Chapter 209 Forging Successor
After washing up, Meng Qingyin prepared to go to sleep.
Just as she lay down, Lear sent her a message: "Your seed collector has been rented out for three days at 1 gold coin per day, for a total of 3 gold coins. You get 60%, which is 1 gold coin and 80 silver coins. I'll transfer it directly to your account."
Mengmeng: "Okay."
She soon received a notification that her account had been credited to her account.
Mengmeng: "Received."
Lear: "Hmm, so how exactly did you obtain your seed collector?"
Meng Qingyin frowned. Why was Li Er so obsessed with how she obtained the seed collector?
Was he worried that he would interfere with her business, or was there another reason?
The image of Li Er's expressionless face telling her that she wasn't ruthless enough flashed through Meng Qingyin's mind. She always felt that Li Er was not an ordinary NPC, and that she had a secret.
As for what the secret is, and whether it relates to the players' survival, she had no idea.
...
In the early morning, Meng Qingyin quickly washed up, ate breakfast, and then teleported to the Li family.
After saying goodbye to Uncle Li, I went to the forging room.
Yesterday, Lu Cheng said that the pear blossom needles she forged were more powerful and destructive than his own.
She thought about it carefully yesterday and had some ideas in mind.
She planned to do the same thing again and forge another one to verify her guess.
Meng Qingyin followed the same forging process and details as yesterday, and it took her four hours to forge the second pear blossom needle.
Send it to Lu Cheng so he can test its power.
A moment later, Lu Cheng replied: "How strange, why are the pear blossom needles you forged more destructive than mine?"
The picture still shows pear blossom needles driven into the tree trunk, surrounded by dense cracks.
Just as I expected!
Meng Qingyin explained, "The connection between the needle tail and the sphere of your original pear blossom needle was easy to break if too much force was applied. So when I forged it, I thickened the needle tail to make the connection stronger. I didn't expect it to have such an unexpected effect."
I am the lucky one (poor version): "My God, the bolding is almost invisible. I stared at it for a long time before I could see the difference. Your skills are amazing."
He realized that if a needle were to pierce the human body, the damage would not be optimistic unless it hit a vital area such as the eye.
Just like when they worked together to kill the Night Demon, his role was to drive the pear blossom needles into the Night Demon's eyes to restrain its movements.
In terms of damage, there really wasn't much.
However, this thickened pear blossom needle is different.
It can not only insert needles into the human body, but also, due to the smooth connection between the needle tail and the solid ball, the thickened part of the needle tail can also enter, causing the wound to tear.
If he had used more force, even a solid ball could have been driven into the wound, and the damage would have been far more severe than that caused by a needle.
Lu Cheng asked excitedly, "Can the plum blossom needles be forged using the same technique as before?"
Mengmeng: "No problem."
I'm a lucky person (poor version): "Thanks."
Meng Qingyin calmed herself and continued forging the remaining eight pear blossom needles.
Her skill level increased, and her speed increased.
It took three days to forge the remaining eight pear blossom needles.
Lu Cheng gave her 1 gold coin, saying that he didn't have any money at the moment, but he would give her 10 gold coins later when he had money, as a token of his gratitude.
Meng Qingyin hadn't intended to accept it, but she couldn't resist Lu Cheng's insistence, so she eventually had to.
She showed the pear blossom needle to Li the blacksmith, who praised it highly and even complimented her ingenious idea.
And so, on such an ordinary afternoon, Meng Qingyin completed her apprenticeship.
[Announcement: Player "Mengmeng" has apprenticed under blacksmith Li Decheng and, after a period of dedicated study, has finally mastered the art of weapon forging. Congratulations!]
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "Congratulations, Mengmeng! Congratulations, Mengmeng! Mengmeng is absolutely amazing! A role model for us all!"
Rice with Chicken Leg: "Wow, you're amazing! You actually got a title. I don't understand, does this title have any special meaning?"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "007 has always been generous; this title is definitely not just for show!"
I don't like bitter melon ^O^: "Who can tell me first, who is Li Decheng?"
A bright moon hangs gracefully: "Li Decheng is Li the blacksmith, a skilled weapon forger, and his fees are very high!"
Dreamy Heytea: "Now that Boss Mengmeng has learned how to forge weapons, can he help us forge weapons?"
Early risers: "Me! Me! Me! Look at me, I'm signing up!"
Sweet Traveler: "Boss, I'd like to customize a long whip!"
Red's Rice Ball: "Boss, I want to customize a bow and arrow!"
Suddenly, the chat room was filled with discussions about players customizing their weapons.
Mengmeng: "I will take some weapon forging orders, but my energy is really limited. I will prioritize forging those weapons that are in high demand. I hope everyone understands."
Mass production of weapons saves a lot of unnecessary time, simplifies the process, and improves forging efficiency.
Xia Yi: "We understand, we understand! Boss, I want a bow and arrow or a crossbow!"
Little Crane 2: "Bow and Arrow +1!"
Peach Strawberry Tea: "I heard that Blacksmith Li charges a lot for forging weapons. Mengmeng, how much do you charge for your weapons?"
Mengmeng: "The price of an ordinary weapon is between 1 and 10 silver coins, depending on the materials and time required. If a special weapon or special materials are needed, the price will be higher."
The price isn't high, considering it's mass-produced.
Moreover, weapons wear out; they are consumables, not one-time purchases. Their prices are too high for players to afford.
Yi Xin Yi Yi: "This price is indeed not expensive, it's really much more reasonable than Li the blacksmith's."
Peach Strawberry Tea: "You get what you pay for. It's not expensive, but the quality is definitely not as good as what Li the Blacksmith makes."
Ruan Anxiong: "Upstairs, why do I feel like you're talking in a sarcastic tone? In the beginning, you asked the big shot about the price, and the big shot gave a very reasonable price, but you implied that the quality was not good. So if the big shot asks for too high a price, do you secretly complain that it's too expensive?"
Peach Strawberry Tea: "I didn't mean that, why are you saying that to me?"
A tea connoisseur said, "I understand you, because I used to think it was green tea."
Lanjiang's Xuexue: "I also think that Taotao is a bit too much. Do you expect to buy a supercar with the money you'd spend on an electric scooter? This price is more than enough for a decent weapon. What more could you want?"
The player named "Peach Strawberry Tea" fell silent.
