He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 225 What Face Do You Need?

The master craftsman from the Northern Blacksmith Camp's face immediately turned red. The weapons collided in front of everyone, and in the end, as Jiang Lin said, the blade broke at the back, which was enough to explain everything.

Jiang Lin picked up the broken long knife from the table and asked calmly, "Are there any other questions?"

The master, with a flushed face, was so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head: "No, no more..."

"Next one." Jiang Lin said.

Yan Tianrong laughed as he watched from the side, saying, "No wonder Master Jiang can create top-grade weapons. Even Master Yu can hardly match his vision."

"Top-grade precious weapons?" The other masters in the blacksmith camp were all surprised and looked at Jiang Lin.

Yan Tianrong wanted to help Jiang Lin improve his reputation, so he said, "Why, you don't know that Master Jiang personally built a top-grade Treasure Soldier-level furnace? A lot of Treasure Soldier-level weapons have been sent to the Nanling camp during this period."

The people from other camps really don't know much about these things.

Although the distance between the blacksmith camps is not far, in this world, information is relatively closed, and no one would be bored enough to go to other blacksmith camps to do publicity.

Hearing Yan Tianrong say this, many masters were shocked.

To them, top-grade weapons are things that only exist in legends.

I thought Jiang Lin's skills were already superb enough, but now it seems that the word superb is not enough to describe it.

No wonder there are rumors that Master Jiang of the South Blacksmith Camp is the reincarnation of the ancestor. Now it seems that this is not impossible.

For a moment, everyone's thoughts became more complicated.

Being able to forge a top-grade weapon and being able to forge a top-grade precious weapon are two completely different concepts.

If Jiang Lin can do this, how high will the status of the Southern Blacksmith Camp be in the future?
Those who did not sign up to run for the position of master chef in the Southern Blacksmith Camp are now regretting it to the core.

Besides, Jiang Lin’s skills have reached such a high level, they have to compete with him no matter what!
Unfortunately, according to the rules of the Foundry Department, everything cannot be changed from the moment you sign up for the competition.

If you want to compete, you’ll have to wait until next year.

Or maybe Yan Tianrong would be merciful and change the master chef evaluation to twice a year, then there would still be some chance at the end of the year.

After this little episode, no one dared to object to Jiang Lin's judgment anymore.

A blacksmith who can forge top-grade precious weapons, and who does so without any secret recipe for the weapons, and only using materials such as pig iron and black crystal iron, is qualified to be the master of anyone present!
They now only felt admiration for Jiang Lin's quick assessment.

After reviewing each weapon, it didn't take long for Jiang Lin to finish his work.

Turning around, they saw that the weapons were not even halfway through the testing station where the two deputy craftsmen, Yuan Gaohao and Xu Wenhong, were in charge.

Jiang Lin's efficiency was so high that Yan Tianrong said, "Why don't you go over and help, Master Jiang, so we can finish it earlier and avoid wasting time here."

Jiang Lin had exactly this in mind. He wanted to finish it as soon as possible so that he could go back and continue making weapons.

As for whether Yuan Gaohao and Xu Wenhong would be dissatisfied, Yan Tianrong said with a smile: "They are so happy that Master Jiang took the initiative to help."

This is not a lie. Jiang Lin's skills have completely impressed everyone in the foundry department.

Otherwise, he would not be responsible for the evaluation of other master chefs. This has always been the job of the deputy master chef or even the master chef.

Yuan Gaohao, who was very smooth in his work, took the initiative to wave and call out: "Master Jiang, please come and help me, so that I can have some relief. There are too many masters who signed up for the competition this year."

It’s no wonder that Yuan Gaohao said that the number of people who participated in the master chef competition in previous years was only a few dozen at most.

There are three testing stations, and each person is responsible for no more than a dozen people.

But this year the number has more than tripled, mainly because many master craftsmen have switched to the Southern Blacksmith Camp, leaving too many vacancies.

The Southern Blacksmith Camp itself also needs to expand. It is normal to have more than a hundred people when several of the camps are added together.

Seeing this, Jiang Lin couldn't refuse any longer, so he went over and picked up a bunch of weapons and began to comment on them.

All the masters who were being commented on, no matter how many years they had worked in the blacksmith camp or how long their experience was, were listening attentively like apprentices.

They were in awe, even if they were judged to be worthless, they dared not complain at all, they were only ashamed of their poor skills. With Jiang Lin's help, this test was quickly concluded.

A total of nearly sixty people were eliminated, leaving fifty-seven people who will be assigned to various blacksmith camps.

Among them, the Southern Blacksmith Camp alone added 19 master craftsmen, the largest number of new master craftsmen among all the blacksmith camps.

This also indirectly shows that the foundation of the Southern Blacksmith Camp is still too weak.

However, after this incident, the overall framework of the Southern Blacksmith Camp was officially established.

If you need people, you have them; if you need management, you have management; if you need fame, you have fame.

Yan Tianrong stated on the spot that the Foundry Department would increase its investment, and more than half of the money allocated from above this year would be used to build the South Blacksmith Camp.

It doesn't matter whether it was good or not in the past. The Foundry Company will definitely do its best to improve everything.

The master craftsman who was not selected was depressed and went back with his head hung.

Those who passed the review were kept by Yan Tianrong.

The Foundry Department has prepared wine and food to entertain these newly promoted master craftsmen.

Jiang Lin was naturally no exception and was left behind to keep him company.

He had already refused last time, and there was no way he could refuse this time.

At the banquet, everyone naturally focused on praising and flattering Jiang Lin.

Everyone knows that the young blacksmith's future is definitely not in the foundry.

There is still a chance to make friends with him now, but it may not be the case after some time.

Maybe when I see him again on this day next year, I will have to call him Lord Jiang instead of Master Jiang.

After eating and drinking, a group of newly promoted chefs left, reeking of alcohol.

Yan Tianrong held Jiang Lin's hand and said in a slightly drunken tone, "When we first met, I knew that Lord Jiang would soar to the sky sooner or later, and it turned out to be true. Lord Jiang, please support me in the future, and don't forget our friendship today."

"The steward is drunk." Jiang Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He just started shouting without any clue.

"I'm not drunk. Could it be that I'm not telling the truth?" Yan Tianrong looked to the side.

Yuan Gaohao took over the conversation and said, "Every word the steward said is true."

Jiang Lin laughed and was pulled aside to talk for a long time before he was allowed to leave.

After he left, the drunkenness on Yan Tianrong's face, who was being supported, immediately dissipated a lot.

He stood up, looked at Jiang Lin's back, and sighed slightly, "I'm afraid I'll really have to call you Lord Jiang in the future."

Yuan Gaohao, Zhao Yangkui and others around him did not speak.

Only Yu Maoming said, "If he can really rise to prominence, it will be a good thing for the Foundry Company."

There are very few people of real status in the Foundry Department, and coming here to work as a clerk is tantamount to being sentenced to death in one's official career.

In this way, it is more difficult to advance to a higher level without a backer.

Yan Tianrong understood this truth, which is why he was willing to put aside all his pride today and even lose face in order to deliberately support Jiang Lin.

As the saying goes, it's easier to get things done if you have someone in the court. He was hoping that Jiang Lin would be able to lead him out of his misery one day, so that he could at least move up a level and get a seventh-rank official position.

After Yu Maoming finished speaking, he also looked at Jiang Lin's back with a faint smile on his face.

With such a person around, good days are really coming for the Blacksmith Camp.
