Everyone: Improver, The Entry For Improvement At The Beginning Is Against The Sky

"Forging house, 100 yuan/hour."

"Iron ingots, 40 yuan/unit."

"Emery, 60 yuan/unit."

In the backyard of Wanbao Pavilion, an old man of medium height with gray beard and white hair led Lin Ye to an iron gate and informed him of the forging house's charging standards.

The old man is a lifelong blacksmith of the Chamber of Commerce, named "Li Tianyang", known as "Master Li", and is a well-known figure in the Nancheng market.

It's just that the price is at least 20% more expensive than outside.

Lin Ye thought for a moment and did not dwell too much on the price. Instead, he made a reservation for 10 hours, 60 units of iron ingots, 20 units of emery, and paid a total of 4,600 yuan.

Then he waved his sleeves, entered the forge house, and locked the iron door from the inside.

Each blacksmith has his own forging skills. When forging equipment, outsiders are strictly prohibited from watching. Lin Ye has a secret and does not want it to be exposed.

This is also the reason why he is willing to pay a high price. Wanbao Pavilion has an excellent reputation. Except for the more expensive things, there are few business disputes.

"Another little kid who doesn't know the heights of the world..."

“With so many materials ordered at once, it’s impossible to use them all.”

Looking at the closed iron door.

Master Li couldn't help but shook his head.

He has seen too many young people like this. Every year after the awakening ceremony, there will be many novice blacksmiths who want to become fat in one go and make a lot of money by building equipment.

Don’t you know,

A novice blacksmith, the "Blacksmithing Technique" is only level 1, and has no ability to forge equipment at all.

"Novice blacksmith."

"The first step is to start with repairing equipment and slowly improve the proficiency of forging skills. It will take a few months for those with good talent, and a year and a half for those with poor talent to build equipment independently."

"You haven't learned to walk yet, so you want to run first. Young people today are so impetuous..."

Master Li took a puff of dry cigarette, turned around and walked slowly towards the front hall.

Blacksmithing is a hard work.

It is difficult to prototype quickly.

I think it took him three weeks to go from being a novice to making his first piece of equipment. This was the pride of his life. Therefore, he was selected by the Chamber of Commerce to train him and became known as "Master Li".

As for the little baby just now, I estimate that if I persisted for two hours at most, I would have to give up.

...

In the forge.

Lin Ye didn't rush to start. He first got familiar with the tool facilities, such as high-temperature furnace, forging hammer, forging chopping board, long-handled iron tongs, grinding stone, quenching pool, etc.

It was Lin Ye's first time coming into contact with these tools. He held them in his hands and played with them, but they didn't feel unfamiliar. He seemed to have a telepathic connection with these tools.

The forging hammer and iron tongs are as flexible as his own arms.

Come to think of it,

This is the reason for Lin Ye's "10-star blacksmith" talent.

[You are born with a top-notch understanding of forging equipment, the success rate of forging items is +1000%, and the forging speed is +1000%. 】.

+ Top-notch forging understanding.

+10 times success rate!

+10x forging speed!

With these three talent effects, Lin Ye is undoubtedly full of confidence in the next forging.

According to the textbook, he began to prepare the materials, clamped an iron ingot with iron pliers, heated it on a high-temperature fire, then transferred it to a chopping board and beat it into shape...

After the emery is heated, it is also added to the gradually formed sword embryo as it is beaten...

There is also rust prepared in advance...

Sweat falls drop by drop...

[lv1·Blacksmithing, proficiency (0/500). 】

A level 1 blacksmithing book with 0 proficiency points. Logically speaking, it would be very difficult to repair equipment, but fortunately with the talent "Soldier Killing", Lin Ye can easily forge whiteboard equipment with a basic level of "0".

And with the bonus of "+10 times the forging speed", a brand new big iron sword appeared on the chopping block in just 10 minutes.

Zizzi~~

The last step in the forging of an iron sword is quenching, which is a common heat treatment process in which the hot sword body is placed into a quenching liquid for rapid cooling.

Quenching will greatly increase the hardness of the sword body, making it more durable and sharp.

However, if the equipment has flaws or hidden damage, then the quenching step may not be able to withstand the severe temperature difference and cause it to collapse and break.

Fortunately...

A 10-star blacksmith, even if it is the first time forging, he will not fail...

Along with the sizzling white smoke, the big iron sword was fished out from the quenching pool, and the quenching was successfully completed. At this point, the forging was officially completed.

[Proficiency +1]

Blacksmithing proficiency has increased a bit, reaching (lv1, 1/500).

...

[Big Iron Sword (whiteboard): +12 points of strength damage, improved entry (Tetanus: Infects the target with tetanus virus, unable to move and withstand 400% damage, miraculous effect on low-level monsters.)] (This equipment is produced by You build it, you can name it freely)

...

The giant sword was placed in front of his eyes.

The sword is 130 centimeters long, 20 centimeters wide, and weighs about 80 kilograms. The huge sword body lies on the chopping board, as graceful as a door panel, and is quite powerful and domineering.

It's just that the surface of the sword is covered with dark red rust, making people wonder if this sword is a cultural relic that was just dug out of the ground.

But if you underestimate this sword because of this, you will probably die miserably...

"It looks quite handsome once you get used to it."

"As for the name, let's call it - Tetanus Sword."

Lin Ye murmured.

This great sword is absolutely top-notch. Just the entry "Tetanus" doubles the value of this sword, and the name "Tetanus Great Sword" is also very appropriate.

"continue!"

Lin Ye took a short rest and quickly started the second forging.

[Proficiency +1! 】

[Proficiency +1! 】

[Proficiency +1! 】

It turns out...

The proficiency of "Blacksmithing" increases more slowly than expected. It often takes four or five great swords to be forged before the proficiency level increases by 1 point...

"Blacksmithing" requires 500 proficiency to upgrade to level 2...

Even as a 10-star blacksmith, Lin Ye feels that his skills are improving at a snail's pace!

As you become familiar with the forging process.

About 2 hours.

Lin Ye forged a total of 20 tetanus swords, and all the iron and emery materials were consumed.

"Take a rest first."

"Then buy some forging materials."

Lin Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although it was a bit hard, the sense of accomplishment when he saw the huge swords displayed in front of his eyes was still very enjoyable.

Especially since the family is financially strapped, even the material expenses are funded by Bai Yelan.

Lin Ye can't wait even more. He wants to forge more and sell more money to help his family share some of the financial pressure.

...

...

Behind the counter.

Master Li was lying on the rocking chair, smoking a dry cigarette and rocking from side to side, listening to his subordinates report today's accounts, especially the equipment sales.

"In the past two years, Jiangcheng's economy has developed well, and the business of the Chamber of Commerce has also been booming."

“A lot of popular gear is out of stock.”

"It's a pity that there are not enough excellent blacksmiths, and the equipment production speed cannot be increased. Otherwise, the turnover of the Chamber of Commerce this year can be increased by 30%!"

Master Li stroked his beard and commented with some pity.

There are actually many blacksmiths in society.

But this industry requires people who are patient and need to spend several years or even decades of hard work to hone their skills before they can become an excellent blacksmith.

This industry becomes more and more popular as it gets older.

Today's young people worship combat professionals, while new blacksmiths either dream of getting rich overnight or just lie idle. There are fewer and fewer outstanding talents.

Thinking of this, Master Li sighed, worried about the future of the Chamber of Commerce.

At this time.

A young man in Tsing Yi hurriedly walked in from the backyard, came to Master Li, and whispered: "Master, the customer of Forging House No. 08 just came out and requested to purchase additional forging materials."

"Out?"

Master Li looked as if he was like this, shook his head and said, "I know that this young kid can't stand it for at most two hours, so he really gave up..."

But he immediately realized something and said in surprise, "Wait a minute, he didn't give up, but bought more forging materials?"

If I remember correctly.

The boy ordered 60 units of iron ingots and 20 units of emery, which were enough to create twenty or thirty pieces of whiteboard equipment.

It’s only been 2 hours and it’s all gone? !

Master Li secretly said it was impossible, absolutely impossible. A novice blacksmith could forge twenty or thirty pieces of whiteboard equipment in two hours... a fantasy!

Back then, it took him three weeks to build his first piece of equipment.

As soon as he patted the handrail, Master Li suddenly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and hurriedly turned his back to the backyard, muttering: "Take me and see, this kid must be playing something fishy!"
