Devil Fruit of the City

After returning to the room, Tang Tianyou lay on the bed, thinking constantly in his mind, how should he get the first pot of gold in life?

Is he going to do business?

Although most businessmen were born in business, successful businessmen need excellent vision and a sensitive grasp of timing. These two abilities are indispensable, otherwise they will only lose money.

What's more, he is now a senior high school student who is about to take the college entrance examination, and he doesn't have much time to do business, so doing business is not a good choice.

It seems that we need to find some quick ways to earn money. Tang Tianyou thought about it. Buying lottery tickets may be a good choice, but the chance of winning the lottery is too low. Winning the five million jackpot requires unnatural luck. None are safe.  Urban Devil Fruit 50

In other words, gambling, Tang Tianyou came up with this idea again!

But ten bets and nine cheats, he is not a genius with amazing gambling skills, it is estimated that if he invests money, he will get a lot of nothing.

Therefore, gambling is not as good as robbing this promising job, and with a professional counterpart, if Tang Tianyou makes a move, it is estimated that few people will be able to escape, and it is guaranteed to hit every shot.

However, although he can easily do this kind of thing, and he doesn't have the slightest rejection of robbing, after all, Whitebeard is a big pirate, and killing people to seize treasure is commonplace. Tang Tianyou, who inherited Whitebeard's memory, how could it be possible? Feeling repulsed by these things?

But he only makes money to help his parents reduce the burden on the family. If it is all shady money and cannot be used at all, then it will not help his parents very much.

After thinking for a long time, Tang Tianyou couldn't figure out a clue, nor did he find a good way to make money. After a long time, he sighed and thought to himself: "It's really hard to make money! It seems that I'd better go into Whitebeard's memory first, and see if I can find some useful help in it."

...

The memories in my mind, like a movie, kept flashing in front of my eyes, and I don't know how long it took, Tang Tianyou suddenly let out a breath, with a happy smile on his face.

He finally found a way to make money!

Everyone who sees White Beard at the first sight will think that he is extremely brave, restless, heroic and indomitable hero, and an absolute martial artist.

However, what few people know is that White Beard also has a delicate side. He is not a reckless man who blindly believes in power, but in fact he is also a great artist.

However, what he is good at is not art such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and poetry, but an art that has been passed down from ancient times and has never changed - stone carving!

So what is stone carving?

The shape, texture, texture, and color of the stone contain not only the specific image, but also the beauty itself. Use a carving knife to cut off the excess part of the stubborn stone, so that the beautiful image in it will be exposed and displayed naturally.

This is the stone carving!

From ancient times to the present, among countless art forms, probably none of them can be older than stone carvings, and none of them can express people's emotions better than stone carvings. This has also made stone carvings flourish for countless years. decline.

For White Beard, the art of stone carving, after countless years of precipitation and training, can definitely be called a master-level figure, and has already reached the state of perfection!

Several pieces of stone sculptures he had created were accidentally circulated on the market at one time, which immediately aroused the exclamation of the world. These works have been auctioned at least hundreds of millions of Baileys on the black market!

Of course, the reason why White Beard likes stone carving is not so simple. During a boring voyage, White Beard carved the stone in his hand very bored, but inadvertently, he suddenly found pleasantly surprised: Carving stone can actually improve his body. mental power!  Urban Devil Fruit 50

In the world of One Piece, many people know that the only way to exercise mental strength is meditation!

However, after meditation exercise, the whole person will be very tired, because meditation exercise is to continuously use mental power, consume it to a bottom line, and then let the mental power recover by itself, which will lead to a sense of fatigue on the person, and the efficiency of mental power exercise will be reduced. become very low.

However, the sculpting method created by Whitebeard himself is different. It has completely gone to an extreme. In the early stage of sculpting, it may take energy and sweat profusely, but in the middle and late stages, the effect of exercise is very good.

This is a method that can be called a secret technique!

The reason why Whitebeard became the strongest in the world was largely due to this unique training method!

More importantly, stone carvings are very expensive works of art, especially famous stone carvings, the value contained in them is immeasurable, which is in line with Tang Tianyou's idea of ​​making money.

It is said that a sculpture "Birds in the Air" by the sculptor Brancusi was sold for US$27.45 million at Christie's auction house in New York, setting a record for the highest price in the world for sculpture auctions!

Although "Birds in the Air" is a special case among stone sculptures, even some common stone sculptures may cost tens of thousands of yuan, which is extremely expensive!

It can be said that in this world, stone carving is a very lucrative job.

"If I learn how to carve stones, I can not only sell the carved works, but also exercise them. It really kills two birds with one stone!" Tang Tianyou thought happily.

...

In the morning, in the park.

Tang Tianyou was holding a flat knife bought from a store in his hand, and was concentrating on looking at this palm-sized stone that he had just picked up from the mountain.

"Start from the basics, let's use this small stone to practice first..."

When it comes to carving, stone carving is the most difficult. It is because the stone is hard and it is very difficult to carve, and it has to form a unique charm, so the difficulty of carving is even greater, but the more difficult it is, the more successful the work will be. It also becomes more precious.

The general stone carving method requires many tools, such as: round knife, flat knife, oblique knife, triangular knife, jade bowl knife, axe, saw... and many other tools. The reason why there are so many tools is also the reason why the stone itself is relatively hard. They will use round knives to arrange, flat knives to cut, triangular knives to polish and so on.

However, Baibeard's engraving method is different from everyone else's, because his engraving method only uses one tool - a flat knife, so Baibeard's engraving method is called "Pingdao style"!

The Pingdao style has very high requirements for skills, and it pays attention to flowing clouds and flowing water, and it can be done in one go. There is no room for a pause in the middle, because as long as you pause for a while, it will destroy the overall beauty and fluency of the work.

However, the hardness of each part of the stone is different. As long as the strength of your carving is slightly different, your wrist strength will be insufficient, which will cause you to be unable to grasp the precision and smoothness of the carving, thus damaging the stone.

Therefore, ordinary people simply cannot master such profound skills.

Some people say, how to carve with a flat knife alone? For example, the scales of fish scales, how can you carve them with a flat knife? Is this impossible?

However, Tang Tianyou is different from Whitebeard. They both have the ability to vibrate at will, and can completely feel the internal structure of the stone, and then use the ability to vibrate to perform the most subtle manipulation to carve the parts they want Clear them all.  Urban Devil Fruit 50

It can be said that the carving skill of Ping Dao Liu was born for Tang Tianyou. Of course, this does not mean that he can learn carving well if he has a special talent. Afterwards, he will have to practice a lot before he can master these skills. .

Fortunately, Tang Tianyou has the engraving memory of Baibeard's life, and he has accepted the experience of Baibeard's life like a revelation, so he doesn't need to learn from scratch like a beginner, he only needs a little practice to be able to sculpt Produce a good work.
