Volume 1 Chapter 44 Metamorphosis
Xiong Sheng left 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, and the buyer who sold the gold coins was the bitter lord bayonet, Xiong Sheng said in his heart that there may be his own providence, and there will be gains and losses.
Xiong Sheng regarded all the team as imaginary enemies, and he was worried that this time the enemy would make him face a more powerful Scarlet Guild, not to mention that one mountain could not tolerate two tigers, and he would have to face the bayonet sooner or later.
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.
Xiong Sheng's heart was mixed with nonsense, the more he thought about it for a while, 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 large teams that appeared one after another, the more Xiong Sheng thought about it, the more annoyed and worried.
I poured a few bottles of barley wine into my mouth, and I didn't calm down until my mind was a little dizzy, and I thought that I had to find something to do, and I scattered some thoughts, and the whole person unconsciously went out of the grocery store and came to the blacksmith shop. I paid for a forge, and began to hammer and pound, as if I wanted to smash the uneasiness and distractions in my heart.
Maybe it really works, as time passes, all kinds of ores become weapons, Xiong Sheng has gathered his mind and began to forge it wholeheartedly, he forgets time and trivialities, and hits the ore like a machine.
I don't know how long it has been, there have been all kinds of weapons around him, Xiong Sheng mechanically stretched out his left hand, but he took it empty, the whole person was stunned for a moment and came back to his senses, turned his head to look around, more than two hundred groups of ore have turned into thousands of black iron weapons, followed by the overwhelming sound of various systems.
Xiong Sheng's eyes were in a trance, 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 then slowly sat on the ground, he felt that his body was very weak, and after looking at the hunger value of 97 points, he quickly took out the wine and meat and began to gobble it up.
Half a ring Xiong Sheng felt that his strength slowly recovered, and his heart almost became the first player to starve to death in the game, and then opened the system notification, which was full of messages from a group of team members, and the Jingxue sisters had more than 20 messages, Xiong Sheng 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 Sister Jingxue and King Kong, signaling the forging to forget the time, why should I go as usual.
After processing the message, Xiong Sheng opened the system prompts, and there were more than 3,000 system prompts, most of which were notifications of forging failures and successes, as well as warnings of excessive hunger value.
Xiong Sheng laughed helplessly, originally planned to forget distracting thoughts through forging, but there was an unexpected joy, shook his head, the figure of the bayonet appeared in his mind again, Xiong Sheng hammered his head with some distress, and secretly scolded himself for not being angry, and a bayonet that had not yet risen made himself like this.
Xiong Sheng looked at the low-level black iron weapons on the ground with a bitter face, there is no market for the black iron weapons around the fifteenth level, he thought about it and called the owner of the blacksmith shop, looked at the weapons on the ground and said with a disgusted face: "Boss, they have all been sold to you, you can see how much it is."
The blacksmith shop owner looked around, and after a full quarter of an hour, he said 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? Xiong Sheng retorted loudly with a look of surprise in his eyes.
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 one 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 sixty copper coins, you like to sell it or not."
Xiong Sheng, who was in a bad mood, heard the fire, even if he was not short of this 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 it, and see what the difference between the black iron you and the black iron forged by me is, Uncle will let you see what the real black iron is" The blacksmith boss stretched out his hand and touched the spit Xingzi on his face, and his face was flushed with anger.
"Okay, Lao Tzu will wait and see, if the black iron sword you forged is stronger than the one I forged, this batch of weapons Lao Tzu will give you for free" Xiong Sheng was already carried away by anger and disappointment, 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 an iron lump, he picked up the forging hammer and began to beat it.
Xiong Sheng has calmed down, he knows that the black iron weapon 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, and the secret way is regarded as spending 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.
Xiong Sheng took the weapon and saw that 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 this batch of weapons will be given to you without taking a penny."
"Just attributes? You try it with two swords," the blacksmith boss looked at Xiong Sheng with disdain, and mocked loudly in anger.
Xiong Sheng was secretly surprised, hearing the words of the blacksmith boss, the same ore in his heart, the texture and toughness should be the same, could it be that there are other differences in addition to attribute enhancement? Xiong Sheng was also interested in his heart, in his previous life, his life occupation was also a blacksmith, and he was forging like this, if he could master this skill of the blacksmith boss, even if he didn't specialize in forging, he could improve his forging path incomparably greatly.
Picking up the black iron one-handed sword forged by himself on the ground with his right hand, and holding the blacksmith boss with his left hand, Xiong Sheng swung his sword with both hands at the same time, and there was a piercing sound of gold and iron striking in the small forging room, and the aftermath did not disperse for a long time, and Xiong Sheng's ears were numb.
After relieving himself in the middle of the sound, Xiong Sheng raised the one-handed sword forged by the blacksmith boss in 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 forged by himself in his right hand, and there was a half-inch-deep gap in the inch-wide sword body, Xiong Sheng 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 dumbfounded, Xiong Sheng was full of incredulity, his heart was full of curiosity, and his heart was extremely itchy, and he hurriedly asked the blacksmith boss: "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 beard triumphantly, and said proudly: "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."
Xiong Sheng was speechless when he heard this, but he really wanted to master this technique, so he could only compliment him shamelessly: "What do you keep saying, I don't know the height of the sky, your forging technique has definitely thrown me a hundred streets, how did you do it?" ”
The blacksmith boss laughed happily, looking at Xiong Sheng's eager expression, but instantly restrained his smile, and said with a serious face, "This, this is the master's secret, and you can't teach and sell others", after speaking, he vaguely stretched out his right thumb and index finger to Xiong Sheng, and kept rubbing his fingers.
Xiong Sheng almost laughed, thinking that if he liked money, he quickly took out a hundred gold and took two steps forward and stuffed it into the hands of the blacksmith boss, groveling and flattering: "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 flipped the money bag in his hand, his eyes narrowed into a line, put away the money bag and patted Xiong Sheng's shoulder and laughed: "Yes, then I can explain to the master, and you will be half my apprentice in the future."
Xiong Sheng secretly scolded the other party for being shameless and asked, "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 choose the ore ratio through continuous practice, 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 after the furnace fire, 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."
Seeing Xiong Sheng looking down and thinking, the blacksmith boss then pointed out: "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."
Xiong Sheng recalled the forging details between him and the blacksmith boss, obviously the beating process was more evenly matched, and his understanding of various ores was beyond his own knowledge.
Xiong Sheng's heart suddenly opened, and he was about to thank the blacksmith boss, when he suddenly heard the other party's voice again, and 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.
Xiong Sheng 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 a large number of life players and 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, Xiong Sheng bent down and bowed to the blacksmith boss, got up and sincerely said gratefully: "Thank you", at this moment the haze in his heart was gone, the pride in his chest gradually grew, and his mind underwent some kind of change that he was not aware of, 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 go against him...
