Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 259 [Sacrificial Offering: The Ghostly Frost Dagger!]

As the dark, special metal cooled rapidly, the originally red-hot iron sheet and iron table also cooled down quickly.

In just over ten seconds, Chu Sheng could no longer feel any temperature on it.

Touching the special metal, it still felt hard to the touch, but it was also icy cold, and a special feeling emanated from it.

Inheriting the capacity of an iron pot and the load-bearing capacity of an iron table, it became a concept of containment and load-bearing, while the conceptual material was transformed into a characteristic.

As for its culinary characteristics, they have disappeared.

"How does this thing feel?" Anxi asked curiously from the side.

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng nodded. "This seems to be a special new material. It's not as good as extraordinary materials, but it's much better than ordinary steel and the like."

As he spoke, Chu Sheng touched the special metal again, "I just don't know if this thing can be mass-produced."

"It's so dark, let's call it Ghost Iron from now on."

As soon as he finished speaking and named the special metal, Chu Sheng paused, somewhat surprised.

The moment he named it, a message suddenly entered his mind.

【Phantom Iron】

[Category: Materials (Pseudo-Supernatural)]

[Materials forged from the Celestial Craftsmanship Sequence can be used to create sacrificial offerings!]

[Tiangong: It's so dark, let's call it Ghost Iron from now on.]

Chu Sheng truly didn't expect that this thing would actually generate information after he named it.

With the appearance of this information, Chu Sheng also learned the use of this thing.

A moment later, the stone table and the sheet metal disappeared.

Instead, an iron ingot, one meter high and half a meter long and wide, was used.

The material information of the Nether Iron remains unchanged; it is still a pseudo-transcendent material.

While Chu Sheng was deep in thought, An Xi secretly touched the Nether Iron, then widened her eyes and looked at Chu Sheng, saying, "You can turn one extraordinary material into such a large pile of pseudo-extraordinary materials?!"

Chu Sheng glanced at her and said irritably, "What's so surprising about that?"

"You think it's a good thing that a perfectly good extraordinary material is fused with an ordinary iron block and turned into a pseudo-extraordinary material?"

“Isn’t this a good thing?” An Xi asked rhetorically. “That iron pot is only a sequence nine extraordinary material, and although it looks big, it’s actually just a little bit of iron.”

“But look now.” As she spoke, she touched the Nether Iron again, feeling the coldness emanating from it, and continued, “Although this piece of Nether Iron is pseudo-transcendent, it has grown so much larger.”

"Moreover, it can be used to forge extraordinary materials. With so much Nether Iron, you could easily make more than ten weapons, right?"

"Even if only half of these weapons become offerings, you'll still make a huge profit!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng was taken aback, looked down at the dark iron on the ground, and nodded thoughtfully.

He was limited by his own abilities and never even considered this aspect.

Since the information about the Nether Iron can be used to create sacrificial offerings, then so much Nether Iron can certainly be used to forge many weapons.

Even if the forging fails, the dark iron is still there; at worst, it can be melted down and reforged.

Chu Sheng thought for a moment, then gave An Xi a quick kiss on the lips and stroked her fluffy tiger ears that stood up on her head.

"Hmm~"

As Chu Sheng moved, An Xi subconsciously squeezed her legs together, and her face began to flush.

Whether it's her or Ah Xin, their ears are a sensitive area.

It's like someone is operating a pile driver on her.

They had absolutely no ability to resist.

However, Chu Sheng didn't care about all that and picked up a hammer to start forging.

In the following days, Chu Sheng kept forging the Nether Iron in his bedroom, but he was unable to create the sacrificial object.

Hui also learned of the existence of the Nether Iron, and these past few days he and An Xi have been watching Chu Sheng forge the Nether Iron.

"boom!"

Chu Sheng wielded the Flaming Hammer, causing its scorching heat to completely envelop the Nether Iron, producing a metallic clang.

With each hammer blow, the dark iron was heated to a red-hot state by the flaming hammer, and with each blow, the outline of a dagger appeared.

Hui, who was standing to the side, looked on and asked An Xi, "Do you think he can succeed this time?"

Upon hearing this, An Xi pondered for a moment and then shook her head. "It probably won't work."

"He has failed thousands of times."

"Crafting sacrificial offerings is still too difficult." She sighed. "Isn't ghost iron supposed to be a material for crafting sacrificial offerings? Why is it so difficult?"

"Is there some other requirement?"

As the two were talking, Chu Sheng stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat from his forehead, slowly exhaled, and looked at An Xi.

"What did you just say? Say it again."

"Huh?" An Xi was taken aback. "I said that Nether Iron is a material for making sacrificial offerings, so how come it's so difficult to make?"

"No, the next sentence."

"Is there some other requirement?" An Xi repeated, puzzled.

"Yes! That's it!" Chu Sheng seemed to have grasped something, his face lighting up with joy. He continued forging the dagger, which had already taken shape. However, this time he didn't simply forge it as before. Instead, he covered the Flame Hammer with his spiritual power, which flowed into the dagger as he forged it.

A moment later, a dagger, entirely black, with a blade that gleamed coldly at the edge despite not being sharpened, and no hilt, about ten centimeters long, appeared in front of the three.

Ignoring the fact that the dagger was not yet completely cooled, Chu Sheng took it directly into his hand.

【The Frosty Dagger (Semi-finished product)】

[Category: Creation (False Sacrifice)]

[This dagger, forged from the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sequence, is just one step away from becoming a sacrificial offering!]

"Success!"

Chu Sheng's voice was filled with excitement.

He has been forging it almost day and night for the past few days, and now he has finally succeeded.

This is the first, and possibly the only, sacrificial object forged by human hands.

"Let me see! Let me see!" An Xi also became excited and took the half-finished sacrificial object from Chu Sheng's hand, and also sensed the information within it.

Sensing the information within, An Xi looked up at Chu Sheng and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Chu Sheng, I want this sacrificial object~"

Chu Sheng: "."

"Get out of here."

As he spoke, Chu Sheng snatched the dagger embryo back.

"I'm in a good mood today, and since you just reminded me, if you'd like, I can help you upgrade your Black Jade Bone Spear with Nether Iron."

An Xi hesitated upon hearing this.

The Black Jade Bone Spear ranks very high. Although it cannot compare to Chu Sheng's offerings, it is still considered one of the top offerings in the caravan.

The fusion of sacrificial offerings is limited by the extraordinary materials. If the sacrificial offering itself is ranked very high, but the extraordinary materials it is fused with are very weak, then let alone strengthening it, it would be good if its ranking didn't drop.

Looking at the expression on An Xi's face, Chu Sheng immediately knew what she was thinking, but he didn't say anything more.

He discovered something while he was forging this dagger.

Offerings forged from this material will only be strengthened, not weakened.

Of course, if unsuitable materials are added to a weapon offering, it may result in a detrimental effect despite its apparent improvement.

However, the main characteristic of iron is its ability to bear loads, and its properties are determined by its material composition.

Neither the concept nor the characteristics will have any negative effects on the Black Jade Bone Spear.

After all, forging is essentially about increasing the strength of an object.

But he didn't say much.

Although he and An Xi have a good relationship now, he only needs to say it once when he's offering benefits. If she doesn't take advantage of it, he can't blame her.

They have a good relationship, but this is already the limit.

Hui, who was standing next to him, was extremely envious, but he pretended not to see anything.

He was willing to give it to An Xi because of the special relationship between them, and An Xi also reminded him, even if unintentionally.

The fact that he could let Captain Hui watch him forge the weapon without accepting any extraordinary materials as payment is already a win for the old man.

An Xi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. With a flick of her wrist, the black jade bone spear that had been placed against the wall in the bedroom flew into her hand.

"Give!"

An Xi closed her eyes and handed the black jade bone spear to Chu Sheng, tilting her head back as if to say, "I don't want to, but I still have to do it."

Seeing her like this, Chu Sheng was speechless, but he still took the black jade bone spear and placed it on the forging table.

The forging table had now become a large block of iron, but the top was covered with dark iron, which strengthened the surface and prevented the forging by the Flame Hammer from affecting what lay beneath it.

After placing the black jade bone spear, Chu Sheng took the Youhan dagger in his hand and said, "No rush, let me finish preparing this sacrificial object first."

As he spoke, a white light emanated from his hand, spreading along his hand to the edge of the Ghostly Cold Dagger.

The blade, which was originally smooth and unsharpened yet gleaming with a cold light, now had its gleam subdued, but it had been sharpened.

Then Chu Sheng took out a piece of log that he had prepared beforehand and inserted the hilt of the dagger into it.

For Chu Sheng, the most difficult part of crafting objects was not grinding, polishing, or mounting, but the forging process itself.

Forget polishing and grinding; with a sweep of mental energy, the shaping ability was activated, directly transferring all the excess material from the blade edge and simultaneously smoothing out any uneven areas of the dark iron.

With the blade edge finished, the hilt and sheath of the dagger completed, and information about the Ghostly Cold Dagger appeared in Chu Sheng's mind.

【The Cold Dagger】

[Ranking of offerings: 10699]

[Capacity: The dagger has its own storage space, capable of storing various types of energy, which can be released during attacks!]

[Cold Glimmer: The edge of the Ghostly Frost Dagger is imbued with a chilling aura; wounds inflicted by it will not heal naturally!]

[Sacrifice: Extraordinary items; every use comes at a price!]

[Use Cost: Cannot attack the Heavenly Craft Sequence, otherwise you will be relentlessly pursued by the Ghostly Frost Dagger!]

[Hidden Attribute: If you are Chu Sheng, there is no cost to using this!]
