Infinite Anecdotes

Up to now, Tang Cheng will not say anything surprising. From the perspective of Aliya's current worth and status, it is not too difficult to get such three five-star weapons, especially when she fights with craftsmen herself. Now that the foundation has been established and it is integrated with its own interest network, many craftsmen "come here for fame".The past situation of losing money and making money is gone forever, and now many craftsmen, for fame or profit, instead curry favor with Alia, hoping to give them a chance to show off.This point, even some long-established artisans are no exception, who makes Aliya's shop very popular now.

So regardless of other things, at least Tang Cheng's original "investment" can now see excess returns.

As for the quality, let him test the results

There is no doubt that the three daggers presented to Tang Cheng by Alia at this moment are impeccable in terms of appearance and panel values, and they must have been checked by Alia before they were presented. There is no doubt that they are all made in line with Tang Cheng's requirements, but it can be seen that because they are made by different craftsmen, there are still subtle differences in design styles and concepts.

The three daggers are roughly the same size, but their colors are slightly different. One is red all over, as bright and eye-catching as Nero's meteorite scorpion. By the way, this dagger has a blood groove design that Tang Cheng likes quite a lot , and has been strengthened in detail.One is covered in azure blue like the former one, with a blue light on the blade, which makes it easy to judge its sharpness. As for the third one, it looks more ordinary, without any decorations. , and no texture, but light, surprisingly light, and even so, its hardness is not inferior to the other two daggers, it seems that Tang Cheng's phrase "pay attention to practicality" has really been carried out to the bone .

From Tang Cheng's point of view, these three daggers have their own merits, and they are all good daggers.He looked up at Aliya, smiled and said, "You have a heart."

This sentence is not a compliment at all, because the material and workmanship of the weapon are all first-class, and you don’t even think that one of the daggers doesn’t even have a decoration, but just kidding, you can make a 5-star quality craftsman, He is already a master himself, and it is easy for him to carve and paint. On the contrary, he does not add embellishments like this, which makes people see the unique beauty of cold weapons.

Of course, it does not mean that the other two paints are not good. This kind of appearance can only show the style and preference of the craftsman at most, and does not affect Tang Cheng's judgment, so the most important thing is their actual ability.

"To be honest, three daggers are pretty good, but two of this kind of weapon are too much to carry, so we have no choice but to choose one of them."

Because unlike cards, which can be freely accessed according to ideas, these blades must be worn on the body. Carrying too much is not conducive to action. The pragmatic Tang Cheng will not carry useless embellishments just because things are good, so It is inevitable to choose the most suitable one among them.

And the same is true of Alia.

"You have to pick the ones that suit you best, because that's what they're worth."

Tang Cheng suddenly noticed that besides Alia's eyes, there was another ray of realization locked on this side. This person Tang Cheng also knew, it might be better to say that it was he and Alia who drew him here at the beginning.

The name of the craftsman is Abel. A year ago, he was still a down-and-out craftsman who was struggling on the line of food and clothing and couldn't even afford to eat. Now he has turned himself into a top-notch craftsman in Shanghai.After all, for a craftsman, the most important thing is not how talented you are, but where you can display your talent.If you don't even have a material for making weapons, no matter how talented you are, it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice.The thorny environment that restricted this in the past has now been broken by the organization run by Alia. Therefore, talented craftsmen can now break through the shackles and stand out.

Especially people like Abel, who lacked opportunities and were used to suffering, cherish the opportunities in front of them more than those who have had smooth sailing in the past.

Looking at the other party's eager eyes, Tang Cheng couldn't help but smile: "Could it be that your work is also among these three daggers?"

Abel nodded.

For this custom work, after Abel knew about it, he came here with the mentality of reciprocating. He not only wanted to prove his ability, but also gave this ability as a reward to those who were willing to support and appreciate him.

"Really?" Tang Cheng praised: "It seems that you have made great progress this year."

"Boss and the proprietress gave the opportunity." Probably influenced by Xiao Xiao in the store, Abel also believed that Tang Cheng was the boss who controlled everything behind the scenes. Tang Cheng was too lazy to explain this misunderstanding.

"Let me take a guess, this is the one you designed, right?" Tang Cheng picked out the blue painted dagger from the three daggers, weighed it in his hand and asked.

"Yes." Abel was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

"Good weapons have souls like people, and the encouragement of the people who forged them is like a brand, filling their souls. Your personal style is everywhere on this dagger, so I can see it at a glance. Come out. Don't forget, it was because I admired your style that I found you with Alia."

Abel's eyes lit up.

Just when he was about to say something polite about it, Tang Cheng changed the subject: "But I have to say, there is still room for improvement."

After saying this, Tang Cheng grabbed the other dagger in front of him with his backhand, and drew a line that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye on the blade, directly cutting off the dagger made by Abel.

"How could it be!" Abel exclaimed in surprise.

But Aliya's expression remained the same, and she was not moved by the large amount of material cost. Instead, she thought of something and stretched out her hand to press her waist.There is a dagger hidden there, only 2-star quality daggers.To be honest, as a weapon to enter the reincarnation script, Aliya does not use this one, but a higher position and more suitable for her, but this blade is of great significance to her, and she is not willing to discard it.

If you have to say it, it might allow her to gain strength from the fetters, like a talisman.

Thinking in this way, Aliya looked up at the man beside her, and Tang Cheng's expression in her eyes didn't fluctuate with this result, she just told the result flatly: "You don't have to be surprised, the gap is not really that big, It's just that I took advantage of one of the weakest flaws in your knife and used all my strength to do it. It's like a fist punch, bursting out several attacks at one point. It's almost impossible for this to happen in actual combat, but you have to admit it , as a master-level craftsman, shouldn't the level 5 weapons he created not have this fatal weakness?"

"... [-]" Abel's face revealed a strong unwillingness, but he was irrefutable in the face of the facts.In the end, I could only swallow the bitter fruit of failure: "I understand, please, please give me another chance."

"I remember you signed a long-term contract, right?" Tang Chengfeng asked irrelevantly.

Abel nodded honestly: "Yes."

There was cold sweat running down his face, could it be that the BOSS wanted to fire him because of his mistake?

He was so apprehensive, but his pride as a craftsman did not allow him to speak out in defense of himself at this moment.

However, it doesn't seem to be what he imagined.

"Then, be happy, you still have a chance to avenge your shame, but if you don't figure out your crux, being reckless is just a waste of materials, reflect on it, and move on. I look forward to your future actions. Much better work."

"Yes, yes, I am very grateful...I will definitely make a work that will impress you!" After leaving such a sentence, Abel left the boss and the boss's wife in the same place, and ran away without looking back. , which made Aliya feel embarrassed for him, and explained to Tang Cheng: "He is usually very attentive, but when it comes to work, he gets hot-headed and can't take care of anything..."

"It's understandable," Tang Cheng comforted Alia with a smile instead, "If craftsmen are too philistine, they will become the same as those guys who only make flashy things full of copper smell. , I still like this kind of straightforward and self-motivated guy."

Having said that, Tang Cheng picked up the remaining two: "Compared to this, the craftsmanship of these two is much more mature. Even if the winner is determined by the method just now, it is probably the result of both sides' losses."

The red one with the blood tank is Tang Cheng's favorite design, and the other one is faster in terms of toughness and speed.

Tang Cheng picked up the two weapons and looked at them, and tried to swing them again. The metal blocks used to test the knives could not withstand Tang Cheng's blow at all, but it was true, after all, Tang Chenglian was also a 5-star dagger just now. Cutting these ordinary irons is really no different from cutting butter. Alia looked at Tang Chengsi who was in such a dilemma; "What does the master think of these two weapons?

"Well, very good." Tang Cheng smiled, then picked up the red one and said, "As I said just now, the weapon has a strong style of the maker, and the feeling of holding this dagger is similar to what I used before. The one you own is exactly the same, is it the same person?"

Aliya nodded: "Yes, Master Las was also very excited when he saw the dagger before. It was his work when he was young. I didn't expect someone to use it now. After listening to your request, he made it for you. You created this dagger alone, and its name is the Soul of Flame."

"Soul of Lie Yan, this dagger is indeed more convenient than the one in the past." Tang Cheng turned it over with his fingers, and the blade quickly turned out several flowers in his palm: "The other one."

"This one hasn't been named yet, Master Rekroda said you can do whatever you want."

Recloda! ?

When Tang Cheng heard this name, he was slightly taken aback.

Because it is different from the previous newly promoted Abel, who is still very skilled but not well-known, it is estimated that as long as the entire magic city is engaged in occupations related to the reincarnation script, there will be no strangers to the reputation of Rekroda.He is a rare top craftsman with a good reputation and word of mouth. Even Tang Cheng, who has no interest in other people, is familiar with his name.

Then some people may ask, in this case, why did Tang Cheng not hold the weapon of this master? The answer is very simple, this is the same as most of the 5-star cards, which have a price but no market, and what is even more exaggerated is , as long as you spend enough money on black market auctions for 5-star cards, you can still get them, but the weapons of this guy like Rekroda can only be reckoned with. He only makes 3 weapons a year. You know, money alone is not enough, you have to have connections to be able to book.
