Chapter 0345 The real intention, reckless operation
Today’s third update: Chapter 345!
Come on, keep on hurting each other, there is one more chapter today, and two more chapters will be added tomorrow, if you have the temper, you will kill me!
…
Xu Kun didn't know that the 100% pure refined iron he completed easily would receive huge praise from Ou Yezi, the number one master craftsman of the human race!
Before he learned the art of casting, Xu Kun was able to forge 99% pure iron with his brute force. Now Xu Kun is no longer what he used to be. If he wants to achieve a good result of 100% purity, he will not hesitate. Focusing on completion, it is also a matter of holding hands!
Everything in front of him disappeared in an instant after the mirror indicated the completion of the assessment, clearing the way for Xu Kun!
Xu Kun moved on without sadness or joy!
After a while, he saw a building like a watermelon shed on the side of the road. Inside, a strong man in a cardigan was holding a cattail leaf fan and a bamboo hat on his head, sitting on a pony and looking at him!
This scene looks very much like the owner of a roadside stall selling watermelons in summer!
Xu Kun almost blurted out: Boss, does this melon of yours stay cooked?
Boss: Can I still sell you raw melon and eggs?
Cough cough cough!
Of course, in this holy land of Sword Pond, this pavilion is not selling watermelons. Although there is a stall in front of the strong man with a sinister face, what is on it is not watermelons, but pieces of equipment!
"Young man, that's great, you came to me so quickly!" the strong man said with a smile, shaking his broken cattail leaf fan.
After Xu Kun approached, he squatted down and looked at the various equipment stacked on the stall. Although he didn't use it, when he saw that the equipment was covered with scars, he already had concerns in his heart.
"Your Majesty, you should be the examiner of this second level, right?"
The strong man smiled. Not to mention, with his sinister face, his smile was quite charming!
"I can't talk about my master, but he is just an incompetent disciple of my master. His surname is Hao. He is relatively older among my master's disciples, so everyone usually calls me Brother Hao, or Lao Hao! "
"You guessed it right, I am the assessor for the second level of this mountain gate assessment!"
"Then, may I ask Brother Hao, what content will be tested in this second level?"
"Simple, have you seen these equipment?" Hao Ge Pushan pointed to the various equipment on the stall.
"These are all damaged equipment. You can pick any one at random. As long as it can be repaired, it will pass!"
Xu Kun nodded without any surprise.
"Can I see it?"
"Whatever, it doesn't cost any money!"
Even though Brother Hao looks fierce, he is still very kind when he talks!
Xu Kun picked up a piece of equipment and took a look at it. This was not the Haotian Tower. There was no data to be seen. The grade of a piece of equipment could only be judged by its feel and style!
After looking at one item, Xu Kun put it down and picked up another one, until he had looked at dozens of pieces of equipment!
…
In front of the fire, Lei Huan carefully tugged at the corner of the general's clothes and said: "Master, if I haven't seen it, the equipment Brother Hao took out this time are all damaged E-class equipment?"
The general glanced at Lei Huan and said with deep meaning: "Take a closer look!"
Lei Huan was confused and continued to look at all the equipment on the stall with wide eyes. His eyes widened when he saw a short blade in the corner!
…
"How's it going? Do you have someone you like?" Brother Hao asked, waving a broken cattail leaf fan.
Xu Kun shook his head speechlessly: "Brother Hao, the value of these equipment is not high anymore!"
Brother Hao said without any surprise: "Of course, I won't take it out if it's valuable, don't you think so?"
Facing Brother Hao's eyes, Xu Kun was speechless!
"Okay, then pick one. As long as it can be repaired, I will let you go!"
"Just pick one?" Xu Kun asked.
"Yeah, pick whatever you want!"
Looking at Brother Hao's sincere eyes, Xu Kun narrowed his eyes.
He didn't think there were so many pieces of equipment on display and it was as simple as just letting him pick one at random!
Then just put one piece of equipment. Why bother and let people choose it themselves?
"Brother Hao, do you have any recommendations?"
Brother Hao shook his head: "What can you recommend about these broken things? Anyway, each one is more broken than the last. You can pick whatever you want. After picking out the rest, I will throw them away as garbage!"
One piece is worse than the other!
Brother Hao seems to be unintentional, but he actually reminds me intentionally!
This second level seems to only test the repair ability, which is also a necessary ability for a caster. From the casting inheritance absorbed before, the old caster who left the inheritance has created countless low-level equipment in his life, and also Fixed countless low-level equipment!
Repairing equipment is different from building equipment, you also need to create pictures!
The operation of repairing equipment is not that complicated, the most important thing is your eyesight!
First determine the materials used to build a piece of equipment, and then use the corresponding materials to repair the wound!
Generally speaking, the requirements for casting skills to repair equipment will be one level lower than the equipment level!
For example, for E-level equipment, an F-level caster has a high probability of successfully repairing it!
Eyesight is Xu Kun's judgment of the assessment requirements for this second level. He not only needs to see the materials needed to build these broken equipment, but also needs to pick out the most broken one from a pile of junk goods and the value after repair. The best equipment!
If you were in Haotian Tower, you would be able to tell the difference between the equipment at a glance, but now you are on Blue Star!
According to Xu Kun's judgment, these equipments are all damaged E-class equipment, with different degrees of damage, making it even more difficult to distinguish the original quality of these equipments!
For equipment of the same grade, the one with higher quality after repair will naturally have higher value!
"Brother Hao, then I will choose?"
"Choose it. After you choose it, there will be a casting table there. All materials are prepared. You can figure it out yourself!" Brother Hao pointed with a broken palm leaf fan. Not far from the shed, there was a casting table with a burning fire!
Xu Kun nodded, and his fingers passed over each piece of equipment without any pause!
Finally, Xu Kun's finger stopped on a piece of armor.
"Are you sure?" Brother Hao's tone was calm, but there was a flash of disappointment in his eyes!
Xu Kun smiled and reached out to grab it. Just as Brother Hao was about to sigh, Xu Kun changed his action. He did not grab the armor, but grabbed the inconspicuous short blade beside it!
"Brother Hao, this little thing doesn't look too damaged, so I'll pick it!"
Xu Kun raised the short blade in his hand, and he didn't lie, because compared to other tattered equipment, this short blade only had a gap.
A smile flashed across Brother Hao's brows, as well as a hint of doubt!
"Are you sure?" Brother Hao asked again.
Xu Kun didn't answer, and stood up and walked towards the casting table.
Brother Hao looked at Xu Kun's back and became even more confused.
Is it deliberate, or is it just as he said?
After thinking about it, Brother Hao decided to give it a try!
"Young man, don't blame Brother Hao for not reminding you. Don't think that the dagger only has a gap, but this dagger is a real D-level equipment. If you don't have the diamond drill, don't take on the porcelain job!"
"Don't worry, Brother Hao, I'll take care of you!"
Xu Kun waved to Brother Hao without even turning his head!
Brother Hao paused with the broken palm-leaf fan he had been waving, and finally shook his head with a smile: "What a kid, he almost fooled me!"
...
"Master... Master, he really chose that D-level dagger!" Lei Huan said in a lost voice.
Gan Jiang looked at his master calmly and found that his eyes had never left the figure on the fire from beginning to end, and the corners of his mouth had always remained up!
As Xu Kun guessed, Ou Yezi deliberately put a D-level dagger in a pile of E-level equipment!
This level mainly tests the eyesight!
Xu Kun was able to pick out this dagger from a group of equipment, and this second level of assessment was already half successful!
More importantly, in Ou Yezi's idea, Xu Kun was not only asked to find this dagger, but also to test his courage!
See if Xu Kun has the confidence to repair the D-level equipment!
Because in common sense, repairing D-level equipment requires at least E-level casting!
The three people present, including Ou Yezi, did not believe that Xu Kun could master the E-level casting technique in such a short time!
But who said that only E-level casting technique can repair D-level equipment!
A true genius, even if it is only F-level casting technique, can repair D-level equipment, but this difficulty is too high!
And he, Ou Yezi, either does not accept disciples, or accepts high-quality ones!
If Xu Kun did not pick out this dagger, then his performance later would not be important!
If he saw the difference in this dagger, but did not dare to try to repair it, it would also disappoint Ou Yezi!
To become a god craftsman, just like to become a strong man, you must have the confidence to challenge the impossible!
Obviously, Xu Kun's approach made the first god craftsman of the human race very satisfied!
The rest depends on whether Xu Kun can repair it as he wishes!
...
Xu Kun naturally would not consider these twists and turns. A pile of E-level equipment could not escape his eyesight. He also noticed this dagger at the first time!
Since he had to pass the test, he had to pass it with the best results!
He was determined to repair the D-level dagger!
At some point, Brother Hao had already walked to Xu Kun's side and watched his movements without saying a word!
Normally, Xu Kun should first conduct an in-depth study of the structure, material, and wound size of the dagger, and then design a repair plan!
Repair is a slow and careful job, so don't rush it!
But what almost made Brother Hao bite his tongue was that Xu Kun just glanced at the gap on the dagger, and then didn't look at it again, and directly threw the broken dagger into the fire!
Then, he quickly threw several pieces of metal into the fire!
If Brother Hao hadn't known his responsibility, he would have cursed at this time!
Who repairs equipment like this? Softening equipment and forging materials need to be done step by step. Xu Kun did this all at once, and those who didn't know thought he was making dark food!
This abnormal behavior, any normal person would not do it!
Brother Hao's eyes also changed from admiration to indifference!
In his heart, he had already foreseen that Xu Kun's repair would fail!
But Xu Kun turned a deaf ear to it. Seeing that the equipment thrown into the fire was almost softened, he immediately took it out and picked up the casting hammer to hit it!
The same rough approach, completely ignoring whether the softened equipment would suffer a second heavy blow due to his brute force!
Although Brother Hao was no longer optimistic about Xu Kun's repair this time, he was still refreshed when he saw Xu Kun's light-hearted operation!
This is not like a novice caster at all!
As a result, the inner thoughts have also changed a little bit!
If it is an experienced caster, repairing a mere inferior D-level dagger can indeed be done in one go like Xu Kun!
But this is far more impossible than making Brother Hao believe that Xu Kun is acting recklessly!
He is only at a few levels, just entered the tenth floor, and it is too late to level up, how can he master the advanced casting technique!
But as I said, the world of geniuses is incomprehensible to mortals!
After knocking the dagger, Xu Kun took out the pieces of red-hot metal with ease, just like forging fine iron before, knocking and hammering!
In the end, including the dagger and the metal used for repair were almost hammered by him, Xu Kun began the penultimate step, which is the real repair!
As long as the metal is integrated into the dagger and the dagger is kept stable and not damaged, it is basically done!
Bang!
A muffled sound scared Brother Hao, who was very focused!
Under Xu Kun's hammer, the metal immediately deformed, and then it was combined with the dagger itself!
After a few hammers, several pieces of forged metal were combined with the dagger!
On the surface, the dagger is a lot bloated, but it has become a whole!
But this is just an appearance, because there is still one step away from the real repair. At present, it is just knocked together with brute force, and the metal inside has not really merged!
It is just a piece of iron lump mixed with various metals!
Xu Kun's movements are very fast, and the speed of swinging the hammer makes Brother Hao's eyes a little unable to keep up!
Heavy, fast, and stable!
The bloated dagger, under Xu Kun's rain-like knocking, continued to shrink until it showed the appearance of a dagger again!
After seeing this scene, a drop of sweat flowed from Brother Hao's temples!
His throat moved and swallowed hard!
With his eyesight as a disciple of the master craftsman, he naturally saw that Xu Kun's repair of this dagger was not the kind of cautious operation that a novice should have!
Instead, in essence, the body of the dagger was recast again!
This casting method has exceeded the difficulty of recasting a D-level dagger!
He is only level 1 of stage 10, how is it possible for him to... master such advanced casting skills!
