Metropolis: I Am a Full-Time Professional, Attracting Worldwide Attention - Chapter 140

Chapter 140

The carving knife burst out at a terrifying speed in Chen Xuan’s hands, and the people watching it were dazzled.

Those who don’t understand think that Chen Xuan is sculpting indiscriminately, and those who understand, for example, Mr. Xu, it is really an expert looking at the doorway.

For a novice who is just entering the industry, what is the most difficult thing about carving?

It’s not whether the sculpture is like or not, but whether you can move it or not.

The knife is sharp, but if the angle is wrong, it is easy to get stuck in an embarrassing situation.

Therefore, Chen Xuan’s ability to reach his mind directly with his sword and sword is a manifestation of his solid foundation skills.

Although he does not know what Chen Xuan wants to carve, he doesn’t even draw any drawings or shape it. It is enough to see that he has great confidence in what he wants to carve.

This confidence can’t be achieved blindly, it needs abnormal memory and a sense of space.

The combination of these allows him to freely imagine a finished wood sculpture in his mind through free blind thinking when closing his eyes.

“Brother Chen…Is there a few carvings?”

“It feels like Brother Chen is going farther and farther on this road (covering his face)”

“Don’t talk nonsense, Brother Chen has a solid foundation in carving.”

“? What? Brother Chen still has the skills?”

“Yes, and it’s solid, really solid.”

“I suddenly started to look forward to Chen Ge’s work.”

Many wood carving enthusiasts, as well as some people who use carving to pass the time on weekdays, have seen something.

Chen Xuan’s sculptures are not without rules, but with traces to follow.

Not enough. They don’t have the eyesight and experience of Master Xu. They can only see a contour vaguely. They probably feel that Chen Xuan’s carvings are unusual, but they can’t be specific.

Time flies, Chen Xuan has been carving for more than an hour.

And this piece of wood, what it was originally like, is still what it is now.

If it weren’t for the thick layer of sawdust on the ground, everyone really doubted whether Chen Xuan would use a knife to scratch across the wood for more than an hour.

“Old Xu, how come Teacher Chen can’t see the progress?”

“It’s all sawdust, not even a piece of wood.”

Except for the first time I saw Chen Xuan chop down a piece of wood with an axe, I never saw it again.

Teacher Xu watched the whole process without saying a word.

Originally, he was sitting and watching, but after watching, he stood up, his eyes and expressions were like a student who was studying.

He didn’t hear Tao Yuan’s question.

Finally Tao Yuan couldn’t help it. He went over and pulled his sleeves, and asked in a low voice, “Old Xu, what is Teacher Chen doing?”

“Sculpting.” Teacher Xu turned her head back, her eyes seemed to say, why would you ask such an idiot question?

“But this wood hasn’t changed at all.” The two of them were going crazy.

You are an insider, we are not, there are some things you don’t explain, can we outsiders understand?

The wood in front of me is still that wood.

They said they couldn’t understand what Chen Xuan was doing.

He only saw him continuously carve up and down on the wood with a knife, but the results of the carving were not reflected on the wood.

It’s as if you slashed the wood with a knife, but didn’t even scratch off a piece of sawdust.

Chen Xuan has been carving continuously for more than an hour. The wood is still wood. Except for a layer of sawdust on the ground, there is really no change at all.

“Huh~”

At this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly dropped his hand, took two steps back, looked at the wood that seemed to them almost no change in shape, nodded in satisfaction, then walked to the table and sat down, holding up a cup of tea. Take a bite.By the way, they smiled at Tao Yuan and said, “Take a while and then continue.”

“Ms. Chen, how are you… how is the progress of carving?” Tao Yuan asked tentatively.

“Um.”

“But this…28…”

“Just watch it.” Teacher Xu said.

If you don’t understand, you can ask, but the carving skills of others are better than me. I didn’t say anything, what do you guys say.

Doesn’t it hurt to be slapped in the face for a while?

“Progress… For Mao, I feel that for more than an hour, there is no progress at all?”

“I suspect that Brother Chen is sharpening the knife.”

“God sharpens the knife.”

“Brother Chen’s progress is terrifying, but you can’t see it and it’s normal, because Brother Chen uses the technique of blind carving.”

“What is a blind carving?”

“It’s just a kind of name. Generally, no one will carve like this. The main reason is that the error rate is too high, and it’s a bit too dazzling. People who really know how to sculpt are actually very disgusted with this kind of dazzling. This will affect wood carving. The overall shape, but Brother Chen should be in a hurry. After all, the day after tomorrow is the celebration. If he wants to finish the carving before the celebration, he can only use blind carving to save time.”

“After talking for a long time, I still haven’t said what a blind carving is…”

“Blind carving means that there is no need for drawings, no finalization, and the finished product to be engraved has a clear look in mind. At the same time, most of the knife passes are completed in one stroke during the engraving process, and no rework is allowed. But this The method is too demanding for the engraver. In many places, if the strength is not mastered, it is easy to make mistakes. Once a mistake, even if it can be corrected, it is not as good as the finished product.”

“The advantage of this technique is that it is fast, but the disadvantage is that it requires too much of the engraver.”

“Does that mean that Brother Chen is very good at carving?”

“Very powerful, very powerful!”

“Damn, look down on him!”

“Big brother, please ask, what exactly is Chen’s carving?”

“I also want to know, what exactly is this special carved?”

“Hmm…I don’t know.” The netizen, who is obviously also an expert, said: “From the point of view of where he took the knife and has been processed in detail, it is not a character, it is most likely an animal.”

“Isn’t it really a picture of beasts?”

“Probably not, Brother Chen has already said it, it’s too late for the Beast Diagram.”

With the explanation of this big brother, everyone has a simple understanding.

And it is this simple cognition that makes them more clearly understand how strong Chen Xuan is in carving this area.

Chen Xuan took a break. Teacher Xu came over and sat aside. He asked in an instructive tone: “Mr. Chen, are you using blind carving?”

“Yes.” Chen Xuan replied naturally: “It saves time.”

“It does save a lot of time, but it also depends on what the carving is.” Teacher Xu said: “I see Teacher Chen’s knife moves, the arc is not like a character. Can you ask, what does Teacher Chen want to carve?”

“Dragon.” Chen Xuan replied: “Our China’s totem, dragon.”

Teacher Xu was startled, and then hissed: “Long’s words…may not be completed before the day after tomorrow.”

It’s better if it’s a phoenix, dragon, it takes too much time to carve.

Even a small dragon totem takes dozens of hours to complete.

Not to mention, it is this kind of large two-meter-high.

If he was asked to carve, even the most common dragon shape, except for the 24-hour non-stop carving, it would take a week to barely finish it.

However, Chen Xuan intends to complete it in two days. In his opinion, it is a bit of a fantasy.

Taking a step back, even if Chen Xuan can sculpt it, the dragon totem sculpted under such a rush of work must be flawed and incomplete.

The whole process has no other meaning besides expressing a fast.

However, he also understands that Chen Xuan is going to make a gift for the celebration of Mordu University after all.Speaking of buying, with Chen Xuan’s current net worth, he can easily buy a lot of similar things.

Even antiques can be bought.

But the meaning of the one he bought and the one he carved out by himself is different.

“Forgive me, I really didn’t see that Brother Chen was sculpting a dragon (covering his face)”

“I can’t tell, it must be my problem, it’s definitely not Brother Chen’s problem.”

“If you carve a dragon, two days may not be enough. Even if it is blind carving, it may not be possible to carve it, and even if it is carved, the details will be quite different.”

“It’s mainly a matter of mind, so don’t care about that much.”

“For ordinary people like us, there is really little difference between good works and ordinary works, and few people can see it with the naked eye.”

Chen Xuan took a short break before continuing to sculpt.

This kind of carving continued until noon. When it was time for dinner, Chen Xuan just ordered a takeaway and came back to eat, but he didn’t have time to entertain Tao Yuan.

Several of them also understood and didn’t care about these aspects.

After lunch, Chen Xuan continued.

In one day, Chen Xuan never left the yard, and kept carving around the wood.

In the blink of an eye, it was dark.

At eight o’clock, Tao Yuan said, “It’s too early, Teacher Chen, we will go back first.”

“Okay.” Chen Xuan put down his action: “I will give it to you.”

“No, you’re busy with you, let’s go back by ourselves, in school, what else to give away.”

Tao Yuan waved his hand, and the three of them turned around and left the yard. Before leaving, they also took the gate of the yard.

After they left, Chen Xuan was still carving.

Chen Xuan didn’t stop until eleven o’clock in the evening.

He patted the sawdust on his hand and said, “No accident, it can be carved by tomorrow night.”

He smiled and went into the house to take a bath.

Rest directly after washing.

Get up early the next day and continue after breakfast.

And Tao Yuan and the three were also punctual and ran over at nine o’clock.

Three people look at Chen Xuan carving.

Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, it was already five o’clock in the evening.

When the second hand crossed five o’clock exactly, Chen Xuan stopped his movements and jumped off the stool.

This piece of wood is two meters high. Although Chen Xuan is not short, the carving requires multiple angles and cannot be carved from bottom to top.

Looking at the two-meter-high piece of wood in front of him, Chen Xuan nodded his head very satisfied: “Fortunately, it seems that there is no need to stay up late tonight.”

“This… is this done?”

“I feel like I’m lonely.”

“Who will tell me, what exactly did Brother Chen do in the past two days?”

“I don’t know, I don’t understand, I don’t understand.”

There is hardly any change between this piece of wood and yesterday, even if everyone knows that Chen Xuan is going to carve a dragon.

However, they could not see any traces of dragons on the wood at all.

Even if Chen Xuan pointed to the wood and told everyone that he was carving rhubarb, no one suspected anything.

“Is the carving done?” Tao Yuan and the two were equally at a loss.

“Yeah.” Chen Xuan smiled and said, “Okay.”

At this time, in the classroom, the group of students in the mathematics class were also watching the live broadcast.

Since yesterday, the three of Gao Shu saw Chen Xuan’s status, they immediately contacted the group and told them.

Now the whole class of students are worried about Chen Xuan’s mental state.

At this time, Chen Xuan said that it is done…

They suddenly felt that they had to find a way to flick Teacher Chen to the hospital for an examination.

“But there is one last step.” Chen Xuan said suddenly.

He took a step forward, stood in front of the wood, and then extended his right hand to the middle of the wood.

There is a small piece of wood protruding from there.

Chen Xuan grasped it with his thumb and index finger, took a deep breath, and carefully pulled it away little by little.

With the action he pulled out, the piece of wood grew longer and longer, starting from the middle of the wood, and spreading up, down, left and right.

And the wood chips in each place are different in length and thickness.

Chen Xuan seemed to tore a fishing net made of wood, and as he continued to uncover it, under the wooden net, the true face of the wood carving appeared.

Sharp five claws, streamlined body full of strength and beauty, row upon row, unparalleled texture…

Dragon!

Under the wooden net, there is a dragon!

A dragon clinging to the wood!

The black and yellow wood colors set off the dragon as if leaping out from under the setting sun.

When the last bit of the wood net separates from the wood, it falls to the ground.

The real side of woodcarving is fully presented.

Snake body, horse head, antlers, eagle claws, dense scales…

This is a dragon going upward!

Everything is perfect enough to fault it.

Especially the dragon head, at the top of the wood carving, slightly downwards, and the dragon’s whiskers flutter slightly from both sides, as if there is really wind blowing.

The closed dragon kiss filled the whole dragon with majesty, and made people involuntarily fearful.

The live broadcast room is quiet.

Several Tao Yuan people watched steadily, without saying a word.

This dragon seemed to be about to soar into the sky and go straight into the nine heavens.

Just looking at this dragon sculpture gave them the feeling that this legendary beast really exists.

As if this is a living thing!

“It seems that something is missing.”

Chen Xuan smiled, took out something from his pocket, walked to the stool, raised his hand and stuffed the two black stones into the already prepared eye sockets.

This stone was picked up by him in the artificial lake of the university, and it was just the right size.

And just after the dragon sculpture had these eyes, everyone was watching, and they actually felt a sense of fear.

It seems that this dragon has a soul instantly!

If you say, the wood carvings just now make them feel lifelike and vivid.

Then the current wood carvings make them feel majestic, shocked, and even afraid to look directly at them.

Involuntarily want to look away.

“I’m so scared, is it my problem?”

“You are not alone, and I am also afraid. How do you feel that this is alive?”

“Did the dragon really exist? Otherwise, why is Chen Gediao so vivid, I dare not look at it.”

“It’s too hanging, this woodcarving, it’s so unreasonable.”

“Your sister, this wood carving, Brother Chen, are you really going to give it to Modu University?”

“No, if Mordu University is at the gate, I will not dare to apply for Mordu University in the future. It’s scary.”

“It’s really scary.”

There is no suspense. Based on such terrifying online data, there is absolutely no shortage of rich people.

The money of the rich does not mean that it is so easy to make money, it has to be really worth the money.

This wood carving is very much before.

As long as Chen Xuan is willing to nod his head, for these local tyrants, money is not a problem at all.

“This wood carving, ten million less, right?”

“Dreaming! Ten million? Don’t even want to buy it if you double it.”

“Don’t think about it, the wood was bought by the students, and Brother Chen carved it on his behalf. In theory, the wood carving does not belong to Brother Chen.”

“Your mother, that little brother has made a lot of money, grass!”

“This wood carving gave me a lot more shock than the writing and painting. I estimate that at least 50 million will be the base.”

A group of people guessed the value of wood carving in the live broadcast room.

In the classroom, a group of students who ordered takeaways were in a daze watching the live broadcast room.

After a long time, someone looked at Gao Shu: “Lao Gao, a few of you bought this stuff?”

Gao Shu said blankly: “Um…130,000.”

“Fuck, you are making a lot of money!”

“Do you believe it or not at least 50 million after this resale?”

“Gan, you are so profitable!”

This group of students was even more excited than Gao Shu, but Gao Shu said with a bitter face: “I… can I sell it?”

Liang Haoran was also bitter: “Yeah, how do we sell it? It was originally given to the school, but now I am temporarily changing it. Do you think Teacher Chen will kill us?”

When everyone heard it, they suddenly wilted, as if it was really the case.

The wood is theirs, but the things are carved by Chen Xuan.

Before carving, it was agreed that it would be given to the school. If they don’t send it…

If you don’t send it, Chen Xuan probably won’t say anything.

However, they don’t want to get mixed up in school in the future, at least on the face of it, they have to bear a negative reputation.

But if it were given, it would be equivalent to giving away tens of millions.

They are all laymen, not saints.

The most true thought in my heart is to sell the woodcarving.

“Send it!” The two finally made up their minds.

They are not short of money, as long as they don’t spend it randomly, the money they already have is enough for them to use.

Moreover, this in itself is also a test for them.

Given to his alma mater, Chen Xuan’s eyes will definitely leave a better impression. There will be a chance in the future. With Chen Xuan’s character, he will definitely take them with them.

They are tantamount to giving up part of the benefits in advance, and the latter benefits are opportunities that Chen Xuan will reserve for them in the future.

…

…

In the yard, the three people stood up from the stools, admiring, shocking, sighing, and amazed!

After a long time, Teacher Xu said, “This work is enough to be put in the museum collection!”

It seems to be to confirm what Mr. Xu said, at this point in the evening, there was indeed a museum emerging.

However, Chen Xuan couldn’t see it. Even if he saw it, he didn’t bother to deal with it.

Last time a group of museums took down their own calligraphy and painting without spending any money, and gave Chen Xuan a disgusting meal.

Not to mention, this work is not yet his.

Chen Xuan washed his hands and said, “Three teachers, let’s go eat something together.”

“good.”

The three of them looked back and looked at it three times, how they really liked it.

I went out for dinner, and on the way back, several people separated.

When they were separated, Chen Xuan said, “Teacher Tao, I have something to trouble you.”

“If it’s not troublesome, just tell me if you have something to do.”

He likes Chen Xuan to trouble himself.

“For the school celebration tomorrow, I personally have a gift for Magic University. I want to use the four treasures of Teacher Tao’s study.”

“It’s easy, I’ll send it to you tomorrow. By the way, when will the school celebration begin?”

“I don’t know this yet. I’ll ask you later and call you later.”

“Okay, then I’ll wait for your call.”

After separation, Chen Xuan returned to the dormitory.

Rhubarb stared at the dragon carving for a long time, and when he passed by, the rhubarb felt uncomfortable all over.

This is also rhubarb. If you want to replace it with another animal, you have long been frightened by the charm and power carried by the dragon sculpture.

Chen Xuan didn’t take a bath, and the dragon sculpture was completed, but there are still processes behind.

He dialed Gao Shu’s phone and asked them to come over.

I hung up the phone and waited in the yard for half an hour. All the students from the same class came.

As soon as they entered the yard, they were attracted by the dragon sculpture.

Only by looking at the dragon sculpture face to face can they feel the sense of deterrence carried by this wooden sculpture, how strong it is.

It is no exaggeration to say that this dragon is just like alive!

It was too real, and at one point they began to wonder if there really were dragons in this world.

Chen Xuan asked: “When is the school celebration tomorrow?”

“It starts at ten o’clock in the morning.”

“Start in the morning?”

“Um.”

“Where?”

“square.”

“At that moment, I sent the wood carvings to the square and put them in the square. It happened to be painted tonight. I will definitely be able to do it one night, and I can make a direct appearance tomorrow.”Having said that, Chen Xuan suddenly remembered something and asked, “What do you think about this wood carving? Is it a gift or a gift?”

He knows the value of dragon carving.

Under his carving, this dragon sculpture is no longer an ordinary dragon sculpture.

Now, it depends on how they choose.

No matter how they choose, Chen Xuan has no objection, nor does he think they are greedy for money.

If you want to change to yourself, you must also choose money.

After all, it can sell for tens of millions by reselling. This kind of temptation can’t be held by ordinary people.

But what surprised him was that Gao Shu and Liang Haoran shook their heads without hesitation, “Send it to Magic University.”

“Wori, Niubi, is worthy of being a top-notch student, this is so enlightened!”

“A gift of tens of millions, just give it as you say it is. What are these two people’s minds pretending?”

“I will definitely not send it for me.”

“I won’t send it either.”

“Stupid, the teacher is Brother Chen. Since Brother Chen asks that, he will definitely not let them suffer.”

Chen Xuan will not let them suffer. The perfect solution to this matter is that they give the wood carving as a gift to the university according to the original plan.

Then, Chen Xuan will compensate them in other ways, such as if they graduate, come out to work, and start a company with them in the future, to compensate them.

Chen Xuan patted the shoulders of the two of them and said, “Go, send the wood carvings to the square.”

He picked up the wooden sculpture, put it on the cart, and walked towards the square with a group of students.

Twenty minutes later, they came to the square.

This is the largest square in Mordu University, with the national flag flying above the square.

The stage has been set up below, and the stage is surrounded by dense and neatly arranged chairs, which can seat thousands of people.

There is a gap of about fifty meters between the stage and the chairs.

Chen Xuan put the woodcarving on the very edge of the stage, which is unobtrusive.

After placing the position, he carried the tung oil and began to oil the woodcarving.

Oiling is mainly antiseptic and insect-proof, and oiling should be used for maintenance every few years.

After applying the oil, Chen Xuan said: “It’s all gone, go to bed early tonight, don’t sleep in tomorrow, don’t you know?”

“understood.”

“Ms. Chen went to bed earlier.”

“Goodbye, Teacher Chen.”

The students waved their hands and dispersed.

They left, Chen Xuan also took the rhubarb and left.

“Just leave? What about woodcarving?”

“Damn, Brother Chen is really big-hearted, so I just let go of tens of millions of things?”

“It shouldn’t be stolen in the university, it’s all monitored.”

“Who steals a few tons of things? This thief has the ability to steal things, right?”

Channel Wu: “Don’t worry about woodcarving. The program team has arranged a cameraman to go there. We will temporarily add a camera and a channel to guard the woodcarving in a 24-hour live broadcast. So you don’t have to worry about the safety of woodcarving.”

“The program team finally did something.”

“The fast-moving batch has already been opened.”

“The viewing angle is really good, professional videographers are not the same.”

The cameraman set the machine on a big tree, spaced 100 meters apart, perfectly incorporating the wood carvings and the surrounding scenery into the lens.In this way, if there is a thief, they will be able to see clearly.

After Chen Xuan went back, washing was a rest.

And the sky is getting darker and darker, and the night falls soon.

Mordu University fell into silence. The square was surrounded by lawns and woods…

And behind the woods, there is a low mountain.

About early in the morning, a yellow shadow suddenly sprang out of the grove. It was a weasel.

The weasel stopped running, poked his head and looked around, then continued to run.

As it ran, it came to the square. For some reason, it suddenly felt an uncomfortable breath enveloped its body.

It turned its head and looked at it, and a behemoth appeared in its sight as if it had been suppressed in an instant.

Seeing the appearance of this thing clearly, the weasel trembled all over in fright, only to feel that this thing was vicious and full of oppression.

The weasel’s limbs softened with a “pop”, his belly pressed tightly to the ground, and his head stuck to the ground. He bowed to this thing with five-body salutes. He didn’t dare to get up or move.

This thing is nothing but the dragon sculpture carved by Chen Xuan.

“Am I the fucking eye problem?”

Just as the weasel bowed to the ground, a security guard who was on the night shift looked at the phone and rubbed his eyes vigorously.

But no matter how he rubbed it, this temporary addition, the scene in the live broadcast room that was only watched by more than a thousand people, has not changed.

There was indeed a weasel lying on the ground.

The man stared at the weasel for a long time, not sure if the weasel was dead or if it really fell on the ground.

After all, animals do such a big gift…a bit too ridiculous.

So he watched the replay.

After watching the replay, he was even more confused.

Judging from the playback, this weasel had indeed lay down directly in front of the dragon carving.

But the question is, why doesn’t this weasel get up?

He tried to magnify the picture on the screen, and he couldn’t help but hum.

The enlarged picture shows that the body of this weasel is shaking…

Although the magnitude of the tremor is not large, it can be seen on a closer look.

It seemed to deepen his judgment. At this moment, a huge gray mouse ran out from nowhere.

At a distance of twenty meters away, the mouse paused and turned slowly.

Then, the mouse saw the dragon sculpture.

The next second, the man’s mouth opened wide.

He saw a scene that made him very familiar.

The mouse… also got down.

“I’m so hell!”

The man’s hand holding the phone almost couldn’t stabilize.

In the early hours of the night, the scene that took place in Magic University is now only seen by more than a thousand people in the live broadcast room.

After the mouse also got down, the live broadcast room suddenly became lively.

Its level of activity is simply hotter than many hundreds of thousands of online live broadcast rooms.
