Chapter 93 Driving screws on the assembly line!

"Well, is it really true?"

When Lu Changsheng heard the system prompt, he suddenly felt happy.

In the boring and ordinary life he lives every day, only giving birth to a baby and the systematic lottery can make some waves in his heart.

"Will the system give me a share of the money every time I give birth to ten children in the future?"

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but think.

"System, I want to draw a lottery!"

He didn't speculate too much.

After all, if there is too much speculation about this thing, there will be expectations.

Once there are expectations, there will be disappointments.

Looking at the lottery board that appeared in front of him, Lu Changsheng's mind moved slightly: "Start the lottery!"

Immediately, the lottery board began to flow with golden light.

Under Lu Changsheng's gaze, the golden light finally stopped on the 'skill'.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the second-level puppet skill! 】

[The reward has been distributed to the system space, and the host can view it at any time]

A puppet-like light group emerged from the large turntable, accompanied by a system sound.

"Second-level puppet skills?"

Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows when he saw his lottery skills.

Puppetry is a relatively unpopular skill among the various arts of cultivating immortals.

Although it is not as good as the four major categories of formations, alchemy, weapon refining, and talismans.

But relatively speaking, it can be regarded as a pretty good craft.

As long as you learn how to do it, your life will not be bad.

In other words, as long as you learn any one of the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortality and become proficient in it, you will be good at it.

No matter how skilled you are in planting, butchering, herbal medicine, breeding, etc., as long as your skills are good and you work hard, your life will become sweeter and sweeter.

Lu Changsheng's mind moved slightly and he looked at the light group in the system space.

[Second-level puppet skills: After using it, you can directly understand the second-level full-level puppet skills and the corresponding puppet collection. 】

"Sure enough, just like the talisman making I obtained before, I directly obtained the second-level full-level puppet skill, which means that I can refine puppets that are comparable to the peak of foundation building."

"With this puppet skill, in the future I will not only be able to carry out Fu Hai tactics, but also Puppet Hai tactics!"

"If I have a few second-level puppets with me, then my safety will be guaranteed in the future!"

Lu Changsheng looked at the explanation above and nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied.

He still feels that this craft is very good, he likes it very much, and it suits him very well.

In other words, Lu Changsheng felt good about cultivating immortals and various arts.

After all, having too many skills doesn’t weigh you down!

It’s not a bad thing to be more crafty.

Even if you don't need it temporarily, you can teach it to your children and others when you build a family in the future.

Lu Changsheng had already thought about it.

If he established a cultivating family, he would still be the same as now.

Avoid fighting, avoid fighting, make friends, and be harmonious to make money.

The entire family relied on each craft to earn money steadily.

Immediately.

Lu Changsheng used the second-level puppet skills in the system space.

In an instant, a stream of knowledge and information poured into his mind out of thin air.

"The First Interpretation of Puppet"

"Basic Puppet Collection"

"Complete Collection of First-Order Puppet"

"Encyclopedia of Second-Level Puppet"

"I make puppets with my bare hands"

"How the Puppet Was Created"

"The Thing Between Me and the Puppet"

a long time.

A bunch of knowledge and information about puppets flooded into Lu Changsheng's mind.

Identification of materials for making puppets.

How to make a puppet from the skeleton of a monster or a vicious beast.

The puppet's formation inscription, spiritual hub spiritual control, etc.

"call!"

"As expected of the system, even if I have experienced it once before, this feeling still feels mysterious."

Lu Changchang took a breath and looked at his hands.

Not only did he have a lot of knowledge about puppets in his mind.

It feels like my own hands have been making, assembling, polishing, and refining puppets for decades.

If he had a pile of materials now, he could make a puppet with his bare hands on the spot.

"However, this puppetry skill seems not as good as I thought."

After Lu Changsheng absorbed the second-level puppet skills, he frowned slightly.

Based on what he knew about puppet making.

It was discovered that there were several big problems with making puppets.

waste time!

Waste money!

Even though he has second-level puppet skills and is a top-level second-level puppet master!

With readily available materials, it would take two or three days, or even longer, to build an ordinary first-order low-grade puppet.

As for a first-level mid-level puppet, it will take at least seven or eight days, or even ten days and a half.

As for the first-level high-grade puppet, it takes even longer, basically starting from ten days and a half.

Normally, he has to practice, make talismans, accompany his wife and concubines, and make babies. Lu Changsheng clearly knows that he does not have so much time and energy to make puppets in batches.

Moreover, the cost of materials required to make the puppets is high.

Lu Changsheng made a preliminary estimate.

An ordinary first-level low-grade puppet requires twenty or thirty spirit stones in terms of material cost alone.

Although he didn't know the specific price of a low-grade puppet.

But he also roughly knows that the price of a low-grade puppet will not exceed one hundred spirit stones.

In other words, if you make a puppet and work for three or four days, you will only make three or four times the profit in the end.

Compared to the talisman, this is simply embarrassing!

"No wonder there is a chain of contempt among craftsmen. Formation, alchemy, weapon refining, and talismans are the four mainstream arts that look down on other crafts."

"Puppetry is pretty good among the various arts of cultivating immortals. But compared to the relatively easy and profitable craft of making talismans, the gap is immediately clear."

"What's more, among the four mainstream arts of cultivating immortals, talisman still ranks at the bottom."

Lu Changsheng shook his head and sighed.

I suddenly felt that this second-level puppet skill was a bit useless for my current situation.

First of all, there is no way to make money from this craft.

Making money by making puppets is easier and faster than making money by making talismans.

Then the time and material costs of manufacturing are too high.

The puppet sea tactics he originally imagined were instantly abandoned.

He can't afford to play with even a first-level low-grade puppet.

As for his desire to create a second-level puppet, there is no need to think about it.

It’s not that there’s no way to build it, it’s just that there’s no money.

Lu Changsheng is not very clear about the material cost of a second-level puppet.

But he initially estimated that it would be at least several thousand spiritual stones.

"It's so difficult!"

Lu Changsheng sighed deeply.

It feels like money is needed everywhere on this spiritual path.

He now needs money to save the miserable female cultivator living in Baiyu Tower.

You also need money to buy a first-level talisman pen, second-level talisman-making materials, and draw second-level talisman.

I don’t have enough money, I need money very much, how can I still have money to buy materials and make second-level puppets.

"Alas, one person is limited after all."

"It would be too difficult if I had to do everything myself and have to do everything by myself."

"There is simply not enough time and energy. No wonder many craftsmen choose to join one force."

Lu Changsheng shook his head and sighed.

I also understand why many people choose to join one force.

Because joining a force brings so many conveniences.

Just like when I was in the Lu family, I also enjoyed a lot of family conveniences.

But the problem is that neither the second-level talisman on his body nor the current second-level puppet can be displayed.

There is no way to quickly convert it into resources.

And now that he is not strong enough, he does not dare to reveal his second-level skills.

Otherwise, what if I am reduced to a tool maker making talismans for eight hours a day.

"Hey, wait a minute, although the art of puppetry is difficult, its main difficulty lies in its complexity."

"Not only do you need to be able to polish materials, create parts yourself, refine parts, and assemble them, you also need to be able to inscribe spiritual pattern formations on the puppets, etc."

"It is naturally difficult for one person to master all of these, but these steps can be completely divided and let different people do it."

Lu Changsheng digested the puppet knowledge in his mind.

Suddenly I felt that this puppet manufacturing process was a bit like the assembly factory where I worked on the assembly line screwing screws in my previous life, and I couldn't help but have an idea.

"If a person only needs to master one of them, wouldn't it be simple?"

"I will find a group of apprentices with some talent and teach them the parts, parts, and assembly of the puppet to different people."

"Then engrave the core spirit pattern formation of the puppet and teach it to trustworthy people. Wouldn't this enable the puppet to be streamlined?"

"As long as the puppets are streamlined and the volume is increased, wouldn't it be easier to make money?"

"After all, when it comes to making talismans, even if the profit is high, only one person can do it, so it can't compare to the products of the assembly line."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

The more Lu Changsheng thought about this idea, the more feasible it became.

For things like making talismans, you can only draw them yourself.

But with second-level puppet skills, as a second-level puppet master, he found that puppets can be divided into tasks.

The difficulty in the craft of puppetry lies in its complexity.

Not only do you have to create and assemble the parts for refining the puppet, but you also have to inscribe the spiritual pattern formation on the puppet.

You even need to understand mechanics, human mechanics, physics, mechanical structure, and a lot more.

But if you divide these things, industrialize them, and let different people do it, the threshold will be lowered immediately.

There is every hope that it will become an assembly line industry.

"If I can think of this kind of thing, others should be able to think of it too, right?"

"Forget it, this is a bit far away for me now anyway. I'll consider it later when I have the strength."

Lu Changsheng shook his head and suppressed the thoughts he had just had.

If he wants to build a puppet manufacturing industry, he must have a certain level of strength before he can start implementing it.

Now that I have no money or strength, I still rely on making talismans to make money and give birth to children.

It looked like the sky was getting dark outside. It was almost evening, so Lu Changsheng walked out of the Lingfu Shop.

Get ready to buy some materials for making puppets.

The cost of this thing is high, but since I have the technology, I have to use my hands to build two toys.

If it doesn't work, it can be used as a toy for children when the time comes.

Lu Changsheng did not go to the casual cultivator market to buy materials.

This round trip, before I finish shopping, it will be dark.

Half an hour later.

Lu Changsheng came to Qingyun Chamber of Commerce.

This is a store opened by the Qingyun Sect itself. It has seven floors and is very luxurious.

There are elixirs, magic weapons, exercises, heavenly materials, earthly treasures, etc. for sale, and everything is guaranteed.

Lu Changsheng came to Qingyun Chamber of Commerce and purchased the materials to build a first-order low-grade puppet and a first-order mid-grade puppet.

I also bought some spiritual materials for practicing the Hundred Refining Treasure Body Technique.

Although the Hundred Refining Treasure Body Technique has the Black Dragon Magic Pearl, he has also made rapid progress in his own cultivation.

But Lu Changsheng would also devote half an hour every day to practicing the Hundred Refining Treasure Body Art.

In the end, Lu Changsheng bought everything he wanted, spending two hundred and thirty-six spirit stones.

This made his already poor family even worse.

The day to go to Baiyulou has to be postponed again.

After leaving the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, Lu Changsheng passed by a 'Qianji Pavilion' that sold puppets.

Went in and asked about the price of the puppet.

The shopkeeper told him that different puppets have different functions, and there are price differences even if they are of the same grade.

Then I told him the approximate price of the puppet.

The price of a first-level low-grade puppet is about seventy or eighty spirit stones.

The price of a first-level mid-grade puppet is about three hundred spirit stones.

The price of a first-level high-grade puppet is about one thousand spirit stones.

The price of a top-grade first-class puppet is about three thousand spirit stones.

After hearing the price, Lu Changsheng said goodbye and left.

It wasn't that the price was too high, he just wanted to know how much the puppet could be sold for.

Regarding this price, Lu Changsheng could only say that making money with puppets is a matter of course.

But compared to the talisman, it can only be regarded as a bit of hard money.

Of course, if the other party is the assembly line process he envisioned, that would be another story.

After buying the materials, Lu Changsheng went home without going back to the Talisman Shop.

After all, a child was born at home today, so I naturally had to go back early to take a look.

After returning home, Lu Changsheng visited his newborn child and took him to the yard to sit around.

Sitting in the yard with the child in his arms and enjoying the tranquility is also a kind of relaxation for Lu Changsheng.

Of course, the premise is that the child doesn't cry.

After sitting quietly for a while, Lily came over to report to Lu Changsheng that Xia Long from next door was visiting.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately stood up, held the child in Lily's arms, and went to greet him with a smile.

This next door neighbor is his big customer.

Every few months, they would come to him to buy talismans, and the talismans they purchased were top-grade ones.

It can also be considered a relatively stable channel for selling talismans.

"Fellow Daoist Xia, are you ready to go on an adventure again?"

Lu Changsheng came to the hall, saw Xia Long, and said aloud.

He remembered that the other party only came back half a month ago.

"Yes, I am fifty years old now. If I don't work hard, I will have no chance."

"What's more, I have two children at home who are also starting to practice."

Xia Long sighed and said.

Lu Changsheng knew that if he didn't work hard, he would have no chance, and he was referring to foundation building.

There is a saying that has been circulating in the world of immortality.

If a monk wants to attack the foundation, the final limit is sixty years old.

After the age of sixty, the body begins to decline and decline.

Not only will the probability of foundation building decrease, but the risk will also increase.

After all, foundation building is no joke.

Once the foundation building fails, the person will be seriously injured and his cultivation will regress.

In severe cases, the meridians will be damaged and the person will become disabled, or even die directly.

"What talisman does Fellow Daoist Xia want this time?"

Lu Changsheng asked directly without talking much about this aspect.

"Does Fellow Daoist Lu have a thunder talisman, a golden light shield talisman, a nectar talisman, and a hundred-mile escape talisman on him?"

Xia Long asked.

"Lu has several of these kinds of talismans on him. I wonder how many Daoist fellow Xia need each."

Lu Changsheng said calmly.

"Do you have two or three thunder talismans?"

Xia Long asked.

"There happen to be three of them. If Fellow Daoist Xia needs them, I can sell them all to you. I happen to have a restock in the store next month."

Lu Changsheng said so.

This statement is naturally false.

The talismans he sold to Xia Long were all talismans drawn for himself and placed on his body for protection.

Among them, there are more than a hundred high-grade talismans.

There are almost fifty top-quality talismans.

The reason why there are only so many talismans and not more drawings is that time is limited.

In addition, apart from self-defense, there is currently no safe way to sell these talismans.

The cost of materials is here, so it's not easy for him to stock up too much.

"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Lu. In addition to the three thunder talismans, I want one of the other three talismans."

Xia Long said.

"Fellow Daoist Xia bought so many talismans this time. Could it be that he went to a more dangerous place?"

"I also have a thunder talisman that I have with me. If Fellow Daoist Xia wants it, I can sell it to you."

Lu Changsheng thought that he was short of money now, and as neighbors, he and Xia Long had been doing business for so long.

I think I can sell one or two top-quality talismans to the other party.

After all, he does have a thunder talisman given to him by the Fourth Elder, which makes sense.

"Huh? Fellow Daoist Lu actually has a top-quality talisman. I wonder what price Fellow Daoist Lu will sell it for!"

Xia Long suddenly looked happy when he heard this.

"This is also given to me by my elders for self-defense. If Fellow Daoist Xia needs it, just treat it as if I have sold the top-quality talismans that will be sold in the store next month in advance."

"As for the price, it's the same as the store price, two hundred and twenty spiritual stones."

Lu Changsheng said so.

"Okay, thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Lu."

Xia Long immediately cupped his hands and said.

In Jiulongfang City, top-quality talismans are not so easy to buy.

When I heard that it was available, I was naturally willing to buy it.

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Xia."

Lu Changsheng took out seven talismans from the storage bag, and then said: "There are 490 spirit stones in total. Fellow Daoist Xia can only give 450 spirit stones."

When he usually trades with Xia Long, he will give a preferential price.

This is one of the reasons why the other party comes to him regularly to buy talismans.

Not only are the channels stable, the quality of the talismans is guaranteed, and the prices are relatively favorable.

"Okay, thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu."

Xia Long was also very happy.

He took out four hundred and fifty spirit stones from his storage bag, then said goodbye and left.

Lu Changsheng sent him out, then snorted with a pleased look on his face: "Sure enough, talisman is the way to go. What a trash puppet master, even a dog wouldn't do it!"

These seven talismans and six high-grade talismans cost about fifteen spirit stones.

The top-quality talisman, the Thunder Light Talisman, only costs seven spiritual stones.

For a total of twenty-two spirit stones, 450 spirit stones were sold, which was a profit of more than twenty times!

It's not like making a puppet at all.

"You can go to the White Jade Tower tomorrow."

Lu Changsheng looked at the hot spirit stone and thought to himself.

He also has more than two hundred spiritual stones on his body. With these four hundred and fifty, he can find one or two high-quality female cultivators.

At the same time, I hope in my heart that this fellow Daoist Xia can return safely.

Otherwise, he would lose a large and stable customer.

The next day, Lu Changsheng came to Baiyu Tower with the spirit stone in his arms.

With familiarity, he spent 580 spirit stones to buy two maids.

One is a ninth-grade spiritual root, and the other is an eighth-grade spiritual root.

They are all poor people with good appearance and figure, which makes people feel pitiful.

Lu Changsheng couldn't bear to see such a pitiful person.

Originally, the spiritual stones on his body could buy a seventh-grade spiritual root.

But Lu Changsheng thought about it and decided to buy two.

Both quality and quantity are required!

Same as before, still the same, need to wait for notification from Baiyulou.

"Hey, this White Jade Tower is indeed a gold-selling cave. Next time you have money, you should buy the materials for the second-level talisman first."

Lu Changsheng walked out of the White Jade Tower, sighed, shook his head and said.

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

Lu Changsheng's forty-first child was born.

At this time, Lu Changsheng was also preparing to go home on his own.

Because the Lu family's spirit testing ceremony will start in about ten days.

Lu Pingan, Lu Wuyou, Lu Wuyu, and Lu Xile are going to participate.

Even though they already knew the result in their hearts, none of the four children participating in the spirit testing ceremony had spiritual roots.

But after all, this is the first time for my child to participate in the spirit testing ceremony.

As a father, he has to go back and take a look.

"I'm going back alone this time, won't there be another accident?"

Lu Changsheng walked on the road and thought to himself.

In order to avoid being too cool in the city and being stared at.

This time when he went out, he changed his appearance.

He turned into a dark-faced, ordinary young man.
