Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 501

It has been a while since the father and daughter of the Lian family settled in Luanfeng City, and Lian Xin chose to enter the security team of Luanfeng City to help manage the security issues.

After all, he had done this work in the village before, and it is the same now, but the scale has been expanded a little, and Lian Xin has a certain experience base to manage it with ease.

And Lian Xinyue wholeheartedly followed Shen Zhenxin to learn the Qimen puppet art.

This kind of systematic learning is much more flexible than the simple spiritual imprint that Lian Xinyue figured out.

She once showed Yan Xuelan the movements of the handmade puppets she made, which were relatively flexible. In fact, that one was the limit that Lian Xinyue could manipulate at that time. It could be perfect without affecting her own state. control.

But for a person who has practiced puppetry, a puppet is really of little use unless it is a particularly powerful individual.

Therefore, there are many directions for practicing puppet art, among which there are two main schools, one is the legion school, and the other is the individual school.

As the name suggests, the legion style is to use a large number of puppets to use human sea tactics to deal with the enemy. The individual strength of each puppet does not need to be strong, and it can completely kill the opponent slowly. Of course, if there are special things, For example, various props that can explode, or poisons, narcotics, etc., arrows, crossbows, etc. hidden inside the puppet can be used to trick people.

The individual stream is very easy to explain. It takes the opposite path to the legion stream. The puppet master does not manufacture puppets on a large scale, but specializes in one or even a few puppets, making them with good materials, and making them They are constantly updated to make their strength stronger and stronger, and even make the puppets no less powerful than ordinary powerful warriors.

However, whether it is the legion stream or the individual stream, or any miscellaneous ways, they all have a common characteristic that burns money.

And this money burning is more time consuming than refining the elixir.

Refining elixir requires a variety of herbs. Although it needs to be purchased in large quantities, it can also quickly pay back.

For example, the most basic herbs can be made into the simplest Huixue powder, Huiqi powder and the like have a large market. Although they are basic herbs, the demand is still relatively large.

But puppetry is different. Apprentices who have just learned puppetry can make small puppets that can be regarded as toys at best, and they can’t operate on their own. They either need human hands to control them, or they need the spiritual imprint of the puppeteer. to guide the control.

Not much practical significance.

Low-level elixirs are still useful, but they are not necessary for low-level puppet team warriors.

It can be said that unless the puppet art has been cultivated to a certain level, it will be difficult for the puppet master to make back his money.

But no puppet master would think about getting his money back.

Because their cost will further increase with the growth of their cultivation and the deepening of their understanding of puppetry.

You can't always keep your puppets in one posture, but learn to actively update them so that your puppets can always be kept in the best condition.

Material costs, maintenance costs and the like are indispensable.

If it was the previous Lian Xinyue's family background, it would be perfect to be able to use the simplest wood, stone, ore, and these are the more common materials she can find near the small village.

After becoming a teacher, she was able to get in touch with more materials, some of which were provided by her master Shen Zhenxin, and some of them were provided by Yan Xuelan.

Lian Xinyue doesn't have to worry about the materials at all, as long as she dares to refine, the materials will naturally be provided.

It doesn't matter whether you fail or not, you can't get out of a pile of waste no matter how you practice.

After such a period of study, Lian Xinyue has prepared three puppets as her first contribution to Yan Xuelan's sect.

She just showed Shen Zhenxin a look after her own independent design, and came to see Yan Xuelan without any obvious problems.

As for why Shen Zhenxin didn't propose any amendments?It's all because Lian Xinyue didn't make any technical mistakes.

If it is a mistake in this area, Shen Zhenxin will point it out immediately and ask Lian Xinyue to correct it. As for the effect of this puppet from his point of view, whether it is good or not, Shen Zhenxin will not answer questions such as whether it needs to be improved. of.

Unlike other teachers who teach puppetry, Shen Zhenxin is said to be weird, and it is also an important reason why he has not found a suitable apprentice for so many years.

Because under normal circumstances, a teacher who practices puppet art will teach his disciples little by little, and will conduct detailed inspections on the puppets made by his disciples, how to do them, and how to modify them. It can be said that he will make a complete mold and then let his disciples To make up for it, after this type of puppet is proficient, he will start to learn the second one, and so on. After he has mastered most of the common puppets making methods proficiently, he can start to learn the various methods passed down by his master. There are all kinds of unique puppets, and when they have learned enough, they can become teachers, and then they can try to design their own puppets.

This is a journey that most warriors who have learned the puppetry technique need to go through in their lifetime.

It's just that Shen Zhenxin believes that this will not teach a good apprentice, but will limit the apprentice's performance.

In Shen Zhenxin's view, what is needed to learn puppet art is not super talent, but patience and ideas.

He himself is not a talented player, and among the people who learned puppetry with him, his aptitude is only moderate.

But now it is Shen Zhenxin's achievements that are the most outstanding.

The reason is that Shen Zhenxin is diligent enough, and his teacher did not teach him personally, but let Shen Zhenxin let go of his hands and feet to design, produce, and then think on his own to solve various problems that may arise.

This allows many seemingly unconstrained designs to be realized.

Although step-by-step education can be simple and quick, it often fails to exercise the brains of apprentices and improve their creativity.

On the contrary, it will limit their thinking, because they are used to following the teacher's teachings and constantly improving the puppets they already know how to make. Later, as the functions reach the extreme, they can only make breakthroughs and progress in materials .

There is not much help for the attainments of puppetry.

Shen Zhenxin believes that without creativity, a puppeteer has no soul.

Puppetry is the hard work of every puppet master and the crystallization of their wisdom. It is precisely because everyone has different ideas that the current Qimen Puppetry Technique can make such great progress.

It is difficult to break through the learning of cats and tigers, and only continuous innovation can improve one's own level.

Therefore, Shen Zhenxin will not give his own guidance, but will let Lian Xinyue think for herself. Only when there are obvious technical errors, or difficult points that she cannot grasp at this stage, will she give some advice and let Lian Xinyue Yue Mao suddenly enlightened and knew how to deal with it.

It can be said that these three puppets for Yan Xuelan and others to watch were completely innovatively designed by Lian Xinyue himself.

And these three are not for civilian use, but designed by Lian Xinyue for the military.

Because she is Yan Xuelan's fan girl, especially after knowing Yan Xuelan's continuous training of soldiers, she knows that Her Royal Highness's wish must be extraordinary, so she puts her focus on the military puppet first.

Design the following three puppets.

The first type of puppet is a defensive type of puppet, and Lian Xinyue named it Iron Guard Puppet.

From the outside, it looks very heavy, the whole body is made of metal, about 2 meters in size, like a heavy armored soldier.

Because of the use of very tough black iron ore, the defense power of the iron guard puppet itself is no less than that of the black iron large shield, and their bodies are already equivalent to several black iron large shields.

Of course, their attack power should not be underestimated.

In order to allow them to withstand the impact, they used very heavy ore, so the two arms of the iron guard puppet were completely two metal sticks, and the opponent needed to bear the weight of hundreds of catties.

Moreover, the Iron Guard Puppet also has a special feature, that is, it can absorb enemy weapons.

The effect is somewhat similar to the magnets on Blue Star.

There is such a function for metal products.

If fighting an enemy, the opponent often needs to spend more effort to get back their own weapons from the iron guard puppet.

The successful realization of this function is indispensable for Chen Zheng's help. It was the box of Nine Palace Magnets he gave to Lian Xinyue as a gift. Lian Xinyue used them to build and integrate them into the Iron Guard puppet, which made Tie The guard puppet has such a function.

Apart from the parties Yan Xuelan and Lian Xinyue who came to watch the puppets, there were also many people who were direct descendants of Yan Xuelan.

On the internal affairs side are Qin Qing and several people in charge of logistics.

On the military side are the leaders of various units including Xie Nongqi, Beili, Gao Shun, Tan Daoji, and Lian Xin.

At the same time, there are members of the action team such as Chen Zheng, Shen Kuo, etc. After all, this puppet is a combat unit, and they can be regarded as half of a military organization, so it is very suitable to use it.

As soon as this iron guard came out, everyone was very interested.

Except for Qin Qing and others whose expressions were relatively grim, the others were very excited.

They recognized the value of the Iron Guard puppet at a glance.

It is very suitable for defense. It can be used to fill up one's own front, and can also be used to protect important personnel. With the existence of magnets, it is estimated that it is difficult to stab people in the back, and it is likely to be affected by the iron guard puppets.

Are you still not satisfied with such an effect? ​​Everyone even started discussing how many iron guard puppets to build to arm themselves, and even started specific layout arrangements. It's getting worse.

Those in the military only saw the benefits of the iron guard puppet, as if they had forgotten that this iron guard puppet could not be fabricated out of thin air, and the cost of forging this one was more expensive than training an elite soldier.

Which of those ores and metals doesn’t cost money?Moreover, when the puppet is made, there will inevitably be flaws, and maintenance is still needed, and Lian Xinyue cannot be allowed to maintain it alone. He is a developer, not a permanent maintenance worker, so a group of professional people must be hired for the maintenance work. , not only to let them work hard, but also to prevent people with ulterior motives from doing dirty things.

The hard work of the internal affairs personnel is only their own hard work.

Qin Qing still remembered that the first time Gao Shun came to him to ask for herbal medicine, he even said that they were in charge of a huge money bag but were reluctant to spend it.
Really vulgar, not leaving any liquidity to deal with unexpected accidents that may occur at any time?And the various expenses in the city, large and small?
If Yan Xuelan hadn't very generously told Qin Qing to get it from her if he didn't have the money, Qin Qing would have fought with Gao Shun long ago. He really thought he was a literati who only knew how to write and write.

But even if Yan Xuelan is rich, Qin Qing still has to plan carefully. After all, money is not blown by the strong wind. With such a large force, careful planning must lay a good foundation from the beginning, so as to avoid all kinds of troubles in the future. various problems.

Moreover, although the cost of this iron guard puppet is relatively high, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and the effect of the iron guard puppet is also very obvious. It is indeed very useful. It can even be used to defend warehouses and the like, which can greatly save manpower. resource.

Qin Qing and the others are not miserly, they will not spend the money that should be spent, but the money spent must be spent wisely, and some people cannot be allowed to do whatever they want.

For example, the little guy from Beili clamored to form a brigade of Iron Guard puppets, and put them on the front line to protect everyone from damage during the battle. This proposal is very good, but it is not very realistic.

Not to mention a large amount of materials, it is impossible for Lian Xinyue to provide you with so many iron guard puppets in a short period of time. Maybe there will be a chance to realize it in the future, but not now.

Then there is the second type of puppet. The iron guard puppet before was a humanoid puppet, but this time it is a beast-shaped puppet.

It looks like a cheetah in appearance, so it is called a cheetah puppet.

Unlike the previous iron guard puppet, the cheetah puppet does not have such a strong defensive force, because in Lian Xinyue's positioning, the cheetah puppet is an aggressive puppet, and it is a kind of agile animal-shaped puppet.

The main part of its body is made of wood, in order to keep it light, flexible to move, and even to kite the enemy.

Its attack parts are all made of metal, such as sharp claws and fangs, which are very sharp and can tear the enemy's vitals.

And the weapons on the cheetah puppet are not only these two.

On its shoulders, there are two small crossbows that can be reloaded automatically, although the speed is a bit slow, and it will shoot all the crossbows at once, and it will not stop until there are no more stored crossbows on its body.
