Chapter Twenty-Nine: Hammer, You Come Out

"West End, corner of the city walls...... It is? ”

Long Li confirmed again and again, and finally looked at the water leak in disbelief.

"Is this a blacksmith?"

"How does it feel like a public toilet!"

Lao Jin had already scanned the inside of the house, "This is it." ”

Looking at the crowd crowded at the door, Long Li was puzzled, how to squeeze in.

"Master, my young master bought a long knife and quoted 5,000 crystal coins."

"My grandfather wants a hammer and is willing to give out 8,000 crystal coins!"

"My wife wants a kitchen knife, quote 10,000 crystals!"

……

This group of people made quotations at the top of their voices, and comparisons abounded.

A group of people, you squeeze me, I squeeze you, and you just have to squeeze the door in front of you.

Everyone called for half an hour but no one came to open the door, but Long Li couldn't wait outside.

"Quietly, everyone listens to me!"

A group of people outside the door turned their heads to look at Long Li, "Boy, what do you want?" ”

Long Li showed a professional smile, "My master doesn't like others to be noisy, please be quiet, if you annoy my master, you may not be able to buy a single hair." ”

"Your master? I haven't seen you, are you lying to me? ”

Long Li shook his head and sighed, "I've never seen such a handsome refining genius as me, it's the biggest loss in your life!"

Besides, is it good to lie to you?

If you want my master's things, just listen to my arrangement, otherwise I will let you wait and never enter this door! ”

Long Li said it categorically, bluffing everyone for a moment, and many people believed it.

Wow, everyone immediately changed to smiling faces.

"I don't know, what is this master's name?"

"Today's surname is Long, if you want to customize something, you will line up, and I will go in and get a pen to register for you."

"Okay, let's line up, you first!"

The crowd immediately flashed out of a passageway, and then scrambled to form a long line.

Long Li stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Master, open the door!" ”

Five minutes later, no one responded.

Ten minutes later, there was still no sound.

After a cup of tea, everyone began to be suspicious.

"Whether you are a master's apprentice or not, you shouldn't pretend to be."

"I just looked at him like a fake."

"He's lying to me, we're going to have to give him some color."

Long Li turned around and glanced at the man coldly, "If you don't want to refine the weapon, try it, my master is famous for protecting his shortcomings." ”

Everyone shuddered for a while.

"The old man is in the yard."

Long Li's face was angry, it's good that you have a hammer to see the jokes of the master.

"Old Man Hammer, you can't open the door!"

Everyone was shocked, there was no one else who was called like this except master and apprentice?

For a while, everyone flashed wildly, far away from Long Li, for fear of harming the pond fish.

Squeak –

The door was opened by a thin old man, but the old man's face was red as if it was about to explode.

"Beast, give me death!"

Long Li grabbed the collar and lifted it in without resistance, and the people behind him wanted to take the opportunity to get closer, but they touched a gray nose.

Seeing that the master was angry, everyone gave a thumbs up, "What a man of God!" ”

Long Li was grabbed by the collar by the old man, and he wanted to struggle to get out but was flicked by the old man's finger and couldn't move.

"Dead old man, what did you do to Ben Shao?"

The old man patted Long Li on the shoulder and poked him directly into the dirt.

"Didn't you scold me for scolding me very well, if you don't give me a satisfactory reason today, you just wait here to sprout."

Long Li muttered, "I'm a human being, how can it sprout, I don't have any common sense, it's not ......"

Long Li suddenly felt as if he was being targeted by a fierce beast, and cold sweat flowed down.

"What did you just want to say?"

Long Li swallowed his saliva and smiled reluctantly: "Isn't it a miracle talent?" ”

The old man's face was slightly better, "You are sensible." ”

As soon as Long Li breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the old man continue to attack, "What is the reason? Would you like to give you a moment to think about it? ”

Looking at the unscrupulous smile of the old man Tie, Long Li felt a chill, and he was in a hurry, "It was Zhang Tie who asked me to come to you,"

"Which Zhang Tie?"

"President of the Nankui Refining Guild!"

"That shit?"

Long Li nodded in agreement, "It's a waste, and even a piece of iron can't be smelted." ”

As a result, the old man Tie recognized Long Li a little more, "However, how do you know about this matter?" ”

Long Li pursed his lips, "His iron-smelting method was still given to him by me, and what was the result?"

Only a bunch of waste is refined, do you say it is not angry? ”

At this time, the old man looked at Long Li with even more surprise, "You passed on that iron-smelting method to him?" ”

Long Li said as a matter of course: "That must be, without the ingenuity and talent of Young Master Ben, how could there be such an unprecedented method of iron-smelting." ”

The corners of the old man's eyes twitched, this kid's face was really thick.

Syllable!

The old man patted Long Li on the shoulder, "Get up." ”

Long Li was stunned for a moment, and when he moved, he realized that he could actually move.

"Actually? It's amazing! ”

"Follow me!" The old man turned around and left.

Long Li hurriedly pulled himself out and followed the old man to the hall.

The old man motioned for Long Li to sit down, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Long Li took out Zhang Tie's letter of recommendation to him and handed it to Old Man Tie, "Old Man Zhang said that he could come here to ask you for help if he had something, so I came." ”

The old man Tie's smile stiffened, this kid is so realistic.

"Tell me, maybe I can help you."

Long Li rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, "I want to come here to study in middle school, but no one will let me in." ”

The old man understood, "It's simple, but I need favors in exchange, so what can you give?" ”

Long Li's eyes widened, shouldn't you just say yes to old man Zhang's face, why are you still taking advantage of me.

After thinking about it carefully, Long Li put forward his own conditions.

"I'll swap you for the blueprints of the new crossbow."

Old man Zhang raised his eyebrows, very surprised, "A new type of bow and crossbow?" Let me tell you in advance, I don't collect garbage! ”

Long Li wiped his hair and said confidently: "This pair of bows and crossbows is just made by Ben Shao in his spare time, and I only improvise." As for the performance, try it yourself. ”

The old man said twice, making you say that you were still gasping.

Long Li took out his bow and crossbow from the chest behind his back and threw it to the old man iron.

"Well, see for yourself."

Syllable!

The old man took the bow and crossbow with one hand, looking at his appearance full of puzzlement, how to play this thing? He looked up at Long Li and found that the latter looked like he was eating melons and watching a play, and he was furious.

Long Li smiled as he watched the old man fiddling with his crossbow.

After half a cup of tea, the old man finally found the right way to open it.

After a cup of tea, the old man dismantled it into parts.

After three breaths, the pulley crossbow returned to its original state.

Long Li's smile froze on his face, this old man has such a strong mechanical talent, and this assembly speed is comparable to that of a veteran for many years.

Bang Bang Bang –

"Iron old man, you're a genius!"

The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "You still need to say it!" ”

"The horse's ass slapped on the horse's hooves."

"Lao Jin, what do you know, people enjoy it very much."

“……”

The old man came to the test site with a crossbow.

The test site is a huge rectangular building, with several targets hanging on the wall at one end and various test equipment on both sides.

The old man borrowed an arrow from Long Li, and raised his hand to make an arrow.

Phew-

The arrow hits the bull's-eye.

Long Li looked at the arrow branch that only punched the target, and was inexplicably frightened, you must know that his crossbow can shoot through a big tree within 10 meters, but he didn't expect that it would only be pierced into it so much today.

"This crossbow itself is only at the level of the 2nd order, but the power is at the level of the 4th order, a good weapon!"

Hearing the praise of the old man Tie, Long Li smiled from ear to ear, after so long, he finally found a master who knew the goods.

"But this workmanship is rubbish!"

"Huh!"

Long Li's forehead was bruised, "Old man Tie, you should tell me what is wrong with this workmanship." ”

The old man pointed to the steel plate and said, "The thickness of the steel on the crossbow body is uneven, the wood used for the bow is too hard to add excess weight, the python tendon used for the bowstring is not properly handled, and there are ......"

The old man said more than a dozen questions in one breath, and he turned his head to look at Long Li, "Do you want me to continue?" ”

Long Li shook his head in embarrassment, and if he continued to talk, he could only find a crack in the ground to get in.

The old man didn't forget to praise him, "Although the workmanship is terrible, this design is ingenious enough." Don't be presumptuous, I am the only one who can do this at such an age for thousands of years. ”

“……”

This boast, Long Li blushed for the old man Tie.

"You can rest assured about the school, this matter is on me. Boy, do you want to learn refining from the old man, it's too wasteful if you don't use this talent. ”

Long Li smiled awkwardly: "My talent is naturally first-class, but will the refining weapon delay my cultivation?" ”

The old man was almost angry to death, how many people begged him to be his apprentice, but they didn't expect this kid to be so illiterate.

The old man snorted coldly, "If you don't learn, you can't do it!" Refining weapons and cultivation complement each other, and without advanced cultivation, you can't practice high-level weapons. ”

Long Li understood now, but the attitude of this iron old man was not at all like that of a sincere apprentice, "It's not impossible to be your apprentice, but what benefits can you give me?" ”

The old man stumbled under his feet and almost said goodbye to the world.

"I'm a sixth-order refiner, and I can find a better refiner in the entire Yunlan City than me, and I have your surname! The weapons that have been refined by this genius are all high-quality, and the craftsmanship of a single round is really one of the few in the southwest that can compete with me. ”

"What about the benefits?" Long Li reminded again.

The old man almost bit his tongue off, "It's not good to co-author to teach you techniques?" ”

"I also have new technology, do you want it?"

The old man refused to admit defeat, "Free food and lodging, let you go to a noble school, is this okay?" ”

Long Li shook his head, "I have a small amount of food, so I can't spend much on eating, and besides, I have money!" Also, the opportunity to go to school was bought by me in exchange for drawings, and we don't owe each other. ”

"So, your conditions are insincere!"

The old man's face was dark, and the whirlwind was rising all around him, and he looked like he was ready to make a move.

Long Li was a little weak-hearted, "It's just a teacher, don't make it like you can't afford to play." ”

The old man just wanted to vomit three liters of blood, and if he found such an apprentice, he would probably be angry to the point of ten years of life.

"Do you love to worship or not?"

Looking at the tough old man, Long Li said: "Alas~ It's a pity that I have so many good ideas and new technologies. ”

When the old man heard that Long Li still had goods in his stomach, his heart was as unbearable as a cat's claw, as a technical nerd, what could be more attractive than new technology.

The old man's eyes were purring, and he kept thinking about the gains and losses in his heart, and finally he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"As long as you let me participate in the research of new technologies, I will pay for all the consumption, and you are allowed to open a shop outside, and seventy percent of the harvest will belong to you."

Long Li thought about it, this benefit is not bad, after all, no matter how small the mosquito leg is, it is also meat.

"No problem, I want a separate refining room."

"Well, it's all for you."

"Another ......"

After some bargaining, Long Li finally worshipped the old man Tie as his teacher, and he successfully solved a lot of troubles.

As for the old man of iron, he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

With a genius disciple like Long Li, not to mention that his ability can be passed on. If this kid is willing to work hard, he will be famous all over the world at that time.

"Apprentice Long Li, meet Master!"

"Good boy, get up!"

"Yes, Master."

"Master, what about your greeting gift? No, there are none. ”

“……”

Zhang Tie wanted to cry without tears.
