Chapter 2155 Coach, I Want To...

At this dinner, both parties enjoyed themselves as guest and host, and the atmosphere of exchanging pleasantries was very good.

For such a small rural aristocrat, Xu Yue could dismiss him casually.

His main concern was Lin Lei, who was trying his best to be meticulous, but was still a little embarrassed and reserved.

It can be seen that this kid usually trains very hard. Although he is only eight years old, he looks almost eleven or twelve years old.

Because of the weak Qinglong bloodline in his body, except for practicing the exclusive secret book after the blood concentration reaches the standard, ordinary fighting qi cannot be practiced, but even so, he is still working hard to change the family.

It has to be said that Lin Lei, who has not picked up the Coiling Dragon Ring yet, apart from his hard work, his mental talent can be said to be beyond ordinary people.

The blood of the dragon-blood warrior in the body is thin, so he cannot practice the family secret code, nor can he practice the ordinary fighting spirit secret code, so he can only keep polishing his body.

"Mr. Xu Yue, please take a look. This is my favorite work. It's called 'The Lion'. It's already a pretty good collection in a nearby town. I wonder what you think of it."

After the meal, Hogg motioned to Hillman and took out the best sculpture collection he had now, hoping to use it to test the level of the young man in front of him and see if he was a real one. carver.

Then I saw Hillman, who had been prepared for a long time. Relying on his strength as a sixth-level warrior, he moved a stone lion sculpture to the hall and lowered it gently.

This is a precious sculpture worth thousands of gold coins. Although it cannot be compared with those sculptures crafted by masters that cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins, it can indeed be called a masterpiece.

It's a pity that due to the embarrassing dilemma of the family's lack of money, Hogg has recently had the idea of ​​​​finding a seller to sell this sculpture. However, in such a hurry to exchange money, it is difficult to afford the price of selling this kind of collection, and the price is even halved. Maybe, so I'm still hesitating now.

"It should be a finished product that a master who has been studying carving for decades spent one or two years carefully carving. It is normally worth more than a thousand gold coins."

Xu Yue glanced at the carving called the 'Lion' and said casually.

Xiao Lin Lei next to him heard a flash of light in his eyes. This sculpture was actually worth more than a thousand gold coins!

If you learn how to carve, you can greatly alleviate your family's current situation, right?

This idea,

Exactly the same as his father back then.

Lin Lei is not a protagonist in the time-travel and rebirth genre, so he is indeed just an eight-year-old kid now, but compared to other naughty kids of the same age, he needs more directors.

"But the old craftsman didn't have much talent. He just relied on a lot of time to develop a skilled hand. Overall, the craftsmanship is too heavy, too rigid, and has no charm. Otherwise, the value of this kind of carving method would not be a problem. .”

After finishing, Xu Yue also gave his own evaluation.

"This..., what you said is easier said than done."

Hog Baruch smiled awkwardly. For his level and level, it would be great to be able to collect high-quality collections of this level. Shen Yun and the like were really too far away.

"If you don't mind it, I can help you make some changes. The overall knife skills are up to standard. You only need to change a few details, so it's not troublesome."

Xu Yue said very calmly.

This made Hogg a little embarrassed. They meant well, but did they agree or disagree?

This kind of stone carving is already very rare for me. If the other party is a mediocre person who likes to boast and talk, the price of the stone carving will probably drop.

For families who have already tightened their belts, this is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

But rejecting the other party's kindness conflicts with your original intention of inviting the other party to dinner. What should I do?

Facing Hogg who fell into silence for a short time, Xu Yue had no intention of urging him. He just drank tea and continued to observe Lin Lei with interest, analyzing the fluctuations in his now extremely weak soul.

Tsk tsk~ It’s this guy who has survived multiple soul mutations.

Let's not talk about multiple attributes, let's just say that dual-attribute soul mutations are rare, and the probability is terrifyingly small. Each additional type of job will exponentially increase the difficulty, but he was stunned to survive it. It is really enviable.

"Okay, please excuse me, Mr. Xu Yue."

After thinking for a while, Hogg finally made a decision.

Although the other party is very young, he can see the price, advantages and disadvantages of the stone carvings at a glance, and his eyesight is obviously enough. Since he just opened his mouth, he is somewhat sure, right?

He himself only said that it was a minor modification, and even if there was an accident, the price impact would be acceptable.

And after building a closer relationship through this, you will be able to bring up the matter of borrowing money from the other party smoothly, right?

Well, in fact, another reason why Hogg invited Xu Yue over this time was to see if he could get closer to him and see if he could lend him a sum of money first.

After all, the other party can easily take out 300 gold coins to buy a house, so there must be more than enough money left in his hand, right? Anyway, the consumption in this small town is low. If you just collect the money, you won't need it in a short time. It's better to lend it to yourself first and pay it back after the taxes come up.

Otherwise, this ‘fierce lion’ will really be sold at a low price.

"It's easy to say, let's consider it as a reward for your banquet."

Xu Yue didn't hesitate, stood up and took out a carving knife.

After seeing Xu Yue carrying the carving knife with him, Hogg gained a little more confidence in him.

However, when Xu Yue just started to drop the knife on the stone lion's eyes, a fierce and wild beast's breath rushed towards his face.

Hillman and Hogg both felt chills standing on end at the same time, as if they were being targeted by ancient monsters!

Linley and Wharton were even shivering inexplicably under this aura.

After a daze, they discovered that Xu Yue had finished carving.

When I looked back and saw the 'fierce lion' stone sculpture, I found that this stone sculpture that was originally dead seemed to have come to life!

It looks like a real lion monster!

In particular, those eyes seemed to have been injected with soul, as if the wildness and ferocity that flashed at the beginning were sealed in them and could not be released.

This restrained vitality elevates the artistic conception of the stone lions to several levels!

"Master Sculptor!"

Hogg said in horror, his voice breaking and becoming sharp due to his emotional excitement.

Even Hillman's expression changed drastically.

He may not have the same appreciation as Hogg, but the stone carving in front of him has reached a level where ordinary people can easily see its perfection without appreciation.

After hearing Hogg's words, he also knew that although the other party only made a few random cuts, the value of the stone sculpture increased tenfold or even a hundredfold!

Incredible!

"That's because the original master's skills were in place, but he lacked charm, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to modify."

Xu Yue, who had already put away the knife, said casually.

"Mr. Xu Yue, can I learn sculpture from you?"

At this moment, the clever Lin Lei ran to Xu Yue and looked at Xu Yue eagerly. The child's innocent and flickering eyes were full of expectation.

He simply wanted to help his father. If the stone sculptures he carved could be sold for money, his father would be very happy.

"Oh? If you are willing to learn, you can come to me when you have time. How much you can learn depends on your talent."

Xu Yue answered readily.

Tsk~, it’s not just to make some connections, and there’s no need for me to make it so complicated.

Since it's not convenient to teach you enlightenment in combat, let's teach you some art and philosophy.

Anyway, Lin Lei's training is still to continuously polish his body. It will not have any impact if he does some art study to cultivate relaxation during his rest time...
