Serious sand molds are not all made of sand, but are mixed with sand and clay after screening, kneaded many times, and then shaped and dried before being cast. Su Cheng didn't have that time, so he had to use an "improper" way.

He inserted the finished knife in the shape of a wooden board to fix it, then sandwiched three wooden strips cut into three angular shapes between the blades, adjusted the position and planted the sand layer by layer, and finally pulled out the wooden strips and poured them with molten iron.

Thirty knives were used up, and he opened the first sand mold and was given a "shoddy solid demon*". The system prompts: "You have used the Sand Mold, and your blacksmith skills have improved." And then there's a flurry of "Casting failures, you get a share of the iron-rich ore!" ". It wasn't until the last one that it succeeded again.

Both *, although both have fixed the two attributes of ignoring defense and bleeding, but the chance of ignoring defense is only 20 to 30%. This time the casting was clearly a failure.

Zhao Tiehammer played with it and was still a little hot*: "The yield is too low, Orange, it's not cost-effective!" ”

This proportion has been more than double that of Su Cheng's handmade. Su Cheng threw eight iron-rich ores into the scrap iron pile of the shop: "Yes, uncle." However, my sand casting method is still feasible, at least for large pieces of rough benzene ironware. Have you learned? The last sentence is a joke.

After all, Zhao Tiezhu is also an intermediate blacksmith: "That's right. If the grinding and cutting methods are skillful, some slightly finer iron tools can also be cast. ”

This is a costly and powerful solid magic weapon, and it cannot be wasted. Su Cheng added a wooden handle, converted * into a three-edged throwing gun, and took it back to the room.

After "eating" lunch, the five little ones discussed whether they should go around the area that was already open to level 10 newcomers, try their ability to make money by themselves, and try their luck to see if there are any clues to new tasks.

As soon as they said go, Su Cheng and the water elf brought their pets, and the others each prepared baskets, ropes and other tools, and went to the collection area of the novice village with weapons.

It is a shrub forest near the mountains. There are mushrooms, wild fruits, and herbs to collect in the forest, as well as rabbits, pheasants, and turtle doves that are worth catching. Although the value of this game is low, it is tantamount to a cornucopia for the vast majority of players who only have a few copper plates around them.

There are many players and slow refreshes, which are the characteristics here. Fortunately, these five people have seen gold and silver coins from Su Cheng, and they have a high immunity to copper plates.

A basket of mushrooms and two hares. Inquire about the "township party" who has been here for two days, and know that the mushrooms can be handed over to the parents, and a basket will be rewarded with two copper plates. Hares can be given to parents or sold to butchers. Give it to the family, one or two copper plates, and sell it to the butcher, it is three copper plates. It is said that the most capable player is a player called "Wild Survival Maniac", who earned a "huge amount of money" of 50 copper plates in one day! ”

The player, called "Brother Cannon", saw that they were not interested, so he teased Angela and said, "There are deer and roe deer here, which are rare." It is said that the price is in silver coins. Really! I've seen it. But I don't have a weapon, and I don't have the strength to catch such a large prey. You have weapons, you can beat them in groups, and you can kill them at once! ”

Unexpectedly, Angela only had love for "beautiful deer, roe deer" or something: "You are too cruel." I decided a long time ago that I would not kill a living player. Deer and roe deer? Hum! Even if I saw it, I wouldn't tell you! ”

The tiger hand hurriedly complied: "My family's angel mm is the kindest!" ”。

The artillery brother pointed to the rabbit on his back: "Cut!" What kind of sheep are you pretending to be with a rabbit on your back? He left one disdainful and turned away.

Chu Xue Emei smiled and inserted a knife: "What kind of sheep are you pretending to be with a rabbit on your back?" ”

Ah Fei gave a thumbs up to the artillery brothers: "To the point." ”

The Tiger Hand pursed his lips and shouted at the player, "Dude, curse you for eating noodles without a seasoning pack!" Before he could say a word, the artillery brothers suddenly turned around and rushed towards him, shouting: "Rabbit, rabbit, don't let it go...... Oops, I'll go! He seemed to have tripped under his feet, and suddenly fell on his stomach.

The five of them immediately lined up in a fan shape, but saw a white rabbit running into the encirclement. Eleven Lang jumped up and bit it, and the white rabbit suddenly jumped into Angela's arms, and Angela lifted her skirt and took it right!

Angela blushed and quickly squatted down, holding the rabbit and constantly comforting.

Everyone looked closely, this was a snow-white rabbit, still trembling under Angela's petting, and a pair of red eyes opened and closed uncertainly.

The artillery brothers had already run in front of them at this time, and when they saw Angela catching the rabbit, they reached out and grabbed it, but they were hit on the wrist by Ah Fei's split: "What are you doing?" This is what we caught! ”

The cannon brother said: "This rabbit is still young, I can catch it without you!" Give it back! ”

Su Cheng saw that Angela was still comforting the rabbit, and didn't look at the artillery brothers at all, so he stepped forward and said, "Brother, this rabbit was caught by us after all." How about you find merit and give you two copper plates? ”

The artillery brothers did not follow: "No! This little rabbit can be used as a pet and can be sold for five copper plates. You don't know about me? Suddenly, seeing that the five people had surrounded him, he quickly changed his words: "At least three copper plates!" ”

The tiger hand said angrily: "Don't you put your nose on the face?" "A sword is a slash. But it was slashed on a pale yellow light, "PK is forbidden in the safe zone, please pay attention to your behavior!" ”

"Hahaha, it's great to have a knife?" The artillery brothers laughed, raised their legs and put a foot on the belly of the tiger binder, and actually kicked the tiger hand to the ground.

At this moment, the artillery brother himself was stunned - why can't he cut me, but I can kick him?

Chu Xue Emei and Su Cheng reacted first. Just because you can't PK doesn't mean you can't fight.

The two of them started to move together, not using their weapons, punching and kicking!

The Tiger Tier and Ah Fei figured out the joints and immediately joined the group fight. The artillery brothers lay on the ground and rolled around, leaving countless small footprints on their bodies, and scolded in their mouths: "I'll rub, you guys are beating, you have the ability to fight alone!" ”

Chu Xue Emei had already stopped, and when she saw this, she grabbed the three of them.

When the artillery brothers got up, everyone burst into laughter. I saw that he was covered with footprints, his nose was blue and his eyes were swollen, and there was a nosebleed on his face!

"You want to go head-to-head with us?" Su Cheng stepped forward and asked.

Brother Cannon is not stupid, first look at your attributes and then decide to go head-to-head with that! Then he cried: "You bully! You can beat me ten by yourself...... Woooooo ”

Looks like he's really a kid! Su Cheng looked at each other: "Okay, okay, I'll give you five copper plates!" You know, we caught the rabbit, and if we don't give you points, no one can say that we are unreasonable! ”

"Woo woo, I don't want copper plates, I'm going to follow you, so that no one dares to bully me...... Whining! ”

Su Cheng:"#¥%......&*......&%###%"

Artillery brothers: "If you don't want to, I'll go back and sue my godfather and godmother!" ”

It's a bit troublesome to beat a crying child to attract a father! Ah Fei couldn't hold back his laughter easily: "Okay, okay!" But only with one! Take your pick! ”

They all thought that he would pick Su Cheng, and they all waited to see Su Cheng's joke with a slug's little tail, but unexpectedly, the artillery brother chose Angela: "Sister, you are so beautiful, let me follow you!" ”

Angela was dumbfounded, and several people couldn't help laughing anymore!

"I don't know how to fight, you, why are you following me?"

"Sister Angela, I'm following you, whoever bullies me is bullying you! These big brothers won't watch you being bullied! The artillery brother turned his head and asked Su Cheng, "Isn't it?" ”

Giving Angela a color, Su Cheng said to the artillery brothers: "Artillery battles, you can follow anyone, but you are not allowed to be as unreasonable as just now." Ah Hu, even if you tie the tiger's hand, what you did is not right, you hold hands, it should be considered reconciliation! ”

"Hmmm! Let's reconcile! As soon as the cannon grabbed the hand of the tiger binding: "In the future, you will be my big brother, whoever dares to bully me, you have to help me flatten him!" ”

"Helping you flatten people, it seems to be your little brother's business, right? Are you recognizing a big brother or a thug? Tiger Hand thought to himself.

"Oops, the bunny has become my pet, what should I do?" Angela shouted.

Everyone wondered, "What's the matter, Angela?" Is there a prompt in the system? Let's talk about it! ”

Angela: "Just now, the system prompted that this little white rabbit wants to recognize me as the master, and asks me if I want to!" Of course I agree! The system said that I was the first player in the Western Regions Frost City to successfully own a living pet, and rewarded me with a pet space! ”

"Take it out and see!"

Angela flipped her little hand, and a small moon-white cloth pocket appeared. Click to view: pet space, which can accommodate a living pet. Can be hung on your waist or under your backpack. Pets are in absolute safety when they are in the pet space.

Look at the rabbit again, at this moment Angela was placed on the ground, but did not run away, only jumped around Angela's feet. Attributes: Life pet, level one, loyalty eighty. (unnamed)

Angela tried to walk a few steps away, and the rabbit immediately caught up with her. Angela picked up the rabbit and exclaimed, "Great, I have a pet!" ”

Chu Xue Emei smiled: "Yes, Angela has also created a first in Frost City!" Come up with a name and let's go around! ”

The artillery brothers ran up to Angela and touched the rabbit's long ears: "I'll get up, I'll get up." It's called An An, okay? ”

Angela praised: "Yes, it's called An An." The next one can be called Kiki! ”

Tiger Hand Interface: "The third one is called Lala!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and Angela's face suddenly darkened: "Your name is Lala!" ”

Seeing everyone laughing, the artillery brothers were puzzled: "Sister Angela, it's nice to be called Lala!" ”

Su Cheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, okay, we have a good harvest today." It is beneficial for everyone to go around and understand the style of their hometown, which is conducive to everyone discovering and completing the task. Let's go! ”

"Gunner, how old are you?" Someone asked.

The artillery brothers shouted, "Fifteen! ”

"Cannonball, talk well!"

"10-year-old ......"

"How old are you?"

"Nine-year-old ......" is getting quieter and quieter.

Can you play games at nine?

Absolutely! Su Cheng cut out the Internet and inquired, only to know that he can play online games over the age of eight. Unlike adults, the children's game interface is cartoonish, and the characters and monsters are cute, and there will never be bloody skeletons and other pictures. The time limit is also strict, with a minimum of three hours of play on a day.

When the group walked to a dry river, the artillery brothers suddenly shouted: "My time is up, goodbye sister...... Add my friend, ah......" The character then fogged and gradually disappeared.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo" The cuckoo cries were heard not far away.

Chu Xue Emei: "Orange, it seems that there is a cuckoo following us." There may really be a follow-up mission. ”

Su Cheng was holding a stone and looking at it carefully, and replied casually: "If your child is caught by me, you will follow me." All right. ”

Chu Xue Emei spat him: "Nonsense! What is there to see about this stone? ”

Su Cheng smiled: "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now." This stone is not ordinary, this is a piece of jade. The quality of the material is not as good as the mutton fat jade, and it is an ordinary white jade with better quality! ”

In the Western Regions, people may not necessarily recognize jade, but there is absolutely no one who has not heard of mutton fat jade! The best quality sheep fat jade, as long as the amount reaches a certain level, its value is almost comparable to that of a diamond!

"Wow, Brother Orange, you still have this ability! Teach me teach me and I want to learn this! "Angela has star-eyed eyes.

Ah Fei showed a surprised look: "Realistic skills? ”

Su Cheng spread his hands: "I can't teach you this!" "Ore Identification" is a golden advanced skill. Everyone, pay attention, all the stones that look pleasing to the eye, bring them to me to help you identify! ”

"Freak!" Chu Xue Emei said sourly. Our skills are either apprentice level or low-level ordinary skills, how can your advanced skills and high-level skills emerge endlessly? "Does jade work?" ”

That's to the point. In ordinary games, most of the useful ores are iron, copper, gold and silver, and high-level crystals and gems. The jade category is rarely included.

Su Cheng checked the jade in his hand: "Ore rich in life energy." It seems that the usefulness and usage will have to wait for the future development. ”

Along the way, all the way, Su Cheng has thrown away dozens of stones that everyone picked up, and none of them are the jade that everyone expected! Angela waved a fist-sized yellow stone in her hand, "This one must be." Brother Orange, you're a liar! "Okay, you can take it back. I might be blind, too! Su Cheng was helpless.

A low, slightly desolate call sounded as a cuckoo landed on a stone not far from the crowd. The bird was smaller than a pigeon, slightly elongated, with tawny feathers and a handful of short phoenix feathers on its head.

"This is the cuckoo? It's ugly! Chu Xue Emei smiled, she really had never seen this kind of bird. In fact, cuckoos are cautious by nature and rarely come close to other species.

"Cuckoo" The cuckoo called again, as if he understood the words of Chu Xue Emei, and was very dissatisfied.

Su Cheng smiled: "A very spiritual bird, you gave us a big gift!" ”

He stepped forward, and the cuckoo flew up, but landed on a stone not far away. Su Cheng looked at the cuckoo, stretched out his hand and patted the stone where the cuckoo was standing just now, which was the size of two basketballs. Seeing that the cuckoo nodded and screamed, Su Cheng bent down to protect the stone, and his whole body exerted his strength together, "Hey......" hugged the stone: "Thank you, little bird." Let's go back. This is a piece of jade, but it's not light! ”

The cuckoo flew in front, and everyone followed.

"Cuckoos rarely come close to other animals, including humans." Su Cheng explained: "And the cuckoo is not an ordinary bird. It has a phoenix feather, which is the handful of sharp feathers on its head! According to myths and legends, the cuckoo has phoenix blood! ”

Chu Xue Emei said: "I have seen a specimen of a rhododendron in the Natural History Museum, and the feathers are with black-brown spots, and there is no phoenix feather!" ”

"But the phoenix bloodline of the cuckoo is very thin, and only about thirty percent of them have phoenix feathers!" Su Cheng glanced at Chu Xue Emei: "This cuckoo's phoenix feather is already much longer than an ordinary cuckoo, so I said that this is a very spiritual bird!" ”

Tie the tiger's hands and fool his head: "Brother Yu, is it that Mao Chang has spirituality?" ”

"Hug it!" Su Cheng put the stone into the arms of the tiger: "That's Feng Ling!" It's not the same thing as your killer Matt hairstyle! Jin Sheng Lishui, what's the next sentence? ”

The tiger hand is not completely ignorant, seeing that others are laughing, he said proudly: "Jade out of Kungang!" Who doesn't know about Kyushu Huaxia? ”

"Jade out of Kungang, put it in the game, it means that the Western Regions Frost City produces jade! Do you know that phoenix sycamore? ”

"You know, it's not that the phoenix doesn't fall to rest when it meets the sycamore! Brother Yu, this stone is so heavy! Or you hold it! ”

Ah Fei stepped forward and took the stone: "I'll go, it's really heavy." In Zhuangzi's "Autumn Water", it is said that the phoenix 'does not inhabit unless it is a sycamore, it does not eat unless it is practiced, and it does not drink if it is not a liquor'. This is a compliment to the noble quality of the phoenix. ”

"Okay, and the story of He's Bi, who knows?"

Angela replied, "I see." Bian He saw that the phoenix was perched on the stone and knew that there was beautiful jade in it. That is to say, in addition to perching on the sycamore, the phoenix will also settle on the jade. This cuckoo has phoenix blood, so it can also identify beautiful jade! ”

"Answer correctly, but no extra points! Jade will definitely be useful, and when I find a way to make it, I'll give each of you a jade ornament! ”

Back home, Su Cheng first took the cage holding the little cuckoo to the yard and hung it. I don't know how Aunt Jane fed it, but after a day's work, the little cuckoo has grown a lot bigger. He flew to the cage by the old cuckoo to feed the intimacy, and handed the two rabbits to Aunt Jane: "Godmother, does anyone in the village understand jade?" ”

Aunt Jane said: "There is no jade mine near the village, I have only heard that some people occasionally pick it up. Did you bring back jade? The old village chief knows a little, so you can ask him to come over and have a look. ”

Ah Fei answered and asked the village chief, and Su Cheng and Angela put the three stones in a pile.

After the old man came, he directly picked up Angela's yellow stone and looked at it for a long time: "This is Gobi jade, although it is a little smaller, it can be worth a few silver coins." These two pieces, the old man can't say. In addition to Gobi jade, there is no other jade production near the village. ”

Angela's little face bulged: "Brother Orange, I almost blinded you!" ”

Su Cheng smiled bitterly: "Village Chief, what is the quality of this jade?" ”

"The best quality of jade produced in the Western Regions is mutton fat jade, followed by jasper and white jade, and the most important is Gobi jade. Of course, the best gobi jade is also more valuable than ordinary jasper white jade. Your two stones may be jasper and white jade, and the old man can't recognize them. You can take it to the city and give it to the jade craftsman for identification later. ”

Chu Xue Emei smiled: "Angela, your stone can be thrown away." You forgot, Orange doesn't see low-grade ores! He can't find iron ore in iron ore! ”

The village chief said, "Don't throw it away!" High-quality jade is said to stimulate life energy. Yihe Mansion under the jurisdiction of Shuangcheng is the origin and birthplace of jade, and someone must be able to identify and process it. It's just that you have enough strength to go. ”

"I have work in the afternoon." Su Cheng said: "I want to build a set of jade carving knives!" ”

"Do you have friends who know jade? Be sure to make good friends. In the Western Regions and even in the entire Twilight Continent, jade raw materials and processes are a high-value circulation. The village chief commanded.

The production areas of sheep fat jade are concentrated in the Ili River Valley of Xinjiang, and the resources are said to have been exhausted long ago. However, the annual flood still produces very little from the cliff side of the highlands. Its traditional carving process has also been almost lost.

This is not a difficult thing for Su Cheng. Among his knife customers, there is a jade carving master's information: Little Avanti. The son of Avanti, a master of traditional jade carving. Little Avanti is lively and cheerful, and has been learning jade carving from his father, and is engaged in the business of processing and trading jade raw materials and carved pieces. As a business that has not been opened for three years and has been open for three years, little Avanti's life is very boring, coupled with his own out-of-the-box character, Su Cheng can conclude that he will enter "Holy Path"

A summoning spell was issued, and a hologram of little Avanti appeared above the phone: "Hi, my friend, how do you know I want to find you?" "It's so enthusiastic.

"I built a golden skinning knife yesterday that increases the level of your skinning skills! What do you think? ”

"Well, don't mention it, I don't even have a white carving knife right now! What did you say? Are you playing Holy Way too? What city are you in? ”

"It takes advanced ores and skills to create a jade carving knife, and I will create a set of knives for you for free every ten levels, so as to ensure that your upgrade needs are above blue! How can you thank me? ”

"Hahaha, you are still the same, you are generous, and you will not suffer! A set of knives for every 10 levels is very much in line with my vision. I'll also carve a set of jade ornaments for you every 10 levels, how about it? ”

"You haven't suffered my loss, have you? Why do you want to make me suffer in the game? I make the raw materials myself, and you carve a three-piece set for me. Plus two parts of the specified shape! "The so-called three-piece set refers to the three kinds of jade ornaments often worn by men: wrenches, waist tags, and pendants (usually necklace pendants). As for what women often wear, there is no fixed number!

"Deal. What's your game name? ”

"My name is Twilight Orange. What about you, Avanti? ”

"I'm Avanti without a beard. There is also a bearded Avanti in our village, don't make a mistake! ”

Su Cheng asked casually, "Avanti with a beard?" Who's that? ”

"That's my dad! If he knew that you were playing "The Holy Way", he would definitely grab you and tell you to make him a golden jade carving knife! Don't make a mistake! ”

"Is there a bearded Avanti?" Su Cheng teased.

"That's my grandfather! However, his old man's eyes are no longer good, and he can no longer carry out jade carving operations. Now I am learning about agricultural planting. ”

Su Cheng glared: "#¥%...... Thank you! I'll be careful! "I can't even mess with a big beard or a long beard! Come on, I've dug a little hole for you, and if your dad doesn't bother me, I'll let you go!
