Chapter 324 Strengthening skills, super A level, peerless wisdom
Blacksmith shop.
Huhu~
The apprentice with a sweat towel hanging around his neck was wiping away the hot sweat while pulling the bellows.
A large amount of air was blown into the furnace, causing the cyan fire to grow higher and higher.
A young man with only one arm was staring at the ore in the fire.
After the ore burns red, immediately take it out with iron tongs and place it on the forging table next to you.
There is a slightly concave opening in the center of the forging platform, which is just enough to hold the ore.
After the young man stabilized his position, he immediately picked up the hammer leaning against the side of the console.
The arms swelled like muscles poured out of copper water, and the huge force caused the hammer to pass above his head.
At this moment, the hammer hit hard with the help of gravity.
Bangdang~
Mars is everywhere~
Although there is only one arm, there is no hint of awkwardness in the operation, and the skill is shocking.
Hammer after hammer, the fist-sized ore continues to shrink.
After the temperature of the ore dropped, he burned it in the fire.
The young man seemed like a mechanical puppet who didn't know how to get tired. This process was repeated again and again.
The eyes of the apprentice pulling the bellows were full of admiration.
He didn't know how many times it had passed, but the ore had shrunk to half of its original size, but he hadn't stopped yet.
"Sam, the lord said that the whole city has a two-day holiday. You haven't rested during this time. Go back and spend time with Shanna."
Hearing the sound, the young man who was staring at the fire turned his head slightly.
When he saw the person coming clearly, he immediately showed a respectful look.
"Good night, Lord Andel."
After saluting, he shook his head and rejected the other party's proposal.
"Now there is only one step away from success"
As he spoke, he saw that the ore turned red again and immediately took it out.
Weighed it with iron pliers, felt the weight in my hands, and felt relieved.
Without hesitation, he threw the ore directly into the stone bucket filled with black liquid next to the furnace.
Thorn~
A harsh sound sounded, and the black liquid seemed to boil and began to bubble.
The color changed from black to red like lava.
Seeing this, Sam's eyes were full of excitement and he took the last step.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, he turned his head and motioned to the poisonous scorpion warrior beside him to come closer.
Then he picked up a special tool and carefully poured the liquid from the stone bucket onto the poisonous scorpion warrior's scorpion tail.
After the fiery red liquid was poured on it, it was immediately swallowed by the scorpion tail.
After the temperature dropped, a layer of black hard armor condensed on top.
When the entire scorpion tail was covered with hard armor, a special power escaped from it, and the surrounding magic flow accelerated a bit.
Lines of red traces like spider webs emerged from the hard armor, as if they were outlined with strokes.
Just from the appearance, you can feel that Scorpion Tail has become extremely extraordinary at this moment.
Seeing this, Sam suddenly turned his head to look at Andel, his voice choked with excitement.
"Lord Aundair, I have lived up to your lord's expectations."
He has a respect for the great being who gave him everything that outsiders can't imagine.
Was the research successful? ! !
Andele showed a surprised smile.
Lord Richard will definitely be very happy~
"Let's go, come with me to see Sir Richard. He will give you a more important task."
After Sam calmed down, he glanced at his sloppy appearance with some embarrassment.
"Lord Andele, should I go change my clothes first?"
Forging iron by the fire, my body has already been soaked.
"Go ahead."
"Yes."
A moment later, Sam, who had changed into clean clothes, followed Andel respectfully without daring to say a word.
In Richard's eyes, Andele is a soft, cute little girl with a bit of a research nerd.
But in the blacksmith shop, the other party is a queen-like figure who holds the power of life and death and can decide the apprentice's fate with just one word.
And with her superb forging skills and Richard's unconditional trust, she has enough prestige in the eyes of her apprentices.
Even looking at the entire Twilight City, there were few people who could act arrogantly in front of her.
Approaching the lord's mansion, Sam immediately became nervous.
To him and all the residents of the Twilight City, the lord's mansion was filled with sacredness.
Because the great being they respect most lives here.
On weekdays, almost no one is qualified to enter the lord's mansion.
Therefore, even if you can go in and deliver food and rice, you can still brag about it with others.
As he stepped through the door, the mummy guard looked at him with his empty eyes.
The penetrating soul fire seems to be able to freeze everything.
Sam's heart trembled and he didn't dare to look around. He lowered his head and immediately followed Andiel.
In a short time, the two of them crossed the front yard and entered the hall.
Andele said hello first.
"Good night, Lord Richard."
Sam was relieved when he saw the familiar figure and immediately stepped forward.
"Good night, my lord"
Richard, who had just heard the system prompt that the Scorpion Warrior's intermediate technology research was successful, saw the two of them entering the room, with a smile on his face.
"No need to be polite, just sit down."
After the two of them sat down, they glanced at Sam appreciatively.
"Thank you for your hard work these days, Sam. I've seen your efforts and you've done a great job."
Sam stood up excitedly and put one arm on his chest again.
"Sir, all this is your gift!"
Richard smiled and waved his hand for him to continue sitting down.
"Keep working hard in the future, I have high hopes for you."
"I will live up to your trust!"
Richard nodded and didn't say more on this topic.
Although the Scorpion Warrior's intermediate technology is worthy of celebration, he has gained too much from this copy, and he has already developed a strong immunity to these more ordinary developments.
He looked at the girl beside him and entered the main topic of today.
"Andele, you can postpone the forging of the dragon-hunting crossbow."
"Now, I give you an important task."
As he spoke, he placed 14 psychic crystals on the table.
"These treasures are the treasures I obtained in the dark plane. Their function is to strengthen the characteristics of the troops."
After describing the functions and limitations of this 5-star treasure in detail, he finally said.
"This task is of great importance. It can enhance the foundation of Twilight City. I need you to devote yourself to it."
Andele's eyes immediately lit up.
For this girl, nothing is as interesting as research and forging, which is her favorite.
"My lord, I will never let you down!"
The tone was clean and crisp, without any delay.
This is the confidence of an A-level hero, as well as the pride and confidence of a top-level blacksmith.
"This is the unit you want to study and strengthen - the stone statue of the dead."
As he spoke, Richard gestured to the stone statue of the dead that he had left behind in the corner.
"This is a new unit in Twilight City, with strong combat effectiveness and potential."
Andele's eyes were like a child seeing a favorite toy. She held the psychic crystal while looking at the stone statue of the dead.
"Sir, I will produce results as soon as possible"
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, it's not too late to rest for a few days."
Andele hummed a few times, but obviously didn't listen.
Richard didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he gave a few more words. Seeing that the other party's heart was already flying, he stopped talking nonsense.
Waving his hand, the somewhat impatient girl left with 5 psychic gems.
He collected the remaining 9 pills first.
The most important thing now is to find out how much psionic gems can improve the troops, so that you can make arrangements with an idea.
After Andiel left, Richard looked at Sam who was sitting upright in front of him.
He quite admired the blacksmith whom he had given the power of a B-class hero.
Not to mention that the other party has already given research results and proved himself.
He was able to become a blacksmith even after losing an arm, and even protected a blind girl across the desert before being taken back to the Twilight City.
This experience is enough to make people take a few glances.
He admires those who strive for self-improvement and do not surrender to their fate.
After thinking for a moment, under Sam's nervous gaze, he took out the strengthening crystal.
This is a treasure that can be exchanged for gold points. It can enhance a hero's skills to super A level.
Andel is already an A-level hero, with unlimited potential in the future. If she continues to advance, she will have a high probability of improving her skills to super-A level.
Using it on the other party is obviously not cost-effective.
Sam is undoubtedly the right person.
There may be someone with more potential than the other person, but who makes him admire the other person very much?
As the sole ruler of this land, he can easily change the fate of any resident if he wishes.
Even if the other party has a broken arm, so what?
While thinking, he opened the other party's properties panel.
Sam
Hero Unit
[Level]: Level 7

[Introduction]: A blacksmith with a broken arm, his eyes are full of perseverance, no one knows what he can achieve in the future.
Although Sam's overall attributes are not as good as Andele, the pearl of the Twilight City, they are still excellent.
After making his decision, Richard did not hesitate and picked up a strengthening crystal.
Look directly at the other person.
"Sam, now I will give you new power."
"Remember, when you master more powerful power, you also have to bear more responsibilities. The Twilight City needs your efforts."
Sam stood up immediately and looked at Richard anxiously and excitedly.
He wanted to say something, but Richard didn't give him a chance.
"Ding~ Do you want to strengthen Sam's skill - natural intelligence (B level)?"
"Yes."
The moment the choice is made.
The strengthening crystal in his hand turned into a stream of pure energy and poured into Sam's body.
In an instant, Sam trembled all over, feeling as if there were thousands of rivers running through his body.
In the majestic surge of energy.
The power deep in the bloodline was rapidly strengthened.
Richard observed carefully. Except for a little pain on Sam's face, there wasn't much difference.
The entire strengthening process lasted about twenty minutes before ending.
Because he was a life hero, there was no overwhelming situation that made people breathless. It only fluctuated slightly for a moment before returning to normal.
When Sam's frown relaxed, a reminder sounded in Richard's ears.
"Ding~ The strengthening is completed, the natural intelligence (B level) is promoted to the peerless intelligence (super A level)"
Peerless intelligence, when conducting research, the research success rate is increased by 50%, and the research time is reduced by 50%. When the original equipment is improved and optimized, the attributes can be increased by 30%, and the material consumption can be reduced by 30%.
The smile on Richard's face immediately brightened.
Transcendent A Grade skills are still powerful.
Andel, an A-level hero and a super blacksmith, after a series of attribute bonuses, her research success rate has only increased to 60%.
Sam now achieves 50% with just one skill!
This level of skill really doesn't make sense.
It also added a new feature that reduces research time by 50%, which made his original idea of cultivating a hero who specializes in researching technology a perfect realization.
At this time, Sam finally came to his senses, feeling the new power in his body, and his eyes became extremely fanatical.
He knelt down suddenly, handed his head to the ground, and saluted with the most pious gesture.
"Lord, thank you for your gift. Sam swears with his soul that he will be loyal to you forever. From this moment on, your will is the direction I move forward."
Richard waited for the other person to calm down before letting him get up.
Looking at this young man who was so excited that he couldn't help himself, he spoke earnestly.
"Sam, you have to remember that the power given to you is to enable you to protect your lover and the Twilight City."
"You are a member of the Twilight City. Everything you do is for yourself and your lover."
"Try to do your best and don't let me down."
After saying that, he immediately arranged the task without waiting for his response.
"After returning, immediately study the advanced attacks of the Poisonous Scorpion Warrior."
"I need to see results within half a month!"
Sam, who was still in a state of excitement, was decisive.
"It will be as you wish!"
Richard nodded, and after a few more instructions, he asked the other party to leave.
Aundair studies the strengthening of stone statues of the dead, and Sam studies advanced technology. The two of them are progressing in parallel.
If Twilight City wants to upgrade from a small town to a middle city, the first condition is that it needs an advanced technology.
This requirement may not seem high, but because of the need to prepare for the dungeon, all resources have not been invested in it, causing Twilight City to be stuck with this technology for more than two months.
And if the upgrade continues like this, subsequent promotions in Twilight City will definitely require more advanced technology.
If we want to develop in the future, technology is indispensable.
But when he thought that he had two top scientific researchers, Richard felt comfortable.
Although the current progress may be slower than other players.
But with Andele and Sam, coming from behind is not a problem at all.
The strengthening of military units by technology is visible to the naked eye. The previous bandage mummies and poisonous scorpion warriors can be described as soaring in combat effectiveness every time their technology is improved.
So even if there is no reason to upgrade the territory, he will invest a lot of resources in it.
A technologically powerful country is also applicable to this world.
In the future, the army level of Twilight City will be higher and higher.
At a certain level, it will definitely be impossible to be promoted as quickly as now.
At that time, upgrading technology will undoubtedly become another option to enhance the combat effectiveness of arms.
Plan ahead and plan ahead, and you won’t go wrong. (End of chapter)
