Chapter 21: I'll Fight

A brand new hammer, a hammer that has never been used before

Xiang Mu saw that the description of this hammer was slightly different, he looked back at the hammer next to the forge furnace, it was a little worn, according to the blacksmith's black price, he would not be reluctant to use a new hammer, right? Unconsciously, Xiang Mu has brought the logic of his reality into the game, which is not to blame Xiang Mu, mainly because the game of the spirit world is too realistic, so Xiang Mu can't help but automatically bring it in.

Xiang Mu picked up the brand-new hammer with some curiosity.

"Don't move!" The blacksmith who was smiling at the door of the blacksmith shop and waiting to greet the guests suddenly scolded Xiang Mu, and Xiang Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"There's a play!" The NPC's reaction suddenly made Xiang Mu's heart happy, and he should have triggered some event.

"Why mess with other people's things?" The blacksmith asked Xiang Mu dissatisfied, Xiang Mu was stunned, and the NPC seemed to suddenly become smarter.

"The hammer is old, why not use a new one?" Xiang Mu thought about it for a while and gave a reply that was more in line with the situation.

"I don't deserve to use this hammer." The blacksmith suddenly said in a daze, squinting at Xiang Mu slightly, and sure enough, there were some articles in it, and he hurriedly asked.

"Why?"

"Ding-dong, trigger the quest, the blacksmith's inferiority." The prompt sounded, and Xiang Mu was suddenly overjoyed, he had gradually felt the charm of this game.

"My master, is a famous blacksmith in the main city of the spirit world, the equipment created by countless people are sought after, I am fortunate to get the master's care, become one of his disciples, three years of fire, five years of hammering, ten years of quenching, originally I thought that my skills have been perfected, but when I went to build a piece of equipment by myself, I found that I was not that piece of material at all..." The blacksmith raised his eyes slightly, and Xiang Mu saw a look of shame on his face, slightly surprised.

"The master valued me and never punished me, but I always let him down, and failed again and again, which made his old man more and more cold, and finally one day, the master gave me the hammer and said to me, 'Go.'" At this time, I realized that my fate with his old man was over. The blacksmith took back the hammer from Xiang Mu's hand, and said in frustration, Xiang Mu frowned when he heard this, according to what the blacksmith said, he has no talent at all in building, but there are also some unreasonable places, if he really has no talent, will his master cultivate blacksmiths for so many years?

"Why can't you make good gear?" Xiang Mu asked out loud, even if ordinary people have no talent and have practiced iron for many years, they won't be unable to make some good equipment, right?

"I... I don't know·· I was ready to give up, but every time I saw this hammer, I was reluctant, but..." The blacksmith said a little dazedly, Xiang Mu could see his confusion, and Xiang Mu was more understanding.

"Doesn't your master have any advice for you?" Xiang Mu asked incredulously, if there is a problem with the blacksmith's skills or something, his master should give advice, how can he let the blacksmith fail and fall into inferiority.

"Master... Didn't say I..." The blacksmith said blankly, his master did not give him any advice.

"Shhh Xiang Mu frowned, it seems that things are more troublesome, and this task does not prompt how to enlighten the blacksmith, his master can't do anything about him, what can Xiang Mu do?

"Can I get some equipment?" Xiang Mu asked out loud, although he was a layman, but he was also curious about why the blacksmith couldn't make good equipment, he wanted to see.

“···· Good. The blacksmith was silent for a moment, then spoke up, and then lit the fire, and Xiang Mu felt the temperature of the fire.

"The first step is to get the fire to the right temperature." The blacksmith spoke up to Xiang Mu, and he was also very cooperative with Xiang Mu's observation.

"The second step is to melt the material." The blacksmith threw in a few pieces of iron and began to smelt them over the fire, and everything was fine here, and there was nothing wrong with the wood.

"The third step is to temper out the impurities and extract the essence from the rough." The blacksmith picked up the hammer and began to beat rhythmically, and Xiang Mu saw that as the blacksmith struck, the impurities in the iron began to overflow, and the red-hot iron was shrinking.

"The fourth step is quenching repeatedly." The blacksmith uses pliers to take out the red-hot iron and pass it through water, and then put it into the furnace and beat it, repeatedly removing the impurities in it, and the formed iron becomes more and more solid, and it can already be called fine iron.

"The fifth step is casting." The blacksmith began to hammer the fine iron into a sword-like weapon, and struck it repeatedly.

"Huh?" Xiang Mu suddenly found something strange at this time, he saw the blacksmith's body began to tremble slightly, he looked at the blacksmith's thick arm suspiciously, this is obviously the accumulated ironwork exercise, how can it tremble.

"Whew... Whew..." The blacksmith began to pant a little and seemed to be a little out of strength?

"Don't be nervous!" Xiang Mu hurriedly spoke, but the blacksmith was even more unbearable, trembling even more severely, and he couldn't even hold the hammer.

Xiang Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at the blacksmith who had become a little helpless, sweat was flowing from the blacksmith's forehead, and his face became a little pale, and he completed the final steps with a tremble.

"I... I can't..." The blacksmith crouched down with his head in his hands, looking at the wood at the longsword he had forged.

Iron Sword

Quality: None

Attack: 4-5

"Sure enough..." Xiang Mu saw the attributes of the equipment, and sighed secretly, this piece of equipment was exactly the same as the attributes sold, he looked at the blacksmith squatting on the ground, he probably knew what the problem was.

"Psychological disorders." Xiang Mu thought of words to summarize this situation, blacksmiths have very serious psychological disorders, many people have psychological disorders, if not counseled, it will only get more and more serious, especially in a certain field that they are good at, but this kind of problem is more likely to occur.

Xiang Mu had heard that there was a martial arts genius, and his martial arts entry was far beyond ordinary people, but he couldn't fight with people, and once he fought with people, he would tremble all over, his true qi would be disordered, and he would have a particularly serious stress reaction, and finally this person was ridiculed as an undefeated genius, and he couldn't fight and how to fail.

"Difficult..." Xiang Mu has a headache, this situation is difficult to counsel even a psychiatrist, it is okay in the early stage, and it is completely difficult to heal in the late stage.

Xiang Mu was worried, how to do a task still involves so many aspects, or it is easier to fight monsters.

"What's your name?" Xiang Mu asked suddenly, and he was suddenly curious about the name of the NPC.

"My name is Iron Mountain." The blacksmith looked up and looked at Xiang Mu with some confusion.

"Iron Mountain, what do you think is the reason why you can't make good equipment?" Xiang Mu asked as he pulled him up.

"I... Maybe·· I... Tricks··" Tie Shan said in a slurch.

"There's nothing wrong with your skills, your problem is self-confidence, you don't have self-confidence anymore! You don't even believe you're going to be able to play good gear! Xiang Mu said in a deep voice, and Tie Shan was shocked when he heard this.

"I... I··" Tie Shan looked at his calloused palms and trembled a little.

"In this way, you teach me, I'll fight!" Xiang Mu squinted his eyes and said to Tie Shan, who was stunned.
