Chapter 121 The prototype of apprentice production
"This is a prototype made by the inscription apprentice. It can only be used for viewing and has no effect." Seeing that the girl couldn't believe it, the shopkeeper quickly explained.
"Prototype? That's great!" Not only was the girl not disappointed, she was actually pleasantly surprised and even very excited.
This girl's name is Mai Ying, and she is a registered disciple of Master Yin Jian.
With mediocre qualifications, she studied inscriptions with Yin Jian for three years but failed to learn any skills.
Yin Jian was extremely disappointed with her, so he gave her one last test.
If she passes the test, she can continue to learn inscriptions from Yin Jian.
If she fails to pass the test, she will be expelled from the school by Yin Jian.
The content of the test is to make a prototype of an inscription talisman.
The threshold for inscriptions is extremely high, and even making a prototype of an inscription talisman is very difficult.
Mai Ying tried many times, but was still unable to make a prototype of the inscription talisman, and had to give up in the end.
When she was desperate, she happened to pass by this shop and saw this inscription charm on sale.
She was just curious about the price of the inscription talisman, so she went to ask.
Only after asking this question did I know that it turned out to be the prototype of an inscription talisman.
When she heard the news, she was as excited as if she had won a grand prize.
Because as long as she buys the prototype of this inscription talisman, she can take it back and hand it over.
"Shopkeeper, I'll buy one." Mai Ying was overjoyed and paid for one of the inscription talismans.
…
Shortly after Mai Ying left the grocery store, a tall young man with a long sword on his back arrived.
This young man's eyes were cold and determined, and his body was covered with scars. He had obviously experienced countless life-and-death battles. His aura was very strong, and he had obviously reached the level of a sixth-level warrior.
"What do you need to buy?" the shopkeeper asked respectfully.
"This inscription talisman only costs one thousand gold coins?" the young man asked with curiosity on his face.
The shopkeeper smiled politely and repeated what he had just said to Mai Ying to the young man.
"Is it just a prototype?" The young man was a little disappointed, but he still picked up the inscription talisman to check it out.
While inspecting it, the young man poured his energy into the inscription talisman, and then his eyes widened suddenly, his pupils contracted inward, and his eyes were full of surprise.
After a while, the young man looked at the shopkeeper solemnly: "Are you sure this is really the prototype of the inscription talisman made by the apprentice?"
The shopkeeper was a little confused, but still nodded: "Yes."
The young man did not speak anymore, but lowered his head and pondered.
The young man's name is Pang Guang, and he is a disciple recruited by the Yun family.
In the early years, he had learned inscription from the inscription master of Yunmen, but due to talent issues, he was not able to become an inscription master in the end.
But even so, he could still barely identify the difference between the prototype of the inscription talisman and the semi-finished product.
Although the inscription talisman in front of him was sold as a prototype by the shopkeeper, he knew very well that it was not a prototype at all, but a semi-finished product!
Recently, the Yun family's guard commander resigned and returned to his hometown to retire, and the position of guard commander was absent. Therefore, the Yun family held a selection contest to select outstanding talents to serve as guard commanders.
Pang Guang passed all the way and managed to hold on until the last round, but tomorrow's opponent is too strong, and his hope of winning is very slim.
Seeing that the finals of the selection competition were coming, he had no way to deal with it, so he could only use the inscription talisman to quickly improve his strength.
If the weapon can be inscribed before the finals, the combat effectiveness can be improved to some extent, and the chance of winning will be greater.
Even if it is a semi-finished product, it is better than nothing.
Moreover, the money he had on him was not enough to buy a finished inscription talisman.
The semi-finished product in front of you can be purchased for the price of a prototype.
This is simply a bargain. What reason does he have for not buying it?
Thinking of this, Pang Guang did not hesitate to pay for the remaining inscription talisman.
…
The next day.
Mai Ying was overjoyed to enter the Inscription Masters Guild and went straight to Yin Jian's teaching room.
As one of the few inscription masters in Yuzhou City, Yin Jian naturally joined the Inscription Masters Guild and held the position of exclusive inscription master for the guild.
It is precisely because of this that Yin Jian also has his own teaching room in the Inscription Masters Guild.
When Mai Ying came to Yin Jian's teaching room, there were already four teenagers sitting in the teaching room, all around sixteen or seventeen years old, and they were obviously Yin Jian's disciples.
As soon as Mai Ying walked into the teaching room, several teenagers looked at her in unison, their eyes filled with unconcealable disdain.
"Hey, isn't this Mai Ying? She has learned nothing after three years of study. She can't even make the prototype of Zhang Ming's talisman, and she actually dares to come back and embarrass herself!"
"I haven't been able to make a prototype of the inscription talisman this time, but I'm going to be expelled from the school. Have you made it yet?"
"How could she possibly make a prototype? She can only make a model at most, hahaha!"
Several teenagers used sinister tones and taunted him unscrupulously.
Mai Ying snorted angrily and sat back in her seat, ignoring the teenagers.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in robe strolled into the teaching room.
This middle-aged aura is very powerful, and he has obviously reached the level of a martial artist. He is none other than Yin Jian, the exclusive inscription master of the Inscription Masters Guild.
After Yin Jian walked into the teaching room, he came to the stage and said to the five disciples: "Send in the prototypes you made."
The four teenagers all handed in the prototypes of the inscriptions they had made, and then looked at Mai Ying with playful eyes, as if they were expecting Mai Ying to make a fool of herself.
After the four teenagers all handed in their submissions, Yin Jian looked at Mai Ying with a look of dismay: "Where is the prototype you made?"
Mai Ying immediately took out the inscription talisman made by Lin Yun and strolled towards the stage.
Several young people in the audience looked surprised.
"What's going on with this little girl? Has she really made a prototype?"
"Impossible! She doesn't have that level. This is definitely just a model!"
Amid the questioning looks of several teenagers, Mai Ying handed the inscription talisman in her hand to Yin Jian.
After receiving the inscription talisman, Yin Jian immediately input his vitality into the inscription talisman.
At that moment, he felt as if he had been electrocuted. His eyes suddenly opened wide, his pupils kept shrinking inward, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
The expression on his face also changed from clear to cloudy, from shock, to doubt, to shock, several times in a row.
In the end, his whole body was frozen in place like stone, and he didn't respond for a long time.
Mai Ying showed a blank expression, completely unaware of what was happening, and thought Yin Jian was shocked that she could make a prototype.
Several young people in the audience also looked confused and had no idea what was going on.
After a while, Yin Jiancai held the inscribed talisman in his hand as if he had found a treasure, loving it like a mother caring for her baby.
"It's incredible... It's incredible that there is such a perfect inscription talisman in the world! I, Yin Jian, have lived most of my life, but I have really lived in vain!"
After hearing Yin Jian's words, everyone was completely dumbfounded.
Perfect?
what is happening?
Why did Master suddenly talk like crazy?
Could it be that you didn't take your medicine this morning?
