Everyone's gaze followed the silver light. The silver light soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it had already reached a height of three meters. Moreover, it was solid, and a low dragon's roar reverberated. The piece of mithril itself emitted a dazzling luster. On the surface, there were faint dragon patterns coiling around, as if there was a giant dragon hidden inside.
"Fusing the power of your bloodline into your forging. Infusing your spiritual perception into every strike of the hammer. What a good Thousand Refinement with Spirit and first-grade Thousand Refinement. "The youth in the red uniform praised.
Lan Xuanyu wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Thank you for your praise, president."
The president smiled and said, "You are worthy of being a fourth-rank blacksmith. Moreover, your success rate is amazing. Five pieces of metal have all been Thousand Refined. Two of them are first-grade Thousand Refined. When I was at the fourth rank, my success rate was not as high as yours. I agree to the loan, and the association will approve it to you as soon as possible. However, Junior Brother, can I ask why you're borrowing so much at once? "
Lan Xuanyu smiled. "I want to earn more emblems. Senior, I'm from the Space Command Department. In the future, not only do I want to have my own mecha, but I also want to have my own soul guidance warship, or even a warship. To earn money, I have to start from a young age. "
The president smiled. "Good, you have ambition. With your forging skills, as long as you can continue to grow at this speed. I won't be surprised if you have your own warship in the future. If you have anything you don't understand in the future, you can call me. I'll leave you my number. "
"Thank you, president."
The two of them exchanged contact numbers, and the president said, "Can you sell me the two pieces of first-grade Thousand Refined mithril that you completed today? I heard from Yingming that the Thousand Refined metals you complete are especially stable and can greatly increase the success rate of Spirit Refinement. I'll take them back and try them out. "
"Then I'll give them to you, president." Lan Xuanyu was very generous, especially since he had just received benefits from the other party. What he didn't lack the most right now was rare metals.
"That won't do. The academy has its rules. Moreover, I'm your senior. According to the market price, it will be raised by 30%. I'll get Yingming to bring it to you later. Alright, that's all for now. "
The president didn't stay any longer and left with the two vice presidents.
Yang Yingming looked at Lan Xuanyu as if he was a monster. "I've been learning since I was a child, and it's been almost ten years. Even my teacher said that I'm talented. In just ten short years, he was able to complete spirit refinement and become a fifth-rank blacksmith. But it hasn't even been a year, and you're about to catch up to me! ...... ".
Lan Xuanyu ignored his lament. "Senior, when can you give me my loan? Time waits for no one. ...............
Yang Yingming frowned. "Junior Brother, I have to remind you about this. ...... ..........................
.. s of Year..... s............... ............. Is... If I can bear it, then I will try. Otherwise, I definitely won't. I only did this because I was really confident. .. Look at the odds. Our odds are lower than the second years'. Our odds are only 1: 0.5, while the second years' odds are 1: 0.9. "
Lan Xuanyu was actually quite helpless about the odds. The reason for the odds was very simple. It was because they had defeated the third years last time!
Therefore, although it was a year-skipping challenge, in a two-on-one situation, those who were optimistic about them far exceeded those who were optimistic about the second years.
Lan Xuanyu couldn't do anything about it. But the truth was right in front of him. There was nothing he could do!
Now, he could only hope that the odds would go up when he challenged the seniors. Only then would he be able to earn more.
Over the past few months of the new semester, he had been working hard on his cultivation. His forging was mainly about refining metals and trying to forge with rare metals. He had achieved a certain level of success. With his accumulation, he was finally able to produce first-grade Thousand Refinements with a certain success rate. The success rate was about 20%. Today's 40% success rate might have been due to the stimulation from the president's arrival. He was considered lucky.
Although the success rate of first-grade Thousand Refinements wasn't high, his success rate of Thousand Refinements was very high. It was close to 100%. As a result, the value of his rare metals would definitely rise to a great extent.
For the past few months, because he didn't have much income, he only had expenses and had to support his companions. Lan Xuanyu didn't have many emblems left.
The competition was about to begin, and Shrek's Gambling Center had even opened a business in the academy. How could he miss such an opportunity? After careful consideration, Lan Xuanyu decided to borrow from the Blacksmith's Association. He used a ton of Thousand Refined rare metals as collateral. More than 10% of them were first-grade Thousand Refinements.
And the amount he wanted to borrow was also very large. 50 purple emblems.
One had to know that he was only a first year! It was precisely because of this that the president had personally come. He had personally witnessed the efficiency of his Thousand Refinements and seen his stock of rare metals. He wanted to ensure that he had the ability to repay.
Of course, Lan Xuanyu wouldn't go all in like before, but with these 50 purple emblems, he could do a lot of things. If he operated well, he would definitely be able to make a huge profit.
He had actually thought it through very clearly. These 50 purple emblems would only be used in the first round of the competition, which he had the most confidence in. Although the odds were only 1: 0.5, if he won, he would still earn 25 purple emblems. After that, he would pay back his principal and use the first round's winnings to participate in the competition.
This way, he would definitely earn and not lose anything. Even if he lost, it would just be returning to zero.
He didn't tell his companions about this and took on all the pressure of the loan himself. If he earned money in the end, he would share some with his companions. If he didn't, then forget it.
"Junior, are you guys really confident in the first round?" Yang Yingming asked.
Lan Xuanyu said, "In the first round, I'll bet all the emblems I got from this loan. What do you think? I suggest you place your bet before I do. Otherwise, after I place my bet, the odds will probably drop. "
"Alright, then I'll earn a little extra money with you." Yang Yingming grinned. "Also, junior, forget about the first-grade Thousand Refinements. I'll reserve 10 pieces of your Thousand Refined metals first. Speaking of which, when your products are on the market in the future, the price will definitely increase. As your senior brother, I won't cheat you. Let me give you some data. After trying for the past few months. Your Thousand Refined metals will increase my success rate of Spirit Refinement by 30%. Do you know what this means? "
Lan Xuanyu was stunned. "What does it mean?"
"It means that your Thousand Refined metals should be twice as expensive as the Thousand Refined metals on the market. If the Spirit Refinement fails, the metal will be wasted. An increase of 30% in success rate is quite impressive. I've analyzed this matter with the president. The president said that your bloodline should have affected the metal's activity, making it more spiritual and less active, making it more stable. Therefore, Spirit Refinement is easier to activate and less likely to fail. "
Lan Xuanyu's eyes lit up. "If that's the case, then there's indeed more space. Thank you, senior. How about this, if you use it yourself in the future, buy metals from me and I'll give you a 20% discount. To thank you for your help and support. "
Yang Yingming's eyes also lit up. 20% discount, that would save a lot of money! It wasn't much more expensive than the Thousand Refined metals outside. The key was that it was easy to use! The success rate was high!
"Then I won't be polite with you. I'll take advantage of you like this. "
"Of course, you're my guide in forging. Senior, I'll be leaving first. I'll look for you later to get the loan so that I can place my bet. I'll go back and formulate a strategy with my classmates. "Lan Xuanyu smiled.
