A middle-aged man in his thirties, with a medium build, stroked the blade with his fingers and asked.
"Yes."
Zhou Shu replied numbly.
His eyes wandered uncertainly on the wooden pile broken into two pieces.
A wooden pile with a diameter of nearly half a meter was cut into two pieces by yourself?
Although this body has been forged since childhood and is relatively strong, in terms of strength, it is only at the level of an ordinary adult...
Is it because the knife is too sharp?
This is unscientific...
Zhou Shu felt that his scientific knowledge was challenged. No matter how sharp the knife is, it must have enough force to cut off the wooden stake. This is basic junior high school physics knowledge...
But then again, this is not the earth, and the laws of physics are different?
Yes, there seems to be that kind of peerless strong man who can fly into the sky and escape from the earth here——
"Your name is Zhou Shu?"
Xiao Zongshui continued to ask.
"Yes."
Zhou Shu nodded.
"Your grandfather Zhou Guangzu and your father Zhou Niandong?"
"Yes."
Zhou Shu didn't know what the master meant, but he still answered honestly.
Xiao Zongshui is the head of the workshop and Zhou Shu's immediate boss, who directly determines Zhou Shu's life and death.
"Both of them are good, it's a pity."
Xiao Zongshui nodded and said, "You are also very good. Although this knife has not yet been graded, it can be regarded as a top-quality standard long knife."
"The best standard long knife?"
Zhou Shu was a little disappointed. It was just a top-quality long sword. It seemed impossible to become a weapon maker with this sword.
However, the disappointment only passed by for a moment. With the Divine Weapon Map, it was only a matter of time before he became a weapon maker.
A top-grade long sword is already powerful, but how powerful should a top-grade weapon be?
Zhou Shu's desire to become a weapons master became even stronger.
"At your age, you can forge the best standard long sword without any teacher. Your qualifications are much better than your grandfather and your father." Xiao Zongshui looked at Zhou Shu and continued, "Maybe one day, you can become a real swordsman."
Maybe the Weaponsmith."
"Then I would like to thank Mr. Xiao for his cultivation."
Zhou Shu cupped his hands and said.
"I didn't cultivate you."
Xiao Zongshui looked at Zhou Shu with a half-smile but not a smile, "Your father and ancestors didn't have such a lively mind as you. No wonder you can forge the best standard long sword."
"Master Xiao, thank you very much."
Zhou Shu said with some embarrassment that he had never practiced flattery in his previous life.
"Okay, here, if you do the job well, it will work better than anything else." Xiao Zongshui waved his hand and said, "This top-grade long knife is of high quality, and one can be as good as several ordinary long knives.
."
"In the future, as long as you cast this top-quality long knife, one can replace three ordinary long knives."
After Xiao Zongshui finished speaking, he left with his hands behind his back.
Whether intentionally or not, the sharp standard long knife in his hand was not returned to Zhou Shu, but was taken away directly...
"Xiao Bapi!"
After Xiao Zongshui walked away, Zhou Shu secretly spat.
A sharp standard long knife is definitely worth ten ordinary standard long knives, but when it comes to Xiao Zongshui, it is only worth three. What a shame!
After a few curses, Zhou Shu's anxious heart relaxed a little.
One sharp standard long knife can replace three ordinary standard long knives. His original monthly task was to hand in one hundred standard long knives, which converted into more than thirty sharp standard long knives. p>
For Zhou Shu, the difference in casting difficulty between the two types of long knives is not that big. In other words, his workload has actually been greatly reduced, and he will no longer have to work overtime in the future.
At the very least, the risk of sudden death has been eliminated...
Returning to his "doghouse", Zhou Shu lay on the hard wooden bed and couldn't sleep. After studying the map of the magic weapon for a long time, he simply got up and went to the work shed to get busy.
Soon after, a sharp standard long knife appeared in his hand again.
Zhou Shu looked satisfied. It seemed that he had indeed mastered the method of casting sharp standard long knives. In the future, even if he only relied on this skill, he would be able to make a living in the Forging Department.
"Huh——"
Zhou Shu was admiring his work with satisfaction when he suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind behind him.
He lowered his head subconsciously and felt a strong wind blowing on the back of his head, which made his scalp hurt.
"Bang——"
There was a muffled sound, as if something hit the anvil in front.
Zhou Shu's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and just by listening to the sound, he could tell that the thing was heavy.
If I hadn't dodged quickly just now, that thing would have hit my head instead of the anvil!
"Who!"
Zhou Shu turned around suddenly and shouted loudly.
"You'd better not move." A sinister voice sounded in Zhou Shu's ears, "I don't want your life, don't force me."
Opposite Zhou Shu, a tall and thin man stared at him coldly, holding a hammer for blacksmithing.
The hammer is the size of an adult's head, and the hammer handle is almost as tall as the man. If this thing is swung...
Zhou Shu seemed to have seen his head being smashed to pieces like a watermelon.
My whole body trembled, and I subconsciously clenched the sharp long knife in my hand, feeling a little safer.
"Who are you and what do you want to do!"
Zhou Shu said loudly, hoping that his voice would attract the attention of the surrounding workers.
Unfortunately, his plan failed, and the clanging sound of knocking around him did not stop at all, as if no one heard his voice.
The tall and thin man opposite Zhou Shu had a sarcastic look on his face.
"No need to waste your efforts. Even if you scream before dawn, no one will listen to you."
Zhou Shu's heart skipped a beat. Although he didn't know why this man was so determined, he also knew that no one would come to save him in a short time.
"The money is under the bed, take it all if you want it!"
Zhou Shu pointed to the wooden bed in the room and said loudly.
"I'm not interested in money!"
The tall and thin man's triangular eyes flashed with a sinister light, and he said coldly, "Hand over the secret recipe for the best standard long knife, and I will spare your life!"
The tall and thin man was holding a huge hammer and approaching Zhou Shu step by step. Looking at him, he was not afraid of the long knife in Zhou Shu's hand.
No matter how good the weapon is, it all depends on whose hands it is.
The tall and thin man obviously didn't take Zhou Shu seriously.
Zhou Shu's heart sank. Are you here for the secret recipe for making weapons?
He just forged a sharp standard long knife a few hours ago, so someone is interested so soon?
This is the workshop of the Weaponry Division, how dare he do that?
The exposure of the sharp standard long knife was beyond Zhou Shu's expectation. If he had known that the knife was so sharp, he would not have gone to the military inspection field to test the knife.
And he didn't expect that the news would spread so quickly. Not only did the person in charge, Xiao Zongshui, show up immediately and take away the knife, but now there was also this guy who was obviously a weapon-casting apprentice coming to rob him!
Zhou Shu stared at the tall and thin man. He did not know this man. There were 108 workshops in the Weaponry Division. The number 97 workshop he was in alone had hundreds of people. With so many people,
He can't have seen everyone.
Even if they knew each other, it is estimated that this tall and thin man would not care about the feelings of colleagues.
"Bang——"
The big hammer in the hand of the tall and thin man hit the place hard, making a dull sound.
He looked extremely thin, but he was very strong. The huge hammer seemed as light as nothing in his hand.
"Is a secret forging recipe that is not a high-grade weapon worth it?"
Zhou Shu gripped the sharp standard long knife, stared closely at the tall and thin man, and said.
"Hmph!" The tall and thin man snorted coldly. If it were the secret recipe for forging high-grade weapons, he wouldn't dare to steal it.
The secret recipe for forging high-grade weapons is the exclusive property of the weapon forger. Even if he takes it away, he has no way of keeping it.
The secret recipe for casting this top-notch weapon will not attract the attention of the master forging weapons, but it is also valuable enough to change one's own situation. This is the most suitable thing for ordinary weapon-making apprentices!
The tall and thin man was not in the mood to explain this to Zhou Shu. He held the handle of the hammer, his eyes fell on Zhou Shu like a hawk, and said coldly, "Give me the secret recipe!"
"The secret recipe for making weapons is here. If you want it, come and get it yourself!"
Zhou Shu pointed at his head. The next moment, he had already grasped the handle of the sharp standard long knife with both hands, and struck preemptively at the tall and thin man.
Zhou Shu didn't know martial arts, but he was young and strong. He even held a sharp weapon and used all his brute force to strike with great power.
A flash of disdain flashed across the face of the tall and lanky man. Although they were all apprentices of weapon casting, there were differences between people.
He had learned a set of martial arts under the guidance of an expert from his ancestors. Although he had not practiced any famous skills in his generation, his combat effectiveness was still far superior to that of ordinary people. He was considered invincible among the weapon-making apprentices.
.
It's okay for Zhou Shu to scare ordinary people with attacks like this, but is he an ordinary person?
The tall and thin man sneered, swinging his arms, and swung the big hammer from bottom to top. He was confident that with one blow, he could knock off the standard long knife from Zhou Shu's hand and break a few of his ribs.
!
"Ding——"
With a crisp sound, the hammer and the standard long knife collided together. The tall and thin man seemed to have seen the standard long knife being knocked away, and then Zhou Shu fell to the ground wailing, with a cruel smile on his face. p>
Suddenly, his ferocious smile froze on his face, and his eyes were full of horror and disbelief.
"Bang——"
The big hammer fell to the ground obliquely, and a clear line of blood appeared on the tall and thin man's chest. The blood line continued to spread, and after a while, blood poured out as if it was free.
"This - how is it possible!"
The tall and lanky man left his last words in the world, and then fell to the ground, refusing to rest in peace!
"The sharp standard long knife you forged caused a kill, and the reward was the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Kung Fu!"
The map of the divine weapons automatically appeared in front of Zhou Shu's eyes. The page flipped to the page about the sharp standard long knife, and a line of words like a barrage crossed the page.
Countless figures jumping up and down suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Shu's eyes, and a massive amount of information crashed into his mind instantly.
