What Is The Experience of Becoming a Vampire?

Chapter 112 Wood Carving

At three o’clock in the morning, it was dark outside, and Xiang Kun’s bedroom was still lit as usual.

Under a table lamp, Xiang Kun is slowly and carefully sanding a wood carving more than 20 cm high with fine sandpaper.

It was a female human-shaped woodcarving, wearing a two-dimensional skirt, holding a large two-handed sword, looking at the front, and a raised dead hair on the head. From the overall image, it should be a Cartoon characters.

This is a woodcarving carved by Xiang Kun himself.

Today is October 10, and tomorrow October 3th is Tang Baona’s birthday. This wood carving is the birthday present that Xiang Kun is going to give her.

On September 9, after receiving the “misunderstanding birthday gift” compound bow from Tang Baona, Xiang Kun began to think about how to return the gift.

Then he obtained the birthday of the three of them through some of their online information, and the driver’s license and other documents they had seen by accident.

Yang Zhener was on January 1, and Xia Libing was in April, and it was still very early. It’s Tang Baona’s birthday on October 3 and it won’t be long.

His original idea was to send a gift with a budget of about two or three thousand dollars, so based on his usual observations and the information left by Tang Baona’s various online accounts on the Internet, he analyzed it and inferred that she might like it. .

The final options are: 1. Hand-made or other anime peripherals that Tang Baona likes; 2. Audio recording equipment; 3. Some trinkets or ornaments with a sense of design; 4. Music-related peripherals or her favorite Out of print album.

But the problem is, from the perspective of Xiang Kun, although Tang Baona is not the kind of person who spends his money in a big way, he does not always lack money. The options of 1, 2, and 4, if she likes it, Basically, it has already been bought, and she must have chosen it herself.

From this point of view, it seems that only buying a small accessory that looks more like her usual dressing style, or a small design with a sense of design is a more secure option.

He also asked Yang Zhener and Xia Libing in private. The former said that he had a good intention. It did n’t matter what he sent, and Nana was n’t short of anything. Just make a big meal.

Xia Libing responded similarly to the last time she surveyed tastes: “You can do it, she doesn’t pick.”

Indeed, Xiang Kun knew that no matter what she sent, Tang Baona should not mind. She gave a hand-made or peripheral product that she already had or didn’t like very much, and she should accept it.

However, thinking about his mood when he received the compound bow as a gift before, this “random” always made him a little uncomfortable. He is very clear that the value of a gift is not just the price on the market, it is more dependent on the recipient’s love of the gift.

So after thinking about it, Xiang Kun prepared to make a woodcarving of Tang Baona’s favorite anime character Saber Altoria.

And the process of making it is also the process of several experiments he performed, which is the best of both worlds.

Of course, in order to avoid that he has not been able to make woodcarvings on October 10th, he also prepared the alternative PlanB. If this is not possible, I will send a crystal ornament from Swarovski that he thinks Tang Baona should like For gifts.

Xiang Kun has some fine art skills. It is not a big problem to draw a bottle, sketch a face and so on, but this does not mean that he knows how to sculpt.

However, it is for this reason that he wants to try to establish whether he can more quickly master the ability to use tools by establishing a super-sensory connection with the tools.

So before drinking blood on September 9, he bought five different engraving knives and three chisels to associate them.

In order to successfully associate, he specifically disassembled the bodies and handles of these tools, and reinstalled them after association. And he also found that after associating one of the same type and the same function, the other types of association time will be greatly reduced.

After waking up on the night of September 9, Xiang Kun first quickly watched a variety of tutorials and videos for more than ten hours, and then found a 17d picture of a saber character as a reference, and began to prepare a few previously prepared, roughly shaped Block practice wood for chiseling.

Although the established chisels and sculpting knives are established, they are indeed almost skilled enough to control, and he can apply what he has learned in the tutorials and videos steadily and move at will.

But the first four woods were still chiseled before entering the fine billet. Not to mention the big hair on the top of the head and the two-handed sword on the base, it was difficult to make the arm alone, and accidentally distorted it. Or broken.

In the fifth wood, Xiang Kun first made a finished product to look at the shortcomings, and achieved a semi-finished product. However, looking at the wood sculpture with a misaligned face, he couldn’t help but think of looking for reference before At the time of the picture, the “Evil God saber” seen on the Internet …

From the experimental results, after simply contacting the tools, only the control and mastery of the tools can be achieved, but when some other application variables are involved, they still need to adapt and practice in order to exert their due abilities.

It can also be deduced from this that if he can establish a complete connection with all the parts of a car in the future, he may know the condition of the car very well, and he will be able to use his arms while driving. However, if you are going to race with others, you still need to know the specific road conditions, the course of the track, the situation of your opponents, the weather conditions during the race, and other information in order to fully exert your driving strength.

Now, although he is very skilled in controlling chisels and operations, he still has problems with the familiarity with the material of the wood and the grasp of the contours.

Xiang Kun knows that if he does a lot of practice, he can start with simple, easy-to-use works, and should be able to make progress in a short period of time.

But his purpose is not to become a woodcarving master, so he temporarily stopped the production of woodcarvings. After all, he has a lot of things to do in each blood drinking period, not just learning to prepare gifts.

Before drinking blood on September 9, Xiang Kun spent an hour building a connection with two boxwoods that he had bought and had simply opened the materials.

Before starting to establish a connection, he took a small sample from these two pieces of wood, then softened, sliced, dyed, and loaded them. He observed under the Microscope to understand the surrounding structure of the two pieces of wood.

He had previously experimented with paper towels, A4 paper, and other things. In addition to understanding the weight, size, composition and other information, it can increase the speed of establishing connections, and observe the onlooking structure of the target. It can also greatly increase the speed and success rate.

Xiang Kun intends that if the two boxwoods that have been connected are smashed again, they can only use PlanB, the crystal ornaments that they bought and bought. Otherwise, if they go further, he will really become a sculptor …

Fortunately, after waking up on September 9, after spending more than ten hours making a piece of wood, the second piece of wood finally reached his expectations, and gradually improved to the finished product.

The engraving knife with which he has established a super-sensory connection operates on the wood with which the super-sensory connection is established. It really needs to be more free and stable, just like the communication between two old friends.

In fact, he finished the finished product on September 9.

Today, he just took it out again, checked it again, polished it a little bit and then oiled it to make the whole woodcarving in the best condition.

Although from the perspective of his slightly obsessive-compulsive disorder, there are still many improvements to this woodcarving, and there are still many flaws, but as the first work, it is basically qualified.

It was dawn unconsciously, and Xiang Kun picked up a cell phone with a scar and a cracked screen, and saw him and Tang Baona among the four of them. Tang Baona said that he was already at the airport, and would be able to go to the city at more than 10 pm this evening. .

Xiang Kun actually planned to invite Tang Baona and Yang Zhener to dinner in advance this evening, personally cook a few newly developed dishes, and then gave her a gift by the way. However, Tang Baona the past few days, the family went abroad to attend a relative’s wedding, and they can only come back tonight, and that is only to find another opportunity to give her tomorrow.
