Chapter 172 Good things happen one after another

Crown asked: "What is the task of the senior blacksmith every month?"

Becoming a senior blacksmith is also considered a senior technician. He is not like an ordinary blacksmith, busy forging every day.

With his forging skills and abundant physical strength, he should be able to complete the tasks for the month quickly and even do more.

If you can exceed the task, can't you get more firepower potions?

“The senior blacksmith needs to complete the forging of three sets of armor and fifteen extraordinary weapons every month, and also needs to complete the repair of ten pieces of equipment.

This is the basic quota. If you complete it normally, you can get a certain amount of contribution points and other auxiliary materials such as potions. If you exceed the limit, you can get more contribution points, as well as gold shields or spirit coins as rewards. "

Flanders knew what he was thinking and continued, "Generally speaking, we can no longer obtain firepower potions. All potions that require external supply materials have a fixed number, and we need to try our best to maintain a basic supply for all those who need it."

Generally speaking? Then there is still room for discussion?!

Clown understood the bishop's implication and asked with a smile:

“How can I be the exception?”

Rules are dead and are meant to be followed by most people.

The strong can make their own rules. His current martial arts skills are not at that level yet, but his skills are first-rate.

Judging from his performance just now, the time he needs to complete the quota is much less than that of other senior blacksmiths, which gives him some qualifications to negotiate terms.

He continued, "Significant contributions should receive additional subsidies, right? I saved my teammates in Yorktown, two of whom have the potential to become third-level church elites."

Flanders nodded: "I will remember all these contributions for you. Otherwise, the result of your soul purity test at that time would have been..."

The bishop did not continue speaking, but gave a look that could only be understood.

The opponent's soul has been corroded to a degree exceeding the safety line of one quarter. Theoretically, it is impossible for him to hold out for long.

According to the usual practice, humane destruction will be carried out.

This was not done at the time because it would have prevented the disaster from spreading further and saved the lives of a group of church elites and a large number of people.

When people who have made contributions are killed, those who have worked hard will feel disheartened.

The original plan was to see if the other party could hold out until the next full moon night. If enough ritual materials were obtained before the mutation, then everything could turn around.

Otherwise, the only option is to carry out the original plan and give the other party's family a sufficiently generous compensation afterwards.

Clown bared his teeth. He understood what the bishop meant and realized that the threat he had faced a few days ago was not only the pollution of his soul, but also the butcher knife of the church.

From a rational point of view, there is nothing wrong with doing this.

In those movies like Resident Evil, if there is no specific medicine, people who are bitten by zombies will inevitably mutate.

If a teammate is bitten, the rational thing to do is to kill the injured person, no matter how much contribution this person has made.

When I put myself in the shoes of this teammate who was bitten while saving everyone, I would not be willing to accept the fate of death determined by reason.

At this moment, his desire to become a high-ranking figure in the church became even stronger.

"My condition is now under control. Can you give me some of the rewards from the church?"

You have to fight for your own interests.

Flanders shook his head. "Let me make it clear. The rewards will not be distributed for the time being. There are only five days left until the next full moon night. If you can survive this night, then what you deserve will be distributed to you."

"On the night of the full moon we will organize an elite force to explore a special area. After obtaining enough spiritual materials, we will perform a purification ceremony for you, which should be able to eliminate the hidden dangers in you."

By the time you perform the ceremony, I may have healed myself.

Clown understood that as long as the Golden Light Spell had not reached the second level, his desperate visualization was only able to suppress the spread of soul pollution.

Now, the pollution can be slowly purified without visualization. If you combine visualization with a test of the purity of your soul after a few days, you may have recovered.

It's just a matter of waiting a few more days. He continued with the previous topic:

"Then how can I get more firepower potions? Or give me the materials so I can make them myself."

Now he has a clear goal and is unwilling to go with the crowd. The purpose of all his actions is to obtain more auxiliary resources so that he can become a third-level fire fighter as soon as possible.

"Do you have the pharmacist level to make fire potions?"

Flanders was a little confused. After deciding to give the other party a place in Lingxu some time ago, he looked at the other party's resume in detail.

It is understandable that the rapid progress of the extraordinary level is attributed to blood awakening, but both pharmacists and blacksmiths need to spend a lot of time to improve their levels, and it is difficult to make a huge breakthrough in a short time.

Even if one has talent, it still takes several years to accumulate. But the other party's growth rate is too fast, just like the son of God described in the scriptures of various churches.

"I haven't refined it, but I can try," Clown's eyes were full of confidence.

Flanders thought about it and shook his head:

"Forget it. The spiritual concentration of the world is constantly increasing, and the medicinal properties of the herbs are constantly increasing. Every once in a while, we need to re-deduce the proportion of the materials in the formula. It's better for you to continue to stay here and be a senior blacksmith.

If you can survive this full moon night safely, I am willing to give you a higher quota of firepower potions. Complete one task for the senior blacksmith and you will get six firepower potions."

As the spiritual concentration in the world increases, more second-level extraordinary people will emerge in the church, and the wilderness will become increasingly unsafe.

As humans need to obtain more resources, the number of monsters will increase, and one day, war will surely come.

If we store more combat supplies now, we will be more prepared to deal with them in the future.

. . . .

After a big meal, Crown returned to the holding cell. His future life had been determined.

He worked in the blacksmith shop during the day and returned to the holding cell at night.

He will stay in the blacksmith shop until he is sure that the pollution has been lifted and he is free again.

[Forging: 172/10000; Level 4]

In the afternoon, I forged three one-handed swords, increasing my proficiency by 48 points.

The forging skill also has certain bonuses to physique and strength, and is not just a life skill.

When he gets to work tomorrow, he plans to ask Blue if there is any extra income he can earn.

He didn't believe that the master blacksmith in the blacksmith shop had no extra income.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Crown began to visualize the Golden Light Mantra, as there was no other form of entertainment to distract him.

After visualizing seven great cycles in one breath, Crown's consciousness sank into the sea of ​​​​consciousness.

This was the first time he entered this magical space after advancing his Golden Light Mantra. At this moment, the scenery here was different from before.

The gold and silver crystal ball radiates two kinds of light. It keeps rotating at a constant speed, with half of the space bathed in silver light and half in golden light.

When Crown's consciousness was illuminated by the silver light, he felt a cool and refreshing feeling, and when it was illuminated by the golden light, he felt a warm feeling.

What surprised him even more was that every time the golden light shone on the two spirit controllers, he could see very light black smoke rising from them.

When the silver light shines on Yu Ling, the silver stars on the hourglass become dazzling, and the border of the fire cube flashes with silvery white light.

Is this the automatic purification function brought by the will of light? Klauen's consciousness was filled with strong joy. It could actually automatically purify the spirit! After observing for a while, his consciousness withdrew from the sea of ​​consciousness and summoned the golden wall.

[Golden Light Mantra: 32/100000; Level 2]

The visualization of seven great cycles lasts for one hour and twenty-four minutes, and gains 21 points of proficiency.

Theoretically, if you work non-stop for a year, you can reach the third level of the Golden Light Curse.

But the actual operation is estimated to take several years.

Clown understood that this was a long and huge project, and for now his energy should be focused on improving his extraordinary level. If he could reach the third level as soon as possible, he would be able to join the upper echelons of the church.

By then, we will be able to have a certain say.

Then, he began to practice fire breathing.

Now that the goal is clear, all we need to do is move forward with determination.

For others, they may get lost halfway, but the golden wall will tell him every bit of progress.

Practice visualization. When you feel tired, visualize two big cycles to restore your strength and energy.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Crown finished his training.

He planned to go to bed early and try to get enough sleep in the next few days. He had been very busy recently and needed to recover slowly.

After finishing training, he routinely checks the progress of practice.

[Flame Breath: 712/7000; Level 2]

The rate of increase isn't right. After practicing the breathing method for so long, I could only increase my proficiency by thirty-one or thirty-two points at most, but now it has increased by forty points.

The efficiency has increased by about 40%. Could it be the hidden benefit brought by the Golden Light Mantra's upgrade? Thinking of this, he immediately lost the desire to sleep and immediately practiced the Rock Breathing Method.

An hour later, he compared the proficiency acquisition speed and found a 50% increase.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Klauen's heart immediately burned. At this efficiency, he would become a fire fighter even earlier.

After his excitement slowly subsided, he thought for a while and roughly understood the reason.

The essence of breathing techniques is actually to improve people's physical fitness, at least for now.

After advancing through the Golden Light Mantra, your physical fitness will be enhanced in all aspects, and the rapid improvement of your breathing proficiency will become natural.

After falling asleep, strange dreams still came, but under the shining of golden thunder, that kind of evil aura could hardly contaminate him.

Nothing happened that night. He woke up on time at dawn.

. . . .

Underground forge.

When Crown arrived here, he found two senior blacksmiths were already waiting for him.

Blue greeted him warmly, but the other one was much colder.

"This is Master Andrea, the head of the forging department," the short and stocky blacksmith introduced.

"Hello, Master Andrea, my name is Crown Moya, please take care of me," Crown bowed slightly.

This is an old blacksmith with gray hair and wrinkles around his eyes and forehead.

He was wearing a starched work suit whose color couldn't be identified and had a serious expression on his face.

Andrea waved her hand and handed over a piece of paper and a design drawing. "Let's not be polite. Time is tight. You will be assigned a team of low-level blacksmiths and apprentices. This is your task list for today."

Unlike Blue, he has worked here for decades and has no ambition, so he doesn't need to curry favor with the blacksmith who is said to be a second-level transcendent.

In his opinion, this person won't last long here.

Such a young second-level transcendent will eventually gain more resources through fighting.

"I heard that you are very capable. I believe you can complete the task on time," Andrea said, then turned and left.

"The supervisor has always been so cold," Blue said, laughing, trying to smooth things over.

Crown nodded without comment. He didn't need to please anyone.

He looked at the task list: 'Three one-handed swords and one main piece of armor.'

"Is your usual workload so heavy?"

"It's not usually the case, but the workload has been like this recently. The task is too tight, and we have been working overtime for almost a month."

Blue explained and smiled, "Originally we might not be able to complete the task, but now that you are here, it will be easier. I will take you to the furnace of work."

The two men came to a large furnace. After Blue introduced it to the blacksmith who was helping him, he pulled him aside.

"We all have certain wear and tear standards for our work, and we both follow these standards. You know what I mean."

Blue rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

Crown smiled and nodded. He also wanted to ask the other party what kind of extra income he could get.

Now that the other party has spoken up, he doesn't have to owe him a favor.

In a place like a forging workshop, there will always be some scrap iron and copper, all of which can be absorbed by the Fire Cube and become a powerful part of it.

"I understand. What are the standards? Please tell me in detail."

He bent down and assumed a listening posture.

Blue nodded in satisfaction and whispered in his ear.

Blacksmithing is a menial job, and only by becoming a senior blacksmith can one succeed.

In addition to the monthly work remuneration, material loss is also a part of their income, and a not small part at that.

Some high-end materials are still very valuable, and they will use these materials to take on some private jobs, which is equivalent to a no-cost business.

This is also one of the reasons why the supervisor is so cold.

If there is one more person, we have to share some of the benefits.

Clown nodded continuously, and after listening, he said, "It's not convenient for me to deal with these 'wasteful' things recently. I may need you to help keep them for me and give them to me when you leave."

"No problem," Bruce patted his chest and agreed readily.

Anyone who participates in dividing the spoils together is a member of the family.

Blue left happily and reported the situation to Andrea.

The ordinary forging process was done by other blacksmiths, while Crown practiced fire breathing nearby.

It only took him five hours to complete today's task, and his forging proficiency increased by more than seventy points.

He spent the rest of his time practicing fire breathing.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Crown clocked out.

He is very satisfied with his life today as he gets paid, earns extra money and can improve himself.

He looked at the materials that should be 'destroyed', which included very high-quality refined iron ingots, copper ingots, and the four types of metals he needed.

Soon, it was the night of the full moon. In that strange dream, there was only a small piece of black cloud left. That kind of soul pollution would be completely purified in a few days.

Inside the detention room, Crown came out of his trance and opened his eyes.

The inexplicable interference is very strong, and the visualization is no longer smooth, but I can still persist. It’s just that the efficiency is much lower, and it takes longer to visualize a big circle.

A faint smile appeared on his face, and the ability of the second-level golden light spell to resist erosion was strengthened again.

He stopped visualizing the ineffective practice of doing twice the work with half the effort and instead began to practice breathing fire.

After tonight, he would be able to get the firepower potion, and then his progress would speed up again.

What he didn't know was that Flanders was in the guard room that night, on guard against any sudden changes in him.

The next day, Nick came to the holding room, looking tired but unable to hide the excitement in his eyes.

"Crown, we have enough materials for the advanced purification array."

Thank you all for your votes, thank you! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
