Chapter 4 Workshop Master
Author: seedless melon
This was the first time Truman met the owner of the workshop.
On the incense couch, she was wearing a long robe, black on the outside and red on the inside. The black robe was covered with a large number of golden embroideries, which were in full bloom. Occasionally, it rolled up, revealing a pair of slender white long straight legs, which contrasted with the exposed snow-white shoulders of her upper body.
Become a beautiful picture.
In this cold and hungry industrial society, this picture was extremely impactful. Truman only saw three colors in his eyes: white, black, and red, and could not distinguish her appearance for a moment.
This style of painting is wrong.
It's like the character of Onmyoji breaks into the game screen of Cyberpunk 2077.
…
clang clang.
The long cigarette rod in the workshop owner's hand tapped the edge of the bed where she lay.
"what's your name?"
Lazy voice.
Truman was still staring at the workshop owner's long legs. It was not because of lust, but simply due to the slowness of consciousness caused by the low 'share'. His eyes stopped at the place that attracted him the most.
Anton pushed Truman and Truman reacted.
"My name is Truman."
After giving his name, Truman began to observe the owner of the workshop carefully. For some reason, the extremely delicate and capable beauty in front of him always gave Truman an incongruous feeling that his painting style was wrong.
Is it because she possesses extraordinary power? Or is it because Truman’s ‘share’ is too low and causes confusion?
"In one day, you translated a key 'continuous word'. You have great potential~" the workshop owner said, "Well, you have to be rewarded~"
A shiny gold pound bounced out from her fingers and landed on the soft carpet at Truman's feet.
Truman's eyes followed the gold pound and stayed on the carpet for a few seconds. Then he raised his head and caught one of the several thoughts flying in his mind.
"Master Boss, do those words represent some kind of 'ritual'?"
Before the workshop owner could respond to Truman's question, Anton had already sternly scolded him: "This is not knowledge you are qualified to know!"
"If this is some kind of ritual, then I can help you decipher more mysterious texts. I know they have more continuity..."
Truman could not continue to speak because Anton had strangled his neck with his arms and wanted to drag him away.
Anton was very strong, standing 1.80 meters tall. Although Truman was not short either, Anton was surprisingly strong. Truman was dragged down immediately and could not struggle.
"Anton~" The workshop owner's voice was still lazy, but it had a hint of coldness, "Is it your turn to make the decision here?"
Anton was startled and quickly let Truman go.
Truman was bent over and coughing violently on the ground. Anton was trying to kill him.
Then Truman saw a foot in front of him. The arch of the foot was like the moon, and it was as white and tender as snow. The toes in particular were painted with the color of Danko, which was particularly attractive.
"What did you see?" the workshop owner's voice floated down from above.
As Truman stood up, he resisted looking inside the workshop master's widely open robe.
"I see more 'continuity'."
Truman said that at this time his 'share' was also close to the warning line, but this was the best opportunity.
This was the closest opportunity to have contact with those extraordinary powers since time travel, so he gritted his teeth and stayed awake.
"The words I translated today are the three words 'Seven Stars and Lamps'. They are continuous and have power, but they are definitely not just these three words. There are more. I believe I can find more
More continuity, more mysterious texts to translate..."
Truman's speech has become a bit confusing, but the content is still very clear.
The owner of the workshop did not speak, but looked at Truman carefully.
Truman looked at her and felt that there seemed to be two pupils in her eyes, and then the two pupils began to rotate, like a pair of twin stars, rotating in the infinite universe, and then spinning faster and faster.
Immediately afterwards, the voice of the workshop owner seemed to come from a distant other world.
"You lead a team and choose two people to help you translate. If you do well, I will consider accepting you as a student~"
Truman nodded blankly and went home in a daze. During the whole process, he was almost unconscious. There were only three words running in his mind: 'Seven-star lamp, seven-star lamp, seven-star lamp, seven-star lamp, seven-star lamp...'
…
Thanks to the multiplication table.
Thank you Guo Degang.
Thank you Baixiang Instant Noodles.
On Earth, in front of the computer, Truman restored his 'share' by relying on multiplication tables and cross talk, while devouring instant noodles to replenish his strength.
On the notepad in front of him, stained with a few oil stains, was written his biggest achievement in translating mysterious texts during the three months of traveling:
‘Seven Star Lamp’.
On the computer screen, there is an article "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" open, with the original text on it:
"...I am familiar with the method of praying for mercy, but I don't know what God's will is. You can lead forty-nine soldiers, each holding a soap flag and wearing soap clothes, to surround the outside of the tent; I will pray to the Beidou from within the tent. If seven
If the main lamp is not extinguished during the day, my life span will be extended by one century..."
Not right either.
In the past few months, Truman has translated nearly a hundred or dozens of mysterious texts intermittently, and not many of them can match the original text of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
"Maybe it's just a coincidence... It's unlikely that I traveled to a parallel world on Earth..."
When Truman saw the three mysterious words "Seven Star Lantern", he immediately thought of "Zhuge Liang" and "Wuzhangyuan".
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Truman has not read the original text carefully and has also watched the TV series. The words above are too familiar.
So Truman wondered if he had traveled to another version of the earth, and the owner of the workshop was actually doing archeology.
But now when I read the original text of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I found that there was no word "Seven Star Lantern" in the original text, so it was still wrong.
"It's just not right."
Truman patted his head.
The 'share' hasn't been restored yet. This wonderful association is not logical at all.
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a novel, not a history. In real history, there is no such thing as "Zhuge Liang's seven-star lamp and one star to extend his life."
So unless the owner of the workshop is a lover of historical novels, and both worlds have Luo Guanzhong and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", then the "Seven Star Lantern" is the "Seven Star Lantern" in Truman's imagination.
Otherwise it would just be a coincidence.
In order to verify this guess, Truman wasted 30 minutes.
He only has 10 minutes left.
Truman wrote the next goal on his notepad.
"The most important thing is to get close to the owner of the workshop and gain knowledge. The mysterious text may not be a ritual, it may be..."
There is a blank space after "maybe". Truman cannot guess what is behind the mysterious words. Is it a resource? Is it some kind of mysterious product? Is it a weapon?
In short, we are getting closer and closer to the truth.
Before the end of this time travel and return, Truman took out the bottle of medicine and thought about it but still didn’t take it.
This medicine still has side effects. Although it is very effective, it cannot be taken every day. Anyway, I will travel back and forth every day, so there is no rush.
The source of this drug was a country famous for its generic drugs. Truman found a way to get to know a drug dealer who had channels in that country.
Since this spirit-boosting potion is effective, Truman feels that he can buy more potions that are effective for the human body.
