Obligations of the elderly

After asking about the working conditions of Gongsi and Datou, Xiliu asked Aqiang to apply for a "waterway" from the Puzhou Fudao Traffic Bureau.

This is another new gadget that is not available elsewhere.

Floating islands, anyway, are floating in the air. If you want to, of course you can apply for it to float along a certain track every day. Of course, it is very slow floating. It is almost unfeeling to live on it, but it is for some people who go to work far away. Very convenient.

For example, Xiliu has set the rafting track of his home to wander back and forth from the sky above the school to the sky above the place where the palace works, so that they can take a gear car from the floating island above to the school below to attend classes every morning. It doesn't have to be very hard for the palace to finish work, just take the gear car and go up, and you can reach their floating island.

Of course, there is an additional fee for choosing this method, but this method is really time-saving.At night, I passed a floating island in a forest park with a huge lake. The scenery is really beautiful!

The next day they got the house, they packed up and moved in. The house was in better condition than expected. Although it was a second-hand house, it was obviously a house that was cherished and used. The original owner should have cherished the house when he lived in it. , not only that, the owner is probably a living family, this house is quite suitable for living!How should I say it?It’s probably that everything doesn’t necessarily have much experience at first glance, but once you use it, you will find that it is amazingly useful. If you look closely, you will find that there are quite a few traces of secondary transformation, but the transformation is very clever, almost the same as the original The design is seamless, and it is not difficult to understand that the previous owner of this house was a refiner.

After the Puzhou government took over the house, it only carried out a reserved renovation on the damage of the house—renovation and repair, but it didn’t polish off all traces of use in the room, but just left these uses just right. There are traces of past, which makes the house look sedimented, but not old.

In short, not only Gong Si thinks this house is very pleasant to look at, even the most picky Xie Kai said that this house is good, better than the houses he has seen before.

Xie Kai immediately led people to start cleaning the house again. Although the house had obviously been cleaned before, it would be more reassuring to clean the house he lives in himself, and also know where everything is by the way, right?

Gongsi also participated in the cleaning. He cleaned the house he lived in, and then the underground refining room.This is indeed a very professional refining room, clean and tidy, the shape of the stove is very Puzhou style, completely different from the old and dirty stove of the uncle, this stove is also painted white, like an egg, now At that time, the inside of the stove was dark, and there was no flame at all.

He went in and checked the stove, and after confirming that everything was in good condition, Gong Si lit the stove with a match, and watched the small dark red flame slowly burning in the stove, he didn't care, but went to the side to get familiar with it. Other tools in the room to come.

He didn't use his own fire. Zhurong's fire is very important. Not to mention ordinary materials, even ordinary stoves can't withstand his fire. The uncle told him that he had to "raise" his own stove first.

"It doesn't matter what material is used. The material is important, but not the most important. As refiners, we are delighted to see good materials, but when we see ordinary materials, we should think about how to temper it and use a suitable furnace to refine it. The fire quenches it and lets it break through its limit time and time again until it finally becomes a tripod." When referring to the stove, the uncle said so at the time.

"Stoves used by craftsmen can generally be called utensils. The old stoves that have been baked with various types of fire in their stomachs and have undergone many temperings are not inferior to ordinary utensils in terms of purity." Of course, the utensils that the uncle refers to are ordinary utensils, such as tools and utensils, and what the uncle refers to here is the kitchen knife.

Although it is possible to upgrade human "tools", for the uncle, his favorite job is still his own job - making a kitchen knife.

"Every household uses a kitchen knife. A good kitchen knife can bring delicious food to people's lives and save energy. I like to use a kitchen knife." When he mentioned his favorite, the uncle's eyes were slightly bright.

This expression made Gong Si a little envious. He still doesn't know what he really likes, but the uncle had expected him to be so confused, so he told him directly at that time: "Although you follow me I have refined some things, but they are not systematic studies, they are just fur, and you have not refined enough things."

"The thing you like should be that you have tried it, and you have tried various other things, but in turn you find that you still like it the most. This is what you like."

"In short, you should try something more first. The craftsmanship of crafting is very important, but your own exploration is also very important. You have the purest fire in the world, and you have already gone ahead of many craftsmen."

"In short, you first find a stove, burn it slowly with an ordinary fire, and then use your fire to make something in it step by step." The uncle told him like this.

So, now that this stove is obtained, Gong Si didn't directly put his own fire in it, but lit it with ordinary fire first, woke it up slowly with the lowest temperature, and then raised the temperature little by little.

There is still some time before school starts, and his part-time job is not too busy. Gong Si plans to set aside a fixed time every day to stay in the refining room, familiarize himself with various tools, and then try to make things by himself.

He had already thought about what to beat: give Xie Kai a pair of scissors.

Isn't Xie Kai a hobby of cutting?His usual scissors were broken, and before he could buy new ones in a hurry to go out with them, Gong Si planned to make him a pair of scissors himself.

This is somewhat different from his original plan. In fact, he still thought that he might be able to find a job as an apprentice of a craftsman in Puzhou. It doesn't matter where it is, as long as he can go in and be an apprentice, he will go to the central city. When he was looking for a job, he also deliberately checked whether there were any craftsmen recruiting workers. He thought that Puzhou is a place that likes "unified model" and "standardization". One step would definitely require a refiner. Judging from their employment needs, they must have a high demand for a refiner. However, he didn't find a similar job in the central city.

Maybe jobs like a craftsman are recruited elsewhere—Gong Si thought, but he doesn't force this kind of job, and the jobs that Huo Nan introduced to him are not bad either.

Except for Lengshui Town, the taverns in any place are probably the busiest places with people coming and going. The more people are naturally lively, the more lively they are, the more news they hear. Gongsi heard a lot here. It is difficult for outsiders to hear the news.

such as--

He couldn't find the reason why the refining master apprentice worked.

"...I didn't find a suitable job again today. I worked on the last job for ten years. At that time, the employer wanted a green fence ten meters long and ten meters high. The most suitable job I see now is Pareto The company recruits fences, and the wall area required by the other party is large, but you don’t need to come alone, just combine the walls. When I applied for the job in the past, the only area they needed was the option of 20 meters long and 30 meters wide. I can do it. Come on, but I have to re-shape, and I have to re-color, alas, I went to the refining hall of the Gong family and asked, if I re-refined in this area, I need 5 flow shields, ah Pu! How can it be so expensive? Didn’t it only cost [-] in the early years? And even if you are willing to pay, the construction period will be scheduled until the end of next month, this job can’t wait until then..." Gong Si walked across the table with a tray of beer When I was there, I happened to hear the conversation between two guests.

The words just now were said by a red-haired man, who seemed very depressed. After he finished speaking, he took a sip of beer, and the wine in the glass just dried up, so he waved his hand: "Boss, have another glass." beer!"

The beer on the tray in the palace was to deal with this situation. He immediately put a glass of beer on the guest's table, and took away the empty wine glass and money that the other put on the table.

However, the size of the tavern is so large, even if he moves away a little, he can still hear what the guests at this table are saying.

Palace family?Refining Hall?Is this the place where this continent specializes in refining weapons?Because of Huo Nan, he knew the Gong family.

"Isn't it very profitable to work on the fence? It's a big company like Pareto, and the salary must be higher!" The tavern is an open place, no matter whether you know it or not, everyone has nothing to say. The consciousness that should listen, if you hear it, you have heard it, and you can say a few more words if you want to continue. No, a man at the next table turned around and started talking to him.

"The salary is high, but they raise prices faster, don't they? The key is the construction period! They actually said that they have to wait until the next month! And all the stores have to wait until the next month!" The red-haired customer spat at him again Get up the bitter water.

"It's no wonder that the refiners in Puzhou are basically all employees of the Gong family. The prices they set are the industry standards. There was competition a few years ago, so the prices will naturally not be high. And you are ten The price of years ago..." The men at another table turned their heads while holding their wine glasses.

"But thanks to them, they discovered a new energy source that can refine the shape of our utensils, so that ordinary alchemists can also refine utensils. Our Puzhou is now as neat and beautiful as it is now." The person who said this was a Ladies, sit in the corner, this table is full of girls.

"It can make ordinary people refine weapons. This kind of new energy is very expensive! There is a reason why it is expensive." Another man echoed.

"I heard that Puzhou and the Gong family are about to jointly increase investment in new energy mining. After that, the price of new energy may be reduced, and we should spend less in the refining hall." A female wine Customers are already imagining the future.

"I can't wait for the price to drop. I have a wife and child at home, and the child is about to go to school again. It's rare that she was admitted to Pudula College." The red-haired man said.

"Pudula College? That's a pretty good college! It's just very expensive!" The reputation of this college seems to be quite large, and the people around are full of admiration.

"It's rare for a child to work so hard. I have to work hard for anything. I can sign for 20 years this month! Once I get the child, it will not be a problem to go to school. If I want to take the mainland entrance exam and go to other continents to see and see, I can also pay for it. start." The red-haired man said, and then lamented: "Is there no other craftsman who can refine me? I heard that there are small workshops that can do this kind of thing. I used to think that the Gong family was reliable, so I never I haven't thought about it, but now I can't wait for the Artifact Refining Hall of the Gong family..."

"Yes." He was talking when a man at the bar suddenly said.

When he was talking, Gong Si had just returned to the bar, hearing what the big man said, Gong Si couldn't help but look at him——

This is a tall and thick man with a red complexion, a wine-grooved nose, and a worn-out hat on his head.

Gongsi has an impression of him. He will see this man every day when he comes here these days. He seems to be a frequent visitor here. He just puts down three times the price of beer when he comes here every day, and drinks all the beer without ordering anything else. Just leave, be a good guest.

"Yes, yes!" A female guest in the corner also said.

"Today is Thursday. Usually every Thursday, he will come to have a drink twice. Anyone who wants to find him for refining will wait here." The man with a bad nose said, and as he spoke, he drank the last bit of wine in the glass.

"That's right, I'm just waiting for him. The Artifact Refining Hall of the Gong family is too expensive, and we often have to wait. Those of us who need to change their appearance frequently can't wait there. It's better to find this kind of cheaper—" Then The woman said, looking out the door.

Attracted by her, everyone in the bar looked in the direction of the gate——

The door was really opened, and a majestic big man stood outside.

Is this the legendary black refiner?Including Gong Si, everyone who didn't know each other thought so.

Being stared at by so many people, the big man was stunned.

"Here... Isn't it possible that anyone can come and drink?" He still wanted to quit and re-confirm.

"Relax! The person they are staring at is not you, but me!" A sharp loli voice came from behind the man, and then people saw that the big man seemed to be pushed by someone, and his body flashed to the side , the people blocked by him showed their faces.

Well……

He is quite petite, wearing a set of overalls with a huge toolbox on his waist, and a big hammer that is quite disproportionate to his height on his shoulders. The person who came in wore a woolen hat on his head , the upper half of the face is covered with a huge goggle that covers half of the face?Welding mirror?

This person comes in.

Although I can't see his appearance clearly, both his voice and his body shape are enough to explain——

This is a girl!

Still a very young girl!

"Little sister, this is a tavern..." The big man who walked in before her turned to look at her and said to her.

"Don't worry, I'm old enough to drink, but I'm not here to drink, but to work." She said, both feet were on the floor of the tavern, looking around, she said loudly: "How many people are there today?"

Gong Si watched as the female guest stood up with her hands raised, and then the burly man with a bad nose looked at the red-haired man who was still dumbfounded and didn't respond, and the female guest was still talking to him when he passed by. Said: "What are you doing sitting around? This is the person you want to find."

"You say she is the black craftsman?" The red-haired man finally came to his senses.

"My name is Hei, that's right!" the girl said, and then looked at the three guests one by one: "Today are there three people?"

"Tell me, what changes do you want to make?"

"I need to change from a dagger to a dagger. I've already thought about the style, and I want it to look like this." The female guest spoke first, and after she finished speaking, she took out a photo from her pocket and handed it to the girl opposite. .

The girl was only as tall as her chest, but she was not weak at all. She poked the handle of the hammer on the ground. The girl who claimed to be black sat on the hammer, glanced at the photo, and then at the woman: "1 yuan. "

"Okay." The woman said, then took out cash from her pocket and gave it to her, then smiled, and it turned into a dagger.

Seeing that the dagger that the woman turned into was about to fall to the ground, Gong Si saw the girl across from her put out her toes and hook the falling dagger, and in the next second, the dagger flew up into the sky again , and then she held it firmly in her little hand.

Gong Si looked at her seriously. According to the routine, he thought that the other party would find out the hidden flame from somewhere next. Only fire can refine a weapon. This is a matter of course, but——

There was no flame, and Gong Si heard the girl just "hum", and the next second, the short sword in her little hand suddenly couldn't maintain its original shape!

fire?Where is the fire?With her eyes wide open, Gong Si was still looking for traces of fire everywhere, but the girl had already begun to shape the dagger in her hand, directly using the widest side of the big hammer as a forging plate, and she took out another The small hammer tapped on the front dagger that was being formed. Her movements were fast and precise, hitting the blade of the dagger one after another. The hand holding the small hammer hammered into welcome, and people could not see her at all The dagger in her hand fell apart, but the whole process took less than half an hour. After the final blow with the hammer, the girl picked up the weapon placed on the forging board, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's done."

It really is a completely different dagger from before!

Although I didn't see what the photo taken by the female guest looked like, but Gong Si watched the other party polish the dagger into a dagger, this... this...

His face became a little strange.

The dagger transformed into the previous female guest. After thanking the girl, she shook her hands and feet, and quietly left the tavern by herself after a while.

No one noticed her, because everyone's attention has already gone to the next customer, the next person to seek the refiner is the man with the rosacea nose, seeing that the red-haired man has not made up his mind yet, the man with the rosacea nose snorted coldly With a sound, I went up first, firstly to let the other party watch and observe more at ease, and secondly, he happened to finish the transformation early and finish the work early.

Its area is relatively large, and the transformation that needs to be done is to change from a traditional Jizhou mainland roof to a gate.

"Your modification costs one hundred thousand." The girl said, the man nodded, and took out a card to her. After confirming the amount, the girl signaled him to go outside and transform.

The tavern can't hold him!

As a result, all the guests in the tavern raised their wine glasses, some of them served dishes, and everyone moved outside to watch the excitement.

The boss was still standing behind the bar, wiping things, staring at Gongsi and looking out the door without blinking, the boss patted him on the shoulder.

"Let's go outside and look at our cups and plates. If anyone breaks them, remember to account for them." The boss also gave Gong Si a reason to go out.

Glancing at the boss, Gong Si finally went out.

When he went out, the girl had already started to "refine". Her hands were shining with golden light. In fact, she also had golden light on her hands last time, but it was not as strong as this time.

The drinkers talked a lot: "Look, she has fire in her hand! The fire of the craftsman!"

"Actually, I have watched it several times, but every time I watch it, I still think it is very powerful." This is obviously an old customer who knows that she can refine weapons.

"You all know her?"

"Old customers who come here often know that she often comes here to do private work..."

"Her charges are cheaper than those of outsiders, about half of that of outsiders. But in fact, she does a pretty good job, and basically no one can tell when she applies for a job outside."

……

Hearing people's whispers in their ears, Gong Si's eyes were fixed on the girl who was "refining weapons" in the alley.

She has quickly settled the No.2 guest and started to be the No.3 guest.

I don’t know if it’s because after reading the previous two examples, I felt confident. The red-haired man directly paid for it, and tremblingly turned into a wall. I don’t know if he still had doubts in his heart. Girls have a little distance.

"Why are you running so far?" the girl said, jumping from the side, touching the wall with one hand, a golden light quickly spread from her hand to the entire wall, in front of everyone, she next It actually turned the man back into bricks one after another!Then, just like building a wall, she started to build bricks next, without using cement, just like that, every time a brick was laid on top, a golden light would flash between several bricks, and then form a whole.

Just like this one by one, after a wall of twenty by five by five appeared in front of everyone, the girl also took out a bucket of special paint and painted him the new color specified.

After the last brush was applied, the girl said briskly, "It's done!"

The drinkers around immediately applauded sparsely.

"Great fire!"

"Great refining technology!"

"How many years have you been studying, little girl? Why are you so good?"

The compliments from the drinkers were heard, but Gong Si's expression became more and more strange.

He was only initially skeptical when he saw the other party's "refining" in the tavern just now, but now he is basically sure, that is——

1. The girl didn't use fire at all;

2. She didn't use refining technology at all;

3. She is a top metal user at all. He is not sure how powerful she is, but maybe she is at the level of streams and scales. She does not use fire or refining techniques throughout the process, but uses Obtain the ability of gold users!Every time he comes into contact with these objects, it is a process of forcibly infusing the other party with his own energy, similar to forcibly making a contract. Although Gong Si doesn't know if there is such a thing, but the energy fluctuation of the other party just now gives him that feeling!She simply melted the opponent's shape with her powerful energy, and then reshaped the opponent into a new shape!

If Gong Si asked Gong Si to say how good the other party was just now, it would probably be that he was good at kneading mud. He could remember the shape the other party wanted just by looking at the picture, and he could squeeze out an identical one.

Really great!

The author has something to say: Gong Si: Her hammer hammer skills are similar to mine...
