Crack, crack…
More than an hour later, Xu Cong put down the carving knife and blew away the wood shavings on a piece of wood the size of a middle finger. A lifelike, mighty and domineering statue was formed.
Xu Cong gently placed the statue on the table and took a few steps back. After carefully examining it for a moment, he couldn't help but praise,"Wow, these facial features, these strong muscles, and the soul-seducing chains wrapped around his body are exactly the same as a real Yin God!”
This was a reapers and a Yin God.
It was carved by Xu Cong according to the image of the reapers in the netherworld in his memories from his previous life.
He was probably the only person in the world who could make a wood carving of this level.
If he sold it on the market, it would not be a problem for him to sell it for a few hundred yuan.
But…what was the use!
Thinking of this, Xu Cong's expression became a little dejected.
He was actually a transmigrator who had been in this world for two to three years.
This was a world where demons and devils were resurrected and ghosts ran amok.
Only Demon Hunters, Taoist priests, monks, and other special people who could subdue demons and ghosts could be popular in this world.
In the beginning, Xu Cong had also fantasized that he could be like other transmigrators and cultivate the Dao of capturing ghosts and subduing demons. He would punish and kill those demons and ghosts that ran amok in the city and become an existence that everyone respected.
However, he did not expect that there seemed to be a deviation in his system.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the wooden sculpture. Experience points 345!”
A familiar voice sounded. Xu Cong casually opened his attribute panel.
[Host: Xu Cong]
[Age: 21]
[Skills: Wood Carving (Return to True), Jade Carving (Return to True), Stone Carving (Return to True)…]
[Identity: Ordinary]
That's right, his system was a master craftsman, and a master sculptor at that. It could help him learn all kinds of sculpting arts.
From a small wooden sword accessory to a large portrait.
The system had set the levels of the skill to be Beginner's Knowledge, Perfection, and Return to True!
After two to three years of hard work, he had already entered the realm of returning to his original state.
But what was the use?
He wanted to learn how to capture ghosts and subdue demons, not become a master of art!
No matter how powerful these skills were, they could not stop the vengeful spirits from taking their lives!
Xu Cong felt that the system must have made a mistake. Otherwise, it should have given him a Celestial Master System or a system of an accomplished monk.
In a world where demons were rampant, a system with a master of art had appeared. Wasn't this a scam?
However, in the past few years, Xu Cong had also gotten over it.
Even if the system was wrong, he still had to survive in this chaotic era!
Fortunately, he had inherited this small art carving shop from his parents, and with a sum of money that was enough for him to eat and wait for death for five years, he could barely live like a salted fish in this chaotic world.
Under normal circumstances, he could barely make ends meet by selling some wood carvings every day.
In addition, he had a good relationship with his neighbors and learned how to cook from them. It was not too expensive to order takeout occasionally.
Moreover, everyone knew that this society was not peaceful.
Demons and ghosts were rampant, and everyone believed in Taoism and Buddhism, as well as the exorcism skills of Demon Hunters.
Therefore, almost every household had some magic tools to protect their homes.
However, these magic tools that came from the hands of real eminent monks or Demon Hunters with real abilities were all extremely expensive.
Ordinary people could not afford it.
An exorcism talisman cost 10,000 yuan, and an amulet blessed by a monk cost 20,000 yuan.
You dare to believe it!
However, he did not know if it would be useful. If it was really useless, then so much money could not be bought easily.
The people living around Xu Cong were all ordinary families. Naturally, they could not bear to spend such an expensive price.
Therefore, they bought one or two wood carvings, jade carvings, or stone carvings from Xu Cong's shop to ward off evil spirits at home.
The things that Xu Cong carved were basically Yin Gods, peach wood swords, Taoist priests, monks, Buddha beads, and so on.
It was barely related to exorcism. Regardless of whether it was effective or not, at least it looked like it and could give people comfort!
This was actually related to Xu Cong's arrival in this world.
He was also timid, and he was afraid of being haunted by malicious ghosts.
Therefore, after inheriting this art carving shop, all the things he carved were in this area.
Ever since Xu Cong opened his shop, there had never been any incidents of the Evils causing trouble.
Xu Cong also gradually fell in love with this kind of idle life.
He casually wrapped the Yin God Wood Carving in a box.
Xu Cong walked out of the door and looked up at the sky. The sun was high in the sky, and it was noon. He also heaved a sigh of relief."Fortunately, the weather today is not bad. The sun is as hot as fire, and the demons don't dare to come out.”
"It's still early until night. If we go out and send the things over now, it will take at most three hours to go back and forth.”
Then, Xu Cong turned around and closed the door. He walked to the bus stop and got on the 301 bus to the East City Public Transport Center.
Half an hour later, the bus arrived at the East City Public Transport Center.
After getting out of the car, Xu Cong hailed a taxi and arrived at Clearwater Bay Villa Community.
This was the wealthy district of Shanghai. The price of a villa was easily tens of millions. It was an existence that Xu Cong had to look up to.
Just as Xu Cong walked to the door, the guard in charge of guarding the door glanced at Xu Cong warily.
After all, those who could come here were either rich or noble.
The clothes that Xu Cong was wearing did not have anything to do with wealth.
Xu Cong thought for a moment and stepped forward." Brother, can I trouble you to call the owner of Villa No. 9 for me?"”
"What do you want from the owner of Villa No. 9?" The guard asked with an unfriendly expression. Did you make an appointment in advance? If you do, you can give him a call.”
"No, she's my university classmate." Xu Cong shook his head.”
"It's her birthday today, so she greeted us in the group chat. We're classmates, and we haven't seen each other for years. I prepared a small gift for her.”
"If it's not convenient for you to contact her, can you help me pass this gift to her?”
Originally, Xu Cong did not plan to come out today.
However, Xia Wanhe, who was his university classmate and the school belle, tagged everyone in their classmate group and said that it was her birthday and that everyone must come.
There were only about 20 people in this group, and they had a good relationship with each other in school.
Moreover, when Xia Wanhe graduated from her senior year, she helped Xu Cong get a passing score for his professional course, so that he could successfully get his graduation certificate.
After graduation, everyone basically went their separate ways and didn't really contact each other.
However, Xu Cong still remembered this favor.
Now, Xia Wan He not only tagged everyone in the group, but also sent messages one by one. Even if Xu Cong did not go in, the gift should still be delivered.
