Chapter 126: Panda's Armor
Build armor?
Panda looked at the somewhat worn slatted armor on his body, and then looked at the exquisite full-body armor in front of him, and nodded naturally.
However, he still couldn't help but exhort: "What kind of armor? I don't want it... This is a work of art, not suitable for wearing to fight."
"If you want it, I'm still reluctant to give it!" Zhangsun Wu snorted coldly and took out a tape measure, "Take off the armor, and I'll measure the size for you."
"No problem... By the way, where did this tape measure come from?"
"I went to Tarakhan City to find someone to make it. There are tailors and armorers in this world, and naturally there are tape measures. But their tape measures are relatively small, which is a little awkward to use, so I specially hired someone to do it. One set is much more comfortable to use.”
Changsun Wu moved very quickly. After a while, he took the size of the panda's body. He recorded the size on a piece of wood, and then began to discuss the issues of materials and craftsmanship.
"In terms of materials, it is absolutely impossible to use precious materials like in the game." He said straight to the point, "It is absolutely impossible to use fine iron, not even fine steel."
"Refined iron is also good."
"Your requirements are really low! Shouldn't you say at this time, 'I'm waiting for you to make Olihargang's full-body armor for me in the future'!"
"Aojin's full body armor... Let's forget it. I remember that Aojin will wait until the map of the heavens is opened, and at least half of the heavens can be collected.
"Humph! When we were playing the game, all the soldiers in our castle wore full-body armor!"
Panda smiled and did not answer this topic.
When playing the game at the beginning, monsters and bosses are all refreshed infinitely. In order to obtain rare equipment and materials, as long as the dungeon refresh time is up, they will immediately go to greet several big bosses in heaven and hell. The Aojin full-body armor worn by the castle guards of the Reckless Earth Guild generally comes from the friendship gifts of these big men who stomped their feet and shook the world.
But now it is not playing games but reality. Those bigwigs may produce more than in the game, but they absolutely cannot be refreshed once a week as long as one day. Changsun Wu wants to get a large number of Aojin and build a large number of standard Aojin armor, I am afraid it is impossible.
However, he wouldn't say it out - Changsun Wu must know it anyway, it's nothing more than just talking about it.
Just like many people in the traversers often muttered, "If you encounter the guy who harmed us in traversing, you must beat him up" and so on - in fact, everyone knows that, whether there is such a guy or not, even if there is, And they also met each other. I'm afraid that the transmigrators don't have the ability to beat him at all. It's very possible to be criticized for "poor performance" and be beaten.
However, in life, people always have dreams. If there is no dream, what is the difference with salted fish?
Panda smiled, watching Changsun Wu ramble and talk to himself, while drawing and pausing on the sand table used as scratch paper to design armor for him.
After a long time, Changsun Wu finally stopped. He put aside the twig used as a pen, and said to the panda, "It's almost like this. Let's see if you can do it."
In the sand table, there is a set of armor full of stability.
It has clear edges and corners without any flamboyant edges. It uses "square" and "circle" as its themes. Although the painting is not lifelike, several key parts can be clearly seen - shoulders, helmet, chest, waist and crotch …All the decorative structures are mainly square, only the largest square on the chest is the icon of the suffering god, the old man who shelters the baby with the scarred body.
Such a pair of armor is generally a bit simple, but it is in line with the panda's character.
He looked at the chest of the armor, shook his head, and said, "Change the badge on the chest."
"Why don't you use this?" Zhangsun Wu asked.
"The picture of punching the earth with an iron fist." Panda said, "Our guild's monogram."
Changsun Wu smiled: "No problem!"
He laughed happily, and although he couldn't see his face through the helmet's mask, he could tell from his laughter that he was in a good mood.
"Now that the design is done, the next step is the work of the craftsmen. You should go somewhere else, don't get in the way here." After laughing, Zhangsun Wu began to chase away guests, "I will make things such as breastplates and armor as soon as possible. Parts such as the helmet are here, and I will let you replace them first. In order to improve my efficiency a little, you should go and collect some materials for me first.”
"What materials are needed?" Panda asked.
"It's mainly wax and cement," said Changsun Wu, "I need to use them to make models. For such a complex armor, I have to make a model first, and then I can modify it to the satisfaction of the model before I can actually build it. Metal is nothing. Something that can be easily built, with a model as a reference, can be more efficient.”
"Then where do I go to find wax and mastic?" Panda asked.
Changsun Wu laughed: "I don't know about that. I used it before and bought it directly from Tara Khan City. It's just glue. Wax is really not cheap!"
Panda disagrees - expensive? No matter how expensive it is, it's just wax.
When he was a child, the nearby small factories often used wax to make molds. Sometimes there was a lot of unrecycled wax in the waste sand molds. At that time, he and the neighbors children liked to go to the place where the factory threw the waste sand molds and broke them apart. A piece of waste sand mold, like a treasure hunt, find a piece of wax from the inside, and come back to make various small models.
So in his impression, wax is definitely not an expensive thing.
If it is really expensive, can people just throw it away?
but…
"What?!" Panda's eyes widened in fright after hearing the grocer's talk about the price of wax, and then he couldn't help digging his ears, and asked again, "You say it again!"
The grocer said it again.
This time Panda finally made sure that he heard correctly, his ears were normal, and there was no problem.
The problem is the price of the wax.
A piece of wax that weighs about a pound (half a kilo by Changsun Wu's standards) costs...a gold coin.
"Boss, are you mistaken? Why is it so expensive?" he asked loudly, "This is so much more expensive than meat!"
"How can meat be compared to wax?" The boss looked at him in astonishment, as if looking at a bun, "wax is collected from beehives, and beekeepers only produce a little bit of wax after a year. Even the nobles are not enough! If it weren't for my Lu Ziye and many friends, I wouldn't be able to get in the goods!"
Panda looked at the serious look on the boss's face, then looked at the piece of wax that was not much bigger than his fist, and sighed deeply.
"I hate this fantasy world with backward technology!" On the way back to the village, he felt his empty wallet and muttered to himself.
