Chapter 35: Phantom Thorn
Xie Lang was very puzzled in his heart, he really couldn't understand what Hou Chao was thinking in his head, if it was according to the previous price, he would have sold eight out of ten pieces at this time. The price is set so expensive, it is naturally good for someone to buy it, but it can't be sold, and it is not thrown in the warehouse to eat ashes.
As a result, it took about an hour and only one weapon sold. On the contrary, all the pickaxes were sold out, although the price was cheaper than that of the blacksmith shop, excluding the cost, each could earn about 2 silver coins, and the total income was more than 20 silver coins.
Hou Chao asked Xie Lang to set up his stall and go out to practice early in the morning. It's only afternoon, and it's a good time to level up, so it's wasted.
Hou Chao sent a message, "How is that product selling?" ”
"Sell a ghost! Sell one weapon an hour! Now there are still dozens of them in the warehouse, and at this rate, they will be sold out in the Year of the Monkey. Xie Lang was already full of complaints.
Hou Chao ignored these, "Very good, now close the stall first, come back in the evening, it's still the old location, just put the same price for about an hour." ”
"Coming back?"
"Trust me! Brothers! ”
Xie Lang couldn't do anything about him, so he closed the stall first. The last set of iron sword molds has finally arrived, and I can't wait to finish casting.
After fifteen minutes, the casting skill was finally upgraded to intermediate. After forging all the iron swords, he set out for the city where the craftsman Das was.
The city of Bunanny, like the city of Orin, is a central city where the smith Das's blacksmith shop is located.
Suddenly, a name came to mind, and Congmeng was also born in this city. I wonder if I'll meet her by chance?
What a boring idea!
Craftsman Darth saw Xie Lang, his face showed a trace of joy, and he instantly turned stern, "The task I gave you, have you completed?" ”
Xie Lang seemed to see the stern face of the teaching director when he was in school, and he couldn't help but shudder, "It's done." ”
"I really didn't missee the wrong person, our traditional casting process has finally been inherited, I hope you can carry it forward and don't disappoint me."
"Do your best."
System: Complete the quest Darth Craftsman's Test to obtain Darth's Hammer.
Darth's Hammer: Crafting success rate is reduced by 20%, and there is a 20% chance of quality +1 for successful casting.
"Our casting has always been based on quality, and we must not make it shoddy. This hammer is passed down to you, and I hope it will help you in your future casting process. ”
Bidding farewell to the craftsman Das, Xie Lang walked around the city of Bunanny, saying that he wanted to see what good goods he could find, but in fact, he was still looking forward to a chance encounter in his mind.
It's just that you can run into it casually, so it's not called a chance encounter.
It's almost time to set up a stall with Hou Chao. Xie Lang immediately rushed back to Olin City and put the goods on the shelves one by one.
Soon, people surrounded him, and many people asked, "This iron sword with the highest attack, can it be cheaper, I'll take ten silver coins!" ”
"The iron dagger too, cheaper! I want two! ”
Xie Lang shook his head, "I'm sorry, sell at cost price, refuse to negotiate." Hou Chao taught him a set of rhetoric, and he said it word for word.
"A fifth-level iron-breaking sword dares to sell for 12 silver coins? Why "the deal failed, the buyer hated so much that he wanted to curse, but he was shy in his pocket, and he was really reluctant to spend those two more silver coins." Xie Lang knew very well that most players of this level were short of currency, and they couldn't wait for a copper plate to open two petals.
There were a lot of onlookers, but only one was successfully traded, and 8 silver coins were sold for an iron dagger with the lowest attack power.
Seeing so many people watching but not buying, Xie Lang felt like a monkey in the circus, embarrassed, and at the same time hated in his heart: dead monkey, what kind of medicine is in the broken gourd.
I was embarrassed to put it down anymore, so I closed the stall and left. I sent a message to Xiaobawang: Can I find the materials I want?
The sooner the Phantom Thorn can be made, the better, although the Crescent Dagger and the Viper Blade have good attributes, they are level 5 weapons after all, and their attack power can no longer keep up.
"I've mailed it to you, haven't you received it?"
"I didn't pay attention, I'll take a look."
There will be a post office in each town, and when the player cannot make a positive transaction, he can pay a certain fee to mail the item to the other party, and at the same time, he can also indicate the amount to be paid for each item, and once the signatory confirms the receipt, the amount paid by the other party will be credited to the account at the same time.
When I arrived at the post office, I signed for the ore mailed by Xiaobawang. There are a total of 40 pieces of bronze ore, each with 1 silver coin, and 15 pieces of black iron ore, each with 5 silver coins, all of which are of normal quality.
The backpack is less than a gold for a while, and if you continue to spend it like this, there is always a feeling of sitting on a mountain of empty food.
The success rate of casting Phantom Thorn is only 40%, but Darth's Hammer has the attribute of reducing the success rate by 20%, so isn't there only a 20% chance of success? Of course, successful minting also has a 20% chance of gaining +1 quality.
Xie Lang was worried that if he was unlucky and failed five times in a row, wouldn't he lose everything?
I'm still considering whether to use this hammer for casting.
100 successful castings are not easy at all, time-consuming and laborious, if you want to get a useless casting hammer, then why bother so hard.
Thinking of what the craftsman Das said, the choice between quality and quantity is whether the former is important or the latter.
Right! Quality is more important than quantity.
Phantom Thorn Mold (Dagger), 5 pieces of Bronze Ore, 15 pieces of Iron Ore, 2 pieces of Black Iron Ore, level 10, success rate of 40%, 5 times of use, intermediate casting is required.
There were still three groups of 60 pieces of fine iron ore in the warehouse, and they were never willing to use it, but it was a pity that the quality of black iron ore and bronze ore was ordinary.
The materials were prepared according to the recipe, and the rest was thrown into the warehouse.
was about to start casting, and suddenly Hou Chao sent a message: Where! Grab 11 iron swords and 9 iron daggers, all of the best quality.
"In the Olin City warehouse, you come and get it."
It didn't take long for Hou Chaohuo to run over in a hurry.
"Why do you need so many weapons at once? Do you also set up a stall? ”
Hou Chaoshen said mysteriously; "You'll find out later." Took the weapon and hurried away again.
It really comes and goes......
Casting the Phantom Thorn is not as simple as casting an iron sword, the gate of Olin City is full of traffic, players come and go endlessly, Xie Lang didn't want to be disturbed, and spent 10 silver coins to charter a box in the hotel, even if it was noisy outside, the door handle was closed, as if the whole world was cut off, and it was absolutely quiet.
Put the materials needed for the phantom thorn neatly on the table, open the melting furnace, according to the recipe procedure, the black iron is the hardest, put it in first, wait until it slowly melts, and then put in the iron ore, because this is the first time to cast, so put ordinary iron ore. This was followed by bronze ore. Wait until the three materials are completely mixed into red molten iron, and then slowly pour it into the mold. Every step is done with extreme care. After a few moments, the molten iron cooled, and slowly formed the prototype of a dagger, which was demolded and hammered.
Bite......
Bite......
Bite......
Xie Lang almost held his breath, watching the dagger gradually take shape, and as soon as he hammered down, he only heard a crisp sound of metal breaking, and two sections were broken at the handle of the dagger.
There is no doubt that this is a failed casting.
I didn't expect to be able to achieve it overnight, and failure is reasonable. Xie Lang collected his mood and immediately started the second casting. This time, I used fine iron ore, hoping to increase the success rate a little.
The second casting began, but I didn't expect that as soon as I put the materials in, I would blow up the furnace before the fusion was completed, and all the materials spewed out from the mouth of the furnace, and the thick black smoke was mixed with molten iron, as if a small volcano was erupting.
It's the first time I've encountered such a situation after so many casts.
Xie Lang's face was blackened, and half of his blood was blown up. It's good that it's just a game, otherwise this little life might have been explained like this.
If the first casting failure can put the blame on Darth's hammer, then the second time is completely caused by their own operation, the iron ore is missing a piece and does not put it began to put bronze ore, only to find out that the iron ore has not been put enough, hurriedly make up for it, and only then put it down, and this scene happened in front of you.
I really want to slap myself hard, and I wonder why I can make such a low-level mistake.
Sit down and eat a few loaves of bread, and then get your health full, he doesn't want to be the first player in Engre to be killed by the furnace.
Clean up the site and start the third casting.
I've failed twice in a row, and if I fail again, I feel a little hanging. Thinking that it really can't be done, if you replace it with an ordinary casting hammer, you can also increase the chance of success a lot, and even if you can successfully cast, it may not be able to make the quality +1, after all, that chance is only 20%.
I took a deep breath and patted my face a few times, what did I think? Failing twice scares you?
This moment refuses to be cowardly!
Before starting for the third time, Xie Lang put the required materials on the case, carefully checked them, and made sure that there were no omissions before starting casting.
Black iron ore, iron ore, and bronze ore are put in turn, and the time must be accurate. Wait until the molten iron cools and forms, and the Darth Hammer is at an even speed
Degrees and power hammered against the phantom thorns, extremely rhythmic.
Bite......
Bite......
Bite......
Beating again and again, like striking an indescribable piece of music, skimmed off the mess in his mind, and his heart calmed down, and gradually entered a state, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.
System: Phantom Thorn Casting Success, Casting Experience +2.
It worked?
Xie Lang did not have the ecstasy he imagined in his heart, but was very calm, it was just that state, a feeling of selflessness, failure seemed to become less important, the heart went at will, and success seemed to be natural.
The silver-white dagger body is like a condensed jade, and the blade like a streamer faintly reveals a hint of coldness, this is a handicraft cast by himself, and he does not hesitate to do so.
Phantom Thorn (Elite), physical attack power 23-32, increases agility by 5, comes with 6% attack frequency, 8% armor piercing damage, requires level 10. Forger: Xie Lang.
It's worth it! This dagger has been made, and all the investment has been rewarded!
