...
Shen Fan and Zhao Qingyan were currently in the old village chief's yard, sitting at a carving table with a knife and carefully carving small animal wood carvings. Facing a pile of discarded wood beside the workbench, this was The wood carvings that Shen Fan and Zhao Qingyan had failed to carve were left behind, but the wood carvings that were successfully carved were placed on the workbench. The two of them together only had a dozen, but they had already been carving for more than three hours.
"When will the village chief be able to carve this?" Shen Fan casually threw a piece of wood that had failed to be carved aside and asked anxiously to the old village chief who was sitting with his eyes closed and concentrating.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, take your time and have a good attitude! If you don't have enough wood, go to the black wood forest outside the village to see some good black wood and come back to make materials!"
"..."
After the first day passed, Shen Fan and Zhao Qingyan devoted themselves to carving. When there was not enough material, Shen Fan went to the black wood forest to cut down two adult black trees and carry them back to make materials. The wood carvings and discarded wood were All of them were used as firewood by the old village chief, which made Shen Fan wonder if the old village chief was playing a trick on them.
However, after a day of continuous hard work, Shen Fan and Zhao Qingyan's carving skills finally reached the primary stage. Shen Fan thought it was over, but the old village chief asked them to start carving stone, using very hard stone. Black jade is an extremely hard stone that looks like jade, and the carving tool is still the ordinary knife used to carve wood carvings.
During this time, Shen Fan asked the old village chief if he could give up this mission and go to the main city, but he was rejected by the old village chief. So Shen Fan could only contact Liu Wei, Wang Qian and the others and told him that he could not leave Yuhu Village for the time being. Let them do the task of spawning monsters and upgrading first.
Stone carving is far more difficult than wood carving, and the tools used are still so simple and ordinary. It took Shen Fan two or three hours to carve a stone carving that was just right, while Zhao Qingyan spent more than four hours to carve one. , because the speed is slow and the material of black jade is relatively special. Although it is difficult to carve, the failure rate is not high.
Time passed day by day. Shen Fan and Zhao Qingyan devoted themselves wholeheartedly to carving. During this period, players who had transferred jobs came to the old village chief to teleport to the main city. Group after group came, and many of them were interested in Shen. The two Fans were very curious and asked Shen Fan and the others many times. When they finally left, they selected and took away some of the more and more exquisite stone carvings carved by Shen Fan and Zhao Qingyan.
On the thirteenth day, Shen Fan and Zhao Qingyan upgraded their carving skills to the intermediate level one after another. This made the two people who persisted for more than ten days hug happily, and then happily went to Cuiyu Lake to find the fisherman who went fishing. The old village chief.
"Village Chief, we have upgraded our carving skills to the intermediate level. When will you let us leave?"
Because of this mysterious mission, Shen Fan and Zhao Qingyan have been in Yuhu Village for thirteen days. Currently, some of the players who have left Novice Village have been upgraded to level 17. Even Blood Wolf, Liu Wei and the others have basically reached level 15. , and they are still staying in Novice Village.
"Go find two pieces of fishing gear and come over and fish with me." The old village chief sat cross-legged quietly, holding the fishing rod and looking at the surface of Cuiyu Lake motionless.
Seeing this, Shen Fan could only helplessly take Zhao Qingyan to rent a bronze fishing gear, sit next to the old village chief and fish with him.
"Your hearts have been unable to calm down, and you will not be able to fulfill my request." After Shen Fan and Zhao Qingyan sat down and slowly calmed down to fish, the old village chief finally said.
"Village Chief, we still have a lot of things to do behind us, and our friends have been waiting for us in the main city." Zhao Qingyan explained.
"I know, you should put down those things first, get rid of all the troubles in your heart, and enjoy the tranquility now." The old village chief began to guide Shen Fan and Zhao Qingyan, and his voice seemed to have a special charm. , can make people enter a strange state very easily.
"Carefully feel the changes around you, little by little, from near to far, and try to integrate yourself into them."
Shen Fan followed the old village chief's guidance and slowly felt everything. First, the breeze from Yuhu Lake stirred up ripples. Shen Fan felt like the wind, leisurely and a little naughty, paddling across the lake. From time to time, he used his own His body touched the calm lake surface.
Looking at the fish floating up and playing in the clear lake water from time to time, I can play freely like them; then there are the old people walking leisurely by the lake, relaxed and happy, without worries, walking slowly by the beautiful lake , chatting about their favorite topics, Shen Fan felt that he seemed to be one of them.
There are also blue skies and white clouds, big trees standing on the ground that remain unmoving despite the weather, and birds singing freely in the forest...
Everything seems to have its own existence, as if it is one of them, but it is not!
...
The old village chief looked at the changes in the expressions of Shen Fan and Zhao Qingyan and felt their state. He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and kept stroking his long white beard.
That kind of selfless artistic conception made Shen Fan and Zhao Qingyan unable to feel the passage of time. They selflessly blended into the world, feeling everything without getting lost in it, until they felt that they had reached the edge of the endless horizon. That's when I woke up!
"this......"
Shen Fan and Zhao Qingyan looked at each other, and they could see each other's shock in their eyes. The wonderful feeling just now was really incredible!
"Hahaha! Okay! You all feel it, right?" the old village chief smiled with great satisfaction.
"Yeah! That feels so amazing!" Both of them nodded sharply in response.
"Very good, next, I want you to incorporate what you just experienced into the carving! The two of you will work together to complete a black jade carving for me!" The old village chief directly issued the next task requirements.
"clear!"
Treat yourself as the thing you want to carve, or as one of them. Carving means creating a new life and a new world. You must integrate yourself into it and treat everything as a living existence.
After Shen Fan and Zhao Qingyan returned to the village chief's yard, they adjusted their mentality, moved in a huge black jade rock with a diameter of more than one meter, and began to carve it.
During this carving, both of them seemed to have entered a state of selflessness, and began to use the knife to carve the world in their hearts bit by bit. The things they carved were not themselves but themselves, and they completely integrated themselves into it, creating a new life. world.
It lasted for nearly two days, and the two of them actually relied on the nutrient solution in the game warehouse to maintain their bodies. During this period, Wang Qian wanted them to quit and rest many times, but Shen Fan and Zhao Qingyan refused.
In the afternoon of the fifteenth day, after Shen Fan used a knife on the black jade rock to cut the veins on the leaves of a big tree, he and Zhao Qingyan finally received a notification from the system.
"Ding~"

"Hahaha! Very good. You really lived up to my expectations and even exceeded them! Then this is what you deserve. I hope you can continue to work hard in the future!"
When the old village chief saw the exquisite carving of the Yuhu Lake scene on the workbench, it was obvious that it was not only the exquisite carving technique, but the most important thing was the business revealed in it. The old village chief waved to the two of them with great satisfaction, and two rays of light merged into the bodies of Shen Fan and Zhao Qingyan.
