Douluo: You call this a toy

"Ah? Soul master?" Chen Le thought, is there such a soul master?

Seeing Chen Le's surprised look, Ying Meng smiled sheepishly.

"Soul guidance devices have been lost for a long time. It's not easy for Ying Meng to occasionally make a few finished products. He sells the finished products and buys materials. When the materials are used up, he sells the finished products again. All his money is invested in them." Lao Yang said.

"There are no finished products, and what is sold are only semi-finished products." Ying Meng said.

Chen Le looked at his gray hair. It was so similar to some people in previous lives. Did he have gray hair because he studied this soul guide every day?

"Can these ores be used to make soul tools? Uncle Ying Meng, can I see how you make soul tools?" Chen Le said.

"It's okay, but just don't think it's dirty."

Ying Meng wiped it on his hand, then waved his hand, and the bags of ore disappeared.Only then did Chen Le notice that there was a wrist guard on his hand. This...should be a storage soul guide, right?Then he took out a bag of gold soul coins from the storage soul guide and handed it to Lao Yang.

These bags of ore cost dozens of gold soul coins!Chen Le was shocked. It seemed that these stones were not simple.

He followed Ying Meng to his..."studio", an ordinary basement. The lights were on in the basement, and the light was pretty good.The ground is full of coal ash, stone clothing, powders of many kinds of ores, and a furnace.

However, the fire was much smaller, so Ying Meng added a lot of coal to it.

"Come in, this is my studio."

His studio is much cleaner.

On the table, there are ancient books, drawings, and Ying Meng's own sketches.Pieces of colorful ore with no function, half-finished soul tools, and a sharp carving knife were thrown here and there.

"Uncle Ying Meng, how do you usually make soul guides?" Chen Le asked.

"How to make a soul guide? Just do this." Ying Meng picked up the carving knife, and with a very strong hand, he carved mysterious symbols on the ore. "Are you interested in soul guides?"

"Well, a little bit." Chen Le's eyes were always on the soul guide.

"These ores can be used in soul guides. Do they have any special effects or functions?"

Ying Meng said: "These ores are suitable for making soul tools, you see."

He put his hand on a piece of ore and input his soul power, and the ore actually lit up.

"This is the simplest one. This stone is called light jade. It can emit light by inputting soul power and can be used for lighting."

"But the premise is that the soul power can be input continuously, right?" Chen Le noticed the crux of the problem.

Ying Meng took a deep look at Chen Le and sighed: "That's the problem. Without such technology, the production of soul guides was lost a long time ago. Storage soul guides, for example, are much simpler. .”

If Chen Le remembered correctly, Douerxuan Ziwen created the milk bottle, which was the first soul guidance device that could store soul power without leakage.Now, there is nothing.It's easy to carve a circuit to transport soul power, but without a device to store soul power, it's still in vain.

"Aren't there any minerals that can store soul power?"

"Maybe there is, maybe not. At least, I haven't heard of it." Ying Meng was stunned just now. Indeed, if there were ores that could store soul power, the problem could be solved, but because of the ancient books that had stored soul power, he The device is a dead end.

I kept thinking about that thing and trying to restore it, but that was not easy.

Chen Le thought about how this soul guide technology could be used to make toys. It was not about being powerful, but it could just add special effects to the toys.Simple special effects such as glowing, plus colored glass, can be colored lights.

This seems to have great potential, and it can even cultivate many craftsmen who are exposed to the technology and principles of soul guidance devices, which will slowly lead to the development of soul guidance devices in the future.

However... the current soul guidance device technology is basically the same as before.Chen Le is very curious about what kind of soul tools this uncle can do?

"Uncle Ying Meng, what kind of soul tools can you make?"

"Which ones? What soul tools do you know?"

"Storage, defense, flying, melee attack, long-range attack, etc."

"The most I can do is make a storage soul guide. Although the others are completed, their effects are not as good as those in the ancient books. I can only call them semi-finished products."

"Uncle, you have so many ancient books and drawings, don't you have complete drawings?" If you have complete drawings and find all the materials, it shouldn't be difficult to imitate them, right?

"No, where did the drawings come from? These are all my drafts. I deduced them myself based on the incomplete drawings in ancient books or principles." Ying Meng sighed.

"May I take a look at it?"

"Okay, you can watch whatever you want."

After receiving permission, Chen Le picked up a draft on the table. These drafts are indeed proof that Ying Meng has continued to perfect a certain soul guidance device. The soul power circuit and special inscription symbols on it, There are also notes on the side.

But the ancient books are different.

It has begun to rot due to time. Although it is well preserved, the writing and drawings are still blurry.Even the words used are completely different from the words used in Douluo Continent now.

Chen Le couldn't understand it at all.

It's like archeology. If you don't understand ancient Chinese, even if you find some books or inscriptions, you won't know what is written on them.

"Uncle, these are all ancient texts, can you understand them?" Chen Le asked.

"I can understand a little bit. My father and grandfather used to study this soul guide, and I can understand to some extent what some of the words and symbols mean." Ying Meng said.

If this is the case, it will be even worse.You can't understand the technology of the soul guide in front of you. If it is not lost, who will lose it?

"Uncle Ying Meng, I would like to learn the making techniques of soul guides from you, is it okay?"

Ying Meng, who had been carving the knife all the time, stopped at this time. The carving knife and the ore were all placed on the table.

"You say? You want to learn soul guidance technology from me?" Ying Meng was very excited, "Are you serious?"

"Really, I am very interested in soul guides, and I also want to use this technology in other fields."

Ying Meng's excitement gradually calmed down, and he shook his head: "I can't teach you. This soul guide is a big hole. I didn't make much money, but I invested it all. I can't drag you down. . Look at me, I’m in my 40s, I don’t even have a wife, I’m struggling like a 70- or [-]-year-old man.”

After all, with his condition, which girl would want to marry him?His generation in the family will all be extinct.

"Hahaha, Uncle Ying Meng, how about you come work for me." Chen Le said with a smile.
