Chinese Martial Soul Online Game

Chapter 8 Initial Forging

When Tigerstar returned to the Novice Village, the newcomers looked at him like a monster. There was more jealousy and envy in their eyes. Because he was wearing a piece of equipment now and walking among the players, he seemed to stand out from the crowd. Tigerstar looked at him like a monster.

Xing couldn't understand why there were so many newcomers after the game started for more than a month.

Tigerstar quickly walked into the weapons store and shouted, "Uncle Ouyang, I'm back."

"Haha, it's Tiger Star! How did you find the Black Iron Stone?" Ouyang Yelian looked at Tiger Star in surprise.

Tigerstar shook his head, and Ouyang Yelian's expression softened and he said, "You can't rush this matter. It's also a good thing for you. Work hard. If you don't even have this patience, how can you be a good blacksmith?"

Tigerstar did not speak and listened quietly. Tigerstar brought the piece of sunken ore that had just exploded to Ouyang Yelian and said, "Uncle Ouyang, please help me take a look at this piece of ore. I can't see its properties.

"

Ouyang Yeliang was stunned when he saw the ore and said, "How could you possibly dig this?" In order to verify his idea, Ouyang Yelian took the ore, looked at it carefully and sighed: "Yes, this is what I want.

Black Iron Stone, I wonder where you dug it out from, Tiger Star? With your current mining level, you shouldn’t be able to dig it out?”

When Tigerstar heard that it was Black Iron, he felt excited and said, "Uncle Ouyang didn't dig that. I entered the second floor of the mine and killed the boss and exploded it."

"Oh, that's it! God's will is such." Uncle Ouyang finished.

Tigerstar heard the system prompt: "Ouyang Yelian teaches you the blacksmithing technique, do you want to learn it?"

"Study," Tigerstar replied.

The system prompts: "Congratulations Tiger Star, you have learned the blacksmithing technique. You are a beginner in blacksmithing."

"Haha, you don't have to dig anymore from now on. I think the mines you dug are enough for you to practice. From now on, you will be my disciple." Ouyang Yelian said.

"Thank you, Master." Tigerstar said.

Uncle Ouyang suddenly interjected: "Don't be too busy thanking me. I can only teach you advanced blacksmithing skills here. The following period will also be regarded as a test for you. If you are not ideal, I will treat you as my apprentice."

Then don't blame the master for being ruthless."

"Apprentice will definitely work hard." Tigerstar said, but immediately asked: "Master, you said before that you can only teach me advanced blacksmithing skills. Why is this?"

Ouyang Yelian looked into Tiger Star's eyes without saying anything. Tigerstar dared to look at Ouyang Yelian at first, but lowered his head less than a minute later. Ouyang Yelian sighed and said: "Tigerstar, in your current situation,

You are really not suitable for the forging industry. Your heart is dead and your eyes are empty. How can a person with dead heart and dead eyes forge a living thing? Others think that our forging is nothing more than burning rock furnaces and smashing pieces of iron.

But is it really so? No. Blacksmithing is an art, a knowledge, and a kind of recuperation. It is not difficult to reach a high level in your current situation. It is nothing more than wasting some iron ore and accumulating some experience. You will never be able to understand the power of forging.

Truth, kid, you are still young, you should let go of everything." Tigerstar stood there dumbly without speaking, like a soulless corpse. When he woke up, it was already dark. Tigerstar murmured:

"It's so easy to let go, why should I carry a life-saving umbrella of pain on my back."

Tigerstar walked into the inner room, and a wave of heat hit his face, making his face flush. The sound of "ding-ding-ding" kept coming from inside, very rhythmic. Tigerstar looked at each of Ouyang Lianlian's words.

Step by step, a rough step-by-step diagram of forging was formed in my mind overnight.

As the sky gradually grew brighter, Ouyang Yeliang walked up to Tigerstar and said, "Today I will teach you how to pick up the smelting ore. You have to take care of it." After saying that, he walked towards the furnace with a few pieces of ordinary iron ore, and Tigerstar followed.

Finally, Ouyang Smelting put the ore into Tiger Star's hand and jumped down next to the stove. He said in a loud voice: "Whether you are smelting ore or refining metal, you must control the heat." After saying that, he pulled the bellows and started to heat.

The flames flew out of the stove like fireworks and were extremely beautiful. Tigerstar watched the fire carefully.

"It's time to watch the heat. Put the ore in your hand into it." Ouyang Smelting taught step by step. Tigerstar carefully put the four pieces of ore into the furnace. Half an hour later, all the ore had changed.

Everything began to melt slowly, turning into red mucus layer by layer, sinking to the bottom of the furnace. At this time, Ouyang Yelian suddenly increased the fire to the maximum. Ouyang Yelian jumped out of the stove and took out a stick from the wall next to it.

The long-armed spoon slowly stirred and said: "Stirring slowly can make the ore more easily refining, and the impurities in it can better float to the upper layer of the delicate metal." As soon as he finished speaking, it turned out to be red.

Dark impurities appeared on the molten iron. Ouyang Smelting fished out the impurities bit by bit, and continued to stir and fish out the impurities in the following steps.

"There are many methods of forging. This is also a precious cultural wealth of China. Now I will teach you the simplest pouring method." After Ouyang Yelian finished speaking, he looked at the molten iron in the furnace, nodded, and walked inside.

Taking out a large knife mold, he opened the mold, carefully wiped the uneven surface with a small cloth and said: "This is a large knife mold. The dust and mist inside must be cleaned before each filling. This is also

This is what we call the pursuit of perfection in forging." When the cleaning was completed, Ouyang Yelian took out a pair of very long black pliers, clamped the boiling furnace, and walked towards the mold. At this time, Tigerstar saw that there was something on the handle of the big knife mold.

A small hole turned out to be the entrance for pouring molten iron. Ouyang Smelting carefully poured the molten iron into it. When he saw the molten iron overflowing from the small hole, he stopped and said: "At this moment, we must pay attention to the uniformity of the molten iron. It also matters.

to the premise of whether it is possible to build a complete broadsword.”

Time passed minute by minute, and once the cooling time was up, Ouyang Yelian opened the mold, and a white sword appeared in front of Tiger Star. Ouyang carefully took it out of the mold, looked at the surface carefully and nodded.

Tiger Star said: "This is just a small step towards success. There will be polishing, consecration and other steps next. You have to keep an eye on it."

Ouyang took out a big knife that looked like a large knife, walked towards the stove, and threw the big knife into it. Slowly, the big knife turned red again. Ouyang took out the big knife with long-arm pliers and started to beat it carefully. He said at the same time: "Knocking is also a process.

In this art, you can't use too much force or too little force. If the force is too big, it will be deformed, and if it is too small, it will be ineffective. Use even force and look carefully at the front and back." Ouyang said, weighing the big knife from time to time to see if the blades of the big knife are enough.

Take a look at whether the front and back of the sword are flat. Ouyang said again: "Don't underestimate these small movements, they all completely affect the quality of your forged weapons. If you go against your will and your forged objects, I think you will never

They are all failed forgers." Ouyang Yelian looked at the enchanted Earth Tiger Star and nodded with satisfaction: "If you think forging is that simple, I think you are really wrong. Now while the heat of the sword is still there, you want to improve it.

Regarding the quality of the knife, you can sprinkle precious metal powder on the knife body, and it will produce unexpected effects, such as black iron, mithril, rock essence, gold and green, etc. This also proves the saying that if it is too strong, it will be easy.

Folding, it does not mean that the purer the mineral, the more powerful the weapon can be forged, so paying attention to the ingredients is also a profound knowledge."

An hour later, the broadsword became more and more stylish, and the uneven blade became smooth and shiny. Ouyang Yelian put the broadsword into the water with satisfaction, only to hear a "plop" sound, and the true face of the broadsword was revealed, with a cold light.

It's sparkling and air-conditioned.

Tigerstar nodded, looking like he was being taught. Ouyang Yelian walked over and said, "That's it for today. You practice first. Once you are proficient, I will teach you more advanced forging methods."

"Thank you, Master." After Tigerstar said this, Ouyang Yelian had already walked to the front room.

For the next three weeks, Tigerstar spent 24 hours a day next to the furnace, forging non-stop. Although all the forgings failed in the first week, he did not give up until he forged an attack weapon two weeks later.

The 1-3 knives gave him hope, and he forged harder in the future. He did not use those gold or silver mines, he thought of using them when his forging skills were better. Ouyang was endlessly satisfied with his strong perseverance.

Ouyang saw that Tiger Star was almost at the beginning level of blacksmithing, so he spent the next two months teaching Tiger Star all his special skills, and taught him more than 20 special skills and secret forging methods one by one. Tiger Star's whole body was filled with excitement.

Indulging in it, Tigerstar suddenly felt that this was the most fulfilling and happiest time he had lived since he was a child. Because of the spoiling of his family, he felt miserable and boring, and was full of yearning for outside life. He did not leave until he was eighteen years old.

Under the surveillance of the four elders, the previous scene happened again two years later. Facing the grandfathers who had doted on him since childhood, he felt more sad, helpless, self-blame, etc.

Being lost in the forging, Tiger Star also gained a lot. Even when Tiger Star was struggling to forge, he heard the system prompt: "Congratulations to Tiger Star because his forging skills have improved, and his strength has been permanently increased by five points." This made Tiger Star

Quantity understands that in this game, you can't gain power only by upgrading. The system prompts sounded four times in succession, which meant that Tiger Star had upgraded to another four levels.

Time passed by in a hurry, and another month passed, and the system prompt sounded again: "Congratulations Tiger Star, you are the first player to reach the advanced level of blacksmith. The system will specially reward you with an immortal weapon forging hammer, permanently increasing your strength by 10, and your reputation."

Add 1000, gold coins add 1000." It was such a beautiful voice, but Tigerstar no longer cared about this thing, his whole body had been attracted by the forging.

But what happened next made Tigerstar completely dumbfounded. No matter how hard he forged, he couldn't make any breakthroughs. His advanced blacksmithing experience didn't increase at all, and he was still 0% advanced. Another week passed, and he could only say that Tigerstar's forging was excellent.

The technique becomes more and more proficient, but there is no breakthrough in its essence.

At this moment, Ouyang Yelian came out and said, "Did Tigerstar encounter difficulties?" Tigerstar had to nod.

As if all these things were expected by Ouyang Yelian, Ouyang Yelian walked up to Tiger Star calmly and said, "Do you still remember what I said back then?" Tiger Star couldn't help but tremble after hearing this.

"I said at the beginning that your blacksmithing skills can only reach the advanced level because your heart is dead and your eyes are empty. Although you have endurance that is rare for ordinary people, the advanced and grand master level does not mean that you need endurance.

It needs a heart, a heart full of yearning, vitality, and vitality, but I can't see it in you, all I see is eyes that are escaping." Ouyang frowned and said seriously.

Tigerstar was unusually calm this time and said: "Yes, I have always hoped to use forging to numb myself and make me forget the past. It seems that I have failed."

"My child, you are in your prime. Your running away like this will only make you more silent and pessimistic. Now that you are learning my true heritage from me, it is time for you to get out of this hut. Maybe this vast world and the vast world of mortals can

Let your soul be washed and purified, so that you can grow up quickly." Ouyang said with a little care in his eyes.

Tigerstar also knew that he could not stay here anymore, so he knelt down in front of Ouyang Yelian, kowtowed three times silently, and said, "Thank you Master for your teaching and guidance over the past few days. The apprentice will never forget it. Master, take care." After that,

Walking outside. Ouyang Yelian shook his head.

When Tigerstar just walked out of the blacksmith's door, he heard Ouyang Yelian say: "As a man, you should not learn to escape, face life well, and experience life. This is the only requirement that Master has for you to become a master." After hearing this, Tigerstar felt excited in his heart.

His eyes had turned slightly red, he stopped and looked at the abandoned blacksmith's hut, and walked towards Xinshou Village Square without looking back.

At this time, Novice Village was no longer as noisy as before. Although busy figures could still be seen, most of them were associate professional players. Hu De came to the center of Novice Village Square, and the old man was still there.

"Hello, Mr. Village Chief, I want to create a novice village. Do you think I need anything else?" Tigerstar walked up to the old village chief and said.

The village chief looked at Tigerstar, more surprised, and said with a smile: "Young hero, it's you! I haven't seen you for a long time. Your strength has improved a lot. Why do you think of leaving the Novice Village?"

"Master Ouyang and I were learning blacksmithing, so we wasted a lot of time." Tigerstar answered truthfully.

The village chief looked at Tigerstar with a smile and said, "Master Ouyang is a rare craftsman god in China. It is really a blessing for the young hero to be able to worship under his sect."

"I did learn a lot of skills from Master Ouyang. Village Chief, do you have any other tasks that you need my help with before I leave?" Tigerstar said, looking at the old man in front of him.

The old man thought for a while and said: "Young hero and old man really have a merciless request."

Tigerstar looked at the village chief and said without hesitation, "Mr. Chief, just ask."

"The old man said shamelessly, young hero, do you remember when you killed the Boar King?" Tigerstar nodded, and the village chief continued: "The Boar King is a harm to our village. There are many young people in our village.

People died under his fangs, but things are better now. The young hero has helped these resentful spirits in Xiaji Village to be comforted. But our Xiaji Village itself is barren and has little soil, and there is a mine that is the main source of income.

Last year, it was occupied by a ten-thousand-year-old corpse king. I wonder if the young hero can help the old man eradicate this evil corpse king," the village chief said.

"Is it the mine in the northwest of the village?" Tigerstar probably heard some clues.

"Oh, yes, that's right there. How did the young hero know? By the way, I forgot that you are still a blacksmith, haha." The village chief smiled apologetically.

Tigerstar thought about it and said, "The boss inside is indeed very powerful."

"I wonder if you are willing, young hero? If you succeed, your reward will still be the blessing of the lucky star, a chance to spin the wheel and the blessings of the whole village of Xiaji Village." The village chief was afraid that Tiger Star would not agree and hurriedly released him.

lure.

Tigerstar then remembered that his pet Piaomiao had been out for a long time. Tigerstar looked at the pet space and saw that the little guy was still sleeping! He didn't disturb it anymore. Tigerstar thought for a moment and said, "Okay.

!I promise you."

"I'm really used to the young hero's decisiveness. Haha, I wish you good luck." The village chief smiled happily.

The system prompts: "You successfully accepted the commission from the village chief."

Hu Liang thought that he should go to the drug store to buy some red and blue, otherwise he really didn't have confidence. When he came to the drug store, the female apprentice's eyes lit up when she saw Hu Xing and said: "Young hero, you are here, long time no see."

"Well, give me ten groups of medium red and fifty groups of medium blue (a group of 10 bottles)." Tigerstar said.

"Okay, wait a minute, young hero." After saying that, the apprentice walked inside and came out with a bunch of medicine bottles. Tigerstar took them and asked, "How much?"

"One bottle of red is worth a silver coin, blue and red are the same." The apprentice smiled.

"Oh." Tigerstar handed over six gold coins, said goodbye to the female apprentice, and walked toward the mine. He went to the grocery department and bought a few return tickets.
