Chapter 254: Continue to cheat
Translator: 549690339
“Since Niu da li said that you have the potential to become a divine Smith, you can stay here for the time being. Find an iron hammer and figure it out by yourself. I will teach you when you are able to forge a qualified half-finished product.”
The potential of a craftsman God was one in a billion. He didn’t expect li xiaonian to become a true craftsman God. As long as li xiaonian’s skill was better than his, he would have some face.
“Thank you, teacher.” Li xiaonian replied.
The two of them walked out of the room one after the other. The apprentices hurriedly retracted their ears and began to hammer the iron blocks with serious expressions.
“Master actually isn’t angry.”
what did they talk about? with Shadow’s potential, he’s not suitable for blacksmithing. It’s a miracle that master hired him and took him in.
......
Li xiaonian didn’t know what the others were thinking. He looked around the shelf and finally found a suitable iron hammer. The iron hammer was small, but it was still difficult to lift.
Quenching, burning iron.
He knocked.
Ding ... Ding ... Ding ...
Li xiaonian’s back was already drenched in sweat after knocking for more than ten minutes. The degree of change in the Refined Iron Block was almost negligible.
“Could it be that I really don’t have the talent to forge?”
Li xiaonian felt terrible.
Being a blacksmith was his only way out. As long as he was successful, he would be able to earn a stable income in the future. Even if his personal strength was weak, he would be respected wherever he went as a blacksmith.
Suddenly, li xiaonian’s eyes lit up as if he had thought of something.
Cheating. Since he had to cheat, he might as well cheat to the end.
The lightning rod weighed a million pounds and could change its size. As long as he could turn it into a suitable hammer, it would be easy to use it to forge iron.
At the thought of this, li xiaonian put down the iron hammer in his hand and said to master Huo, ” “Teacher, I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”
“Yeah.”
A look of disappointment flashed across Grandmaster Huo’s eyes.
A person could be without talent, but they couldn’t be without perseverance. He had only persisted for half an hour and already couldn’t take it anymore. This kind of person was definitely not suitable to become a blacksmith. His future achievements would be very limited.
What a pity, such a good talent.
Grandmaster Huo continued to forge his weapon, as if the things happening around him had nothing to do with him.
The moment li xiaonian left, the apprentices in the blacksmith shop looked at each other.
“Master, we’ve made an appointment with someone to go out and kill monsters today,” Zhu Tian Fu said weakly with a nervous expression.
Master Huo frowned, but he still nodded.
Zhu Tian Fu’s face was filled with joy. He bowed slightly and left in a hurry. Meng Lu Yu saw the opportunity and immediately cupped his hands and left.
The rest of the apprentices were overjoyed.
master, ” Phil followed suit, ” I’ll be leaving too. I’m on their side.
Master Huo’s face darkened. He swept his gaze across everyone and said coldly,”Today’s task is doubled. If you leave without completing the task, you don’t need to come back in the future.”
“Ah ...”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEveryone’s expression turned bitter.
He had been too careless. If he had known earlier, he would have asked for leave in advance and not let that bastard Zhu Tian Fu speak first. That bastard Zhu Tian Fu might look weak on the surface, but anyone who was familiar with him would know that he was actually an extremely Black-bellied bad boy. Only his master had always thought that Zhu Tian Fu was an honest man.
......
While walking, li xiaonian was thinking about where to set up a simple blacksmith shop.
Zhu Tian Fu and the mongrel fish caught up with li xiaonian.
Zhu Tian Fu patted li xiaonian’s shoulder and said,”Hey, Junior Brother.”
Li xiaonian turned around and confirmed that it was a familiar face. “Senior brothers, what’s the matter?”
“Sigh, what else can I do? I’m just bored and I’ve been knocking on the door every day for five years. I’m tired of it, but I can’t give up after learning for so long. It wasn’t easy for our blacksmith shop to have a Junior Brother, so of course we have to have a good meal. Let’s go, this senior brother will treat you to anything you want to eat.” Zhu Tian Fu said generously.
“This ... Thank you.”
There was no need to hesitate about such a good thing. He could use this opportunity to get to know more players.
Nether restaurant.
Zhu Tian Fu acted as if he was not short of money. He ordered a table full of sumptuous dishes and a few bottles of fine wine.
“Come, come, come, Junior Brother, drink. My name is Zhu Tian Fu, you can just call me senior brother Zhu. This is a mongrel fish, also your senior brother.”
Zhu Tian Fu enthusiastically introduced the players beside him.
Li xiaonian raised his wine glass. senior brothers, I’m sorry. I should be the one treating you. Unfortunately, I’m short of money. I’ll drink this wine first as a toast.
This table of food cost at least 20 to 30 domain coins. Apart from the rich, not many people could afford it. With this amount of money, he could use it to increase his cultivation speed.
Zhu Tianfu chuckled. Junior Brother an Ying, you’ve just joined the sect. It’s normal for you to be poor. Once you’ve truly joined the sect, you’ll have a fixed income in the future. The mongrel fish and I are both apprentices, and we only forge half-finished iron blocks for our master every day. We don’t earn much, only 100 domain coins. But as blacksmiths, it’s easy for us to earn extra money. Occasionally, I’ll take some time to help players repair their weapons. The profit won’t be too bad.”
“I’ve learned a lot.”
“Senior brothers, How long have you been learning blacksmithing under the teacher?” li xiaonian asked.
From the information on the internet, it was very difficult to get started with blacksmithing skills. Having the information was one thing, but he would only feel at ease if he could understand it personally.
“Eight years,” Zhu Tian Fu made an ‘eight’ sign with his hand. I studied in the library in the backyard for three years, and then I forged for five years outside. According to the current situation, I should be able to enter the sect and become a glorious blacksmith in three years.
The munlu fish, who had been silent all this time, scratched his head and said, ” “I’ve studied for twelve years. I’ve studied basic knowledge for five years, and I’ve studied how to temper iron blocks for seven years. I’m rather stupid. Among all the senior and junior brothers, I’m the slowest one.”
Although he had expected it.
But li xiaonian was still secretly shocked after hearing the answer.
Eight years, twelve years ... That was too long a time. How many people could endure such a long time?
As if he could read li xiaonian’s mind, Zhu Tian Fu smiled and said, Junior Brother, if you trust me, listen to my advice. If you want to do well in star field, there is only one word: ‘endure’. Whoever can endure the loneliness will be able to go further.
“Don’t look at how bored we are right now and how weak we are. As long as we can forge a bronze weapon, we can be promoted to basic blacksmiths. With this identity, no matter where you go, you’ll be able to eat and drink well.”
After a short pause, Zhu Tian Fu continued, ” “Also, don’t be in a hurry to leave the new netherworld village. Although the new netherworld village is very peaceful and there is no excitement, there are many benefits here. let’s not talk about other things. If we go to the outside city and are still apprentices, we’ll have to pay expensive tuition and no subsidies to study in the blacksmith shop. It’s not like now. No matter what you learn, as long as you’re willing, you can keep learning. You have a salary and you can even earn some extra money.”
“Okay, I know. I’ll work hard.” Li xiaonian humbly accepted the lesson.
The three of them drank and chatted.
After a conversation, he found out that there was a row of rented simple blacksmith shops at the exit of netherworld village. The apprentices of the blacksmith shops often went there part-time to repair the weapons of the players.
Just as the three of them had eaten their fill and were about to leave.
Suddenly, a man with a knife scar on his face and wearing silk clothes appeared.
When Zhu Tian Fu saw who it was, he frowned, but he still smiled and said, ” “Commander mo Xue, it’s a rare occasion for you to grace us with your presence. May I know what brings you here?”
Mo Xue was one of the three people who was competing with li xiaonian for [ blacksmith’s heart ].
Mo Xue chuckled. Zhu Tian Fu, you’re a Man of Steel. As a commander, I don’t have any advantage over you. I’m not here to find trouble with you. On the contrary, I’m here to tell you some good news.
Mo Xue leaned over and spoke in a voice that only the three of them could hear, your Junior Brother an Ying is not simple. He snatched a gold equipment [ blacksmith’s heart ] from my hands.
Mo Xue laughed heartily as he turned around and left.
Zhu Tian Fu and Meng Lu Yu looked at li xiaonian in shock. Their mouths moved, wanting to ask about the attributes and the reason, but in the end, they didn’t say anything.
Gold equipment was extremely rare, and its attributes would not be easily revealed to those who were not very close to it.
Li xiaonian was silent for a moment before he nodded.”I won’t hide it from you two senior brothers. I do have a gold quality necklace on me. I don’t intend to sell this equipment, so I hope you can forgive me.”
Zhu Tian Fu gave him a thumbs up and smiled. amazing! I can’t believe he managed to snatch a piece of equipment from blood grind. I’m so relieved.
The mongrel fish didn’t seem to have much intelligence. It scratched its head and said, ” “Junior Brother, I want to see the attributes of the necklace, can I?”
“This ...”
Li xiaonian hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he decided to reveal the attributes of [ blacksmith’s heart ] to the two of them.
[ heart of the blacksmith ]
Gold necklace
Health points +100
[ attribute: +20% success rate when forging weapons in a state of concentration, and 1% chance of forging a top-tier weapon. ]
[ cultivation speed: 1 ]
[ usage restriction: blacksmith ]
......
After seeing the attributes of [ blacksmith’s heart ], Zhu Tian Fu swallowed his saliva and said with a burning gaze, ” “Junior Brother, I know you’ll refuse, but I still want to ask again. Are you selling it? Or rather, if I were to get a gold equipment of the same quality, would you be willing to trade?”
It was no wonder that he was not tempted.
The attributes of this necklace were too powerful. Just the +20% success rate and a certain chance of forging a top-tier weapon made this necklace priceless.
To blacksmiths, it was a treasure that they had to fight for.
senior brother, I’m sorry. I’m planning to keep this equipment for my own use. Li xiaonian refused without hesitation.
hehe ... Alright, pretend I didn’t say anything just now. Come, come, come. Let’s drink, let’s drink. We won’t go home until we’re drunk.
The three of them continued to drink.
However, due to the leak of the blacksmith’s heart and Li xiaonian’s refusal to sell it, the current atmosphere was no longer as harmonious as it was before. It was as if there was a barrier between them.
Li xiaonian was well aware that this was an open scheme to grind blood. He was deliberately trying to create a Rift between him and Zhu Tian Fu. He had to admit that he had succeeded.
No matter what, before he fully understood Zhu Tian Fu’s character, he would definitely remain vigilant. If that was the case, it was impossible for the two of them to become truly good friends.
He ate and drank to his heart’s content.
Li xiaonian couldn’t stand the awkward atmosphere and said, ” “Two senior brothers, I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”
“En, go, go, good luck.”
Zhu Tian Fu was all smiles as he cheered li xiaonian on.
After li xiaonian left, the mongrel fish said, ” “Junior Brother, how are we going to snatch it?”
“Rob? What are you snatching?” Zhu Tian Fu said unhappily.
Junior Brother, ” said Meng Luyu seriously, ” I remember you once said that as long as you have your eyes on something good, you can snatch it no matter what you do. Don’t play games. This is a game. You don’t have to care about others ‘judgment. The Core Strategy is to strengthen yourself. You’re smarter than me, you must have a way.”
The corner of Zhu Tian Fu’s mouth twitched and he said with a dark expression, ” “I did say that, but that sentence only applies to outsiders. An Ying is our Junior Brother, he’s one of us.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Oh.” Meng Lu Yu nodded his head heavily. He then took out a notebook and jotted down Zhu Tian Fu’s words.
Zhu Tian Fu looked at li xiaonian’s back and felt sorry for him.
Unfortunately, that guy was his Junior Brother, so it was not easy to make a move. If not for today’s drinking session, he could pretend not to know him and Rob him, and he would not have such a psychological barrier.
......
At the entrance of the new netherworld village.
A large number of players gathered here, and they formed teams here before setting off to the wilderness.
The dense population naturally brought a lot of business.
There were quite a number of players who set up stalls.
Li xiaonian made a round of inspection and finally saw the blacksmith shop that Zhu Tian Fu had mentioned.
After finding the market manager, li xiaonian made his intentions clear.
The administrator was a valiant-looking female officer. After hearing li xiaonian’s request, she frowned.”You’re a blacksmith apprentice?”
“Um ... Not yet,” “I’m currently learning blacksmithing techniques from master Huo. I need an independent blacksmith shop to figure things out on my own and digest what my teacher has taught me,” li xiaonian added after some thought.
The female officer nodded. fine. The daily rent is three domain coins, and the deposit is 200 domain coins. You’ll have to replenish the materials used in the shop. Otherwise, it’ll be deducted from the deposit. How long do you want to rent it for? ”
“I’ll rent it for ten days.”
Three domain coins a day. The rent was very expensive, but he was not in need of money now. With the 1000 domain coins given by the snow fox and the 7200 domain coins transferred by Grina, it would be enough for him to use for a long time.
He handed over the money and the key in one hand.
After entering the shabby Smithy, li xiaonian closed the door behind him.
This shop was more than thirty times smaller than master Huo’s shop. There was only one furnace, one iron stand, and all kinds of iron ore beside it.
Li xiaonian asked Xiaoya as he started the stove, ” “Little ya, if I use the Thunder rod as an iron hammer, what’s the probability of quenching the iron ore?”
“I’m not sure. Without experimental data, Xiao Ya can’t calculate. The captain is so smart, you will definitely succeed. Good luck.”
“Yeah.”
Li xiaonian raised the furnace and threw an iron ore into it, starting the preliminary calcination process.
Then, li xiaonian stretched out his palm. Under the control of his will, the lightning rod seemed to appear out of thin air in his palm. At the same time, the lightning rod gradually became smaller and thicker, turning into a simple hammerhead.
Li xiaonian wasn’t used to not having a controller, but he could only make do with the current situation.
He took out the fiery red iron.
He held the lightning rod and struck down.
Peng ~
Sparks flew everywhere as the thick metal block was instantly smashed into a thin piece of metal. Even the metal block was almost shattered.
Li xiaonian’s eyes glowed as he examined the metal piece.”There’s a chance.”
the first time, the strength was a little too much. As long as I control my strength well, the speed of quenching an iron ore is not slower than that of master Huo.
The clip turned the red iron piece over and knocked it down again.
Bang! Bang!
This time, the force was weaker, but it was still too strong. The iron piece was squeezed again and became another iron piece.
For a moment.
Two hits.
......
Li xiaonian’s movements became more and more skilled.
It took master fire more than half an hour to remove the impurities from the iron block, but li xiaonian only used a dozen minutes to remove most of the impurities.
The difference in quality was a Little Big, but this was not a problem. After all, it was almost impossible for there to be no difference in the quality of the iron ore refined for the first time.
