Chapter 3354

Master Meng's residence.

"How much longer?" Peanut didn't care. This was the third time he asked. The first time he asked was 2 hours ago. At that time, the other party said that it would be enough for one hour. The second time, he said that it would be up to one hour.

"I... go and have a look again!" The servant's expression was troubled, but he didn't dare to offend Peanut if he didn't bother. Peanut Buhuaxin is the third in command of the purchasing department of "Open Sesame". He came to the transaction in person to see Master Meng. Master Meng dared not offend the other party. He was just a servant, and he could only look up to him.

Master Meng lives in the backyard. Only he can enter this place. Besides, even his wife is not allowed to enter. Usually work is carried out in this place. As one of the best scroll masters in the Yanhuang Empire, the scrolls he made have a low failure rate and are deeply loved by players.

Big companies such as "Open Sesame", "Polar Bear", and "Shenxian Pavilion" place a lot of orders with him every month. Of course, as a long-term partner, he also gives them more favorable prices.

VIP treatment is still different from ordinary people.

But today, Master Meng was very irritable. The special golden hook pen was used to draw the outline on the special paper, drawing mysterious symbolic lines, clearly and accurately, but in the end it failed.

Puchi——After the rune was completed, Master Meng hadn't breathed out yet, a puff of black smoke came out of the scroll, and spontaneous combustion occurred. Within five or six seconds, the scroll turned into a pile of ashes.

"How could this happen?" Master Meng was very annoyed. He opened the calendar and looked at it again and again. Today he did not commit any taboos and was suitable for work. He was confident to check the clothes he was wearing. It was bright red and festive, and there was no problem. It was the same as drawing scrolls. Will not conflict, where is the problem?

Failure once or twice is a normal thing for drawing magic scrolls. This is a very spiritual work. If you are a little slack, you will make mistakes. However, failing six times in a row in one day is unprecedented and also Only when he was an apprentice did he make such a high number of mistakes. Since he was a mid-level spiritual scroll maker, he hasn't failed so many times in a row in a single day.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Get out!" Master Meng happened to be full and had nowhere to post. The servant outside the door was so frightened that he hurried away, not daring to say a word. Master Meng's personality is not weird, but he often has a bad temper. When he has a good temper, he is just like a normal person. Once he is in a bad mood, he will become an active volcano and may erupt at any time. At this time, the smartest thing to do is to stay away from him, as far away as possible.

The servant clearly remembered that the first two servants were beaten so badly by Master Meng that they almost suffered from depression.

Squeak——Master Meng pushed open the door angrily, and a gust of cold wind blew over with raindrops. His angry face froze for a moment, and he subconsciously asked, "Is it raining?"

In my impression, it rarely rains in the game. It may be the nourishment of the rain, or it may be that the drop in temperature has cleared his mind a lot, and his anger has dropped a lot.

"I've been working for more than a week?" Master Meng often forgets the time when he starts working, but it usually takes 3-4 days. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that this time I received a lot of orders and had to work overtime, so I asked the servants to deliver the meals on time, replenished with top-quality ingredients, and my body was getting weak very slowly.

"Damn it!" Master Meng cursed suddenly. He felt the moisture on his face. After standing like this for a while, there was a layer of moisture on his face. He finally understood the reason why he failed so many times today. He quickly returned to the house, felt the paper carefully with his hands, and regret flashed in his eyes.

damp!

Manufacture of magic scrolls requires very high requirements on paper. Therefore, he is also very careful about the preservation of paper, and there has been no problem. This time, it may be because of the rain that the moisture absorbed by the paper has increased, and the humidity has affected his drawing. . Because the quality of the paper is so good, he didn't notice the slight change until he saw the rain and suddenly woke up.

"Damn!" Master Meng regretted and blamed himself. His time and energy are very precious. It's fine to waste a day's time today. The waste of energy is the heaviest. He must rest for at least two days. It took days to recover, and 6 scrolls were wasted.

He has no way to blame other people, he can only blame himself for being careless, not discovering the changes in the environment immediately, but scolding himself is not his style, he is used to looking for reasons from others when things happen.

He took out a special piece of paper, put it on the table, and carefully felt the changes in the paper. After only half an hour, the moisture absorbed by the paper had reached the level that affected the drawing. Half an hour was not enough to draw a picture. For scrolls, even the simplest scrolls take more than an hour.

After finding out the reason, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to draw. First, there was not enough time, but the environment did not allow it. The humidity in his studio was too heavy, so he had to find a new workplace.

When he came to the front yard, he realized that Peanut didn't bother to come. He patiently told the other party that the order could not be blamed for the delivery as promised, and had to be postponed.

"How long is the delay?" Peanut is very angry if he doesn't care. No one can be calm after waiting for so long, but he is deeply surrendered, and he can't see it on his face.

"At least 10 days!" Master Meng said.

"It's too long, 5 days!" Peanut said carelessly.

"I can't find a suitable place to work here, unless you can provide it." Master Meng replied after thinking for a while, if it was other customers, he would not explain anything to the other party, he would do whatever he said, but the other party is peanuts. Huaxin is from "Open Sesame", he can't be proud.

This occupation has brought him wealth that ordinary people would not be able to earn in three lifetimes, but this amount of wealth is not enough in front of "Open Sesame", which can crush him to death by pulling out a single hair.

"I'll find the location for you. When can I work?" Peanut didn't bother to see the tiredness on Master Meng's brow.

"Tomorrow!" Master Meng gritted his teeth. Although he really wanted to rest for two days, if he did, the order would definitely not be completed.

I can only take more pills, this is a game, there are still many ways to improve energy.

After Peanut didn't bother to leave, Master Meng wanted to take a rest right away. After thinking about it, he went out and came to the "Four Treasures of the Study". Here is the best paper in Yanhuang for sale. The paper used to make magic scrolls is only of the quality here. most.

"How much? Did I hear you right?" Master Meng was shocked when he heard the price of the paper. It rose directly from 100.8 gold coins to 128, an increase of nearly 30%.

"Actually, you are a regular customer and I won't care about the increased cost of storage, but there is nothing we can do about the price increase of raw materials." The shopkeeper of "Four Treasures of the Study" understands Master Meng's mood. Since the day before yesterday, Every customer who buys paper has such an expression, and he has to explain it every time.

"What happened to the raw materials? The rain will only make the trees grow faster. In theory, the cost will drop." Master Meng is not ignorant of common sense.

"The processing link increases the cost. According to the information I got, the yield rate of the paper coming out of the processing factory is only 20%." The shopkeeper said.

"It's so low!" Master Meng gasped, the good product rate under normal conditions is 80%.

"The decisive time may be even lower!" said the shopkeeper.

"Why?" Master Meng didn't understand. When he found a problem, he would only solve it, not expand it.

"The machine is affected by water vapor, and its lifespan is reduced." The shopkeeper said.

"Give me 30...no, 50 pieces of top-quality paper." Master Meng suddenly made a decision. Although he bought so much now, it may be a high price, but he vaguely felt that the price of paper would rise. Rain doesn't stop so easily.
