Chapter 28 Top Grade Equipment
As the ammunition burned, the hard stainless steel seemed to have turned into a hundred-refined finger-wrapping softness. Under the continuous burning of the ammunition, it finally turned into a saber.
That's right, it's still a saber, Ou Yangming's best work.
The old craftsman watched with a solemn expression. Although the methods of forging fine steel and selecting iron ingots are generally the same, there are still some differences due to the difference in raw materials. The old craftsman has already carefully taught how to deal with different materials, but it is up to Ou Yangming to understand the laws and changes in it.
In this process, all he needs is experience, and experience that has been tempered many times to increase the success rate.
But at this time, Ouyang Ming did not cheat, he did not use purple light to improve the attributes of the saber. Instead, following the guidance of the old craftsman, he wholeheartedly sensed the difference between fine steel and iron ingots.
Finally, when the arms stopped completely, a saber appeared in front of them.
Frowning slightly, a look of embarrassment flashed across Ouyang Ming's face.
Item: Remarkable Saber
Level: The fifth level of good products
Attributes: Sharpness +10, Hardness +10, Durability 10
Good products, although they are also the top category of good products. However, Ouyang Ming is not satisfied now.
Because what he used at this moment was not selected iron ingots, but refined steel. This is a precious material that can be used to forge high-grade weapons, but in his hands, it has become a good one.
At this moment, Ouyang Ming's pride that was full of confidence disappeared immediately.
It turned out that after losing Ziguang's blessing, his true strength was nothing more than that.
The old craftsman reached out and took the saber, inspected it carefully for a moment, and sighed: "Hey, you boy, you can indeed."
Ouyang Ming said helplessly, "Old man, I know I made a mistake, so please don't hit me, okay?"
The old craftsman glared at him, and said angrily: "Nonsense, the first time you came into contact with fine steel, you were able to refine it to the peak of fine steel, what else do you want?" He snorted lightly, and said: " The old man wasted more than a dozen times before he figured out a little reason and forged a high-grade weapon." He waved his hand and said, "Come on, let me tell you where you made a mistake just now."
Ouyang Ming was stunned for a moment, most of his confidence recovered, and he said honestly, "Thank you, old man."
He naturally understood that the old craftsman would never have said those words if he hadn't seen his frustrated expression.
However, what the old man said is right. Improving forging skills is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight, and my sense of loss is really unreasonable.
Bowing his head, Ouyang Ming continued to pick up a piece of fine steel and began to forge it gropingly.
Although he didn't use the attribute light spots stored in his mind, once he used the arms, he would naturally be able to trigger the purple light hidden in his mind, making him enter a state of being neither happy nor sad, as if he was out of the way .
In this state, he can almost perfectly make himself perform at his best level.
Having learned the lesson from the previous failure, the ammunition in Ouyang Ming's hands was extremely stable, as if controlled by a machine, without any fluctuations.
All the flaws were perfectly made up for this time, and even the picky eyes of the old craftsman couldn't find any flaws and shortcomings.
Finally, at the moment when the saber stopped completely, a gleam of joy flashed across the face of the old craftsman, and he secretly said in his heart: "It's done." Although he hadn't touched the finished product yet, the old craftsman had a feeling that This kid succeeded.
Item: Distinguished Saber
Rank: the second rank of the top grade of all weapons
Attributes: Sharpness +12, Hardness +11, Durability 12
top grade.
Under the afterglow of the military fire, Ouyang Ming clearly saw the attributes attached to it.
He finally forged top-grade equipment as he wished.
Such an achievement, even among the arms blacksmiths, is a gratifying achievement. Generally speaking, only those who have accumulated several years of experience will try to forge fine steel. However, even if fine steel is used, no one can guarantee that top-grade equipment can be forged, even the chief blacksmith, Lao Jiangtou, dare not make such a guarantee.
And top-grade equipment is far more popular in military camps than high-grade equipment. It's just that such equipment is a huge luxury for ordinary sergeants.
"What a boy, it's amazing!" the old craftsman said excitedly after hitting Ouyang Ming hard on his head.
The higher this kid's achievements, the happier he is, and he doesn't have the slightest sense of teaching apprentices to starve their masters to death.
Ouyang Ming sneered, and said, "Master, this is not attribute equipment..."
The old craftsman laughed and scolded: "You greedy guy, you are not allowed to use precious ores on the fine steel until you have fully mastered the characteristics, you understand?"
Ouyang Ming immediately responded, but it is unknown whether he can do it.
The old craftsman waved his hand, and said in disgust: "Go back to your own forging room, so as not to be annoying here." After a pause, he continued: "In a few days, if you can forge a high-grade Attribute equipment, take it to General Chen to have a look, understand?"
Ouyang Ming was startled, and said in surprise, "Old man, won't you go with me?"
The old craftsman laughed and said: "You boy, do you want to be beaten, and trouble me for everything, old man, are you missing a hand or a broken leg?"
Ouyang Ming was startled, and fled like flying, hiding in his forging room.
He knew that the old craftsman must be thinking about General Chen's weapon building plan. At this time, if there is no big thing, it is best not to make him mad.
Seeing Ouyang Ming running away like a monkey, the old craftsman shook his head, but sighed inwardly.
Boy, you should learn to be independent. The old man can't take care of you for too long at this age.
Ou Yangming returned to the forging room, continued to ponder over the various properties of fine steel, and forged it three more times.
With the improvement of martial arts, he has used arms for a long time. Although the consumption of forging fine steel is much greater than that of selected iron ingots, it can't affect him just a few times.
After three times, with the help of that wonderful state, he finally mastered the properties of fine steel.
Of course, mastering the basics is one thing, but it is not an easy thing to use all the features to the extreme. With his current forging skills, it is not difficult to maintain a top-rank, but it is quite difficult to reach the peak of a top-rank.
Experience, what he lacks now is experience. If he had the experience of an old craftsman, even if he didn't use the reserve attribute, with the help of Ziguang, he would be able to stably produce top-grade peak armor.
He also didn't want to attract attention. In the next few days, he still maintained a life of squatting, practicing arms, reading books, and taking time to forge.
Of course, he didn't forge the shocking high-grade attribute equipment, but only forged high-grade ordinary equipment and good-grade attribute equipment.
But even so, in the eyes of the old craftsman, it can be regarded as one step at a time, and he is extremely firm.
Finally, when the tenth day came again, Sui Hezhi sent him a bloody beast as usual.
Ouyang Ming entertained him warmly, and said, "Brother Sui, I'm really sorry to trouble you every time."
Sui Hezhi laughed and said: "Brother Ou, don't talk about two different families." He accompanied the long knife in his waist, and said, "I never said I was sorry for giving me the excellent peak sword."
Ouyang Ming chuckled. Although he was young, he understood a truth, that is, there is always a time when favors are exhausted.
Although the excellent pinnacle saber I gave to Sui Hezhi was extremely rare in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, it was nothing more than that. It would definitely not be worthwhile for Sui Hezhi to spend years and months on the prey with just such a knife.
However, now he has a solution.
"Brother Sui, this is a knife I hit recently, try it again." Ouyang Ming said with a smile.
A gleam of ecstasy flashed in Sui Hezhi's eyes, he was so eager to curry favor with Ou Yangming, he was just waiting for today. However, he thought it would take at least half a year, but he didn't expect Ouyang Ming to go on the road like this.
Nodding heavily, Sui Hezhi took the saber and swung it a few times out of thin air.
This saber is indeed extremely sharp, but it doesn't seem to be much different from the good-quality pinnacle saber in his hand.
Looking at Ouyang Ming in amazement, Sui Hezhi looked puzzled.
Ouyang Ming continued to smile and said: "Brother Sui, use a little energy!"
Sui Hezhi's face changed slightly, he took a deep look at Ouyang Ming, and released a little bit of true energy. The next moment, his body trembled slightly, his aura surged, and he actually released a ray of stern aura.
Ouyang Ming took a deep breath. At this moment, in his eyes, Sui Hezhi seemed to have turned into a terrifying giant beast, as if he was going to be cut in two in the next moment. The strong sense of oppression almost made him faint. up.
However, at this moment, a purple light flashed in his mind, causing his consciousness to escape instantly, and he returned to a state of absolute calm.
He immediately realized that this was aura, as a martial artist who had gone through hundreds of battles, he created his own aura after wandering between life and death.
When a warrior with blood on his hands unleashes his momentum, the oppression it creates will be quite terrifying.
However, he only knew that Sui Hezhi was a member of General Chen Yifan's personal guard before, but he didn't expect him to be able to explode with such momentum.
In just a split second, Sui Hezhi came to his senses immediately. He restrained his aura immediately and exclaimed, "Brother Ou, you-you aren't frightened, are you?"
The moment his aura dissipated, the purple light in Ouyang Ming's mind also disappeared.
With a wry smile, Ouyang Ming sighed, "Brother Sui, what are you doing..."
