Chapter 71

: A career of iron

It took a lot of effort to move the ice in the river to the bank of the river and then break it by the white tiger. In a piece of frozen meat, I found a crystal clear round bead. Its name is indeed "Konggong War Soul", which belongs to the yellow level. Its attributes have increased by 10% water system spell, which corresponds to the yellow level "Zhurong War Soul".

Happy to put this "Konggong War Soul" into the "Qiankun Ring", we continued to move forward and constantly harvested the lives hiding in the water; of course, some Gonggong soldiers were not hiding in the water. They were standing on the shore in terms of attack and defense. It seems that they could only exert their true power in the water.

More than an hour later, I finally encountered a large island with many houses on it, but there was a large lake in the middle of the island. It seemed that this was the residence of the "Konggong Family". Faced with us, the air visitors, the Gonggong soldiers quickly responded. Many Gonggong soldiers jumped directly into the water, and some of them actually held longbows with very rough craftsmanship.

After those ordinary Gonggong soldiers jumped into the water, they did not show their heads again. It seemed that they knew they could not attack us at all. As for those archers, they held the bow with their left hand and grabbed the water with their right hand, and an ice arrow made of ice crystals was formed. Under the force of the longbow, the ice arrow shot towards us quickly, but it only rose to a height of seventy or eighty meters and started to fall, so it could not cause damage to us at all.

But this situation is not what I want to see, because the attack range of the White Tiger is only ten meters. With the intervention of the archers of the "Konggong Family", it is impossible for us to drop to that height at all. This has caused great difficulties for me, who aims to "Konggong War Soul".

What should I do? Do I really want to kill these archers first? That is my real goal - the Xuan-level "Gonggong War Soul", so this method is definitely not possible; but if I don't kill them, I can't even get the Yellow-level "Gonggong War Soul", which is really embarrassing to me.

Finally, Zuo Si thought about it again, for the sake of "Gonggong War Soul", it would be better to kill and end the battle as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible. Who knows where the leader of the tribe "Gonggong Family" who did not appear would come out? Thinking about the powerful methods of the "Zhurong Family", I still feel scared.

Since we have decided on the action policy, it is very simple to do things. The archers of the "Konggong Family" died one by one under my "shot of thousands of arrows". Unfortunately, all the equipment dropped after killing these archers sank to the bottom of the water. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why players do not come here to fight monsters.

After removing these archers, my actions went very smoothly. Although the speed was slow, those "Konggong Warriors" continued to program fragments under the cold air of the white tiger and their iron claws, contributing the "Konggong War Soul" condensed by the water-based magic power on their body.

The gains from this battle can be said to be very good. The entire "Gonggong Clan" has 171 ordinary "Gonggong Soldiers". Except for three people who accidentally died in my "Ten Thousand Arrows", all the other 168 "Gonggong Fighting Souls" were obtained.

I quickly left the "Gonggong War Spirit" because according to my estimate, after all my tribe members were killed by me, the "Gonggong" would definitely leave my place to take revenge. I don't want to experience the death feeling that "Zhurong" gave me again.

So, I asked Xiaobai to fly back to Xuanyuan City directly, and then took the luxury carriage of the "Carriage" back to Pangu City. This time, my mission to Xuanyuan City was completed. Not only did I kill "Ya Qinglong" and avenge the last time, I also got 168 "Konggong War Souls", which can be said to be a great harvest.

Also, the remaining part of the dragon pill is turned into a "dragon ball". Although it is only about one-third of the original dragon pill, I know that as long as this dragon ball is embedded in my "Fire Dragon Battle Boots", my speed will be greatly improved. After all, the dragon ball contains a large amount of wind-type magic power. This is exactly what my master in District Yezi District is good at.

However, when I went to see this "Dragon Ball", I just glanced at it and said casually: "Let it be there." I pointed to the only ragged table in the blacksmith shop.

After getting a big "Du Kang", he turned to me and said, "Disciple, did you successfully kill that 'Asia Qinglong' this time?"

I nodded and replied "Yes". But I said in my heart: Nonsense, otherwise where did the dragon ball come from?

"So, did you mean that you also got 'many' dragon meat?" The old man specifically emphasized "many" when he asked. Could it be that the old guy is so wise that he knows so clearly?

"So, should you be filial to you who have made great contributions?" You are indeed "profits of great contributions", but you don't have to say it so obviously and seriously, as if I was very stingy. It seems that the temptation of dragon meat is not ordinary!

"Of course, but, this time, when I was using the 'Dragon Trap', I found that those 'Soul Beads' were easily destroyed by 'Asian Qinglong'. I wonder what's going on?" Since that's the case, I'll blackmail you.

"Well--" touched his chin and his eyes flashed: "That's right. Although those 'soul beads' have powerful energy, they may destroy the internal structure under the action of external forces, so they are easily destroyed. Last time, I forgot to tell you this, it's really my fault. So, I will teach you another formation that can ensure that the 'soul beads' are not damaged by external forces. Disciple, what do you think?"

I laughed in my heart. It turned out that it was just a fraud to cheat the old guy. But I actually said it was really as I had said casually. The internal structure of the "soul bead" was instability due to the storage of energy, just like the kind of bomb in the real world. Now that I have learned a formation, I am of course happy in my heart, because before that, I have said that I will not teach me other formations again.

After more than 20 minutes of teaching and learning, I finally roughly mastered the formation called "Vajra Formation". This "Vajra Formation" has nothing else to do, but as long as it is an item placed in the array, its hardness will be greatly improved. According to the saying, as long as the "soul bead" is placed in the "Vajra Formation" for a long time, the "Vajra Formation" will slowly change the structure of the "soul bead" so that it is not easy to be destroyed by external forces.

At this time, an idea emerged. Since the "Vajra Formation" can make the "soul bead" hard and not easily destroyed, what about other things? If weapons and equipment are put into the "Vajra Formation", then the "Vajra Formation" should also strengthen the hardness of those weapons and equipment, which means that I have found a new way to strengthen weapons and equipment. Thinking of this, my eyes are full of "¥¥".

"Advisor, disciple!" He shouted loudly in my ear. Seeing that I finally came to my senses, he continued: "A few days ago, disciple, you need to hunt 'A Qinglong', so your master has not taught you the skill of making swords. Now that the first of the "A Qinglong" has been awarded, you should also learn the skill of making swords as your master."

When I heard that I wanted to teach me the "Sword Forging Art", I remembered that this was originally a master of sword forging. Although the previous "formation" was taught to me just to calm my heart, in fact, as soon as I came into contact with this aspect of knowledge, I fell in love with formations, especially the mysterious function, which is not comparable to simple magic.

Therefore, compared with the mysterious formation, our master’s “sword-making art” is not in my heart. Although he has repeatedly promised to ensure that I can become a “high-level blacksmith” within a month, I still have no idea. After all, the profession of blacksmith is not something you can learn by simply teaching it, but requires continuous practice and practice to obtain skills.

Now I want to learn his masterpiece. Although I am reluctant, I still have to agree. After all, he is not able to offend him casually. I obediently followed him to the stove and listened to his explanation to the fire: "Different ores have different melting points, so the appropriate temperature is something that we blacksmiths must master. Some ores have very high melting points, such as the tungsten ore and manganese ore; some have very low melting points..."

It feels like taking a chemistry class in high school. The knowledge that was about to forget the light was mentioned like this and immediately appeared. Combined with what I said, I had a very thorough understanding of the basic knowledge of these blacksmiths.

Seeing that I had basically understood the knowledge of the heat and ore melting point, I then said: "If you know these, you can make a blacksmith. So in the next ten days, you will have to make a blacksmith with me without distractions, do you know?"

Ten days, just making a blacksmith here? Isn’t it a waste of time!

"Then I won't fight monsters?" I kept muttering.

"Fight monsters? Those monsters won't run away, what are you worried about!" He glared at me fiercely and said, "As long as you learn this 'sword-making art' from me, you can guarantee that you will go all over the world!" When he spoke, his face showed an arrogant look like "Who else is the best in the world?" However, to be honest, it really has a little bit of a strong man.

However, this feeling was immediately destroyed by the following words: "By the way, don't forget that you are fully responsible for the meals for these ten days. I hope you can eat fresh and delicious dragon meat for three meals, no, and four meals a day. Can you make it?" The eyes were staring at me with bright eyes, and the flashing cold light in my eyes seemed to tell me, "If you can't do it, you will look good."

"Of course, don't worry." He replied with a smile on his face. But he thought to himself, come on, it's still fresh! No matter how hard these dragon meats are, they are frozen products, and they are definitely not as good as fresh.

I was very satisfied with my "clenched eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes" look. I gave me a huge iron hammer and pointed to the ores on the edge of the stove and said, "Before the sky is not dark, you can practice well, be familiar with the feeling of ironwork. Today, I will make all these ores into iron embryos, right?"

I didn't say anything, nodded, feeling a big hammer that was probably fifty or sixty pounds in my hand, and I thought to myself that since I came, I would be at ease. Anyway, I would just treat this as a killer of "Asian Qinglong".

When I thought of "Asian Qinglong", I almost forgot that the experience I got from it before made me successfully upgraded to one level, and the current level is 37 (3%); the attributes have been increased by five points, strength + 2, agility + 2, and physical strength + 1, so now my three basic attributes have become "Life: 1260, Attack: 112, Defense: 75, Speed: 99". Plus the additional attributes of the equipment "Defense + 149, Speed ​​+ 12", I can definitely compare with those high-defense warriors in defense.

Let’s look at the skills of the hunter, “trap technique”, “division technique”, “archery technique”, doctor’s skills “alignment technique”, “collective technique”, “barbecue technique” and “basic sword technique” all reached the bottleneck state of “advanced, proficiency degree 99/100”. Doctor skills and chef skills are not required to worry about them, but hunter skills and swordsman skills are the directions I need to break through urgently.

As for the recently learned formation master skill - formation, because I learned several advanced formations, my experience increased exponentially, and I suddenly reached the advanced state (proficiency level 13/100), and there is still a lot of room for growth; in terms of internal strength and mental methods, the "Seven Star Mantis Heart Sutra" is currently only primary (proficiency level 92/100). I believe that by the time of intermediate level, my internal strength will also reach 30 points, and that is the time to break through "archery".

But now, I can only pour the scorching iron into the mold, use iron pliers to place the uncooled iron block on the iron turtle, carefully wave the hammer in my hand and constantly hit it, first hitting it into a thin layer, then folding it, then hitting it into a thin sheet again, and then folding... This repeated boring movement is repeated over and over again. At the same time, I also need to control the force carefully, because if you accidentally use excessive force, you will splash the sparks in the process of hitting; these sparks are very hot, and it is an absolute pain to splash on people.

After I tasted the bitterness of Mars, I gave me a liquid called "temperature oil" and applied to various parts of my body. This name looks like something like kerosene that burns whenever it is burned; but in fact, this liquid that looks very similar to kerosene in both name and appearance, and even smells, will not only not catch fire after being applied to the body, but will reduce the temperature of the human body and give people a cool feeling. Even if Mars splashes on the body, it only makes people feel a little hot.

With this "spot oil", I was relieved and the action of hitting the iron embryo was quicker. But I was very annoyed by this action. I obviously wanted to see my joke. However, I was burned by Mars so much and I didn't take it out until now. It was really hateful. So I treated the iron embryo under the hammer as our Master District, and in a daze, it seemed as if I had endless energy on my body.

After hitting the iron on this day, my whole body was sore, especially my arms. Because my left arm was not moving for a long time and I clamped the iron embryo with force, I felt numb. Even if I moved later, I could not eliminate the numbness. As for the right arm, it was loaded with a lot of knocking work, and the entire right arm muscle was in a highly hypoxic state, and now I could not move at all. In the past, even if I shot arrows for several hours in a row, I would not have reached this point.

With this extreme fatigue, soreness and numbness, and all kinds of unexplained feelings, I got off the line.

After I went online again, in addition to cooking, eating and practicing internal skills, I spent all my time on the greatest cause in the world, which is said to be the greatest cause in the world. At that time, I said: "Can people's lives now be separated from metal products?" I shook my head.

"Can metal products be manufactured without blacksmiths?" Shaking his head.

"Can the blacksmith's job be separated from 'irons'?" Still shook his head.

"So, people's lives cannot be separated from 'blacks' and 'irons', right?" nodded.

"Since you can't leave the 'iron', then some people must be required to do this great job that affects the lives of the people, right?" Nodded again.

"And you are the candidate I chose to engage in the greatest cause in the world!"

After saying this, I patted my shoulder seriously, gave me an encouraging look, and then walked to the side, sat on the backrest chair and poured it on "Du Kang". From time to time, I grabbed a piece of dragon meat with his calloused right hand and threw it into my mouth. I smacked it and chewed it all, as if I was deliberately angering me. You must know that in the past few days, except for the first day of eating dragon meat, my meals were all cooked food I bought on the street for the next nine days, because the taste of dragon meat was so delicious. The old guy immediately nationalized all the frozen dragon meat that he had originally lying in my "Qiankun Ring", which was not to implement the "public ownership system", and the typical "use power for personal gain."

After ten days, I thought I could finally relax. Now my iron-smashing skills are definitely compared to those veteran blacksmith players, because all the ores I used in the past few days were the best ore stolen from the "Bul Demon King", and the experience of iron-smashing has increased. But in my opinion, it is a completely cost-effective thing, because "iron-smashing" may not be able to be completely successful. My current advanced (proficiency level 9/100) skills and experience are accumulated on countless failed items.

If I were myself, I would never do this, because according to my conservative estimates, selling these failed ores is more than enough to sell millions of gold coins. I wouldn't bear to spend such a great price to learn the most basic skills of the blacksmith "iron-smashing". Unfortunately, the master here is the master of the old man, and he says whatever he says.

Ten days have passed, but when I asked to ask that I want to go out, the old guy rolled his eyes and said, "What has arrived? Apart from the time you went offline, it has only been six days now, and the 'iron' has to continue."

It turns out that the "ten days" mentioned by the old guy is the time to "smash the iron", not the ten days on the calendar. While cursing the old guy in his heart, I suddenly realized in my heart that the guarantee of "becoming a senior blacksmith in one month" also has a lot of water. But now is there any reason to resist? In addition, I have practiced for these ten days, and I have gained a lot. Not only has the "smash" to the advanced level, but the strength and physical strength increased by 3 points and 2 points respectively, which is equivalent to the maximum attribute value brought by upgrading to level. Why not do it?!

Build your head and make a fool of yourself!

Seven days later, I finally completed the "ten days" iron-making career that the old guy said. The most obvious change is that my hands have increased a lot, my arms are obviously bigger, and my muscles are even tighter. When I was pressed against my upper body, I had the standard body shape of a bodybuilder, and the shiny "spot oil" made me look extremely similar.

In the next seven days, after adding two points to my strength and one point to my physical strength, the attributes stopped changing. It seems that even if I exercise for a long time, the attributes will be limited, just like I reached a bottleneck state; and the internal force finally got over thirty points as I wished, reaching thirty points. At the same time, during these seven days, I found that if the fire-type mana power was injected into the iron embryo, the iron embryo would delay the cooling rate, which means that I could increase the number of knocks before the iron embryo cooled.

You should know that the more times the iron embryo is heated and burned red after cooling, the easier it is to corrupt the quality of the iron embryo. Of course, the same is true for other metals. So a real blacksmith is like mine. The famous sword-casting master, the old man, who made iron without heating at all, was completely done in just one time. Every knock was just right, and the speed in his hand was extremely fast. Before the iron embryo was cooled, he could achieve the purpose of "hundred refining".

But I couldn't do it anymore. At the beginning, I heated it for more than twenty times before I completed the "Hundred Refinings". The iron embryo was even denser here and there, completely losing the sense of balance, so I scrapped a lot at the beginning. Later, the speed of iron punching increased, and now I heated it about three times to complete the "Hundred Refinings"; the fine density has also been greatly improved. The entire iron embryo was very evenly light and heavy, so it was perfect for making equipment.

On the 13th day of the 10th day of the world calendar, after completing his ten-day ironworking career, I finally gave me a day off so that I could go back to Longhuxuan. After leaving the "iron shop", I exhaled heavily. Really, I spent seventeen days in the small "iron shop" and kept making irons. I missed a lot of things.

The "jewelry auction" hosted by Zhang San has ended. When he was hitting the iron, someone urged me to get the money by sending a letter from him. Kongkonger wrote that he had caught the president of the "Demon Dragon Society". He originally wanted to bring him to see me, but this kid actually committed suicide and lost 50% of his experience directly. It was really cruel.

Back at "Longhuxuan", Xiaobai and Baihu came up. Under the care of Xiaolong and others, these two guys ate and slept well every day, and were as happy as gods. Xiaolong simply reported his recent income situation, among which the "Calling Rental" business is very good. So far, the more than 70 wild boars and a few elks have earned more than 90,000 gold coins in just one month.

Although this number is not very attractive compared to selling equipment, it is a long-term business. In the game, 90,000 gold coins per month, and 270,000 in three months. In other words, in reality, I can get more than 20,000 yuan in a month, which is even more glorious than those white-collar workers. Moreover, the number of wild boars and elks can be increased. Even if the rental price drops in the future, it is still a very considerable number.

After explaining some things to Xiaolong and Xiaohu, I put some of the equipment on my body after winning the bid at the store, and left "Longhuxuan" and rushed to the next target - Tianxia Auction House.

Of course, Zhang San was indescribable to be happy about my arrival, because the previous "jewelry auction" was very popular, and my five "night pearls" and crystal jewelry were sold at very good prices. The former was sold at an average price of 1.9 million gold coins per piece; the latter was sold at an average price of 16,000 gold coins per piece, and the three crystal rings were sold at an average price of 8,500 gold coins per piece.

So in this auction, I made a total of more than 9.57 million gold coins, and after excluding the handling fee, I also made more than 9 million. I made a fortune again! Thinking about the twenty-five "night pearls" left in the "Longhu Xuan", I was happy. That was more than 50 million gold coins! It was equivalent to more than 4 million yuan. I once again realized the extraordinary charm of the online game "Battle the World".

Zhang San was also happy. This time, the "jewelry auction" not only increased his prize money a lot, but also greatly appreciated the leaders above, because the performance of Pangucheng's "Tianxia Auction House" has always been ranked first in the Eastern Continent, and the company's upper class even intended to let him replace the city lord of Fuxi City, who had not performed well.

But unexpectedly, this guy refused.

When asked why, he said for granted: "I was so successful, it was completely inseparable from Brother Mo Shui's help. So I also knew that if I left Pangu City, I would not necessarily do better than others, especially managing a city with millions of players, which is not my specialty. So, I still want to stay in Pangu City and continue to cooperate with Brother Mo Shui. This is my value. Now I realize how ridiculous my previous thoughts are. Even in such a position, I can still exude my own brilliance."

Listening to Zhang San's serious "declaration", I sighed in my heart that this guy is really self-aware and also cunning. If he takes the role of the city lord, he will do well, as for his grades in Pangu City, it should be like this; but if he doesn't do well, it will be a big problem. Perhaps even his grades in Pangu City will be denied.

Therefore, "rejection" is Zhang San's best choice.
Chapter completed!
