Chapter 83 Peerless blueprints, mainly against customers!
"Can I learn forging and making equipment here?"
Cheng Qianmo came to a somewhat dilapidated house. Although he saw iron felt everywhere, he was very confused.
Because the popularity is so deserted, it is completely different from the crowded scene in the previous fishing tackle shop.
Isn’t the blacksmith shop supposed to be lively?
Even among all sub-professions, the popularity of blacksmithing has always been among the top five.
Cheng Qianmo tried hard to recall the little knowledge in class.
However, he found that the reality seemed to be somewhat different from the introduction in the book.
After a while, an old man in his sixties slowly walked out.
"The learning fee is 50 gold coins, and the OEM fee starts at 100 gold coins. If you don't have money, leave quickly and don't waste my time."
The old man's tone was a little impatient, not like a businessman at all.
When Cheng Qianmo heard that learning blacksmithing cost 50 gold coins, he was stunned for a second.
Good guy, why is it so expensive?
Although he now has more than 100 gold coins in his hand, he cannot squander it like this.
As far as he knew, learning blacksmithing normally only requires 20 gold coins.
The price here has more than doubled, which is a money grab.
No wonder no one is there.
The old man seemed to notice Cheng Qianmo's hesitation and continued: "Is it too expensive? This is the price I have. If it's too expensive, you can change to another one."
After saying that, the old man was about to turn around and enter the inner room. He didn't seem worried at all.
There are at least dozens of novice village areas in Xia Kingdom, and it is still a bit troublesome to change areas.
And there is only one blacksmith shop in each novice area. Perhaps this is the old man's confidence.
Cheng Qianmo thought for a while and felt that this old man must not be simple.
Then he said with a half-smile: "I can provide the money, but you may not be able to take it."
The steps the old man took just now stopped.
He turned back with a trace of disdain on his face.
"I have been practicing for more than 30 years, and this is the first time someone dares to talk to me."
Obviously this old man is also a human being, not an NPC, and his skills are very high.
There are generally three types of blacksmith jobs.
The first is to provide a forging book. The fees for this service will gradually increase depending on the level of forging.
The second is to sell various forging blueprints. Most people who want to get the blueprints basically get them from the blacksmith, unless you can create your own.
The third is to directly process the production of various weapons or equipment. The blacksmith will charge different prices for the OEM fees based on the difficulty of the grade.
Cheng Qianmo's provocation just now was naturally referring to the third situation.
He is very confident in what he wants.
The old man had been immersed in forging for decades, so he naturally didn't believe his lies, so he looked disdainful.
"It's a pity that this precious blueprint of mine will never see the light of day again."
Cheng Qianmo said in a pretentious manner, preparing to continue to seduce the old man.
He had just carefully observed the old man's clothing, which was very simple and obviously not someone who was greedy for wealth.
Since he is not greedy for money, there must be other reasons why he dares to do business like this.
Naturally, you cannot use ordinary methods to deal with such an eccentric and arrogant person.
Agitation is the best way.
As expected, when the old man heard the words "precious drawings", his eyes froze, but he quickly returned to normal.
"You stupid boy, what precious drawings can you have?"
"It's just an exaggeration."
Although the old man paused for a moment, based on his experience, he quickly understood Cheng Qianmo's intention and did not fall for it.
At this time, Cheng Qianmo smiled slightly and took out a drawing from his pocket.
Then in front of the old man, he deliberately revealed a corner of his face.
But soon, he covered himself up.
"Hey, no one likes my drawing."
"Forget it, I'll go somewhere else."
Although the old man is not young, his eyes are not bad.
He could tell at a glance that the drawings in Cheng Qianmo's hands were unusual, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Wait a minute, where did you get this drawing?"
Even the tone of the old man's words has changed now, and his words are full of longing.
Cheng Qianmo looked at the old man's performance and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
That's it?
It’s not like I just fell into the trap.
"It was by chance that I met a big boss. He liked me and gave it to me."
The big boss in Cheng Qianmo's mouth was naturally none other than himself.
He just said this to avoid some trouble.
"Show it to me quickly!"
The old man seemed to be unable to wait any longer, and his eyes burst out with blazing light.
Cheng Qianmo showed a successful expression and continued: "I'll show you, it's the blacksmithing learning fee."
At this point, Cheng Qianmo stopped.
The old man said impatiently: "There is no study fee, there is elementary blacksmithing on the shelf on the right, take a look for yourself."
"Hurry up and give me this drawing to study."
Hey guys, I was charged 50 gold coins before, but now I’m giving it away for free.
This old man's temper is really hard to figure out.
Cheng Qianmo handed over the drawings and then walked to the shelf.
When he picked up Elementary Blacksmithing, his eyes were slightly closed.
Suddenly, a large number of elementary drawings and forging experience came into his mind.
[Congratulations, you successfully learned basic blacksmithing.]
[The lowest quality that can currently be created is excellent (green)]
[To advance to the intermediate level of blacksmithing, you still need 10,000 points of blacksmithing experience, please work harder!]
All Cheng Qianmo needs is the forging qualification. As for those elementary drawings, he doesn't really need them.
"The person who developed this blueprint is truly a genius."
"I've been working hard for so many years, but I still can't understand it!"
After reading the drawings, the old man looked up to the sky and sighed, with a look of sadness on his face.
The exquisiteness of this drawing completely exceeded the old man's imagination.
A weapon can be transformed into multiple forms at will without any conflict. This is simply a miracle!
In fact, this drawing was improved by Cheng Qianmo according to the characteristics of the Blue Star world based on the masterpieces completed by the two masters Ye and Su in the previous life.
This finished weapon is an umbrella in its daily state.
It can seamlessly connect various forms of weapons, which is much better than Cheng Qianmo's current [Weapon Switching (Passive)].
The reason why Cheng Qianmo spent so much effort to challenge major schools was to optimize the materials for the first stage.
"Since you can't understand, forget it."
Cheng Qianmo was about to take back the drawings, but the old man held on tightly and was unwilling to let go.
He finally understood that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary person. He had come to "fish" on purpose.
"No, no, no."
"Although I can't fully understand it, I can still understand the basic principles."
"Please allow me to also participate in the production."
"I provide all auxiliary raw materials for free!"
"In addition, you can also read intermediate to advanced blacksmithing books at will."
"Ok?"
The old man has long lost his previous arrogance, and now he only sees this drawing that spans the ages.
This peerless drawing was so attractive to him that he simply couldn't refuse it.
As long as he can participate in the production, he will have no regrets in his life!
So when he said these words just now, he used an almost pleading tone.
Cheng Qianmo thought for a while, forging accessories are also very expensive, and since someone is willing to provide them for free, it is not impossible.
What's more, with the help of this old man, the success rate can be greatly improved.
However, if the residual value can be squeezed, it still needs to be squeezed.
"It's not impossible, but I don't know what your level is yet."
"If you want to participate in the production, you must pass my test first!"
The corners of Cheng Qianmo's mouth raised slightly, but the old man nodded crazily after hearing this, without any intention of refusing.
In this way, Cheng Qianmo successfully turned away from customers and changed from a buyer's market to a seller's market!
