Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

What Qin Niu wanted to buy was a knife, preferably one that could chop wood, hunt, and kill enemies.

He entered a store with the largest number of knives and weapons.

The guy's thick arms were bare and his muscles were all tangled. The two chest muscles in particular are extremely strong.

"Want to buy weapons?"

"Are there any knives of this style forged from hundreds of refined steel?"

Qin Niu pointed to a thick-backed machete.

The blade is of medium length, with a suitable width and a slightly curved belly. It can chop and cut. This is exactly the style of weapon he wants.

"Are you sure you want to buy a thick-backed machete made of hundred-refined steel? The price is not cheap. The price of hundred-refined steel is almost three times the price of silver. For such a big one, it costs more than a hundred taels of silver at least."

The clerk looked at Qin Niu carefully. This young man from the countryside probably didn't know how expensive Baidu Refined Steel was.

"It's so expensive that I really can't afford it. It is said in the book that good steel is used on the blade. What if I ask for a fine iron blade with a layer of hundreds of refined steel in the middle to make the blade?"

Qin Niu usually likes to read, and his mind and wisdom are really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

When he didn't have enough money, he came up with a scientific and reasonable plan to save money.

"Well... I'm just an apprentice, please wait a moment."

The man turned to look at the forge inside.

You could faintly see the fire burning brightly, and an old man about fifty years old was sweating profusely while forging a weapon.

"Master, this customer wants to buy a special knife."

After a while, the old man walked out of it.

The old man was not particularly tall, but he looked extremely strong and powerful.

Muscles as hard as stone can be seen on the entire naked upper body.

"What kind of knife do you want to buy, little brother?"

The old man's voice was hoarse, like a broken gong.

"I want to buy a thick-backed machete of this style, but because I don't have enough money, I would like to ask you to make it from fine iron, and then sandwich a layer of hardened fine steel in the middle to increase the sharpness and durability of the knife. .”

Qin Niu looked very professional.

"No problem. The weight of this knife is about three kilograms, and the steel clip inside is about three taels. The price of refined iron is one tael of silver per kilogram, and three kilograms is thirty taels of silver. The price of hundred-refined refined steel is three times the price of silver. , three taels is nine taels of silver. My wages are five taels of silver."

The old man quoted an approximate price.

The price of five taels of silver is actually not cheap, but the more skilled blacksmiths basically charge this price.

The prices of some top forging masters are even more terrifying.

Also, don’t think that the weapon shop only made five cents of hard-earned money. They can refine fine iron and hundred-refined steel by themselves, and the profit from this is often the bulk.

"I don't have enough money! Do you think the price can be lower?"

Qin Niu didn't expect that buying weapons would be so expensive.

That is, after the bear skin was sold for a good price, he dared to raise his demand and buy a hundred-refined steel weapon. Otherwise, fine iron weapons are already considered very good weapons for him.

According to the old man's calculation, at least twelve taels of silver are needed.

There's still a couple of dollars left.

And he also wanted to set aside a tael of silver to buy a low-level contract talisman.

"What's the most you can go out with?"

the old man asked him.

"Eight taels."

Qin Niu said a price that made the old man jump.

"No, no, it's too low. The cost is not enough." The old man shook his head repeatedly.

These blacksmiths have a bad temper and are not very good at bargaining.

"If it really doesn't work, forget it."

Qin Niu turned around and walked out of the store.

"return!"

The old man stopped him again.

"If you can only afford eight taels of silver, use one less for Jia Gang. I will lose the wages to you."

"I'll add one more tael and give it up to nine taels. The price will be reduced but the material will not be reduced. Whatever weapons I need in the future, as long as you can forge them here, I will come to you."

Qin Niu Sha appears to be quite experienced despite his starting price.

It was completely different from his usual silent and idiotic behavior in the village.

"This... is too little. Please give me more. My apprentice and I can't even earn enough to eat."

The old man's eyes had already compromised, and he was just making a last-ditch effort to make more money.

"Just take care of me for once! Next time I come to you, I won't bargain and let you earn more. When I get rich, I will definitely change my weapons to better ones."

Qin Niu drew cakes for the old man.

After the battle between heaven and man, the old man might be able to make a little profit after calculating the cost.

He nodded in agreement with a grimace on his face.

"Okay, okay!" The old man took out a basin of wet mud from under the shelf.

Qin Niu didn't know what he was going to do.

The old man rubbed a clay stick as thick as his forearm, and then said to Qin Niu, "Hold it with both hands and apply a little force."

"You guys are quite professional here!"

Qin Niu didn't expect that his hand model would be needed to build a weapon.

"My master is a descendant of the Ou family. Every weapon he makes contains his hard work. People who have used it say it is good."

The apprentice was bragging beside him.

Ou Yezi is indeed a top master in forging weapons.

This old man is a descendant of the Ou family, so he must not be much worse.

In fact, as long as a weapons store can operate in Xiulianfang City for three years without closing, its skills will be good. This weapons shop looks very old.

After measuring his hands, Master Ou then measured Qin Niu's arm length, height, and his habit of wielding weapons when bending over.

Seeing how professional the service here was, Qin Niu felt a little embarrassed.

After all, the bargaining was a bit ruthless, and the price was reduced by two taels and five cents.

After the measurement, Master Ou drew a picture on the spot, asked Qin Niu to confirm the style and shape of the weapon, and wrote down all the data he had just measured.

"Based on your knife-wielding habits, the tip of the knife is slightly upward at an angle of 45 degrees. The blade will be thickened in this section. The added weight will make your cuts more explosive. The length of the blade is one foot and four inches, which is consistent with your Your height and arm length will be very coordinated. The handle of the knife will be thicker because your hands are larger, and you seem to prefer to hold the handle tightly when swinging the knife..."

Master Ou gave him a detailed explanation.

"If you want to clamp steel, prepare the front edge of the knife for more use. The closer it is to the handle, the less amount you use, because usually the main cutting areas are the front edge and the middle part."

As expected of a professional, rich forging experience can be seen in all aspects of design.

In front of Qin Niu, they weighed three kilograms of refined iron and made three or two hundred refined steel. The master and apprentice went inside and started forging together.

Qin Niu was not in a hurry to leave, and he had to be on guard against others.

I am still a little worried about being transferred or having my materials reduced.

Customize this expensive weapon, and most people will stand by to supervise the work.

After nearly three hours, his weapon was finally forged.

It is indeed very hard to make this money.

The pants of both the master and the disciple were soaked through. If they took a step, there would be a wet mark on the ground.

"Come, let's see if your custom-made thick-backed chopping knife is good for you!"

Master Ou handed the newly completed work into his hands with excitement on his face, and a slightly uneasy expression on his face.

Definitely a little worried about dissatisfied guests.

Qin Niu took the knife and as soon as he held it, his eyes suddenly lit up and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"This knife... seems to be alive, as if it can recognize its owner."

Qin Niu's words made the master and apprentice laugh.

"This knife was tailor-made for you. If you don't take advantage of it, how can my master survive?"

The disciple's words were full of pride and pride.

Qin Niu held the sword and slashed with the right weight and good explosive power. His slashing skills seemed to have become much stronger. I just can't find something to try and it always feels unsatisfactory.

"Just cut this iron pier."

Master Ou pointed to an iron pier covered with knife marks.

"I'm a little worried about the curling blade." Qin Niuke couldn't bear to chop randomly. This was a high-end weapon that cost nine taels of silver to build.

"It's okay. I'll give it to you for free if you cut it so hard."

Master Ou was full of confidence.

Seeing that he was not joking, Qin Niu clenched his sword on the spot and slashed at Tiedunzi.

puff!

It was more than two centimeters into the blade. Unexpectedly, the first cut produced an explosive slashing effect.

This is an iron pier. If it cuts so deep with one knife, doesn't it mean that ordinary iron armor is as fragile as a piece of paper in front of Qin Niu's sword?

Ordinary armor can be considered very thick if it is three millimeters thick.

If it is thick, the weight is so staggering that most people cannot carry it.

"My little brother, this swordsmanship is quite powerful! Can you see if the blade is injured?"

Master Ou couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation when he saw how powerful his strike was.

It's rare for a country boy to have such strong sword skills.

But he didn't know that Qin Niu had just achieved the explosive effect.

Qin Niu looked at the blade carefully and found that it was unscathed, not even a hairline-sized chip.

This sword is really powerful for cutting gold and jade.

The nine taels of silver were well spent.

With it, whether you are hunting in the mountains or fighting against bullies in the village, you will be able to go without any disadvantage.

Use a hatchet to kill Wang Haikun, and the sneak attack can be successful.

If you kill him with this sword, it will probably be no different than killing a chicken or duck.

It doesn't matter if this person is wearing leather armor, he can be cut into two pieces with just one strike.
