Chapter 298: The charm of a top-tier blacksmith
Translator: 549690339
“Young master, where did you find such a weirdo, an advanced blacksmith? I think he’s a liar.” Master tuoke didn’t care about li xiaonian’s face at all and openly mocked him.
Yu Qing furrowed her brows and stared at li xiaonian. She questioned,”Are you sure you’re not joking?”
“We’ll know if it’s true or not with just one look,” li xiaonian said while rubbing his nose. Pausing for a moment, li xiaonian then randomly said,”As for my hammer, I lost it in an accident.”
Yu Qing nodded and gestured to master tuoke, ” “Lend him your iron hammer.”
Master tuoke pulled a long face and took out a black iron hammer. He passed it to li xiaonian and warned, ” “If you accidentally break my hammer, you’ll get it. Also, you don’t understand blacksmiths at all. It’s not your own hammer, so you’ll need a long time to get used to it. Today, if you can make a silver weapon, I’ll write my name backward.”
The last part of his sentence was obviously meant for Yuqing. He was sure that the young man in front of him was a liar.
“Thanks.” Li xiaonian took the iron hammer with a smile.
Black wind hammer
Blacksmith exclusive equipment
Level:
[ grade: gold ]
Attack: 1
[ attribute: swing like the wind, swing an iron hammer, reduce stamina consumption by 20%. ]
[ durability: 325/1000 ]
......
It was a very good iron hammer, with a total durability of 1000. It was the hardest tool li xiaonian had ever seen, apart from the Thunder staff.
The lightning rod’s durability was endless and indestructible. Just this point alone made it priceless. It was unlike master tuoke’s iron hammer. Although it was a gold artifact, its durability was limited. After using it for a long time, it would still need a lot of energy and money to repair it.
“Xiaoya, there’s no problem, right?” li xiaonian asked with his mind.
Xiaoya controlled li xiaonian’s body and weighed it in her hands.”It’s a little heavy, but it doesn’t affect me.”
“In that case, let’s begin.”
Li xiaonian took out the materials needed to forge the [ soul-cleaving saber ], relaxed his body, and let Xiao Ya control it.
Ding ...
As he was still getting used to the first strike, the position of the hammer was very rough, just like the first time a newbie touched it.
Ding ...
Ding ...
Ding ...
......
Hammer after hammer, master tuoke tempered the Mithril on the table. At first, he looked down on the Mithril, but his expression gradually turned serious. In the end, his face was filled with shock.
Yu Qing noticed his expression and asked in a relaxed manner, ” “Have you reached the advanced blacksmith level?”
The layman watched the show, while the expert watched the door.
Master tuoke’s face was full of bitterness as he replied, ” he is the strongest blacksmith I have ever seen. The gap between us is like heaven and earth. Even master Huo long is far inferior to him. To put it bluntly, although master Huo long is also an advanced blacksmith, he is not worth mentioning compared to master shadow.
“......”
Yu Qing’s mouth twitched.
It was uncomfortable, too uncomfortable. A living top-tier advanced blacksmith was right in front of him, and he was a wild one at that. If he could successfully rope in Tianzhi port, it would not take long for the influence and combat power of Tianzhi port to be greatly improved.
Unfortunately, the dark shadow needed a Star Lord. Although heaven’s knowledge port was powerful, it was definitely not comparable to a Star Lord.
Time passed by slowly.
Xiao Ya controlled the iron hammer and struck it accurately. Li xiaonian opened his third eye in front of Yu Qing and master tuoke and injected his soul power into the weapon.
Feeling li xiaonian’s surging soul power, Yu Qing felt even more uncomfortable.
Even though she didn’t know how to forge weapons, she knew that li xiaonian was forging a weapon related to the soul. This type of weapon was one in a million.
Most blacksmiths only had blacksmith skills, but very few of them had substantial soul power. As for forging soul weapons, it was even more of a dream.
“Even if we can’t win him over, we still have to build a good relationship.” Yu Qing made up her mind.
It had been almost a day.
Ding ...
The system said, ” you’ve successfully forged [ soul-cleaving saber ]. Level and experience +100.
[ level 31 Soul Breaker blade ]
[ grade: silver (fine) ]
[ attack: 93 – 108 ]
Attributes:
Strength +3, spirit +3
Skills:
[ Soul Break ]: passive skill. Attacks the target, ignoring the target’s defense and causing 31 soul damage. 40% chance to tear the target’s soul apart. 30 damage per second, lasts for 15 seconds.
“......”
Li xiaonian was speechless. He sighed tiredly.”It’s a pity,”
Master tuoke thought that li xiaonian’s equipment was only a low-level silver grade, but he still said with admiration, ” Shadow Master, you ... You’re really strong. You can still forge silver equipment with a new hammer. You’re definitely an advanced blacksmith. There’s no doubt about that.
At this moment, master tuoke no longer looked at li xiaonian with disdain and doubt. Instead, he looked at li xiaonian with admiration.
“Oh.”
Li xiaonian replied indifferently and threw the weapon to Yu Qing. “Lady Yu Qing, please appraise it.”
Yu Qing lowered her head to check her attributes.
Master tuoke also craned his neck to observe.
“Premium ... Premium quality?” Master tuoke’s throat was dry and itchy, and he was so stunned that he couldn’t say anything.
Yu Qing was first shocked, then aggrieved.
The powerful attributes of a soul-type weapon could ignore defense and deal 450 points of damage to the target. Such a weapon was no longer as simple as a silver-grade equipment.
What was frustrating was that it was clearly a premium-grade item, yet he was still mumbling ‘what a pity’. He was simply taking advantage of her and still acting innocent.
Yu Qing checked the spirit cleaving blade again and again, memorizing its attributes in her heart. Only then did she return the spirit cleaving blade to li xiaonian with a reluctant expression.”Your Excellency shadow, this weapon is already a high-quality one. Why do you say it’s a pity?”
Master tuoke nodded. He also wanted to know the answer.
Li xiaonian put away his [ soul-cleaving blade ] and took out a dagger from his bag, handing it to Yu Qing. apart from the four grades of equipment-low, medium, high, and fine-there’s also an attribute [ super fine ].
“......”
“......”
Yu Qing and master tuo ke were dumbfounded.
One was the young master of Tianzhi port, and the other was an intermediate blacksmith. Neither of them had ever heard of an equipment grade called [ ultra fine ]. However, the truth was right in front of their eyes.
[ level 31 sharp dagger ]
[ rarity: normal (ultra high-quality) ]
[ attack: 46 ]
[ durability: 500/500 ]
......
A normal level 31 dagger with 46 damage. How could this be considered normal equipment? it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was bronze equipment.
Li xiaonian looked at their reactions and was secretly delighted. However, he still put on a nonchalant expression.”Only when the material’s characteristics are fully utilized can the [ super quality ] attribute be created. Although the spirit cleaving knife I just forged is also a fine grade, it’s still far from being a [ super fine grade ].”
Master tuoke suddenly thought of something. He stared at li xiaonian with a burning gaze.”Master of Shadows, can you take me as your disciple?”
Li xiaonian was shocked. He shook his head and smiled. master tuoke, you don’t have to do this. If there’s any problem, we can just help each other.
However, master tuoke said with a serious face, ” the best comes first. You can just call me tuo ke. I want to follow you and learn smithing skills. Please help me, Shadow Master.
As he spoke, tuo ke actually wanted to perform the master-disciple salute.
Yu Qing was the first to react. She said hurriedly,”No,” Realizing that her tone was a little harsh, Yu Qing quickly explained, ” “Master tuoke, I don’t mean anything else. I just want to say that heaven-knowing port can’t live without you.”
She realized that she had underestimated the power of an advanced blacksmith. Damn it, they had only met once, and she was already trying to abduct an intermediate blacksmith from Tianzhi port.
If shadow were to make a public announcement, he would be able to recruit a large number of intermediate blacksmiths to serve him.
Tuo ke was instantly upset. young master Yuqing, we had an agreement before. I’m not selling myself to Tianzhi port, I’m just working for you. You said it before, I can leave whenever I want.
Yu Qing was speechless.
Li xiaonian could tell that Yu Qing was in a difficult position, so he stood up and said, ” “Master tuoke, I don’t accept disciples, but we can add each other as friends. If there are any problems, we can help each other.”
He was very polite with his words, but in his heart, he was ridiculing. Even if I’m going to take in a disciple, I can’t take in a short man like you. You looked down on me from the start. Do you really think I don’t have a temper?
Shadow Master! tuo ke was immediately anxious. Shadow Master, I can pay the tuition fee. Furthermore, all the equipment I forge during my time with you will be yours.
Tuition fees? And he could even get free high-level labor?
Li xiaonian was a little tempted, but when he felt Yu Qing’s murderous gaze, he couldn’t help but shiver. He refused righteously, I won’t take him in. If I take him in, it will affect my energy and cause me to stop on my path as a blacksmith. You should know that for me to have my strength today, talent is only secondary, but it can not be separated from my hard work. I have been pondering on how to improve my blacksmith Skills day and night, forging equipment day and night, and spending more than 100 years to achieve what I have today.
Now that he was asking Yuqing for help, who knew what the consequences would be if he kidnapped tuoke? It wasn’t worth it to get himself into trouble for an intermediate blacksmith.
Yu Qing secretly rolled her eyes at li xiaonian. More than a hundred years of hard work? You’re no older than 30. Who are you trying to fool?
Of course, she would never say this out loud. Instead, she gently advised, ” “Master tuoke, master an Ying also said that if you have any questions, you can ask him in private. There’s no need to acknowledge him as your master. In addition to talent, blacksmith skills can not be separated from hard work and the supply of various resources. How about this, from now on, Tianzhi port will double the supply of materials for you, so that you can train your blacksmith skills and advance to advanced blacksmith as soon as possible.”
Tuo ke was slightly disappointed, but he still nodded and extended three fingers. three times. I need three times the amount of materials.
Yu Qing was conflicted. She gritted her teeth. fine, three times it is. For your sake, Tianzhi port will go all out.
Li xiaonian couldn’t help but complain when he saw the two of them echoing each other.
The blacksmith tuoke was a fool. The more he forged, the more Tianzhi port would earn. Did he really think that he had gained a huge advantage? It was a good thing that he did not accept him as a disciple. Otherwise, with such a fool by his side, he would not know when he was cheated, and he would have to clean up his mess.
He sent tuo ke away.
Li xiaonian followed Yu Qing back to the exchange room.
Yu Qing was preparing the agreement as she asked curiously,”Your Excellency shadow, can you tell us why the star Lord is needed?”
“It’s a secret. I can’t tell you.” Li xiaonian refused to answer.
The fewer people knew about Earth’s existence, the better. In particular, the other party was an information company that specialized in selling information. If earth was targeted by some forces, it would be troublesome.
“You’re looking for the star Lord because you want him to help you deal with some trouble. Our Tianzhi port is powerful and can help you solve any problem.” Our request is very simple. You just need to be a guest elder of our Tianzhi port. We will not impose any restrictions on you. On the contrary, we will provide you with a lot of useful information and precious materials.”
After a pause, Yu Qing continued,”To put it bluntly, what kind of person is the star Lord? although you’re a top-notch blacksmith, you’re still insignificant in the star Lord’s eyes. If you join the star Lord, the restrictions you’ll face will definitely not be low.”
“Of course I know,” li xiaonian forced a smile,”but the matter I need to deal with has to be the star Lord’s.”
“Alright,” he said.
Yu Qing sighed and passed the contract to li xiaonian. “Take a look at this agreement. If there’s no problem, you can just sign your name on it. After signing the agreement, we will immediately help you inform the Half Moon Star Lord. As for how long it will take, we can’t guarantee it. After all, a Star Lord can go into seclusion for decades or even centuries. If you can’t get in touch with him, we’ll send you the information. As for the cost, we’ll still charge you at the original price. After all, we’ve spent a lot of connections in the whole process.”
Li xiaonian carefully read through the contents of the agreement.
This was related to a debt of 150 million Yuan, so he had to be careful.
Twenty minutes later, li xiaonian passed the agreement to the other party. I would like to add one more thing. Within three days, if you still can’t contact the star Master, you have to give me feedback and let me know part of the Half Moon Star master’s schedule. The so-called schedule means that the Half Moon Star Master is busy, is in closed-door cultivation, or is unwilling to see me.
“Sure.”
Yu Qing added the content of the agreement on the spot.
He confirmed again.
Li xiaonian found another problem and said awkwardly, ” “150 million in debt, the interest is not clear here.”
Yu Qing rolled her eyes at li xiaonian and wrote ‘no breathing’.
“Good, straightforward.”
Li xiaonian signed his name,’shadow’.
Ding ...
The system replied,’you have successfully signed an agreement with Tianzhi port. Three years. (Note: the system guarantee fee this time: 1.5 million domain coins have been paid.”
Hearing the words ” 1.5 million “, li xiaonian felt a pang of pain in his heart. It should be known that the wool was still there, which was equivalent to overdrawing his own money in advance.
Within three years, if li xiaonian did not return the money on time, or if Tianzhi port did not provide li xiaonian’s identity (top-tier blacksmith) to the star Lord, they would be severely punished.
“Happy cooperation.”
After closing a deal worth over a hundred million, Yu Qing’s mood became extremely joyful.
I’m not happy at all. I’m in huge debt now. Li xiaonian couldn’t help but complain, but he still shook hands with Yu Qing.
Lord Shadow, you are a top-tier blacksmith. Making money is as easy as drinking water for you. Although you don’t have money now, it doesn’t mean you won’t have money forever.
Li xiaonian’s heart skipped a beat. lady Yuqing, why don’t you be a good person to the end? lend me 10 million domain coins? ”
He needed money, a lot of money.
As long as he had enough territory coins, he could buy items to materialize items from star field in the real world.
The materialization of items was one of the charms of star field. However, it required the corresponding items and a large amount of territory coins.
The higher the level of the item, the more expensive it would be to materialize. He did not need top-level items, only items that could deal with level five biochemical beasts. An additional life-saving item would ensure his safety.
