Chapter 10: Impostor
Zhang Chao naturally didn't understand Lao Pang's thoughts.
But for Lao Pang to take the initiative to show favor to himself, I feel secretly refreshed.
Add one crystal coin to each piece.
This...... This......
Is there any reason for you to refuse?
Can you still refuse?
I don't have to think about this or that for the time being.
"Can all the remuneration be settled one by one?" Zhang Chao asked, rubbing his hands.
"Settle one by one?" Lao Pang was stunned for a moment, and then rubbed the embarrassed beard on his chin: "There is no such rule, but if you really want to ask for this, I will be troublesome at most, so how about settling every ten pieces?"
"Ten pieces, ten pieces will do!" Zhang Chao licked his lips and laughed sinisterly in his heart.
In this way, he will have room to advance and retreat.
If there is really any problem, or he chooses to slip away in advance, he will not be empty-handed!
"I'm so witty!" he sighed in his heart, then spat in the palms of his hands, took off his shirt, tied his sleeves around his waist, picked up the various tools next to him, and made a gesture of doing a big job.
Time is of the essence, so every second counts!
Being able to make as much money as possible before he chooses to escape is the only thing he has to do at this time!
Put the material into a large iron pot, control the furnace fire, melt the material, and continue to repeat this process more than ten times, as far as possible to separate the impurities in the material, and then the refined metal solution, poured on the mold, wait until it cools slightly, clamp it out with pliers, put it on the anvil, pick up the hammer, and start smashing.
The whole action is very smooth, without the slightest bit of mud and water, all in one go!
Moreover, the strength he exerted was also just right, bringing the "Hundred Flowers Hammer Method" taught to him by Lao Li to the extreme, the arm wrapped by Yuan Li, holding the hammer, was extremely fast, making people look dazzling!
"This ...... This little master is really powerful, and he is a person with real skills!" Lao Pang saw Zhang Chao's eyes shrink after striking the iron, and his heart was shocked to the extreme.
He had never seen such a method of striking iron.
Zhang Chao heard a continuous hammer sound here, and it was very rhythmic, so that the blacksmiths who were working hard around him put down their work at hand and set their eyes on Zhang Chao.
"What a great young man!"
"yes, the hammer is swinging a little too fast!"
"It's a cultivator! And if I'm not mistaken, it's a hammer method!"
"Why do I look a little familiar, it seems to be similar to Lao Li's technique when he struck iron!"
"Lao Li, is the one who offended the Iron Cooperative Society before? Later, the master of the Iron Cooperative Society abolished the meridians and became a wasted person......
"I heard that even his apprentices betrayed him, but how could his hammer technique appear on a young man?"
"yes, this kid looks too young, at most sixteen, right?"
"In this Cannes City, I am afraid that the only people who can have such strength are the people of the Iron Cooperation!"
"Isn't it, that abominable Iron Compound!"
A group of blacksmiths were shocked and began to discuss.
But their words were filled with dissatisfaction and anger.
Zhang Chao concentrated at this time, putting all his energy on striking iron, and didn't notice the situation around him at all, as if the whole person was invested in it, and the yuan power in his body was surging, constantly swimming in the meridians, and there seemed to be faint signs of getting stronger and stronger.
This feeling is very comfortable, even more wonderful, and the sweat that flows out seems to take away the impurities in his body, not only does not make him tired, but more and more energetic!
It only took half an hour for a steel knife, with a trace of moisture, to be placed on the weapon rack on the side.
"Good knife!" After Lao Pang carefully looked at the knife for a long time, he immediately raised his eyebrows and praised it.
The whole knife, the blade is streamlined, there is a faint texture staggered inside, the blade is extremely thin, extremely sharp, and it is broken when blowing!
I have to say that no matter how you look at this knife, it can be called the top grade in the human-level inferior magic weapon!
It only took half an hour to create a steel knife, and it had such a quality that all the blacksmiths present could not do.
Especially on the handle of the knife, Zhang Chao deliberately carved a prominent tiger head decoration, which makes the knife look more domineering.
"This is the weapon crafted by the masters of the Iron Cooperative!" Although the other blacksmiths were unhappy, they were extremely impressed by the steel knife made by Zhang Chao.
This kind of thing created by relying on Yuan Li is definitely not something they can do.
"Okay, it feels good, go on!" Zhang Chao shook his neck, ignoring the gazes of others, and built a second weapon again.
This thing is a skilled worker, and the more you fight, the easier it becomes.
In addition, the furnace temperature has reached the required level, which greatly reduces the time wasted on the initial work.
The second weapon was refined in half the time of the previous one.
"Shhh...... This speed ......" Lao Pang gasped, such a fast speed, it was the first time he had seen it.
"This ......" All the blacksmiths also looked at each other, although they all hated the Iron Syndicate and hated the people of the Iron Syndicate, but they had to admire Zhang Chao's iron-striking skills.
"Okay, okay, what are you all doing? don't you have to work? Look at what you see, how much ability you have to make it better, can you see it by looking at it?" Old Pang pointed to the blacksmiths who were looking at this place, and shouted loudly.
"Alas, Lao Pang, don't be so fierce, they just admire my ability, let them see what it is, they can't learn it anyway!" Zhang Chao was a little fluttering, looking at those blacksmiths, he was very proud, and waved his hand with an expression of indifference.
"Well, what the little master said is, but this is just a group of Diao people, who have worked hard all their lives, if it weren't for the kindness of our Qiao family, getting them to work and giving them a bite to eat, I'm afraid they would have starved to death on the streets!" Lao Pang admired Zhang Chao more at this time, and rubbed his hands with a smile.
Although Zhang Chao felt that these words sounded very hurtful, he didn't care, nodded his head, and continued to race against time to strike iron.
"Damn, what's there to be proud of?"
"Hmph, sure enough, the Iron Combination doesn't have a good thing!"
"It's all crumbs!"
The blacksmiths cursed in low breath and went on with indignation.
"What, aren't you visiting, it's boring......" Zhang Chao pursed his lips, but the movements in his hands were getting faster and faster.
Two hours later, ten of the finished weapons were displayed on the weapon rack.
And the quality of each piece is the same, the workmanship is so good and delicate that it does not look like it came from the hand of a boy who is only 16 years old, but rather like a work created by an experienced master who has been immersed in this art for many years.
After getting thirty crystal coins, Zhang Chao was excited.
Looking at the crystal coins that were only the size of a fingernail, thin and thick pieces of paper, but crystal clear, and shimmering with a faint aura luster, his breath became short.
"This is Lao Tzu's first pot of gold! His grandmother's has been squatting on the mountain with his master for sixteen years, and he has never seen so much money!" he roared in his heart.
But just when he was about to build the second batch of ten weapons, suddenly a family member ran over with a panicked look and whispered a few words in Lao Pang's ear.
Lao Pang's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he only regained his smile in an instant, and bowed slightly to Zhang Chao and said, "Little master, then you are busy first, I have some small things to deal with first, and I will come back later!"
With that, he and the other family left the place in a hurry.
Zhang Chao narrowed his eyes.
He had a bad feeling in his heart.
Could it be...... Your identity as an imposter has been exposed, right?
The owner of the Iron Compound is here?
But that's only 30 crystal coins, damn it, that guy came too fast!
What to do?
Do you continue to make money by striking iron, or do you grease the soles of your feet?
He just couldn't make a choice.
Looking at those shiny crystal coins, I am unwilling!
"Grandma's, wealth is in danger, even if the owner comes, what can he do?" he simply gritted his teeth, threw a bunch of materials into the iron pot and melted it, and continued to build the next weapon.
After a while, footsteps sounded, and Lao Pang walked towards this side with a middle-aged man with a gloomy face.
The middle-aged man looked to be in his forties, his face was covered with blue stubble, his eyes were restrained by a cold light, and the green tendons on his temples were emerging and jumping.
This man was a sturdy man, and he was not wearing the coarse linen clothes of ordinary people, but a cotton gown, and on the chest of the gown, there was a pattern of two hammers crossed.
The people of the Iron Synthesis!
"Little master, I need an explanation!" Lao Pang glanced at the man, and before the other party could speak, he took the lead in questioning Zhang Chao.
"Explanation? Hmph......" Zhang Chao licked his lips, in the time just now, he had already thought of a countermeasure, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "What explanation? Lao Pang, I don't know what you're talking about!"
Pretend to be stupid and stunned first, but you can't let this deal that can make you rich be lost, how the other party wants to play, then play with him first.
What about the Iron Cooperative?
If you block Lao Tzu's financial path, you will never tolerate it!
......
At the same time, in a mansion deep in Cannes, a cold snort was heard.
Immediately after, a middle-aged man with his hair on his back walked out of the mansion with a gloomy face, his body rippling with heavy Yuan Force fluctuations, and with every step, the ground under his feet would be frozen in an instant with a thin layer of ice, followed by a rapid melt.
"Interesting, there are still such masters in this Kan City? I can even get my magic weapon away, I want to see where it is sacred!" he clenched his fists and said to himself with a sneer...... However, my Zhao Hong's things are not so easy to take, no matter who you are, dare to touch my things in Cannes......"
"It's a dragon, you have to coil it for me, it's a tiger, you have to lie down for me!"
