I entered the game in advance and found that I was invincible

Smith, who was quietly immersed in his work, asked: Do you understand what smelting is?

Long Xiangtian nodded, and Smith sent him a satisfied expression.

Then Smith said: Now you can see that the Jaffa mine is easy to smelt.Jaffa ore has fewer impurities and a lower melting point, making it easier to smelt than iron ore.The ratio of Jaffa mine to coke and limestone is 12:2:4.

Mineral Smelting].

[Difficulty: E
Mineral smelting is the basis of production.Smith gives this job to you who dream of becoming a blacksmith.

The task specifies the conditions.Successfully smelted Jaffa Mine.

Task rewards: affinity with Smith +30, experience +80, 300 grams of smelted Jaffa mine.

mission failed.It is not easy to smelt the ore perfectly at first.

If it fails, Smith will understand]. ]
There is no reason to refuse.Long Xiangtian accepted the task.

Smith prepared the stove for Long Xiangtian, and said: If you fail, don't worry.When you look at me refining, it may look easy, but in reality, it is actually very difficult.

Long Xiangtian put the ingredients into the stove and stepped on the bellows.At this time, a translucent arrow appeared, pointing to the side of the corrugated furnace.

Is this the grade compensation effect?

Long Xiangtian put his foot exactly where the arrow pointed.The arrow pointed the other way, and he aimed the bellows there.The arrows flashed repeatedly, giving him the proper rhythm.In the end, he managed to heat the furnace in 5 minutes, not 10 minutes as Smith did.

Then, a notification window popped up.

You can sense temperature due to rapid changes in ambient temperature.Thirty degrees. 31 degrees. 31.5 degrees. 32]
Long Xiangtian heard that strange but unwelcome voice in his mind.

Pagma's successors are sensitive to changes in temperature.If there is a stove nearby, you can accurately measure the temperature inside the stove]. ]
He put his hands on the stove.

700 degrees. 720 degrees. 740 degrees.].

A constantly updating notification window shows the rising temperature.

a thousand degrees.

据说铁矿石适合在1150到1250摄氏度之间进行冶炼，但雅法适合在950到1000度左右。只要通知窗口显示1000度，他就不用再花力气提高温度了。

Jaffa is slowly melting.Compared to iron ore, Jaffa has a lower concentration of impurities, so its orange glow is strong from the start.Long Xiangtian was immersed in the process of filtering impurities.Translucent arrows told him which direction the metal tube was moving, so he was able to do it faster and more accurately than Smith.

Smith, who was concerned about whether Long Xiangtian was doing well or not, became shocked when he checked the latter's work.

Hehe! Cough cough! Cough cough! Smith was so surprised that he had difficulty breathing.

After a while, Smith barely regained his stability, and asked me in a trembling voice: How is your smelting technology so good?
His face was very pale, and Long Xiangtian was worried that the old man would fall down.

Do you have experience with smelting?You are not the first time?Smith asked again.

This is my first time smelting. Long Xiangtian replied.

Smith looked like he had seen a ghost.Hehe. It's ridiculous.This is a talent that cannot be represented.An inexperienced person is even better than his teacher.I seem to be dreaming.Are you the reincarnation of Pagma?

The term Pagma Reincarnation is a common compliment for a particularly gifted blacksmith.That's usually the best compliment! Any blacksmith would explode with joy to hear that he is the reincarnation of Pagma.

However, Long Xiangtian was different.

I am not the reincarnation, but the successor.

At the same time, high-purity lava Jaffa was also completed.

Mission successful! 】.

Smith smiled warmly and said: "Absolutely brilliant! You are so kind, friend.

[Amity with Smith increased by 30. ]
[Experience increased by 80. ]
Your level has increased.

Great! Level 2!.

The greatest joy is to easily upgrade the level.Once, Long Xiangtian was already level 80.Now, he's happy to have just reached level 2.He's worried about what will happen when he hits double-digit ratings.

bring it here.Smith poured molten Jaffa into molten iron, mixing the two metals in a 1:12 ratio.Of course, this means that for every serving of Jaffa, there are 12 servings of Iron.

Smith then puts the mixture in the furnace and heats it up again.He didn't forget to mix it up.After stirring a total of six times, he finished the process by pouring the molten solution into the molds he had prepared.They wait 40 minutes for the molten solution to harden inside the mold.

At the same time, Smith handed Long Xiangtian some completed Jaffa.This is your first time smelting metal, so I'm giving you this as a souvenir.

[3 pieces of Jaffa have been obtained].

A piece of Jaffa weighs about 700 grams to 1 kilogram. 300 gram of yaffa is worth 1 gold, so for an E-rank quest, that's a solid reward.

Smith, this guy is really good.Long Xiangtian liked this blacksmith more and more.

Smith approached with a sledgehammer and began tapping the mold into which the melt had been poured.In the mold, the hardened molten iron takes the shape of thick wire.He took the wire and put it aside, where there was another mold - a smaller one.Smith then placed the wire over the mold and began hammering.When he was done, he sharpened the edges with a whetstone.

After some careful work, a typical sharp-tipped arrowhead is complete.Though heavy, the ends are sharp enough to pierce through armor with little effort.Subsequently, the completed Jaffa arrowheads are fixed to the pre-fabricated shafts.

Long Xiangtian watched the whole process from beginning to end, and then a new notification window popped up.

[Your understanding of the Jaffa Arrow is now 100%.You will be able to perfectly use the Jaffa Arrow]. ]
You have learned how to make Jaffa Arrows].

Smith asked Long Xiangtian: How is it?can you make it

Can.Greed replied.

Smith laughed.What a great confidence to answer without hesitation.Like any weapon, but especially arrows, balance is important.You need to balance the fletching, point and shaft.If the arrow is slightly unbalanced, it cannot fly farther.This is very fine work.Even so, can you really make it?Although only watched the production process once?
I can do it.

Oh, then I will trust you again.

[Create Jaffa Arrow]
[Difficulty: D
The process of mixing two metals is never easy.It takes delicate craftsmanship to make an arrow.Therefore, it is difficult for a novice blacksmith to craft a Jaffa arrow.

But Smith trusts you and leaves you the expensive material.

The task specifies the conditions.Craft 100 Jaffa Arrows.

Exploration failed.Smith's disappointment.

*If the client is disappointed, you will not be assigned any new tasks for a period of time]. ]
Smith backed Long Xiangtian, giving him 100 completed shafts and a kilo of Jaffa.In addition, Grid has free access to iron ore.All this is due to his extremely high affinity with blacksmiths.If it was Long Xiangtian from before, he would directly accept these materials.

Thank you for your courtesy, but I can make arrow shafts myself.Grid returned the 100 arrow shafts to Smith.

However, Smith was unable to understand the grid's behavior.Why bother?If it's because you feel burdened, don't worry.

Tut tut, tut tut.That's why he is just a junior blacksmith.Grid said inwardly.Then he said: Every time I make an arrow, do you have to support me with the shaft?

No, I can not..Oh, so you're going to take this opportunity to learn how to properly make an arrow shaft?
Is such that.If possible, please support me with the materials needed to make arrow shafts.

Smith shrugged and gave Long Xiangtian some strong branches and high-quality feathers.I was so focused on smelting and making arrowheads that I didn't tell you how to make arrow shafts.I'm going to teach you how to make an arrow shaft right now.

There was a limit to what a beginner blacksmith could teach Long Xiangtian, so he told Smith he would take care of it, and pulled out a thick booklet from his inventory.The booklet is titled "Inventory of How to Make Items".When Long Xiangtian opened the booklet, he saw four things listed in the catalogue.Axes, Pickaxes, Jaffa Arrows, and Failures respectively.It may be empty and simple now, but one day, this list of how-to items will be filled.

Long Xiangtian opened the page on how to make Jaffa arrows and read it.It introduces the production method of the shaft in detail, with both pictures and texts.He read and read for a while before closing the book.

OK, I can do it.

Long Xiangtian was a little nervous because this was his first time making items.No, he was more excited than nervous.

Then he started making arrow shafts.First, he straightened the branches into a straight line.Gently lift the severely bent branches, and then straighten the branches.He cut the branches to regular lengths and cut the tops of the arrow shafts (the U-shaped groove where the arrow meets the bowstring).After that, he finally attached the feathers.

One, two, three... With the increase in the number of completed arrow shafts, Long Xiangtian's proficiency is also steadily improving.He combines his great craftsmanship to make fine work with the corrective effect of the class and the effect is very good.

After watching it, Smith was once again in admiration.This is not a novice craft.You figured out how to make it just by looking at the finished shaft?You really have the eye of an artisan.Your dexterity and accuracy are also good.

Grid successfully completed 100 shafts before starting to make arrowheads. Grid melted iron ore and Jaffa together and mixed them in the proper proportions.He then poured molten iron into molds. After 40 minutes, he pounded it into the shape of wire, then he poured a bucket of water over it.

Chi Chi Ke! The hot wire cooled rapidly and made a loud noise.Quenching - This process increases the hardness and strength of the metal.

Smith seemed disappointed for the first time.Do you even know quenching?

Yes, I have studied various production methods.I am a person who is always ready.

Uh, I don't know what you study, but maybe that's the limit of your self-study?Why do you use quenching when making arrowheads?I don't know if you know, but if you quench metal, it becomes harder and less durable.The moment an arrow hits an enemy, the arrowhead may break through the enemy's armor instead of piercing the enemy's body.

That's right, but Long Xiangtian has a special plan.I also use tempering.

Tempering is to reheat the quenched metal and then gradually reduce the temperature to reduce the brittleness of the metal.This is a trick added to the manufacturing method, which can finally strengthen the strength of the metal.However, it takes a lot of time to do this.This is labor that Long Xiangtian doesn't like to do!
Smith frowned. He felt the same way.Are you going to make arrows overnight?I don't know why you spend so much time making arrows.People who buy arrows think that arrows are one-time consumables. Why do you invest so much in making consumables?

Why do you want to do this?The reason for the increased labor is simple.

Long Xiangtian tapped the iron wire while reheating the quenched iron wire, and replied: If I make it better, I can sell it at a higher price.

"." Smith understood what Greed said immediately, and stopped interfering.

Grid made the arrowhead through repeated quenching, forging, and tempering.

How much time has passed?He was tired and aching, but the heat of the smithy made him miserable.Still, his clumsy hammering technique has steadily improved over time.

[Your stamina rises. ]
[Your dexterity has improved. ]
Long Xiangtian's ever-increasing data really made people feel that everything was worth it.He's willing to do anything to improve his stats.

This.
Damn it! It's labor in the game! But it's also fun!
I will be addicted to labor one day!

Will one day, he also like labor in reality?This is a big problem.He may develop osteoporosis later in life.

dignified! Ttang!
Long Xiangtian complained, but he was still immersed in the action.As his tempering and technology became more and more mature, the iron wire was slowly transformed into an arrowhead.

call.call. .He took short breaths.

His arms were numb and his skin was hot, but he held back.As his physical strength declined, his concentration became more and more concentrated.

The endurance skill of the legendary blacksmith has been activated.Concentration, endurance, and defense will be raised to the extreme, lasting for an hour]. ]
Suddenly, the tiredness on his body disappeared and he felt refreshed.It's about the same energy he gets every time he eats cereal with milk.

oh oh oh!
Alternating between the hammer and the metal, Long Xiangtian produced the arrow.His concentration-enhancing effects are evident in the arrowheads.Probably because he made it himself, but he thought the arrowheads were really beautiful.Long Xiangtian was very happy.Sweating profusely in front of the fire gave him a sense of accomplishment.

This is not mere labor.But something akin to art.

In fact, he has no talent, so no matter what he does, he can't feel happy.In order not to fall behind, he had to work hard.Now, though, he has talent.It's a talent that can only be shown in "Satisfied," but it's more than enough.

Church!dignified!

It was harmony with the hammer! At this moment, he felt stable and content.

The legendary Blacksmith's Breath increases the effect of your produced items].

[The Legendary Blacksmith's Breath]
】【Lv.1
While you are concentrating on crafting an item, the Will of Pagma's Heir will fill the produced item.

All stats for produced items will be increased by 5%.

Rare chance to grant special functions to your production items]. ]
Then 100 arrows are done!
Special Jaffa Arrow].

[Evaluation: Epic
Attack Power: 35~42
Arrows made by artisans of great skill and potential, but little experience or reputation.

Due to the combination of Jaffa and steel, it has extremely high penetrating power and can ignore part of the enemy's defense.

* Has a certain chance to ignore the enemy's defense.

Weight: 0.1]. ]
An epic item was born, so all stats permanently increased by +4, and the reputation of the whole continent increased by +80.

Mission successful! 】【Mission successful.

[Affinity with Smith has risen to the maximum. ].

[Experience increased by 300].

Your level has increased】【Your level has increased】.

Long Xiangtian has no time to be happy about the success of the mission and the improvement of his level.

Epic arrows?

Isn't the arrow an unconditional common level?

I've never heard of epic arrows.

He was filled with an indescribable sense of emptiness.

Epic consumables.Epic appeared when I created arrows
If it was expensive items such as swords and armor, then he would definitely make a lot of money.However, arrows are cheap and considered consumables, so the profit of epic arrows is limited.He was overwhelmed by bad emotions.

Damn it! He should have told me to make swords or armor!
Long Xiangtian began to hate Smith who recommended Jaffa Arrow.A brief moment of admiration turns to anger as he looks at the arrow he made.

You've made something so great before your apprenticeship! Ideal arrows! This is the first time I think arrows are beautiful! You are definitely Pagma reincarnated! Ah!You must be tired of my surprises by now! You're amazing! Amazing! Fabulous!" exclaimed Smith.

When Long Xiangtian heard Smith's words, he cheered up again.Yes, the first project he did had an epic rating.He didn't even fail.This fact was enough to make him happy and grateful.All his stats are increased by 4, as is his prestige, due to crafting epic items.Also, the performance of the arrows is amazing.Are there any existing arrows with attack power over 40?Moreover, there is a special option.

An arrow is better than a level 20 hand weapon.

Arrows, due to their nature, are less profitable than other gear items, but this huge performance means he will definitely get some money.

I'm a little bit lost because what turned up was bigger than I had planned.

Long Xiangtian has the ingenuity skills of a legendary blacksmith.Due to the effect, the abilities of all his items are increased by 10%.In other words, Jaffa arrows have a base attack power of 20 to 26, but the ones he crafts will be 22 to 28.From a buyer's point of view, they should rather buy his Jaffa arrows than regular Jaffa arrows.Even so, they are not willing to pay more.why?It doesn't make sense to pay more money just for a little bit more attack power.
