Chapter 14 Where the Stars Are
"Flower City" Zenoulu is one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the country. Because it is also the base camp of the Night Watch Studio and the headquarters of the Star Alliance in the factual sense.
This is one of the few "city never sleeping" in the world. It is naturally a major commercial center in the kingdom.
It is not an exaggeration to describe this kind of place as a matter of money.
The third block - almost one of the most prosperous areas in the city, is located in a small and exquisite store "The Stars". Compared with the gorgeous and fancy shops around it, it is very low-key, and it is the kind that is easily overlooked at first glance.
But unexpectedly, the store is extremely popular, especially at three o'clock every afternoon, there are always many people flocking in.
Because this store belongs to the beautiful craftsman Zhang Wenjie, the youngest great craftsman and the only craftsman in the world who has a 100% success rate to create the secret treasure of Star Treasure.
Almost all of Zhang Wenjie's works were directly monopolized by the alliance and used as strategic equipment. This store is probably the only channel outside the world that may obtain her works.
Therefore, relying solely on Zhang Wenjie's name is enough to ensure the popularity of "Where is the Star".
Of course, Zhang Wenjie, who was born in a wealthy family, would not rely on a store to make money. The main purpose of agreeing to open this store is to sell her disciples' works with the help of the name of a beautiful craftsman, and while earning a considerable income, they can also promote their names.
Of course, works that can be sold in stores have also been recognized by their teachers, so the quality can be guaranteed. This is also the reason why people are flocking to them - even if the works of great creators are not works, they are definitely high-quality props.
Of course, for various reasons, no one is really looking forward to the works of the beautiful craftsman, or...
"Mr. Xiao Ling," a guest grabbed Ling's wise who was decorating the goods for sale today, "Mr. Xiao Ling."
The slightly fat middle-aged man rubbed his hands and smiled: "Is there any master's works today?"
"Wait a moment." Ling Yu responded politely. The man in front of him was indeed a regular customer in the store, but the face-blind Ling Yu still couldn't remember his name, so he simply never called him. As the manager of a store, he was undoubtedly quite dereliction of duty. Fortunately, the "Star Where" does not require him to be very hospitable.
After all the goods were arranged, Ling Yu took out a ring from the last box and carefully placed it on the shelf on the highest floor. What the beautiful craftsman Zhang Wenjie is best at is special effects equipment based on jewelry and decorations.
Suddenly, the entire store was quiet, everyone, including customers, stopped hustling and stared at the ring together. Everyone's eyes were focused on Ling Yiu's hands, and they looked at the ring placed at the highest point of the store as if they were judging.
Then, a breath sounded in the room.
"That's the master's work today?" He whispered in a low voice.
Ling Yu then climbed down the ladder, clapped his hands, tidied up his clothes, and faced the man just now: "This ring of rapid wind and speed is the teacher's work. Unfortunately, the teacher is quite busy recently, so there are not many works released. This is a demonstration item I made when I gave lectures to my senior sisters and the others the day before yesterday."
The fat uncle's eyes lit up and nodded quickly and said, "It's better to be busy, be busy, the master is very skilled, and he shouldn't waste his time on these little things."
The atmosphere in the shop suddenly became lively, and the guests quickly rushed to the display counter, while carefully avoiding the highest counter - the work display cabinet exclusively for the beautiful craftsman Zhang Wenjie.
Ling Yu also started to get busy. Because the store is not big and the products produced are all works by teachers and senior sisters, the output is not high. Xingzhishida basically opens the door every three days, and there are only a dozen pieces of equipment works at a time, so Ling Yu is the only one who really manages this store. Of course, sometimes senior sisters will come to help - usually to sell their works and use it to test their own standards.
The one who came to help today was Senior Sister Rena, because three of this batch of works were from her subordinates.
It is said that it is busy, but in fact it is just to introduce the performance and price of the equipment to the customers. As for selling things, it is not necessary at all. Although they are all works by the teacher's disciples, in Ling Yiu's memory, all the things in this store were always sold out within three hours before dark - except for the teacher's works...
The price will only be raised far higher by competing customers, pre-sale prices, comparable to a small auction - except for the teacher's works...
So although only Ling Yau is the only boy who manages the store, it is not a heavy burden.
After walking around, Lingyu's affairs were basically over. The rest were customers who chose and bid for the bid.
The fat uncle hurriedly came up again and looked at the ring on the highest counter: "Mr. Xiao Ling, you just said that this was the master's demonstration work the day before yesterday, so I don't know your work..." He just looked around and did not find the second ring-like prop.
Generally speaking, Zhang Wenjie's demonstration works focus on principles and do not require disciples to do exactly the same thing - that is, simply imitation rather than creation. As the saying goes, "Those who learn from me live, those who are like me die." Every craftsman has a similar concept. As far as the fat uncle knows, it seems that only Ling Yau can completely imitate the works of the beautiful craftsman 100%.
And today his goal is Ling Yu’s “diction”!
In fact, not only him, but also several other guests around him were secretly pricking their ears and ready to come up to bid at any time.
At this time, Senior Sister Rena came over: "Ling Yu has not produced any works this time, so the teacher's authentic products are here, so it's better to..."
The guests' faces changed drastically and they suddenly dissipated from Ling Yu. Only the fat uncle stayed because he asked the question on his own initiative, so there must be an explanation.
"No, no, no, I can't have the master's works!" Da Shi shook his head with righteousness, and the fat uncle refused harshly.
Senior Sister Rena covered her mouth and chuckled. Of course, she knew why these people were unwilling to buy the teacher's works - in fact, this is no secret.
However, she still complained: "It is because the teacher is not interested in the work, and the teacher is unwilling to continue creating!"
The fat uncle smiled awkwardly: "It's not that we don't want to buy it, it's because the master's works are too high and ordinary people cannot use them at all! Although it's a bit rude, just by the strength of my young master, I can't control such advanced props..."
Senior Sister Rena waved her hand and did not continue to pursue it: "Well, I just said it casually. Anyway, the sales of the store are not something I have to worry about... right, my cute junior brother?" As she said that, she showed a sweet smile to Ling Yu.
Ling Yu had no choice but to smile bitterly. Even if he had negative communication skills, he could see the jokes and gloating in his senior sister's smile.
"Well," he said to the fat uncle, "I will not imitate the teacher's works in the future... So if you need it, please support the authentic one..."
"Hey!!!" As soon as the words finished, a whine sounded around him.
