"I don't know what the limit of this young man is. It seems that our weapon forging shop will have another good seedling."
Chen Yuanzheng secretly said that just based on the basic skills Su Hao had demonstrated, Chen Yuanzheng believed that Su Hao was qualified to join the Weapon Forging Shop, but he still had to wait and see what his limits were.
Su Hao temporarily stayed in the guest room of the weapon forging shop. The next morning, he got up and continued forging weapons.
Su Hao would continue to hammer the iron ore and refine it continuously, ten times, ten times, ten times...
"Ten times of refining ordinary pig iron is the limit. Adding Qinglin ore will increase its tolerance."
Su Hao had tried it before in Zhao Yu's blacksmith shop. Ordinary pig iron cannot be refined infinitely. Ten times of refining is the limit. Refining it further will destroy its tolerance.
This rare blue-scale copper, when neutralized with refined iron, can improve its tolerance and be refined more times.
“Ding ding ding!”
The hammer flew, sparks splashed, and the fine iron was continuously hammered by Su Hao. As it was melted with the blue-scale copper, its tolerance also increased.
Ten refinements, fifty refinements...
"It's gone... Hundred-Refined Iron!"
Ten days later, looking at the heavy piece of fine iron with a hint of light green luster in front of him, Su Hao's eyes sparkled with joy.
Originally, Su Hao's blacksmith shop was limited by materials and could only forge 30-refined fine iron. But now, with the rarer iron ore, the blacksmith shop can successfully forge 100-refined fine iron!
"I will forge it into a sword."
Su Hao started to forge the sword without hesitation. He was skilled in forging, shaping, quenching, grinding and polishing, blade coating and tempering... and other steps were already well known by heart.
"It's gone!"
Another five days passed, and Su Hao pulled out a long sword from the coolant.
This sword glows azure, with a sharp edge. The whole sword exudes a cold, sharp beauty. Just by looking at it, one can feel its sharpness that can cut through iron like mud!
"Good! You are a skilled warrior! Your skills are truly remarkable! Can you show me this sword?"
When the sword was raised, a voice of praise rang out.
Su Hao looked in the direction of the sound and saw Chen Yuanzheng with a burly man beside him.
This burly man was seven feet tall, under ten feet tall, with dark skin, just like a giant, giving people a heavy sense of oppression. He was just praising him.
"This person...his martial arts skills are definitely not weak."
Su Hao thought to himself that the burly man naturally exuded a sense of oppression. He could feel that the strength of this burly man was definitely extraordinary, and must be stronger than the centurion of the Black Deer Army that Su Hao had killed before.
"Su Hao, let me introduce you to Xu Huanzhen, the owner of our weapon forging shop."
Chen Yuanzheng immediately introduced it to Su Hao, and at the same time, he looked at the Bailian long sword in Su Hao's hand with admiration in his eyes.
This burly man, Xu Huanzhen, was the owner of the weapon forging shop. During this period of time, Su Hao was forging weapons in the forge. Xu Huanzhen also knew that a blacksmith had come. When he saw Su Hao forging weapons, he came to watch in person.
"Greetings, Shopkeeper Xu. Please have a look."
Su Hao also greeted him and handed the hundred-refined long sword to Xu Huanzhen for inspection.
whoosh!
Xu Huanzhen took the long sword, shook his wrist, poured his strength into it, and swung the sword in a flower shape. The surface of the long sword suddenly glowed with green light, which was gorgeous and dazzling, and chilling!
“Nice sword!”
Xu Huanzhen exclaimed in admiration.
"Boss, can Su Hao join our weapon forging shop? His skills... are not inferior to others!"
Chen Yuanzheng said on the side.
Xu Huanzhen restrained his smile, looked at Su Hao, and said, "Your name is Su Hao, right? You have a high talent for forging. You can forge elite weapons at a young age. It is possible for you to become a forging master in the future... I am willing to let you be the forger of our forging shop. What do you think?"
"Forger?"
Su Hao was also slightly surprised.
In a weapon forging shop, ordinary workers can only be called "craftsmen", while blacksmiths are the backbone of the weapon forging shop and have a very high status!
But it's normal to think about it. Su Hao is so young and can create elite soldiers. He has great potential, so it is natural to give him the best treatment.
"I do."
Su Hao naturally nodded in acceptance, but he would not despise his poor treatment.
"Okay, from now on you are a member of our weapon forging shop. Our weapon forging shop doesn't have any special rules. As a blacksmith, in addition to the basic salary of 5 taels of silver per month, you will be given a salary of 10 taels of silver for each Hundred Refined Elite Soldier you forge. As a duty, you must forge at least one Hundred Refined Elite Soldier for the weapon forging shop every month."
Xu Huanzhen then told Su Hao about his treatment as a blacksmith.
The basic salary is 5 taels of silver, and the reward for forging a refined weapon for the blacksmith shop is 10 taels of silver!
According to Su Hao's efficiency, he can forge two Hundred Refined Elite Swords in a month at least. If he uses techniques such as "Transformation of Strength", his efficiency can be higher, and it is not a problem to forge three Hundred Refined Elite Swords in a month.
"At least 30 taels of silver per month? This is a blacksmith!"
Su Hao couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart.
There are many ordinary civilians in Crouching Tiger Town. A family of two laborers may not get a monthly salary of 2 taels of silver after working hard for a month!
There are hundreds of professions and every profession has its top talent. Whether you are a chef, or studying music or forging, as long as you have a certain level, it is not difficult to make money to support yourself or even become rich. Your skills will be popular wherever you go!
Su Hao's forging skills have been perfected and he can become a blacksmith. In the blacksmith shop, there are probably no more than ten blacksmiths of this level.
Powerful warriors and even non-commissioned officers in the army are definitely willing to spend a large amount of money to purchase weapons of the hundred-fold-refined level. The supply is in short supply and there is no worry about sales!
"Ah Hao, do you want to live in our weapon forging shop? There are still vacant rooms."
Afterwards, Chen Yuanzheng started to address Su Hao in a more intimate way and took the initiative to arrange a room for him.
"No, I like to be quiet when I rest, so I want to live outside."
After a little thought, Su Hao shook his head and refused.
Su Hao practices martial arts at a very high level, and the noise he makes occasionally is very loud, so he wants to rent a larger house so that he can practice martial arts more conveniently.
Afterwards, Su Hao rented a house in Anfang. There was a garden and trees in the yard, and the environment was quite elegant. It was more than ten times better than the shabby house in the village!
The rent is also quite expensive, as high as three taels of silver per month.
"I've finally settled down. Tomorrow I'll officially start working in the weapon forging shop. If I work hard, I can make a few hundred-refined elite soldiers a month. I'll also learn a few more martial arts and accumulate my foundation to see if I can take my 'strength' to the next level!"
Su Hao is full of motivation.
Su Hao earns a lot now, but spends a lot. First of all, the bull bone-forging paste used for bone-forging costs 20 taels of silver a month. The other thing is food. He eats meat every meal. For ordinary civilians, the standard of each meal is at the level of ordinary people during festivals, which is also a considerable amount!
The more you earn, the more you spend!
