Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan sat in her small jewelry shop, fiddling with strings of pearls and silver chains.

The dim light in the store made her face blurry. She sighed and thought to herself, "Why is business getting worse and worse?"

She looked up at the clock on the wall. It was almost nine o'clock in the evening. Besides her, the only person left in the store was a young girl looking at earrings in a corner.

The girl was wearing a pair of big-framed glasses and had messy hair, as if she had just crawled out of bed.

"Who still wears jewelry these days?" Zhou Wanwan said to herself.

She stood up, walked behind the counter, and took out a thick notebook from the drawer. On the cover of the notebook was written "Transformers Bracelet Design".

She opened the notebook, which was filled with sketches of various bracelets, some of which looked like snakes, some like dragons, some like airplanes, and some like cars.

"None of these will work." She shook her head and closed the notebook.

Just then, the door of the store was pushed open. A woman in a black leather jacket walked in.

Holding a cup of coffee in her hand, she took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of bright eyes.

"Wanwan, are you still studying that Transformers bracelet?" the woman said with a smile.

"Qianqian!" Zhou Wanwan exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"I was just passing by and came to see you." Qianqian walked to the counter and put the coffee on the table. "Are you still worried about that bracelet?"

"Yes, I want to design a bracelet that can transform, like Transformers.

It can be transformed into different shapes." Zhou Wanwan sighed, "But no matter how I design it, I'm not satisfied."

Qianqian picked up the notebook on the table, flipped through a few pages, and frowned: "These designs are too complicated. Who would wear such a complicated bracelet?"

"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhou Wanwan was a little discouraged.

"You should start with something simple." Qianqian put down her notebook and picked up the pearl bracelet on the table.

"For example, you can design a retractable bracelet that can be tightened when worn on the hand and stretched when taken off."

"Retractable?" Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea!"

"Also, you can design a rotatable bracelet that can rotate when worn on your hand and can be fixed when taken off." Qianqian continued.

"Rotate?" Zhou Wanwan became even more excited. "This is a better idea!"

"Also, you can design a foldable bracelet that can be folded when worn on your hand and unfolded when taken off." Qianqian became more and more excited as she spoke.

"Folding?" Zhou Wanwan jumped up excitedly, "This is a great idea!"

"Also, you can design a transformable bracelet that can transform when worn on your hand and return to its original shape when taken off." Qianqian said with a smile.

"Transformation?" Zhou Wanwan was stunned. "Isn't this the Transformers bracelet I want?"

"Yes, you can design a bracelet that can transform, like Transformers.

It can change into different shapes." Qianqian patted Zhou Wanwan's shoulder, "Don't you like Transformers very much?"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" Zhou Wanwan suddenly realized, "Thank you, Qianqian!"

"You're welcome. I was just saying that." Qianqian smiled. "But you have to remember that the most important thing in designing a bracelet is to keep it simple and practical, not too complicated."

"I understand." Zhou Wanwan nodded, "I will redesign it."

"Okay, I'll leave first. You take your time to study it." Qianqian picked up the coffee, turned around and left the jewelry store.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Qianqian's back, her heart filled with gratitude. She opened her notebook again and began to redesign the bracelet.

This time, she decided to start simple and design a bracelet that can stretch, rotate, fold and transform.

She drew a few sketches and thought they were good. Then she picked up the pearls and silver chain on the table and started to make it.

She first strung the pearls into a bracelet, and then added a small mechanism at both ends of the bracelet to make the bracelet retractable.

Next, she added a small gear in the middle of the bracelet to make it spin.

Finally, she added a small clasp to each end of the bracelet that allows it to fold over.

She put the bracelet on her hand and tried the functions of extension, rotation and folding, and found it quite good. So she decided to design another transformable bracelet.

Zhou Wanwan sat in front of the workbench, holding an unfinished ring in her hand, her brows furrowed.

Her desk was piled high with various tools and materials, with silver threads, pearls, and small gears scattered all over the floor.

She had just finished the bracelet that could expand, rotate and fold, and was feeling quite proud of herself, but the ring design in front of her put her in a dilemma.

"A transforming ring...how should I design it?" she murmured to herself, scratching on the paper with the pencil in her hand, but she could not find any inspiration.

At this moment, the door of the shop was gently pushed open, and a breeze blew in. Zhou Wanwan looked up and saw an old man in a gray gown walking in.

He had gray hair, a gentle smile on his face, and a beautifully carved wooden staff in his hand.

"Master Zhongshan!" Zhou Wanwan stood up in surprise and hurriedly went to greet him, "Why are you here?"

Master Zhongshan is a famous local jewelry design master. When he was young, he traveled to many countries and learned various crafts.

His works are famous for their exquisiteness and innovation, and Zhou Wanwan has always regarded him as an idol.
