After eating, everyone sat in a circle and listened to Luo Qianqian talk about the interesting things in her ink training.
Mo Lin listened attentively to Luo Qianqian's story, although he couldn't be an ink artist himself, but seeing Luo Qianqian slowly getting stronger, he felt like seeing himself getting stronger, and he had a unique sense of satisfaction.
chatted until late before Mo Lin was about to say goodbye and go home, but Luo Qianqian had to go with him to test shoot a few more miniature machine crossbows.
Uncle Luo was afraid that Luo Qianqian would shoot a few more holes in the house, so he hurriedly asked them to go for an interview. The two teenagers walked out of the courtyard and saw a piece of moonlight shining in front of the door, as if paving a silver glittering road.
There were three sounds, three sounds, and three crossbow arrows were fired into the trunk of the tree.
"The head is very good, and the strength is also very good, Mo Lin, you are really a genius." Luo Qianqian said happily.
Genius...... Hey. Mo Lin raised his head proudly.
This move was seen by Luo Qianqian, and she couldn't help but bend over with a smile: "Mo Lin, you look like a stinky fart." ”
"Hmph, I'm a genius, you have to slap my ass. It's too late to shoot when I'm famous. "When she was with Luo Qianqian, Mo Lin was always very relaxed, and her heart was full of joy.
"Mo Lin, you have to remember what you promised me." Luo Qianqian scoffed at Mo Lin's bragging, but she still cherished the miniature mechanical crossbow folded up, restored it to the appearance of a very ordinary small square box, and stuffed it into the cloth bag she carried with her.
"What did I promise you?" Mo Lin was a little distracted, and he didn't think about it for a while.
Luo Qianqian pouted dissatisfiedly: "We have hooked, you have to create the most powerful magic weapon for me!" ”
The most powerful magic weapon? Mo Lin smiled awkwardly, and said with a very confident look: "Don't worry, I will." But don't forget to work harder. ”
Luo Qianqian went home with a miniature machine crossbow, Mo Lin returned to the dormitory of the apprentices in the moonlight, everyone else had already slept, he tiptoed back to bed, lay down but couldn't sleep.
"Qianqian, you have to redouble your efforts and be a good ink maker. I will also redouble my efforts, and I will definitely find a way to be the best craftsman and create the most powerful magic weapon for you. Mo Lin thought about how to build a machine to replace human forging in the middle of the night, and fell asleep unconsciously.

For the next six months, Mo Lin ran rain or shine every morning, and after dinner, he exercised the strength of his upper limbs. He built two dumbbells that could add or subtract weight, and he did at least 200 flat lifts a day. And push-ups and sit-ups, which are relatively simple exercise methods, are also a must-do for him every day.
These exercises may not be anything to ordinary people, but for Mo Lin, who often has to endure the pain of his body's joints and his physical endurance is far inferior to ordinary people, it is already a very difficult test. Fortunately, after persevering for half a year, Mo Lin's body is indeed stronger, but the progress in forging is still not great.
In addition to physical exercise, Mo Lin has also been researching and designing a machine that can replace manpower for forging, but this project is still a little difficult for him, and he can only ponder it little by little, and the progress is very slow.
"Mo Lin, you've been making a lot of progress lately." On this day, seeing the iron plate made by Mo Lin, Mo Zhou finally praised it.
Mo Lin was a little dissatisfied with his progress, some of the classmates who came to the apprenticeship at the same time as him had already graduated from forging and began to manufacture precision machinery, but he still stopped at forging. Although his strength and endurance have improved, they are still far from the rest of his classmates who have honed strong muscles.
I'm lagging behind others, so I'm going to work harder to catch up. This was the only thought in Mo Lin's heart for half a year, but he was indeed too weak by nature. Although he can occasionally reach the level of ordinary people, Mo Lin's strength is consumed quickly, and his recovery is much slower than that of ordinary people. In this way, he will not be able to maintain the rhythm of striking while the iron is hot, and without a constant and stable force, he will naturally not be able to create a finished product with uniform force.
"Come on." Mo Zhou knew that Mo Lin had worked hard, so naturally he wouldn't ask for anything more. In fact, unconsciously, he had been moved by Mo Lin's spirit, but Mo Lin's physical talent was like this, and he had no better way than to encourage.
Mo Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead, moved his muscles and bones that were sore from excessive force, took out another part, and continued to beat.
Mo Zhou looked at it for a while, and suddenly said: "The final test is at the beginning of next month, have you thought about what to do?" ”
Mo Lin smiled: "I've already thought about it, I've started to collect materials to build it in the past few days, and I'll ask the teacher to help me take a look." ”
"Okay, feel free to come to me if you have any questions." Mo Zhou patted Mo Lin's shoulder encouragingly, and there was a rare tenderness in his eyes.

The northern part of the village is close to the Mo River. The water of the Mo River is rushing and flowing, bringing a large amount of loess sediment from the upper Liangzhou Plateau, and the whole river seems a little muddy, but there are many rare minerals hidden in the riverbed, which can be regarded as a treasure hunting paradise for craftsmen.
Like the Mohe River, the Sunset Mountains, which hug the village of Moshi, are also a treasure trove of materials for artisans.
The Sunset Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, stretching south from Liangzhou in the northwest of the Kyushu continent to the boundary of Jizhou, where Mozhi Village is located, to the east. The village of Moshi is located in the Sunset Mountains, which turns from north to south to east and west. The reason why Mo Zhai, the hero of the Mo family, built the village in this place was because he took a fancy to the rich mineral resources contained in the Sunset Mountains.
The Mohists were famous for their machinery and magic weapons, and the demand for minerals was huge, and Mohists and craftsmen often went into the Sunset Mountains in search of minerals.
In order to make the final test works, Mo Lin brought three days' worth of dry food, put a pickaxe on his back, and set foot on the road into the mountains.
Mo Zhou was worried about Mo Lin's body and didn't want him to set off alone. But under Mo Lin's strong plea, Mo Zhou could only agree. Before leaving, Mo Zhou specially drew a map for Mo Lin to several important mining sites, and he was afraid of the ferocity of the beasts in the mountains, so he also gave him a human-level magic weapon dagger for self-defense.
There is already a path in the Sunset Mountains that has been trodden by ink artists and craftsmen, but the mountain road is still very steep and the road is precipitous. Mo Lin used a crane's beak hoe as a crutch, and used both hands and feet when he encountered a steep place, although his physical strength was not as good as others, but he was better than persevering, and walked along the road for a long time, and finally came to a copper mine that the predecessors of the ink master opened up decades ago.
