Volume 1 Chapter 44 Metamorphosis
Zhen Shanren went out of the tavern and returned to the grocery store, he was in a very complicated mood at this time, he preemptively established a mercenary group in Bandle City with a bayonet, but the buyer who sold the gold coins was a bayonet.
He regarded all the team as imaginary enemies, and he was worried that this time the enemy would make him face an even more powerful Scarlet Guild, not to mention that one mountain could not tolerate two tigers, and sooner or later he would have to face the bayonet.
After all, he thought that he was just a low-level person, unable to compete with the powerful Scarlet Guild at all, and he was worried that the power he had worked so hard to build would disappear in an instant, and although the deal was successfully completed, it would make him suffer from both gains and losses.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he was confused, the appearance of the bayonet made him feel very frightened, and how should he deal with the next group of forces that appeared one after another? The more Zhen Shanren thought about it, the more annoyed and worried.
I poured a few bottles of barley wine into my mouth, and I didn't stop my thoughts until my mind was a little dizzy, and I wanted to find something to do to dispel the distracting thoughts in my mind. But the man had already unknowingly come to the blacksmith's shop, paid for a forge, and began to hammer it one by one, as if he wanted to smash the restlessness and distractions in his heart.
Maybe it really works, as time passes, all kinds of ores become weapons, Zhen Shanren has gathered his thoughts and began to forge them wholeheartedly, he forgot about time and trivialities, like a machine, hammering the ores.
I don't know how long it has been, there have been all kinds of weapons around him, Zhen Shanren mechanically stretched out his left hand, but he took it empty, the person was stunned for a moment and came back to his senses, turned his head and looked around, more than two hundred groups of ores have turned into thousands of black iron weapons, followed by the overwhelming sound of various systems.
Zhen Shanren's eyes were in a trance, and his face was haggard and he shook his head, but he almost fell to the ground, hurriedly supported his body with the forging hammer in his hand, and slowly sat on the ground.
Feeling that his body was very weak, Zhen Shanren opened the panel and looked at the hunger value, which was already as high as 97 points, so frightened, he quickly took out the wine and meat and began to gobble it up.
After half a ring, Zhen Shanren felt that his strength was slowly recovering, and he scratched his head with palpitations, and secretly almost starved to death in the game. Then I opened the friend's message, which was full of messages from a group of team members, and there were more than 20 messages from the Jingxue sisters, Zhen Shanren clicked on the message and looked at it, and was shocked, only to find that he had been forging for two days unconsciously, and quickly replied to everyone with a message, signaling that the forging forgot the time, what should I do.
After processing the message, Zhen Shanren opened the system prompt to check, there were more than 3,000 system prompts, most of which were notifications of forging failure and success, as well as warnings of high hunger value, and the unexpected joy was that his forging was unconsciously promoted to an intermediate forging master, and he could start forging bronze equipment.
Zhen Shanren laughed helplessly at himself, originally planning to forget distracting thoughts through forging, but he didn't expect to have this kind of unexpected joy.
Thinking so in his heart, the figure of the bayonet appeared in his mind again, Zhen Shanren hammered the head of the hammer with some distress, and secretly scolded himself for not being angry, and a bayonet that had not yet risen made himself like this.
Zhen Shanren pressed down the figure in his mind with a bitter face, looking at the low-level black iron weapons all over the ground, and the black iron weapons around the fifteenth level are now no longer in the market. After thinking about it, he called the owner of the blacksmith shop, pointed to the weapons on the ground and said with a disgusted expression: "Boss, I sold them to you, how much can you see?"
The blacksmith shop owner looked around, and only after a quarter of an hour did he reply with disdain: "It's all rubbish, one piece of silver, a total of ten gold." ”
"Are you kidding me? Each piece of black iron sold to adventurers has at least five silver, so even if it is sold at half price, it won't be so low, right? Zhen Shanren stared at his eyes and retorted loudly with surprise on his face.
The blacksmith boss buttoned his nostrils, snorted on the ground, raised his hand and pointed to the weapons around him, and said disgustedly: "This garbage is also black iron?" Giving you a piece of silver is the recovery price of the ore, because the amount is large and it has been quenched, so it gives you such a discount, otherwise at most 60 copper coins, you like to sell it or not. ”
Zhen Shanren, who was in a bad mood, heard the fire, even if he was not short of money, he couldn't tolerate the other party to cheat him like this, he approached the blacksmith boss with his fists, and said in an emotional voice: "You open your dog's eyes wide to show Lao Tzu clearly, this is a black iron weapon, not an ore." ”
"I'll take out one of the weapons you forged, and then go back to the furnace to rebuild them, and see the difference between the black iron you and the black iron you forged, and the uncle will let you see what a real black iron tool is." The blacksmith boss stretched out his hand and touched the spit on his face, and shouted angrily with a flushed face.
"Okay, Lao Tzu will wait and see, if the black iron you forge is stronger than the one I forged, Lao Tzu will give you this batch of weapons for free." Zhen Shanren was already carried away by anger, and his eyes were red and he replied loudly.
The blacksmith boss sneered twice, picked up two level 15 black iron one-handed swords, the attributes were exactly the same, threw one to the ground, picked up the other and put it into the furnace fire, and after a while, the one-handed sword turned into an ore liquid, flowing out of the groove under the furnace, and when the liquid cooled down into a lump of iron, he picked up the forging hammer and began to beat it.
Zhen Shanren has calmed down, he knows that the black iron forged by the blacksmith shop owner must be stronger than his own, but he doesn't know where the strength is, he doesn't care about these dozens of gold coins, the secret way is to spend money to buy a lesson, and he is watching it with relish on the sidelines, but he can't see any difference between the blacksmith boss's actions and himself.
In less than five minutes, the blacksmith boss threw the forged one-handed sword over.
Zhen Shanren took the weapon and looked at it, the attribute was more than thirty percent stronger, naturally it was better than the weapon he forged, and he waved his hand and said: "The attribute of the weapon you forged is thirty percent higher than mine, naturally you won, and I will give you all this batch of weapons without taking a penny." ”
"Just attributes? You try it with two swords. The blacksmith boss looked at Zhen Shanren with disdain, and mocked loudly in anger.
Zhen Shanren was secretly surprised when he heard this, the same ore in the heart, the texture and toughness should be the same, could it be that there are other differences in addition to attribute enhancement?
At the same time, he was also interested in his heart, in his previous life, his life occupation was also a blacksmith, he had always been forging like this, if he could master new forging skills, even if he did not specialize in blacksmithing, he could greatly improve his forging path.
Thinking of this, Zhen Shanren picked up the black iron one-handed sword forged by himself, held the blacksmith boss forged it with his left hand, and swung the sword hard with both hands at the same time. There was a piercing sound of gold and iron clashing in the small forging room, and the aftermath lingered for a long time, making his ears numb.
After half a ring, Zhen Shanren relieved himself, raised the one-handed sword forged by the blacksmith boss on his left hand and looked at it, the blade was flat, just like the appearance that had just been baked before, and then looked at the one-handed sword he forged, and a half-inch deep gap appeared in the inch-wide sword body, he believed that if it was two warriors who were attacking with all their strength, his weapon would definitely be cut into two pieces.
Looking at the one-handed sword he forged with a dumbfounded eye, Zhen Shanren was full of incredulity, his heart was full of curiosity, and his heart was extremely itchy, so he hurriedly trotted in front of the blacksmith boss, bent down and asked: "How did you do it, how can there be such a big difference in the same material and forging technique?" ”
The blacksmith boss touched his white beard triumphantly, and said arrogantly: "Don't doubt it now?" You still don't believe it when you say that you are forging garbage, you have to compare with the uncle, boy, you are still too young. ”
Zhen Shanren was speechless when he heard this, but he really wanted to master this technique, so he could only compliment him shamelessly: "What do you always say, I don't know the height of the sky, your forging technique has definitely thrown me off a hundred streets, how did you do it?" ”
Looking at Zhen Shanren's eager expression, the blacksmith boss laughed happily, but instantly restrained his smile and said with a serious face: "This, this is the master's secret inheritance, and it cannot be taught to others." After speaking, he vaguely stretched out his right thumb and index finger towards Zhen Shanren, and kept rubbing his fingers.
Zhen Shanren almost laughed, thinking that if he liked money, he quickly took out a hundred gold and stuffed it into the blacksmith boss's hand, and continued to grovel and flatter: "Look at what you say, I will be your apprentice in the future, so that you will not break your oath, you say yes!" ”
The blacksmith boss swept the money bag in his hand, narrowed his eyes into a line, put away the money bag and patted Zhen Shanren's shoulder and laughed: "Yes, then I can explain to the master, and you will be half of my apprentice in the future." ”
Zhen Shanren secretly scolded the other party for being shameless, and at the same time took the opportunity to ask: "Master, teach me, how did you do it just now?" ”
"Why is the weapon I forged with the same ore stronger than yours, in fact, there is no way to cheat, first of all, the texture and melting point of various ores, we must understand each ore in detail, and then through continuous practice to choose the ore ratio, so that the properties will be improved a lot. As for tenacity, why is the difference so obvious in the same technique, hammering is the key, you have to remember, even if it is in the furnace fire, but there are still a lot of impurities, hammering is to remove the impurities, so that the various ores are more closely combined, not just the process on the design drawing. ”
Looking at Zhen Shanren, who was thinking down, the blacksmith boss then opened his mouth to point: "Don't go through the form to understand the ore and forging diagram, everything must find the root, the root of forging lies in the ore, the success of a weapon depends on the toughness in addition to the attributes, and you must remember that striking iron also needs its own hardness." ”
Zhen Shanren recalled the forging details between him and the blacksmith boss, obviously the beating process was more uniform with the other party, and his understanding of various ores was beyond his own knowledge, and the secret channel system in his heart was really a pit, and he also secretly blamed himself for being careless, just like the combat professional skills have a degree of completion, life skills naturally have other difficulties.
Zhen Shanren was about to thank the blacksmith boss, when he suddenly heard the other party's voice, he stood still for a moment, and the last sentence that the blacksmith boss said kept coming to his mind, "Iron needs to be hard."
Thinking of the fear that the rise of the enemy and other teams after seeing the bayonet would lead to the decline of the Star Mercenary Group, he was devastated and panicked.
Zhen Shanren, who came back to his senses, secretly scolded himself for being really confused, he was already far ahead of other players, the first mercenary group and various first kills, his own star mercenary group has become famous, plus more than 10,000 leading level masters, and there are also a large number of life players, as well as the support of the store that is making money every day, plus his incomparable rebirth advantage, as long as he does not relax, no one can shake the leading position of the star mercenary group.
Thinking of this, Zhen Shanren bent down and bowed to the blacksmith boss, and after getting up, his tone was sincere, and he said gratefully: "Thank you!" ”
At this moment, the gloom in his heart was gone, the pride in his chest gradually grew, and there was a change in his mind that he had not even noticed, he began to become confident, his eyes were full of determination, he was not afraid of all kinds of opponents, he would trample all the obstacles and challengers under his feet, until no one dared to oppose him...
