Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 95: Poor Dingdang
As soon as these words were spoken, the three blacksmiths' faces were all beaming with joy. As blacksmiths, it was undoubtedly the highest honor to receive such an evaluation.

Cheng Liang shouted, "Brother, what are we waiting for? Let the three masters forge the weapons for us brothers!"

"Yeah, yeah, I can't wait, little brother!"

Zhu Ye was also shouting on the side, and Guan Yu, Zhang Yong and Ye Xiang also looked expectant.

Not only them, but even the three masters themselves seemed eager to try.

The prestige of Liu He and his companions among the villagers is very high. They are absolutely young heroes, unparalleled in the world. Being able to forge weapons for them with their own hands, when these heroes become famous in the world in the future, the three of them will also be honored to participate.

Liu He was not in a hurry.

"I wonder how long it would take the three of you to forge a long weapon like the one my brothers use, given your current abilities?"

The three of them looked at each other, and then Pude said, "We are now very familiar with this forging technique, and the speed is bound to be faster than the beginning. However, long weapons require more effort than daggers. If it is an ordinary spear or halberd, the three of us are confident that we can forge a weapon as sharp as this dagger every half a month."

Liu He nodded. He originally wanted to exchange the "Compendium of Analysis and Improved Forging Atlas of Various Types of Armor", "Forging Atlas of the King of Soldiers", and "Forging Atlas of the King of Armor" in order to create a batch of King of Soldiers and King of Armor for himself as soon as possible.

It's just that I'm really short of money. Even if I count the points I just got, I only have 393 points, which is not enough to exchange for these three items, not to mention that I have a lot of things waiting to be exchanged.

"With the current strength of our group, there aren't many who can threaten us. Well... we have no choice but to put the armor-making process on hold and upgrade our weapons first."

Liu He made up his mind and turned to the three masters and said, "Three gentlemen, and all the brothers, please don't worry. I have something that can help the three masters' casting skills to a higher level. Once you master this technology, the weapons you forge for us will definitely be better than this dagger."

The three of them heard this, their eyes lit up, and they quickly stared at Liu He and asked, "Young Master Liu is a remarkable man! All of us have achieved what we have today thanks to your grace. Now that you have given us a treasure, we will do our best. As long as we can forge a peerless magic weapon, it will be worth it even if it costs us our lives!"

Looking at the determined expressions of the three people, Liu He reaffirmed his thoughts.

"You three are too polite. This thing is still at home. Please wait for a moment. I will be back soon!"

After saying this, Liu He didn't stop, but got on his horse and galloped towards home.

"System Boss, exchange the "Soldier King Forging Atlas" and put it on my bookshelf!"

"Ding! Redemption successful, a total of 200 points consumed!"

There weren't many points left to begin with, and Liu He felt a little painful after spending 200 points.

But even though he felt sad, Liu He did not hesitate, because it was truly worth it!

Liu He ran back to his room and found a thick picture album on the bookshelf.

"Haha, it's you!"

Liu He took the album, mounted his horse and left again, leaving Xu and Zhang Yu somewhat confused.

After returning to the valley, Liu Hefei dismounted and handed the atlas to the three people who were eagerly waiting. Without even saying thank you, the three people could not wait to open the atlas and read it, until their six eyes became brighter and their breathing became heavier.

"Oh my, it can actually be like this... This kind of magical skill must have been created by a god... Oh my, it's amazing, so amazing, it's simply perfect..."

The three of them flipped through the album and sighed, which made Liu He, Guan Yu and others beside them very eager. They all wanted to know what was recorded in the album and what kind of magical weapons could be made from it, but they didn't want to make any noise for fear of interrupting the three people's thoughts.

After a long time, the three finally came to their senses, but the shock and excitement on their faces were still obvious.

"Master Liu, the contents of this atlas are incredible. They seem absurd, but upon closer examination, they are all reasonable. They are truly the work of gods and ghosts! Let us go back and study them carefully. Once we succeed in forging a weapon with them, it will surely be a treasure that will shock the world!"

Guan Yu and others were also infected by the three people's words. They were breathing heavily, with red faces and thick necks.

Liu He frowned slightly and asked, "How long will this take?"

It is now the spring of 183 AD. If the historical line has not been changed, Zhang Jue would have already begun planning to raise an army, but was then informed by his disciple Tang Zhou and was forced to move up the plan to February of the next year, which is only about ten months away from now.

Once the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, it was estimated that it would soon spread to Bingzhou. By then, the world would be in chaos and no one would be able to predict how the situation would change afterwards, so we had to make adequate preparations as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Pu De's answer dispelled Liu He's doubts: "Don't worry, Master Liu. The contents of this atlas are consistent with the methods in the books you gave me before, so it shouldn't be difficult to master. What's more, we have enough ore to verify it. As long as you are not afraid of wasting ore, we will do it. I estimate that in two or three months at the fastest, or half a year at the slowest, we will definitely achieve something!"

"Good!" Liu He couldn't help clapping his hands and shouting excitedly.

"I hope the three of you will not refuse to work hard and spend more time with me. When the day comes, I will never forget it!"

Liu He bowed respectfully to the three men, who all said they dared not do that.

"The lives of the three of us were saved by you heroes. Moreover, we have the chance to witness such a forging skill in our lifetime, so how dare we waste it? Please don't see us off. We will go back now and forge a stronger magic weapon as soon as possible!"

After saying that, the three of them, with excitement on their faces, hurried back.

Liu He and others saw the hope of obtaining the magic weapon they needed, and they were all full of fighting spirit. After seeing the dagger inserted into the stone, the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Anmin Army were also extremely surprised, and they trained harder afterwards. Everyone fantasized about performing better so that they could get such a magic weapon as a reward sooner.

After a day of training, Liu He and his companions returned home with excitement and fatigue. Xu and Zhang Yu had already prepared a sumptuous dinner. Liu He and his companions, who were already starving, were salivating.

While eating, Liu Qian discussed some trivial matters with Liu He.

"Over the past six months, the thousands of medicinal herbs that your ancestors gave you to plant in the mountain stream have grown very well under the careful care of Mr. Xu and others, and hundreds of new plants have been bred. We will keep 70% for the villagers and the Anmin Army, and the remaining 30% will be sold in the county town in a few days, and then we will buy more seeds and other necessities of life. He'er, is there anything that the army needs to buy?"

Liu He was about to speak when Zhu Ye spoke first: "Of course we have food, and we have a small amount of armor. Also, the most lacking thing is probably war horses, but these things are too expensive."

"Yes, a good war horse can easily cost 30,000 to 40,000 or even 60,000 to 70,000 coins. After deducting some necessary expenses from our annual income, the remaining money is barely enough to buy one. It's a drop in the bucket."

Zhang Yong sighed along with the others, and they also showed a hint of regret on their faces.
