Chapter 59 New Skills
"No more?" Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant and asked: "Can't I light a fire for you during the regular test?"
"Of course not." Zhao Yankui shook his head and said: "Since it is a regular test, it is naturally a test of the blacksmith's own skills. If it is done by others, wouldn't it be unfair?"
"But if you take a lower-eighth-grade iron tool for periodic testing, there is nothing fair about it." Jiang Lin said.
"This..." Zhao Yankui laughed dryly and said: "Iron tools are iron tools. In short, it is a test that you have to use them yourself."
Jiang Lin wanted to say something else, but Zhao Yankui patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. Even if you can't get the Tiger Soul Pill this time, I can help you get a few more Qi and Blood Pills. As for making high-grade weapons, tomorrow I’ll call Master Qi and the others to discuss it.”
Jiang Lin nodded and watched Zhao Yankui leave.
No one is allowed to help during regular tests.
It makes sense when you think about it, but Jiang Lin was not discouraged.
Rules are made by people, and since they can be made, they can be changed.
He is going to order Tiger Soul Pill!
After cleaning the stove, Jiang Lin closed the stove door and walked to the corner of the blacksmith shop.
There are some weapons made for other armies piled here, including swords, guns and clubs.
Jiang Lin bent down and picked up a long bow and an arrow.
It was an ordinary one-stone bow. He twisted the bowstring with two fingers and stretched it to the full moon with a slight exertion.
There is no challenge at all, and the strength of the eight-stone bow is not at the same level.
He loosened his fingers, and the arrow made a "swish" sound and shot towards the target stuck in the straw in front of him.
Unfortunately, it missed the target.
But the corners of Jiang Lin's mouth slightly raised.
[Skill 4: Archery Lv1 (Proficiency 2/30)]
[Skill 6: Level 1 arrows are accurate, accuracy increased by 30%]
New skills, new skills!
As early as when he was at the Nanling Camp, Jiang Lin discovered that he had new information, but he kept it silent.
This is the first time that I have acquired skills that can be used in combat. It means that in this world, in addition to relying on skills to make ends meet, I can truly live and work!
However, Jiang Lin did not plan to spend too much time on archery skills. For now, there was not much danger in the blacksmith camp.
Even if your archery skills are extraordinary, you really can't use them. It would be better to spend more time improving other skills.
For example, before the regular test of tempering, Jiang Lin plans to upgrade to level 7, and quenching should ideally be upgraded to level 6. He also has yet to learn the skill of sharpening.
There are still eight days left for the regular test, which is not much time.
After putting down his bow and arrow, Jiang Lin turned around and left the blacksmith shop.
The next day.
Zhao Yankui brought Jiang Lin, Blacksmith Qi, and two other old blacksmiths with outstanding skills together, and stated that they would form a team dedicated to making high-quality weapons and try their best to ensure that every weapon was of high quality.
As soon as these words came out, Blacksmith Qi and others were stunned.
It is not difficult to understand how to form a highly skilled team, several other blacksmith battalions have already done it.
But there are so many family members, even if we select a few top-notch ones, it won’t affect the overall situation.
The number of people in the South Blacksmith Camp is already small, and if another group is removed, the pressure on the remaining people will be even greater.
Besides, it’s guaranteed that every weapon can be of high quality. Isn’t this nonsense? Just because your master can forge lower-eighth-grade iron tools doesn't mean we can!
"Master, I am not belittling myself. I can use ordinary iron to make high-quality products, but I don't have the ability." Blacksmith Qi said, and the other two people quickly agreed, saying that they couldn't do it either.
Zhao Yankui had long expected that they would say this, and he chuckled: "Jiang Lin, it's your turn."
Jiang Lin hummed, took three pieces of iron, and said, "Please ask three masters to check whether there is any difference in these iron pieces."
Blacksmith Qi and others took it and looked at it several times, with doubts on their faces.
It's just ordinary pig iron, nothing special.
Jiang Lin took away the three pieces of pig iron, and then went to open the furnace and light the fire to calcine.
After a while, he clamped it back with the tongs and said, "Please ask three masters to start hammering. You can use swords, guns or sticks."
"Jiang Lin, what on earth are you doing?" Blacksmith Qi couldn't help but ask.
"You'll understand when Master Qi finishes training." Jiang Lin said with a faint smile.
Blacksmith Qi and others didn't know what was going on, so they had no choice but to look at Zhao Yankui. Seeing the master nodding, they reluctantly took the pig iron and started hammering it.
"Huh." Blacksmith Qi just hammered a few times and felt something different. The quality of this piece of iron seemed to be quite high?
He subconsciously glanced at the other two people, but saw that they had the same expression.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Blacksmith Qi was still confused. They had personally tested the three pieces of pig iron one by one. There was nothing special about them. How could the quality be improved?
Could it be that...
Looking up at the young apprentice who was standing side by side with Zhao Yankui but already about to surpass him, Blacksmith Qi had an unbelievable guess in his mind.
He did not ask immediately, but gathered all his energy and continued to hammer the pig iron in front of him.
Accompanied by the rhythmic jingle, not long after, the three people completed their exercises one after another.
All three chose to build the most convenient and familiar long knife.
Blacksmith Qi was the fastest. After the long knife was reheated, he took it and put it in water to quench it.
When the time came, he picked it up and took a look. Blacksmith Qi was stunned by the shiny black blade.
"Is it ready?"
The other two people hadn't had time to temper themselves, so they quickly looked over after hearing it.
“It’s really top-notch!”
"Master Qi's skills have also improved?"
Blacksmith Qi glanced at the master and apprentice who were smiling lightly, and most of his guesses were confirmed.
Although he felt a bit shocking, he still suppressed the almost unconcealable excitement in his heart and said to the other two people: "You guys should try tempering too."
The two people seemed to have guessed something and quickly tempered the long knives.
The final result surprised them.
The long knife made by the three people has a shiny black surface, which is an obvious feature of high quality.
"Master, Jiang Lin, this..."
Zhao Yankui laughed loudly, his voice was like a bell, deafening: "From today on, who else dares to underestimate our Nan Blacksmith Camp!"
