The Book of Maiden Contract

"Hey, beautiful ladies over there, do you want to hear a story?" In a secluded open manor, there were a few gorgeously dressed young queens, laughing while eating some wine and snacks. They were talking, and at this moment, a handsome young man approached them and greeted them warmly.

"It's you again, what's a good story today?" The ladies obviously were no strangers to this boy, and asked with a smile.

"There are so many stories, but before telling the stories, let me tell the ladies about the dream I had last night..." The young man smiled heartily, "This is a very interesting dream, roughly like this A: Suddenly a thick, big and black snake appeared, then dived into the sea, inserted into the middle of an apple with only half of it like a sharp sword, and then turned into a pistol and fired bullets into it violently. You know that this dream represents what?"

"Ah! What a terrible dream..." The ladies blushed and cursed with a smile.

More than an hour later, through his powerful style and excellent ventriloquism, the boy completely conquered these beautiful ladies who were lonely in his heart, and then walked away happily with a dozen gold coins in his pocket. As for the identity of this boy, of course It's Lin Luo... Oh, don't get me wrong, there is no incongruity in the above content, Lin Luo just told a few humorous pornographic stories, which enriched the spiritual world of a few ladies who don't know what esoteric literature is, so It's just getting the due reward, there is no such thing as a dirty and surnamed transaction.

Now that he has decided to become a puppeteer, Lin Luo will definitely not waste time and carefully study the puppet making manual given to him by the middle-aged man. Although this manual does not have anything particularly eye-catching, it is just some basic methods of making dolls, and of course it also contains some alchemy, which is really not very useful for people who are already puppeteers. But for Lin Luo, a pure newcomer, there is nothing better than this.

The basics, more than anything else, for beginners.

If it is an ordinary person, even if they want to master these basics, it will take a year at the fastest, which is still looking good. But Lin Luo was different. It took him less than a week to master all the basics, and he was even able to draw inferences from one instance to comprehend other experiences.

Although the speed is a little bit against the sky, it is also a matter of course. After all, I used to be a strong man in the sky, and I was a strong man in the outer world in the previous life. Even if the power is gone, the experience and understanding will not disappear. Manufacturing is also a part of alchemy, and whether it is martial arts, magic, or alchemy, many places have the same goal. Therefore, in terms of the speed of progress, even if the master craftsman is compared with him, it is still compared to the bright moon, which is not at the same level at all.

Once the theoretical knowledge is mastered, then the next step is practice. Here, he encountered a hurdle that must be solved no matter what, but it is extremely difficult to solve, that is-money!

Although Lin Luoyiling's ability to support himself is no problem, but it is a bit impractical to use it to make dolls. The most direct problem is the material. No matter how bad the doll is, it still needs material. You can’t make it with air, right?

Then there are the tools. If you want to make an excellent doll, you need professional tools. You can’t do those carvings with fingernails, right? And the most critical issue is that the scarcity of puppeteers nowadays also makes these professional tools scarce, and they are basically not seen in the open market. Except for the black market, of course there are some rich and nobles who have collected them.

Finally, there is the place. Making dolls requires concentration and is most afraid of being interrupted. A quiet and empty place is also essential.

To sum it up, Lin Luo seems to be making rapid progress, but in fact he is struggling at every step. In a word, no matter what you do, if you want to start from scratch, it is far from being able to do it with a single resolution.

You can't steal, you can't rob, and you don't have any business sense. Apart from other things, just wanting to buy the materials for making dolls is already an astronomical figure for Lin Luo now.

And this also made Lin Luo indirectly understand why there are so many puppeteers who sell the dolls they make to rich people, because they need money! Without enough money to support them, how could they make their ideal dolls? After all, in the manufacturing process of dolls, there are absolutely countless materials wasted.

This does not require practice at all, Lin Luo can know it.

Fortunately, although Lin Luo didn't have a business mind, after a period of careful research, he still found a way to come... It was the lady who had nothing to do all day long and only knew how to enjoy flowers and chat.

These ladies have a lot of spare money in their hands, but their spiritual world is extremely empty. As long as they like it, it is not difficult to get some money from them, such as the colorful story of Lin Luo... a man A man can bend and stretch, and there is no shame in doing this kind of thing.

In fact, Lin Luo is still a bit frugal. After all, with his appearance and eloquence, if he is willing to sell his body to have sex with these ladies, the money he can get will definitely be ten times or a hundred times more than his storytelling, or even directly. It is not difficult to wait for materials and tools to be delivered to the door, after all, several lonely ladies have winked at him.

It's just that he still doesn't bother to do this kind of thing after all. It's a completely different concept from telling stories to make money.

Holding dozens of gold coins, plus the money he earned in the past few days, Lin Luo was finally able to buy the first batch of materials for making dolls, so he immediately rushed to the shop that had been discussed earlier. As for the tools, because one of the ladies who listened to the story had the tools of the puppeteer in his collection, he had already taken them down with his rhetoric. If you are looking for something on the Internet and go to the black market to buy it, it is not a small sum, so it is barely enough.

As for the final studio, this is not a problem, it has been prepared as early as a few days ago.

Then, like this, he set off to the store, and after more than half an hour of bargaining, until the shopkeeper's face was almost green, Lin Luo was finally satisfied and walked towards the four residences with four large wooden frames in his hands... Fortunately, these The material is not very heavy, otherwise he might not be able to carry it back by himself, but even so, it is quite difficult for him to move it.

Lin Luo lives near a slum. Although the environment is a bit poor, it is relatively quiet, and the most important thing is that the price is cheap. No matter what he does now, the first thing he considers is money... It's vulgar!

In fact, living in this kind of place, he was a little worried at first. After all, people living in the slums inevitably have a few hobs. If someone wants to make money, he is really not sure how to deal with it now. Fortunately, the law and order in this city is not bad, and he has also carefully observed for a few days. He has calculated in detail the escape routes and life-saving measures... Basically, as long as it is not the entire riot in the slums, or If God wants to kill him, there is no problem.

"Huh?" Carrying a few big boxes, he finally came to the door of a two-storey bungalow. Just as Lin Luo put down the boxes and was about to take a rest before going upstairs, he found a scruffy man squatting in the corner next to him. The young man looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, his clothes were torn, his face was covered with mud, and his golden hair, which should have been beautiful, was curly and messy, quite dirty.

How did the kid from the slums come here?

Lin Luo knew at a glance that this kid was a resident of the "next door", and muttered to himself, but he ignored him for a moment, and squatted down to carry the box... There are so many beggars in the world, even if you save one, you can't save them all. He is not a savior, even if he is very pitiful, but now that he can't even guarantee his own future, he has no time to help others.

It's just that when he was picking up the box and was about to go upstairs, the young man raised his head. Unlike his slovenly appearance, he unexpectedly had a pair of clear eyes, as bright as the spring water in an ancient well, looking very comfortable and making him feel comfortable. Lin Luo couldn't help but feel a little sideways.

Forget it, the rare encounter is also a kind of fate, anyway, he can't take much money from me, so he will just buy it.

"Hey, kid, take it." Lin Luo walked up to the boy immediately, and handed over the two boxes in his hand.

The boy was probably used to being called around, so he stood up and took it reflexively.

Lin Luo picked up the other two boxes and went upstairs, only took a few steps, and found that the boy was still standing there, with a silly expression on his face, and suddenly said loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze? Come up!"

The young man seemed to understand something suddenly, his eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly followed with the box.

After a while, I went to the second floor and opened the door. Inside was an empty room with almost nothing except a table and a cabinet. After Lin Luo entered the room, he unpacked the box and said without turning his head: "Go to the bathroom next to you and take a shower. There are some changes of clothes in it, and then come out to see me."

The boy didn't speak, just nodded, then put down the box and walked into the next room, and then there was the sound of splashing water from inside.

She's not a girl, of course Lin Luo wouldn't pay attention to it, she just focused on unpacking the box and taking out the materials inside.

The material is very light but still strong, but for the sake of safety, Lin Luo still took it carefully, for fear that it would cost a lot of money if it was broken, and then I don’t know how long it took, just as he took out all the materials intact Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

"Master, I'm done washing."

"Well, you wait there first... Eh?" Lin Luo said something casually, but halfway through the sentence he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Strange, the one I led up just now should be a boy, why is this a girl's voice?

Lin Luo turned his head immediately, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
