Chapter 35: The Frustrated Bronze Sword
Alchemy is a more magical skill, although it is called "alchemy", but it is not only about refining metal, and the skill introduction finally used such a sentence to evaluate, alchemy is changing, and everything is in the furnace.
When starting alchemy, you need to determine the final shape of the smelting, Tang Yunfeng estimated the production rate of bronze ore spars, according to the calculation of more than a dozen spars only a bronze ruler weighing four catties, and the finished product is less than one-fifth.
The weight of a spar is about two catties, and the backpack that Tang Yunfeng brought back this time has about forty pieces, and if they are all smelted, they can produce more than ten catties of bronze. Tang Yunfeng is going to get a bronze pickaxe out first, so that the mining will be faster, and the bronze pickaxe of more than ten catties is obviously a little heavy and a little extravagant.
He divided the bronze ore into two parts, one smelted into a bronze pickaxe and the other into a bronze hammer. The consummation of alchemy is much faster than at the beginning, it can be refined into a furnace in about half an hour, and alchemy cannot be left like the building technique. Once activated, you can move freely as long as you keep an eye on the fire.
Tang Yunfeng carefully used the construction technique to outline a drawing of the forging furnace, and directly built it with the grandmaster-level construction technique, which is the benefit of the grandmaster-level skill. Otherwise, after he finishes drawing the drawings, he has to go to the money shopkeeper to buy materials to build them, and the drawings can be recognized. The power of the Grandmaster-level skill lies in the elimination of this verification link. Of course, with the urine of the system, you have to lose something if you gain something, and the cost of saving trouble is money. If the cost of buying materials to build is 1 gold coin, then the price of building a Grandmaster skill directly is 3 gold coins.
A forging furnace cost Tang Yunfeng 7 gold coins, which is more expensive than the drawings of a section of the city wall. Fortunately, the structure of the forging furnace is simple, and the probability of failure is extremely low. Sure enough, after the forge was built, the system's rewards appeared on time.
"You were the first to build a forge, gain +1 reputation, generate a new blueprint, and get a share of the reward."
After the forging furnace was completed, a bellows and a forging table were made, and the preparation for forging was completed. All that's left is to wait for the cutting boards, forging hammers, and then it's time to accumulate enough ore.
At this stage of alchemy, Tang Yunfeng could only refine one item at a time, and after more than an hour, the bronze pickaxe and forging hammer were successfully refined one after another. The failure rate of alchemy is not low, and the success rate of successful alchemy is only 80%. It can only be said that Tang Yunfeng's luck in the game "Vast Continent" is really good, and the two items are actually successful at one time.
Of the two items, only the Bronze Pickaxe received reputation and share bonuses, which were not destined to be bought by many people like combat skills and weapons, and did not bring much benefit. Tang Yunfeng didn't care, what he wanted to do most now was mining, alchemy, and then building all kinds of metal weapons.
Carrying a bronze pickaxe inlaid with a wooden handle, he once again embarked on the journey of mining. He has been online for eight hours in a row, and he hasn't even eaten except for going to the toilet and drinking saliva from the offline line. He was going to take advantage of the daylight on the mainland to make two more trips to the mine and build the bronze weapon before it went offline today.
After coming to the ore vein, he first killed a troublesome stone armor monkey, and Tang Yunfeng brandished this bronze pickaxe and began to mine hard. With the tools at hand, the mining speed was faster this time, but two more stone monkeys came over during the period, and it took a lot of effort.
Thanks to his efforts, before the darkness of the vast continent came, he successfully brought back three packages of bronze ore hedron and two obsidian. At this time, Tang Yunfeng's stomach began to eat breakfast, and his physical state could not be improved with barbecue and Anshen Pill. There was no way, Tang Yunfeng could only quit the game first.
At this time, it was already six o'clock in the evening, and several people in the dormitory had already finished their classes, and it was estimated that they would have to meet in the cafeteria. picked up the phone and looked at it, and sure enough, he received a message from Lu Yang: Li Xuhui was entertaining in the small restaurant on the third floor to celebrate his sacrifice for getting the key skill of the assassin department.
Tang Yunfeng put on his clothes and walked towards the restaurant, more than a month after the start of school, his body recovered a little, although he was still holding the green bamboo cane that was marked, but his movements were a little blower than before. On the way to the restaurant, I received a call from Li Xuhui again, and he actually asked for a private room alone.
The small canteen on the third floor is different from the large canteen on the first and second floors, where you can not only order stir-fried dishes, but also have more than a dozen private rooms, which is the first choice for student dormitory parties and birthday dinners. Li Xuhui, who has always been thrifty, is willing to bleed to treat here, which shows how happy he is with getting the Sacrifice Strike skill, and it is estimated that he is most happy that he does not need to practice proficiency.
The old rule, six people order a dish each, before Tang Yunfeng arrived, Han Fengxiang had already ordered his favorite shredded potatoes for him. This rule was set when the dormitory had its first meal, and no matter when they ate, it was one dish per person, and they had to eat it all, and they couldn't waste it, and the CD-ROM operation has always been their purpose. Once at dinner, Han Fengxiang wiped all six plates with steamed buns, and there was no vegetable soup left, and the waiter who cleaned up the things was stunned.
A group of people were in a hurry to go back to play the game, but they simply celebrated with a bottle of beer per person, after all, it was not a weekend, and they couldn't be too presumptuous. And this small restaurant is also a place where teachers often come to eat.
It is rumored that there was once a senior brother who drank too much here, and regarded a young female teacher who was eating here as his favorite goddess, and ran to the female teacher to kneel and confess, making the young female teacher ashamed and angry. The most legendary thing is that it is said that the senior brother really married the female teacher after graduation, and achieved a love story.
The seats in the small restaurant are basically couples, not to mention the high cost of falling in love. It's not just about watching movies and buying gifts, but the standard of eating on weekdays is much higher than on weekdays. Many male students often exchange instant noodles for a few days in the dormitory for a meal with their girlfriends.
When the six of them walked out after eating, Lu Yang deliberately went to the booth for a walk, just to see if there were any familiar couples and classmates. There's no malice, it's purely personal.
After a while, Lu Yang trotted up and said mysteriously:
"Hey, guess who I saw?"
"Who?" Li Xuhui is also a gossip party, so he immediately got up.
"Your son Ge Shuai."
"Cut, what's so strange about this, people are frequent visitors here."
Han Fengxiang, who was most disgusted with the cream boy, was very unpleasant to the eyes of Ge Shuai, a noble son.
"Do you know who you're with?"
"Who?"
"The marketing class flower is the big-eyed girl from Yunnan."
"I grass, doesn't he have a girlfriend? I remember that during the National Day, I also came to our school! ”
Li Xuhui called out in surprise.
"So what? What's the matter with us!? What people are willing to do, don't mix it up. ”
The eldest brother Ren Xia pressed the heads of Li Xuhui and Lu Yang, and slipped back to the dormitory. A few people think about it, and they can't get used to it, but this kind of thing between two people is really not something they should be mixed with. Ran to the girl and told the "noble son" that he had a girlfriend? Maybe people already know about it, and they have to scold you for being nosy.
After returning to the dormitory, Tang Yunfeng immediately went online and started his alchemy business. First came out of a thick irregular round cutting board, about ten centimeters thick and about twenty centimeters in diameter, this cutting board cost him two backpacks of bronze ore spar, and this furnace took more than forty minutes to refine. Alchemy, like building, is not set in stone in that the amount of raw materials determines the time to cast a skill.
The remaining backpack of bronze ore crystals, Tang Yunfeng was ready to refine into four long bronze blocks, just like the bronze bar ruler at the beginning. There is no way, alchemy is not omnipotent, and at this stage it can only be refined in such simple shapes.
The refining of the first long bronze block failed, Tang Yunfeng shook his head, it is impossible for luck to follow him all the time. When you occasionally fail, you can remind yourself to prepare for everything, and keep in mind the ancient adage of "if you prepare, you will stand, and if you don't prepare, you will waste".
After the second bronze sword embryo was successful, he couldn't wait to put it into the forge, and when the bronze strip burned red, he realized that he was not ready to pick up the bronze strip of pliers.
No matter what, first use the bronze pickaxe and the bronze ruler to clip out the red sword embryo and put it on the cutting board, and after pressing it with the bronze ruler, Tang Yunfeng waved the forging hammer and beat it clangingly. While forging the bronze sword, I recalled the movements and rhythm of the elder brother when forging the sword, and the forging hammer in my hand became more and more rhythmic between the ups and downs, and the clanging percussion sound composed a loud music.
During the study of art, all kinds of weapons and farm tools used by their senior brothers were forged by the senior brothers themselves, and they were all tailor-made, so that they were particularly comfortable to use.
After repeated fire, a bronze long sword appeared on the forging table, because there were no pincers, the shape was somewhat biased, but the general shape had already come out. The hilt of the sword adopts a flat circular threaded mechanism, and the sword shaft adopts a horizontal and straight shape, and the sword body is narrow and wide at the bottom, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, which is caused by the use of stacked forging to make the sword and hilt.
Anyway, this is also a bronze sword, although it doesn't look good, but the system should still recognize it. Sure enough, after the long sword was quenched, when Tang Yunfeng wielded the 60-centimeter-long bronze sword in his hand, the reward of the system was long overdue.
"You have mastered the Forge Technique, gain +10 Fame, get a share of the reward, and +100% Skill Mastery"
After waiting for a long time, the system stopped moving, and the expected bronze sword reward did not arrive. Tang Yunfeng, who originally wanted to make a fortune with bronze swords, metal weapons and equipment, did not wait for the systematic reward.
I'm grass, could it be that this sword is too ugly, so the system doesn't give a reward. Tang Yunfeng wanted to go to the money shopkeeper to ask and see what the situation was, but unfortunately his game time today had come, so he had no choice but to go offline.
