Chapter 36: Mage's Electric Claw
Chapter 36: Mage's Electric Claw
The next morning, Fang Yu whistled as he left Jinyu Mansion.
Before leaving the community, he went to the property gate and used the magician's hand to delete the surveillance videos of him appearing at the door of Wang Xiaoya's house last night and today.
Fang Yu was also inspired by Youzi and discovered that the magic spells that Youzi often used were quite practical in real life.
Mage's Hand, a 0-level cantrip of the school of sorcery, is effective for one minute and has an effective range of ten meters. After casting, a floating invisible hand will appear at a point you specify within the casting distance.
The invisible hand persists until the spell ends or until you dismiss the spell as an action.
The invisible hand cannot carry anything heavier than 10 pounds, and likewise has no offensive power, and cannot cast spells through the wizard's hand.
If the invisible hand is more than ten meters away from you in a straight line, or if you cast the spell again, the existing invisible hand disappears.
If that's all, and you don't want to commit crimes, the magic trick of the Mage's Hand is not very useful in modern Da Zhou.
But the most interesting thing about this spell is that when controlling the wizard's hand, you can choose the perspective of the hand.
For example, Fang Yu uses the Mage's Hand downstairs in the monitoring room. When the Mage's Hand appears in the monitoring room, Fang Yu can see the situation in the monitoring room through the Mage's Hand, and then manipulate this hand to delete the surveillance video at the door of Wang Xiaoya's house.
Just like flying a drone, the perspective is even wider than that of a drone.
But this thing is much more concealed than a drone.
No noise, and it's invisible.
It's just that the distance is too close, otherwise the cliff would be a powerful weapon on the battlefield.
This time, the application of 0-ring spells in Wang Xiaoya's home gave Fang Yu an inspiration. Through the combination of spells, it is entirely possible to achieve nearly infinite spell effects.
Just like the basic invisibility spell is a second-level spell, it is a spell that Fang Yu cannot master at all at the moment.
And after casting the invisibility spell, you can still see a vague outline.
But now, Fang Yu has achieved an effect similar to invisibility through a combination of water shaping and arcane tricks.
Although there are external factors such as the lighting environment that affect it, it has been proven that through different spell combinations, 0-level spells can also play the role of higher-level spells.
If you use the Electric Claw on the Mage's Hand...
The Mage's Hand cannot cast spells, but what if you cast Electric Claw on the Mage's Hand?
Fang Yu said to try it. He first released a wizard's hand, and then mobilized a small ball of magic power to hit the symbol representing the electric claw.
Succeeded?
Fang Yu was not sure whether it was successful or not, so he controlled the wizard's hand to pick up the caterpillar that was weaving a cocoon on a big tree seven meters away.
With a "crackling" sound, the insect was completely turned into ashes by the electric claws. Fang Yu sensed that the wizard's hand also disappeared at the same time. He took two steps forward and saw the ashes that the inchworm had turned into were slowly falling.
Yeah! It works!
This compound spell could just as well be named Mage Electric Claw.
The electric claw can control the output power.
Hey hey hey.
Fang Yu was in a good mood and hailed a taxi that was waiting for work.
"Master, go to Xiangyun Building."
-
When Fang Yu left Jinyu Haoting, Wang Xiaoya was still lying in bed unable to move.
Fang Yu has decided to arrange special training for Wang Xiaoya's waist and leg muscles.
He still had to ask for leave in the morning. Fang Yu rarely asked for leave consecutively. Zhang Yun, the instructor of their class, even called him and asked about the situation.
There is no other way. If I don’t buy the diamond, Yuzu will go into hibernation tomorrow morning.
Before this, Fang Yu had contacted several cultured diamond manufacturers in Yuzhou, and the manufacturers gave him the phone numbers of several distributors.
After contacting the dealer, he bought a cultured diamond worth 30,000 yuan, but the express delivery has not arrived yet.
I didn't buy too many cultured diamonds, mainly because Fang Yu didn't know whether artificial diamonds could function as magic crystals. Moreover, artificial diamonds are really not cheap now, only about 20% cheaper than natural diamonds of the same quality. If Lorinta and Professor Jorz don't recognize this as magic crystal, I will lose money if I buy too much.
Therefore, in the short term, Fang Yu’s main purchasing direction can only be natural diamonds.
This time Fang Yu plans to buy some diamonds ranging from 10-point quasi-broken diamonds to one-carat main diamonds to see which one has the best cost-effectiveness when converted into magic crystal units.
The demand for diamonds will definitely increase in the future, so it is very important to have a stable supply channel.
There are not many diamond shops and studios in Haixi that specialize in loose diamonds. There are only four in total, and they mainly do customized diamond jewelry business.
Fang Yu visited two stores this morning and after chatting with the two proprietresses, he found that he had taken the idea of a stable supply channel for natural diamonds for granted.
This thing actually has a quota.
Of course, in a few years, with the development of cultured diamonds, the rigid regulations on natural diamonds may be relaxed, but today in the year 3061 of the Zhou calendar, the amount of goods that each jeweler and each diamond trading house can get each year is actually a fixed amount.
There is no problem with the quantity Fang Yu bought this time, but it will be extremely difficult to get the same amount of goods next time.
Unless you travel to several cities and communicate with the loose diamond shops in these cities.
Otherwise, just spend a lot of money and buy diamond jewelry directly.
In the end, Fang Yu went to two stores and spent less than 600,000 yuan, only to buy a total of 139 diamonds of varying qualities.
Don’t think it’s too little, it’s just this much. Thanks to Fang Yu’s sweet words, he kept calling the two proprietresses “sister”, which made them very happy and they were willing to sell so much to him.
Especially those small diamonds of about 10 points, initially the two proprietresses did not want to sell them.
After all, their main business is customized diamond jewelry, and the monthly consumption of broken diamonds is not small.
What was beyond Fang Yu's expectation was that the proportion of broken diamonds of 10 points or below in the inventory of these businesses was not high.
In terms of capital share, diamonds between 20 and 50 points account for the largest proportion in the inventory of these four banks.
Fang Yu only bought two diamonds over one carat. One was a round-cut, E color, 3ex cut, VS2 clarity, 1.03 carats, which she paid 1.1 yuan. The other one was slightly larger, 2 carats, but the color was slightly worse, only F, square cut, double ex cut, VVS clarity, which she paid yuan.
In addition, Fang Yu bought a total of 61 diamonds, most of which were between and points, with an average price of yuan per piece.
There is also a 1-point round diamond with D color, 3ex cut and IF clarity.
Because the quality of this coin was so good, Fang Yu spent 35,000 yuan to buy it.
Only seventy-five diamonds ranging from five cents to fifteen cents were purchased.
139 diamonds, arranged in order of price, each with a label attached, placed in a 4-layer storage box.
After buying the diamond, Fang Yu took a taxi again and went directly to National Taiwan University instead of returning to Wenhui Garden.
There are still two classes in the afternoon.
I just read Chapter 449 which was just updated by the Kindergarten Master. It is so well written.
This chapter is actually a preparatory chapter, with only 6000 words in total. Many characters appear, from Yi Yi at the very beginning, to Lin Lu, Shen Qingning, Zhang Qiqi, Liu Mihu, and even Jiang Wanzhou is mentioned.
The plots of each character are interspersed and collide with each other, but the main line of the story is always closely linked to Shen Qingning's self-abuse.
Although the protagonist did not go to the concert, his presence is not low at all. He has intersections with every character that appears in this chapter and becomes the hub of the character relationships in the entire chapter.
Readers may read a book just to see whether it is enjoyable or not, but as a writer, this chapter is really awesome.
Especially since it was written and published immediately without any drafts saved, the fact that I was able to write this paragraph clearly in such a short time shows my skill. It is no fluke that it ranked first in the monthly sales.
As an uneducated person, I can only say one thing: awesome.
