Among the several intermediate life skills, smelting is one that is relatively easy to practice. Its main material is ore, and compared with the materials required for other life skills, this thing is the easiest to obtain, as long as it is not a rare ore.
Although there was already a high-end smelting expert like Momo in the guild, if it was purely used as a springboard, Chu Nan felt that the cost of time and money to practice smelting would be the lowest, so he ran to learn smelting without hesitation.
Practicing the most basic smelting technique is very simple, which is to refine the excavated ore into pure materials, such as refining iron from iron ore, refining black iron from black iron ore, refining gold from gold ore, etc., so in order to
In order to reduce the cost of leveling, Chu Nan chose to use the lowest level iron ore that almost no one wanted. As a result, when he sent a letter to Momo to get these things, he was immediately sprayed with blood by Momo.
.
"You want to buy this rubbish from me? Do you think I am a rubbish picker?"
Chu Nan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, because iron ore is really worthless ore. Junior amateur diggers will probably throw it to the blacksmith to sell it. High-end professional ones will basically throw it away after digging it.
Because ores take up a lot of space in backpacks, sometimes if some players are short of money, they can pick up a backpack full of "junk" ores by running around in the mines.
Momo, which only sells high-end products, couldn't get iron ore from there, so Chu Nan had no choice but to run non-stop to Xuegu Village, which was a high-yield area for this kind of garbage mine.
After arriving, he immediately set up a stall and shouted at the top of his voice: "We are collecting garbage iron ore. The price is 50 (percent) higher than that of the blacksmith. If you have any, hurry up."
Although there are also mines discovered on the volcanic island, it is still not as popular as this small snow valley village.
"What a rich man, you should practice your smelting skills. We all went to the mine to pick it up, but you collected it outside." A person next to him said,
"Time is money." Chu Nan said with a smile. After all, he had this time to pick up minerals, so he might as well go mining by himself.
The price was 50 (percent) higher than that from the blacksmith, which quite attracted some junior diggers. After a while, Chu Nan collected a backpack full of iron ore. Even if he smelted and harvested at the same time, he still couldn't catch up.
The quantity to be sold later.
After putting on the Ring of Practice Makes Perfect, my proficiency level increased very quickly, and it went up quickly.
The most basic smelting technique only requires refining basic ordinary ores to increase proficiency, but as the level increases to the intermediate level, refining basic ordinary ores has no effect. At this time, the pure iron that Chu Nan had previously produced
This is where it comes in handy, because refined iron can be obtained by smelting pure iron. In many equipment forgings, refined iron is needed, and the price is about 1 gold coin. From iron ore to pure iron to refined iron
, this is a common way for most players to practice smelting to an advanced level. After all, the cost is the lowest compared to using other ores.
"Collect pure iron, the price is 20 (percent) higher than the market price, collect in large quantities, and some will come." When the pure iron on hand was used up, Chu Nan immediately set his sights on the ready-made iron on the market. After all, he had to do it himself
From iron smelting ore to pure iron, it is really time-consuming.
"This is too fast..." There are several people practicing smelting skills around. They naturally understand what pure iron is used for, which means that the smelting skills have been upgraded to the intermediate level.
They all collected materials, but in their eyes, the improvement speed was still abnormally fast.
However, Chu Nan didn't explain anything and continued to practice hard. The success rate of refining refined iron was relatively low, but with doubled proficiency, Chu Nan felt that reaching an advanced level was just around the corner.
In the process of developing advanced smelting skills, in order to maximize the space occupied in his backpack, Chu Nan basically collected pure iron and sold refined iron at the same time. An hour and a half later, with a prompt from the system, his smelting skills finally improved.
When he reached an advanced level, he could be called a rocket. When he stood up and called it a day, the people around him couldn't help but look at him in shock.
The three intermediate life skills of refining medicine, forging, and smelting have all reached advanced levels. Naturally, Chu Nan's next goal is to go straight back to Glory City to find a scholar.
He quickly disposed of the fine iron on hand at a price slightly lower than the market price, then exhaled Xiaohei and ran towards the valley path outside Snow Valley Village.
After arriving at Glory City, Chu Nan immediately found the scholar and expressed his intention to come.
The elderly scholar patted his gray-white clothes and said: "There is no end to learning, so let me test you. But before that, I need to collect a test fee of 5 gold coins."
Chu Nan was already prepared for this and immediately handed over 5 gold coins.
After the scholar accepted the 5 gold coins with a smile, he suddenly smiled and said: "Well - let's start the first part. I have 50 phrases here. Each group contains 4 words. Please pick out the one with typos in each phrase.
, if the accuracy rate reaches more than 80%, I will admit that you have passed the first level."
After hearing this, Chu Nan's face was covered with sweat, and he yelled depressedly in his stomach: Damn, my Chinese teacher died early! Isn't this a trick on me? And... this is actually the first part! In other words, after this,
There’s more below the title!
Thinking of this, Chu Nan couldn't help but feel a little confused. He regretted not jumping out to prepare in advance. After all, the previous test questions were very simple. The simplest literacy and the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division were only required by primary school students. But now
At this level, primary school students would probably be dumbfounded after seeing it.
But now that it has started, the time is limited, and the amount of questions is still very large, Chu Nan has to bite the bullet and pick the wrong words.
The result of the test was naturally very tragic, half of it wrong. This made Chu Nan, who had come with full confidence, immediately frustrated.
The scholar shook his head and said, "Hey, young man, it seems you are not fully prepared yet. Go back and improve yourself before coming back."
In desperation, Chu Nan had to temporarily jump out of the game and search for relevant information on the Internet. He immediately found an article - "1,000 Idiom Question Banks for Cheating Scholars", which claimed that as long as you memorize them all, you will be able to
The pass rate of a level can reach over 90 (percent).
Chu Nan immediately felt like stars were flashing in his eyes. The 1,000...commonly used idioms were all collected, right? It would be impossible to memorize them all, it would be unforgivable!
While eating, Ou Bu Man was surprised to find that Chu Nan was holding a small stack of A4 printing paper there and looking at it seriously, muttering something. He couldn't help but glance at it and chuckled: "Hey, the sun is hitting the west.
Come out?"
Chu Nan glanced at him and said, "I was forced to do this by that cheating scholar."
Xiao Dao took a sip of water and said in surprise: "You went to attack the high-level educated youth?"
"Yes." Chu Nan replied sadly.
"Hey, my Chinese teacher died early, and my math teacher died early, so I have no hope at all in the academic level, unless someone comes up with a very effective cheating method."
"Hasn't anyone else tried this?" Chu Nan looked around the table and asked.
Everyone else was stunned, and only Momo laughed happily: "Hehehehe... I guess I am the only one who has passed the entire guild. Hey, sister, I am Bingxue, smart and talented. There is no pressure at all. But.
, that level of difficulty is quite acceptable, and it is difficult to advance to the scholar level later. I have already defeated it once, and I don’t plan to continue. Anyway, the later ones seem to have no impact on life skills. But it is said that there are people who are more advanced than scholars.
For university students, the level of difficulty is simply astonishing. There are 10 levels in total, covering Chinese, Mathematics, English, Politics, History, Physics, Chemistry, and Logical Reasoning. It is estimated that only the legendary academic master who dominates all subjects can pass it."
"How can a top student have time to play games?" Chu Nan said.
"Don't tell me, there's another one right here." The concave and convex man pointed at his glasses and said.
The glasses pushed up the frame on the bridge of his nose, and he said sheepishly: "I'm seriously biased, and I'm not interested in life skills either."
"It seems that you are interested in leveling up and fighting bosses. You are almost like Ling Emperor, you are crazy about leveling up." Chu Nan muttered.
"Yes, talking about the issue of level." The concave and convex man suddenly faced Chu Nan seriously and said, "Aren't you holding everyone back a bit?"
Tsk, if I hold you back, how can I be more delayed than you? Chu Nan thought in his heart, but of course, he agreed: "Don't worry, I will start the rocket upgrade mode as soon as I finish the scholar."
Throughout the whole day, Chu Nan held the small stack of A4 paper while eating and going to the toilet. It was not until he felt good about himself that he went to the scholar again to take the test.
But this time, Chu Nan finally passed the first level with an accuracy rate of 85 (percent). The second level was a slightly more complicated mathematical calculation. Fortunately, Chu Nan's math teacher did not die early. This time
He passed the test without any pressure.
System prompt: Congratulations to the player, the knowledge level has been improved to an advanced educated youth.
System prompt: In view of the continuous improvement of the player's knowledge level and comprehension ability, 1 point of SP is obtained.
Even though it was so boring to memorize idioms with the stack of A4 paper, when Chu Nan saw the reward of 1 SP, he suddenly felt that everything was worth it. 1 SP would be a book of enlightenment.
, how can it be so easy, just memorize a few idioms and you can get it.
Young people with advanced knowledge are a stepping stone to enter the field of advanced life skills. As for what Momo said, there are two levels of scholars and university scholars. Since even Momo has been defeated, Chu Nan has no interest in self-abuse.
.
Among the advanced life skills Chu Nan knows so far, the most valuable one should be jewelry processing, that is, the production of jewelry. In Glory, the drop rate of jewelry is low, and Chu Nan has more detailed instructions for making jewelry.
I have never seen one before. It is as rare as the number of players who master jewelry processing. But the rarer it is, the more its value is proved.
