Chapter 39: The Refining
After returning to the supermarket with a few shark teeth on his back, Ning Chen called Shangguan Yuwei and the women and asked them to pick up some food and water from the supermarket and prepare to leave.
Shangguan Yuwei was obviously more interested in the few shark sharp teeth that Ning Chen was carrying diagonally behind his back, and leaned over curiously, as if he wanted to touch them.
But before she could get started, a woman suddenly spoke up and exclaimed, "Be careful!
Her voice was very loud, obviously quite flustered, which made Shangguan Yuwei also stunned, and quickly put her hand back.
"How...... What's wrong?"
Shangguan Yuwei didn't know why, so she looked at the woman cautiously, and then looked at Ning Chen.
Ning Chen didn't speak, but also looked at the woman, and there seemed to be something strange in his eyes.
The woman was stared at by these two people, and she looked a little uncomfortable for a while, and quickly waved her hand to explain to herself: "That...... I just subconsciously felt that those teeth were dangerous. ”
As she spoke, she seemed to be afraid that Ning Chen would not believe it, and added, "Since the two days since that day's mutation, I feel as if I can see something with a strange halo floating outside. ”
"Most of those halos appear on mutated trees, as well as some steel materials, and these teeth have similar halos, but it's green, it's the kind of dark green like toxins, I think this color is very ugly, and I'm worried that it might be dangerous, so I ......"
After this woman's words were finished, Ning Chen immediately asked, "Then what color do you think this thing is?"
As he spoke, Ning Chen took out the pistol directly from his pocket.
The woman was startled at first, and then whispered, "There is a layer of pale gray light." ”
"Sure enough......"
After Ning Chen heard this, the expression on his face didn't seem to change much, but Shangguan Yuwei vaguely felt that he seemed to be a little excited now.
I saw Ning Chen raise his hand again, signaling those who were rummaging through the food in the supermarket with flashlights to stop first: "You guys wait a minute, it's getting late tonight, and the road is impassable due to the mutation, and it is very risky to walk at night, so rest for a night tonight and leave tomorrow." ”
These women naturally don't have any opinions, as long as Ning Chen is willing to take them, it will already be a great gift to them.
After that, Ning Chen took Shangguan Yuwei to the staff lounge, and the women temporarily laid the floor first.
After entering the house, Shangguan Yuwei asked Ning Chen suspiciously, "It turns out that you have always taken me on the night road, and accompany me to practice qi ability and aura during the day?"
"Well, it's a bit of a special situation today, and I'm going to have to deal with these things first. ”
Ning Chen untied the shark teeth behind him, and glanced at Shangguan Yuwei again: "You go and call the woman who stopped you just now." ”
"Good. ”
Shangguan Yuwei used to be a little bit of a big lady with a temper, and basically didn't listen to anyone's orders, but she had stayed with Ning Chen for a long time these days, and she also regarded Ning Chen as an existence as a teacher and friend, so Ning Chen occasionally asked her to do something, and she would not refuse again.
She knew that if it weren't for Ning Chen, she would have died long ago.
Even if she doesn't say it, Shangguan Yuwei still regards Ning Chen as a benefactor.
Not long after, the woman was taken to the staff lounge by Shangguan Yuwei, Ning Chen nodded at her, and then smiled: "Don't be too nervous, what's your name?"
"I ...... My name is Zhou Qian, and I am a senior student at Fuyun No. 1 High School. ”
As soon as Zhou Qian said this, Ning Chen realized that this woman was not too big.
Because the surrounding environment has been relatively dim, only candles are lit, and Zhou Qian was caught by those "white maggots" this week, describing her as haggard, she doesn't look like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl at all, but like a woman in her twenties.
Ning Chen bowed his head, motioned for Zhou Qian to sit on the tightrope bed first, and after a moment of silence, he summoned a flame from his palm.
Zhou Qian was startled when she saw it, and thought that Ning Chen was going to burn her like burning those scum.
Ning Chen smiled: "Don't worry, I just want you to know about your abilities." ”
"What am I capable of?"
Zhou Qian was puzzled: "Is it my ability to see those halos?"
"Almost. ”
Ning Chen gave Zhou Qian an affirmative reply, and then said, "In the previous mutation, there were a lot of blue points of light falling in the sky—if you saw it, you should remember it, right?"
After that, Ning Chen explained to Zhou Qian some information about aura seeds and ability awakening, and finally pointed out to Zhou Qian: "You can see the halo, but it is actually a kind of ability - called material perception. ”
"Material awareness?"
"Well, to put it simply, you can visualize the advantages and disadvantages of some of the materials that can be used for forging with your eyes. ”
"Like this shark tooth, if I burn it with flames......"
Ning Chen summoned a cloud of flames and slightly incinerated the root of a shark's sharp tooth.
After all, the Blood Spirit Flame was still the Blood Spirit Flame, and in just a few moments, the roots of the shark's sharp teeth were burned a little shriveled.
"If you look at it now, is the green light here still the same as before?"
Zhou Qian narrowed her eyes and carefully looked at the root of the shark's sharp teeth, and said in astonishment: "The halo here ...... Got smaller?"
"No," she quickly denied her words, "it's not smaller, it's condensed, and the halo here is smaller, but the color is darker, like ......"
Ning Chen continued her words: "It's like steel is incinerated and smelted into a hundred forged steel. ”
"Well, pretty much the feeling. Is this my ability? Can I see changes in materials? It doesn't feel like it's as useful as your fire. ”
Zhou Qian whispered.
Although this was her own broken thought, Ning Chen still heard it.
He almost burst out laughing.
Thankfully, there are no other people here who have been reborn from the late stages of Reiki revival.
Otherwise, you would have to be angry with Zhou Qian's words and vomit blood.
Material perception rated at level 8 is not as useful as a fireball rated at level 3?
Just kidding!
Material perception, in Ning Chen's previous life, was definitely a BUG-level super ability.
In fact, there are not a few people who have this ability, at least it is more common than other level 8 abilities, but it is estimated that there are only one in a million people who can actually use this ability.
Because the ability of material perception is not useful in other ways at all, only in forging can it be used 100%.
People with material perception can easily find the loopholes of the material during forging, and check and fill the gaps in time, and even see through the essence of the material at a glance.
The same material, given to a forger with material perception and an ordinary blacksmith, the final thing created is very different.
In Ning Chen's previous life, Huaguo produced a sword-casting master who is said to be the descendant of Ou Yezi, a famous ancient sword-casting master.
That master was already a world-renowned swordsmith and forger long before the revival of the aura, and after the revival of the aura, he had more precious materials, and at the same time awakened the master of the material perception ability, which directly raised the world's forging level to a new height.
At that time, the master's proud work "Dust Cutting Sword" was cast from the aura meteorite on the Tianshan Mountain, and he even found several water and fire awakeners with a power level of 7 or above and a strength of A-level or even higher to help him complete the quenching.
When this dust slashing sword was successfully refined, it even triggered the vision of heaven and earth, and triggered a small aura revival in the manor where he practiced the sword.
It was only through this that people realized how amazing the ability of material perception really is.
It's just that forging is so difficult to get started, causing many people with material perception abilities to finally give up this business, and only a few people with excellent perseverance choose to persevere.
It is precisely because of the few that they are respected, and in the previous life, the treatment enjoyed by the forging master and the alchemist anywhere was definitely super S-level.
Even if a beginner forger is just getting started, there will be many A-level powerhouses rushing to tie up.
Is this ability useless?
It's just that some people are lazy, and the mud can't hold up the wall.
However, Ning Chen could only think about these things in his previous life, and on the bright side, he still pretended not to hear the second half of Zhou Qian's words, picked up the root and gave the burned shark a sharp tooth and said, "This time, I mainly have something to ask you for help." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Qian was flattered, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Where are you talking about this? You rescued us from the wolf's den, and you were very kind to us." ”
"Help each other, I need to forge these shark teeth, I need your material perception ability to help, okay?"
"Forging......?"
Zhou Qian wanted to say that I wouldn't, but looking at the confident expression on Ning Chen's face, the ghost finally responded.
