After the old man and his granddaughter left, the steward's eyes suddenly became kind when he looked at Chen Mo.
"My name is Bo Langtai. I really didn't expect that the person my old man talked about along the way was you. What a coincidence. Since you want to be an apprentice here, although I am just a steward, I can help you.
Now, don’t worry.”
"That's great!"
Chen Mo said excitedly and gave the other party the coins he had taken out before, but was pushed back by Brantai.
"Although I am greedy for money, I still have to look at who I am dealing with."
After speaking with a righteous look, he took Chen Mo to the blacksmith shop and shouted: "We have a new apprentice, with a monthly salary of two silver coins."
After making a loud announcement, Brantai took Chen Mo to the backyard of the blacksmith shop.
In the backyard of the blacksmith shop, there are six huge furnaces and a large amount of iron ore stacked up.
These ores must be heated and melted at high temperatures before the pig iron needed for forging farm tools and ordinary weapons can be initially extracted. Several apprentices are working hard with sweat.
Brantai soon called over a tall man with dark skin.
"Hei Laogui, this is the new apprentice, my distant relative, please take care of me."
The man known as the Black Old Ghost heard this and patted Chen Mo on the shoulder. Due to Chen Mo's practice of boy skills, his foot was quite stable. In addition, his strength value had reached 16 points. Among ordinary people, it can be said that
It was outstanding, and Hei Laogui's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, he is a good young man. If he is willing to endure hardships, he may be promoted to a second-level apprentice within half a year."
When Bolantai saw this, he nodded and smiled.
He warned Chen Mo: "You stay here first and work with the old black guy. After you have no problem here, I will find a way to transfer you up."
"OK!"
Seeing that Chen Mo did not show dissatisfaction and looked down-to-earth, Bo Langtai couldn't help but smile with relief and left the backyard.
After Bolantai left, Hei Laogui motioned for Chen Mo to follow him.
"Take it off."
Chen Mo didn't waste any time, and immediately took off his shirt like everyone else, exposing all his tendons.
When the other apprentices who were busy saw this, they couldn't help but take a second look. Hei Laogui began to demonstrate step by step the specific work content of the first-level apprentice.
After all, this guy is a relative in charge. You should control your temper when dealing with him in the future.
"First-level apprentices do the hardest and most tiring work. To refine pig iron from these ores, you need to crush the large pieces of ore first and then pour them into the furnace one by one. At the same time, you must pay attention to the heat. Every time
After a period of time, add fire through the blower. The temperature and rules require you to constantly observe and understand. Once the amount of iron ore inside is sufficient, remove the pig iron inside as soon as possible..."
I have to say.
This is a dirty and tiring chore, and it is also the initial stage of honing ancient skills.
The first day is undoubtedly the hardest and most tiring.
It not only required Chen Mo to concentrate and listen to the demonstrations and reasonings of the black man, but also required Chen Mo to practice and work continuously. Therefore, at the end of the day, not only was he physically exhausted, but his mind was also a little dazed, and it seemed that he would fall asleep as soon as he lay down.
Such an amount of exercise has already exceeded the basic training requirements of Tong Zi Gong.
After briefly washing up in the bathroom of the blacksmith shop, Chen Mo ate something on the street. As soon as he got home, he wanted to lie down on the bed and sleep. However, he thought that after the day's rest, the energy in his body had been restored, so he steeled himself
, after squandering all the energy in his body, he fell into a drowsy sleep.
Early the next morning.
"Good morning."
Chen Mo had just arrived on the roof and was about to practice, when he heard Wayne's voice.
This little guy had obviously been waiting for a while and was looking at Chen Mo expectantly.
Although he was surprised, the process of practicing Tongzi Kung Fu was not something shameful. After Chen Mo greeted the little guy with a smile, he began to practice wholeheartedly. During the process of Zamabu, he kept persevering, waiting for the purple
The moment when anger comes from the east.
After seeing Chen Mo's weird posture, Wayne also started to learn from it.
So the two people, one big and one small, walked quietly, waiting for the sunrise to come.
After the sun completely rose above the horizon, Chen Mo exhaled the turbid air in his chest, looked at the little guy sitting on the ground beside him, panting from exhaustion, and couldn't help but smile.
Wayne pouted and pleaded, refusing to admit defeat: "Uncle Chen Mo, can you teach me?"
Chen Mo was not disgusted with this little guy, and he seemed to see some shadows of his childhood in him. Moreover, with this little guy by his side, the next nearly one year of practice would be a little fun.
So he said: "Learn from me. If you want to achieve something, it will not happen overnight. As long as you are not lazy."
"real?"
Wayne seemed a little unbelievable that Chen Mo actually agreed to him.
He immediately said excitedly: "It's a deal!"
"Wayne, come back for dinner."
Wayne's mother's voice came from below again. Seeing the little guy hurried downstairs, Chen Mo jumped off the roof when he saw no one around.
With the support of Basic Jump Level 6, Chen Mo floated to the ground like an expert and walked towards the Bailianjin Blacksmith Shop to start a new day.
…
That's it.
Before I knew it, two months had passed.
In the past two months, Chen Mo has been very low-key and has a very regular life schedule. He has completely adapted to his role as an apprentice in the blacksmith shop in Glory City and integrated into the life of ordinary people in Meishi Street.
I took Wade to practice in the early morning, squandering all the energy in his body and the energy in the cyclops eye mask, and went to the blacksmith shop to get busy. After returning in the evening, he squandered all the energy restored in the body and the energy accumulated in the cyclops eye mask to improve his skill proficiency.
When I have free time, I drink wine and brag with Vince.
This guy is also like Chen Mo. After becoming an apprentice in the herbal medicine studio, he dived into the herb pile and learned how to identify and deal with the miscellaneous herbs. The patience and observation required were no less easy than Chen Mo's.
So this pair of brothers and sisters naturally began to complain and encourage each other.
What I have to mention is.
After Chen Mo experienced the initial confusion, after two months of study, he was not only competent at his daily work, but also able to learn from his lessons and arrange his working time more rationally. This not only improved his work efficiency, but also amazed the old man.
.
It means that Chen Mo may really have a chance to become the new blacksmith of the blacksmith shop in the future.
certainly.
How much of this is sincere, or whether it is simply out of flattery for the manager, is unclear.
But in the end, Chen Mo’s life was more fulfilling and smoother.
This also made him sigh that helping the grandfather and grandson was indeed the right choice. It laid a solid foundation for his future life in Glory City. Without the care of the steward, Chen Mo would not have been hindered by this, but
It will definitely not be as smooth as it is now.
Chen Mo's attribute panel, after two months of hard work, not only added a basic alchemy item, but also upgraded the basic alchemy from Lv1 to Lv3. The speed is not unpleasant.
This way.
As Chen Mo gradually became familiar with the work of a first-level apprentice, when he went back in the evening, he even had some free time to chat with his neighbors.
Here we need to mention the level classification of blacksmiths.
The first is the apprentice. Glory City is divided into three levels.
The first-level apprentice is undoubtedly Chen Mo's current job, responsible for smelting slag and refining pig iron. Generally speaking, apprentices with better qualifications can be promoted in about a year if they are diligent and willing to work.
The second-level apprentice is responsible for casting the pig iron into tools. A qualified apprentice will be able to start his own business after at least two or three years of training.
The blacksmith shop owners in each castle are basically of this level.
As for the third-level apprentice, it is the highest level apprentice. Its skills will also be extended to sewing, carving, and making props such as armor, shoes, and jewelry. This type of apprentice is almost the limit of those with mediocre blacksmithing qualifications.
Above that, there is the blacksmith.
The evaluation criteria for a blacksmith is to be able to independently refine iron essence and forge magic items.
Although blacksmiths are also divided into different levels based on their skills, the standard that Glory City can reach is only a first-level blacksmith. The magic materials required by higher-level blacksmiths cannot be provided by Glory City at all.
This day.
After leading Wayne to practice on the roof, Chen Mo squandered all the energy in his body and was about to leave to start a new day when he suddenly received a reminder.
Tip: Your despicable telekinesis skill proficiency level +1.
Tip: Your despicable telekinesis shield skill proficiency level reaches Lv4, and additional attributes are activated.
Lv4 additional attributes: When the effect of the despicable mind shield is maximized, you can gain speed +2, basic footwork +2, and basic jump +2, which lasts for 10 minutes and cannot be superimposed repeatedly.
"The Despicable Man's telekinesis shield has finally been upgraded to Level 4!"
By the way, two weeks ago, Chen Mo's proficiency in corrosion ball skills reached Level 2.
However, since it is only a proficiency level increase from Lv1 to Lv2, the skill damage is fixed damage, so there is no change in attributes, so there is no need to mention it further.
However, the proficiency of the Despicable Man's telekinesis shield has been improved from Lv3 to Lv4, achieving a qualitative change.
At this moment, after Chen Mo saw the extra attributes of the Despicable Man's Telekinesis Shield Level 4, after thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up.
Because of his talent as a time traveler, all of Chen Mo's telekinesis skills are divided into two different release modes: positive and negative. The negative skills that were once used on the enemy can be converted into gain skills when used on one's own side.
Skills can become negative skills when used on the enemy.
At this moment, Chen Mo's Despicable Man's Mental Power Shield Lv4 additional attributes can be said to be quite superior.
At least attributes such as speed +2, basic footwork +2, and basic jumping +2. For low-end natural disaster victims, the increase is almost obvious.
What's more, Chen Mo can also reverse release on enemy units.
With this increase and decrease, the speed gap between the two sides will undoubtedly widen further. Just the Lv4 additional attribute of the skill is already quite good.
certainly.
The effect of such a high-intensity gain skill also has limitations.
That is, the despicable person's telekinesis shield must be used to its maximum effect before it can take effect.
In other words, within 20 seconds after releasing the skill, if there is no external attack, the additional attributes of speed +2, basic footwork +2, and basic jump +2 can be obtained, which is quite consistent with the characteristics of this skill.
Despicability is the passport of the despicable, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble.
