This craftsmanship cannot be lost in our hands. This was what Lin Tie often said to Lin Nuo.
As a father, how could he not know what his child was thinking? In fact, he was the same when he was young. He felt that since this craftsmanship had been eliminated by time, then what was the point of persisting?
At that time, Lin Tie also felt that his father was too pedantic. In this new era, he insisted on old things and would never choose to improve.
However, as he grew up and came into contact with this industry more, Lin Tie's thoughts gradually changed. He also understood why his father persisted.
The traditional craftsmanship that carried the essence of Chidragon's traditional culture had been passed down for thousands of years. This was also the reason for its existence.
This was because behind every piece of work was condensed the vicissitudes of life and the vicissitudes of life.
To put it in a big way, it was a kind of persistence and adherence to the tradition. To put it in a small way, it was the spirit of the ancestors passed down from generation to generation.
A hundred years ago, a thousand years ago, his ancestors were waving the iron hammer just like him now. They were drenched in sweat amidst the sputtering sparks and forged the thrill and excitement of life in the occasional flash of inspiration.
This was like a story that was written from the moment it was passed down. It was passed down from generation to generation and continued to be perfected.
Lin Tie, who came to his senses, took the initiative to learn the craftsmanship from that moment on.
Affection could be applied to people over time, and it was also applied to Lin Tie and his craftsmanship.
The more he understood, the more he loved it. When the inheritance was no longer a burden, Lin Tie took over the baton from his father and began to write his own story.
This was Lin Tie, a person who seemed old-fashioned to Lin Nuo, but had the most sincere persistence and dream of the inheritor.
Lin Tie once had the idea of promoting this craftsmanship. He had put in a lot of effort for this. His figure could be seen on Weibo, live streaming, and other platforms.
However, in this impetuous era, the appreciation for the beauty of traditional craftsmanship had long faded. The result of his hard work made Lin Tie very disappointed and depressed.
However, his love for the craftsmanship in his hands had never diminished.
However, after coming into contact with Battle Online this time, Lin Tie's originally calm heart was once again ignited with the flame that he once had.
Tens of millions of players were learning the craftsmanship here. This was something that Lin Tie dared not imagine before, but now it was possible.
Although this was a game, after flipping through the [Blacksmithing Beginner's Handbook], Lin Tie knew that these techniques really existed. Just like what Lin Nuo said, they could be used in real life.
In Lin Tie's eyes, this was an opportunity, an opportunity to bring honor to his ancestors and let people understand the smelting and casting techniques of the Lin Clan.
After hearing from Lin Nuo that there were ten thousand slots for the Class Change Trial this time, Lin Tie only had one thought. He wanted to be number one!
But before that, the first thing he needed to do was level up.
After continuously leveling for 11 hours in the Ghost Mountain Range, Lin Nuo was on the verge of tears. Looking at his father who was still full of energy, Lin Nuo really wanted to go to sleep. However, his father did not allow it.
"Father! I can't take it anymore, there's still an hour before I'm forced to go offline. How about I take a break first? "Seeing that his father was still looking for monsters, Lin Nuo opened his mouth with a face full of grievance.
For Lin Nuo, the beginner monsters in the Ghost Mountain Range gave too little EXP. It was not enough to satisfy his growth. His only purpose here was to help Lin Nuo level up.
Originally, he wanted his father to guide him through the Class Change Quest, but he did not expect that his memorizing time would be taken away by his father. If it was someone else, Lin Nuo would have already flipped out. However, this was his father, Lin Nuo did not even dare to have the thought of resisting, and could only "serve" him.
"There's still an hour before you're forced to go offline?" Lin Tie heard this and turned his head to look at Lin Nuo with a frown.
"Yes, I'm currently using the virtual reality helmet, there's a mandatory game time limit." Lin Nuo said with a face full of anticipation, waiting for his father's permission.
"Wait a moment!"
After saying this, Lin Tie went offline in front of Lin Nuo's shocked expression.
Around 5 minutes later, Lin Tie came online again and waved the greatsword in his hand. "Let's go, continue killing monsters!"
"Father, I only have half an hour of game time left!"
"No problem, father just went offline and ordered another gaming cabin. It will be delivered directly from the nearby Black Sea warehouse. The smart delivery car will probably arrive in around an hour."
Lin Nuo was speechless.
At this moment, Lin Nuo really wanted to yell at his father, "Playing with things leads to ambition," but he did not dare to.
An hour later, the gaming cabin was delivered to their doorstep. The father and son pair went offline and moved the new gaming cabin into Lin Tie's room.
When he came online again, Lin Tie used his own gaming cabin.
Thinking of his father's furious expression when he bought the gaming cabin, and then looking at his father's swift and decisive purchase, Lin Nuo felt bitter and wronged. He really wanted to imitate his father and yell at him, but he still did not dare to.
With the gaming cabin, the 12 hour game time limit naturally did not exist. Next, Lin Nuo brought his father to sweep through the Ghost Mountain Range, this beginner leveling area.
With Lin Nuo, a level 100 + Rune Master carrying him, Lin Tie's level soared.
After two days of killing monsters without rest, Lin Tie finally reached level 25, and it was finally time for him to accept the Class Change Quest.
At this moment, Lin Nuo finally let out a sigh of relief, feeling that he was free.
Beside him, Lin Tie was also very happy.
In these two days of leveling, Lin Tie also discovered a surprise in the game, which was that he could feel the improvement of his physical fitness when he leveled up in the game.
This made him think of the "Smelt Iron Into Essence" tempering technique recorded in the book.
Lin Tie had tried this tempering technique when he was young, but found out that it was very difficult to use in actual forging. Just as he explained to Lin Nuo, this tempering technique required one to have great strength. Without the assistance of modern equipment, it was very difficult to achieve, and if one tried forcefully, it would harm one's body.
At this moment, Lin Tie, who was already level 25, clenched his fist and felt the surging strength in his body. He felt that with his current strength, he could definitely try this tempering forging technique.
After that, Lin Tie and his father returned to the Mansion of the Dead, preparing to try forging.
[Confirm to activate the Class Change Quest for the Life Profession "Forging Master"?]
"Yes!"
After confirming to activate the Class Change Quest, the Forging Book, Forging Hammer, and Smelting Furnace, these three beginner items were sent to Lin Tie's backpack.
Looking at the quest description, Lin Tie extended his hand towards Lin Nuo.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Lin Nuo asked, puzzled.
"Spirit Ore!"
Hearing this, Lin Nuo felt a toothache.
At this moment, a game notification appeared in his mind:
[Game notification, your first round of the Forging Master Class Change Quest has not reached five pieces of forged iron due to time exhaustion. Failed!]
"F * ck!"
In these three days, he had been accompanying his father to level up, and had even forgotten to do the quest. At this moment, Lin Nuo's heart ached.
Fortunately, this quest could be repeated after a day's cooldown. Otherwise, Lin Nuo felt that he would really go crazy.
Looking at his father, Lin Nuo sighed in his heart. He took out all the Spirit Ore from his backpack and gave it to his father:
"Dad, I'll give it all to you. If it's not enough, I'll go buy more."
Lin Tie nodded, and with an excited expression, he summoned the Smelting Furnace and began forging for the first time in the game.
Looking at his father's busy figure, other than helplessness, Lin Nuo felt even more joy in his heart. Because he had already forgotten how long it had been since he saw his father so focused on something.
At this moment, Lin Tie seemed to have shed away his old age. His whole body was emitting vitality, and Lin Nuo couldn't help but be stunned.
"Ding! Ding! Ding! " The sound of hammering was very pleasant to listen to, and also very warm. At this moment, Lin Nuo's mind couldn't help but recall the tall and sturdy figure in his memory, who was bare-chested and sweating by the furnace.
Lin Nuo, this old man who was already thirty years old, couldn't help but tear up as he watched from the side.
He was very familiar with this kind of attitude. At this moment, Lin Tie was like a dusty treasured sword that had its dust wiped away, and once again displayed its sharp edge. Although many years had passed, it was still as dazzling as before.
Lin Tie was very familiar with the Smelting Technique. He rhythmically hammered the Spirit Ore, and the sparks that burst forth burned his skin red.
However, Lin Tie didn't feel the slightest discomfort, and his eyes were only filled with excitement and nostalgia.
After half an hour of hammering non-stop, the impurities were gradually removed, and the shape of the Spirit Ore continuously shrunk.
"Ding!" After another hammering, a game notification suddenly appeared.
[Game notification, congratulations on forging Hundred Skills Iron!]
Using a pair of pliers to pick up the Hundred Skills Iron, Lin Tie's face revealed a trace of a smile.
This time, he tried to smelt the Spirit Ore using the "Smelt Iron Into Essence" method from the Blacksmithing Introductory Book. He didn't expect it to actually succeed.
Lin Nuo saw this and curiously used analysis to check the attributes of the Spirit Ore.
[Hundred Skills Iron (Level 1)]:
Metal Information: Level 1 Spirit Ore "Hundred Skills Stone" formed after being tempered into a Level 1 metal material.
Material Quality: 89
(Spirit Ores are divided into 1 to 13 levels. After being tempered, the Spiritual Metal material is divided into 1 to 18 levels. Each level has a quality evaluation of 1 to 100. The metal smelted from a Level 13 Spirit Ore is equivalent to a Level 13 metal. In the later stages, it relies on smelting the metal to increase the metal's level and quality.)
At this time, another panel appeared in front of Lin Tie:
[Blacksmith Profession Advancement Point List (Remaining time: 5 days 13 hours 46 minutes)]:
First place: Tian Beiyou (852 points, completed Level 3 mission)
Second place: Tao Lin (753 points, completed Level 3 mission)
Third place: Zhong Fengyi (732 points, completed Level 3 mission)
… …
9742: Lin Tie (89 points, Level 1 mission stage)
… …
Because they were in a team, Lin Nuo also discovered the ranking that appeared on his father's panel. Other than surprise, he was also filled with pride.
He was very confident in his father. He knew that with his father's strength, he would definitely be able to charge into the top ten thousand. But he didn't think that just by forging the first Spirit Ore, he would be able to successfully jump into the top ten thousand.
One had to know that the first mission's evaluation was based on five Spirit Ores, and his father had only forged one. If he counted the points from the other four Spirit Ores, he felt that his father's points could definitely charge into the top one thousand, or even higher.
At this moment, Lin Nuo's heart was filled with anticipation. He felt as if he was witnessing his father's rise.
But when Lin Tie saw the ranking, he was very dissatisfied. He immediately picked up his hammer, and while his body was still warm, he began to hammer the second Spirit Ore.
As time passed, the Spirit Ores were hammered into Spirit Ores one by one, and Lin Tie's ranking on the list rose in a straight line. When the fifth Spirit Ore was completely hammered, Lin Tie's ranking had already reached 587.
Compared to the excited Lin Nuo, Lin Tie was very calm. Because he only had one thought, and that was to get first place!
