"Uncle Chen, this is the thirty bandit waist cards you wanted." Nodding, Fang Xuan took out a stack of iron waist cards in the far corner of his backpack and handed it over.

"Shaoxia is really extraordinary, and he has eliminated so many bandits. With these waist cards, presumably the robbers and bandits on the mountain will be able to stop for a while. Come, this is the reward you deserve. After Blacksmith Chen, who was full of joy, took the waist card, he handed Fang Xuan something with a smile, and then went to work on his own business.

System: You have completed the commission task issued by Blacksmith Chen.

System: You gain 3,000 experience points.

System: You have obtained the Steel Ore Pickaxe (Bronze).

Seeing this reward, Fang Xuan's heart jumped, especially when he saw the attributes of such a thing, he was even more overjoyed.

For Fang Xuan, 3,000 experience points to cut a few waves of monsters were enough, and he was more concerned about this bronze-grade steel pickaxe that could be used for mining.

In Genesis, mining was a life occupation, and you only needed to find an apprentice in a blacksmith shop for 1 silver to learn the art of mining.

Mining pickaxes are sold in every blacksmith shop, including a normal pickaxe with a durability of 30 copper coins and a bronze pickaxe with a durability of 300 silver coins.

Each time the player digs minerals, they consume 1 Pickaxe durability. When the durability of the Pickaxe is 1, you can also ask the NPC of the Blacksmith or the player who is practicing the casting profession to re-polish and repair it, and the repair cost of the NPC is 50% of the original price, and the maximum durability will be reduced with each repair.

For example, a Pickaxe repaired by an Apprentice Foundry will reduce its maximum durability by 10%, while a Pickaxe repaired by a Beginner Foundry will only reduce its maximum durability by 8%, a Pickaxe repaired by an Intermediate Foundry will only reduce its maximum durability by 6%, and so on.

Pickaxes repaired by Grandmaster Foundries will not reduce their durability cap.

It is said that the Mine Pickaxe repaired by the Craftsman Forge will not only not reduce the durability cap, but will also increase the upper limit and special attributes, but the cost of its repair is not something that ordinary players can afford. After all, you get what you pay for, don't you?

This is true not only for the mine hoe, but also for all equipment in Genesis.

When the durability of the equipment reaches 0, it will be scrapped as a broken item, and can only be sold as a rag shop.

Sometimes the items are too tattered, and the store will refuse to accept them!

This is the most maddening of the situation, as the broken item takes up space in the backpack, so the player will have to find a blacksmith NPC or forge player to destroy it.

What's maddening is that it costs money to find NPCs and players to destroy items! It's not much, but it's money!

This pickaxe doesn't have these concerns, as its durability type is durable, and whoever repairs it won't lose its durability limit.

Except in exceptional circumstances, long-lasting equipment will not be scrapped.

In addition, when this pickaxe is equipped, there is a 10% chance to increase mining proficiency by 1% when mining minerals.

Minerals in Genesis are not mineralized if anyone wants to, for example, copper ore only requires 1 proficiency mining apprentice to mine, but tin ore requires 15 mining proficiency to mine.

There are also some high-level minerals, such as Dragon's Blood Ore, which require a mining expert with a mining proficiency of more than 500 points to mine.

Mining proficiency will only increase by 1 point after the player has successfully collected minerals.

Once the player has reached 99 Gathering Proficiency and has moved to a Tier 1 class, they can go to the town to find a Mining Trainer to spend money and learn Beginner Mining.

The more advanced the mining technique, the higher the conditions and the amount of money it costs.

If a low-level miner goes to mine high-level minerals, the success rate is very low, and there is a very high chance of destroying minerals to obtain broken items, and the durability of mining tools is also very high.

This was also the reason why Fang Xuan was happy, after owning this mining pickaxe, he would save more time to upgrade his mining proficiency than players who used ordinary mining pickaxes.

So in the previous life, among the players, there was an easy-to-understand saying.

What is time? Time is money, my friend!

Of course, Fang Xuan did not forget the purpose of coming to the blacksmith shop, and found an NPC in the blacksmith shop who was very similar to Blacksmith Chen, the apprentice miner Chen Xiaoming.

Chen Xiaoming, who was full of meat, although he looked vicious, what he said was:

"Big brother, do you want to be a great miner? For 1 silver coin, I'll teach you how to mine. ”

"Good!" Fang Xuan forcibly endured this disgusting contrast.

System: You spend 1 silver and learn the art of apprenticeship.

System: You become an apprentice miner. Current mining proficiency is 1/99.

The surrounding players saw that Fang Xuan hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, and they returned to normal.

The blacksmith shop is striking, the smelting is clanging, the shouting and selling, and the sound of players bargaining is the same as before, lively and noisy.

It's just that there are still many low-level players, who are paying close attention to Fang Xuan's every move.

Is this the master player of Genesis?

His equipment looks really good, especially the two-handed greatsword with a black scabbard on his back, the texture, the texture, and the quaint shape, at least the equipment above the silver level has not run!

Some players are thinking: one day they will be like this person, with awesome equipment, terrifying momentum, and a tiger-like walk! That's not a creation for nothing.

But when he turned around, he saw a small iron sword that could be used on someone else's stall.

This workmanship, this material, is similar to the black sheathed sword on the back of the previous master, although it is only a little smaller, a little shorter, but it is better than empty-handed, isn't it?

"Boss, I'll pay 5 copper coins to buy your little iron sword!"

"What? You don't sell! Then you're good to sell the store! Give you 2 copper coins to make a profit, and you are not happy. “

"Made, when I have money, Lao Tzu will buy ten small iron swords in the store, and I will give one when I see one!"

"Humph! Make you damn bastard have no money to make! Don't you dare to sell it to me! ”

"What do you see? If you want to hit me, come on, hit here! Hit the streets! ”

-

The purpose of coming to the blacksmith shop this time was completed, and when Fang Xuan was about to turn around and walk out of the blacksmith shop, he was suddenly blocked by Blacksmith Chen's outstretched hand.

Well? What is he doing here? Suddenly, Fang Xuan was excited, as he thought of an explanation.

"Shaoxia, can you take a step to speak." Blacksmith Chen, who stopped Fang Xuan, had a calm face, but his gaze swept over the black big sword on Fang Xuan's back from time to time.

"Yes." Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Fang Xuan replied simply.

Because the blacksmith shop was very noisy, the surrounding players originally thought that Fang Xuan was here to repair the equipment, and did not hear the conversation between Blacksmith Chen and him.

But they saw Blacksmith Chen go to an inner door in the blacksmith and enter the inner room.

From this door, the player can see the room, which contains a number of weapon racks with a large number of weapons placed on them.

Swords, daggers, stabs, knives, guns, clubs, everything.

Many players want to go in and have a look, if they steal some of those weapons and sell them, won't they make a profit?

Therefore, many players have tried the inner door of the blacksmith shop, but the helpless thing is that the door seems to be blocked by a shadowless and invisible wall of air, and it is impossible to enter without the permission of Blacksmith Chen.

There are also players who secretly follow Blacksmith Chen when he enters, and want to blend in, but they are all bounced into the street outside the gate of the blacksmith shop by the air wall, and fall to the ground.

There are even players who attack Blacksmith Chen to death, but they are slapped to death by Blacksmith Chen on the spot.

After the resurrection, I heard that they were also arrested in the cell of Qingshan Village and imprisoned for a natural day.

The crime is the same as the people of the last Heaven Breaking Guild: attacking famous hotels in the village for no reason, breaking into private houses, and disrupting social order.

When many players in the blacksmith shop saw Fang Xuan following behind Blacksmith Chen, they all thought that he wanted to sneak in, and they all wanted to see his jokes.

"Eh, you see this master, he actually followed behind Blacksmith Chen, trying to sneak into the room in the blacksmith shop."

"Haha! I guess he'll be thrown out by Blacksmith Chen. ”

"Does he think he can fight Blacksmith Chen if he is well equipped?"

Then when they saw Fang Xuan, who was carrying the black big sword, they went in directly without hindrance, their eyes widened, and there was silence around them. Then many people left what they were doing and came to fence the gate to find out.

"! He really followed up! I'll go in and check it out, too! ”

"Could it be that this door has no air wall anymore? Wait, I'll go in and see. ”

"Let's go, I'll try it too! Don't let them steal all the equipment inside. ”

Novice players like to watch and see how others are doing, and they like to follow the trend, but these people are all bounced off the street outside the gate and fall on all fours.

Fang Xuan, who was in the room, didn't know this, and after entering this inner room, he also looked around.

It's a standard storage room, with weapons racks full of weapons on all four walls.

Judging by their quality, they should all be bronze-level, and perhaps these weapons are the masterpieces of this blacksmith Chen.

After seeing Fang Xuan come in, Blacksmith Chen, who was carrying his hands behind his back, turned around and hugged his fists at him.

"Young man, the old man saw that the material of this weapon on your back is very unique, and the workmanship is also very exquisite, can you take it off and give the old man a closer look?"

Looking at the pleading gaze of Blacksmith Chen in front of him, Fang Xuan's heart moved: It's here! Triggered Hidden Quests in Genesis!

"Okay, no problem." After speaking, he took down the sealed ancient heavy sword on his back and handed it to the blacksmith Chen with a face full of anticipation.

After Blacksmith Chen, who was trembling with excitement, took the sword handed by Fang Xuan, closed his eyes, and gently brushed the hilt and scabbard inch by inch with his hand, as if he was gently stroking his lover.

Seeing that this was Blacksmith Chen, it was estimated that it would not be finished for a while, but Fang Xuan on the side remembered the description of the items of this sword.

Kidding, although he knew that this weapon was a sealed artifact, judging by the item description, he needed to find a well-known Foundry NPC to give some hints.

The famous Foundry NPC, he had heard some of them before the fourth turn in his previous life, but none of them were fuel-efficient lamps, and it was difficult for players to see them.

Even after he became a fourth-order divine warrior, he met an old NPC at the level of a casting grandmaster in a small alley in Blizzard City, but the old man's temper was simply strange and depressing.
