Chapter 268 The Sentimental Appraiser
Ouyang Ming looked at the people below with piercing eyes. He finally had a general understanding of the average level of blacksmiths in the capital.
Here, the proportion of senior blacksmiths is definitely not high, and being able to become an intermediate blacksmith is already quite a good thing. However, compared to the Lin Haijun Camp, the level of forging here is completely superior.
Although the old craftsman can also forge high-quality equipment, and has the unique skill of superimposing special attributes. However, he used to be at most the level of a senior blacksmith. Moreover, as he got older, his hands, feet and eyes gradually became uncoordinated, and he couldn't see it when forging low-level equipment, but when forging high-level equipment, there would often be obvious inexplicable mistakes.
Of course, after obtaining the life-extending golden elixir, increasing the lifespan, and breaking through the realm of the unity of man and nature in the forging technique, there was an earth-shaking change immediately.
If the old craftsman at this time came to the capital for the blacksmith assessment, just relying on the realm of the unity of man and nature would be enough to obtain a first-class title.
However, with the exception of the old craftsman, even at their peak, the rest of them can only hang out with an intermediate title at most.
I want to forge a complete set of high-quality equipment within an hour, and successfully add special attributes to one of them.
Looking at the Lin Haijun camp, there is no one who can do it.
Jin Shengjie led Yi Yucheng and Feng Guangyuan into the center of the square. Ouyang Ming hesitated for a moment, and then followed suit. After all, he is a person participating in the assessment, and even the examiner has gone down, so he can't still hang around here.
Jin Shengjie glanced at the casting platform where Ouyang Ming was just now, just when everyone thought that he would start from there, his body suddenly turned around and walked towards the opposite place.
While everyone cried out in their hearts that it was a pity, they also felt a sense of relaxation.
Jin Shengjie stood in front of more than ten blacksmiths,
He said in a deep voice, "If you don't pass, go out by yourself." He paused, and then said: "Keep working hard and strive for success next time."
The three unfinished blacksmiths saluted him with shame on their faces, bowed their heads and left.
However, no one dared to laugh at them, whether on or off the court.
Because those who have the courage to participate in the senior blacksmith assessment are basically top intermediate blacksmiths. They are the real backbone in the capital, even if they are powerful forces, they are not willing to offend them because of some trivial matters.
Jin Shengjie reached out and picked up a long sword from a casting table.
The requirement of the advanced assessment is to forge a complete set of equipment, but it does not specify what the weapon is.
Ou Yangming can certainly forge sabers, but this person can forge long swords as well.
He held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time. Under the anxious eyes of the blacksmith, Jin Shengjie smiled and said: "First-class boutique, it can be considered qualified."
There was a trace of excitement on the man's face, he nodded heavily, his eyes became more and more expectant.
Jin Shengjie checked each piece of equipment, hesitating occasionally in the middle, but everything went smoothly. After the last piece of equipment was appraised from them, Jin Shengjie announced on the spot that this person had won the senior title.
The man waved his fist excitedly, saluted Jin Shengjie and the others respectfully, and said, "Thank you three masters."
Jin Shengjie smiled and said nothing, while Yi Yucheng and Feng Guangyuan congratulated with smiles, their attitudes were extremely friendly, far more enthusiastic than before the assessment.
And the eyes of the people nearby looking at him were full of envy.
Before the assessment, this person was only an intermediate blacksmith, but after a short hour, he was already able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Yi Yucheng and Feng Guang.
Of course, in terms of actual ability, there is still some gap between them, but in essence, there is no big difference.
After a while, Jin Shengjie and others came to another casting platform. Although the blacksmith had completed all the equipment, when Jin Shengjie and others arrived, the expression on his face was faintly stiff.
Jin Shengjie smiled and said a few words of relief, then picked up the equipment and began to check.
One, two, and three pieces of equipment passed the test smoothly, but when the armor was checked, Jin Shengjie let out a long sigh and said, "Your strength is still a bit weak, go back and work harder."
There was a hint of frustration on that person's face, but he didn't dare to complain, and lowered his head and said, "Yes, this junior must work hard."
Jin Shengjie checked all the way over. Although he had a kind face and a kind heart, he showed a stern and selfless attitude at this time. As long as one of those equipment is unqualified, it will definitely not escape his check.
Soon, except for Ouyang Ming, everyone's equipment has been checked.
However, there are only two people who are really qualified to obtain the title of senior blacksmith.
Not to mention those involved, even Ouyang Ming and other bystanders felt terrified and felt a pity for them.
Two blacksmiths even produced high-quality third-tier equipment, but Jin Shengjie rejected it without hesitation when one of the other equipment was less than high-quality.
Ou Yangming spent more than half of his time on the high platform because the forging speed was too fast.
At that time, when he was chatting with people, at least half of his energy was still paying attention to the assessment situation of everyone.
Therefore, he is very clear about one thing, these eliminated people are not lack of forging ability, but the problem of arms.
Their munitions consume too much power when smelting selected fine steel, resulting in a lack of energy during the final forging.
Otherwise, with the strength they have shown, it is unlikely that there will be insufficient levels under their full attention.
If the senior blacksmith's request is only to forge a piece of high-quality equipment, they will definitely be able to pass the test smoothly.
However, with a time limit and a complete set of equipment, their desire to become a senior blacksmith is probably almost slim.
Because in Ou Yangming's eyes, their potential seemed to have been tapped out. Unless there is some kind of fortuitous encounter, it can explode again, or it is luck against the sky during the assessment, otherwise it will be difficult to complete the task.
More than ten intermediate blacksmiths participated in the assessment, but only two became senior blacksmiths. Although such an elimination rate is cruel, it highlights the identity and status of senior blacksmiths to another extent.
Finally, surrounded by everyone, Jin Shengjie came down to Ouyang Ming.
A complete set of equipment on the casting platform was neatly placed. Although Ouyang Ming was the first to complete the assessment of the forging technique, he was the last to be tested.
Jin Shengjie took a deep look at Ou Yangming, looked at his calm face, and said with a smile, "Ou Xiaoyou, will you surprise me this time?"
Ouyang Ming smiled slightly and said, "Maybe, please, Master Jin."
Jin Shengjie laughed and said, "My boy, you are so confident!" He picked up a pair of armguards with a smile.
On the high platform and outside the center, everyone's eyes were fixed on his face. Everyone knows that he will never show favoritism in the face of such a big issue of right and wrong. No matter what expectations he had for Ouyang Ming before, if the equipment was not up to standard, he would mercilessly reject it.
So, what is Ouyang Ming's fineness?
Everyone's eyes locked on Jin Shengjie, and it seemed that even their breathing became much lighter.
Finally, they saw it. Jin Shengjie's face showed a hint of surprise, his brows were slightly frowned, and he looked up at Ouyang Ming with complicated eyes.
Most people on the high platform felt as if they were being scratched by a monkey's paw, and they cursed inwardly, what is going on, please hurry up and give a real expression!
Such a strange look makes it impossible for people to guess.
After a while, Jin Shengjie finally let out a long sigh.
Hu Yicheng and his son looked at each other and shouted in their hearts. It's broken, it looks like it didn't pass the level!
However, Jin Shengjie did not announce directly, but handed the armguard in his hand to Yi Yucheng, and said, "You guys should take a look too."
Yi Yucheng and Feng Guangyuan were impatient for a long time, but this time, although the three of them presided over the assessment at the same time in name, but with Jin Shengjie in front, they didn't dare to overstep in the slightest.
At the very least, before Jin Shengjie expressed his attitude, the two of them must not have any partial opinions.
Therefore, although they couldn't wait a long time ago, after listening to Jin Shengjie's words, they stepped forward and took a armguard to examine carefully.
"Hey, this, this is..." Yi Yucheng's complexion changed slightly, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Feng Guangyuan.
Feng Guangyuan's complexion was not much better than his. After carefully checking the armguard in his hand, there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
Facing Yi Yucheng's gaze, Feng Guangyuan smiled wryly and said: "Although I don't really believe it, but my experience will not deceive me..." He hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "Master Jin, brother Yi, I Suggestion, let's cast an identification technique!"
Everyone on the high platform and the surroundings were in an uproar for an instant. They heard it right, but they still want to use the identification technique for this piece of equipment?
Could it be that this piece of equipment is between the high-quality equipment and the fifth-level top-grade equipment, so the three of them also feel unable to judge.
However, judging by the expressions of the three of them, it seems so.
Jin Shengjie pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's look at other things first."
He casually picked up the helmet, but after a few glances, it became strange again.
Armor, leggings, and sabers were all picked up and put down in his hands one by one. However, after each piece of equipment was checked, his expression became more and more complicated.
Yi Yucheng and Feng Guangyuan also checked one by one, but they were like playing charades, no matter how curious and anxious the rest of the people were, they just kept silent.
If it wasn't for Master Jin Shengjie's name and reputation, someone would have started scolding him long ago.
Finally, Jin Shengjie shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "Guangyuan, let the appraiser appear!"
