Douluo: I have a lucky magic dice

Chapter 60: - or -?

Accompanied by the faint flash of blue water ripples and golden electric ripples, Ji Xinghe's first Thousand Forgings was successfully completed!
The forging room was silent at this time. Zhao Tie and a group of blacksmiths were quietly watching Ji Xinghe standing in front of the forging table.

You have to know that Ji Xinghe has only been exposed to forging for a month. This terrifying speed of improvement can no longer be described as a genius. He is simply a monster!

Naer jumped off the empty forging table and trotted over to Ji Xinghe, looking at the Qianduan silver in his hand and said, "It's so beautiful."

"Of course, your brother's level is no joke." Ji Xinghe boasted while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

“I have never seen such a thing before.”

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Tie slowly said, "Although I haven't seen much of the world, I can guarantee that Xinghe, your talent in forging is the best on the continent."

A genius who could complete a thousand forgings at the age of six was rare in a thousand years, at least in the history of the continent that Zhao Tie knew.

"It's just luck and tricks." Ji Xinghe was not modest. He had acquired the basic knowledge of forging and making soul guides from the Bronze Magic Dice. The knowledge that was directly infused into him saved him several years of study time.

And his first soul skill of Sky Eye, Spiritual Detection, can explore the internal structure of metal. This soul skill allows him to achieve twice the result with half the effort when forging.

Zhao Tie laughed and scolded: "If you are taking advantage of me, then I have lived in vain for so many years."

"Come, let me see the quality of the Thousand Forged Silver you forged for the first time."

Zhao Tie reached out to take the patterned thousand-forged silver, and after rubbing it carefully with his palm, Zhao Tie was impressed, "Perfect quality, and it is forged with the dual attributes of thunder and water. I will pay twenty-five gold soul coins for this fifty-jin piece of dual-attribute thousand-forged silver!"

The blacksmiths at the side immediately exclaimed in surprise. One kilogram was worth one gold soul coin, which was a hundred times the price of hundred-forged fine iron. Even if the value of the silver itself was deducted, Ji Xinghe could make a net profit of twenty gold soul coins from this piece of thousand-forged silver. This was a thousand-forged silver, this was a master forger. In just one or two hours, he earned more money than an ordinary civilian could earn in a lifetime!

"Okay, Uncle Zhao is generous." Ji Xinghe knew very well that the price Zhao Tie gave him was absolutely fair, so he readily sold his first Thousand Forgings work.

Strength determines value. When twenty-five gold soul coins fell into Ji Xinghe's hands, his eyes lit up. Forging is indeed profitable. Now the bronze magic dice will no longer have low-end rewards such as gold soul coins. In the future, he can only make money by himself, and this side job of forging will undoubtedly bring him huge wealth.

"By the way, Uncle Zhao, do you have a soul guide workshop under your command?" Ji Xinghe asked Zhao Tie as he put the gold soul coins into the storage soul guide.

"Yes, why, you still want to learn soul guide?" Zhao Tie frowned and said, "With your talent, the profession of forging is enough to support you and your sister. You should focus on cultivation. When you become a powerful soul master, making money will not be a problem."

Zhao Tie's words came from the bottom of his heart. To be able to say such words, he really treated Ji Xinghe as his own.

"No, Uncle Zhao, I have a blueprint of a soul guide here. I think if we cooperate to mass-produce this soul guide and sell it to the imperial military, we can definitely make a lot of money!"

As Ji Xinghe spoke, he moved his left hand slightly, and the storage ring on his finger suddenly flashed blue light, and then a stack of Desert Eagle manufacturing drawings appeared in his hand.

Through spiritual detection, Ji Xinghe drew the internal structure of his Desert Eagle, including the bullet structure and the core array of the soul guide inside. "This is..." Zhao Tie's eyes lit up instantly when he took the drawing from Ji Xinghe's hand. This is a fixed soul guide, and a third-level fixed soul guide!
Without waiting for Zhao Tie to ask, Ji Xinghe introduced: "This is the soul guide my teacher gave me. It is a third-level fixed-type soul guide. Its lethality is comparable to the full-strength attack of a three-ring soul master."

Ji Xinghe's words quickly aroused Zhao Tie's interest. Zhao Tie said in a deep voice, "Do you have a real thing? Let's test its power."

Ji Xinghe immediately pulled out the Desert Eagle from his waist and pulled the trigger at a blank forge.

Bang, boom!
A noticeable dent the size of a finger appeared on the forge made of fine iron.

Zhao Tie nodded and said, "It's powerful enough to be used in the army, but the most important thing is, how much does your soul guide cost?"

Ji Xinghe smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "The gun body is made entirely of fine iron, and the bullet is made of pure copper to reduce friction. The core array inside the bullet is an integrated engraving. This type of ammunition can be mass-produced by molds, so this set of fixed soul guides does not even require the cost of Hundred Forging Metal and a Level 3 soul guide. Uncle Zhao, what do you think the Desert Eagle is worth?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Zhao Tie's eyes. "You don't even need the hundred-forged metal?"

Ji Xinghe nodded and said, "I've done the math. The gun weighs five kilograms, and all the internal parts can be made of fine iron using a stamping die. Taking into account the labor cost and die loss, if it is mass-produced, its cost can be reduced to five hundred copper soul coins per gun. In addition, the cost of the bullet can also be reduced to ten copper soul coins per bullet, and the bullets can be recycled and recast into coins after use. I believe no military can refuse such a soul guide, right?"

Zhao Tie narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji Xinghe, "Do you know how much a third-level standard soul guide ray gun costs on the market?"

Ji Xinghe had also investigated this, and he blurted out: "Even the mass-produced basic level 3 soul guide ray guns cost several gold soul coins. Some level 3 soul guides with attribute attacks even cost more than ten gold soul coins."

Zhao Tie looked at Ji Xinghe with a sharp gaze and said, "So this fixed-type soul guide you provided has a huge market, and of course it also contains huge profits. Are you sure you want to cooperate with me?"

Ji Xinghe smiled and said, "I still trust Uncle Zhao's character, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you."

"Okay!" Zhao Tie raised his voice slightly. "In that case, let's change the forging room into a chamber of commerce, and let me handle the business. We'll price this Desert Eagle at one gold soul coin per gun, and one bullet at one hundred bronze soul coins. From today on, you'll be the vice president of the Beishui Chamber of Commerce."

Ji Xinghe was slightly stunned and said: "One gold soul coin? This..."

"Don't worry, at this price, it is already the cheapest third-level soul guide on the continent, and it is also a very powerful third-level fixed-type soul guide. Don't worry, there will be people scrambling for it."

Zhao Tie waved his hand and said, "We agreed on the division of profits in advance. You provided the blueprint. How do you plan to divide it?"

Ji Xinghe frowned slightly and said, "I'm very busy, and the management and operation will depend on you, Uncle Zhao, so how about we split it 50-50?"

"Fifty-fifty, no, at least eighty-two." Before Ji Xinghe could frown, Zhao Tie continued, "You eight, we two!"
