"Is this a wood carving?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
Tsk, this unforgiving look in her mouth was just like Shi Jiang. It was not cute at all.
"My name is Machida Yuanzi, the editor of the Undying River Library. Can I get to know you?”Machida Yuanzi asked as she reached out her hand. This child was different from the high school students he had seen before. He subconsciously treated him like a peer.
"Hello, my name is Uesugi Kenichi. I'm currently studying in the first year of high school at Yamato Private Academy.”Uesugi Kenichi put down his carving knife and shook hands with Machida Yuanko.
"Uesugi-kun, I can call you that, right?”
"Sure."
"May I ask how you met Shi-chan? How long have you known each other?"
"It's just an ordinary netizen. We've only known each other for less than two weeks.”
"Eh, is that so?" Machida Yuanzi was a little surprised. From Shi-chan's attitude, it didn't seem like something she would do when they first met. Moreover, she was a netizen. This was really beyond her expectations.
However, when she took a look at Uesugi Kenichi, the doubts in her heart eased a little. This kid was so handsome. Could it be that Shi-chan had taken a fancy to him? However, that was impossible. Shi-chan was not that shallow. Could it be that there was something else that she knew?
Machida Yuanzi kept thinking about it. She felt that it should be, and then she felt that it didn't make sense. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't be bothered to think about it. It was fine as long as Shika-chan liked it.
Although she didn't say it explicitly, she treated Shiyu Kasumigaoka as her own daughter, not just as an editor and author.
However, if Shika-chan really liked him, with her personality, she would probably be dreaming. For someone like Uesugi Kenichi, calling him super flashy was already an insult to him. If flashy things really exploded, Uesugi Kenichi would definitely explode like a nuclear bomb, the kind that would cause mutual destruction.
She didn't know how many girls were following behind him, but she knew Kasumigaoka Shiyu's bad nature and didn't think highly of her.
Maybe I should help?
Machida Yuanzi secretly ridiculed him. She had been single for 30 years, yet she still had the time to worry about others. She shook her head and looked at Uesugi Kenichi. Suddenly, her eyebrows raised, and there was an unconcealable surprise.
"What the hell is this? Weren't you holding a piece of wood just now? How did it become a dragon now? This was too illogical.”
She looked at the lifelike dragon coiled on the mountain rock in Uesugi Kenichi's hand, as if it was about to take off in the next moment, and she could not help but complain.
"Did you carve this yourself?" Just as Machida Yuanzi asked the question, she realized that she was stupid. He was right next to her and he was sculpting it completely. Wasn't he retarded to ask this?
Sure enough, she saw Kenichi Uesugi looking at her as if she was a retard.
"I mean, your sculpting skills are very impressive. It's hard to imagine that it's the work of someone your age.”Machida Yuanzi quickly added.
"I'll take it as a compliment." Kenichi Uesugi retracted his gaze and continued to work on the wood carving in his hand. He carefully examined it. He was quite satisfied with the dragon in front of him, but he still felt that something was missing.
He rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. He then grinded the extra part of the root that he was about to cut off on the other side and slowly carved the top part into a cloud.
When the last cut was done, a smile gradually appeared on Uesugi Ken's face. Sure enough, after adding this cloud, the overall artistic conception became more prominent. Not only was it reflected in the exquisite carving work, but the layout was also amazing. This feeling was very good, and his soul seemed to have sublimated along with the carving process.
It was as if a life had been born in his hands, especially the last few cuts. If he made a mistake, the entire work might be completely destroyed.
"Carving level increased to LV10.”
The sudden sound of the system notification made him slightly stunned. After his sculpting level increased to Level 10, his mind became more and more proficient in various sculpting techniques. He quietly experienced this feeling, as if these things were originally in his mind, and then they were slowly recalled by him.
With his Level 10 sculpting skills, the work he sculpted was not the work of a master, but it was not far from it. If he wanted to carve a better work, it was not something that could be done with just the simple tools in his hands.
Recently, he had been using the three-dimensional round carving technique. It was purely hand-carved without the help of any mechanical equipment. This had strict requirements for the sculptor's skills. It required a solid foundation and good spatial composition skills.
Uesugi Kenichi was a little regretful. Although he knew how to carve, he needed the help of other tools. It was better to use stone materials.
Wood carvings were not the only type of carving. Ivory carvings, jade carvings, stone carvings, and so on could be counted. However, wood carvings were the most well-known, and in fact, they took advantage of the material selection. After all, wood was basically everywhere and the tools needed were relatively simple.
Kenichi Uesugi smiled bitterly. Although he had earned more than a million yen in the morning, this amount of money could not even make a splash if he wanted to buy good materials.
However, he had to pay the necessary price. He wasn't that short-sighted. If he really wanted to earn a lot of money by carving, he had to first have a good reputation. Secondly, he had to use good materials. Of course, he could also choose to help others carve, but if he didn't have any reputation or good works, why would others give him such expensive materials?
He opened his eyes after carefully feeling these insights for a while. He rubbed the wooden dragon that was entrenched in the mountain rocks and hidden in the clouds. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. It was just a little small and its aura was a little lacking. In the future, he would definitely try to carve a large one.
As soon as Uesugi turned around, he realized that Machida Yuanzi had been staring at him intently. He felt his scalp tingle." Why are you staring at me?"”
Machida didn't reply. She looked straight at Uesugi Kenichi and slowly shifted her gaze from him to the wood carving in his hand. Her heart felt like it was raging. If she had suspected that this wood carving was made by Uesugi Kenichi before, now she didn't have any doubts. She even wanted to worship Uesugi Kenichi.
Under her gaze, Kenichi Uesugi used the carving knife in his hand to carve the dragon that was already vivid and lifelike.
Even if they were just watching from the side, they could feel how amazing this skill was. Ordinary people would not be able to reach this level without ten or twenty years of hard work.
