"Captain."
"Old Han, how are you doing here?" Bai Xiaowen asked with a smile.
Han Xu said, "I've gained a lot. I got a subprofession of blacksmith … but it's only level 1 now. "
"Blacksmith? It should be different from the blacksmiths on Earth … "Bai Xiaowen said.
"It's a blacksmith who can make psionic equipment …" Han Xu thought for a while and said, "And after I got the subprofession of blacksmith, I also got 2 points of strength and 2 points of constitution."
"That good?"
Li Shuyi's eyes lit up. "I want to learn blacksmithing too!"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "It shouldn't be something that you can learn just because you want to … Old Han, how did you catch the eye of a dwarf blacksmith? No one would say that you have a good physique the moment they met you … "
Han Xu shook his head. "No, after I came to Moat's Great Mine, I received a side quest to help a dwarf blacksmith find a hammer. This quest couldn't be shared and could only be completed independently. After I completed it, I got the reward of a blacksmith apprentice certificate … "
Han Xu set the blacksmith apprentice certificate to an exhibition state.
[Blacksmith apprentice certificate: A certificate to learn blacksmithing under the master blacksmith, Antoine Graybeard. Exclusive binding, only for personal use.]
"No wonder …" Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Senior Qiao Rui took the Freikorps and left first, leaving you here to learn blacksmithing. That was the right decision. "
"What level was that side quest?" Li Shuyi asked.
Han Xu answered weakly, "No level, a special side quest …"
"When you were looking for the hammer, did you encounter any monsters? For example, leader-level rock worms, sand scorpions, and so on … "
"This … I don't have it either. I just followed the Dwarf Blacksmith's instructions and walked around the area twice before I found the hammer …"
"That's it?" Li Shuyi was envious.
Han Xu scratched his head. "I think … I should be credited to the captain for my good luck. I'm his teammate, so the dwarves treat me differently. "
"That's right!" Li Shuyi looked at Bai Xiaowen hopefully. "Xiaowen, since you have such a high reputation here, can you help me find a blacksmith to be my teacher?"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and laughed, "It's not that easy … Judging from Old Han's description, the Dwarf Blacksmith Master must have taken a fancy to him and set up a simple task for him. This is Old Han's own fortuitous encounter. It might have something to do with me, but I'm definitely not the main reason. "
If having a high prestige meant that one could casually order a Spirit Realm character to take in disciples, Bai Xiaowen would have let each member of the team learn a secondary profession. After all, he had his own territory. There were so many secondary professions in the White Stone Territory. Blacksmithing, Inscription, Potioneering … Didn't they have everything?
Learning a secondary profession in the Spirit Realm was something that could only be chanced upon and not sought. It required people in the Spirit Realm to take in suitable seedlings and take the initiative to accept them as disciples.
Then Bai Xiaowen learned about the forging of psionic equipment and Han Xu's current level.
Han Xu was very ashamed. A Level 1 blacksmith could only forge gray equipment now, and there were often defective products. He would be thankful if one piece of white equipment could be produced in ten pieces. This was undoubtedly a shameful waste of psionic ore …
Moreover, if a blacksmith wanted to improve his proficiency, he had to use psionic materials. Ordinary iron ore from Earth was not enough.
However, the White Stone Territory produced psionic ore, so Bai Xiaowen did not feel distressed about wasting materials. As long as Han Xu's blacksmith level improved, he would make a profit no matter how many resources he invested.
Bai Xiaowen had great confidence in Han Xu's forging talent — this confidence came from the Spirit Realm character's appreciation of him. The Dwarf Master Antoine Graybeard certainly did not accept Han Xu as a disciple for no reason.
"You don't have to participate in the next battle," Bai Xiaowen said. "You're an elite profession, and you level up faster than us. You don't have to force yourself to level up with the team. There are still about 20 days left. You should learn forging from Master Antoine. When we return to Earth, I'll provide you with a large amount of psionic iron ore, enough for you to practice until you vomit. "
Han Xu smiled honestly. "Thank you, Captain."
As for the blacksmith sub-profession, it was not surprising that he was rewarded with two points of basic strength and physique. When Bai Xiaowen first started the pharmacist sub-profession, he was also rewarded with three points of spirit.
Judging from the reward attributes, the blacksmith sub-profession seemed to have a higher threshold than the pharmacist sub-profession …
"By the way, Captain, there's something here. Senior Qiao Rui asked me to give it to you for safekeeping." Han Xu reached out and took out a psionic item.
"This is … what you got from killing the leader?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"Yes, Senior Qiao Rui said that this is the only valuable item. The others are useless."
Bai Xiaowen glanced at it.
[Distorted Illusion Scroll: A + Level Item. After use, allies within 10 meters will enter a state of invisibility that lasts for 600 seconds. Any attack (or damage received) will break the state of invisibility. This state has an additional three points of priority. If allies are already in the state of invisibility, an additional one point of priority will be added. Number of uses: 1/1. Disappears after use.]
"Hmm …"
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and carefully evaluated the scroll. "Senior Qiao's eyes are very accurate. This scroll is indeed valuable. It's not inferior to those large-scale strategic items. "
Bai Xiaowen immediately put away the scroll. "What else did Senior Qiao say?"
"There's one more thing." It was difficult for Han Xu to speak so much. "Senior Qiao Rui said that you don't have to rush to inform her after you return to the front line … She has a way to know your location."
Li Shuyi asked curiously, "Falcon's Spirit? Isn't there a time limit? "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "It's not Falcon's Spirit. I think it's this." He took out a small stone that glowed faintly from his storage space.
This was the special item that Qiao Rui had given to Bai Xiaowen after the CUAA finals in Beijing before parting ways: the Mysterious Stone. There was only one simple description of this item: Sealed with rich psionic power and nothing else.
Li Shuyi understood.
"Well, since Senior Qiao knows that I've returned to the front line, we're not in a hurry to go over … Old Han, you continue to learn blacksmithing. I'll stay in the command center and discuss the strategy to deal with the Nagas with Ahan and the others …"
Bai Xiaowen then looked at Li Shuyi. "Shuyi, after I meet the dwarf chief, I'll help you ask if you can accept a disciple … But don't get your hopes up."
Li Shuyi nodded excitedly.
That night, news came from the Dwarf Kingdom.
The Tri-Race Council finally unanimously approved the proposal of "exchanging the Magic Mechanical Machine Assembly Device for the Ancient Runic Armor". An elite team was sent to urgently deliver the Ancient Runic Armor to the command center of Moat's Great Mine.
The Wrath Claw's awakening skill could finally be completed.
