"Qualified!"

"Unqualified!"

"Unqualified!"

"Pass the assessment and be assessed as a first-class carpenter."

"Unqualified!"

······

The assessment speed of the [Baili Chamber of Commerce] is very fast, and the people who can become 'refugees' are still a minority in skilled jobs after all, and most of them are just ordinary farmers with a little strength.

Therefore, except for the assessment of skilled workers, it will take a little longer, and others will look at who has more strength.

Of the seven or eight hundred refugees, it took less than an hour and a half for more than half of them to be eliminated, and only a dozen or so are still being assessed.

Among these dozen people, there are two venues that are the most eye-catching.

The first is the blacksmith assessment.

The second is the carpenter assessment.

In the place where the blacksmith was assessed, a pair of small twins each stood in front of an iron platform, holding a hammer, and their eyes were focused on beating the iron in front of them.

Their iron-striking skills are very peculiar, and most of the blacksmiths who have been assessed before have only forged iron ingots into qualified tools according to the assessment requirements.

But in the hands of the twins, a very ordinary iron ingot was repeatedly forged dozens of times, until layers of wave-like lines appeared on the surface of the iron ingot, and the two began to shape the iron ingot.

My brother forged a short knife, his hammer method is very calm, every time the hammer falls, the surface of the short knife will only be slightly deformed, but after a long time, a perfect knife blank will gradually appear in front of the examiner.

"It's ······ Hundred refinements? ”

The examiner's face changed slightly, and his eyes flashed with a little surprise.

On the other hand, on the younger brother's side, although they all use the same techniques, their movements are obviously a little more impatient. Especially at the critical moment of the final formation, for some reason, his forging action was sudden.

Bang it.

The sound of striking iron, which was obviously completely different from before, immediately attracted the attention of the examiner.

The elder brother, who was immersed in the last moment of forging, heard this voice, and his eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly calmed down and continued to specialize in his own tasks.

A few drops of cold sweat were dripping from his forehead, and he looked like he was a little unwell, but he still managed to complete the last few steps.

A moment later.

Two swords, with a wavy pattern on the surface, were placed in front of the examiner.

The examiner who was temporarily hired from the Purple Whale Hall by Baili Xing first picked up the short knife made by his brother and looked at it carefully.

The next second.

I saw that he suddenly picked up the short knife and slashed at the corner of the table, accompanied by a slight chopping sound, and the corner of the table made of aged willow wood was actually broken in response.

Looking at the short knife in the examiner's hand, the edge of the knife was unscathed, and there was not even a trace of gap.

When the examiner saw this, his heart suddenly became clear.

Stretched out his hand to call a disciple of the Angry Whale Gang and whispered a few words to him, and when the disciple left in a hurry, the examiner showed a gentle smile to the twins and said, "Young man, what is your name?" ”

"Little Shi Long, this is my younger brother Shi Hu."

When the elder brother of the twins heard this, he immediately arched his hand.

"Stone dragon and stone tiger, not bad, not bad. If the old man is not mistaken, the short knife you forged can already be called the 'weapon of a hundred refinements', who did you learn the art of forging from? ”

"The Vessel of a Hundred Refinings?"

Hearing the examiner's words, Shi Long Shi Hu's eyes were still a little dazed, but when many Angry Whale Gang disciples on the side heard this, they all cast shocked looks.

"My forging skills are all ancestral crafts in my family, and I haven't heard of any 'tools of refining' before." After thinking about it for a while, Shi Long finally replied honestly.

The examiner was stunned, then seemed to think of something, and then asked, "Then have you ever built a 'weapon' before?" ”

Shi Long shook his head and said: "No, in the past, in the village, I usually only helped people from a few nearby villages to build farm tools, but when I fled before, I sometimes met some guests on the road who asked for repaired blades, but this is the first time to really build weapons." ”

The examiner nodded and said, "That's no wonder. ”

"Hundred refining weapons" is generally the Jianghu people's statement for weapons. For the heroes of the rivers and lakes, a blade in their hands is often closely related to their net worth.

Therefore, most of the famous characters in the rivers and lakes will search all over the world to find high-quality materials. Then ask the world's best craftsmen to tailor weapons for you.

In the rivers and lakes, the best blades are called "divine soldiers", cutting gold and jade, like rotten mud.

The second is the "sharp weapon", which cuts wood and bones, and the blade is not injured.

At the bottom is the "weapon", that is, the ordinary blade, which has both toughness and hardness, which is stronger than ordinary iron tools, but also limited in strength.

There are two most common 'sharp weapons' in the rivers and lakes, namely: the weapon of hundred refining and the weapon of Qingfeng.

There is no superiority between the two.

It's just that in the forging process, the former attaches more importance to the craftsmanship of the craftsman, and it is necessary to rely on the craftsman's own technology to use a special technique to temper an ordinary iron ingot with special techniques to create a 'hundred refining vessels'.

The latter pays more attention to the quality of raw materials, and the better the materials, the more dazzling the weapon blade 'Qingguang' that can be made in the end, which is "Qingfeng".

However, one thing in common is that all 'sharp weapons' are extremely expensive.

The 'Divine Soldiers' are priceless.

Because every 'divine soldier' in the world is a collection of the right time, place and people, plus a certain degree of luck, it is possible to forge it occasionally.

There have been a total of 8,000 recorded inheritances in this world, but now all the recorded 'divine soldiers' today do not exceed 800 in total.

On average, it takes almost ten years to forge a 'divine soldier'.

You can imagine the value of the 'divine soldier'.

Although the "sharp weapon" is not as valuable as the "divine weapon", even the cheapest "sharp weapon" costs at least 10 taels of silver, and there is no upper limit.

Among the rivers and lakes.

Any blacksmith who can create a 'sharp weapon' does not dare to say that he is famous, but at least he is rich and noble.

But now the [Baili Chamber of Commerce] is only recruiting a few workers among the 'refugees', and it has actually recruited a blacksmith who can make 'sharp weapons', which makes people feel a little ridiculous no matter how you look at it.

"This little friend, to tell you the truth, with the old man's skills, he is no longer qualified to assess you. Therefore, I have already asked President Baili to inform him of this matter, and I will wait for him to come and make a decision. ”

"As for this little friend of Shihu, although your long sword is also excellent, it is still slightly inferior to your brother after all, and there was a mistake at the last moment, which caused a huge flaw in the sword body, so ······"

Before the blacksmith examiner finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from behind: "Blacksmith Shilong, who has passed the assessment, is designated as a 'fourth-level craftsman'." The treatment is an annual salary of 500 taels, and at the same time, the Chamber of Commerce will reward an independent courtyard, and there will be bonuses and dividends at the end of the year. ”

"As for your younger brother Shi Hu, he passed the assessment and was designated as a 'third-level craftsman', and his treatment was one hundred taels ······ an annual salary."
