"It's a pity that the treasures in the soul record can't be modified." Bai Ze sighed.

If he could modify the treasures in the Soul Record, then he wouldn't have to give up those old equipment, as he could simply upgrade them to match the continuous improvement of his overall strength.

"Some can be modified, but it's very difficult." Linglong pointed out with a wry smile. "Every treasure is made up of soul power, and it is extremely difficult to modify them. However, there are exceptions, and in fact, what you are holding in your hand is a treasure that can be modified. ”

Bai Ze was silent for a moment, and a thought came to his mind. There was a strange glint in his eyes, and he said, "Copper Bell ......"

"That's right. The Broken Copper Bell is a modifiable artifact that can evolve. Linglong nodded, but then poured another bucket of cold water, "But it also depends on the clues of the treasure itself, you have to spend a lot of time to investigate, and when you find these clues, you no longer need the protection of the bell." ”

Bai Ze naturally understood what she meant.

If by the time he knew the upgrade method of the Broken Copper Bell, his strength had already exceeded a certain threshold, then what was the use of the treasure?

At the end of the day, there are many things that can only be entrusted to fate...... Because in the big picture, the power you have is too insignificant.

...

Depending on the material, many types of armor can be made. Fortunately, Bai Ze has a certain number and variety, and he doesn't have to stick to a specific type.

Plate armor, scale armor, shell armor, shrimp armor, leather armor, etc. Each has different advantages and disadvantages depending on the material of their construction.

"Then make leather armor." Bai Ze had already made up his mind.

"Considering that you use a two-handed greatsword, plate armor is not for you." Linglong calmly expressed her thoughts, "If you add a piece of plate armor in addition to the weight of a heavy two-handed weapon, your movement speed will drop significantly, and your overall combat ability will also drop a lot. ”

"That's why I built leather armor." He nodded.

Leather armor dates back to the medieval era, as it was one of the first choice and most used armor for those seeking a light defense that did not affect movement, and most importantly, was inexpensive to manufacture.

Highly resistant to any type of attack, whether cut, impact, or puncture. Its main weakness is that it wears out very quickly after a certain number of attacks. However, Bai Ze is not worried, and occasional maintenance can solve the problem.

In addition, he does not make ordinary leather armor.

First, Bai Ze made a dagger from the teeth of a first-order shadow leopard.

He sharpens the bottom, hammers it into shape several times, heats the teeth, hammers it again, then adds a thin metallic coating to the bottom, heats the teeth again, and hammers it again.

Although it sounds like a lot of work, with the experience of already making a greatsword, it only took twenty minutes in total to make a weapon as small as a dagger.

【Steel Tooth Dagger】

【One-handed weapon】

[Level: 1]

[Attack: 350]

[Durability: 500/500]

[Description: A sharp, rapidly manufactured dagger that can be mass-produced]

Naturally, it was not as good as the Blazing Scale Giant Sword, and considering that Bai Ze didn't bother to forge it, it was a matter of course. Even if it is a weapon of the same level, it is too different.

After successfully forging the second first-order item, Bai Ze's forging skill was increased from level 3 to level 4, and while his forging knowledge increased, the chance of forging a better item also increased slightly.

Armed with a sharp knife, Shirasawa began to work on the leather.

While Linglong helped him measure and convey it to him, Bai Ze carefully cut into the black fur of a first-order shadow leopard with a steel-toothed dagger.

Although he was not a tailor, the making of leather armor was part of the forging itself. As long as you are careful when cutting animal skins, there will be no major problems; It was precisely because of this that he forged a sharp dagger.

"It's a pity, the fur of the super strong primeval second-order giant bear has been completely destroyed, if it is preserved, I can make several times the armor." Bai Ze sighed as he slowly carved the last few openings in the animal's black fur.

Bai Ze was worried about his life and safety during the battle with the primeval second-order giant bear, so he naturally didn't have time to care about the monster's fur. This resulted in the complete destruction of the creature's fur; It got worse after being bombed by the M3.

"You're probably the only first-order being, or one of the few who dares to use a higher order as a forging material." When Linglong heard this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Bai Ze sighed and continued to work. It took more than 30 minutes for him to finally finish this part of the work.

In front of him were two large pieces of leather; One piece is shaped like trousers, the other is shaped like a cuirass.

The next thing he had to do was prepare two large pots of boiling water. , carefully submerging the two pieces of skin.

But that's not all.

In addition to dipping the skin pieces in boiling water, Bai Ze and Linglong also casually threw a few black scales of the light-scaled black rhinoceros that had been defeated in the forest.

The leather slowly began to absorb the hot water, and as a result, the hot and melted black scales began to adhere to the dark leather. But because Bai Ze didn't want the scales to attach to it at will, he had to move the scales and put them on the point he wanted to protect the most, mainly exposing the connections between his limbs so as not to be hindered when moving.

After making sure that the scales were firm, Bai Ze took advantage of the hot water to soften the leather, and then began to make holes according to his shape.

The whole process is extremely arduous and very tiring. One mistake can lead to the destruction of the leather and all the work in vain.

After three hours of continuous work and a high degree of concentration, Bai Ze took out the two pieces of leather armor that had turned black from the water and approached the fire.

The crimson flames within the furnace crackled around the Soul Stone, unleashing a massive wave of heat throughout the room. The moisture in the leather evaporated at an alarming rate, and the leather that once looked weak, ugly, and pliable began to harden, and the scales on the entire leather began to release an amazing sheen, making the outer light of the armor gradually beautiful.

The drying process did not require human intervention, Bai Ze made full use of the time and began to prepare the materials, making Shangguan Bingxue's sword, Chen He's bow, Cai Jingyi's dagger, and Fu Xuefeng's gloves......

Bai Ze realized the amount of work he had and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I'm really going to stay here for a few days......"

"When you leave this workshop, you will see the fruits of your efforts. Trust me, you will be amazed when you see that your work brings about a difference not only for yourself but for all those who follow you. Linglong smiled sweetly.

Her smile was as sweet as honey and as warm as the spring breeze after the storm. Bai Ze felt that the burden on his shoulders had been lightened, and when he saw her smiling, his mood improved greatly.

He got to work, separating the materials that were going to be used next.

Bones from the Frost Lion of the Rank 1, teeth from the Shadow Leopard of the Rank 1, fangs from the Tier 1 Viper, some of the hardest bones from the Tier 1 Armored Elephant, and so on.

Bai Ze knew that he had a lot of work. But he is not worried, because he is not alone and has someone to keep him company. But even if he was alone, it wasn't anything to him. After all, he has been away from home for so long, and he has become accustomed to loneliness.

Of course, getting used to solitude and liking solitude are two completely different things. It's good to be alone for a while, it's not good for anyone to be alone for too long; Therefore, he is really grateful to have someone by his side.
