Chapter 5 The Will of the Immortal Blacksmith
Under the vicious sunshine, a cool breeze flowed through the entrance of the Xiao family courtyard because of a few ancient trees. Under the shade of the trees, two boys looked at each other, and a tall and exquisite girl stood next to her.
"What qualifications are the waste from the Zhao family who is qualified to meet Uncle Xiao? Xiao Yi, let's go!" Seeing Zhao Chen silent, Zhongwei mistakenly thought that Zhao Chen was still the original Zhao Chen, and a hint of boredom flashed in his eyes. He seemed to curse his lips at the two guards of the Xiao family inadvertently, and then walked into the gate with curses.
"waste!"
Zhao Chen chewed these two words in his mouth and repeated soft murmurs. Many miserable scenes in his memory appeared in his mind one by one. He clenched his fists tightly, but forced himself to take action because he knew that he was not Zhongwei's opponent.
"what to do?"
However, Zhao Chen was running at high speed, constantly thinking about various methods, but he denied them one by one.
The two guards who followed him looked unbearable: "Young Master...Young Master is only sixteen years old!"
At the age of sixteen, he should have practiced carefreely and enjoyed a great youth, but now he has to endure the insults of others for the sake of his family, and even without saying a word. How can a child withstand such pressure!
Looking at Zhao Chen's frowning brows, they felt distressed. If they were not afraid of destroying the plan of the head of the family Zhao Qing, they would have almost couldn't help but take the initiative to beat the playboy Zhongwei and vent the depression in their hearts for the young master.
Just as Zhongwei took five or six steps, Zhao Chen's eyes lit up: "Wait!"
"What? Little waste? Not convinced? If you have the will, compete with me!" Zhongwei looked full of contempt and disdain.
"Compare! Of course, we need to compare!" Zhao Chen slowly raised his head, his eyes clear, as if he could see through people's hearts, "But it's not a competition for mysterious skills."
"Hahaha~ha!" Zhongwei laughed exaggeratedly, "If you don't compete in Xuangong, what do you want to compete? Build weapons or refining medicines?" In his opinion, Zhao Chen was completely asking for trouble. In addition to Xuangong, there are five noble professions in the Fantasy Continent, namely forgeter, tailor, alchemist, alchemist and cooker. The first three professions are to create various weapons and equipment, and the latter two professions are to produce medicines, food or strange wines with various magical effects. This is similar to the auxiliary professions in "Dream".
"Build! Are you not the young master of the Blacksmith Family? Do you have the courage to compete with me to create skills?" Zhao Chen looked at Zhongwei lightly, regaining the expression of the ancient well-being Wubo in his previous life.
Although the provocation method is old-fashioned, for a proud 16 or 17-year-old boy, it is accurate to use it.
Zhongwei looked at Zhao Chen like a fool. If he competed with other things, he wouldn't be able to say anything, but Zhao Chen chose the project he was best at. Doesn't Zhao Chen know that what he is best at is building? He has more confidence in the creation skills. In the entire Jianye City, except for his cousin and those older generation forging masters, he considered himself second, but no one dared to recognize first.
He looked at Tang Lan deeply, and Zhongwei was unafraid: "Okay! Since you don't know how to live or die, then I will fulfill your wishes. But there should be a lottery for the competition, otherwise I wouldn't bother to spend this effort."
This was exactly what Zhao Chen wanted, and he responded without any haste: "What's the lottery?"
"If you lose, the jade pendant you wear is mine? How about it?" A greed flashed in Zhongwei's eyes. He had been coveting this jade pendant for a long time. His father Zhongxin once told him that the jade pendant on Zhao Chen was a level 5 inlay material purple king jade. If a powerful forgeator takes action, it would be enough to increase the power of a weapon by 50%.
To Zhongwei's surprise, Zhao Chen actually agreed: "Okay! But what if you lose?"
"Young Master!" The two guards hurriedly persuaded.
Zhao Chen waved his hand and stopped the two of them, staring at Zhongwei, waiting for his answer.
"Huh! Will I lose? Hahaha~ha!" Zhongwei pointed at Zhao Chen and laughed invisibly, almost burst into tears.
"Yes, you will lose!" Zhao Chen said lightly: "It's time for you to talk about your lottery now."
"No~ I won't lose. How could a person from my blacksmith family lose to you a waste?" Zhongwei shook his head and said proudly.
"So, what you mean is that if I win, it means I don't win. If I lose, I will lose the jade pendant?" Zhao Chen's eyes were filled with strong disdain, and he shook his head, and he turned around and was about to walk away.
"Okay!" Seeing that Zhao Chen was about to leave, Zhongwei finally agreed, "If I lose, the three blacksmith shops that make the most profitable in my name, including the forgeators, will all be yours. This should be OK, right?"
Compared with the blacksmith shop in a small city like Jianye City, the immortal level purple king jade is undoubtedly incomparable with gold bricks and adobe bricks. However, Zhao Chen knew this, but he nodded seriously and said, "You choose a place yourself! I will accompany you at any time!"
Xiao Yi watched from the side and didn't say anything, as if all this had nothing to do with her... However, all this had nothing to do with her.
"Young Master..." The two Zhao family guards looked at Zhao Chen worriedly.
"The best blacksmith shop in my name - the fine blacksmith shop is pretty good, and the quality of the stove is acceptable. Let's go there now, and Xiao Yi will take a look." Zhongwei also knew that Xiao Yi looked down on him. If it weren't for the relationship between his cousin Zhongjun, I was afraid that Xiao Yi would have left long ago, so he was still polite to Xiao Yi.
The group quickly left the door of the Xiao family's mansion, and the guards immediately reported the news to Xiao Ding.
The Zhong family owns more than 40 blacksmith shops in Jianye City, of which 26 are controlled by the head of the family Zhong Mengji, and the remaining twenty are controlled by Zhong Wei, and Zhong Jun controls thirteen. The number of blacksmith shops controlled by Zhong Jun is nearly twice that of Zhong Wei. From then on, it can be seen that the status gap between Zhong Wei and Zhong Jun in the family is.
In the fine blacksmith shop.
Zhao Chen and Zhongwei signed a city contract. As an absolutely authoritative contract in each city, no one dares to violate the content of the contract. Once it is violated, it will be banned by all forces in the entire city.
The fine blacksmith shop has two forging rooms. Zhao Chen and Zhongwei inspected the two forging rooms respectively and confirmed that there were no items that could be cheated. Then they entered a forging room and ordered four guards to supervise it. Finally, they asked Xiao Yi to be a notary, which completely eliminated the possibility of one of them cheating.
Zhao Chen, who entered the forging room, immediately checked the stove and other forging equipment.
After checking all the forging equipment such as stoves, forging hammers, cooling devices, etc. Zhao Chen was very satisfied. Although the quality of these equipment could not even be as high as that of the immortal-level set for forging equipment he used in his previous life, it was also very good in the eyes of ordinary people. After all, there are only a few immortal-level forging equipment in the entire "Dream" and the god-level forging equipment are only present in the legend.
Forging is divided into three major steps: one is tempering, the second is forming, and the third is attachment.
Based on Zhao Chen's experience in the game, one and two steps determine the success rate of forging, and three steps determine the quality of the weapon.
It can be said that for forgeators above the gold level, the third step is the most important step, because the first two steps are basically impossible for them to make mistakes. The third step determines the quality of the weapon, which is the level and level of the weapon. The level is the level required when equiping weapons. The level is divided into seven levels: ordinary, bronze, silver, gold, immortal weapons, magical artifacts and super artifacts. The Fantasy Continent directly divides the levels of the forgeers and weapons into levels one to seven.
Everything is ready, build begins.
"Make a fire!"
A low voice came from Zhao Chen's mouth. The white little hand suddenly pulled the bellows, and the bellows made a slight buzzing sound. It sounded so comfortable to Zhao Chen's ears.
“Tempering!”
Three pieces of low-quality ore were clamped into the stove with metal pliers, and the red flame with purple suddenly rushed upwards by half a meter.
“Ziz~”
The volume of the ore continued to shrink and flowed into the instruments that Zhao Chen had prepared long ago. The fiery red metal liquid emitted a scorching high temperature, and one after another of heat waves came to his face. Zhao Chen's handsome little face was immediately illuminated red.
After three consecutive quenching, most of the impurities have been removed.
"rise!"
Zhao Chen held the instrument that was almost as thick as his arm, and instantly lifted it up and placed it in the cooling device to let the metal liquid cool itself, but his other hand held a forged hammer of about a hundred pounds, ready to hit the hammer at any time.
The metal liquid stayed in the water for a second, and a large number of bubbles suddenly appeared on the water surface and began to boil.
At this moment, Zhao Chen moved his hands, and the pliers holding the metal block in his left hand were instantly lifted up, and placed them on the huge stone bed on the left. The forged hammer in his right hand hit him without hesitation.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
The rhythmic hammer sounded slowly, and pleasant notes came out of the shop and drifted far outside the house.
Repeat the steps of heating and pounding three times, and the embryo gradually takes shape. This is a black and blue heavy sword, about three and a half feet long and half a foot wide. Its shape is unique and heavy. Although it is not known its quality yet, just looking at it makes those power-type mysterious practitioners feel overjoyed.
Finally, when the fourth thrashing step was over, the heavy sword was completely formed.
After the last heating, when the heavy sword that still maintained the fiery red was lifted, Zhao Chen's expression became unprecedentedly solemn. As an immortal-level forging master, although he had now lost the various skills and quality bonuses for forging in the game, his forging experience and skills could not be erased.
Step 3: Attached spirit!
Zhao Chen subconsciously used the skills of forging weapons in "Dream" and the will of the immortal-level forging master was integrated into his spirit. The mysterious energy within three meters around was absorbed in this instant. The fiery red heavy sword first burst out a white light, and then slowly cooled down in the air.
"Ding! Congratulations to player Zhao Chen forged a silver weapon, triggering the sealed auxiliary profession - the forgeator, complete the initial unblocking of the profession, and triggering the main mission - the full-time master, the system rewards 100 points of reputation."
"Ding! Since this weapon is not a fairy weapon and is not unique, players cannot name it, and the system is automatically named 'Steel Heavy Sword'."
The will of the immortal-level forging master!
It is enough to increase the quality of ordinary weapons to a higher level! This is the real terrifying thing about the immortal-level forging masters!
The god-level forging is even more terrifying. Ordinary ores can also create gold-quality weapons in their hands. The super god-level forging is to turn stones into gold. Any material can be used to the extreme in their hands. Even if it is forged, it is not surprising.
