Chapter 9 Upgrade in the Blacksmith Shop

When the two returned home, Ryan already had a basket full of wild blueberries, hazelnuts and chestnuts.

Thanks to George's relationship, the two of them were able to sneak into the manor woodland and pick up various nuts and berries.

A great harvest!

About 70% of the forests around the town belong to the manor woodland of the Habsburg Manor, and the other 30% are public woodlands.

But the wild fruits and nuts in the public woodlands have long been picked up by the residents of the town.

It was already lunchtime, and the autumn sun was particularly warm. When Ryan was about to reach the door of his house, he could already see the white smoke floating from his chimney in the distance, which made Ryan feel very good.

However, when he glanced at the corner of his eye and passed by his next door, he was stunned!

I saw a little girl in a gray linen coat, sitting on the wooden steps of her house, basking in the sun while sipping a piece of bran cake in small bites.

Although the bran cake was inferior to black bread, the little girl also ate it very cherished.

She was holding a bran cake in one hand and catching the fallen crumbs in the other hand, and pouring the crumbs into her mouth, not wanting to waste anything.

After eating a few bites, the girl in the sun squinted her eyes, as if she was very satisfied with having a piece of bran cake to eat.

The girl was Anna!

Ryan was stunned and stared at the other person's cautious appearance of eating, and his heart suddenly tightened.

This must be a great misfortune to eat a piece of bran cake with the taste of happiness.

Ryan looked down at the wild fruit in his hand, his lips stammered, but he didn't know what to say.

He and the girl were not familiar with each other, and if he rashly gave some nuts or something, the other party might not accept his kindness.

After thinking about it, Ryan walked into his room, poured out half of the wild fruits and nuts he picked up, and handed the remaining half basket to his sister Mint.

"Mint, go and give this half basket of wild fruits to sister Anna next to you. Remember to let her accept it." Ryan squatted down, touched Mint's little head, and said.

As if she had realized something from her brother's serious look, Mint nodded vigorously and said:

"Yes! Sister Anna is living alone, it's really hard."

"She will definitely like these wild fruits. Don't worry! Brother, I will definitely let Sister Anna accept them. If she doesn't accept them, I will cry!" Mint fluttered her big eyes and waved her little hands vigorously.

"Yes! So good."

After a while, Mint came back with excitement on her face.

"Brother, Sister Anna accepted them, and she asked me to thank you! We also agreed to continue growing vegetables in the garden in the afternoon."

"Mint is great!" When Ryan heard that Anna accepted them, he felt relieved and gave his sister a thumbs up and praised her.

After lunch, Ryan walked towards the blacksmith shop in Shining Gold Town.

The blacksmith shop is located on the main road of the town. Before Ryan got close, he heard the sound of iron hammering from a distance.

As soon as he entered the blacksmith shop, Ryan felt a wave of heat coming towards him!

There were several strong men who looked like helpers and apprentices busy inside, and the blacksmith Boris Patton was making an iron pot.

Several apprentices looked at Ryan in confusion as he walked to Boris's side.

"Uncle Boris, can I come to the blacksmith shop to help? Anything is fine!"

Boris turned his head and looked over when he heard the voice.

He looked Ryan up and down and said, "It's little Ryan. He seems to be much stronger than before. But I'm sorry, the blacksmith shop is not short of people now."

"Haha, Uncle Boris, I'm here to help for free. You can let me do anything."

Huh?

Free help?

There is such a good thing?

Blacksmith Boris was stunned at first, and then his eyes focused on Ryan again, his eyes were burning, as if he was thinking about what to let Ryan do?

He would not let Ryan steal any skills, and he could make good use of this free labor.

At this time, a blacksmith apprentice raised his eyebrows and said, "Master, let Ryan help me pull the blower!"

Boris looked at him and thought that the blower was good. It didn't require any skills, but a little strength would be enough.

"Okay! Ryan, remember not to touch the things in the blacksmith shop. You will be responsible for pulling the blower this afternoon. Drus, you teach Ryan."

Ryan certainly wouldn't object, a blower is a blower!

As long as you have experience!

Repairing donkey hooves can increase the experience of a blacksmith apprentice, let alone a blower!

Sitting in front of the blower, Ryan, under the guidance of Drus, pulled the blower with all his strength.

Several strong apprentices next to him looked up at Ryan, thin arms and legs, probably couldn't pull it a few times.

But when Ryan mastered the initial skills of the blower, he began to pull it tirelessly.

[You have performed the work of pulling the bellows, and the relevant comprehension has improved! ]

[You have comprehended a new skill - pulling the bellows]

Ryan was delighted, and it was exactly as he expected.

Next, almost every time he pulled the bellows, the experience of pulling the bellows was +1, and the +1

blacksmith apprentice professional experience soon prompted the word +1.

This made Ryan very happy!

Suddenly, Ryan pulled it up like a perpetual motion machine!

The apprentices on the side looked at Ryan in surprise!

They couldn't understand why this new kid would be so enthusiastic about such a mechanical and boring job.

Does this brat know what it means to help for free?

It is necessary to work harder than these formal blacksmith apprentices. I have never seen such a thing before!

Ryan worked until dark!

The number of breaks in the middle can be said to be very few.

This made the blacksmith Borris look at Ryan with a new eye!

At the same time, Borris took this opportunity to scold several blacksmith apprentices and said a lot of things like learning from Ryan.

Suddenly, several blacksmith apprentices looked at each other and saw a sense of urgency in each other's eyes.

Although blacksmith apprentices work hard among apprentices in other industries, they are treated first-class. They don't say it, but they cherish it in their hearts.

Immediately, several people speeded up their actions!

Blacksmith Borris looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help laughing.

I didn't expect that agreeing to let Ryan do the job of pulling the bellows would have such an effect.

Not long after, Ryan received the system prompt of the occupation level upgrade:

[You have performed the work of pulling the bellows, and the relevant understanding has been improved! ]

[Your skill of pulling the bellows has been improved, experience value +3]

[You focus on the blower, blacksmith apprentice occupation experience value +1]

[Congratulations, your blacksmith apprentice occupation level has been upgraded! ]

Ryan couldn't wait to turn the transparent frame to the second page and checked it carefully.

The first item in the panel frame, the blacksmith apprentice has been upgraded to level 3.

[Blacksmith Apprentice lv3 (0/500)]

[Pulling bellows lv2 (245/300)]

[Hoof trimming lv2 (295/300)]

[Horseshoeing lv1 (56/100)]

[Remaining attribute points: 1]

[Remaining skill points: 2]

Even though he knew that his occupation level would be upgraded today, when he really saw this scene, Ryan couldn't suppress his inner joy!

Although he worked for free at Borris's blacksmith shop this time

, the 1 attribute point and 1 skill point added at the bottom of the attribute panel were the best reward for his free work!
