Excellent puppet system

Chapter 17
In fact, Zhou Chen had already discovered that Zhang Min was peeping, but he didn't care, after all, he had signed a master-servant contract, so he had nothing to hide.

The parts of the puppet beetle are carved, and the next step is to carve the core formation.After so many days, Zhou Chen has been able to adapt to the core formation that is so complicated that it is almost dazzling.

I saw him unhurriedly carving the formation pattern on the core formation component the size of a fingernail.

It is still the kind of carving technique that seems to contain a special rhythm, and Zhang Min is fascinated by it.

After the carving of the formation was completed, Zhou Chen casually picked up a low-grade spirit stone and inlaid it, followed by the assembly of all the parts of the puppet beetle.

Zhou Chen had practiced this step many times, and he assembled all the parts of the puppet beetle with ease.

Suddenly, a lifelike puppet beetle appeared on the table.

The puppet beetle was finished, but Zhou Chen's mind did not relax.

Because the next test session is the most important thing.Whether this puppet beetle is a perfect product or a defective product depends on the test results!
With the infusion of his mental power, the puppet beetle immediately 'lived'. I saw that the puppet beetle took small steps at first, and occasionally spread its wings as thin as a cicada's wings to fly a short distance.

After about a dozen or so breaths, the puppet beetle seemed not satisfied with such a slow movement, and the speed of the puppet beetle suddenly accelerated by more than one notch.

The six slender legs moved so fast that with the naked eye, only the afterimages of the slender legs could be seen. Immediately afterwards, the puppet beetle flapped its wings, and its whole body jumped up like this. There was a graceful turn in the air, returning to Zhou Chen's palm.

Zhou Chen stopped pouring in mental power, and the puppet beetle also stopped immediately.

Zhou Chen is very satisfied with this puppet beetle. Although in every respect, it is still inferior to the puppet beetle he refined according to the simplified diagram given by the system, but the diagram is produced by the system after all.

And the formation diagram of this puppet beetle was taught by Lu Xiang.

There is an essential difference between the two.

On the other hand, Zhang Min was already stunned. She felt that the puppet beetle refined by Zhou Chen was even more powerful than the puppet beetle that Teacher Lu Xiang demonstrated in class that day!
She can be sure that the puppet beetle refined by Teacher Lu Xiang that day is absolutely inferior to the puppet beetle refined last morning in terms of flexibility and speed of movement!
After Zhou Chen put away the puppet beetle, his eyes turned to Zhang Min who was hiding at the door of the thatched cottage with half of his head exposed.

Seeing Zhang Min's stunned expression that was too late to put away, Zhou Chen couldn't help but smiled slightly, and said, "Xiao Min, if you want to see it, just come out and watch it. I didn't stop showing it to you. look."

Hearing this, Zhang Min blushed immediately, and walked out of the hut, clenched his hands together uncomfortably, and said a little embarrassingly: "Well, brother Zhou Chen, I just think you can refine puppet beasts. When sculpting, the whole person is very focused, and when sculpting, the movements are also very beautiful, so I don’t want to watch it for a while.”

Zhou Chen laughed again, and said, "If you want to watch it next time, just stand next to me and watch it!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Chen seemed to think of something again, so he asked again: "Xiao Min, where is the puppet beetle you made, show it to me."

After hearing Zhou Chen's question, Zhang Min's mood seemed to drop, and the expression on his face also changed from sunny to cloudy...

Just looking at Zhang Min's changing expression, Zhou Chen realized that Zhang Min hadn't successfully refined the puppet beetle yet.

So, Zhou Chen got up, rubbed Zhang Min's head, and said, "How about this, Xiao Min, you try to refine the puppet beetle again now, and I'll show you what the problem is."

Zhang Min raised his head immediately, with a flash of joy in his eyes, and asked in disbelief: "Really, you want to guide me yourself?"

It's no wonder Zhang Min couldn't believe it. After all, at this time, the time of each named disciple is extremely precious. Even if the puppet beetle is refined, he will continue to study it with great concentration and want to refine the puppet beetle. More perfect.

And at this time, Zhou Chen is willing to guide her, that is absolutely commendable.

Under Zhou Chen's reassurance, Zhang Min finally sat down, picked up the carving knife, and began to refine the puppet beetle.

When Zhang Min started to sculpt, Zhou Chen frowned, because Zhang Min's sculpting movements were really...

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Zhang Min's basic carving skills are passable, but in the eyes of Zhou Chen, who pursues perfection in everything, Zhang Min's carving movements are really appalling!
With her level of carving, even if the puppet beetle is refined, it is definitely and can only be a defective product!

Because this level of basic carving skills can't reach the level of refining a complete puppet beast!
As Zhang Min continued to sculpt, Zhou Chen's thoughts also turned. He remembered that these days, Zhang Min seemed to be focusing on cultivation, but the carving was put aside. No wonder her current engraving can only reach this level.

Zhang Min has been carving for nearly three hours before he finished carving all the parts. Although the parts are very irregular, such as six legs with different thicknesses, and two wings with different sizes and thicknesses, they are finally finished. .

Next is the carving of the core formation. I wonder if Zhang Min has worked hard on the core formation in the past few days. The core formation is such a complicated pattern that she can draw it without using a template.

Moreover, when engraving the core array, the movement is obviously much more agile than carving parts.

Although she still failed when she was carving the last few lines of the core formation, it was not so terrible after all.

After Zhou Chen pondered for a while, he revealed Zhang Min's shortcomings in the process of refining the puppet beetle. During this period, he emphasized that Zhang Min must practice more basic carving skills in the past few days.

After some exhortations, Zhou Chen said again: "The reason why you failed in the engraving of the core formation is because your understanding of the last few lines of the formation is not deep enough. You should practice carving the last few lines more. The formation diagram should be able to be completed. As long as the core formation diagram can be completed, then with your current level, you can at least refine a defective puppet beetle. This can at least guarantee that in this assessment, no one will be Get out."

With the help of the system, Zhou Chen's analysis of Zhang Min's flaws was very profound. Zhang Min felt that Zhou Chen's words were like enlightenment, and then she almost just greeted Zhou Chen in a hurry, and then devoted herself to carving. In the practice of basic skills.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Time flies by in a busy day.

Seven days passed by in a blink of an eye, and it was the day of the puppet beetle refining competition!
