It was not yet ten o'clock in the evening when Rosen woke up in the real world. He immediately got up, took a shower, and drove out to find a place to have a hearty midnight snack.

When he got home, he didn't rush to bed, but took out his mobile phone and started shopping online.

This time he bought some stone carvings from several online stores with good ratings, especially stone statues of various styles.

In addition, I also bought some books, tools and materials on carving, and planned to spend my spare time, except for work, on researching and learning stone carving.

In fact, the level of stone carving in Hebei Province is not much worse than that in neighboring Shanxi Province. Unfortunately, since Rosen's hometown is located on a vast plain, a bit far from the mountains, it does not have any unique conditions, and naturally no industrial chain related to stone carving has been formed.

Even if there are a few stonemasons in the local area, the most they can do is carve a stone tablet or something. They can't even do something slightly more complicated.

Rosen took advantage of his off-duty time to drive around and ask around, especially after asking several stonemasons in person, he basically gave up the idea of ​​becoming an apprentice.

At this time, the stone sculptures he purchased online also arrived one after another.

Due to different prices, the materials, carvings, etc. are naturally different, but what makes him feel a little comforted is that no matter what their price, at least they are all real stones.

After unpacking them one by one and moving the stone sculptures, large and small, into the house, Rosen watched various videos on carving on the Internet and waited patiently for night to fall.

After waiting for a long time, the sky finally darkened. Rosen then drew the curtains, took out a stone-carved Tang horse and placed it on the bed, then released a living fossil statue towards it.

This Tang horse is not big, only about seven or eight centimeters long. It is a hand-held piece made of first-grade bluestone from Shanxi Province.

Although it is not expensive and is machine-carved, so it does not have the charm of hand-carved carving, but at least it looks realistic and has the unique sturdy and plump appearance of the horses in Tang Dynasty murals.

At this moment, with the flickering of a faint light, the Tang Ma handle shook his body slightly, then stretched out his legs and stood up, and then walked towards Rosen.

It was just that its body was fat but its legs were very short and thin, and it was lying on a soft bed, and it felt like its short legs were stuck in a snowdrift. It moved very slowly, and it really sank with every step.

Rosen didn't offer a hand to help, but just watched coldly, and at the same time checked the stopwatch on his phone to see how long it could last.

About twenty seconds later, Tang Ma finally ran in front of Rosen, bowed his head, and looked like he was ready to obey orders at any time.

Seeing this scene, Rosen realized that although these animated stone statues retained their original appearance, they might also possess some of the abilities of the stone statues themselves. For example, a stone horse might really be able to gallop and leap.

However, we cannot really regard it as the original appearance of the stone statue.

For example, now, every move of this stone Tang horse, especially the way it lowered its head and bowed its body, can't be simply regarded as a horse.

Because the intelligence it shows now is definitely not inferior to that of a seven or eight-year-old child.

"Show me all the skills you have." Rosen said, picking it up and placing it on his desk.

As soon as the Tang horse's four legs touched the ground, it neighed silently and began to gallop wildly on the table, charging, colliding, trampling, leaping and other actions from time to time.

Rosen has level 9 driving proficiency, which includes riding skills, so he naturally knows where these actions come from.

This is not one of the events in modern equestrianism, but it is something that war horses must use when they follow their masters into battle on the battlefield.

After Tangma finished the demonstration and returned to him, Rosen couldn't help but reach out and touch its back, praising it, "What a good horse."

Tang Ma obviously understood what he said. He actually raised his head and rubbed his palm, then remained motionless.

Rosen glanced at the stopwatch and saw that exactly ten minutes had passed.

He touched the Tang horse, which seemed to have experienced hundreds of years of baptism in a short period of time and had obviously become a little old and mottled, and released the living fossil statue to it again.

This time Tang Ma came back to life again, but his movements seemed a little slower and more clumsy than before.

It seemed to still remember Rosen, so it took the initiative to come over and rub against Rosen's palm, and even stuck out its tongue to lick his palm.

If it is a real horse, its tongue must be moist, warm and soft.

However, the tongue of this bluestone Tang horse is hard and cold. However, since the bluestone of Shanxi Province is of good quality, it feels quite good, at least not rough.

After another ten minutes, the Tang horse froze again. This time it looked even more worn and rough, as if it had been placed in a dry desert and had been baptized by wind, sand and time for hundreds of years.

In addition, many small cracks appeared on the horse's body. It seemed that if it was revived again, it might not last more than ten minutes and would probably shatter into stone chips all over the table.

Rosen did not continue to revive it, but put it aside, intending to put it on a bookshelf or windowsill as a decoration later.

Rosen then tried to animate stone sculptures or statues of various materials, and finally found that no matter what the material or the size, they could only be active for ten minutes at the current skill level.

However, due to the different quality of the material, the number of times the stone carvings can be activated is different.

Stone sculptures made of stones of poor quality or stones pressed from stone powder are basically ruined after being activated once.

Those of high quality can be used continuously for more than two or three times.

This made Rosen determined to purchase more good stones for future use.

It is worth mentioning that he used the animated fossil statue thirty or forty times. Although he gained a lot of experience, he was unable to see any special abilities from the animated statue once.

This made Rosen disappointed, but he couldn't help but look forward to the next living fossil statue.

After testing the versatility of the living fossil statues, Rosen felt comfortable placing orders online for various stone sculptures.

For example, you need at least two pairs of stone lions that are 1.5 meters tall. And for the Taiping Elephants that are as tall as a person, you need to buy at least five or six. In addition, it is not excessive to buy twenty or thirty stone statues imitating Qin Terracotta Warriors at one time.

In addition to these, it would be okay to have one or two of the famous mythical beasts such as stone dragons, stone qilins, stone pixiu, stone bixi, stone Baxia... etc., right?

Since so many stone sculptures have been made, it would be reasonable to also make a stone monkey wearing a golden chain mail armor, a phoenix-wing purple gold crown on his head, lotus silk cloud-walking shoes on his feet, and holding a golden cudgel in his hand, right?

……

After such a crazy purchase, Rosen spent four or five hundred thousand in one go. However, when he thought about the role these things could play after he got them, he felt that all the expenses were worth it.
