Reborn Troops

Ms. Zhao took the bracelet and looked at it carefully, with a look of satisfaction gradually appearing in her eyes. "This is so beautiful, Zhou Wanwan, you and Qianqian are so great."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian smiled at each other, and the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground...

In Zhou Wanwan's jewelry store, antique necklaces hang all over the walls, each of which is like a messenger traveling through time and space, telling an ancient story. The lights in the store are soft, as if even time has slowed down here. However, Zhou Wanwan frowned today, as there was an order in front of her, and the requirements written on it made her feel unprecedentedly challenged.

"Wanwan, what's wrong? You look worried." Best friend Qianqian walked into the store and noticed at a glance that something was wrong with Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan sighed and handed the order to Qianqian, "Look at this order, a Taoist priest wants me to make a Pixiu bracelet, and he also wants the Pixiu's eyes to be able to move. How is this possible!"

Qianqian took the order and looked at it carefully. "This request is indeed a bit excessive, but Wanwan, don't you always like challenges? This is a good opportunity to show your creativity."

"Creativity?" Zhou Wanwan smiled bitterly. "This is no ordinary challenge. I don't even know how to make the Pixiu's eyes move."

"Don't worry, let's think of a solution together." Qianqian sat next to Zhou Wanwan, and the two began to discuss.

As time went by, Zhou Wanwan's brows furrowed more and more, while Qianqian kept coming up with all kinds of wonderful ideas. Suddenly, Qianqian's eyes lit up, "Wanwan, do you think we can use mechanical principles to achieve this? For example, make a small mechanism to make the eyes of the Pixiu move with the swing of the bracelet?"

After hearing this, Zhou Wanwan's eyes also flashed a gleam, "This is a solution, but I have to study the mechanical structure first."

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan devoted almost all her time to research. She read a lot of information and even consulted mechanical engineers. Finally, after countless attempts and failures, Zhou Wanwan found a feasible method.

She designed an ingenious mechanical device that can drive the Pixiu's eyes to rotate with the slight swing of the bracelet. When she first saw the Pixiu's eyes rotate with the swing of the bracelet, she was overwhelmed with joy.

However, just as Zhou Wanwan was about to hand over the finished product to the Taoist priest, a new problem arose. She found that although the mechanical device could make the eyes of the Pixiu move, the movement seemed too stiff and lacked agility.

"What should I do?" Zhou Wanwan fell into deep thought again.

Qianqian looked at Zhou Wanwan and comforted her softly, "Wanwan, you've done a great job. Maybe we can adjust the mechanical structure to make it more natural."

Zhou Wanwan nodded. She knew that although this challenge was difficult, it was also a great opportunity for her to show her skills. She decided not to give up and keep working hard until it was perfect...

In Zhou Wanwan's jewelry store, a ray of sunlight shines through the window onto her workbench, illuminating the Pixiu bracelet in her hand. She is concentrating on adjusting the delicate mechanical device, trying to make the Pixiu's eyes move more naturally.

"Wanwan, are you still busy with this?" Qianqian walked into the store with two cups of coffee in her hand and handed one to Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan took the coffee and sighed, "Yeah, I always feel that the current effect is not good enough. Although the Pixiu's eyes can move, they still look too stiff."

Qianqian sat down and looked at the bracelet in Zhou Wanwan's hand. "You have done very well, but I understand your pursuit. Have you ever thought about trying some new methods?"

Zhou Wanwan shook her head. "I've tried many methods, but none of them worked. I even considered using electronic components, but that would ruin the overall beauty of the bracelet."

Qianqian pondered for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Wanwan, have you ever considered using magnetism? For example, embedding small magnets in the eyes of the Pixiu, and then installing a device that can generate a magnetic field on the bracelet, and controlling the movement of the eyes through changes in the magnetic field?"

After hearing this, Zhou Wanwan's eyes flashed with excitement, "This is a novel idea! I can give it a try."

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan started a new attempt. She bought a micro magnet and a magnetic field generator and began to design a new mechanical structure. After many experiments, she finally found a way to make the eyes of the Pixiu move in a more natural and smooth way under the influence of the magnetic field...

When Zhou Wanwan tested the bracelet again, the Pixiu's eyes seemed to come alive. As the bracelet swung, the eyes moved smoothly and agilely. She excitedly called Qianqian, "Qianqian, come and see! The effect this time is really good!"

Qianqian walked over and looked closely at the Pixiu's eyes. "Wow, it's true! Wanwan, you did it! The eyes move as if they are alive."

Zhou Wanwan showed a long-lost smile on her face. "Yes, I didn't expect that magnetism would have such a good effect. Now, I can safely hand this bracelet to the Taoist priest."

However, just as Zhou Wanwan was about to pack up the bracelet, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the store. A man in strange clothes walked in, his eyes were sharp, staring directly at the Pixiu bracelet in Zhou Wanwan's hand.

"Are you Zhou Wanwan?" The man's voice was low and majestic.

Zhou Wanwan nodded, "Yes, who are you?"

"I'm a friend of that Taoist priest. I heard that you made a Pixiu bracelet, so I came here to take a look." The man said, his eyes never leaving the bracelet.

Zhou Wanwan's heart tightened, but she still handed the bracelet to the man politely. The man took the bracelet, looked at it carefully, and nodded, "Well done, but..."

Zhou Wanwan's heart was in her throat. "But what?"

The man smiled slightly. "However, I think this bracelet still lacks a little spiritual energy. If you can add some special materials, such as moonstone, to the eyes of this Pixiu, it may make it more spiritual."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. Moonstone is a legendary gem that can absorb the essence of moonlight and is extremely rare.

"Moonstone..." Zhou Wanwan murmured to herself, "This is indeed a challenge, but I am willing to try."

The man nodded. "Very good. I look forward to your work." Then he turned and left the shop.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the man's back, her heart filled with new determination. She knew that this would be another major challenge in her career, but she was ready to meet it.

Zhou Wanwan stood at the door of the jewelry store, watching the mysterious man disappear around the corner. Her heart was filled with a desire for unknown challenges and a yearning for the moonstone. Qianqian walked up to her and asked softly, "Wanwan, are you really going to look for the moonstone? It's a legendary gem, and we don't even know if it really exists."

Zhou Wanwan turned to look at Qianqian, with a determined light in her eyes, "I must try, not only to fulfill the Taoist's request, but also for myself. I want to create jewelry that truly has a soul."

Qianqian nodded, "I understand. I will support you. Let's go find the moonstone together."

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian began intensive preparations. They consulted a large number of ancient books and materials, trying to find clues about the moonstone. Finally, in a tattered ancient book, they found a possible clue: the moonstone is said to be hidden in the distant Moon Shadow Mountain, and only on a full moon night will it show its true light.

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian decided to go to Yueying Mountain on the next full moon night. They prepared the necessary equipment, including mountaineering tools, tents and enough food. On the night before departure, Zhou Wanwan was busy in the store. She carefully wrapped the Pixiu bracelet and placed it in a special box, ready for the final processing after finding the moonstone...

On a full-moon night, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian set out on a journey to Yueying Mountain. The mountain road was rugged, the night breeze was cool, and the moonlight sprinkled on the mountain road like mercury, adding a bit of mystery and tension to their adventure.

After several hours of trekking, they finally reached the top of Moon Shadow Mountain, where they saw a huge stone tablet with ancient characters engraved on it, which seemed to tell the secret of Moonlight Stone.

"Look here, Qianqian, it says 'Under the moonlight, the stone reveals its true shape'. We should wait here." Zhou Wanwan said, pointing at the stone tablet.

The two found a flat place to set up the tent, quietly waiting for the guidance of the moonlight. Time passed by, the moon gradually rose to the middle of the sky, and the moonlight became brighter. Suddenly, a strange light shot out from under the stone tablet, illuminating the entire mountaintop.

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian immediately ran to the source of the light and found a hidden cave there. They walked in without hesitation. The interior of the cave was full of strange minerals, and at the deepest part of the cave, a stone emitting a faint blue light lay quietly there.

"Is this the moonstone?" Qianqian exclaimed.

Zhou Wanwan carefully picked up the stone, feeling the faint energy it emanated, "Yes, I feel it is different. This must be the moonstone."

Just as they were about to leave the cave, they suddenly heard a strange sound. Looking back, they saw several strange-looking creatures slowly approaching them. The eyes of these creatures flashed green in the dark, looking mysterious and dangerous.

"What is this?" Qianqian asked nervously.

Zhou Wanwan held the moonstone tightly, “I don’t know, but we must be careful.”

The two stood back to back, ready to deal with possible dangers. As the creatures got closer and closer, Zhou Wanwan suddenly had an idea and raised the moonstone above her head. The light of the moonstone instantly increased, illuminating the entire cave. The creatures seemed to be frightened by the light, stopped, then slowly retreated, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that although this adventure was full of unknowns and dangers, they succeeded. They returned to the jewelry store safely with the moonstone.

In the following days, Zhou Wanwan skillfully embedded the moonstone into the Pixiu bracelet, which became more lively and mysterious with the blessing of the moonstone. When the Taoist friend came to the store again and saw the finished bracelet, his eyes lit up with admiration.

"Zhou Wanwan, you did a great job. This bracelet has exceeded my expectations." The man exclaimed.

Zhou Wanwan smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment. She knew that this was just the beginning of her career, and there would be more challenges and miracles waiting for her in the future.

Zhou Wanwan stood on the street of Jingdezhen, facing a busy ceramic market. Her eyes wandered over the exquisite ceramic handicrafts, but she had her own ideas in mind. She knew that if she wanted to make her jewelry store stand out, she had to have a unique design. And blue and white porcelain, this ancient and charming art form, was the answer in her mind.

"Wanwan, are you really planning to use blue and white porcelain to make jewelry?" Her best friend's gentle voice interrupted her thoughts.

Zhou Wanwan turned her head and looked at Qianqian, with a determined light in her eyes: "Yes, Qianqian. I want to try something new to make our store more distinctive."

Qianqian nodded in support: "I agree with your idea. But are you really confident that you can design something that will impress people?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled slightly and said confidently: “I will try my best. Besides, I already have some preliminary ideas.”
