For the next period of time, Joel spent his time immersed in gem carving.

The Gemstone Association also quickly provided a batch of gemstones for Joel to practice. In terms of selection, they are all gemstones that have reached A-level quality. Each gemstone can build a small world. Normal phoenix-level carvers probably only use this kind of gemstones.

The gems are carved, and gems above S level are only used in a few cases.

Providing gems carved by a carver is nothing to the Gemstone Association, even if the gems provided are high-quality gems. However, due to the long backlog, there has already been a considerable number of gems, which can even be said to be gems.

Most of the backlog of gems in the association's headquarters are high-quality gems, and low-quality gems are not worth collecting.

But even if they didn't care about the speed at which Joel consumed gems, they were still shocked by Joel's carving speed.

It takes an average of several minutes to complete a carving. A normal carver, even if it is a simple carving, will take more than this time. And the work carved by Joel is obviously not in the simple category. Any carver, even the famous dragon

A top-notch engraver will also need at least several hours, and those who pay more attention to details will spend days or even months.

Is it possible that the casting of magic power can help improve efficiency? The Gemstone Association attributes Yoel's high efficiency to the use of magic power.

Along with this high efficiency comes a high wear rate. Even dragon-level carvers will inevitably make mistakes when carving, and a mistake in carving details cannot always be recovered.

This will lead to a massive loss of the value of the entire gem, and will even be devastating in the context of constructing the world. In a world with gaps and flaws, no one can stay in it safely. Even in a world evolved from time stasis

There is no such thing as death, but pain does exist, and no one wants to experience the feeling of death.

Under normal circumstances, the attrition rate of gem carvers above Phoenix level is already very low. Carvers at this level will often not make mistakes as long as they do not deliberately increase their speed. Even if they maintain a relatively fast efficiency

When engraving, the loss rate is only about 20%.

The loss rate reported by Joel was 50%. Originally, the Gemstone Association did not have too much doubt about this loss rate. After all, to maintain such a speed in making gemstones, just one distraction would cause the carving to fail, let alone the failure of the carving.

In the case of controlling magic power, magic control is like a person who is accustomed to his right hand and suddenly controls his left hand. He also needs to use his left hand to perform delicate work such as threading needles. This is not a delicate job that can be accomplished overnight.

But after Joel used an explanation to seize the gem, both Hu Feng and Chen Kang responded with the greatest suspicion.

"The damaged gem is too ugly, so just put it in my pocket first."

Look, this is basically saying "There is no three hundred taels of silver here". After thinking about it for a while, I realized that Joel was definitely greedy.

As for how much this part occupies, it remains to be investigated.

In the next period of time, Hu Feng and Chen Kang focused their attention on Joel.

But what surprised them was that Joel could still complete the carving 100% while maintaining the efficiency of carving.

"How did you do it?" Hu Feng asked in surprise. What he was thinking in his heart was whether magic power could really do such outrageous things.

After all, humans are not machines, and even machines are subject to wear and tear.

"Isn't this a matter of course?" Joel's answer was this.

Damaging treasure, even if it's one's own, is an unforgivable sin as a silver dragon who is greedy for money.

Every carving he made was just right, he worked hard every time, and he didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest while controlling the magic power.

Although Joel's performance was outrageous to a questionable level, there was no doubt that the deeper the shock he showed, the greater his chance of winning. As for the greedy 50% gem, Hu Feng and Chen Kang naturally chose to turn a blind eye.

, Chen Kang is a pedantic person, but his pedantism is in the field of scientific research, and he does not care too much about gemstones.

Joel had no intention of paying attention to the shock of the two of them.

He now focused his whole attention on gem carving.

Although the promised conditions require 50% of the gems from the Gemological Association, those gems refer to uncarved rough stones. Compared with the works that have been added to the carvers' skills and wisdom, these uncarved gems are worth less.

It is limited. This is why Hu Feng and Chen Kang agreed after negotiating with other directors.

However, Joel obviously did not pay attention to this. He simply believed that the gem that had not yet reached his claws did not belong to him.

Naturally, he would not let go of the opportunity to make treasure.

When Joel came to his senses, it was already the appointed time.

"Your Excellency Joel, have you never rested?" Hu Feng couldn't help but replied in surprise, with some worry in his voice.

In the constructed virtual world, sleep is also needed, but if you have to "stay up late to cultivate immortality", you can do it. There once was a person who pursued breaking records, so he stayed up for more than a month. So he was staying up

After that, he fell asleep and showed a period of mental disorder.

Joel expressed his nostalgia.

Sleep, that is a distant word.

Naturally, after receiving the gift from the Dragon God, Joel no longer had this concept.

"The more developed the brain, the less need for sleep. Mr. Joel can do precise work without making mistakes, which is enough to show that staying up late to this extent is nothing to Mr. Joel. Your worry is

Superfluous."

Hu Feng was not worried about Joel's health.

But I am worried about whether Joel can have the energy to complete the challenge.

Today is already the appointed time. After staying up for so many days, can Joel really compete as a representative in the best condition?

"How about you take a rest first? When it's time, I'll wake you up." Hu Feng still felt uneasy.

As a person who puts interests first, he has the same characteristics as being good at negotiation, and his caution seems to be innate.

"I think we don't have this time, the other party has already arrived." Chen Kang said.

"What the hell, it's not a product promotion, why do these guys smell like they smell something fishy?"

Hu Feng started yelling, and the reason for his yelling was nothing else. From a time perspective, it was only around seven or eight in the morning, and under normal circumstances, any challenge or meeting would be handled according to normal requirements.

If you go, it would be early to start this challenge in the evening after completing this procedure. It is precisely because of this that Hu Feng asked Joel to rest first.

"The other party wants to come, but we don't want to give us time to prepare. The longer the time is left, the more likely it is that it will appear..."

"Yao Mozi." Hu Feng took over, "But with their strength, there is no need at all."

The main server, as a new camp of mankind, can be said to be unprecedented in its development.

The secondary server is different. Migration that occurred because of problems with high-level decision-making was not promoted at all, and most of the people who chose to migrate were ordinary members who had previously been unhappy with their lives, not elites. Moreover, the primary server was naturally interested in the secondary server.

It has an effect similar to the siphon of a large city. Many elite personnel will be attracted away. The talents of the sub-server leave through special channels, resulting in the loss of a large number of talents. It can be said that the strength of the two sides is not equal from the beginning.

That's why the Gemstone Association becomes so nervous when the other party makes threats.

"Who said that strong people must let go when faced with weak ones." Chen Kang said, "I have received news from other directors. They have already asked our contestants. They asked us if we need to delay the period.

time?"

"Why are you delaying?" Joel patted his chest and urged, "I'm in a hurry to get my reward."

Every time a gem stays with the Gem Society, it becomes more of a torture for Joel.

Under the circumstances where Joel already regards these gems as his own private property, letting others keep his treasures is unacceptable to the Silver Dragon.

"It's a strange statement. Normally, it should be about whether you are prepared, but Mr. Joel... you really don't need time to prepare?" Hu Feng said.

"I have to make preparations and clean out my treasure house, but this preparation only takes a few seconds. My books are big enough." Joel added in a low voice.

Such words make people stunned and speechless.

On the one hand, I can't understand how the size of the book has anything to do with your treasure trove.

But I have to say that the confidence revealed in the words at least makes people sound more confident.

"Then... let's go." Chen Kang nodded.

Through the convenient function of coordinate movement, the two of them arrived at the meeting place in one go.

Something surprising happened. When they arrived, the game seemed to have already begun.

"What is going on?" Chen Kang's calm voice was filled with confusion.

"..Why did you start?" Hu Feng's voice was also trembling and angry.

Although the other directors expressed their distrust of Joel from the beginning, after discussion, they accepted the situation.

But when they came back, everything changed. It seemed that Chen Kang and Hu Feng had been excluded from the beginning.

Breaking the promise after agreeing to it is an unacceptable move for the Gemstone Association, which develops on a "commercial" basis.

"I know that you have already agreed to each other, but really... it is better to believe in a dragon-level sculptor of your own power than to trust a phoenix-level sculptor who is also a member of the other party. Besides, his gem loss rate is...

It’s as high as 50%, and I don’t want to depend on the fate of tossing a coin.”

Even if there were directors, they responded.

He deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was worried that his voice would affect the engraver on the stage.

When you are controlling magic power, you are most afraid of being disturbed, not to mention that carving is a delicate job.

He never forgot to remind him, "It's okay to complain, but keep your voice down when you speak. The game has already begun and no one can change it, so just adapt to the situation."

Hu Feng didn't know how to refute for a while.

After all, as he said, the game has already begun, and there is no point in arguing now.

The second thing is that his words are indeed difficult to refute.

On the one hand, although Joel's sculpting skills previously displayed were superb, he was not truly at the top.

Even in the Gemstone Association, there are six dragon-level carvers, and these people all surpass Joel in carving skills.
