Looking at the information that appeared in front of me, even though I was still unfamiliar with these prop cards, I could already feel the importance of this prop in my heart.
He couldn't help but replay Old Man Li's expression in his mind.
He thought deeply about this prop card for a long time, and finally couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth in a subtle arc, and then laughed out loud.
At that time, Old Man Li talked about a lot of things, but he never talked about the essence. It can be understood that whether he taught himself the skills of a papermaker or allowed himself to keep this [Papermaker's Book], they were all trying to paint a bigger picture.
It’s just that maybe Old Man Li never dreamed that his cake would come true as he painted it!
If it hadn't been for his nod of approval, this [Papermaker's Book] would never have been able to be brought out of the script space.
Now that I think about it, it's really... fate, so wonderful.
Seeing that Xu Tong was silent for a long time, smiling stupidly into the air, the girl standing in front of the counter finally couldn't help it anymore.
"Are you okay? What happened to my face!!"
She frowned and glared at Xu Tong. If this guy dared to tell lies to her, she would definitely kill him.
After all, she couldn't sleep well all day yesterday because of this face.
Seeing that the woman was about to get angry, Xu Tong could only calm down his thoughts, coughed twice, and picked up the paper on the table.
His eyes studied her face carefully.
"You put too much powder on your face, but it can't hide the spots on your face. You painted your eyebrows thick, but they don't match your face shape. We can consider local liposuction and laser spot removal. Corrective osteotomy surgery ensures that there will be no trace of the surgery.”
He carefully searched for all possible flaws on the woman's face, listening to the questions coming from his mouth.
The girl's face was uncertain for a moment, and her heart was extremely irritable. Under the table, a clicking sound could be heard, but she didn't know what it was.
Suddenly, Xu Tongxiao paused: "In short, you have a lot of problems, but they are all small problems. The biggest problem now is..."
The girl's eyelids jumped involuntarily, and she put one hand under the table unconsciously.
Of course Xu Tong saw these little moves, but he pretended not to notice and silently took the girl's other hand: "If I told you, I would die. Do you believe it?"
"Um??"
The girl's hands under the table tightened, and after a moment she smiled and said, "Then you tell me first."
"Some words are meaningless when spoken. I wrote them on this piece of paper. If you want to know, just open it and read it."
The girl lowered her head, and a ring with blooming paper flowers was already put on her finger.
"Only you..."
The play button on the radio on the table was gently pressed.
The light shone on her face, and a rare faint blush appeared under her pale skin.
When she was stunned, a hand suddenly slapped the girl's shoulder hard from behind. Before the girl could recover, her annoying teasing voice came from behind: "Hey~~ This is the iron tree blooming, it only happens once in a hundred years. Everyone is gone, why are you still stunned?"
The girl looked up and saw that Xu Tong's back had disappeared behind the glass door.
Looking back, it is no surprise that it was the Jiangnan woman who was the host of Script Killing before.
She was wearing a tight cheongsam that showed off her perfect curves. She waved the paper fan in her hand, and her charming big eyes were staring at the ring on her hand.
"You little goblin, let's see if I don't chop your mouth." I don't know whether it was a good thing that was revealed or she was annoyed by her teasing. The girl became angry and swung the ax under the table and struck the woman.
The other party stepped aside and said inhumanely: "Hey, where did this wild man come from? He just touched his hand. That's it. If I give you some stick honey, why don't you tear this house apart?" !”
As she spoke, the woman picked up the fan in her hand and smashed it towards the girl's face.
The music from the radio continues to play.
Under the light of the bar, two women with attractive figures were wrestling together. It was normal at first, but as they twisted, the shadows on the wall began to become more and more distorted...
It's a pity that Xu Tong didn't see these, otherwise he would have to appreciate them for a while.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw a large shopping mall full of people in front of him. When he looked back, he saw that the door of Script Killing was gone, replaced by the door of Tongrentang Pharmacy.
The display on the door also flashed a slogan offering discounts and eggs.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and flashed through his mind what he saw in the mirror on the table. He couldn't help but grin: "It's so exciting, I'm alive again, hehe."
After saying that, he turned around and walked straight to the gold shop.
The sun shines through the white window screens, and a violin piece called "Siberian Wind" is playing on the speakers.
The solid-colored knife and fork gently cut the beef on the plate, and put it into his mouth in a leisurely manner. Occasionally, he would raise his head and look at the sparkling waves reflected on the Kaiyuan Lake in the distance.
On such a sunny afternoon, no one would be in a bad mood.
But Xu Tong is an exception.
I saw that the room, whether it was the bed, the floor, or even the sofa, was covered with all kinds of paper stamps, and the trash can was filled with crushed waste paper.
There were various exquisite objects placed on the small table beside him, some of which he folded into ingots, and some of which he folded into daggers.
There are even some calves and silly pigs with lifelike expressions that look more like handicrafts.
Even the knife and fork in front of him was the product of his spirit.
When the knife and fork is cutting the beef, it makes rustling sounds on the plate from time to time. It looks almost like a real knife and fork.
But just that, he was not satisfied.
Because the probability of success in possessing a spirit is simply frighteningly low.
After two days of sleepless experiments in the room, he concluded the probability of a successful spirit possession.
For ordinary yellow paper that you buy from a longevity material store, the probability of being possessed by a spirit is 60%
This probability is not high. After two days of crazy practice, it has been improved to 65%.
But these yellow papers, even after being possessed, still do not have the hardness and toughness to meet their needs. Not to mention killing people, even killing a chicken is impossible.
So he found another way and changed to paper with higher hardness, such as 4A paper, but the result was still not very satisfactory, and the probability of success was only 50%.
No, sometimes not even 50%
He also prepared silver foil and gold foil. As a result, the silver foil occasionally succeeded, but the gold foil still failed until now.
He has already spent a full 80 script points on this, completely burning money like crazy.
But that’s not to say there are no gains.
The failure in enchantment brought about a huge contrast in paper control.
So much so that now he didn't even bother to eat, and let the two paper figures holding knives and forks on the table feed them to his mouth. Perhaps he was too tired, so he closed his eyes and began to rest.
At this time, the music playback ended and the local news network started to play randomly.
In addition, there are recent frequent car accidents, please pay attention to safety when driving, etc. As he listened, Xu Tong's ears twitched and he slowly opened his eyes.
Just listen to such a report being inserted in the news.
"Yesterday, Mr. Li Qixiang, the founder of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage Center, sadly passed away. His handmade kites have set many world records. Among them, the largest kite, the Chinese dragon, is 87 meters long. The dragon is vivid and has 57 sections. The body represents fifty-six ethnic groups..."
Listening to the news reports, Xu Tong couldn't help but fall deeply into thought. After a moment, he sat up suddenly, packed his things, and prepared to go out.
In terms of craftsmanship, even if he worked behind closed doors for ten years, he might not be able to figure out any skills, so he planned to go to the old city for a walk. He remembered that there seemed to be a street there that was dedicated to making longevity materials.
However, just when his hand was about to open the door lock, he suddenly froze and looked at the purple invitation card on the door handle. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "Huh? What a coincidence!"
