Walk into Gengxin City and walk on this urban street full of metallic atmosphere.
The two of them looked around at the large and small blacksmith shops, sighing in their hearts.
I'm afraid only this city can have so many blacksmith shops, right?
Arriving at a nice hotel, Oscar booked two upper rooms.
When they opened the room, they discovered that there were complete and excellent smelting and forging tools in the upper room.
"Good guy! Is this a blacksmith-themed hotel?"
After circling the furnace, Oscar clicked his tongue.
After taking a short rest, they walked out of the room. After asking for the direction of the Blacksmiths Association, the two of them walked in that direction.
Passing by a large blacksmith shop, Oscar suddenly stopped and his eyes suddenly stopped on a piece of crystal with a dark yellow color.
"Plate crystal?"
Whispering softly, Oscar's eyes flashed with light.
There used to be such a small piece of Flanders, but unfortunately he didn't pay too much attention to it at that time. However, Oscar didn't think about it until Tang San used the Dragon Beard Needle.
At present, the Zhuge Liannu in Oscar's hand has no arrows. If he encounters an enemy with a large number of people in the future, he will obviously lack a way to save his life.
Oscar cannot get the Dragon Beard Needle.
But Oscar believes that as long as he explores more, he should still be able to use it and make something extraordinary.
Different paths lead to the same goal. As long as you take advantage of the characteristics of this thing, the power will not be much different.
Seeing Oscar and the two standing at the entrance of the store and not leaving for a long time, the young man who was still drinking tea and resting took a shrewd glance at the two people's clothes. He just walked out, respectfully welcomed them in, and introduced his family.
Products.
"Dear guest, do you need anything? Our Liu's Blacksmith Shop is one of the twenty-five blacksmith shops in the city with master blacksmiths. Our products..."
Listening to the young man's introduction, Oscar also had an impression in his mind.
In the original book, blacksmiths are divided into seven levels, from low to high: junior blacksmith, intermediate blacksmith, senior blacksmith, master blacksmith, master blacksmith, master blacksmith, and divine blacksmith.
It is indeed rare to find a blacksmith shop with a master blacksmith like theirs.
Seeing that Oscar was a little distracted, his eyes were not looking at the counter, and the young man did not introduce too much.
He immediately took out an album, handed it to Oscar, and said respectfully.
"Guest, this is an album of some products in our store. It contains the price details of all items in the temple. If you need to create special supplies, we will charge additional fees."
Looking at the products in the album, Oscar nodded to express his satisfaction.
Just when Oscar was about to buy the plate crystal, he purchased a batch of high-quality metal.
Outside the door of the blacksmith shop, a rapid and excited voice suddenly burst out.
"Brother Meng! The Blacksmith Association has issued an announcement! It seems that a blacksmith competition will be held in a while!!!"
"Same as before, as long as you meet the intermediate blacksmith qualifications! And you are no more than thirty years old, you can participate!"
Upon hearing the news, the face of the young man who received Oscar suddenly changed and he apologized to Oscar repeatedly.
"Dad! I want to go to the Blacksmiths Association! The guests in front of me! You can receive them yourself!"
After shouting something into the blacksmith shop, the young man disappeared into the crowd along with the man outside the door in the blink of an eye.
Opening the curtain, a shirtless, strong middle-aged man walked out from the back of the lobby.
"You bastard! Why are you so anxious? You don't know what your level is? Although your father is not as high as President Lou, I am still a blacksmith. How can I teach you, a bastard? Even if I can't, can't your grandpa?
Taught?"
Glancing at the door, the young man had disappeared. The middle-aged man knocked down the hammer in his hand and complained angrily.
Putting away the hammer, the middle-aged man wiped his hands, then faced Oscar and the two with an apologetic smile and said.
"Two guests, I have neglected you two, please forgive me."
"To express my apology, I will give you a 10% discount on all the items you purchased this time!"
Looking at the middle-aged man who somewhat resembled a young man, Oscar put down the album in his hand and said curiously.
"This uncle, what they just said..."
Seeing that Oscar was a little curious, the middle-aged man answered very casually.
"Hey, for these two distinguished guests, this is not a big deal! This is just an internal competition held every five years within our blacksmith."
"As long as you pass the test set by the competition, the master craftsman Lou Gao will be accepted as a disciple! However, that bad old man is very bad. The tests he sets are never fixed. Sometimes they are wild and unpretentious, and sometimes they are simple and unpretentious.
In the first three sessions, no one passed."
"It doesn't matter if you don't pass. The old man also invited many master-level blacksmiths. Those people's requirements are not as demanding as the old man. Even if you fail to pass the set test, as long as you gain their favor, you may still be accepted as their apprentice.
”
"The future development is also quite good."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Originally, I was still worried that I would not have the chance to meet Lou Gao, but now it seems that a ready opportunity is right in front of Oscar.
The only thing that gives Oscar a headache is the issue of blacksmith level.
Although he also knows some simple forging and smelting techniques, after all, he still learned the wild way from ordinary blacksmiths.
If he were asked to take the intermediate blacksmith exam, he would not be confident.
After putting the plate crystal and some relatively good-quality metals into the soul guide, Oscar followed the flow of people.
Soon, a tall building came into view. The huge building was about ten feet tall. On the bright silver metal door plaque were engraved with four powerful characters - Blacksmiths Association.
As the two people continued to get closer, the flow of people became more and more crowded.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
It wasn't until the two of them arrived at this tall building that they discovered that near the public notice board next to the building, there were already three floors inside and three floors outside, surrounded by a large group of shirtless strong men.
Amid the strong smell of sweat, I squeezed into the inner perimeter of the bulletin board.
Oscar pinched his nose and read the announcement carefully. When it was confirmed that the start time would be one month later, Oscar felt relieved in his heart.
"It turns out it's a month later! That's not bad! There is still time to learn skills!"
Since everyone had passed the exam relatively close, Oscar's remarks in a low voice immediately aroused the laughter of the person next to him.
Looking sideways, a dark-skinned strong man looked at Oscar with disdain and said sarcastically.
"Boy! You're so skinny, but you still want to participate in the blacksmith competition?"
"Don't hit yourself halfway with the hammer!"
The strong man's speech immediately attracted a burst of ridicule. It seemed that everyone present felt that Oscar was just humiliating himself by participating in this competition.
"Boy! Go back and practice! With your physique, it's impossible to be a good blacksmith! Change your profession quickly!"
"That's it, stop daydreaming. If you go to this blacksmith competition, you will be at the bottom. Don't be embarrassed here!"
"Hahaha! Don't worry, let him compete! Maybe he can break the worst record! If no one passes this time, it will still be fun to watch!"
"Hahahaha..."
All of a sudden, all kinds of ridiculing words came from all around.
The cold light suddenly appeared, Zhu Zhu's face was as sinking as water, and he was immediately ready to teach the strong man who took the lead.
But just as he raised his hand, Oscar stopped him.
Shaking his head gently, Oscar signaled not to do anything.
Oscar was indeed a little angry at the ridicule of these people, but as a newcomer, Oscar still chose to tolerate it.
He didn't want to have a negative impact on Lou Gao by causing trouble in front of the Blacksmiths Association.
Ignoring the crowd's ridicule, Oscar pulled the candle and withdrew from the crowd.
