Disaster Strikes

After a while.

After the old man and his granddaughter left, the steward's eyes suddenly became kind when he looked at Chen Mo.

"My name is Bo Langtai. I really didn't expect that the person my old man was talking about along the way turned out to be you. What a coincidence. Since you want to be an apprentice here, although I am just a steward, I can help you with this. Don’t worry.”

"That's great!"

Chen Mo said excitedly and handed the coin he had taken out to the other party, but was pushed back by Brantai.

"Although I am greedy for money, I still have to look at who I am dealing with."

After speaking with a righteous look, he took Chen Mo to the blacksmith shop and shouted: "We have a new apprentice, with a monthly salary of two silver coins."

After making a loud announcement, Brantai took Chen Mo to the backyard of the blacksmith shop.

In the backyard of the blacksmith shop, there are six huge furnaces and a large amount of iron ore piled up.

These ores must be heated and melted at high temperatures before the pig iron required for forging farm tools and ordinary weapons can be initially extracted. Several apprentices are working hard.

Brantai soon called over a tall man with dark skin.

"Hei Laogui, this is the new apprentice, my distant relative, please take care of me."

The man known as the Black Old Ghost heard this and patted Chen Mo on the shoulder. Due to Chen Mo's practice of boy skills, his lower body is quite stable. In addition, his strength value has reached 16 points. Among ordinary people, it can be said that It was outstanding, and Hei Laogui's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, he is a good prospect. If he is willing to endure hardship, he may be promoted to a second-level apprentice within half a year."

When Bolantai saw this, he nodded and smiled.

He warned Chen Mo: "You stay here first and work with the old black guy. When you have no problem here, I will find a way to transfer you up."

"OK!"

Seeing that Chen Mo did not show dissatisfaction and looked down-to-earth, Bolantai couldn't help but smile with relief and left the backyard.

After Bo Langtai left, Hei Laogui motioned for Chen Mo to follow him.

"Take it off."

Chen Mo didn't waste any time, and immediately took off his shirt like everyone else, exposing his tendons.

Seeing this, the other apprentices who were busy couldn't help but take a second look. Hei Laogui began to demonstrate step by step the specific work content of a first-level apprentice.

After all, this guy is a relative in charge, so I'd better control my temper when dealing with him in the future.

"First-level apprentices do the hardest and most tiring work. To refine pig iron from these ores, you need to crush these large pieces of ore first and then pour them into the furnace one by one. At the same time, you must pay attention to the heat. Every time After a period of time, add fire through the blower. The temperature and rules need to be constantly observed and understood. Once the amount of iron ore inside is sufficient, remove the pig iron inside as soon as possible..."

I have to say.

This is a dirty and tiring chore, and it is also the initial stage of honing ancient skills.

The first day is undoubtedly the hardest and most tiring.

It not only required Chen Mo to concentrate and listen to the demonstration and reasoning of the black old ghost, but also required Chen Mo to practice it and work continuously. Therefore, at the end of the day, not only was he physically exhausted, but his mind was also a little dazed, and it seemed that he would fall asleep as soon as he lay down.

Such an amount of exercise has already exceeded the basic training requirements of Tongzi Kung Fu.

After briefly washing up in the bathroom of the blacksmith shop, Chen Mo ate something on the street. As soon as he got home, he wanted to lie down on the bed and sleep. However, he thought that after the day's rest, the energy in his body had been restored, so he steeled himself , after squandering all the energy in his body, he fell into a drowsy sleep.

Early the next morning.

"Good morning."

Chen Mo had just arrived on the roof and was about to practice, when he heard Wayne's voice.

This little guy had obviously been waiting for a while and was looking at Chen Mo expectantly.

Although he was surprised, the process of practicing boy's art was not something shameful. After Chen Mo greeted the little guy with a smile, he began to practice wholeheartedly. During the process of Zamabu, he kept persevering, waiting for the purple The moment when anger comes from the east.

After seeing Chen Mo's weird posture, Wayne also started to learn from it.

So the two people, one big and one small, walked quietly, waiting for the sunrise to come.

After the sun completely rose above the horizon, Chen Mo let out the turbid air in his chest and looked at the little guy sitting on the ground, panting from exhaustion, and couldn't help but smile.

Wayne pouted and pleaded, refusing to admit defeat: "Uncle Chen Mo, can you teach me?"

Chen Mo was not disgusted with this little guy, and seemed to see some shadows of his childhood in him. Moreover, with this little guy by his side, the next nearly one year of practice would be a bit more fun.

So he said: "Learn from me. If you want to achieve something, it will not happen overnight. As long as you are not lazy."

"real?"

Wayne seemed a little unbelievable that Chen Mo actually agreed to him.

He immediately said excitedly: "It's a deal!"

"Wayne, come back for dinner."

Wayne's mother's voice came from below again. Seeing the little guy hurried downstairs, Chen Mo jumped off the roof after seeing no one around.

With the blessing of Basic Jump Level 6, Chen Mo fell to the ground like an expert and walked towards the Bailianjin Blacksmith Shop to start a new day.

…

That's it.

Before I knew it, two months had passed.

In the past two months, Chen Mo has been very low-key and has a very regular schedule. He has completely adapted to the identity of an apprentice in the blacksmith shop in Glory City and has also integrated into the life of ordinary people in Meishi Street.

In the morning, he practiced with Wade, squandered all the energy in his body and the energy in the one-eyed dragon eye mask, and went to the blacksmith shop to work. After returning in the evening, he squandered the energy restored in his body and the energy accumulated in the one-eyed dragon eye mask to improve his skill proficiency.

Occasionally, when he had free time, he would drink and brag with Vince.

This guy, like Chen Mo, plunged into the pile of herbs after becoming an apprentice in the Herbal Medicine House, learning how to identify and handle those miscellaneous herbs. The patience and observation required were no easier than Chen Mo.

So this pair of brothers in distress naturally began to complain and encourage each other.

It must be mentioned that

After the initial fluster, Chen Mo, after two months of study, was not only able to do his daily work, but also able to summarize lessons and arrange working hours more reasonably, which not only improved work efficiency, but also amazed Hei Laogui.

This means that Chen Mo may really have the opportunity to become a new forger in the blacksmith shop in the future.

Of course.

It is unknown whether this is sincere or completely out of flattery to the steward.

But it finally made Chen Mo's life more fulfilling and smooth.

This also made him sigh that helping the grandfather and grandson was indeed a correct choice, and laid a solid foundation for his future life in Glory City. If there was no steward's care, Chen Mo would not be hindered, but it would definitely not be as smooth as it is now.

In the past two months of hard work, Chen Mo's attribute panel not only added a basic alchemy item, but also upgraded the basic alchemy from Lv1 to Lv3, which is not slow.

In this way,

As Chen Mo gradually became familiar with the work of the first-level apprentice, he even had some free time when he went back in the evening and was able to chat with the neighbors around him.

Here we need to mention the level division of forgers.

First of all, there are apprentices. Glory City is divided into three levels.

The first-level apprentice is undoubtedly Chen Mo's job at the moment. He is responsible for smelting slag and refining pig iron. Generally speaking, apprentices with better qualifications can be promoted in about a year if they are diligent and hardworking.

The second-level apprentice is responsible for casting these pig iron into tools. A qualified apprentice must go through at least two or three years of training, and then he can set up his own business.

The blacksmith shop owners in each castle are basically at this level.

As for the third-level apprentice, it is the highest-level apprentice. Its skills will also be expanded to sewing, carving, and making props such as armor, shoes, and jewelry. This kind of apprentice is almost the limit of those with mediocre forging qualifications.

Above that is the forger.

The evaluation standard for a forger is to be able to independently refine iron essence and forge magic props.

Although forgers are also divided into different levels according to their skills, the standard that Glory City can reach is only the first-level forger. Forgers of higher levels, the magic materials required by Glory City cannot be provided at all.

This day.

After Chen Mo finished practicing on the roof with Wayne, he was about to leave and start a new day after squandering all the energy in his body, but suddenly received a prompt.

Prompt: Your skill proficiency level of the despicable telekinetic shield +1.

Prompt: Your skill proficiency level of the despicable telekinetic shield has reached Lv4, activating additional attributes.

Lv4 additional attributes: When the effect of the despicable telekinetic shield is maximized, you can get speed +2, basic footwork +2, basic jump +2, which lasts for 10 minutes and cannot be repeated.

"The despicable telekinetic shield has finally been upgraded to Lv4!"

Two weeks ago, Chen Mo's skill proficiency of the Corrosion Ball reached Lv2.

However, since it is only an upgrade from Lv1 to Lv2, the skill damage is fixed, so there is no change in attributes, so there is no need to mention it.

However, the proficiency of the despicable telekinetic shield has increased from Lv3 to Lv4, achieving a qualitative change.

At this moment, after seeing the additional attributes of the despicable telekinetic shield Lv4, Chen Mo's eyes lit up after a little thought.

Because of the talent of the traverser, all of Chen Mo's telekinetic skills are divided into two different release modes: positive and negative. The negative skills that were once used on the enemy can be converted into gain skills when used on his own side, and the gain skills that were once used on his own side can become negative skills when used on the enemy.

At this moment, the additional attributes of Chen Mo's despicable telekinetic shield Lv4 are quite superior.

At least the attributes such as speed +2, basic footwork +2, and basic jump +2 are almost obvious for low-end natural disasters.

What's more, Chen Mo can also release them in the opposite direction to enemy units.

With this increase and decrease, the speed gap between the two sides will undoubtedly be further widened. The Lv4 additional attribute of the skill alone is already quite good.

Of course.

Such a high-intensity gain skill effect also has limitations.

That is, it must be used to the maximum effect of the despicable telekinetic shield to take effect.

In other words, within 20 seconds after releasing the skill, if there is no external attack and revealing, the additional attributes of speed +2, basic footwork +2, and basic jump +2 can be obtained, which is quite consistent with the characteristics of this skill.

Despicable is the pass of the despicable, and noble is the epitaph of the noble.
