Chapter 7 Calligraphy and Painting Skills
The sun is setting in the west, and the shadow of the plane tree is stretched long.
In the courtyard, a stone fastened a stake thicker than an adult man's arm, then turned and ran away.
"Alright, big brother, it's time to start!"
"Hmm!" Wei Yi nodded, holding the sword that had just been built, and stepped forward.
The aunt and sister on the side were also looking at him expectantly.
He went to the stake, and without further ado, swung his sword, and slashed diagonally at the stake.
Boom –
With a crisp sound.
The stake broke in response, and the section was very flat, enough to see the sharpness of the sword.
In fact, Wei Yi himself had already done some tests just now.
For example, percussion sound, bending test toughness, and chopping wire to test hardness, etc.
I can almost be sure that the performance of this sword I have built is very good.
Now the stake is cut to give my aunt and sister some intuitive feelings.
Sure enough, seeing Wei Yi cut off the wooden stake with a sword, Wei Xue and Wei Qing were both full of surprise.
His eyes were full of excitement.
In fact, they were already very surprised when they saw Wei Yi really forging a sword.
They knew Wei Yi very well, but they had never struck iron before.
Yesterday was really the first day he picked up a hammer and struck iron.
In less than two days, a sword was actually forged.
And it's a sword that can easily cut through a stake.
It's incredible.
Although Wei Yi learned to cook last night, he was also able to learn it as soon as he learned it.
But in their opinion, this iron is far more difficult than cooking.
"Brother, you, you're too powerful, how did you do it, you were able to create a sword so quickly!" Wei Qing was excited, and her beautiful eyes were full of admiration.
"Maybe this is the innate talent of our Wei family. And the second uncle strikes iron every day, and I have learned a lot of things.
It's just that I didn't want to do it before, but after some exploration yesterday, I also found a way. Wei Yi casually made an excuse and explained.
But at this time, Wei Xue and Wei Qing, who had been carried away by joy, had no mind to think about the reason.
"Yi'er is really amazing, sure enough, smart people can do anything, they can pick up a pen and write, they can also wield a hammer and hit an iron, Auntie is really proud of you!" Wei Xue's mood was also very excited and joyful.
Although she didn't want Wei Yi to be a blacksmith in her heart, she was reluctant to let him do the heavy work.
But the harsh reality lies ahead of them.
Wei Tieshan was imprisoned, and the Wei family basically lost their financial resources.
Now that Wei Tieshan has not been sentenced, the county government may still have some money.
Even more owed the two stewards of the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion so much money that they hadn't repaid.
The Wei family can be said to be at the end of their rope.
The so-called nest has eggs under it.
If the whole family even has a problem with life, what will she do to pamper Wei Yi and protect Wei Yi.
And now, Wei Yi can also forge swords, which makes this family seem to have hope again.
She could only suffer Wei Yi and rely on him to re-support the family.
And although Wei Yi has worked hard in the past two days, he seems to be a lot stronger than before.
In the past, he was frail and sickly, and he was always afraid that he would tire up and hurt his body.
Now it seems that it is really as Wei Yi said.
This kind of iron striking is also a kind of exercise, but it can strengthen the body.
"Auntie, Qing'er, don't worry, maybe it won't be long before I can create a sword that meets the standards of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, and maybe I also hope to become a nine-rank sword caster!" Wei Yi said with a slight expression.
He knew very well that he meant hope for this family.
And hope is the only force that can sustain the whole family and tide over the difficulties.
The sword in his hand is actually completely able to be sold in the market.
Even if the standard of collecting swords in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion is high, there are other sword shops that will accept it.
So now I can make money for my family.
In addition to swords, you can also make other ironware for daily use and sell them in the shop.
Although it doesn't make much, at least it has a source of income.
"Okay, okay, auntie believes in you, this family has a good family, there is no difficulty that we can't overcome!" Auntie's eyes suddenly turned red again, but this time it was happy, not sad.
During this time, the changes in her family made her feel as if she had pressed a mountain on her body.
She could only support herself, very helpless and desperate.
And now, with Yi'er, she helps her support this family.
The burden on her shoulders seemed to be a lot lighter all of a sudden, and her heart was both happy and moved.
"Yi'er, Auntie will cook you a few more good dishes tonight, treat you well!" Wei Xue's eyes were full of tears, but the corners of his mouth were smiling.
"Okay, but I'll cook tonight, and you will guide me!" Wei Yi said with a smile.
In order to complete the construction of the sword as soon as possible at noon, he did not go to cook.
And the cooking skill is only 13.1415926% proficiency away from being able to advance to the second level.
So he wanted to come to dinner himself, so that his cooking skills could also be advanced.
When the time comes, let's see what level of cooking skills you can reach after this advancement.
"Okay, Auntie, I'm going to buy some meat and come back!" Wei Xue said with a smile.
Wei Xue went to the butcher's shop, while Wei Yi went back to his room and began to study ink and write.
As he wrote the word "Wei Yi" on the paper, two sets of numbers 17 and 15 appeared in front of his eyes one after another.
"Is this proficiency value related to strokes?" Wei Yi felt that he had discovered a pattern.
So I immediately started writing and wrote a poem of Li Bai's "Chivalrous Journey" directly on paper.
It turned out exactly as he had guessed.
And after the song "Chivalrous Journey" was written, the data of his writing skills finally changed.
Writing Skill: 2nd Tier (99.9% proficiency away from leveling)
This writing upgrade is a bit slow!
Wei Yixin said.
But on second thought, maybe it's also because of the writing skills, which are now second-order.
Therefore, there will be more proficiency values required for promotion.
"Leave him alone, the liver will be finished!"
Wei Yi immediately started writing again, and successively wrote Li Bai's "Dragon Sword Poems", "White Horse Chapter" and other ancient poems.
Although Wei Yi in his previous life was a science student.
However, one of the sister papers pursued by the university at that time was a major in Chinese language and philology.
In order to have some common language with his sister paper, he taught himself a lot of ancient poems.
There's a lot of inventory in my head.
It's a pity that I found out later that the sister paper only likes celebrity gossip and beauty wear.
However, in Wei Yi's view, no knowledge can be learned in vain.
Wouldn't that come in handy now?
Although there are no Confucianism and Taoist practitioners in this world.
But in the Great Yan Dynasty, there were also many literati and writers.
Good poetry can still be famous all over the world.
It's just that if you want to rely on copying poetry and exchange for wealth and status in this world, it may not be so easy.
But Wei Yi always felt that words have power.
Although there is no Confucianism and Taoism in this world.
But maybe the day when I will turn this writing skill into a supernatural power.
It can also make those ancient poems exert some special powers.
Wei Yi fantasized like this in his heart.
As Wei Yi continued to write, he realized that it didn't matter if the handwriting overlapped each other.
As long as there is ink written on paper, the proficiency will continue to increase.
And even if it's sloppy.
Therefore, Wei Yi gradually increased the speed of his pen and kept writing words on the paper.
Later, he simply wrote his name and kept repeating it.
He didn't stop until the whole sheet of paper had turned inky and there was no more blankness.
Wei Yi looked at his system panel.
Writing Skill: Tier 2 (95% proficiency away from leveling)
"This speed is okay, at least it's a lot easier than striking iron!" Wei Yixin said.
