The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 190 Lao You: Boss, big business is coming, can you go to the sea to meet the client? (asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket)

The "sharp, slightly chaotic" thing swooped down at high speed.

It was only when Shen Le realized that this was Mr. Peregrine Falcon when it entered the old street, or to be exact, flew over the roof of Tianxiang Tower.

Then, in just a blink of an eye, the peregrine falcon took off and circled above the big camphor tree.

He circled three times, allowing Ah Lu to see him clearly and getting permission to enter, then he folded his wings and flew into the yard where Shen Le was, landing and returning to his original form:

"Boss! Are you busy these days? There's a big job, are you interested in taking it?"

"What job?"

Shen Le withdrew from the state of sensing and capturing everything, and was secretly awed.

It took less than a second for Lao You to enter the mansion from the time he was discovered by him. In other words, he had less than a second to react!
It feels so not enough!

Of course, the peregrine falcon is the fastest flying bird in the world, and its speed in a full dive can reach more than 300 kilometers per hour.

However, this is a world with monsters, and the sprinting speed of other monsters may be ridiculously fast.

Therefore, he either needs to speed up his reaction or strengthen the power of the talisman, otherwise, the safety factor will still not be enough!

Old You didn't expect Shen Le to stare at him. So many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. He said excitedly:

“Boss, here’s the thing. There’s a group of sea turtles in the South China Sea. Their leader recently gave birth to a baby sea turtle with great potential, and we want to give the child the best training environment.

They wanted to customize a training couch inlaid with shells, and promised that once it was made, they could use their treasures at will. They have raised a whole sea of pearl shells..."

A piece of sea.

This really means there is a mine in the house, no, maybe there is a house in the mine?

Shen Le was in a trance for a moment, remembering the scene of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea when he watched Journey to the West as a child.

Corals are used as pillars, shells are used as beds, pearls are rolling all over the ground, and there are jewels everywhere.

You don't even have to give me pearls. Just give me a bunch of treasures from the sunken ships on the seabed and let me find a few that have the potential to become spirit weapons to repair. Wouldn't that be great?

"Well, do they offer shells? How big?"

Lao You immediately sent the photo. Two old turtles were lying on the coral reef, one on the left and one on the right.

In the shallow water between them, there was a huge shell sitting upright. Judging from its size, it could hold both of them...

"Wait, what kind of shell is this?"

Shen Le was amazed. He had never seen this shell before, but looking at the beautiful and strange patterns, it felt very precious.

What if it’s to protect animals?

Killing a protected animal to make money doesn't seem right...

"Don't worry, boss. The shell is already dead. It was hunted by the old turtle couple. The pearls have been taken out."

Lao You took out a small leather bag, opened the bag, picked up a random plate and poured the food into it.

Ding-ding-dong-dong, a brilliant light appeared, and pearls of all sizes fell into the plate. They bounced up, fell down, bounced up, and fell again, shaking unsteadily in the plate, rolling around...

"This is the bead-like thing..."

Shen Le sighed softly. In ancient times, pearls were evaluated based on the four criteria of "bright, heavy, round, and large":
Beauty is based on brilliance, with various descriptions such as gilded, bright moon, and night light, requiring the color to be silvery white and shiny without any silk threads;
Big is beautiful, and a single pearl weighs seven parts and eight parts as a treasure.

Beauty lies in roundness and evenness. The so-called "falling into the plate and rotating in a circle without rest" refers to the beads rolling on the plate.

There were about fifty or sixty pearls in the bag that Lao You took out. The smallest one was the size of a soybean, and the largest one was as big as a thumb.

They are all round and smooth, and a plate of beads put together can emit a faint light even in the daytime.

Since it was already dead and the pearls had been taken out, Shen Le no longer worried about the issue of protecting the animal.

He carefully observed with his spiritual eyes, picked out seven or eight that were particularly strong in spiritual energy, and moved them back and forth on the table, paying close attention to the flow of spiritual energy within them.

After a long while, he nodded:
"It's almost done. Well, Lao You, can you please take the trouble to bring the shell over here?"

"No... Boss, why don't you go there in person..."

Lao You smiled bitterly.

He had managed to get this business with great difficulty. The two old turtles were cunning, ferocious and extremely vigilant. They would dive into the deep sea at the slightest sign of trouble.

He asked a seagull to act as an introducer, demonstrated several cultivation beds made by the boss, and even mortgaged his own cultivation bed before he reached a cooperation intention.

The problem is that the old turtle's requirements are high and complicated, and he also requires a face-to-face interview. If he doesn't meet in person, he will have to take the pearl back and redeem the training bed...

“…I don’t really want to go.”

Shen Le muttered softly. He hadn't mastered the talisman yet, and hadn't reached the point where he could use it to protect himself, so he didn't want to go out...

I don’t even want to go to the sea!
Go to the open sea! "Boss, this order is very rare!" Lao You was a little anxious:

"I have squeezed all the monsters on land and have contacted almost all the monsters that have the ability to pay.

It's not easy to catch a sea monster. Old turtles live long and have many connections. If this road is opened, there will be a lot of business in the future!"

"I'm not short of money..."

Shen Le shrugged. Lao You was speechless for a moment. Thinking about the 100 million yuan reward for the tiger and the tens of millions of yuan for the tiger's body, he really didn't think Shen Le needed to go out.

Alas, if it were me, with more than 100 million yuan in the account, I would not want to go out. I would also like to stay at home and practice quietly.

But it's too troublesome for monsters to cultivate, and all kinds of resources are extremely expensive, unlike humans who are blessed with natural resources. Unless you want to practice various skills, such as drawing talismans, refining pills, making tools...

Huh?
Drawing symbols?

He looked around the room and suddenly his eyes lit up:
"Boss, are you practicing drawing talismans? I know people who make talisman paper and talisman ink. They are good quality and cheap, and they offer discounts for large quantities. They only cost half of what the Special Affairs Bureau charges. Do you want me to help you get the goods?"

Shen Le hesitated for a moment. Old You immediately took advantage of the situation:
"But boss, practicing talisman drawing is a job that costs a lot of money. Several bosses I know told me that to learn a talisman, you have to practice at least ten or a hundred pieces of talisman paper..."

Shen Le hissed. The universal yellow talisman paper used for the most basic talismans was sold in a stack of 2000 sheets at a price of points. pieces was points, or yuan.
Universal cinnabar ink, one bottle of 100 ml, is priced at fifty points; if one bottle is practiced a hundred times, one hundred bottles will be worth five thousand points, or fifty thousand yuan.

Adding the cost of the talisman pen, it would cost at least one hundred thousand, and a little more than one hundred or two hundred thousand.

But is it possible to practice only one kind of talisman?

This is obviously impossible. The copper plate only gave him two patterns in the first issue. It is conceivable that there will be more and more in the future.

If it costs too much, you can temporarily not use the open source method, but you can't reject it outright...

"Let me think about it." He said vaguely. Lao You did not dare to persuade him anymore, so he put the pearl on Shen Le's table and turned away.

Alas, the boss neither agreed nor refused, so he, as an errand boy, had no choice but to rush over again...

"The boss said that he has never used shells before, and we need to study it before we can determine whether it can be done." I wonder if such words can appease the old turtle?
Shen Le patiently continued to study drawing talismans, continued to study how to let Lan Zhuang draw talismans, and studied how to use the talismans drawn by Lan Zhuang for his own use.

After studying for half a month, I still haven't figured out the Zi, Wu, Mao, and You.

The only thing that is certain is that Lan Zhuang is not as mobile as Xiao You Deng, and cannot provide cross-region support. It is not possible to carry a few cosmetic boxes with her...

Alas, when I go out to work in the future, do I have to carry a dressing box worth millions with me?

Before Shen Le found a solution, he suddenly received a call from the Special Affairs Bureau:
"Expert Shen, there is an urgent situation right now. Can you please go and provide support?"

Shen Le quickly glanced at the incoming call number in his hand.

That’s right, it was the Special Affairs Bureau, and not Gu Yulin and his group, but the middle and senior levels of the Special Affairs Bureau who had communicated with him during the previous Shanjun incident.

So, what was going on that made the headquarters call him personally?
"what happened?"

"It's like this. A few years ago, the National Museum's Underwater Research and Archaeology Center salvaged a shipwreck in Guangdong Province. The shipwreck has been under repair, and recently, something strange happened..."

Shen Le hissed. Although shipwreck restoration, ancient building restoration, and ancient furniture restoration all belong to the category of wood product restoration, their directions are very different.

Simply put, the main problems faced in the restoration of ancient buildings and antique furniture are wood decay, component deformation, paint peeling, etc.
When it comes to repairing ancient ships, the main problem is that they have been soaked in water for hundreds to thousands of years.

So far, the oldest ancient shipwreck unearthed in China is from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which means it has been submerged for more than two thousand years.

If you just drain the water and leave it alone, it will rot in front of you...

“I don’t understand that either.”

Shen Le murmured. On the other side of the phone, the Special Affairs Bureau staff was obviously a little anxious:
"We have experts over there who are repairing ancient ships! They have been repairing them for almost ten years! Recently, something unexpected happened and a large number of experts fell ill, and even the visitors fell ill. We really have no way..."

...So you want me to go over and exorcise the evil spirits? Shen Le sighed silently:
This is the current situation. People have become aware of supernatural phenomena and know to seek help from professionals.

A few decades ago, when a large number of people were found to be sick, instead of sending them to the hospital, people were asked to perform exorcism. This was standard political behavior.

People like me who exorcise evil spirits will most likely be beaten to death...

"what did the doctor say?"

"Doctors could only provide supportive treatment... Then, our colleagues discovered intense activity of abnormal factors at the restoration site, in the exhibition hall, and in experts and visitors..."

"...Okay, I'll go there as soon as possible. Can you send me the address? Wait, let's go back to the old rules. Open a substation switch cabinet for me so I can charge..."

Shen Le took the green lantern and the dressing box and flew to Guangdong Province that day. As soon as she landed, she received an excited call from Lao You:
"Boss, you're at the beach! The old turtle asked, can you see him?"

Shen Le suddenly became alert.

　Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket, meow meow meow…

　　A new month has begun, so give your guaranteed monthly ticket to the cat quickly!
