Chapter Twenty-Seven: Industry and Forging
Xu Que is now like a capital predator, he never knows what full is, the powerful dissatisfaction occupies his body, leaving the Oriental Pearl Tower, he began to advance towards the novice village, on the way he turned into a devil, as long as the zombies he encountered could not escape his clutches.
Zhang Qian, the hostess who followed behind, only felt that Xu Que was very murderous, even more terrifying than zombies.
It wasn't until evening that Xu Que and Zhang Qian stood at the south entrance of the novice.
"Okay, you're safe now, and you can consider joining when someone else builds a survivor camp." Xu Que said to Zhang Qian.
"Little brother, aren't you going in?" Zhang Qian asked a little embarrassed.
"I still have something to do, let's see you later." After Xu Que waved his hand, he walked in the other direction of the novice village.
Zhang Qian watched Xu Que's back drift away, and she reluctantly withdrew her gaze to look at the novice village.
It is better to call it the novice city than the novice village, the city wall is more than five meters high, built of unknown stone, the first sight of entering the novice village is big, and the big one is a little scary.
Zhang Qian followed behind the other players, walking inside one after another, and she didn't know what she could do now.
Xu Que, who was walking around the city wall, seemed to be thinking about something, as for why he didn't enter directly, it was because there were too many people in the novice village now, and it would take twice as long to get to the place he was going to directly.
When Xu Que stood at the west entrance of the novice village, it was already full of people. The corners of Xu Que's eyes twitched, fortunately he didn't enter the novice village, otherwise he wouldn't have thought about coming over for three hours.
"I'm going, what are so many people doing?" A young player asked.
"I heard that I was buying a shop in front of me, and it seems that there is a big deviation in price." Another player said.
Hearing that he was buying a shop, Xu Que "chuckled" in his heart, wouldn't it be so fast?
"I'll go, who is this person, don't squeeze it!"
"It's just, there are so many people, what should I do if there is danger?"
Xu Que didn't care about this, he squeezed forward hard, he didn't want to leave this piece of fat, after all, when the main city didn't appear, he had to hold on to this blacksmith shop.
Just as Xu Que was about to squeeze to the front, a player said angrily: "Old man, don't toast or eat and drink, 10,000 copper coins must be sold to me!" β
"Young man, what I want is 50 prestige points plus 10,000 copper coins, if you only give me copper coins and don't give me prestige, I won't sell them." The old man at the blacksmith shop said.
"Hey, what is prestige, I think you're deliberately making things difficult for me." Then the player speaks and raises the one-handed sword.
Seeing the player raise his one-handed sword, the old man at the smithy shop smirked and slammed his hammer into the anvil in front of him.
"Buzz!"
A powerful air flow spreads rapidly from between the anvil and the hammer, rushing towards the surrounding players in an instant.
The players who had been standing and watching fell backwards, and those with a constitution lower than 10 fell to the ground.
"Are you still going to rob it?" The old man at the smithy asked.
"Boom."
The player swallowed in fright, and sprinted into the crowd without trying to get up.
Seeing that the player was scared away, the onlookers burst out laughing, but they closed their mouths with a smile, because the current magic capital has changed, and the original social order is no longer there.
Seeing that the excitement was gone, the players walked towards the center of the novice village, and their expressions were different, some with sadness, some with longing.
Xu Que stiffened the crowd, and only after turning around did he squeeze out the crowd and come to the old blacksmith.
"100 prestige, how about buying your shop?" Xu Que asked directly.
Hearing Xu Que's words, the crowd that was about to leave suddenly stood up and looked at Xu Que and the old blacksmith with an incredulous expression.
The old blacksmith looked at Xu Que with a surprised and shocked expression, and after looking at it for more than ten seconds, the old blacksmith asked, "Young man, what you said is true?" β
The crowd around them who were about to watch the show were thundered by the old blacksmith's words, who can tell them what the situation is?
"I'll go, is the reputation worth more than that Calamity Coin?"
"The point is not this, but that this young man actually has prestige!"
β¦β¦
Xu Que ignored the comments of the players around him, for him, the 100 points of prestige to buy this shop was definitely his advantage.
I remember in the last life, when everyone was busy upgrading, there was a small team that finally bought a blacksmith shop for ten days, originally everyone thought they were fools, but when the main city was opened, everyone had no money to buy supplies, and the small team actually stood at the gate of the city to collect people, as long as the people who entered their guild were rewarded with five bottles of gold sore medicine and five days of food.
But Xu Que knew a more important clue, that is, after buying the blacksmith shop, the old blacksmith would teach his skills to the owner of the blacksmith shop, and the guy who bought the shop in the previous life seemed to have become a senior blacksmith.
"Uncle, if I can, I'm willing to spend 100 prestige to buy this shop." Xu Que said respectfully to the old blacksmith.
"Haha, okay, good, this is the contract of the blacksmith's shop, if you think it's okay, sign it." The old blacksmith smiled proudly, then took out an old contract and handed it to Xu Que.
After taking the contract, Xu Que briefly looked at it for a while, and found that there was no problem, he signed his name directly.
When his name was signed, the blacksmith instantly connected with him, and it was a strange feeling, as if he could manipulate the blacksmith shop.
"Young man, come in with me, I have something to explain to you." When the old blacksmith had finished speaking, he took his hammer and went to the blacksmith's shop.
Xu Que did not immediately follow the old blacksmith into the shop, he stood at the door of the blacksmith shop and shouted to the surrounding crowd: "From today onwards, this blacksmith shop belongs to me, in order to indicate the opening of the new shop, from tomorrow, the repair of equipment for three consecutive days will be free of charge." β
Hearing Xu Que's words, everyone was not calm, can you repair equipment for free?
"Thank you boss, you are a great person!"
"Boss, if you have needs in the future, just call us the Charge Squad, and we promise to help you complete it."
β¦β¦
Xu Que listened to everyone's words of thanks and compliments, just smiled and waved, and then walked towards the blacksmith shop.
Entering the blacksmith shop, what catches your eye is a super-large furnace, Xu Que has also entered the blacksmith shop in the previous life, but he has never seen such a large furnace.
"Haha, young man, don't you think this furnace is big?" The old blacksmith asked with a smile.
"Well, it's huge, it's more than I could have imagined." Xu said with a weak head.
"There's more to it than you think, and for you, the world has changed, and even the rarest things will appear." The old blacksmith is colorful.
Hearing the old blacksmith's words, Xu Que nodded in agreement, the things he had seen in the previous life were almost 200% beyond human cognition, so he agreed with the old blacksmith's words very much.
"Okay, let's get down to business, this is a set of master blacksmith codex, and these two drawings are grandmaster level blacksmith illustrated books, although they are only 8% complete, they are far beyond the master codex." As the old blacksmith spoke, he took out a codex and two drawings and pushed them in front of Xu Que.
Xu Que was completely frightened by these two gifts, he originally thought it was a high-level blacksmith codex, but it turned out to be a master-level and grandmaster-level item.
"Don't be so shocked, if you're lucky enough, I hope you can get all the Grandmaster-level drawings together, and now I'll teach you the art of blacksmithing." As the old blacksmith spoke, he pointed his finger at the center of Xu Que's eyebrows.
Before Xu Que could wake up from the shock, a skill about blacksmith skills instantly entered his mind.
γDing! Congratulations to the player Xu Que, who has learned the life skill "Forging", the current forging level is a trainee, and the upgrade experience is 0/1000. γ
The old blacksmith looked at Xu Que and nodded with satisfaction, and then put the hammer in his hand in front of Xu Que: "Okay young man, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, if we have a fate, we will see you in the future!" β
