Being a Life Player in the Middle Ages

The gems Mia bought at the market were mainly crystals of different colors. Of course, their quality and color were very ordinary, and could even be called inferior crystals. They were the lowest grade gems. They were polished into beads of various sizes and sold. Such things were basically only bought by common people who had a little money on hand, but not much. The real rich and nobles would dislike using them as they were a downgrade.

But even so, the price of these crystals was not cheap. Originally, two pieces cost one free, but Mia bargained down to four pieces for one free with her eloquence. In the end, she bought two hundred crystal beads of different colors, which cost her fifty free.

Of course, she paid for this money herself. Martha also advised her that if she wanted beads, she could buy better ones, or directly buy ready-made jewelry, but Mia fooled her with her coquettishness.

In addition, the prices of other materials are not cheap, but not particularly expensive either. After all, the quality is there.

She collected the sorted materials, wrapped them in cloth and put them in the cabinet, leaving only a portion of the materials for making enchantments.

Although the basic materials for enchantment are gems, it only limits the types but not the colors. Mia took a few pink crystal beads suitable for little girls to make it.

In the game, skills are released by reading the bar directly, and the item is done after the reading is completed. Moreover, there is no such thing as failure when the life skill level reaches a certain level. But in reality, the production process is no longer just reading the bar, but she really needs to do it herself. However, this hands-on process is like someone controlling her body, making her hands move automatically, holding the production tools to operate the crystal beads.

Of course, although it feels this way, Mia does not feel uncomfortable being forcibly controlled. She can choose to stop by herself, and stopping is not like interrupting the reading bar, which will invalidate the previous operation. Instead, she can continue with the previous operation.

Unlike the few seconds of reading in the game, the actual operation time is calculated in hours. The enchantment Mia tried was the simplest recipe. The finished product would only increase the strength value by 2 points, but it took an hour to make.

However, she felt that it would be best if the production process was not seen by others. After all, if people saw her using tools to carve special patterns on crystal beads with special pigments made from other materials, but there were no traces on the final product, they would definitely think that she was using some invisible pigment and would be curious why she went to so much trouble to do so.

It looks like he is a little sick.

In order to avoid being suspected of having mental problems, Mia felt that it would be better not to perform this kind of enchantment in front of other people.

I just don’t know if other equipment will also have the problem of not being seen by others when they are made, so I still need to practice it.

Mia also tried to rub the crystal beads on the rough window sill a few times. The surface of the beads was scratched, but it seemed that the enchanted effect was not destroyed and it could still be used.

The finished enchantment looked no different from the previous one, but Mia could feel the difference. Even if she put several identical beads together, she could easily tell which one was the enchanted bead.

She walked to the window and held up the bead. In the sunset sunlight, the pink crystal was stained with a layer of warm light. Although it was an enchantment produced by the system, this thing had no visual item introduction interface. It was all through an indescribable feeling that told Mia in her mind the enchantment effect it had.

Moreover, the number of 2 strength points is really too small. In the game, even the minimum basic attribute value of novice equipment should be 10, and the higher ones are hundreds of times higher. But in reality, the formula that Mia can find to increase the basic value the most is only 10. This makes her think that if humans in reality have attribute panels, the highest basic attribute value should be around 10 points.

So what kind of changes will the power of two points bring to her?

Mia was very curious, and suddenly had an idea that this enchanted bead could be used directly on the body.

Thinking this, she tried to use the enchanted beads on herself.

It turned out that it could be used in this way, but before she used it, a game interface suddenly popped up, reminding her that the human body can only accept two enchantments, and they must be enchantments of different attributes, and asked her if she wanted to use this pink enchantment bead now.

Mia quickly stopped. Since it was a limited enchantment, she would naturally use the best one. If she only added two points of strength, she would be at a huge loss.

The sudden appearance of the game reminder also made Mia doubt whether her skill system was intelligent and could communicate, and she seemed to have heard the system prompt sound when she crossed over just now.

But no matter how she called out, the system didn't respond at all. It was exactly the same as in the game, where the player had to operate it themselves before there would be a response.

Giving up this idea, Mia continued to fiddle with the enchantment bead. Since it was not suitable for herself, she decided to try enchanting equipment.

She didn't dare to let others use the enchantment before she understood the situation, so Mia planned to use the enchantment on the bracelet after it was made.

Mia cast her eyes on the oil lamp and some other daily necessities on the table. These were also new items purchased today. Most people now use oil lamps, and candles are luxury goods that only nobles can afford. But no matter which one, the brightness is not enough for Mia. Normally, using the eyes for a long time at this brightness will damage the eyesight.

But the wonderful thing is that when she uses her life skills, although it seems that she is operating it seriously, it is actually more like she is being controlled. Even if she closes her eyes, it will not affect the operation process.

So it should be okay to make it in the dark, right?

Mia couldn't test whether her idea was right for the time being, because Martha asked her to go to dinner.

Today's dinner was also very sumptuous, but it was mostly made from ready-made food bought from the market and then processed. Mia got her portion and ate while chatting with Martha.

Martha was still complaining about how little stuff was in her room. "Maybe we should buy some rugs to decorate the floor and walls, or maybe some curtains? I see that's how a lot of rich and noble people decorate their homes."

Martha is a midwife. She generally serves rich people and nobles, so she has been to many nobles' homes. She is indeed a little upset about not being able to provide Mia with a better living environment.

Of course, the tapestries hung in the homes of the nobles were made with exquisite weaving techniques and were as valuable as paintings. Their family could not afford them, so Martha thought it would be okay to hang a few blankets with beautiful patterns instead.

Otherwise, the uneven stone walls would be really ugly, and Martha couldn't think of any other nice decorations except tapestries and curtains.

Fortunately, oil painting had not yet been invented, otherwise Martha might have wanted oil painting too.

Mia thought so while rejecting Martha's kindness. Not to mention that it was a bit inappropriate to use a blanket as a tapestry, the price of the blanket was not cheap, and the curtain was not cheap either. There was no need to waste money on such a thing.

In order to prevent Martha from dwelling on this issue, Mia brought up a topic to divert her attention.

And right now, there is probably nothing that can arouse Martha's interest more than making clothes, right?

They bought a lot of fabrics today, all for making clothes for Mia. The choice of materials was limited, with only linen and wool woven fabrics. However, the linen used for outer robes and petticoats also had different thicknesses, and wool also had coarse wool, fine wool and cashmere, and the colors could be barely selected.

Except for cashmere, which is too expensive, Martha bought Mia enough other fabrics to make two or three pieces of clothing. In fact, she also wanted to buy cashmere, but after hearing the quotation from the fabric merchant, she gave up and planned to go back and buy some cashmere directly to weave clothes for Mia herself. Now that the weather is getting warmer, cashmere, a fabric for making thick clothes, is of little use. It is enough to weave the cloth before winter comes.

In fact, if Mia had not come suddenly and had not brought much things, Martha would have preferred to slowly weave cloth and make clothes for her. Her weaving skills were actually quite good, or it could be said that there were very few civilian women in this period who could not weave.

In fact, they also bought some rabbit skins and deerskins, but Mia bought both of them as gifts, so Martha didn't pay for them.

When it comes to making clothes, Martha is indeed very interested. Although everyone's styles are basically the same at that time, they can actually add all kinds of gorgeous decorative patterns to their clothes. Although this is more of something that nobles would do, and common people care more about practicality and don't have the money to buy such good clothes, there is no law that stipulates that common people cannot decorate their clothes.

So Martha planned to embroider some patterns on Mia's clothes. The flowers on Mia's petticoat were very beautiful before. She felt that if she studied it carefully, her embroidery skills would improve greatly. She didn't ask to perfectly replicate the beautiful flowers, but as long as she could achieve half the effect, it would be enough for her to be proud.

What's more, because Constantiburg is an international metropolis, there are not only locals living here, but also people from many other countries. Therefore, the clothes you can see here are not only the traditional clothes of Dongbai, but also many exotic clothes. If the Dongbai people are bolder, they can make a set of clothes from other countries to wear, and it will not cause any trouble. At most, they will be criticized by some conservative people.

However, children always have some privileges in such matters. If Mia is happy, Martha doesn't mind making her a set of clothes from other countries.

And although Mia said she could make clothes, Martha was more or less skeptical about her craftsmanship. She felt that she had to watch over her. If Mia's work was not good enough, then Martha could take over the job with good reason.

Dressing up children like dolls is probably something that all mothers who love their children deeply are keen on.

"But not tomorrow morning. We have to go to church."

Martha announced.
