Chapter 352 Blacksmith is promoted to expert blacksmith! (5600)
Including the villagers of Puteng Village, they were both moved and envious at the same time!
In this world, having a skill means you have the ability to survive.
Especially a talent like a blacksmith who is popular everywhere.
Before this, there was no blacksmith in Puteng Village.
The whole village, whether buying farm tools or repairing them, has to travel several kilometers to the nearby town of Liushui for repairs.
However, in this world, even a few kilometers away, there is a lot of risk.
Many villagers were picked up by wild animals on the way to Liushui Town, or froze and died in the snow on the way.
Their biggest wish is to have a blacksmith in the village.
However, in this popular profession, countless people are trying to squeeze in, spending a lot of money, but they can't even get an apprenticeship.
The poor and backward Puteng Village has no chance at all.
Now, it seems that this wish is finally coming true!
Even if they have now arrived in a new territory.
But this meaning is also extraordinary.
The old village chief next to him said excitedly: "Saller, Bodie, why don't you thank the lord quickly!"
The two children bowed at the same time, "Thank you, Lord!"
Their voices were filled with irrepressible excitement and heartfelt gratitude.
Cao Xing smiled and said, "Come with me."
"Xiao Chuchu, Elisa, you also come with me, I have other things for you to do."
“I’ll ask Cao Yi to come over later and take them to get familiar with the territory.”
The two little girls nodded obediently.
Then, Cao Xing left here with four figures.
Until their backs disappeared...
In the crowd, a three or four-year-old child held in his mother's arms said: "Mom, this big brother is so awesome, so big All the territory belongs to him..."
The woman next to me stopped him quickly: "You can't call me brother, you have to call me lord, or lord, we will all serve him from now on, you know?"
The child said innocently: "Then he will beat us like the baron's knight attendant?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said: "Probably... no... he is willing to Taught Saler and Bodi to forge, this is a kind and generous lord"
"That's great, mom, I like this territory..."
…
…
Completed recruiting villagers from Puteng Village.
Cao Xing has arrived at the fourth ring area of the territory.
Looking at the figures behind him, Cao Xing shouted directly: "Elisa."
"Lord, I am here!"
"Go and observe. Then report to me on the hatching status of the bare-feathered chicken eggs and the growth of Kulin barley.”
Elisa immediately straightened up, "No problem, Lord, just keep it with Elisa!"
After saying this, the little girl trotted towards the farm area.
And Cao Xing looked at Tong Chuchu again, "Chuchu, you go to the machinery factory and ask Goblin Locke to make 20 earth-drilling robots."
"Later we need large-scale mining, these Robots are of great use."
Xiao Chuchu also quickly replied: "Okay, big brother, I'll go now."
After saying that, she also left here.
Then, Cao Xing looked behind him again at the two little guys from Puteng Village.
"Come with me, I will take you to the blacksmith shop."
"Okay...ok...respected lord..."
The two of them are low Holding his head, he followed behind him and walked straight towards the blacksmith shop.
As Cao Xing walked, he glanced at the [Proficiency Crest (Expert)] in his backpack, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“This thing can turn my high-level talents directly into expert-level talents!”
“Soon, I will have an expert-level blacksmith.”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn't help but speed up a bit.
“Clang!”
As the door of the blacksmith shop was pushed open.
Bursts of warm air mixed with the sound of clanking and banging sound came towards me.
Inside, there are still two busy figures.
Harold the blacksmith and his wife Putana.
Because the blacksmith shop has been upgraded to a high level, its area has increased significantly.
It covers an area of more than 300 square meters and is nearly 18 meters high.
So the space inside the blacksmith shop is still very spacious.
In addition, there are three large forging furnaces with a diameter of more than two meters!
However, since there is only one blacksmith in the territory, there is currently only one forging furnace burning brightly, constantly emitting heat.
Looked at the temperature in the room.
[Current temperature: 27℃]
Since the temperature inside the blacksmith shop itself is very high, there is no need to install buildings such as heating pipes and furnaces.
The half-giant Putana is putting pieces of rough embryo into the forge to smelt.
Then he took out the red-hot metal block and placed it in front of the forging table.
Harold, on the other hand, took the time to lift the huge hammer and hit it skillfully and quickly!
"Bang! Bang!"
Heavy knocking sounds continued to sound.
The dwarf blacksmith wore a vest on his upper body, with strong muscle lines under his bronze skin.
Especially the hand that wields the hammer, the veins on it are popping up like winding vines. The muscles are obviously several circles larger than those of his left hand, which looks quite uncoordinated.
Every time the hammer is swung, the bulging muscles will tighten up, like hard stones, exuding majestic power.
Harold hammered hard, and if he got sweaty on his head, Putana would take out the towel on his shoulder and wipe the sweat from his forehead.
The couple cooperated with each other and enjoyed themselves happily.
Behind Cao Xing, two little guys, Salle and Bodie, stared at the various equipment in the entire blacksmith shop after they came in.
They seemed very curious about it all.
From time to time, I glance at the huge forging furnace and the pile of rough embryos and semi-finished products on the ground. Then his eyes stayed on the movements of the dwarf blacksmith.
They could feel that the dwarf blacksmith's movements seemed ordinary, but they had a unique charm.
The rhythm of each hammer is very gentle, and the knocking sound is continuous, forming a kind of musical note.
It makes people intoxicated all of a sudden.
At the same time.
Harold and Putana stopped what they were doing at the same time after seeing Cao Xing come in.
They bowed and saluted together: "Dear Lord, I wish you good health."
The two of them also noticed the two little guys with big eyes behind Cao Xing, but they didn't say anything.
Cao Xing nodded slightly and asked straight to the point: "Harold, how is the recent work progress?"
After hearing this, the dwarf blacksmith had a smile on his rough face, "Lord Sir, I have taken the time to build several large animal traps in the past three days."
"It is the kind we discussed before, combining the tentacles of the nightmare piranha and the vines of the human-faced tree. The kind of animal trap that can be used to deal with some large prey!”
"In addition, more than 7,000 nightmare arrows of three qualities were also made."
A happy smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.
Needless to say, the role of the beast trap is very useful for dealing with those large beasts.
This time, it is an enhanced version of the animal trap, and the effect will definitely be better.
"Yes, Harold, you and Putana have worked hard."
The dwarf scratched his head and said sheepishly: "It's not hard, Lord Lord."
"With my wife beside me, I am full of energy!"
Putana next to me listened. After that, a hint of shyness appeared on his resolute face, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.
Cao Xing also smiled, and then continued to ask: "How long do you think it will take for you to become an expert blacksmith now?"
Hearing this question, the dwarf blacksmith thought for a moment. , and then replied: "Lord, it has been almost half a month since I broke through to a high-level blacksmith."
"According to the current forging workload, I will be able to break through to the expert level in about a month or two."
After hearing this, Cao Xing praised: "Yes, your speed can already be called He’s a genius.”
He was not wrong. It takes a few months to break through from a senior blacksmith to an expert. It is indeed a rare genius.
But Harold was very humble and not at all proud.
He knew clearly that a month ago, he was still a down and out mid-level blacksmith.
He and his wife live a homeless and precarious life every day.
As a result, within half a month of arriving in this territory, I became a senior blacksmith, and even started to move towards the expert level!
It made him feel like he had been down and out for half his life and suddenly met his master.
Harold shook his head and said: "I am where I am today thanks to the cultivation of your lord, including my wife, who is also indebted to your care."
"It's your kindness, Harold. Virtue will be engraved in my heart forever!”
Cao Xing smiled and said: "There is no need to be modest. In addition to my resource training, your own efforts are also inseparable from being able to get to where you are today."
"Now, you are ready to become an expert blacksmith. Are you ready?"
Harold was stunned, with a look of uncertainty in his eyes.
Including Putana next to her also looked confused.
He asked tentatively: "Lord, what do you mean?"
Cao Xing smiled and said nothing.
Instead, he took something out of his backpack.
It was a relatively ordinary-looking coat of arms with a strange spiral star symbol printed on it.
The next moment, the system prompt appears.
[Whether to use [Proficiency Seal (Expert Level)] on the subject: Harold Iceberg, after use, it will directly increase his proficiency by 5000 points...]
Cao Xing directly clicked 'Yes'.
The next moment, the coat of arms in his hand disappeared.
In an instant, Harold's body stiffened and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Cang!" The hammer in his hand fell to the ground, and he hugged his head with both hands!
At this time, Harold felt as if something had penetrated into his mind.
My whole body began to tremble violently!
The half-giant Putana next to her had no idea what was happening.
All she saw was that her lord took out a strange object, and then Harold had this reaction.
There was a strong look of worry in his eyes.
But she also knew that her lord would not harm them.
So I suppressed my uneasiness and waited where I was.
Including Saler and Bodi, who were standing behind Cao Xing, also looked confused.
Everyone waited silently.
Until almost half a minute passed.
Harold seemed to have recovered from that trembling state, and the shock in his pupils could hardly be concealed!
He said almost sluggishly: "God of Forging! Lord, what have you done? This is amazing!"
"I feel that there are so many things in my head Profound forging knowledge! "
"Oh my God! Are these expert forging techniques?"
"I feel like I am about to break through and become an expert forging master. ! ”
Putana, who was next to her, immediately understood what Harold said.
My Lord, I don’t know what method he used.
A large amount of expert forging knowledge was transmitted directly into her husband’s mind!
This method is really incredible!
Miracles are not enough to describe it!
Including the two little guys were completely shocked!
Even if they have never been out much, they still know what an expert blacksmith represents.
You know, Liushui Town, a town with a population of several thousand, only has three blacksmiths in it.
Two of them are beginners and one is intermediate.
Even so, these three blacksmiths can enjoy extremely high treatment in the town.
There is a long queue of people queuing outside their blacksmith shop every day.
Especially the mid-level blacksmith, business is booming.
It is said that even the mayor of the town asked him to forge weapons for his militia group. He did not dare to offend easily and wanted to be as majestic as possible.
As for the senior blacksmith, they have never seen it before, they have only heard about it from the bards.
But now, they have witnessed with their own eyes the birth of an expert blacksmith!
Yes, when you reach the expert level, you can no longer be called a blacksmith, you should be called a blacksmith.
The two little guys were completely shocked.
I once doubted what kind of territory I had come to.
A full three minutes passed.
Harold just digested the massive memories in his mind!
A system prompt appears.
[You used [Proficiency Crest (Expert)], your territory member Harold Iceberg, [Advanced Blacksmithing Mastery] has been upgraded to [Expert Blacksmithing Mastery]...]
[You have an expert blacksmith, reputation value +2000, territory prosperity +80...]
(Note: The specific value of prosperity will be released after the early morning update... )
…
At the same time, Harold also came to his senses.
He took a deep breath, and then solemnly saluted Cao Xing.
“Thank you, my dear lord!”
“Your brilliance is like the stars in the sky, guiding my progress!”
[Because of your generous gift , Territory member: Harold Bingshan’s loyalty has been improved. Because the loyalty is full, the hidden effect is triggered: die loyal]
…
Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing also had a smile on his lips.
With his help several times, this dwarf also successfully reached the level of die-hard loyalist.
He first glanced at Harold's panel.
[Knowledge seeker: Harold Iceberg]
[Race: Dwarf]
[Level: Level 21 (Level 3 Elite Creature)]
[HP: 13772/13772 (Blessed by the Pale Tree)]
[Attack power: 775~847]
[Skills: Frost Hammer, Iceberg Slam, Spin Throw]
[Life skills: Expert forging proficiency (break through the limits and become an expert in the forging field, can create treasure-quality equipment, can inlay treasure-quality orbs, and speed up the forging speed by 40% and the forging efficiency by 20%)]< br>
(Note: Although expert-level forging proficiency can create epic equipment, the success rate is extremely low, please forge with caution.)
[Talent: Craftsman]
[Satiety ：76】
【Loyalty: 100 (die loyal)】
…
Seeing the skill introduction above, Cao Xing showed excitement in his eyes.
[Expert Blacksmithing Mastery] has 10% more forging speed and success rate than [Advanced Blacksmithing Mastery].
What’s more important is that expert forging technology can inlay those golden orbs!
Cao Xing has many golden orbs in his hands.
For example, [Freshwater Pearl], [Azure Orb], [Moonlight Orb], etc.
There are also some gems, [Glacier Magnet], [Dragon Stone]...
These orbs and gems were not inlaid because Harold’s forging level was not high enough. .
Now it can finally come in handy!
Cao Xing said: "Congratulations."
A smile appeared on the dwarf's face.
Including Putana next to her, she was also deeply happy and proud of her husband!
After all, that is an expert blacksmith!
Even among the dwarves who are extremely good at forging, expert blacksmiths are rare.
It can be said that even if Harold returns to the tribe now, he will still have a high status.
Of course, it was impossible for him to go back.
With the die-hard level of loyalty, even if the dwarf king comes, he cannot take him away from this territory.
Cao Xing continued to ask: "Harold, do you think you need to use a few more coats of arms like the one just now to give you master-level forging skills."
One piece The coat of arms can increase proficiency by 5000 points.
Although the specific value cannot be seen because the system version has not been updated yet.
But these blacksmiths have a vague idea of their own forging experience.
Just like he knew that it would take three months for him to go from a senior blacksmith to an expert blacksmith.
Harold did some calculations in his mind, and then replied: "Dear Lord, if it is this magical thing just now, it will take almost 10 pieces to reach the expert level. The limit. "
10 pieces, based on 5000 proficiency per piece.
In other words, does it take 50,000 proficiency points to become a master?
The next moment, Harold continued to add: "Lord, it's not that simple from expert to master."
"Although using this skilled crest can bring my proficiency to the limit."
“But if you want to become a master of East and West, in addition to the proficiency requirements, you also need a special thing.”
“This kind of thing is difficult to describe in words and cannot be obtained through external forces. You can rely on your own understanding.”
“But once you have it, your forging skills will advance by leaps and bounds, and you can create excellent and rare quality equipment very quickly, and there is no chance of failure at all.”
< br>
"In addition, no matter what you build next, you will have that feeling of blessing to your soul."
"Our dwarf blacksmith master gave this kind of thing a name, it's called the Craftsman's Soul!"< br>
Cao Xing was stunned, "Craftsman's Soul?"
This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
“Yes.”
Harold nodded and continued: "The craftsman's soul is an elusive thing."
"It can only be summarized and reflected on forging again and again."
" The understanding of forging techniques, as well as the in-depth understanding and control of material properties, are all achieved to the extreme."
"One day, when the soul is blessed, the craftsman's soul will be awakened."
"Only by awakening the craftsman soul can one be called a master!"
After listening to Harold's explanation, a look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.
Including the two children, they were also listening with intoxicated faces.
It turns out that the master realm requires the awakening of the craftsman soul to break through.
They seemed to see that the door to a new world was opening to them!
And Cao Xing continued to think at this time.
The next third system update will list specific proficiency numbers for each life skill.
This purpose is to let the lords know more clearly how long it will take for these talents in their territories to reach the next stage.
Is it worth investing your own resources in training?
The lord system is not static, as can be seen from the previous updates.
As the survivors develop, the lord system will continue to make adjustments.
For example, now, after this construction week, most of the territories have begun to take shape.
The sewing shop, blacksmith shop, ore processing plant, etc. inside have all been built.
Everyone has gradually come to know the importance of life-related talents.
That’s why this update will be launched next.
However, because everything in the world has its limits, it does not mean that you can advance once your proficiency is reached.
Survivors like Cao Xing and others will encounter bottlenecks when their level reaches full level, and they need to use the Heart of Power to break through.
Master level blacksmithing proficiency also requires the awakening of the craftsman soul.
Only when the blacksmiths truly understand the power of the craftsman soul and integrate it into every forging, can they take a more solid step on the road that has reached the end.
This is true in all other walks of life.
Only by breaking the limits again and again and accomplishing things that ordinary people cannot accomplish, can one be worthy of the name of a master.
Master, I understand!
