This was the first time he had ever forged a weapon since awakening as a master blacksmith.

He spat twice on his hands, then rubbed them together. Qiao Suinian had saved his and his daughter's lives. This forging experience strengthened Lin Sanshi's resolve to succeed!

Seeing this, Qiao Suinian also chose to believe Lin Sanshi. If the useless stick was successfully strengthened, he would have more protection on his way to the steel mill.

He found a corner and started to sleep, soon his breathing became even.

He didn't sleep a wink last night after sneaking into the Ye family to kill Ye Diyun.

Qiao Suinian didn't know how long she had slept when she suddenly heard Lin Sanshi's surprised voice in her ear.

"I did it! I did it! Hahahaha!"

Qiao Suinian was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this. He stretched and then hurried over to Lin Sanshi's side.

"I'm sorry, Sui Nian, did I disturb your rest?" Lin Sanshi's face, covered with centipede-like scars, showed a guilty expression.

"It's alright, the Dragon Scale Iron and the Useless Big Stick have fused together?" Qiao Suinian's eyes were burning.

"Yes! Although it took two hours longer than I expected, it's a perfect fusion! Look!"

Lin Sanshi excitedly handed over a large, matte black stick, about 1.2 meters long. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the stick was covered with a dense layer of scale-like patterns.

The scales seemed to have a life of their own, undulating evenly.

Qiao Suinian reached out and grasped the large stick. The scales on the stick immediately changed shape, perfectly fitting Qiao Suinian's palm.

Dragon Scale Staff

Quality: d-

Attributes: Attack power +30, with a 15% armor penetration effect. When hitting an enemy's head, it will cause a one-second stun effect.

Description: A strange rod covered in scales, crafted by a nine-star master blacksmith. Getting hit on the head by it by accident is definitely not a pleasant experience.

Qiao Suinian glanced at the attributes of the new equipment and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

As expected of a nine-star master blacksmith, he directly upgraded the useless staff from e- to d-, a full level increase.

Moreover, seeing the newly added attributes of the Dragon Scale Staff, Qiao Suinian couldn't help but start plotting something in his mind.

A hit to the head causes a one-second stun? It doesn't seem to mention the force. Does that mean a light tap on the head with this dragon-scale mace would cause a stun effect?

"Feng Zhizhao, come here quickly, I have something to tell you!" To verify her suspicions, Qiao Suinian smiled and waved to Feng Zhizhao.

"What are you going to do?" Feng Zhizhao asked suspiciously, but he still came over because he trusted Qiao Suinian.

"I'll give you a buff!"
