Chapter 120
"What? This name is too much, right, smashing the pot and striking iron, why does it sound a little awkward? As soon as I heard her name, I immediately refused.
"No, I'm going to call it that, hmph, I'm going to call it, prawns, you remember, the new weapons shop must be called that." Seeing that I didn't agree, Xiao Jie immediately lost her temper and threatened the prawns.
Seeing Xue Jie say this, the prawn looked at her with a helpless smile, then at the walker, and finally turned his gaze to the still water at this time, whether it was for the arrogant Xue Jie or his own boss, it was more effective to still water you.
"Big brother, I think the name Ajie took is quite good, anyway, it's just a weapon shop, let's call it this name, what do you say?" After thinking for a while, Xiao Jing said to me with a smile.
"Okay then." I saw that Xiao Jing said this, so I had to smile helplessly and said.
Seeing that I agreed, the smile on the prawn's face relaxed, and Xiao Jie saw me say this, and said with a smile: "That's it, you see that Ah Jing said that my name is good, hehe, or Ah Jing's vision is good." ”
"That's, that's." I can't afford to mess with this little aunt, she will be unhappy for a while, and I don't know what kind of ghost idea she will come up with, although it has been a long time since this happened, but there is such a person around me, I have to be on guard at all times, not to mention that I just rejected her opinion.
"Hmph, there is no sincerity at first glance, and I always say something against my will." Who knows, I said the wrong thing again this time, Xiao Jie saw me say this, and immediately pulled down her face and said.
Finally, a week later, a weapon shop called Smashing Pots and Iron officially opened, and the strange name immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the street, however, when everyone approached and looked at the announcement at the door, they were even more shocked. Of course, this announcement at the door was my idea.
Thinking that it is not to make money anyway, I decided that all players who come to my weapon shop to upgrade weapons, as long as they prepare the required materials, then the fee charged will be half of what other weapon shops charge, and this weapon shop will also undertake a variety of custom weapons, the price is also favorable, of course, the materials must be made by the players themselves.
What I never expected was that my idea would later lead to a situation where business in the shop was too good and I couldn't keep myself busy, and other weapons shops were left out in the cold and went to the palace to protest to the king, given that I was trying to raise my blacksmith level to the level of a great grandmaster as soon as possible, so that I could forge the shadow blade, although the king was a little unhappy (after all, it affected his taxes), he still put aside the protests of those people and ignored them.
Looking at the crowded crowd at the door, my heart blossomed, the first day caused such a sensational effect, it seems that it will be difficult to think about business in the future, and the price is so cheap, fools will not come to me to get it.
After a busy day, I helped thirteen weapons to upgrade and succeeded 11 times, and I was quite happy to see such a result, and the effect of the first day has been achieved. But when I saw that my blacksmith level had only risen by less than 3% from the advanced to the master level, my heart suddenly cooled, at this rate, it would take more than a month just to rise to the master level, so wouldn't it be more difficult to reach the grandmaster level and the great grandmaster level later? It seems that my blacksmith career is going to be a long time longer than I thought.
This afternoon, I was upgrading a blood drink in the back of the workshop, this knife was the one I had been up, according to my assumption, if nothing else, this last time would definitely be successful, if it was done, it would be my first weapon that succeeded 13 times, my hand trembled a little at the thought of this.
Put the blood drink into the fiery furnace, when the sword body became as red as the burning carbon, I took it out and poured the black iron solution that had been prepared for a long time, the weapon is different from the forging weapon, the forging weapon is to use the raw materials to create the weapon you want, and if you upgrade the weapon, you just use the black iron solution to release the attributes of the weapon itself, so to a large extent, although the strength of the blacksmith itself has a certain impact on the success or failure of the weapon, but the weapon itself determines whether it can eventually become a peerless knife.
So from another point of view, to be a great blacksmith, in addition to being able to upgrade weapons, you must also be able to forge your own weapons, and even more, when your level reaches a certain level, you can create weapons that are not available in the game.
When I first saw the blood drink in my hand, I had a strange feeling in my heart that it must be a good sword that could make its owner proud, and that it would take my blacksmithing skills to another level. Therefore, I am very cautious about today's upgrade, all the steps are carried out by myself, even the melting of black iron is generally done by apprentices, I did not let others interfere, I know very well, although the impact is not great, but at a critical time, the more easily overlooked the steps, the more it can affect the final success or failure of the weapon.
The black iron solution slowly flowed on the red blood drink, making a sizzling sound, and a burst of white smoke rose from the surface of the weapon, which I had never seen before, I held the end of the blood drink tightly, and let it change on its own, I knew that at this time, it was the critical time for the weapon to upgrade, although I had never seen such a scene, but I felt that it was not a bad thing for the weapon itself.
After about 30 seconds, the black iron solution on the blood drink seemed to be completely integrated into the weapon, and the red blood drink seemed to have a faint hint of black, which had never happened before, I stared blankly at the blood drink in my hand, and when it was estimated that it was time to put it in the water to cool, I slowly put it into the water tank on the side.
In an instant, the blood drink had been completely put into the water, however, there was no snorting sound, no water vapor rose, as if the blood drink itself was the same temperature as the water, all of a sudden, I didn't know what to do, I hurriedly took the blood drink out of the water, touched it with my hands, my God, it turned out to be cold, this is impossible, how can such a high-temperature blood drink cool itself in such a short time?
I carefully looked at the blood drink in my hand with incredible eyes, it was originally a white sword body, and now there is a thin black line on it, as if it is a meridian on a person, and then I look at the attributes, I can't believe it even more, it was originally a blood drink with magic plus 12, but now it is plus 14, is this possible? I have never seen such a scene and never heard of such a thing when a weapon upgrade actually added 2 stats.
Just as I was in a daze, the system prompt rang, "Player, Walker, Life Skill, Blacksmith level, reach master level." "Player Walker, Life Skill, Blacksmith Level, Master Level."
What the? Got to the master level? I was so happy that I didn't know what to say, you know, although it has been more than a month, since my experience reached 95%, in the past few days, I have not been able to improve much, it seems to have reached a bottleneck, and now, it has risen by nearly 5%, which is really good.
Haha, I stood in the workshop and laughed wildly, and the people outside didn't know what was going on inside, and they all craned their necks to look inside.
After a long time, I took the handful of blood just now and walked outside, thinking that after such a long time, the customer should not be able to wait, and sure enough, as soon as I left the workshop, I saw that the person was looking at me anxiously.
I raised the blood drink in my hand, handed it over, and said, "It's successful, hehe, congratulations." ”
The man took the blood drink from my hand, looked at it, and was immediately stunned, looked at me with disbelief and said, "No, mine is obviously added 12, how can it be 14 times now, you are not mistaken." ”
Looking at his excited expression, I happily replied, "That's right, this blood drink is yours, and as for why it became like this, it's the first time I've encountered it, so I don't know." ”
The blacksmith in the smashing pot and ironing once upgraded his weapon, and the news of adding two attributes immediately spread throughout the Western Emperor City like wings, and the players who came to see the excitement were still the players, and the weapon shop was crowded. Xiao Jie, who came to inspect my work, saw this scene, and immediately had the urge to collect tickets at the door, and after half a day of persuasion, she dispelled this idea, if she really let her do this, I really don't know what kind of trouble it will cause, I have to be vigilant about this eldest lady at all times.
Since I was promoted to the master level, I have become more aware of how difficult it is for a senior blacksmith to rise to one more level, and the experience value of less than 1% per day makes me really wonder if there is something wrong with my method, and after being puzzled, I have to go to Tie Lao again, he is a master blacksmith, and he must know how to solve the difficulties I am currently experiencing.
After putting down the work on my hand and explaining a few words, I followed the method taught by Tie Lao, and immediately sent myself to the valley where Tie Lao was located with a teleportation ring, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw Tie Lao looking at me with a smile, as if I had known that I would definitely come.
"Tie Lao, I'm here, hehe." I smiled at Tie Lao and said, although he was my teacher, he asked not to call him teacher, at first because he didn't want me to really be his student, and then he said that kind of thing restricted my development.
"Hehe, I knew you should be here recently, but I didn't expect to come so soon, how about it, is it that after you reach a certain level of experience, you can't go up?" Tie Lao asked with a smile, and as he spoke, he picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip.
"Yes, after I was promoted to the master level, my experience points didn't seem to move, and I didn't know what to do, so I had to ask Tie Lao." I replied truthfully.
"What, you've risen to the master level?" Tie Lao put the teacup in his hand on the table, and said in surprise, It was like seeing a monster, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, is there something wrong with being promoted to the master level?
"You must have had some adventures, tell me about it, when you rose to the master level, was there something weird happening?" Iron Elder asked eagerly, got up from his chair, and walked over to me, as if he knew that a little later would kill him.
I immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly told Tie Lao about what happened to me that day, and the more Tie Lao listened, the more serious his face became, which made me tremble.
After a long time, Tie Lao suddenly burst out laughing, haha, haha......
The laughter came from the hut as if it were about to reach the horizon. Finally, Tie Lao stopped, and said excitedly: "Xing, you kid is so lucky, you must know that such an opportunity is really rare in a thousand years, not only to reach a certain level of your own level, but more importantly, a weapon with such attributes is too difficult to find, someone actually sent it to your shop, what a coincidence, I am now moved to do the same as you, to open a weapon shop in the city." ”
"What's going on here? Iron Old. I asked cautiously.
"Hehe, let me tell you slowly, in fact, among all the weapons, some weapons were available in ancient times, although their attributes are ordinary, but that is just a manifestation phenomenon, in their interior, there is a very special substance, until now, no one can say, what is in it, but these things will be in a special situation, produce qualitative changes, so that the attributes of the weapon, a leap. The blood drink you mentioned should belong to this kind of weapon, although the attributes are not very good, but for ordinary weapons, it is already very good. ”
"What's more, upgrading such a weapon will greatly improve your blacksmith skills, which is why your level can break through to the advanced level and reach the master level, of course, in fact, your own strength is still a certain gap from the master level, which is why after you upgrade, the blacksmith experience rises so slowly."
Saying that, Tie Lao paused and continued: "What you have to do now is to continue to consolidate your foundation, of course, according to your current level, I think it's time for you to do something else. ”
"What else?" Hearing Tie Lao say that at the critical time, he actually stopped, and I hurriedly asked.
"In addition to upgrading your weapons now, you can also try to build some weapons yourself, maybe, this will make your blacksmith experience improve faster." Tie Lao said.
"Forging weapons? Didn't you tell me not to try it first, so that I could build a stronger foundation before doing it? I asked curiously.
"Yes, I said this before, mainly to make your foundation more stable, which is very beneficial for you to forge the Shadow Phantom Blade in the future, but now it seems that you have the strength to speed up, don't worry, you try to do it first, if it really doesn't work, don't continue first, anyway, if you do this, it won't do any harm to you, but you have to remember, if you can't do it, don't blindly do it, sometimes, if you can't do it, don't make unnecessary efforts." Iron Lao said solemnly, looking at me with two eyes, making me feel that they were not human eyes, but eagle's.
"Well, I'll remember, don't worry, Tie Lao." I saw him repeatedly emphasize that it was very important to know what he was saying, and I replied solemnly.
"Okay, I believe in you, but I'm afraid that you are too young and inexperienced in some things, which will not be good for you in the future." Tie Lao paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, you go back quickly, what I can do is to help you make some suggestions, everything depends on your own efforts." ”
When I came back from Tie Lao, I locked myself in the workshop and carefully looked at the iron ore in my hand, what kind of thing did I want to knock out? After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to fight Glaive, I am a mage, and it should be easier to build mage things.
After I melted the iron ore, I fought according to the appearance of the glaive, and after half a day of hard work, a brand new glaive finally appeared, although it still looked a little different, but I was very satisfied to be able to fight like this for the first time. However, as soon as I looked at the attributes, I became depressed again, it turned out to be a magic power of 1-2, one lower than the average glaive, it was so funny, my first weapon would be like this.
Looking at the glaive in my hand, I remembered Tie Lao's words again, it seems that building weapons and upgrading weapons is indeed not a matter of a grade, I still have to work harder, thinking of this, I am relieved again, put the glaive in the package to collect the pull, after all, this is the first weapon I built with my own hands, although the attributes are not very good, but the commemorative value is still there.
After everything was done, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't looked at my blacksmith level, so I also forged a weapon, so I should have increased a little. At first glance, it has risen by 0.5%, hehe, although it is not very good, but for me now, it is already very satisfying.
Back at Yaxuan, Xiao Jie happened to be bored playing with the flowers in the yard alone, I immediately told her what had just happened, and as soon as she heard it, she immediately rushed to see the weapon I had created, and I took Yanyue out of the package and handed it to her. Who knew that when she saw it, she immediately laughed and said, "Husband, where are you hitting Yanyue here, it's just a broken kitchen knife, it's so funny, you actually hit such a thing, I have to take it to Ah Jing to see." ”
After speaking, Xiao Jie flew to find Xiao Jing with her wedding ring, leaving me alone in the courtyard with a wry smile, I didn't expect that I was also a famous blacksmith in the West Emperor City, and the first work was so evaluated by my wife, it was really embarrassing.
Ever since I forged my first glaive, I've been immersed in the joy of forging weapons, and although I can't make good things all the time, most of the time it's not even as good as a store-bought weapon, but every time I look at a weapon engraved with the words "Walker Makes", I feel an inexplicable sense of pride in my heart, and sometimes I even feel that I can run this weapon shop even without the Phantom Blade, and of course, so far, the use of the weapons I've built has only been limited to putting them at home and looking at them for myself, there is no one that has been sold.
However, just when I almost forgot about the Shadow Blade, the others were still working tirelessly to find the Wyvern Sword, and finally, in an operation a month later, the players of Western Emperor City finally saw the Wyvern Sword for the first time, and when the steel took the Wyvern Sword that had burst out of the Pan Night Bull Demon King in my hand, I was struggling to endure the heat in the workshop for a handful of blood drinks.
As soon as the blood drink was successfully upgraded, my communicator suddenly rang, and when I opened it, it turned out to be sent by steel, saying that I wanted to go to Tianxiang Building and have important matters to discuss. I was stunned for a moment, what's important? It's been a long time since I had nothing to do to go to Tianxianglou, is there any contradiction happening? Probably not, after returning from the Western Continent, everyone got along much better than before, and I didn't hear anything happening.
As soon as the teleportation ring moved, I immediately flew to the door of Tianxiang Building, it was still the shopkeeper, and after a few words of greeting with him, I went up to the box on the second floor. As soon as I entered the door, I found that it must be something related to the Flying Dragon Sword, because the room was already full of people, even Nangong Hongyan and the demon were there.
"Let me tell you a good news, after more than a month of hard work, we finally have a little achievement, just a moment ago, when we were killing the Bull Demon King, the first Flying Dragon Sword has burst out." Steel stood up and said loudly with a laugh as he pulled out a long sword from the package amid the astonished gazes of everyone.
This is a broad sword, the whole body is dark, the thick sword body seems to have a layer of luster flowing, when I saw it for the first time, I couldn't help but be deeply attracted by it, as a blacksmith, to see such a good weapon, is simply the greatest joy in life.
Hearing steel say this, the whole room exploded in an instant, although everyone knew that the Flying Dragon Sword would come out sooner or later, but no one expected that in such a short period of time, the first Flying Dragon Sword appeared in front of us. After a while, when the chatter in the box was a little quieter, Steel spoke again.
"According to what was said at the time, after the first Flying Dragon Sword came out, several other Flying Dragon Swords would also appear in a short period of time, so I hope that everyone will put aside other things in the near future, concentrate on dealing with the Sect Master, and then gather the seven Flying Dragon Swords as soon as possible, and then as long as we find the magic crystal, we can forge the Shadow Phantom Blade, and at that time, the Noma Sect Master will naturally be defeated, and the East and West Continents will be able to survive this catastrophe, and all of us here will be able to get rich task rewards, I am confident that the prize for such a vast and arduous task will not disappoint any of us present. ”
"However, we still have a big problem, even if we have all the materials, where will we find a great grandmaster-level blacksmith to forge it? You must know that in the entire game, the number of blacksmiths is not much, and those who can reach the level of a great grandmaster are afraid that it will be difficult to appear in a short period of time. As soon as the words of steel fell, Song Qi raised a new problem.
