Chapter 46: Sharpen the knife and hunt strange beasts!
"It's good to charge for piecework. In this way, if you want to make money, you can work more. When you don't want to work, you can still spare time to collect ginseng!"
Lin Bei’s purpose is to become the signature caster of [Dali Blacksmith Shop], so that he can have more freedom and more choices!
However, at present, you still have to complete the casting of an excellent weapon before you can pass Jiang Dali's assessment!
When the materials were delivered, Lin Bei stood in front of his blacksmith's stove, bare-chested, revealing his strong body, with clear muscle mass and smooth and natural lines.
"Hey! Hey!"
With loud shouts, the sledgehammer in his hand was smashed down one by one, sweat sprinkled, and the iron block was deformed by beating.
Fold and forge again!
But fold it again and continue forging!
There were endless jingles and jingles.
After repeated this, after dozens of times, the impurities were removed and the iron block was red like fire!
This process lasted for several days, and Lin Bei didn't know how many hammers he waved. It was roughly estimated that there should be tens of thousands of hammers!
If it were an ordinary person, his arms would have been scrapped after such frequent hammer swings, but Lin Bei didn't feel much except for some fatigue.
After practicing the Spiritual Ginseng Technique for two hours, you will be resurrected with full blood!
Throwing, quenching, polishing...
Unlike the sword casting in previous lives, in order to cast higher quality swords, this world will add some special ores, which are unique to this extraordinary world ores.
Such swords are sharper, harder and more flexible than ordinary swords!
Naturally, the techniques are more complicated.
A series of operations not only requires strength, but also skill. A caster with superb skills cannot be competent.
After ten days.
"Okay! What an excellent sword!"
Jiang Dali held the long sword in both hands and looked at it carefully, shocked.
"I didn't expect you to cast an excellent weapon! Although there are some flaws, I think it's because the technique is not proficient enough. Just forge a few more pieces, and I think it can make up for it..."
An excellent weapon costs at least ten taels of silver.
In his blacksmith shop, there are only four of them who have the ability to forge excellent weapons, and they are all regarded as the signature store by him.
Now, another one has been added, and his blacksmith shop is full of talents!
He was still very satisfied with this!
In this way, Lin Bei became one of the signature casters of [Dali Blacksmith Shop], collecting money by number of pieces and accepting customization!
Start by earning one weapon and two taels of silver. If you can receive customization and complete casting, you can even receive a high reward of seven or eight taels of silver for one weapon.
"That is, the price is between two and eight taels of silver!"
Lin Bei feels pretty good.
If you make a half-fold, if you can earn five taels of silver per piece, you can cast three weapons a month, which is fifteen taels of silver.
In a year, I can get one hundred and fifty taels of silver!
Apart from the expenses, you can afford a 20-year-old blood ginseng plant in just over a year!
"Thinking this way, the ironworking seems to be not as profitable as you imagined!"
Lin Bei's eyes glowed and he raised his head to calculate his annual salary.
There are quite a lot of them!
Of course, he also knew that he must be thinking about it.
The algorithm is wrong.
There are very few big players who customize weapons. After all, they are expensive and require luck. I am afraid that it will be rare to meet a few people throughout the year.
Therefore, Datou is still creating weapons orders for [Dali Blacksmith Shop].
It would be nice to have seven or eight taels of silver a month. Ten taels of silver can only be encountered when the business is prosperous!
...
The snow melts, the plants and trees sprout, the frozen lake flows again, and the breath of spring covers the earth.
Adhering to the concept of "Capturing ginseng people, collecting ginseng souls, collecting ginseng is the best", within one month, Lin Bei went to the mountain six times.
All six times were returned without success, and no single ginseng hair was found, and only a few pheasants that had grown for two and a half years were brought back.
This made him somewhat disappointed.
In a month, he only created an excellent sword. Apart from the expense of running around the mountain, it is equivalent to working for a month in vain.
"It's better to stay in the blacksmith shop and fight iron for a month!"
Lin Bei sighed.
This is just a frustration. The business of the blacksmith shop has been average during this period and the demand is not large.
The forged weapons are worth more than ten or twenty taels. Forging three excellent weapons a month will make six or seven taels of silver if you die.
Lin Bei, who is used to making quick money, really feels that it’s a bit too little!
If you continue to do this, it will take more than two years to afford a 20-year-old blood ginseng.
So, he planned to go up the mountain and try his luck to see if he could pick another ginseng of twenty years.
Unfortunately, there is not a single hair!
"My benefactor, don't be upset. You rely on the heaven to make a living by collecting ginseng. Good luck can make a fortune. If you are not lucky, you will naturally have no harvest. If you don't get anything for a month, it is normal."
Lao Li also went up the mountain several times, mainly for Lin Bei's sake, so he brought his two sons to serve as guides.
However, even though he lived in Changyin Mountain for decades and had extremely rich experience in collecting ginseng, he still had no gains under his extraordinary luck.
But as an old ginseng picker, he felt that this was normal.
"Do you know where there are traces of strange beasts?"
Lin Bei shook his head and asked suddenly.
"A strange beast?"
Old Li was slightly stunned and asked, "Does benefactor want to hunt a strange beast?"
"Hunting alien beasts is more dangerous. Even the lowest-strength alien beasts are comparable to those of the fourth or fifth level of Qi and Blood, and should not be underestimated."
"There are many warriors in the city who rely on hunting alien beasts for a living, but they all form hunting teams, relying on the advantage of the number of people, and setting up traps to hunt ferocious alien beasts..."
Lao Li directly introduced the knowledge he learned.
There are many different things about how to form a team, how to arrange traps, the living habits of various strange beasts.
Although it is not necessarily accurate, there is indeed a lot of information.
I have to say that there is an old family, like a treasure.
For Lin Bei, meeting such a reliable old man also solved many inconveniences.
His understanding of Changsheng Town is far less than that of Lao Li. He has been practicing hard all year round, and he can only occasionally find out some news when he goes to the brothel to listen to music, and he does not have enough knowledge of many aspects.
Continuing to listen to Lao Li's introduction, Lin Bei had a more comprehensive understanding of hunting strange beasts.
After Lao Li finished talking about this, he said, "I know a few places about the traces of strange beasts, but there may not be any strange beasts!"
Changyin Mountain is very large, but after decades of going up the mountain to collect ginseng, Lao Litou naturally has a very good understanding of many areas.
Among them, there are many areas where strange beasts appear.
However, he usually kept this information in his mind to avoid danger and did not dare to make any decisions about the other party.
"very good!"
Lin Bei showed an interesting look and asked, "I want to try hunting strange beasts. I wonder if you would like to be together?"
Hunting alien beasts is extremely dangerous. Old Li, an experienced old man, knows some ways to arrange traps, which can help him a lot.
"Hunting a strange beast!"
Li Fei and Li Xin's eyes were shiny and they were ready to move.
The two of them were young and were in a passionate age. Compared with ginseng, they naturally prefer to hunt alien beasts.
However, their strength was too weak before, and even if they could set up traps, it was still extremely dangerous.
"this……"
Old Li was a little hesitant.
