Chapter 1484: Chapter 1485: Unique Jewelry
Xiao Ji, wearing a flamboyant flower crown, looked at herself in the mirror with confusion. Feng Yuan gently smoothed the feathers on Xiao Ji’s back and said,
Veronia noticed Xiao Ji shaking her head furiously and smiled slightly, saying,
“I thought its taste would be very different from mine. It seems only you have a unique style.”
“What do you mean only I have a unique style? Xiao Ji doesn’t like ordinary accessories, so it has to be something very ‘unique’ .”
Feng Yuan casually removed the flower crown, glanced at Veronia, and complained. She chuckled without rebutting. Although all the accessories here could be used by Xiao Ji, for some reason, Xiao Ji seemed to look down on these items. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan sighed and said,
“Oh, it seems there’s no way around it. Hmm? Is this… DIY jewelry making?”
Just as Feng Yuan was about to leave, he noticed a special project nearby. Considering the expensive and complex materials and processing steps, even DIY jewelry making might not be cheaper than buying it and could even be more costly.
A server noticed Feng Yuan’s gaze and approached to explain the service standards and methods for the DIY service. Essentially, creating a piece that can withstand powerful attacks normally requires many steps. The DIY service can substitute some steps for the customer,
but at least one of either drawing or crafting the shape must be completed by the customer; otherwise, the service is meaningless. Due to Feng Yuan’s youthful appearance, the attendant doubted his ability to complete the steps.
After confirming Feng Yuan intended to craft the shape himself, the attendant took out some basic materials and handed them to Feng Yuan, saying,
“Sorry, but please display your ability with these first. We must ensure each customer won’t waste money on the DIY project.”
Feng Yuan had no objections to this; after all, using materials definitely leads to some wastage, and these materials weren’t cheap. As for the ones handed over by the attendant?
These materials were relatively special, being cheap but very difficult to process, needing as much effort as crafting Common Level accessories to achieve a Legendary Level item. Consequently, these materials were abnormally cheap.
After a while, upon seeing Feng Yuan easily turn those materials into an Eggshell Chicken-shaped accessory, the attendant apologized while preparing materials and tools for Feng Yuan.
Seeing Feng Yuan focused on crafting an accessory for Xiao Ji, the Big Cat bumped a wandering Little Ice Cream with its body, using telekinesis to forcibly take it out of the shop. Kong Qing nudged Pomiti and swam out the door, while Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said,
“Since that’s the case, I’ll let them wander somewhere else first. You can’t be finished so quickly, right?”
“Yes, please tell Qi Chen and the others to go shopping first. I’ll find them after I’m done here,”
Feng Yuan said, as he waved his hand while contemplating what accessory to make for Xiao Ji. With a swish of its tail, Agunas ran off to inform Qi Chen and the others.
“Strange, if you have to make it yourself, why spend that extra money?”
Before leaving, Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan inside the shop with some confusion and said. Veronia twirled the parasol in her hand and said,
“Firstly, the materials are hard to find. Many materials used here are specialties of the Dantia Region, like gemstones soaked in floral nectar. Outside the Dantia Region, they can’t be found, and the subsequent processing steps are quite complicated.”
“You know about this?”
Agunas sized up Veronia with some surprise, not expecting her to understand such things. She rolled her eyes and said irritably,
“Sometimes I want to make myself beautiful jewelry, is there a problem?”
“Moreover, Belusir also knows this craft.”
Watching Belusir nod, Agunas swished its tail, without really understanding their thoughts. These accessories seemed meaningless to it; even Feng Yuan simply used them as gifts, didn’t he?
Long Boduo leaned over to curiously ask,
“Is it hard to learn jewelry making? If I want to master it, how long will it take?”
“You want to try it? For you, it’s hopeless to master it before we leave Tiraya City,”
Veronia said, glancing at Long Boduo. There are many processing steps, and more importantly, Long Boduo hadn’t learned the related skills, not knowing engraving, metal shaping, or jewelry design; it couldn’t manage it.
“Really? It shouldn’t be that hard, should it?”
Long Boduo looked skeptical at Veronia, as the piece of tiny metal in its hand kept turning into various accessories under its strength. Belusir laughed helplessly and said,
“Indeed, the accessories you just transformed have an unreasonable structure design; if worn, they’d be fragile, easily damaged even if made from Divine Artifact materials.”
The metal finally morphed into a ring, and Long Boduo examined it with suspicion and said. Veronia glanced at Long Boduo and said,
“Just tap on the dog head part lightly to find out.”
“Well… it’s a dragon.”
Long Boduo, looking somewhat sheepish at the pattern resembling a dog head, tapped it with a finger. With a “crack” sound, a crack appeared at the dog head part, quickly spreading around.
“So many considerations?”
Yang Hongzhi exclaimed in surprise from the side, and Najia nodded, saying,
“Yes, besides learning, mastering it requires constant practice. Unfortunately, I never learned it.”
Thinking of something, Najia sighed, while Agunas swished its tail in displeasure and said,
“What’s the use of this? It has no effect in battle, and you have to ensure it isn’t destroyed by battle remnants—ridiculous…”
Noticing Veronia staring coldly at him, Agunas swished its tail and snorted, dropping the topic. Dou Yanlan laughed softly and said,
“Shall we go over there? We can help Feng Yuan find some delicious snacks too.”
“That’s a good choice; I’m feeling hungry myself.”
With a smile, Veronia said, twirling the parasol again as she stepped into a nearby dessert shop. The Big Cat turned its head in confusion towards a nearby Scholar Owl sporting a strange adornment and strutting into the crowd. Shaking its head, the Big Cat hurried to follow Qi Chen and the others.
Agunas seemed to sense something, and glanced behind, only to find there were no special things except a group of tourists. Just as they entered the dessert shop, a Spirit Beast with the same shape but different color from Agunas floated by through the crowd.
“Alright, got it. How does it look?”
Hanging the pendant around Xiao Ji’s neck, Feng Yuan said proudly. The pendant’s shape was very unique, resembling a distinct magic circle. Feng Yuan meticulously sculpted even the tiny runes on the solidified small magic circle.
Xiao Ji looked in the mirror and chirped satisfactorily. Although the pendant wasn’t in its likeness, it understood what it represented—runes of its acquired divine powers; only it and Feng Yuan fully understood what they signified. Delighted at having this secret with Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji chirped excitedly.
Taking the pendant off Xiao Ji’s neck amid its dissatisfied chirps and handing it to the attendant, Feng Yuan laughed as he ruffled Xiao Ji’s feathers and said,
“Don’t worry. It hasn’t gone through processing yet, but I guess it can withstand attacks below Legendary Level without damage. Just be cautious during battles, and if Legendary Level or higher ultimate moves are coming, don’t let them hit you～”
Listening to Feng Yuan’s incessant chatter, the attendant felt like laughing. Although she couldn’t recognize Xiao Ji’s Spirit Beast type, considering Feng Yuan’s age and Xiao Ji’s aura, she could infer their power wouldn’t surpass Good Level. What talk of ultimate moves beyond the Legendary Level?
With such a huge disparity in strength, even a slight touch from such moves would hurt more than just the accessory; it might even endanger the Spirit Beast itself.
Despite the humor, she hastily sealed the accessory and sent it to the store’s craftsman for further processing.
