Douluo: Starting with Grayxiu, the power of the star god is added

Chapter 18: Making Pigments
Under the strange gaze of the hotel waiters, Lang Lei returned to the hotel carrying large and small bags of ore.

As for why it is not placed in the system space or storage soul guide...

The reason was not that complicated. Lang Lei simply forgot because he was too excited.

After all, it feels good to do something with your own hands.

As large and small bags of ore were placed on the floor of the room, the system rang in response.

"Ding, the host's intention has been detected, and the accompanying tasks are now being issued."

【Engagement Task: Pigment Production
Mission content: The paint that little Greyshu had when she was summoned is gone. In order to make little Greyshu happy, the host now needs to make paint of sufficient quality to make little Greyshu happy.

Mission Reward: Soul Level +2, Passive Skill Card of the First Martial Soul Earth Dragon Dust of random quality, Chance to Sublimate the Paint you Made x1. 】

"Hmm? The system has released a task?" Lang Lei was quite satisfied with this unexpected surprise. After all, who would complain about having too much reward?

"Little Grayshu, do you want to take a rest first?" Lang Lei soaked all the ores in water and began to use his soul power to clean the dirt and impurities on the surface of the ores.

"I want to help." Gray Xiu said seriously.

Lang Lei was speechless, then smiled and rubbed little Gray Xiu's hair: "Okay, let's try it together!"

"it is good!"

-

Making mineral pigments is not an easy task, there are many steps:

The first step is ore selection. Lang Lei and Gray Xiu have already done this step. The ore they chose is also the best quality one. Even the yellow pigment is directly made of gold soul coins...

The second step is what Lang Lei is doing now - soaking. The ore is soaked in water for a period of time to wash away the sludge and impurities. This step helps to improve the purity and stability of the pigment.

Grace was unusually childish and splashed water on Lang Lei's face with her little hands, then started giggling.

Seeing this, Lang Lei also smiled, and took the opportunity to give the man a taste of his own medicine.

After the lively washing, the third step is crushing. Use a mortar and pestle to grind the ore into fine powder, but Lang Lei and Gray Xiu can choose to crush the ore directly with soul power. But this process still requires patience and time to ensure the fineness and uniformity of the pigment.

Besides, Lang Lei actually bought a lot of paint...

This step is quick, after all, it is equivalent to cheating...

The next step is screening, where the fine powder is collected through a sieve and coarse particles are removed, further improving the purity of the pigment.

This step can also be solved by using martial soul. After all, Lang Lei's martial soul is Earth Dragon Dust. Although delicate control is not possible, it can still be done by screening.

It’s just that Grayshu was a little bored at this step and could only watch Lang Lei perform the operation.

The next step is to grind the sieved ore powder for the second time. This step also requires a mortar, which Lang Lei had the foresight to buy.

But there is only one...

After all, Lang Lei had never intended to let Grayxiu take action.

But this is not a problem. Lang Lei directly used Earth Dragon Dust’s first soul skill to pinch one out. It is very solid.

While grinding, this step also requires adding an appropriate amount of water to the mortar and grinding the pigment to achieve the desired fineness.

This step may need to be repeated until the pigment reaches the desired concentration and texture.

Grayshu had quite a few insights into this, and Lang Lei obediently listened to Grayshu's opinions and added his own.

Next, precipitation is performed.

The principle of gravity sedimentation is used to separate the pigment into coarse and fine layers, remove impurities, and obtain a thick slurry of fine material.

This step was very quick, the reason was very simple, the waiting time was too boring, and they didn't have that much time, so Lang Lei used his soul power to speed up the process...

Next, the gelatin water that Lang Lei bought at the grocery store came in handy. Lang Lei made several large vats and poured the unfinished paint into them. Then he added an appropriate amount of gelatin water to the paint, stirred it evenly, then poured in boiling water, stirred it evenly again, and continued to cover it for precipitation.

After stirring the last jar of paint, Lang Lei and Gracie closed the lid together and smiled at each other.

Then, Lang Lei once again unreasonably used his soul power to speed up the process...

The next step is to fry the color and spread the paste. Through decocting and precipitation, the pigment is further purified and water is removed to obtain a thick paste. The thick paste is then poured onto the tape, spread flat and dried.

The drying step was also made easier by his extraordinary power. Under normal weather conditions, it usually takes 1-2 days to dry the paint paste, but Lang Lei used his soul power to steam it dry in just over ten minutes. During the drying process, Lang Lei looked at the serious little Grayxiu, and became playful. He smeared the paint with his hands and then applied it directly to the other's elastic face. After applying it, he was impressed by the good feel.

Grayxiu was stunned for a moment, then puffed up her cheeks, took a small piece of paint in her hand and was about to smear it on Lang Lei's face.

The two of them played and played in harmony, of course, just like an older brother and a younger sister, neither of them used any extraordinary strength.

The mineral pigment was made while playing.

If you want to use it, just mix the pigment paste and water in a suitable proportion, and then you can use it directly.

Lang Lei and Grayxiu clapped their hands in sync, then pinched their waists, and finally looked at each other, pointed at each other and laughed.

Because the other guy had painted his face with paint, it looked very funny.

After cleaning the stains on his face, Lang Lei put the paint paste into the system space, leaving only a small piece of each color.

Lang Lei nervously watched as Grayxiu added water to the pigment paste and stirred it. When the pigment took shape, Lang Lei spoke nervously.

"How about it?"

A stunning smile spread across Grace's face, and she rushed over and hugged Lang Lei.

"Great! Brother Lang Lei is really awesome!"

In fact, objectively speaking, the paint produced this time is at best just okay, not top quality.

But in Gracie's opinion, this is the best paint.

"No, we are awesome." Lang Lei smiled and patted Grayshu's shoulder.

"Yeah, we're awesome." Grayshu also cooperated by putting her hands on her waist and making a proud expression.

Lang Lei was successfully overwhelmed by cuteness...

At the same time, the system's task completion prompt also sounded.

[Accompanying mission: Pigment production has been completed. ]

[Rewards have been released, passive cards are being randomly drawn...]

[Random pigment effects are being drawn...]

[Obtained: Earth Dragon Dust Passive Empowerment Card (Purple) × 1]

[Ordinary mineral pigments have evolved into beautiful memories of Gray and Lang Lei. ]

[Item: Beautiful Memories of Gray and Lang Lei (Gold)
Introduction: The natural mineral pigments made by Gray Xiu and Lang Lei carry their common memories, which seems to have caused some magical changes in the pigments.

Special effect:

1. Infinite, the pigments are inexhaustible.

2. Sublimation: the quality of the pigment rises to a level that is rare in the world.

3. As you wish, when Gray or Lang Lei use this paint, they can make the paint become the color they want most according to their wishes. This effect disappears after it falls on the colored object.

4. Timeless, the paint never fades.

5. Heart to heart, Lang Lei and Gray Xiu can communicate with each other through their hearts after carrying this pigment. Ignoring the influence of time, space, fate, cause and effect, no living being can eavesdrop. 】

Under the surprised gazes of Lang Lei and Gresh, the paint in front of them changed. As for the color...

If I must say, is it colorful black?

Lang Lei smiled, put some paint on his hand, and painted a line on the back of his hand and the back of Grayxiu's hand.

This time, Gray Xiu didn't react.

Because as one of the manufacturers, she also knew the changes that occurred in the mineral pigments when they were sublimated.

"What wonderful memories..." Gray Xiu's ethereal voice echoed in Lang Lei's mind, "I like it very much."

"Yeah, I like it too."
