Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 32 Blacksmith Shop

You can ask Amber about the specific details of obtaining a flight certificate. In the original story, it was she who arranged the exam for travelers.

Moreover, you can’t use the Wings of Wind immediately after you buy it. You need to practice before you can pass the test.

As Amber has achieved the incredible feat of winning three consecutive championships in the flying competition, it would never be wrong to ask her for advice on how to use the Wings of Wind.

Time always passes quickly when one is thinking, and before he knew it, he had finally arrived at the Tarn Fishing Tackle Factory.

This place is located in a relatively prosperous location in the western part of Mondstadt. Although the Tarn Fishing Tackle Factory is called a factory, it does not actually cover a large area. For one thing, fishing tackle manufacturing is not a popular industry in Mondstadt and the demand for it is not high.

Secondly, there is more than one fishing tackle factory in Mond. Under the mutual restraint, each of them occupies a relatively stable part of the fishing tackle market in Mond, and it is difficult for them to grow and develop.

Li Qiuzhi looked at the Tarn Fishing Tackle Factory in front of him, and occasionally there were some horse-drawn carriages carrying goods in and out.

He stepped forward and tried to go in but was stopped by a person who was probably a security guard. He was a middle-aged man with short brown hair, a thin face, and a sharp gaze.

"What is it, young adventurer?"

Gaspar had been a security guard for many years, and he could tell from Li Qiuzhi's identity as an adventurer at a glance. He probably received some commission, and he had to ask about it out of duty.

"Hello, sir. I'd like to see Director Lucard. Is he here?"

Li Qiuzhi had nothing to hide. After all, this was not something that required a secret operation. In essence, the fishing tackle store owner Sanborn himself did not want to question his old friend Lucard and make him lose face.

If Li Qiuzhi comes, there won’t be such concerns. Just find the person and ask him directly.

"Director Lugar? Hmm. He's not in the factory. He seems to be out discussing a project. You can wait here."

Gaspar, who was wearing a light-colored security uniform, heard the purpose of the young adventurer's visit and recalled that Director Lucard had indeed gone out half an hour ago.

"Oh what a coincidence!"

Li Qiuzhi looked a little disappointed. There was no need for the security guard to lie to him. It seemed that he was indeed not there.

"Yes, he just went out about half an hour ago. Mr. Lucard has been out a lot recently and looks haggard. It seems that he is busy getting more orders for the factory. I hope he can take a rest."

Gaspar glanced at the young adventurer and folded his arms to prevent him from explaining further in disbelief.

Looks haggard? It seems like he has encountered some difficulties. Li Qiuzhi guessed silently after hearing what the factory security guard said.

It is probably not a simple problem to deceive an old friend who I have known for more than ten years.

Letting Li Qiuzhi wait here is not a solution. Who knows when he will come back? It would be too stupid to stand outside someone else's factory and be glanced at by passers-by intentionally or unintentionally.

After much thought, Li Qiuzhi decided to go directly to his house for a "raid" tonight. He should go home to eat and sleep at night.

Li Qiuzhi, who was temporarily unable to advance the commission, decided to go to the blacksmith shop in the city gate area to find Wagner to make some arrows, otherwise they would be useless, and also asked about the prices of some one-handed swords.

Li Qiuzhi walked along the street near the city wall, and after a long time, he finally came to Wagner's blacksmith shop.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
The sound of iron hammering could be heard from a long distance away.

There were only two people in the blacksmith shop, one was the owner Wagner, and the other was the blacksmith apprentice Schutz. He was responsible for the assisting work, thus improving Wagner's work efficiency.

"Hello, Mr. Wagner." Li Qiuzhi walked over and greeted politely.

The blacksmith boss Wagner has a very strong build, with distinct muscle lines in his arms. Every time he swings the hammer, he gives people a sense of stability, and he can control his strength freely.

Apprentice Schutz was adding firewood to the iron-melting boiler. "Oh, it's you, young hunter." Wagner looked up at Li Qiuzhi, and then continued to ask without stopping the forging work in his hands, "Do you need arrows?"

He had some impression of the young man from Liyue in front of him. He seemed to be Duraf's hunter apprentice. He had followed him to the shop to purchase arrows several times.

His name is Li something Qiuzhi. Alas, the names of people from Liyue are so difficult to pronounce.

"Yes, Mr. Wagner, but I need some more powerful arrows now. Do you have any good recommendations?"

Li Qiuzhi nodded and asked.

"More powerful? Wouldn't it be better to use iron-headed arrows for hunting?" Wagner was a little surprised when he heard this. He raised his head and glanced at Li Qiuzhi again, "Oh? Are you an adventurer now?"

Li Qiuzhi smiled and said:

"Mr. Wagner is right. Ordinary arrows are okay against slimes, but they are a bit weak against other monsters."

"In that case, Schutz, come over and entertain the guest and see if he needs anything!"

Wagner continued to hit the red-hot iron in his hand with a hammer. When he couldn't spare the time, he gave instructions to Schutz.

"Yes, Mr. Wagner."

Schutz's hair looked orange in the firelight, but it was actually dark brown. He stood up from the fire and came over to introduce Li Qiuzhi:

"In addition to ordinary iron-tipped arrows, we also have armor-piercing steel arrows carefully forged by Master Wagner, and another type is the quenched fire arrows that Master Wagner has recently developed!"

"Armor-piercing arrows?!" Li Qiuzhi said in surprise, "Could it be that it can even penetrate the armor of the Knights of Favonius?"

"Ahem." Schutz raised his hand and coughed lightly. "The armor of the Knight of Favonius is a little difficult, but it will definitely not be a problem to penetrate ordinary thick iron sheets!"

"Even this is pretty good. And what is the quenching rocket?"

Li Qiuzhi was more curious about the quenching fire arrow rather than the armor-piercing arrow, a name that was easy to understand.

Hearing Li Qiuzhi finally ask this, Schutz couldn't help but raise his lips and said proudly:
"This is Master Wagner's latest masterpiece. Through a special method, the arrow can be imbued with fire elements. Even an ordinary person can shoot a flaming arrow with it. The arrow itself is equivalent to a two-star quality weapon!"

From Schutz's every move, you can tell that he is really proud.

"Schutz, don't exaggerate!"

Wagner stopped what he was doing and listened to Schutz's flattery. He felt a little embarrassed. He simply explained:
"In the wild, some Hill Culvert thugs will use fire slimes to repeatedly temper their axes to gain elemental attack capabilities. Tempering rockets is based on the same principle.

"I was just lucky enough to find some ore containing the element of fire and successfully incorporated it into the arrow. It's nothing."

Li Qiuzhi's eyes lit up slightly. Attacks with elemental power are generally much more powerful than ordinary arrows, which is exactly what he needs.

He asked with a hint of interest:

"So, how much do you sell this rocket-quenching stuff?"
