I still owe one update: Chapter 311. After sitting in front of the computer for several hours, I finally coded out this chapter at 3:51 minutes. I will try my best to make up for the one update I owe tomorrow!
…
I walked into this house without any obstacles. Once inside, it wasn't too gorgeous. The decoration was mainly practical, very much in line with the battlefield style!
As for the characteristic, it is that it is relatively large. I think the officers and soldiers of the Beiwei Army stationed in Yanhuang City led by Yue Yun would often gather here!
Xu Kun didn't wander around. After all, it was someone's home. Even in Haotian Tower, this was a real business. According to the layout mentioned by Yue Yun, he walked straight into the backyard. There was a foundry workshop built by Yue Yun!
"Hey, that's great. If you have the chance, you can build a house like Brother Yue's house!"
Looking at the well-equipped casting workshop in front of him, Xu Kun was very satisfied!
"I just don't know how many spiritual stones it takes to build this house!"
At present, Xu Kun's S-level spiritual stones have been consumed, but it doesn't matter, he still has more valuable SS-level spiritual stones and SSS-level spiritual stones. This kind of top-quality spiritual stone is regarded as a god even by Qian Manlou. Think about it. If you come out little by little, you can buy a nice house!
"Let's refine the ore first!"
Just as he was told, Xu Kun took out all the ores he dug, placed them in the open space, and refined the metals in them in the simplest and crudest way!
But this time, he doesn't need to use the Six Ding Divine Fire. The grade of these ores is too low. Once the Six Ding Divine Fire is burned, they will probably turn into stone powder and molten iron!
Breathing out the true fire of Samadhi, the rain and dew fell on every piece of ore!
Soon, the skin cracked, the stone skin fell off, and the oxide with a low ignition point was peeled off first, revealing the original color of the metal!
The Samadhi True Fire hadn't been spitting out for long. Seeing that the ore had no major changes and the metal was showing signs of melting, Xu Kun stopped!
What we have so far is a metallic carbon alloy with impurities, and the purity is estimated to be only 40%-50%. The next step is to forge and purify it!
As soon as he picked out his ears, the Xingluo Nine Heavens Hammer fell into his hands!
"big!"
The hammer moved at will, but Xu Kun did not let the Xingluo Nine Heavens Hammer turn into a complete form. It only increased to the size of an ordinary casting hammer, weighing only more than 8,000 kilograms!
After undergoing the test of the divine hammer, Xu Kun's basic strength value increased by one thousand, and now he can wield this miniature version of the divine hammer with ease!
After waving it in the air, Xu Kun found that it was just right!
Just forging some low-grade metals, you really don't need the complete hammer!
Pieces of impurity metal were placed on the casting table. According to the casting technique, Xu Kun hammered down!
The impurity metal, which was roasted red by the real fire of Samadhi, was about to melt into molten iron. Sparks immediately flew out, and the whole thing shrank in size!
Ding ding ding, Master Xu is busy again!
Although the grades of these metals are all E-grade, which is one grade higher than the pig iron forged by Xu Kun before, with the cooperation of Xu Kun's power and the hammer, they can still be forged easily!
Xu Kun used a clamp on the side to throw the metal that had returned to its original color into a large quenching vat on the side. After a heat wave, he clamped it out again for a look!
Well, there is no need for a second smelting. The purity of this E-grade metal has reached over 80%!
Xu Kun just builds equipment that he can't use. Xu Kun doesn't covet the high purity of raw materials, but pays attention to efficiency!
Following the same method, the remaining E-grade metals were all similar and had their own high-grade flames. Xu Kun didn't even need the help of the furnace nearby!
Just by raising your hand, there is a natural high-temperature furnace, which is more than enough for these low-level metals!
"Huh, it's all forged. The next step is to fuse it into one and start building it according to the style!"
This is also a crucial step. You must follow the steps on the forging diagram, add metal one by one, and control the scale of metal forging, so that various metals can be blended together as much as possible and play the role of 1+1>2!
Even though it’s just a low-level weapon, there are many ways to do it!
Especially this time, Xu Kun didn't have other F-grade metals, and he didn't borrow Yue Yun's stock metals, but he wanted to challenge using high-grade metals to complete this build!
The first time I cast it, I tried to use high-end metal instead. I have to say that Xu Kun is also a wonder in the casting world!
One kind...two kinds...three kinds!
Xu Kun strictly followed the steps to put it in. Under Xingluo Jiutian's constant tapping, there was no metal incompatibility or damage to the embryo!
The same thing at last!
The embryo of the Ranger Hunting Blade in my hand has begun to take shape. The last metal is tougher, which can make the dagger more wear-resistant and less likely to break!
Xu Kun knocked it in bit by bit and beat it repeatedly to blend it into the alloy that was already integrated!
"It's done!"
When no trace of color was visible and the entire dagger was completely integrated, it proved that Xu Kun had made no mistakes in his previous steps!
The Samadhi True Fire spurted out again, burning the dagger until it turned red, and Xu Kun took the opportunity to quickly drop the hammer!
Finalizing the shape and starting the attack is also a key step in determining whether weapons and equipment can be successfully built!
Under Xu Kun's controlled strength, the edge of the dagger began to show. When the temperature dropped, Xu Kun also completed the last beating!
Without any hesitation, I put it up with clamps and put it in the water tank!
呲~
The water vapor was rolling, and when it stopped bubbling, Xu Kun took out his maiden work. Under the sun, the cold light on the blade flickered, and Xu Kun felt a sense of accomplishment!
[Ding, you have successfully forged an E-level weapon - Ranger Hunting Blade, quality: excellent, God's Blessing·Child of Luck takes effect, grade +1, Ranger Hunting Blade·Excellent is upgraded to Ranger Hunting Blade·Perfect]
A stream of light flashed above the newly-baked dagger. The dagger that was originally filled with cold light suddenly shrank away. The entire dagger suddenly lost its luster. From the outside, it looked so ordinary!
Hidden front!
Really good weapons are not so conspicuous. As a weapon for killing people, ornamental value is secondary, sharpness is the key!
Being ordinary is the best decoration to conceal its destructiveness!
It just so happened that Yue Yun's foundry was in a large courtyard with lush greenery above. A leaf was blown down by the wind and touched the sharp edge of the dagger that had hidden its edge.
Without making any sound, the fallen leaves were cut in half without any pause, and finally fell to the ground!
"What a fast dagger!" Xu Kun smiled with satisfaction!
Not only is he satisfied that he can obtain excellent quality when he builds equipment for the first time, but he is also satisfied that his Blessed Son of Luck buff can actually take effect when he builds equipment!
So if the finished product you create this time is not sophisticated, but is of the highest quality and perfect, will it break through the original grade and be directly promoted to D grade with the bonus of God's Blessing and the Son of Luck?
Well, this is a question worth considering. The gap between E-class and D-class is not that big, but what if I cast S-class in the future?
Perfect quality, directly advanced to the ranks of low-grade artifacts?
The equipment created by the blacksmith has five levels of quality from low to high: poor quality, rough, high quality, sophisticated, and perfect!
The level of quality not only affects the appearance of the equipment, but also directly affects the strength of its attributes. Moreover, when weapons of the same type with different qualities collide together, low-quality weapons are more likely to be damaged!
The same piece of equipment has different quality, and the price is also greatly divided!
The most intuitive expression is that artifacts are divided into high-level, mid-level, and low-level. The growth potential of high-level is unmatched by low-level!
[Ding, you have successfully created an E-level equipment, perfect, the casting technique has been upgraded to F-level, and the proficiency is +49]
"It's done!" Xu Kun's eyes lit up. Sure enough, creating E-level equipment can also advance the basic casting skills!
【Casting】
Grade: F grade
You can learn F-level and E-level casting drawings
F-level equipment forging efficiency: 50%
E-level equipment forging efficiency: 5%
Current proficiency: 49/100
Skill advancement: Complete the accumulation of proficiency and successfully create an E-level equipment of high quality, which can be upgraded to E-level casting skills.
Low-level casting techniques are easier to advance to!
For example, to advance from primary casting technique to F-level casting technique, you only need to complete the creation of F-level equipment once!
Moreover, there are no quality requirements for the F-level equipment required for advancement!
It is a little more difficult to advance from F level to E level. The first thing is the accumulation of proficiency!
Depending on the quality of the equipment, inferior F-level equipment can only provide 1 proficiency point, rough equipment can provide 2 points, high-quality equipment can provide 3 points, sophisticated equipment can provide 4 points, and perfect equipment can provide 5 points!
Of course, in the case of F-level casting skills, crafting E-level equipment can also provide proficiency, and it can add even more proficiency!
Even low-quality E-level equipment can provide 10 points of proficiency!
The Ranger Hunting Blade that Xu Kun just created has reached perfect quality after being enhanced by God Bless and Son of Luck. It is equivalent to giving 50 points of proficiency. Apart from the 1 point required for advancement, there is still 49 points!
There is only 51 proficiency points left to advance to E-level casting skills, and to successfully create an E-level equipment of high quality!
This is not difficult at all for Xu Kun, who now has a C-level casting skill with the addition of Casting Star!
"Based on the consumption of just making a Ranger Hunting Blade, if the materials I have left here are not wasted, there are still two more!"
"If both can be made successfully, as long as both of them are of rough quality or above, my casting proficiency will be full!"
Is it difficult?
For C-level casting techniques, the success rate of F-level creation is 100%, E-level is 80%, D-level is 50%, and C-level is 10%!
An 80% probability, placed on Xu Kun, is no different from 100%!
I just made it for the first time. In order to better understand the steps of the casting process, I have to be careful at all times. This is also the spirit that a craftsman should have. Only by learning every step well can you accumulate a lot!
As for the quality... Xu Kun said that unless the Ranger Hunting Blades he forged twice were of inferior quality, then even with the bonus of God's Blessing and Son of Luck and the upgrade to rough quality, the combined proficiency of the two daggers would only be 40!
This is unacceptable to Xu Kun who strives for excellence!
If we want to build something, we have to build it well, otherwise we won’t be wasting natural resources!
Waste is shameful!
Successfully creating a piece of equipment brings an incomparable sense of accomplishment. Xu Kun is full of enthusiasm at the moment and is ready to continue investing in forging!
But before that, he first took a look at the dagger that he successfully built for the first time and was of perfect quality!
【Ranger Hunting Blade】
Grade: E grade·Perfect
Level: Level 10, Level 0
Strength: +120
Physical attack: +400
Movement: +20
Durability: 1000/1000
Caster: Kun
In any case, this dagger is only of E-level quality and cannot be compared with a lot of top-quality equipment on Xu Kun!
But just like cooking, you are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas in restaurants, but the sense of accomplishment when you successfully fry a delicious egg fried rice for the first time at home is different!
Especially the caster signed below feels a sense of satisfaction as having given birth to a child of his own!
Don’t underestimate this signature. For the same equipment, one is signed by an unknown forger, and the other is a famous forger. The price difference is huge!
"No wonder those magic craftsmen are so admired by others. If a group of people of the same level are all wearing equipment made by casters, and one person says which piece of his equipment was made by such and such a magic craftsman, then his status will suddenly rise. Bring it up!"
"I heard that many of the family members look for casters when buying equipment. In addition to saving face, they also intend to make friends with those casters who can create top-quality equipment!"
The signature of the foundry is equivalent to the brand of a piece of equipment, and the brand effect is very powerful!
It's like a saying passed down thousands of years ago: Brand, Baleno~ (Banniro cried and fainted in the toilet~The dog's head saved his life)
Putting away this first maiden work, Xu Kun was also a little wandering. One day, he would become a master craftsman in the process of forging, and the equipment he built would become a hot commodity!
Countless human trialists wear equipment signed by Kun and show off to others everywhere, saying: Look, the divine craftsman Kun made it himself, it’s a brand-name product!
"Hey!" Xu Kun wiped the corners of his mouth and continued to start his second casting!
With the first successful experience, the casting technique has advanced again, and Xu Kun's casting has become even more skillful this time!
It didn't take much time to build the second dagger successfully!
[Ding, you have successfully forged an E-level weapon - Ranger Hunting Blade, quality: high quality, God's Blessing·Child of Luck takes effect, grade +1, Ranger Hunting Blade·High Quality is upgraded to Ranger Hunting Blade·Exquisite, casting proficiency + 40】
It is another dagger of excellent quality. Xu Kun's F-level casting skill proficiency is only 11 points away from being full. For the third dagger, as long as he successfully casts it, he will be able to reach the full casting skill level.
It is worth mentioning that the durability of equipment above level 10 has been greatly improved. The highest durability of E-level equipment is 1000 of perfect quality. The lowest-level and inferior F-level equipment has only pitiful durability. 10 points of durability. If anyone uses this kind of equipment, it will probably explode automatically before killing a few monsters!
The durability of this fine-quality Ranger Hunting Blade is only 800!
And when it came time to cast the third one, Xu Kun hesitated a little bit again!
He looked at another piece of ore that was not smelted by him and fell into deep thought.
In addition to the materials needed to build the Ranger Hunting Blade, this is another piece of E-grade ore he dug this time!
Azurite Ore!
Poisonous blue copper wire can be extracted. Xu Kun searched and found that this metal has a wide range of applicability. Even some casters with superb casting skills will add additional metals after forging all the metals required for a weapon. Some blue copper, used to quench the poison!
Make the weapon itself a little more toxic!
As the saying goes, one sword brings tetanus, two swords meet the ancestors. To put it bluntly, Blue Copper just opens up an extra poison attribute column for the original weapon!
Xu Kun also wanted to try it to see if he could create a new attribute for the Ranger Hunting Blade, which originally only had three attribute columns!
But this kind of attempt, even with the casting star bonus, Xu Kun, who actually has C-level casting skills, may not be able to succeed. Once the additional azure is added to destroy the original weapon structure, failure is reasonable!
"Hey, no matter what, if you always stick to the rules when making equipment, you won't become a great forger!"
For Xu Kun, the price of failure is not high. At most, the process of advancing to E-level casting skills is just a little slower!
Just go ahead and do it. This time Xu Kun also smelted azure ore and got a few strands of azure that were as good as hair!
This metal, which is often used as an auxiliary material, does not even need secondary processing. Xu Kun put it aside and continued casting for the third time!
In order for the third Ranger Hunting Blade to be successfully integrated into the blue copper, Xu Kun also paid special attention to the casting this time. The higher the quality, the more stable the metal fusion is and the more power it can carry!
Hard work paid off, and the third casting time was even longer than the first time!
When it was finally time to finalize the attack, Xu Kun beat the dagger itself and quickly threw a few blue copper sticks in!
With a fierce smash, the originally dark dagger blade gained a touch of blue luster!
After the last hammer fell, Xu Kun picked it up again and put it into the water!
"call!"
Xu Kun took it out and took a look. This time, the Ranger Hunting Blade was even more cold!
[Ding, you have successfully forged an E-level weapon - Ranger Hunting Blade·Quenching Poison, quality: perfect, God's Blessing·Child of Luck takes effect, grade +1, E-level Ranger Hunting Blade·Perfectly upgraded to D-level Ranger Hunting Blade ·Inferior quality, casting proficiency +100]
[Ding, your F-level casting skill proficiency is full. After completing the advancement conditions, you can advance to E-level casting skill]
Xu Kun's eyes widened instantly!
Class D!
On the first day he learned the art of casting, he actually created D-class equipment. Who would believe it if he told me!
I can't wait to look at this Ranger Hunting Blade, which is fundamentally different from the previous two!
