"Is a brand really necessary? Little Junior Sister, the things you make aren't for sale," Chen Tianyi asked in confusion upon hearing Hu Ke'er's words.
"Well, it's a matter of awareness. If we have a brand, there might be a chance of selling these things in the future. Maybe then we can rule the world in a different way," Hu Ke'er said softly.
"Little Junior Sister, if you want to do it, go ahead. To create a brand, you just need to engrave a logo of your own. It shouldn't be too difficult. Just tell Little Blacksmith," Chen Tianyi said.
"Okay!" Hu Ke'er nodded. Since it was her own brand, the trademark couldn't be too casual. It had to be more refined.
"Senior Brother Chen, what kind of pattern would be good for my trademark?"
"Well, maybe keep it simple. It'll be easier for Little Blacksmith to make," Chen Tianyi said softly.
"Too simple won't work. If our products sell well in the future, there might be fakes. If the trademark is too simple, it'll be easy to be copied!"
"You're right, Little Junior Sister. But it can't be too complicated either, can it?"
"Yeah!" Hu Ke'er nodded gently.
"Senior Brother, could you help me think about it?"
"Ah, I'm really no good at this. I've never had any talent for drawing since I was a kid. I can scribble, but I can't help you with real drawing!" Chen Tianyi quickly waved his hand.
"Okay then." Hu Ke'er said a bit dejectedly upon hearing Chen Tianyi's words.
She wasn't a professional graphic designer and had no foundation in trademark design. The trademark couldn't be too simple or too complex, and it had to be easy to recognize. It was really troublesome. Fortunately, there was no trademark protection law in this world, so she could design the trademark freely.
But precisely because of the broad freedom, Hu Ke'er couldn't come up with any ideas for the moment.
"Little Junior Sister, maybe you should go and discuss it with Little Blacksmith. After all, he'll be the one engraving the trademarks on the things," Chen Tianyi suggested seeing Hu Ke'er deep in thought.
"Okay~" Hu Ke'er nodded gently, then went to look for Little Blacksmith near the Spirit Stone Refining Room.
"Wow, I didn't expect these workers to be so efficient!" Hu Ke'er exclaimed in admiration when she saw the smithing tables rising one by one at the Yuan Stone Mine near the Spirit Stone Refining Room.
"Little Junior Sister, you have to know that these workers are used to refining Yuan Stones. Building a simple smithy is a piece of cake for them," Chen Tianyi said softly.
"The bodies of these workers are constantly burned by the flames of refining Spirit Stones every day. Coupled with the fact that the spiritual energy in the Spirit Stone Refining Room is denser than outside, their bodies have absorbed a lot of spiritual energy. In terms of physical strength alone, many inner - sect disciples might not be able to compare with them."
"I see!" Hu Ke'er nodded slightly upon hearing Chen Tianyi's words.
"By the way, speaking of inner - sect disciples, Senior Brother Chen, is that Bai Susu we met before an inner - sect disciple?"
"Little Junior Sister, why are you still thinking about Bai Susu?" Chen Tianyi frowned upon hearing Hu Ke'er's words.
"From the way Uncle Zheng behaved before, you should have understood that there might be a major secret of the sect related to Bai Susu. So before Senior Sister Bai Susu comes back into everyone's sight, it's better not to mention her name," Chen Tianyi warned Hu Ke'er.
"Um..." Hu Ke'er frowned slightly upon hearing Chen Tianyi's words.
"Senior Brother Chen, in my impression, you're not the kind of person who's afraid of trouble, are you?"
"Of course I'm not afraid of trouble. It's just unnecessary. Why get involved in other people's business for no reason?" Chen Tianyi said softly.
"This isn't getting involved! Senior Brother Chen, have you forgotten that Senior Sister Bai Susu helped us in the Thousand Snow Forbidden Land?"
"She did help us, but it was out of necessity. She said that we had delayed her own business. So we..."
"Since we delayed her business, we should help her even more, shouldn't we?" Hu Ke'er tilted her head and said innocently.
"Um..." Chen Tianyi gently rubbed his forehead and showed a helpless expression upon hearing Hu Ke'er's words.
"Little Junior Sister, why haven't you realized the situation of this matter yet?"
"Huh? Do you think what I said makes no sense, Senior Brother?" Hu Ke'er asked in confusion upon hearing Chen Tianyi's words.
"The logic is correct, but you're still wrong."
"Ah?" Hu Ke'er was even more confused.
If the logic was correct, how could she be wrong?
"Little Junior Sister, your mistake is overestimating your own ability. If we two really had the strength, it would be our duty to help Senior Sister Bai Susu. In fact, we should have helped her deal with that middle - aged man in armor directly in the Thousand Snow Forbidden Land. Since we couldn't help Senior Sister Bai Susu defeat the enemy at that time, it means our strength is insufficient. So don't ask for trouble. We might end up causing more trouble for Senior Sister Bai Susu instead of helping her!"
"Ah, so we're just going to ignore Senior Sister Bai Susu's matter?" Hu Ke'er asked in confusion upon hearing Chen Tianyi's words.
"For now, not getting involved is the greatest help we can give to Bai Susu," Chen Tianyi advised.
"Unless Senior Sister Bai Susu asks for our help, we must not interfere in this matter. Otherwise, it will only make things more and more troublesome. Or we could find a way to greatly improve our strength in a short period of time, but that's probably impossible!"
"Okay then..." Hu Ke'er nodded gently upon hearing Chen Tianyi's words. It seemed that her thinking was not as comprehensive as Chen Tianyi's. She still had a long way to go.
"Let's go and discuss the trademark with Little Blacksmith first. I suddenly got a bit of inspiration," Hu Ke'er said as she and Chen Tianyi walked towards the largest smithy. They could hear the constant clanging of iron inside.
"Little Blacksmith, are you busy?"
"Hey, Little Senior Sister, you're back so soon. I haven't finished making the Thousand - Mechanism Umbrella yet!" Hearing Hu Ke'er's voice, a lot of people in the smithy turned to look. Little Blacksmith in the middle of the crowd saw Hu Ke'er and smiled simply and honestly.
