Chapter 770 - 713
"If you’re from Beijing, your family must be quite well-off, right?" Jiang Yuan could tell that Zhan Kan had some interest in learning the Cranial Reconstruction Skill.
Zhan Kan felt the opportunity had come, and while using the deductive abilities honed through his work to figure out Jiang Yuan’s thoughts, he said, "You could say I haven’t had to worry about food and clothing. Both my parents work for state-owned enterprises and they’ve even bought me a house. With my salary, I have enough to spend just by myself."
That could be considered as having a foundation for learning the Cranial Reconstruction Skill.
Jiang Yuan nodded. Only when he had reached his current LV5 status did he fully understand the complexity and the enormous cost involved in cultivating an expert in the field.
Without a substantial family background, one might start learning but then struggle to keep going.
Even aiming for just LV2 in the Skull Restoration Skill required years of study. During this period, it was best to focus solely on learning; otherwise, it would take even longer.
Besides, the materials for the Skull Restoration Skill weren’t cheap either. Sculpture, as an activity, was never intended for the poor.
Even if you typically use the bureau’s resources, from time to time, you need to buy some materials for research. It’s the same principle as art students purchasing paints and paper for drawing.
"You studied sculpture for two years? To what extent can you create?" asked Jiang Yuan.
"Yes, I started with sketching then moved on to sculpture. As for my level, I actually did some sculpture on my own later on, and I can make things like figurines..." Zhan Kan was careful not to overstate his abilities.
