Chapter 957: Imperial Craftsmen
red Empire.Old Ginger was crying at the door, this time the plan was ruined. He could only try to appease Lu Cheng and have him temporarily store the inventory in the card maker's warehouse, but would...The noblewomen of the Camel Hump star system have recently taken a liking to a new product called "Osmanthus."
The setbacks on the front lines have nothing to do with these people, at least not now.
They only know that this fiery food came from beyond the fringe star sectors, brought to Camel Hump Star by wandering merchants.
Osmanthus flowers are sought after for three reasons: their limited availability, their delicious taste, and the legendary miraculous beauty benefits they supposedly possess.
Women are mostly fond of flowers. When a consumable card is associated with flowers and you claim it has beauty benefits, they will likely believe it.
This card even appeared at the birthday party of the Star Lord's pet slave, given to the guests, and immediately caused it to become extremely expensive and priceless.
This kind of luxurious card is generally not related to impoverished sand-diggers like Jeb.
But he desperately wanted to get one.
Yeb camel hump.
No one knows, before becoming a sand-gatherer, Jeb was once a pyramid worker, a royal card maker.
He proposed that cards need a strong background, a theoretical connection between the synthesis formula and the card's design.
But because this theory conflicted with another card maker, in the debate Jeb found himself at a disadvantage and eventually fell from grace.
His opponent didn't let him off the hook, he could only flee to the fringe world for refuge.
Yebu considered himself highly accomplished, but due to the pressures of life, he was forced to make a living by panning for sand.
But yesterday, when delivering goods to the Xiangxing Temple, I glimpsed a wealthy woman holding a osmanthus flower at the back gate, discussing it with someone.
An outsider sees the commotion, but an insider sees the details. Just one glance, and he saw that the level of detail in this work was probably unmatched even in the Third Dynasty.
The Third Dynasty cards were all handmade, and the star ratings are easy to understand. The dynasty has energy that surpasses even high-star energy consumables.
But the card craftsmanship is not on the same level.
Jeb looked at the "Nile River Bread" in his hand, then at Guihua's pasta, intricately carved and seamlessly fused!
To mass-produce cards of this level of detail, the workshop's artisans in both number and quality far surpass those of the dynasty.
He tossed and turned in his sleep at night.
All thoughts converge into a single sentence.
Technological leaps are fundamentally driven by discoveries that significantly enhance efficiency.
Danger, or opportunity
He couldn't fall asleep no matter what, so he got up and started counting 【the Golden Sands】.
I absolutely need to get my hands on this!
But buying it is out of the question, so I can only go to that wandering merchant.
Where is the wandering merchant
Manni knows, he made a killing this time.
Counting the sands at the Golden Sands until my hand cramps.
Although it is a marginal world, the wealth of the Tuomo Star Region is far from comparable to its own destitute state.
Even though Mei Ni is a person who has seen money, he couldn't help but feel excited.
I lost almost everything overnight, but now things are looking up!
A person may be poor, but they must not lose hope.
The wife said that made perfect sense, and now Mini was full of energy.
He pulled out all the stops, trying every trick in the book to undercut Guihuagao's prices. He even used his silver tongue to embellish stories from his time in the capital, adding spice and drama to make it sound like his family held ancient secrets, and this product was just a small taste of their power.
If not, Meniere's may also fear being overmatched.
As it turned out, Meniere was still quite cunning when it came to bragging. He and his wife were even invited into the Temple of Camels' Hump.
It's not often that a wandering merchant is invited into a temple, let alone for the first time.
Now, sales are guaranteed, and no one dares to challenge his ideology.
"Madam! We can now afford the latest model of the Winged Dragon from Camelback!" Menil exclaimed excitedly.
"Honey, look at this one, [Winged Dragon of the Desert Boat], Gold 1 star."
Meini glanced at it, frowned and said: "This card is not good-looking, it's not handsome."
"Honey, its special feature is two storage compartments called camel humps, better than one slot. It's perfect for our trade. When we get back to Neptune, we need to find the Nine Realms villagers immediately."
"Do as you're told!"
"Oh, by the way, someone found me at the flying card market today. They said they were an old friend of yours." Mrs. Menil thought for a moment. "They wanted to see you."
"Not seeing you." Melanie waved her hand.
He still has to plan tomorrow's sales, who has time to see strangers, and besides, he is an exile, where are his old friends to chat with!
If you want to see Menil, of course it's Jeb.
He heard that the cards came from a wandering merchant who claimed to have traveled between the Nine Realms of the Divine Capital, so he began to gather information on the whereabouts of the wandering merchant.
He certainly didn't know Meniere, but he did hear something of the truth in the stories he told.
These all seem like real stories from the capital region, this wandering merchant, doesn't seem like someone from the fringes of society, but rather like someone who has fled from the center to the edge world, just like me!
I don't know where I picked up these expansion pack cards.
Having cleared his mind, Yebu found the wife of the wandering merchant who was out shopping.
Only the madam is very careful, and the traveling merchant himself refuses to see guests.
This worried Jeb greatly.
After some thought.
I simply made up my mind and wrote a threatening letter.
He made it clear that he knew these stories came from the capital area and also knew about the details of the wandering merchant. If he didn't come out to meet, he would report it to the Star God Temple.
Yebu doesn't think it's useful.
But at night, he really met the traveling merchant himself.
What's your name
The wandering merchant before them wore a mask that concealed his face, making it impossible to see his features. Yet Jeb could sense, even so, the aura of power radiating from him.
Gold Card Master!!!
Oh no
"Yes."
"You're quite bold, aren't you" Menier said coldly. "I dare to come and sell goods because, on one hand, I feel that the Camel Peak Star Sector has good law enforcement and I can be safe and sound, on the other..."
"Ugh!" Jeb was engulfed by the yellow sand spell, struggling to breathe.
You entered the duel, location, 【Slums Waterway】: Water is a card ↑
The opponent played the card: [Sand Prison LV4], and the opponent's field [Nihekara Warrior (Rank 9)] is about to attack.
It's actually a fallen noble. He was probably a star master before.
Yebisu's thoughts were quick. If he couldn't convince the other party in three sentences, his next turn would be his last.
But it's okay.
The opponent's deck still comes from the Egyptian civilization. This means this is a member of the royal court, so there's still a chance they can survive.
"Don't attack!! Sir! This osmanthus, something is wrong!!!"
"Oh" McNeil retracted his spell. "You have three words to explain yourself."
Yaren knelt on the ground, gasping for breath: "Firstly, I come from the Central World and I am a Pyramid Craftsman. Secondly, this item's craftsmanship is not right, it surpasses the level of the Third Dynasty Royal Workshop. Thirdly, the other party's expansion pack might have an artisan level far exceeding ours!!"
"Very good, very perceptive." Menier withdrew the warrior card.
The threat hasn't passed, but I have to say, this person is really something. They're bold and decisive.rance. She always dressed up before a fight, but it was inconvenient to use magic when she was completely transformed. Unexpectedly, she got some mud on herself!"Excuse me! I'll go bathe in the river...
