Chapter 035 Shen Bai, you pretty boy!
With the spirit power converter, Shen Bai was able to repair more everyday magical artifacts. Zhu Shi knew that Shen Bai had a very solid foundation in basic knowledge, so he first gave him a washing machine to practice on.
The complex magic array inside this washing machine has suffered severe aging of its nodes due to long-term use. To repair it, it is necessary to use spiritual power to detect all the aging nodes one by one, and then re-weld them, or draw new circuits to ensure the smooth flow of spiritual power.
Shen Bai squatted in a corner of the repair shop, holding a spirit power converter in one hand and using a carving knife to trace the silver lines on the array plate with the other.
While searching for aging nodes, Shen Bai compared and verified the apprentice's experience in weapon refining with the black array plate in front of him. He became more and more skilled and soon found more than a dozen aging nodes on the aging array plate.
"Practice makes perfect!"
Shen Bai first used a carving knife to remove the aging nodes one by one, then used a spirit power converter to bake a section of spirit metal. After the spirit metal liquefied, he dripped the spirit metal onto the original position of the aging node, and then manipulated the spirit power to guide the spirit metal to quickly connect with the original circuit.
This is the fundamental reason why Shen Bai couldn't repair large items before. Ordinary silver liquid welding method cannot allow spiritual energy to pass through well for large magical artifacts. It is necessary to use spiritual energy to temper and connect the circuits, which is a skill that only weapon-refining apprentices can master.
Half an hour later, the light of the spirit power converter in Shen Bai's hand went out, the spirit stones inside turned into a pile of ashes, and the spirit power was completely exhausted.
"Uncle Zhu, it's fixed! Please take a look!"
Shen Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead. This was the first time he had repaired a large daily-use magical artifact, and the effort and energy he had expended far exceeded that of repairing small magical artifacts.
"You're something else, kid!"
Zhu Shi took the spirit stone and put it into the washing machine. He gently activated the array, and the washing machine immediately hummed as the complex array inside began to operate rapidly.
"Great, shall we continue?"
Zhu Shi had accumulated a lot of damaged large everyday magical artifacts here. Normally, he couldn't repair them quickly by himself, but now that Shen Bai was helping, he immediately felt much more relaxed.
"Let's continue, I don't have anything planned for today!"
Since he could both earn money and gain practical experience, Shen Bai plunged headlong into the world of magical artifacts.
In one day, Shen Bai repaired eight large daily-use magical artifacts, and Zhu Shi paid him 80 low-grade spirit stones.
After deducting costs, the net profit is 70 spirit stones.
Having spiritual power makes a difference of dozens of times in how fast you can earn money compared to not having it!
I'm getting more and more excited about my life after entering the Taoist academy; it's sure to be colorful and exciting!
Shen Bai happily put away the spirit stones. Seeing that it was almost time, he went home to prepare dinner for Shen Wenwen and then headed to the milk tea shop.
Upon seeing Hu Feier again, Shen Bai felt a surge of warmth and handed her some roasted chestnuts he had bought on the way: "Shopkeeper, try some. These are the best roasted chestnuts we have near my house. Wenwen loves them the most."
"Oh? Okay! Thank you!"
Hu Feier was caught off guard by Shen Bai's sudden gift of snacks. The usually capable woman quickly accepted the roasted chestnuts.
The freshly roasted chestnuts were still hot, and Hu Feier's ears felt a little hot.
[Ding! Jealousy from Qi Hao +7, current level 100!]
[Ding! Rival Qi Hao's jealousy level has reached 100. You can extract one of his abilities.]
[Please choose one of the following three abilities from your rival Qi Hao.]
[Ability 1: Minor Mastery Starfall Step]
[Skill 2: Basic Milk Tea Making]
[Skill 3: Basic Airship Piloting]
……
Starfall Step? A footwork technique even stronger than Swimming Dragon Step?
The levels of martial arts skills are divided into four ranks: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. The Profound Origin Heart Sutra, Dragon Transformation, Vajra Leg, Arhat Fist, and Tai Zhen Sword Technique, which are uniformly practiced by all students in the Profound Origin Empire, belong to the Profound rank. Iron Shirt, Spiritual Rhinoceros Finger, Ox Family Staff, and Starfall Step are basically Earth rank martial arts.
With the perfected Earth-rank martial arts skills that Shen Bai has mastered, he can easily crush martial artists of the same level, and it is not difficult for him to fight against martial artists of the eighth or ninth level.
Shen Bai never expected to get such a skill from Qi Hao. It was probably one of only two skills he had that he could use. The other was the perfected Iron Shirt skill that had saved his life.
Thank you to Qi Hao, the outstanding employee of the year at the milk tea shop.
Shen Bai chose ability one.
Including Qi Hao, Shen Bai has already taken advantage of seven love rivals: Qian Kai, Wang Wei, Jia Feng, Xie Zong, Lü Shu, and Pan Li. The only ones he can still take advantage of in the short term are Yang Xiao's blind date, Wang Dong, and Teacher Ding Jin. The others are all classmates from Jiangbei No. 7 High School who have a crush on An Li.
Shen Bai's standards have risen considerably. He no longer finds the skills of ordinary classmates appealing. However, he is eager to see what kind of reward the system will give him after he has gathered 10 rivals in love.
The only employee the milk tea shop could exploit was Qi Hao, but there was still potential to exploit the customers queuing up. So Shen Bai continued to operate with a big smile, enthusiastically taking photos with each of the young ladies.
"Um?"
Shen Bai suddenly noticed that among the young women in line, the same woman who had been hypnotized earlier was there again. However, the man next to her was a different person.
Shen Bai observed her discreetly and found that the man beside her was still unremarkable, but the young lady's eyes would occasionally become vacant.
"He's here again?"
Having already taken advantage of Pan Li three times in a row, and with his perfected disguise technique, Shen Bai immediately realized that the man was the same Pan Li from before.
"Does this guy have some kind of weird fetish? Why does he have to target this girl? Why does he have to hypnotize her to buy milk tea?"
Unable to understand the other person's mindset, Shen Bai simply stopped thinking about it. However, he walked up to Hu Feier without making a sound and gave her a wink.
Hu Feier was busy with the cash register. Ever since Shen Bai started taking photos with everyone, the number of orders at the milk tea shop had increased dramatically every day. She enjoyed the happiness of being busy, but when this happiness was interrupted, her mood soured.
Hu Feier glanced at the young lady casually and immediately understood.
Du Haiyang of the Enforcement Hall did not tell Shen Bai about Wu before, because it would be useless to tell Shen Bai such a thing.
The same young woman still showed strong signs of hypnosis, but the man beside her had changed. Hu Feier immediately guessed that this man was likely the female spy's accomplice.
She casually sent Hu Weiwei a message, saying, "Shen Bai, I noticed some of the girls didn't seem to enjoy taking photos much, so you can't slack off!"
"Don't worry, manager, I'll make sure the ladies feel right at home!"
Shen Bai understood and turned to greet the next young lady.
Qi Hao felt quite annoyed watching Shen Bai and the shop manager exchanging glances.
What's going on? What happened?
How come you two suddenly became so close?
When you came, you brought chestnuts. Now, ignoring all these people queuing up for this secret signal, have you already slept together?
Shen Bai, you pretty boy!
Is it even possible to work properly anymore?!
