Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 10 Copiers

Half-demon refers to the offspring of the union between the demon race and human beings. Half of them are humanoid, and half of them are beasts. They are collectively referred to as half-demons.

Aning recruited all the former.

It is also very simple to distinguish half-demon. Although these half-demon have the shape of humans, they still have some demon characteristics, such as furry ears or tails.

In order to live in human society, they will try to cover up these characteristics.

In view of the tens of thousands of years of enmity between the human and demon races, no matter in human society or in the demon country, half demons are not welcome, and are regarded as unknown things.

They will be abandoned as soon as they are born, or even killed directly. Adult half-demons are even regarded as pariahs. Even if they are hired, they will do the dirtiest and tiring work with the least pay.

Of course, there are also some nobles who secretly raise female half-demons at home, thinking that they are obscene (harmonious), even if they are tortured to death, the government will not care.

Although the male half-demons have a strong physique and are born to practice martial arts, it is a pity that they have no martial arts skills and no training resources, so this talent is wasted.

If there is a male half-demon secretly practicing martial arts, once discovered, the government can directly lock him up and send him to prison.

Human beings despise half-demons, but are always vigilant. They are never allowed to have the slightest resistance. Most of them are sent to the mines to do hard labor.

Yize County is located on the border, so the probability of producing half-demons is naturally higher, and more than half of them are caused by cross-border monsters raping human women, and they are not responsible.

No wonder Aning was able to recruit so many half-demon at once.

"You, come here!" Qian Yuan casually summoned a maid.

Although the other party was wearing a plain maid costume, she couldn't conceal her natural charm. She had long hair draped over her shoulders, and her eyes like water droplets seemed to be able to talk.

Qianyuan swallowed secretly and almost made a fool of himself, "What's your name?"

"Slave Qing Ying."

"Put your hair out."

"promise!"

Qing Ying parted her long, smooth hair shyly, revealing a pair of pointed ears. What was even more strange was that those ears were blue in color with snake patterns around them, which should be the offspring of the combination of a snake demon and a human.

Look carefully, the pupil is also three flowers.

"Go ahead!"

Qian Yuan waved his hand to make Qing Ying retreat, greatly impressed by the magic of the Creator.

"Your Highness, a half-demon is an ominous thing and must not stay in the mansion." Uncle Zhong was firm.

"do not want!"

Aning was anxious, "Your Highness, they are very pitiful, please, please keep them." She did this partly because she couldn't find a servant, and partly out of sympathy.

This girl is full of sympathy sometimes.

Those half-demons stopped their work at this time, waiting for the judgment of fate.

If it was Qian Yuan before, he probably wouldn't disobey Uncle Zhong and drive away these half-demons directly, but the current Qian Yuan would not believe such absurd claims.

What an ominous thing, but the offspring of racial interbreeding.

Didn't humans also evolve from monkeys?Speaking of which, demons are the ancestors of human beings. We all come from the same origin, and there is no difference between high and low in essence.

Therefore, psychologically, Qianyuan does not reject the existence of half-demon. Of course, he will not be as sympathetic as Aning and ask: "Is it safe to keep these half-demon in the house?"

Qian Yuan was worried about whether the half-demon would engage in assassination, or poison the food. After all, the lower the family background, the easier it is for those who have been blinded since childhood to breed anti-human characters.

"That's not true, half-demon are very docile." Although Uncle Zhong disagreed, he still told the truth.

"Then stay!"

With no worries, Qian Yuan agreed.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Aning was delighted, and she knew that His Highness is a good person.

Uncle Zhong frowned. When Qianyuan saw him, he waved his hand and said, "Uncle Zhong, don't say any more. No matter if you are a human or a half-demon, as long as you live in the territory of the empire, you are all citizens of the empire and should be treated equally."

"Yes."

Uncle Zhong resentfully agreed.

…………

After dinner, Qian Yuan talked to Zhou Qing alone.

His guard captain was originally taciturn, but after the last battle damaged the foundation of martial arts, he became even more silent and didn't say a word for a long time.

His eyes were even less radiant than before, and his will was depressed.

This is not what Qian Yuan wants to see.

"sit down!"

Zhou Qing was really depressed these two days. He didn't regret taking Suiyu Wan. What made him uncomfortable was that since Xu Chu appeared, His Highness always took Xu Chu with him no matter where he went, and never left him.

How does this make him feel?
"Do you want to go out and practice?" Qianyuan asked.

"Ok?"

"The Fifth Battalion stationed at Yize Pass must be in your hands. I need a trustworthy general to sit at Yize Pass. Do you understand what I mean?" Qian Yuan looked directly at Zhou Qing.

As usual, the battalion officer of the fifth battalion had been transferred back to the Southern Army, and now a deputy battalion officer was temporarily acting as the battalion officer. Qianyuan was planning to push Zhou Qing to the position of battalion officer.

Originally, Xu Chu could do it too, but after all, Xu Chu is not from his own world, and he is not familiar with Dagan, and Xu Chu's specialty is not suitable for leading the army, so it is better to be a personal bodyguard with peace of mind.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Zhou Qing's eyes. It would be great if he could lead the army. He had fantasized about leading thousands of troops and galloping across the battlefield more than once.

"Then get ready!"

Qian Yuan stood up, patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder, and took the initiative to end the brief conversation.

Zhou Qing nodded heavily, and the corners of his eyes were a little wet. He misunderstood, His Highness is still that Highness, and his care and trust in him have never been discounted.

He shouldn't be shaken.

…………

Back in the room, Qian Yuan began to think about how to earn Lingshi.

The interest structure of Dagan has long been solidified, and the existing business opportunities are tightly controlled by the major chambers of commerce. Where there are opportunities to make money, after much deliberation, there is only another way to combine technology and cultivation.

In Yu Yutian, the most popular ones are weapon refiners, alchemists, talisman masters and formation masters.

Artifact refining and alchemy were first ruled out by Qianyuan. Firstly, both of them needed ground fire, and secondly, they needed monks of the strong soul stage and above to refine, which was not what Qianyuan could do now.

Arrays were eliminated, because the demand for array disks was small, and there was no market in Yize County.

In the end, there is only one item left.

The talismans are divided into primary, intermediate and advanced levels, corresponding to the monks in the three realms of body training, soul strengthening and before leaving the body. Only those who have reached the corresponding realm can activate the talismans of the corresponding level.

Before breaking through to the stage of entraining energy and possessing mana, talismans and magic tools are the main means of fighting for monks, and for monks in the forging stage who cannot drive magic tools, talismans are basically the only means.

Therefore, talismans, especially primary talismans, are very popular among monks and are the biggest consumables.

But to train a talisman maker, the cost is also huge. It is normal for a novice talisman maker to fail hundreds of times in a row. Only after making a talisman thousands of times, the success rate may gradually increase.

This still refers to the same kind of talisman, replaced with another kind of talisman. Although it cannot be said that it is still the same as a novice, the failure rate at the beginning is still astonishingly high.

It is impossible to cultivate a qualified talisman maker without tens of thousands of exercises.

How many people can bear this kind of material loss?
Therefore, monks seldom make talismans themselves, and generally choose to buy them.

Only those big chambers of commerce will train talisman makers at any cost, but they can only make achievements in primary talisman making. If they are asked to practice intermediate talisman, those chambers of commerce will also go bankrupt and cannot afford it.

After all, the higher the level of talismans, the more expensive the materials used.

Qian Yuan is not ignorant of making talismans. Making primary talismans is both difficult and easy, and it does not require the control of the power of the soul, nor the infusion of spiritual power.

Even ordinary people can draw symbols if they are talented.

It is difficult to say, because even the simplest primary talisman has very complicated patterns, often composed of dozens or even dozens of small patterns mosaiced and combined.

The pattern lines also show irregular changes in thickness and shade.

When drawing the talisman, the talisman maker must not only ensure that the size and shape of the pattern are exactly the same, but also the thickness and shade of the lines must be exactly the same, otherwise the drawn talisman will be a useless talisman.

And it cannot be modified.

This is an extremely huge challenge for low-level monks with weak souls. If the success rate reaches [-]%, they can be rated as excellent talisman makers.

Senior monks do have such control, but it's a pity that they don't even bother to draw elementary talismans.

Fortunately, even with only a 0.2% success rate, the Chamber of Commerce is still profitable. The material cost of a primary talisman is only 2 low-grade spirit stones, but the price is as high as [-] low-grade spirit stones.

Not counting other costs, the profit is astonishingly doubled, and even if labor costs, store rental costs, Lingshang tax, and other operating costs are included, the profit is more than doubled.

The more Qianyuan thought about it, the brighter his heart became. He thought of a technological product that could perfectly replace junior talisman makers, which is the copier that is very common on Earth.

Yu Yutian's copying technology is still at the stage of movable type printing. Not only can it not perfectly copy the changes in the thickness of the pen and ink, but the lines of the copy also have rough edges and thorns, which cannot meet the quality requirements of elementary talismans.

And these are a piece of cake for high-end copiers.

As long as he buys a copy machine, Qianyuan will have a top-notch charm maker with a [-]% success rate in making charms, who will never be tired and does not need to pay a salary.

What's even more frightening is that this "talisman maker" is astonishingly efficient. It only takes a second to perfectly copy a piece of primary talisman, which is unmatched by any talisman maker.

So, do you still worry about not earning Lingshi?
