Back in the office, Lu Ming sat in the boss 'chair.
He looked at the time and was about to turn on his computer to watch the live broadcast when he suddenly heard a familiar voice that he had not heard in a long time.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for selling 1,000 storage items. Reward: Master level carving skill.
Detected that the host has met the requirements to receive the reward. Do you wish to receive it?
Yes/No.
Lu Ming was stunned when he heard the familiar yet unfamiliar mechanical voice.
There was a moment of shock on his face.
He had been so busy today that he had forgotten that he still had a system mission.
Fortunately, he had forgotten that the system was still very responsible.
"Receive it!"
Lu Ming didn't hesitate and chose yes.
In the next second, Lu Ming felt a sharp pain in his head.
After a short period of discomfort, he realized that he had gained a lot of knowledge about sculpting.
Carving was undoubtedly an art.
It was the observation of nature and life by the ancient ancestors, the combination of nature and art.
Traditional carving was to cut and polish natural resources such as wood and stone into the patterns and shapes that one imagined in their minds.
The range of carving designs was very wide.
From the garden stone statue to the peach hair, they could all be carved.
After Lu Ming finished sensing the knowledge about carving in his mind, he could not help but sigh at the profoundness of this art.
There were round carvings, embossed, openwork sculptures, lacquer carvings, jade carvings, bamboo carvings... Wait a minute.
Any skill required a person to spend a lifetime practicing it.
Even with this, he might not be able to reach the perfect realm.
And because of the system, he easily mastered the master level carving technique.
It had to be said that this was simply cheating.
After receiving the system's reward, Lu Ming suddenly felt his hands itch.
It was just like in the game, when you suddenly obtained a powerful item that cost 999 yuan with one slash and couldn't wait to try it.
However, Lu Ming restrained the urge in his heart.
Firstly, he did not have any carving tools.
Secondly, it was night time, so the light was dim.
"We can only wait until tomorrow."
Lu Ming sighed in disappointment.
Lu Ming had always been curious about the art of carving.
In his previous life, when he was young, there was an old master in the village who was proficient in one of the twelve traditional carving skills-walnut carving.
Everyone knew about walnuts.
As a very common dried fruit, most people were probably familiar with it.
The surface of the walnut was covered with uneven patterns, so it was even more difficult to carve.
The walnut carving was a test of the master's overall planning ability.
If he wanted to learn how to carve walnuts, he had to learn to use the natural texture on the surface of the walnuts and combine it with the carving process. Only then could he carve a perfect piece of art.
He had the honor of seeing a walnut carving made by an old master in the village.
It was a walnut sculpture with two dragons carved on it. The old people in the village said that it was two dragons playing with a pearl.
The two dragons were naturally the two dragons carved on the walnut, and the pearl was naturally the walnut.
Unfortunately, the people of that era did not realize the value of this art.
By the time the trend of eating walnuts started to take off, the old master had already passed away.
" Perhaps I can use the Master Carving skill to develop a new type of blind box…"
Lu Ming frowned and fell into deep thought.
Speaking of carving, Lu Ming thought of two types of blind boxes.
One was the blind antique box.
Bronze carvings, jade carvings, ivory carvings, wood carvings, and so on could all be classified as blind antique boxes.
The other type was the handmade blind box.
This was easier to understand. It was nothing more than carving various figurines.
The Blind Box was the one he was most familiar with in his previous life.
Although he had never found any authentic out-of-print figurines.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming was more inclined to the second option.
Firstly, the internet was highly developed in this era, and the entertainment industry was on the rise.
The animation, games, and other industries all had explosive prospects.
With a foothold in the surrounding areas of the 2D world, there was naturally no need to worry about the problem of no consumers willing to buy it.
Secondly, most of the people who played blind box were young people.
Young people were the main consumers of the blind box market. Compared to antiques, more young people liked figurines.
Finally, the antique blind box was not just about carving. You had to know the necessary knowledge of antiques.
For example, retro technology.
You can't say that you carved a Green Dragon Crescent Blade out of wood and tell the consumer that this is the one that Guan Yu used to kill all the enemies.
Wouldn't this be spurted out by the consumers!
In addition to retro techniques, he also had to master ancient craftsmanship.
For example, if you carved an embroidered spring knife and insisted that it was from the Song Dynasty, wouldn't that be asking for criticism?
Therefore, he could get a blind antique box, but he had to have the corresponding knowledge.
At the very least, they couldn't mix up the ages and make it look like an old item.
Therefore, even though he had mastered the Master Level Carving Skill, whether it was in terms of knowledge reserve or cost, the Blind Handmade Box was undoubtedly the best choice.
Nowadays, animation and games were one of the hobbies of many young people, and their market prospects were also very hot.
"This can be done."
After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Ming had a rough idea.
However, just like the shoe box, if one wanted to make a handmade box, they first had to have a figurine that could attract consumers as the treasure of the store.
Only with a gimmick would everyone be willing to pay for your blind box.
"System, sign in!"
Thinking of this, Lu Ming suddenly realized that he had been busy dealing with orders and shipping goods today.
He had not received the blind box for signing in for free today.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. You have received today's Level 1 Blind Box. Would you like to receive it?
Yes/No.
"Yes, sir!"
Lu Ming did not say anything else and directly chose yes.
As soon as he finished speaking, a white light flashed in front of his eyes.
When the white light dissipated, Lu Ming looked at the table in front of him. There was indeed a blind box.
Lu Ming pushed the instant noodles to the side, found a pair of scissors, and cut open the packaging, revealing the box inside.
The box was not very big, about 20*50 cm.
Judging from the thickness of the box, it didn't look like a shoe box.
When Lu Ming saw this, his eyes flashed with anticipation.
"What is it?"
Lu Ming found the opening of the box and gently pushed open the buckle that was blocking the box.
When the box was opened, the mysterious object inside was revealed.
Ding ~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a piece of golden thread Phoebe.
