Workshop No. 78 of the Forging Department, which originally belonged to Li Hongyuan, the head of Workshop No. 78, has now become a place where Zhou Shu competes with him.
Since the start of the competition, neither Li Hongyuan nor Xiao Zongshui and others have shown their faces again.
However, Zhou Shu knew that every move he made here would be communicated to Xiao Zongshui, Li Hongyuan and others at any time.
In his perception, there are at least five or six people around the courtyard monitoring the situation here at all times.
Zhou Shu didn't care too much about this. As long as the other party didn't lack the materials he needed and they were willing to see it, let them see it. They couldn't see the map of the divine weapons anyway.
In addition to Zhou Shu and a group of sad-looking apprentices, there are also two boys left by Zhu Chuanfeng in this courtyard, and Sun Pingping!
The three of them should be the most relaxed people in this courtyard, especially Sun Pingping, who completely regards this place as a resort!
I don't know where he found a rocking chair, and he sat not far from Zhou Shu's smelting furnace. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, he also teased Zhu Chuanfeng's two boys. He had a great time.
Zhou Shu was the busiest among them all. He kept forging weapons from morning to night every day. Of course, what he forged was the Hundred Refined Ring First Sword.
Now, the hundred-refined ring-shou sword he forged has been piled up in a big box, making Sun Pingping jealous.
Zhou Shu even doubted whether he wanted to steal these Bailian Huanshou swords and exchange them for money!
But if you think about it, it probably won’t be considered as reselling national strategic materials, which is a serious crime of treason.
On the other side, the weapon-making apprentices all had bitter expressions on their faces. They were not like Zhou Shu who continued to forge weapons, nor were they as relaxed as Sun Pingping and others.
They feel miserable because they have no ability to develop new standard weapons.
But if they can’t develop it, the person in charge will not let them go after this incident.
As for research and development, they don’t know where to start.
They really don’t know what else to do except beating themselves up every day to comfort themselves.
"I said, Lao Zhou, is it useful for you to cast these Hundred Refined Ring-Shou Swords all day long?"
Sun Pingping opened his mouth and spit out the grape skins accurately into a garbage basket, and said lazily, "I remember you are competing to see who can forge a new standard weapon, right?"
"If you don't come up with a new thing, what's the point of casting more Hundred-Refined Ring-Shou Swords?"
Half of the ten days had passed, and Sun Pingping couldn't figure out what Zhou Shu wanted to do by working so hard to forge the Hundred Refined Ring First Sword.
If you can't win, you might as well just admit defeat.
"You don't understand."
Zhou Shu said without raising his head, the hammer fell, and another hundred-refined ring-headed sword gradually took shape.
"I don't understand?"
Sun Pingping didn't know how many times he had heard such words, and he didn't even bother to refute. How could he, a genius warrior, not understand weapons?
"As long as you're happy. It's a pity that it's my first-class weapon."
Sun Pingping said in a tone.
Originally, Zhou Shu held the ownership of the First Sword of the Hundred Refining Ring, and he would become a big tycoon in the future, and Sun Ping Ping could also take advantage of it. Unfortunately, now, if Zhou Shu loses, the ownership of the First Sword of the Hundred Refining Ring will be lost.
It’s time to replace someone...
Zhou Shu raised his lips slightly and didn't pay attention to Sun Pingping's words at all.
Are you kidding, will he lose?
"Ding Dong——"
The last hundred-refined sword was thrown into the box, and the divine weapon map appeared in front of Zhou Shu's eyes.
The page turned without wind, and on the page with the Hundred Refining Ring First Sword, the number on the page had suddenly changed to one hundred.
The pages continued to turn, I don’t know how many pages they turned, and then writings and pictures began to slowly appear on the blank page, as if there was an invisible hand writing.
Although this was not the first time he saw this scene, Zhou Shu was still slightly excited.
Sure enough, after completing the Hundred Refining Ring First Sword, the next weapon appeared on the divine weapon map.
With this weapon, he wanted to see how Xiao Zongshui and the others could win!
Relying on my own efforts, I finally did it!
Zhou Shu threw down the hammer, walked to Sun Pingping, pulled up a chair and sat down.
Sun Pingping glanced at him in surprise, "Have you figured it out?"
"What to figure out?"
Zhou Shu asked.
"Don't you think that casting the Hundred Refined Ring First Sword is a useless effort, so you decided to admit defeat?"
Sun Pingping asked rhetorically.
"I'm telling you, you shouldn't have said that even if both sides can't cast it, you will lose. Now, okay, people won without doing anything -"
"Who said I have to admit defeat?"
Zhou Shu glanced at the weapon-making apprentices and said, "The person who can make me admit defeat is not even born yet."
"Crazy enough, I like it!"
Sun Pingping laughed loudly.
"I'm going to sleep, don't let anyone disturb me!"
After saying that, Zhou Shu entered Li Hongyuan's small building, found a bed, and fell asleep after a while.
Sun Pingping was dumbfounded. This brother has a bigger heart than him!
They didn't notice that when the meal delivery boy delivered the meal to the apprentices, he also gave them a piece of paper filled with writing.
For the next few days, Zhou Shu did not forge any more troops, but stayed at home and slept enough.
On the other side, the forging apprentices who had been working hard became more diligent. Like Zhou Shu before them, they began to forge day and night.
In Sun Pingping's view, they kept failing and trying again. Over the past few days, the iron materials hammered by several casting apprentices had gradually taken shape.
No matter how slow Sun Pingping reacted, he still realized something was wrong at this time. Did these weapon-making apprentices really develop a new standard weapon?
Thinking of this, Sun Pingping could not sit still. He jumped up and somersaulted into the small building.
"Lao Zhou, don't sleep, something is wrong!"
Zhou Shu was woken up by Sun Pingping, and he said unhappily, "The sky is falling?"
"You still want to sleep! Your opponent has really forged a new standard weapon!"
Sun Pingping said loudly.
"I expected it a long time ago."
Zhou Shu said calmly.
"Then you still want to sleep! If they succeed, you will lose!"

Sun Pingdao.
"Didn't you think I lost a long time ago?"
Zhou Shu smiled slightly and said he didn't care.
"That's different! If you don't cast it, you don't really lose." Sun Pingping shouted, "Now that the opponent has cast it, but you haven't, then you really lose!" p>
"If you lose, how will Her Royal Highness be embarrassed? Wouldn't that tell everyone that Her Royal Highness has misjudged the wrong person?"
"After doing this for a long time, you turned out to be worried about me."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said.
"Of course I'm worried about you too!" Sun Pingping said, "When the time comes, others will also regard you as a liar. How can you still be the boss of your workshop?"
"Okay, Sun Shenqing, I appreciate your kindness."
Zhou Shu laughed and said, "I said, I won't lose."
"But I'm a little curious, what did Xiao Zongshui and Li Hongyuan come up with?"
If the weapon-casting apprentices developed a new standard weapon on their own, not to mention Zhou Shu would not believe it, even the weapon-casting apprentices themselves would not believe it.
No need to think about it, Xiao Zongshui and Li Hongyuan must have obtained a secret weapon-making recipe from somewhere, and then secretly sent it to the weapon-making apprentices.
This is their territory anyway, and it’s easy for them to do this.
Zhou Shu did not doubt whether Xiao Zongshui and the others were able to obtain the secret recipe for a new standard weapon.
They can even invite the master craftsman Zhu Chuanfeng to help develop a secret recipe for a new standard weapon. It is not a problem.
Anyway, they don’t ask how powerful this new standard weapon is.
It is not easy to create a weapon that is stronger than the Huben Sword or the Bailian Huanshou Sword, but it is not too difficult for a weapon maker to create a standard weapon that is usable.
However, Zhou Shu believed that even a weapon maker would not be able to create a very good standard weapon within a short period of time.
If you want to win against him, it is possible unless Zhu Chuanfeng takes action himself.
Even if Zhu Chuanfeng takes action himself, it is only possible. Even a master craftsman cannot make standard weapons made of ordinary iron materials have much power.
It's stronger than the Huben Sword and the Bailian Huanshou Sword, but it's not that easy.
In the past, there were no weapon casters who tried to improve the power of standard weapons, but due to the limitations of ordinary iron materials, the results were never satisfactory. Gradually, no weapon casters were willing to waste that effort.
For weapon makers, high-grade weapons are the weapons worthy of their real efforts. Some precious weapon-making materials can only be used to forge high-grade weapons. Standard weapons have come to an end, and there is nothing left to study!<
/p>
"Sun Dashen, come on, let's go see what crap those guys have made."
Zhou Shu jumped up from the bed and walked outside.
Sun Pingping frowned. It was already the ninth day. He didn't understand how Zhou Shu, who had been sleeping for two or three days, could be confident that he would win.
With only one day left, can he still create a new standard weapon?
How can it be so easy to create weapons!
Seeing that Zhou Shu had gone out, Sun Pingping frowned and hurriedly followed.
……
"Look, they are really going to cast it. What do you think we should do now?" Sun Pingping pointed at the weapon-casting apprentices and said, "This time we will be very embarrassed!"
"We have been making trouble for a long time, but you are just afraid of being embarrassed? This has nothing to do with you, and you will not be embarrassed if you are embarrassed."
Zhou Shu said, "Besides, if they want to defeat me just with this kind of rags, they may not underestimate me too much!"
"What do you mean?"
Sun Pingping didn't understand what he meant and asked in confusion.
"It means, work has started."
Zhou Shu shook his shoulders and grabbed the hammer.
"It's time for them to see what real technology is!"
"You mean?"
Sun Pingping said in disbelief.
"Sun Dashen, are you ready to witness the miracle?"
Zhou Shu swung his arm, and the hammer drew a mysterious line in the air, and landed heavily on the anvil. Sparks flew everywhere, and there was a crisp and distant clang.
