Women Only Slow Down My Primogem-Earning Hands, but Herrscher of Sentience Doesn't
"The original ones are 5000 Mora each, and the right ones have a more complicated production process, so the price will be higher. There is no specific price. The left ones are 5000 each," Chen Luo said.
"So, Miss Ningguang, how many are you planning to buy?" Chen Luo asked.
"May I take a look?" Ningguang picked up a palm-sized Geo Archon doll from the stall and began to examine it.
"Whatever." Chen Luo glanced at Ningguang and then continued carving the puppet.
Chen Luo could be considered to be practicing his puppetry skills by sculpting puppets.
Ningguang carefully observed everyone at the stalls, and then noticed the dolls on the left stall that cost 5000 Mora each for those with a special destiny. They did indeed have some unique patterns engraved on them.
The puppets on the right and left are generally smaller, while those on the right are generally larger and more exquisite, appearing as if they are about to come to life.
It is evident that Chen Luo's craftsmanship in making statues or dolls is indeed exceptional.
Moreover, the strange patterns carved on the right-hand doll are more numerous and the effect is more obvious.
Just touching the largest Geo Archon dragon-shaped ornament made Ningguang feel as if her spirits were soothed.
After clearly perceiving the effects of these runes, Ningguang temporarily removed Chen Luo from the list of suspects.
The effects of ordinary dolls are usually subtle and barely noticeable, but when the effects are enhanced, they become more acutely apparent.
Ningguang, having seen this place, looked up at Shenhe again.
In business, having a keen eye is a very important skill; you can't afford to be inaccurate in judging people.
Ningguang didn't sense any aura of Immortal Sect Disciple from Chen Luo, but she felt that Shenhe was more like a cultivator from the mountains and forests, and was very likely Immortal Sect Disciple.
After all, the other party's otherworldly temperament was very conspicuous.
"Alright Lulu, pick one you like, I'll pay." Ningguang said after patting Lulu's head.
"Then I want... wait, big brother, do you support personalized statue customization here?" Lulu was about to make a selection when she suddenly remembered something.
"Yeah, what's up? Do you want a self-carved one? Since you have a big spender here, I can't give you a discount. Private carving is 10,000 Mora, no bargaining." Chen Luo glanced at Ningguang.
"10,000 Mora ...okay." Ningguang nodded.
Merchants are inherently profit-driven, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to make more money.
Moreover, it was from the discount that the other party had just mentioned that Ningguang finally understood her doubts.
Ningguang had no idea that the three children had Mora combined 15,000 Mora.
That being said, just like the doll that the young man just stepped on, it was carved with Adeptus Formations that could calm the mind and focus the spirit. Selling it for 50,000 Mora would indeed be considered charity, let alone 5,000 Mora.
That's why Ningguang just watched quietly from the side.
"Do you want to carve yourself? Or do you want to carve your three friends?" Chen Luo asked, taking out a piece of good quality wood from his backpack.
Some of these timbers were felled by Chen Luo on his way from Jueyun Karst to Liyue Harbor, and their quality was quite good.
"Can you carve a picture of Ningguang?" Lulu asked excitedly.
"Hmm?" Ningguang looked down at Lulu.
"I am perfectly capable of anything, except when it comes to dolls. I have full confidence in myself, especially when it comes to sculpting human-shaped dolls, which is where I excel."
"But we need to consult Ms. Ningguang on this matter, since the right to one's image is one of the basic human rights. In theory, I will only sculpt a statue of myself without my permission," Chen Luo said.
"Portrait rights?" Upon hearing this term, Ningguang couldn't help but glance at Chen Luo again.
"How long will it take me to complete this sculpture?" Ningguang asked, glancing up at the sun in the sky.
Ningguang wouldn't mind if it only took ten minutes or so to model, but if it took too long, that wouldn't do.
"No need, you can leave now," Chen Luo said after looking up at Ningguang seriously.
"I also have a photographic memory, and I can carve very quickly. By the way, Lulu, do you want the regular version of Ningguang or the limited edition Ningguang?" Chen Luo asked Lulu.
"Limited edition!" Although Lulu didn't understand anything, Lulu knew that a limited edition must be very good.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
The reward of 20 Primogem is pretty good.
Give me half a minute.
"Half a minute is enough?" Lulu asked in surprise.
Then Lulu and Ningguang watched in disbelief as Chen Luo sculpted a lifelike doll in just half a minute.
"Here you go." Chen Luo handed Ningguang doll.
"This outfit..." Ningguang looked at the doll's clothes with some confusion.
This doll is also engraved with some patterns that can soothe the mind and relieve stress, but these are not important.
"I already said it's a limited edition doll, so isn't it normal for the outfit to be different? This outfit is called 'Orchid in the Mist'."
"Um, could you also sculpt a doll just like this one for me?" The secretary following behind Ningguang asked, looking at the doll.
"You'll have to ask Miss Ningguang about that."
"Baishi," Ningguang said softly.
"Ah, Lady Ningguang, I just think this outfit really suits you, so I plan to have a replica of this doll made, take it back and study it carefully, and then make a matching replica of the outfit," said the secretary, Baishi.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
[Ningguang, hehe, Ningguang...]: Sculpt another Ningguang doll of the same style for Baishi.
Reward: 100 Primogem
Difficulty: Two stars
"...Hmm, that works too." Looking at Baishi's sincere gaze and then at the clothes on the doll in her hand, Ningguang nodded.
This outfit is indeed quite nice.
"..."
Chen Luo, sitting to the side, did not think that Baishi was really just looking at clothes.
If you only wanted to look at clothes, could you really get a reward of 100 Primogem?
You're not the holder of the Vision.
Chapter 318 Women will only disrupt my speed in earning Primogem, but Herrscher of Knowledge won't.
"I'll buy all these wooden and clay figurines from your stall, at 10,000 Mora each, how about that?"
After Chen Luo saw Lulu and the other two off and carved a limited edition Ningguang doll for Baishi, Ningguang pointed to all the items on the stall in front of Chen Luo and said.
"Hmm, not very good." Chen Luo shook his head.
"Is the price too low? Of course, the ones on the left are 10,000 Mora. The ones on the right are much better made. You can name your price." Ningguang said, looking at the larger and more lifelike dolls.
The items on the left side of Chen Luo's stall are mass-market products, while those on the right are high-end products.
"It's not a matter of price, but rather that those with the right to claim it should occupy it," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.
"To be honest, the wooden dolls I just sold to those three children cost 300 Mora each, but I used high-quality Quicksand Wood. At 300 Mora each, I couldn't even recoup my initial investment."
The Quicksand Wood has the excellent qualities of being impervious to wind and rain and lasting for hundreds of years. It is a rare and good material for making decorations that Chen Luo can hardly obtain. This kind of wood mostly grows in Tianqiu Valley, but it is also scattered in other places.
"That's why I said these things belong to those who are destined to have them. Miss Ningguang, do you really think these things are only worth 5,000 Mora?" Chen Luo asked, tilting his head.
Please, while the Adeptus Formations on it may not be some rare treasure, they certainly can't be bought for a mere 5,000 Mora.
Chen Luo doesn't lack Mora; otherwise, Chen Luo could have robbed the Northland Bank and gotten some.
Of course, more importantly, Ningguang was more interested in spending money to buy the items in front of her, and she only regarded these things as rare commodities with low desire, so she didn't have many Primogem.
50 Primogem? Are you trying to Delia off?
Ningguang's strength is certainly sufficient, as are her obsession and desire, but Ningguang regards this thing, which is not very technologically advanced, as just an ordinary commodity.
People have high aspirations, but they don't actually want these things that much, so it would be strange if the prices were high.
Rather than selling them all directly to Ningguang Chen Luo, it's better to sit here and wait for someone who likes the Geo Archon and wants the dolls to pass by and sell them to them cheaply.
The Primogem, the Primogem, is the most important.
Can you buy Gnosis with Primogem? Can you buy it with Mora?
"The one destined to live there? Hmm, that sounds a lot like the way the Eight Gates people do. What if we want to commission something from you?" Ningguang asked Chen Luo, stroking her chin.
"What is that?" Chen Luo looked up.
"Have you ever heard of a game called 'Liyue Millennium'?" Ningguang asked.
"Chess?" Chen Luo's heart skipped a beat.
Ever since acquiring the skill that Half a Catty of Chess Supremacy, Chen Luo would have a slightly special reaction whenever he heard any chess piece.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
[Liyue Millennium]: Create a beautiful set of [Liyue Millennium] chessboard and pieces by engraving the immortal Adeptus Formations.
Rewards: 200 Primogem + random reward + Ningguang Affinity 10
Difficulty: Two stars
"Since your craftsmanship is so outstanding, I would like you to help me create a chessboard and pieces for the 'Liyue Millennium' game using these special array patterns that can calm the mind," Ningguang said to Chen Luo.
Putting aside the magical Adeptus Formations, Chen Luo's carving skills are truly breathtaking.
"I know a little about the Liyue Millennium... It's quite a lot of work." After checking the Void Archive to find out what the [Liyue Millennium] was, Chen Luo paused for a moment.
Ningguang has three hobbies.
Ningguang's first hobby is naturally Mora, which is currently the most important thing in her mind.
The second Jade Chamber, second only to Mora.
The so-called "Liyue Millennium" is Ningguang's third hobby.
This is a game of chess invented by Ningguang herself. No one has been able to beat Ningguang in a game yet because there are no fixed rules in [Liyue Millennium]. The rules of the game are changed entirely according to Ningguang's mood.
However, since the Liyue Millennium board is made to scale with Liyue's shops and buildings, and has a unique art style and exquisite craftsmanship, many Liyue residents who are not players have become its loyal fans just to see what Liyue Millennium looks like.
The version released to the public is the eighth edition, which Ningguang considers the simplest and easiest to understand. However, to the average person, the rules are still far too complicated and cumbersome.
In itself, Ningguang did not invent a game of chess, but rather incorporated Liyue into the chessboard.
In fact, the so-called "Liyue Millennium" is equivalent to our current Monopoly game.
Well, it's a Monopoly game without rules, and one where Ningguang can change the rules at any time. It's no wonder that no one can beat Ningguang.
But... if Chen Luo were to play a game of chess with the opponent.
In a normal game of chess, Chen Luo might not be able to master the game instantly, but Chen Luo has Mind Reading abilities and can use his Fate Threads to keep pace with Ningguang.
But if Ningguang were to suddenly change the rules... then don't blame Chen Luo for using his Half a Catty of Chess Supremacy.
Let's see if your rules are more powerful or the "rules" are more powerful.
"What? Is that not allowed?"
"Sure, why not? But if possible, could you give me a sample first? After all, I'm not entirely familiar with Liyue Harbor yet," Chen Luo said to Ningguang.
"You mean you've taken on this business?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I answer?"
"How much Mora do you need?" Ningguang asked, as was her habit.
"Yes, 10,000 Mora," Chen Luo said.
"Huh?" Ningguang frowned slightly, wondering if she had misheard.
"It says on the sign that a custom order costs 10,000 Mora. Everything is about origin, Miss Ningguang, you seem to have a special connection with this Liyue Millennium set. So I'll only charge you 10,000 Mora," Chen Luo emphasized.
Chen Luo did this so that Ningguang's business mindset wouldn't affect her desire for this set of chess pieces.
This is also to lay the groundwork for the future.
Ningguang a major client, but Chen Luo doesn't want her to use Mora to settle the payment for the goods.
Wouldn't it be better to use more Primogem?
Chen Luo was quite afraid that Ningguang would want to use Mora to solve everything in the future, which would inevitably affect the price of the Primogem offered by the other party.
