Chapter 253: Blacksmithing is a skill
Translator: 549690339
Randomly flipping through the book was considered learning?
A middle-aged player stood up from his seat and said coldly, ” “You said you were studying, so we’ll believe you for now. If I remember correctly, the book you were reading just now was about zero elemental ore. I’ll test you now. If you can’t answer, please get lost.”
Without waiting for li xiaonian to respond, the middle-aged player said, ” what’s the use of the zero element? which area does it usually appear in? ”
Li xiaonian didn’t even think about it and directly relayed Xiaoya’s words, ” the zero element is mainly used to temper level 28 steel and can also be used to forge high-level gold weapons in extreme cold. There’s not much of it in the market right now, and each gram costs more than 30000 domain coins. It usually appears in the subterranean layer where the extreme cold and heat meet.”
The middle-aged player was shocked. He gritted his teeth and continued, ” what kind of metal can the zero element counter? what kind of metal is it? what is its behavior? ”
The question seemed simple, but it would take at least a dozen pages of the book to answer. He didn’t believe that li xiaonian could answer it.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know who he was facing. He was facing the living AI Xiao Ya.
there is no metal that can restrain the zero element. If I must say that there is, then there are metals that can restrain extreme cold and extreme heat. For example ...
Li xiaonian said.
Li xiaonian spent half an hour answering this question.
In the half an hour, the students were all stunned. Finally, everyone’s eyes fell on the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man’s face was ashen as he smiled bitterly. he’s right. I have to admit that his memory is really good.
Although everyone had expected this, one could imagine the shock in their hearts when they received a positive answer.
“Brother, you’re so powerful. Don’t tell me that your real identity is the star Lord?”
genius, he’s definitely a genius. With such ability, why would he learn smithing techniques? he might as well use it in other places.
“Sigh ... It’s infuriating to compare people. We need at least three years to barely remember all the books in the library. With this senior brother’s memory, he’ll be able to finish it in a week at most.”
......
Li xiaonian was secretly delighted to be admired by everyone. He laughed and said, ” I’ve already proven myself, so please forgive me if I’ve disturbed you.
I’m not disturbing you, I’m not disturbing you. Senior brother, please help yourself.
“That’s right. We don’t care about these few days anyway.”
The crowd responded enthusiastically.
Li xiaonian nodded and entered recording mode again. He took out a book and flipped through it. It only took li xiaonian a few minutes to read a book that was five to six centimeters thick.
In one night, li xiaonian recorded the books on two bookshelves.
He had no choice but to leave when the sky started to brighten.
Previously, he had received the butcher’s butcher’s mission, so he had to go back and report now. Otherwise, if the NPC got angry, the consequences would be very serious.
When he arrived at the butcher’s stall, the butcher still hadn’t returned. The independent meat stall was empty.
After walking for dozens of meters, li xiaonian came to an NPC selling vegetables. “MA ‘am, may I ask when butcher Yan will be back? Or rather, when is he going to open his stall?”
“Butcher Yan? He went to the Rat King cave and hasn’t returned yet. He’s most likely dead.” The middle-aged woman said coldly.
“Um, thank you.”
Li xiaonian retreated in defeat.
He had a hundred reasons to be sure that butcher Zhai must have had a grudge with this aunty. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have to curse butcher Zhai like this.
In order to confirm, li xiaonian visited the NPCs around him, and the answer he got was surprisingly the same: ‘butcher Yan is dead’.
“He can’t really be dead, right?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter some thought, li xiaonian asked where butcher Yan lived and went straight to his house.
The area where butcher Yan lived was relatively remote. There was no one around, and the place was very simple.
Butcher Yi’s residence was located at the top of a half-collapsed building.
Climbing to the roof.
Da, da, da ~
Li xiaonian knocked on the door. senior, are you there? I’m an Ying, the mutant who accepted your mission.
After a long time, a hoarse voice came from the room, ” “Come in,”
He pushed the door open and entered.
The first thing he saw was a mess on the ground. There were traces of blood on the ground that had appeared not long ago. He looked at butcher Yan. At this time, butcher Yan was half lying on the wall. His legs had been intact, but now only his left leg was left. Even a few fingers were broken.
“Senior ... Are you alright?”
Even though li xiaonian was not happy with butcher Yan, he couldn’t help but sympathize with him.
Last night, Niu da li had just died, and today, butcher Yan was seriously injured. Even if he survived, he would be a cripple. One could imagine the cruelty of star field.
Butcher Yi picked up the wine pot and took a few sips to moisten his lips and throat. He sighed, ” I won’t die for now. If you want to get a hidden mission or some high reward, you should give up. I have nothing now, only this half-rotten life.
The corner of li xiaonian’s mouth twitched. you’re going to die soon. Why are you still talking so much nonsense? I’ll go and get you a doctor.
“Don’t waste your energy. In netherworld’s new village, no one is willing to get close to me. Whoever gets close to me will be in trouble, and you are no exception. If you don’t want to be unlucky, leave immediately.”
“......”
Li xiaonian’s face darkened. He turned around and left the room. ????????????????????????d. ????????m
They went to the clinic.
Li xiaonian had just explained butcher Yan’s condition when the doctor immediately shook his head and rejected him.”I’m sorry. I can’t treat butcher Yan’s injuries. I can’t.”
“Why?” Li xiaonian was shocked.
“There’s no reason. This isn’t something a little mutant like you can interfere with. If you don’t want to be unlucky, it’s best not to get involved. There were many mutants who were involved in this matter before, but they all died. Even if they didn’t die, they were expelled from the new netherworld village.”
Expel?
Li xiaonian shivered.
Along the way, there were quite a few shadows behind him. Even though he didn’t know who they were, he was sure that they had their eyes on him. If he were to really be chased away, he would definitely die.
Could it be ... That this was a hidden mission? If I help butcher Hao, will I get a high return?
Li xiaonian thanked him.
He spent 100 domain coins in the pharmacist’s shop to buy a few healing pills and hurried back to butcher Yan’s house.
Whether he wanted to touch on this matter or not, he had to ask clearly first.
“Senior, this is a healing medicine. If you eat it, it will be more or less beneficial to your body.” Li xiaonian passed the healing pill to butcher Yan.
Butcher Yan looked at li xiaonian in surprise. He took a sip of wine, a pill, and a few more pills, and swallowed them all.
“Cough cough ...”
Li xiaonian coughed slightly and said frankly, ” “Senior, can you tell me why you’re being isolated? Although I really want to help you, I need to weigh the pros and cons. ”
Butcher Yan moved his butt to find a more comfortable position to lie down.”Actually, it’s not a secret. My son died, and in order to avenge my son, I stole the village chief’s infernal lightning. In the end, I accidentally detonated the nether lightning in the village. The nether lightning didn’t kill my enemies, but on the contrary, I destroyed half of the new netherworld village, and the casualties were countless.”
Li xiaonian was speechless. He thought for a moment, then took out the revenue from yesterday’s business and placed it in front of butcher Yan. He cupped his hands and said,”Senior, I’m angry that I can’t help you. Farewell.”
He should be punished for making such a big mistake. Now, although the villagers ‘attitude towards him was cold, they were still polite. If it were him, he would have killed butcher Hao.
Butcher Yan silently watched li xiaonian leave, not saying anything.
Unable to leave the village, li xiaonian could only head into the library in the blacksmith shop’s backyard and bury his head in the book, letting Xiaoya continue to record.
Time passed by slowly.
On the tenth day, li xiaonian had finally recorded all the books in the library.
phew ... I’m finally done.
Three years had been shortened to ten days. He was very satisfied with such efficiency.
Next, he had to see if he could officially become a blacksmith. As long as he became a blacksmith, he could continuously forge weapons and earn the difference.
Although he could not earn much by fighting alone, he could gain experience and level up by forging weapons.
In other words, even if he hid in the village, he could still level up slowly, and it was not much worse than killing monsters.
Walking out of the library, li xiaonian found master fire at the furnace in the blacksmith shop. He cupped his hands and said shamelessly, ” teacher, I’ve finished reading all the books and memorized all the contents.
Li xiaonian’s appearance didn’t surprise master Huo at all. Even though he was busy forging, he was still paying attention to what was happening in the library.
“Follow me.”
Master fire put down his work and turned to walk to the iron stand at the side. With a hook of his finger, he picked the most ordinary iron ore and threw it into the furnace.
iron ore is the most basic mineral. I’ll demonstrate it to you now. When you can get rid of all the impurities in the iron ore by yourself with the hammer, I’ll teach you how to make beginner-level weapons.
As he spoke, master fire took out the red-hot iron ore from the furnace and picked up the hammer.
Ding ...
Ding ...
Ding ding ...
......
Hammer after hammer, hammer after hammer.
Every single muscle in master Huo’s body began to move. The entire process was extremely rhythmic.
The fist-sized iron ore had turned into a thin iron sheet after more than ten thousand strikes.
The iron piece was deep in the oil pot.
~~
A pungent smoke rose, and the iron sheet revealed a silver-gray luster. It was not difficult to tell from its appearance that it was a flying knife, but it was an unopened flying knife.
He looked at the attributes.
Throwing knife
Semi-finished product
Attack: 2
[ durability: 6 ]
......
It was a very ordinary throwing knife.
“Did you see clearly?” It was rare for master Huo to ask li xiaonian.
Clear? Clear about what?
Li xiaonian was completely dumbfounded, but he still braced himself and said,”I’ve seen it clearly.”
“Very good,” he said. Master Flame forced a smile and passed the hammer to li xiaonian.”You try it.”
When the other apprentices in the blacksmith shop saw the smile on Master Flame’s face, their mouths were half-open.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“If I’m not wrong, master seemed to have smiled just now. We’ve been here for five or six years, but this is the first time I’ve seen master smile.”
ah ... You’re not seeing things. Master did smile. Perhaps, an Ying is too much of a genius, and master has high expectations of him.
tsk tsk, our Junior Brother has a very good memory. However, blacksmithing is a skill. Memory alone is useless. I bet that if Junior Brother wants to temper ironware, he will need at least a year.
“A year? That’s impossible. If he needed a year, how could master value him so much?”
......
Under everyone’s gaze, li xiaonian held the iron hammer and was about to lift it up when his body suddenly staggered and he almost fell down.
Heavy.
It was extremely heavy.
A seemingly ordinary iron hammer actually weighed no less than a thousand kilograms.
‘Pfft’
Seeing li xiaonian make a fool of himself, the apprentices watching couldn’t help but burst out in laughter.
“Hahaha ... Just like this? I thought you were a genius, but I didn’t expect you to be so weak.”
ahem ... It seems that he is indeed very weak. I take back what I said just now. With Junior brother’s condition, it is almost impossible for him to succeed in the initiation stage without two years, let alone one year.
......
Master Huo, who had been full of anticipation, saw li xiaonian’s condition. His face darkened, and his attitude changed drastically. He said coldly,”You have a good memory and a good mental strength, but you’re too weak to be a blacksmith. Learning medicine or refining medicine is your way out.”
Li xiaonian immediately became anxious. teacher, please don’t. My level is too low right now. When my level increases and my strength increases, I’ll naturally be able to lift this iron hammer.
Master fire shook his head. this hammer ... Looks ordinary. In fact, it has a magical detection ability. Being able to use it easily means that the blacksmith’s talent is higher. On the contrary, the blacksmith’s talent is weaker. Strength could be made up for, but talent was talent. Even if you forced yourself to learn, you would only be able to forge bronze weapons at most in your entire life. You’re not suitable for blacksmithing, and your talent will only be wasted if you’re on that path. Go and refine medicine. I’ll write you a letter of recommendation, and you can look for apothecary ou. I think he’ll be willing to accept you as a disciple.”
Just give up like this?
If he gave up now, he would have wasted the 10 days of learning and would not be able to use [ blacksmith’s heart ].
It was extremely difficult to find a piece of gold equipment.
Oh, right.
Suddenly, li xiaonian’s eyes lit up. He gritted his teeth and said,”Teacher, can we have a word?”
Master Huo frowned. He glanced at his side and finally agreed to li xiaonian’s request.
He entered independent forging.
“If there’s anything you want to say, you can say it now. Outsiders won’t be able to hear anything here,” said Grandmaster Huo calmly.
“Teacher, do you know Niu Dali?”
“He’s my Junior Brother. Of course I know him.” Grandmaster Huo nodded.
“......”
Li xiaonian came to a realization.
That’s right. Netherworld village was neither big nor small. They were both blacksmiths, so it was hard not to know about it.
“Teacher, I’ve obtained Niu Dali’s approval. He gave me the [ blacksmith’s heart ] and said that I have the potential to become. divine Smith. So ... Are you confused?.
“En!”
Master Huo’s eyes widened as he grabbed li xiaonian’s shoulder in excitement.”Craftsman God potential, Are you sure?”
“Niu da li said this before he died. There were quite a few people present at that time. If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask around.”
Is He Dead?
Master Huo came back to his senses and looked at li xiaonian with suspicion.
The quality of his hammer wasn’t inferior to [ blacksmith’s heart ]. It clearly detected that li xiaonian didn’t have the potential to become a blacksmith, but [ blacksmith’s heart ] actually detected that this guy had the potential to become a divine blacksmith.
Strange, it was too strange.
He didn’t think li xiaonian was lying. It was easy to find out that there was no point in lying.
