Chapter 32 Quality Increase (Second Update)
The eunuch who took the money smiled and left with a smile. The old eunuch glanced at Shen Zhiwen, who was still kneeling below: "Get out of here, too. Next time, we will take your head!"
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Shen Zhiwen got up from the ground respectfully, backed away all the way, and only turned around and bent down to leave when he reached the door.
The palace maid fed the peeled grapes into the old eunuch's mouth and said sweetly: "This man clearly wants to use my father-in-law to seek personal revenge. Why should I help him with this little money?"
The old eunuch chewed the grapes twice, but felt that he couldn't taste the grapes, so he simply put his hand into the palace maid's clothes and stirred it back and forth.
With a little force, the palace maid blushed and let out a slight cry of pain.
The old eunuch retracted his hand with satisfaction, smelled it at the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, and the money is not much. But if you raise a dog, you have to feed it some meat from time to time. If it gets beaten, the master has to give it back." Yes. Besides, if a few people die every now and then, who would be afraid of our family?”
From beginning to end, the old eunuch had no intention of investigating. In his eyes, the blacksmith camp could be destroyed with a wave of his hand.
The people there are worthless, worse than dogs.
After saying a few nice words to the young eunuch guarding outside the palace, Shen Zhiwen walked towards Lin Yuansi.
His face darkened, and he took out dozens of taels in vain. This was not small money.
"Old castrated dog, you are getting more and more greedy. Sooner or later, I will get it back from you!"
……
In the blacksmith shop, Jiang Lin kept swinging the hammer, sweating like rain.
Thanks to his extremely high proficiency in burning fire, his tempering speed was even faster than that of Zhao Yankui.
This caused the master to look over in surprise from time to time, thinking that Jiang Lin was progressing too fast. It had only been a few days and he was already looking at this posture.
Zhao Yankui couldn't help but think to himself, fortunately he still had the two skills of tempering and sharpening, otherwise he really didn't know what else he could teach this kid.
Even he was so surprised, let alone the other blacksmiths and apprentices.
Many people looked at Jiang Lin's skillful movements with envy in their eyes.
Especially the apprentices who have been training in the tempering area for many years were scolded by the old blacksmith beside him: "Look at Jiang Lin, how long he has been practicing for just now, and he is already able to stand on his own. Look at you, after so many years of training, you are still only so-so. It’s so annoying!”
The apprentice who was reprimanded was also aggrieved. He had never been lazy. He would do whatever the master told him to do and he never dared to slack off.
What can I do if a monster like Jiang Lin comes out?
Among all the apprentices in the South Blacksmith Camp, no one would envy Jiang Lin to the heavens now.
As the saying goes, people will die if they compare with others, and goods will be thrown away if they compare with others.
Sparks flew everywhere, and the long knife in Jiang Lin's hand quickly took shape.
Zhao Yankui had been paying attention here. Occasionally he found some missing details and pointed them out immediately.
After Jiang Lin respectfully thanked him, he felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
[You have learned the secret of tempering, and your proficiency has been improved again]
Under Zhao Yankui's guidance, Jiang Lin also gained a lot of proficiency.
As soon as the first long knife was struck, and before it had time to be tempered, he felt a familiar heat flowing into his body.
At the same time, Jiang Lin heard a slight squeaking sound and looked down, only to see a small hole in the vest at the armpit.
Even without a mirror, he could still feel the explosion in his muscles, and his skin seemed to be unable to bear it.
It wasn't until the heat rolled around his body several times that the tearing feeling gradually weakened.
What followed was a surge of power. Jiang Lin couldn't help but move his limbs, and there was a crackling sound. Zhao Yankui, who was standing next to him, was startled when he heard this. He turned around and said in surprise: "Jiang Lin, why have you grown taller again?"
Blacksmith Qi and others also gathered around, looking at Jiang Lin over and over, and finally asked: "Don't you know how to get started with oven baking?"
As a blacksmith's specialized practice, the oven method does have the effect of strengthening one's physique and increasing one's strength.
In the eyes of these blacksmiths, only by getting started with the oven method can Jiang Lin become stronger day by day.
But I haven't seen Jiang Lin build any high-quality weapons. Even if he is a genius in blacksmithing, he shouldn't be like this.
Jiang Lin couldn't explain that his baking method was different from others, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "I have been taught by my master recently, and I have gained some enlightenment. Plus I eat a lot more meat every day, so I may be getting started."
"You are really..." Blacksmith Qi smacked his lips, unable to think of any suitable words to comment.
"If you were taller, you would almost catch up with me." Zhao Yankui came over to compare, but he didn't mean to be jealous. Instead, he laughed and patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder: "Good boy, I have a feeling. What I am most proud of in this life is probably not how many weapons I have made or what kind of craftsman I have been, but what I am most proud of is having such a good apprentice like you, hahahaha..."
Tiejiang Qi stood nearby with a depressed look on his face, regretting for the countless times that he had not taken Jiang Lin in earlier.
After everyone congratulated and left one after another, Jiang Lin had time to check his information.

[Level: Blacksmith Apprentice, Iron Body]
[Skill 1: Fire Level 6 (Proficiency 4160/5000)]
[Skill 2: Tempering Lv5 (Proficiency 0/5000)]
[Skill 3: Tempering Lv1 (Proficiency 0/5)]
[Skill 1: Level 6 proficient, can perfectly control the furnace temperature within 1,500 degrees, increase the fire efficiency by 20%, and improve the quality of casting materials by 10%]
[Skill 2: Level 5 Lifting Weight is a breeze, improving the accuracy of hammer drop by 100%, and improving the quality of castings by 10%]
[Skill 3: Level 2: See the subtle details to know the work, see the subtle details to know the cuteness, see the end to know the end, see the chopsticks and be frightened]
[Skill 4: Level 2 oven method, the body is the furnace, the mind is the hammer, the gold essence and the fire essence are the materials, and the golden body is tempered to be immortal. The current progress is 4.7/1000 gold essence and 1.6/200 fire essence. It cannot be upgraded. 】
[Skill 5: Level 1 is completely reborn and can roughly determine the timing of quenching]
As expected, the tempering skill has been upgraded to level 5. Not only has the hammer hit 100%, but it also has an additional boosting effect.
Improve the quality of castings by ten percent!
It may not sound like much, but don’t forget that level 6 proficiency skill itself can improve the quality of casting materials by 10%. Now tempering has also increased by 10%. Although this is not simply one plus one, but No matter how you calculate it, the final quality improvement is considerable.
The most important thing is that the higher the quality of the weapon, the faster you can collect gold essence, and the upgrade speed of the oven method will also be accelerated accordingly.
This is a perfect virtuous circle. Jiang Lin held the handle of the hammer and felt happy in his heart.
He took another look at the quenching skill, which was completely transformed. Both the fire-burning and tempering skills had an increase in the quality of casting. What about this new skill?
There is a high probability that there will be!
Thinking of this, Jiang Lin couldn't help but glance at the other blacksmiths.
If everyone's weapons were tempered by him, how quickly would their proficiency improve?
There are two more updates to come, so I’ll continue to read and collect monthly passes.
I don’t know if the current pace is slow, but I don’t want the protagonist to improve too quickly. I want to take it slowly step by step, solidify all the basic skills, and then skyrocket
