[Genius One Second Remember, providing you with exciting novels to read.]
Wang Yu placed the forged "longsword mold" on the workbench and opened the forging interface. A small hammer icon appeared in the skill pane with the words "Hammer x18" next to it. This meant that he could hammer 18 times to successfully forge the sword.
At the same time, 18 small green circles appeared on the mold that Wang Yu forged, representing the places that needed to be hammered.
These small circles were similar to the temperature indicator from before. They were unique to Refinement. Normal forging didn't have this indication.
"Clang …" Wang Yu picked up the hammer and lightly tapped the blade. The blade turned white, representing sharpness.
System Notification: Slight strength. Forging progress 72%.
Wang Yu was a martial arts expert. He had precise control over his strength, comparable to the most precise instrument. With the first strength as a reference, Wang Yu slightly increased his strength.
"Clang …" The blade turned white.
System Notification: Uniform strength. Forging progress 100%.
Ma Li, who had been paying attention to the changes in the data on the workbench, was not surprised when Wang Yu first tapped it. After all, he was a new blacksmith. It was already very impressive for him to be able to do this.
However, Wang Yu's forging progress shocked Ma Li more and more …
100%, 100% … 17 consecutive 100% hits. The final forging progress was 97%. Ma Li's mouth formed an "O" shape.
Normal players faced two problems when forging equipment. One was the hammering position, and the other was the hammering strength. [Literature Building]
As players forged more equipment, they would naturally be able to determine the position of the hammer. However, the strength of the hammer was a more ambiguous thing. After all, strength was something that was very difficult to control. The system was afraid that there would be too many top-tier items, so it would not provide players with assistance to correct it.
The longsword could be hammered 18 times. Ma Li's mastery of each strike was only around 80%. When forging equipment, Ma Li would thank the heavens if she could get two 100% hits.
It was said that the top guild in the national server, the Nine States Empire, had hired a professional blacksmith as a blacksmith in real life. That blacksmith was known as the number one blacksmith in "Rebirth". Every time he hammered, he could only control it to be around 95%. Wang Yu's string of 100% was something that no one would believe.
Could it be that the "Charterer" had better forging skills than a professional blacksmith? Marie couldn't help but think …
As the saying goes, different professions are worlds apart. Even if Wang Yu was very talented, his forging skills wouldn't be higher than a professional blacksmith's. However, this was in the game. With the help of the system, all the data could be visualized, and Wang Yu could adjust the strength and forging method according to the numbers.
If it was in the real world, there would be a lot of limitations. Wang Yu was absolutely clueless about the most basic smithing techniques and positions. (I'm also clueless, so don't listen to me bragging.)
After tempering, the next step was assembly.
The gauntlet, hilt, and lock ring were all small parts. Currently, they were only sold in the shop, and the equipment blueprints didn't have these things.
With the help of the Refinement system, Wang Yu calibrated the positions and equipped the three parts one by one. The data on the console showed: Assembly Compatibility: 100%. A longsword was finally completed.
Picking up this strange longsword, Wang Yu displayed its attributes.
Mayhill's Wrath (Equipment Set)
Attack: 25-27
Mana: 25-27
15 Strength
15 Vitality
Mayhill's Wrath Set 1/3
Mayhill's Wrath (Weapon) 1/1
Mayhill's Faith (Armor) 0/1
Mayhill's Spirit (Bracer) 0/1
Set Attributes
Wrath: Effect of Whirlwind Slash increased by 15%. (Activated)
Faith: Physical and Magic Resistance increased by 20%.
Spirit: When HP drops below 50%, Attack increased by 20%.
The attributes were not bad, but the main attributes were too trashy … What was even more unacceptable was that this weapon was very ugly. Wang Yu had specially made a big gauntlet that looked like a fork according to his own preferences. It looked so ugly that even if Wang Yu had the face to give it to Bao San, Bao San wouldn't have the face to take it out. Wouldn't he be making the enemy laugh to death?
"Niu Ge, this …" Bao San's face was bitter, and his disdain was obvious …
Wang Yu didn't mind. He casually stuffed the sword into his bag and said to Bao San, "Alright, alright, I didn't do a good job just now. I'll do it again for you. Do you have enough materials?"
When Bao San heard this, he was overjoyed. "Yes, yes, yes …" In order to prevent any accidents, Bao San had prepared well. Hearing that Wang Yu was willing to do it again, Bao San was very happy.
"Okay!" Wang Yu responded and opened the furnace again.
Uniformity was the easiest thing to master in the forging process. This time, Wang Yu carefully poured the molten iron into the mold, and the uniformity was 100% perfect.
Next was the tempering. Recalling the strength just now, Wang Yu struck the blade intermittently 18 times. Just like before, the Completion Rate was 100%, but the final tempering rate was 99%.
After the weapon was completed, other than the main attributes being greatly increased, the other attributes were exactly the same as before.
After receiving the new weapon from Wang Yu, Bao San was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. On the other hand, Ma Li was completely convinced by Wang Yu.
No matter how much the Refinement Art was assisted by the system, the 18 times of 100% Completion Rate were genuine and could not be faked at all. Based on that alone, Ma Li believed that she could never surpass Wang Yu in this life.
"Niu Ge … You're really my brother. How do you think I should thank you?" Bao San said excitedly.
"Let me forge it again …" Bao San was just being polite, but Wang Yu took it seriously.
"Forge it again??" Bao San asked in surprise, "Why? This weapon is already perfect! "
The attributes of the forged weapon were better than the attributes of the equipment dropped by the boss. The two main attributes of the second weapon that Wang Yu forged were enough to surpass the best gold-grade equipment at the current stage. As a person who had trouble with equipment in Quanzhen, Bao San was already very satisfied with this weapon.
"No, when I forged it, the tempering rate was only 99%, so there's still room for improvement …"
In a duel between martial artists, the slightest flaw could cause one's reputation to fall to the ground, or even lose one's life. Wang Yu had been practicing martial arts since he was young, so he had developed the habit of pursuing perfection. The 99% tempering rate made Wang Yu feel a little unhappy.
"Err …" Bao San was a little troubled. "I see."
"Why? Is there a problem? "Wang Yu asked." Is there not enough materials? "
Bao San nodded. "Yes, there are six Star Ores in total, and I've used them all."
Creating advanced equipment required Mana Stones, and the Point Star Ore was the Mana Stone used to create weapons. Every time Wang Yu created a weapon, she would use up three Point Star Ores. Bao San only had six Point Star Ores, and they had all been used up just now.
"If that's the case …" Wang Yu took out three red crystals from her bag and said, "Will these work?"
