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

Chapter 32 Quality Enhancement (Second Update)

The eunuch who took the silver walked away with a smile, and the old eunuch glanced at Shen Zhiwen who was still kneeling below and said, "You should get out of here too. If you do that again, I will kill you!"

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

Shen Zhiwen respectfully got up from the ground, backed away, and only turned around and left when he reached the door, bending over.

The maid fed the peeled grapes into the old eunuch's mouth and said in a tender voice: "This man is obviously trying to use the eunuch to seek personal revenge. Why should we help him with such a small amount of money?"

The old eunuch chewed the grapes twice but felt that he had no taste, so he simply reached his hand into the palace maid's clothes and stirred it back and forth.

With a little force, the palace maid reddened and let out a slight cry of pain.

The old eunuch withdrew his hand contentedly, sniffed it, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, and the money is not much, but if you raise a dog, you have to feed it some meat from time to time. If it gets beaten, the owner has to pay it back. Besides, if a few people don't die every now and then, who will be afraid of us?"

From beginning to end, the old eunuch had no intention of investigating. In his eyes, the blacksmith camp could be destroyed with a wave of his hand.

The people there are worthless, worse than dogs.

After saying a few nice words to the young eunuch guarding outside the palace, Shen Zhiwen walked towards Lin Yuansi.

His face was slightly gloomy. He had just paid out dozens of taels of silver in vain. This was not a small amount of money.

"You old eunuch, you are getting more and more greedy. I will get it back from you sooner or later!"

……

In the blacksmith shop, Jiang Lin kept swinging the hammer and sweating profusely.

Thanks to his extremely high proficiency in fire-making, his hammering speed was even faster than Zhao Yankui's.

This caused the master chef to look at him in surprise from time to time. He thought that Jiang Lin's progress was too fast. It had only been a few days, but he looked quite capable.

Zhao Yankui couldn't help but mutter to himself that fortunately he still had the two skills of quenching and sharpening, otherwise he really didn't know what else he could teach this kid.

Even he was so surprised, not to mention the other blacksmiths and apprentices.

Many people looked at Jiang Lin's skillful movements with envy in their eyes.

Especially the apprentices who have been training in the forging area for many years were scolded by the old blacksmith beside them: "Look at Jiang Lin, he has only been training for a short time and he can already handle things on his own. And look at you, you have been training for so many years and you are still just mediocre. It's really infuriating!"

The apprentice who was scolded felt very aggrieved, because he had never been lazy. He always did whatever his master asked him to do and never dared to slack off.

What can we do when a monster like Jiang Lin appears out of nowhere?
All the apprentices in the entire Southern Blacksmith Camp are extremely envious of Jiang Lin.

As the saying goes, if you compare yourself to others, you will die; if you compare goods, you will throw them away.

Amidst the flying sparks, the long sword in Jiang Lin's hand quickly took shape.

Zhao Yankui has been paying attention to this side, and occasionally when he finds a missing detail, he immediately points it out.

After Jiang Lin thanked him respectfully, he felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

[You have learned the trick of training, and your proficiency has been improved again]

Under Zhao Yankui's guidance, Jiang Lin also gained a lot of proficiency.

As soon as he finished forging the first long sword, before he had time to quench it, he felt a familiar heat surge into his body.

At the same time, Jiang Lin heard a slight creaking sound. He looked down and saw that there was a small hole in the vest at the armpit.

Even without a mirror, he could feel his muscles exploding and his skin seemingly unable to bear it.

The tearing sensation gradually subsided until the heat rolled over my body several times.

Then came the surge of power. Jiang Lin couldn't help but move his limbs, which immediately made a crackling sound. Zhao Yankui, who was standing next to him, was startled when he heard it. He turned his head and asked in surprise, "Jiang Lin, why are you taller again?"

Qi the blacksmith and the others also gathered around, grabbed Jiang Lin and looked him over, and finally asked, "Could it be that you have mastered the furnace-baking method?"

The furnace-baking method, as a specialized training method for blacksmiths, does have the effect of enhancing physical fitness and improving strength.

In the opinion of these blacksmiths, only by mastering the furnace baking method can Jiang Lin become stronger day by day.

But I haven't seen Jiang Lin forging any high-quality weapons. Even if he is a blacksmith genius, it shouldn't be like this.

Jiang Lin couldn't explain why his oven baking method was different from others, so he said, "I've been taught by my master recently, and I've gained some insights. Plus, I eat a lot more meat every day, so I might have gotten started."

"You kid really are..." Blacksmith Qi smacked his lips, unable to think of any suitable words to evaluate him.

“If you were taller, you’d almost catch up with me.” Zhao Yankui came over to measure him, but he didn’t seem jealous. Instead, he laughed and patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder: “Good boy, I have a feeling that what I’m most proud of in this life is probably not how many weapons I’ve made or what kind of craftsman I am, but that I have a good apprentice like you, hahahaha…”

Blacksmith Qi stood nearby with a depressed look on his face. He regretted for the umpteenth time that he had not taken Jiang Lin in earlier.

After everyone congratulated him and left one after another, Jiang Lin finally had time to check his own messages.

【Name: Jiang Lin】

[Level: Blacksmith Apprentice, Iron Body]

[Skill 1: Firemaking Lv6 (Proficiency 4160/5000)]

[Skill 2: Tempering Lv5 (Proficiency 0/5000)]

[Skill 3: Quenching Lv1 (Proficiency 0/5)]

[Skill 1: Level 6 Furnace Mastery, can perfectly control the furnace temperature within degrees, increase the burning efficiency by %, and improve the quality of casting materials by %]

[Skill 2: Level 5, improves hammer accuracy by %, improves casting quality by %]

[Skill 3: Level 2: See the big picture from the small details, see the beginning from the small details, see the end from the beginning, and be terrified by the elephant chopsticks]

[Skill 4: Level 2 furnace method, the body is the furnace, the mind is the hammer, gold essence and fire essence are the materials, to forge an indestructible golden body, the current progress is gold essence 4.7/1000, fire essence 1.6/200, cannot be upgraded]

[Skill 5: Level 1 Rebirth, can roughly determine the timing of quenching]

As expected, the hammering skill was upgraded to level 5. Not only did the hammer hit % of the time, but it also had an additional amplification effect.

Improve the quality of castings by 10%!

It may not sound like much, but don't forget that the level 6 Mastery skill itself can improve the quality of casting materials by %, and now the hammering has also increased by %. Although this is not a simple one plus one equals, no matter how you calculate it, the final quality improvement is considerable.

The most important thing is that the higher the quality of the weapon, the faster the gold essence can be collected, and the faster the furnace method can be upgraded.

This is a perfect virtuous cycle. Jiang Lin held the handle of the hammer, feeling delighted.

He took another look at the quenching skill and saw that it had undergone a complete transformation. Both the burning and hammering skills had an effect on improving the casting quality. So what about this new skill?

There is a high probability that there will be!

Thinking of this, Jiang Lin couldn't help but glance at the other blacksmiths.

If he were to temper all the weapons made by everyone, how quickly would their proficiency improve?

　There are two more updates to come. Please continue to read and vote for me and collect it.

　　I don't know if the current pace is slow or not, but I don't want the protagonist to improve too quickly. I want to take it step by step, build a solid foundation of basic skills, and then soar to the sky.
