Du Gaoge was startled and said in surprise: "Blacksmith assessment?"
"Exactly."
"Haha, I wonder which level of blacksmith assessment Master Ou wants to take?" Du Gaoge said solemnly: "Although the application for the assessment has been closed, the masters responsible for the assessment should sell a thin noodle to our IKEA Pavilion."
Ouyang Ming thought for a while, although Yan Yuanhua had said that as long as he had the title of intermediate blacksmith, he could meet Master Wu Hongxi. However, Ouyang Ming didn't want to end up just looking at it from a distance. He also wanted to have a good discussion with Master Wu Hongxi on forging skills.
The forging skills displayed on that long sword are extremely mysterious, especially the processing of the word balance, which can be done within seconds to millimeters. At this time, even if he closed his eyes, he could clearly recall the strong shock he felt when he first saw the sword.
Perhaps Master Wu Hongxi could not forge a magic weapon, but the handling of the fine details of the fine equipment gave Ouyang Ming an eye-opening feeling.
Therefore, Ouyang Ming wanted to meet him openly and as an equal.
"I want to take the super blacksmith assessment." Ouyang Ming finally made his decision.
"Super?" Du Gaoge was startled, and his expression suddenly became weird. It turns out that this extremely young-looking young man in front of me is actually a senior blacksmith.
Although the senior blacksmith was not the top among the capital, but looking at Ouyang Ming's young face, Du Gaoge vaguely understood.
Perhaps the chief shopkeeper of Changlong County values this son's future.
He is already a senior blacksmith at such a young age. If he obtains the qualification of a super blacksmith this time, he might really be noticed in the Wanbao Conference.
When he thought of this, the smile on his face couldn't help but become more sincere, and he quickly said flatteringly: "Master Ou is young and is already a senior blacksmith. His future prospects are really limitless!"
Ouyang Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "Shop Master Du has misunderstood. I am not a senior blacksmith."
Although Du Gaoge, as the shopkeeper of IKEA Pavilion, had long developed the ability to remain calm, the smile on his face could not help but stiffen at this moment. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Master Ou is not a senior blacksmith, could he be... intermediate?" He murmured: "Intermediate blacksmiths want to directly participate in the super assessment. This is against the rules... "
However, Ouyang Ming still shook his head and said: "I am not an intermediate blacksmith."
Du Gao's singing voice stopped suddenly. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Master Ou, what level of blacksmith are you? Haha, it can't be like never. Have you participated in the level assessment?" His last words were somewhat joking.
However, Ouyang Ming nodded slightly and said, "Shopkeeper Du is right. I have never participated in the blacksmith's level assessment."
Du Gaoge's lips trembled violently several times, and he looked at Ouyang Ming with incredible eyes.
If he hadn't been sure that the jade card in the opponent's hand was indeed given by the chief shopkeeper of Changlong County, he would have almost suspected that the opponent was deliberately looking for trouble.
"Ou, Master Ou, are you saying that this is your first time taking the blacksmith assessment, and you want to directly take the super assessment?"
Ouyang Ming smiled and said: "Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Please take care of yourself, Shopkeeper Du."
Du Gaoge's eyes darkened slightly, and he cursed in his heart, what a waste of time! No matter how hard you try, you can never do this!
He looked at Ouyang Ming, and what he was thinking in his mind was completely different from what he had just now.
Where did the chief shopkeeper of Changlong County find such a strange thing? Does he understand what the blacksmith assessment is
His temples beat faintly for a few times. Du Gaoge finally suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Master Ou, I have a detailed inquiry. I wonder why the chief shopkeeper of Changlong County recommended you to participate in the Wanbao Conference?"
His question was actually quite rude, but he had already been angered by Ouyang Ming's previous performance and could no longer suppress the suspicion in his heart.
Ouyang Ming seemed unaware. He still smiled lightly and said: "I have some skills in identification and some experience in selecting rough stones. Haha, maybe this is why Shopkeeper Lin invited me here."
"Identification technique, rough stones." Du Gaoge's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "I see, haha, Master Ou, we happened to have a batch of unidentified equipment and some rough stones in our store. If it is convenient, can you give us an evaluation? ?”
Ouyang Ming laughed dumbly and said, "Does Shopkeeper Du want to test me?"
Du Gaoge said quickly: "Master Ou is joking. You are a distinguished guest recommended by the chief shopkeeper of Changlong County. How dare I have such thoughts. But..." He muttered: "The blacksmith assessment is not a trivial matter, and I don't know. How many people are paying attention to this, so..."
He drawled his voice and looked at Ouyang Ming meaningfully, his expression clearly meant that. If you want me to do something, you must first show some real skills to convince me.
If it were another distinguished guest holding a jade plaque, Du Gaoge might not dare to do this. But Ouyang Ming was too young and his words were too unreliable, which made Du Gaoge suspicious.
"Okay." Ouyang Ming chuckled. He stood up decisively and said, "Let's go."
Du Gaoge was slightly startled. He was beating a drum in his heart. With such an expression on his face, could this kid have some real talent? However, he immediately suppressed his curiosity and took Ouyang Ming to a warehouse.
This is an important place in the IKEA Pavilion. If you don't have a certain status, don't even think about getting close.
When they entered the warehouse, there were two strong men following them. These two men made no secret of their actions and made it clear that they were responsible for supervision.
Du Gaoge came to a big table, pointed to the scattered equipment on it, and said: "Master Ou, please."
Ouyang Ming smiled slightly. He had not encountered this kind of situation for a long time. Now that he saw it, he felt a little nostalgic.
"Shop Manager Du, as far as I know, according to the rules of IKEA, three appraisers are required to appraise the equipment together before they can grade the equipment." Ouyang Ming asked casually.
Du Gaoge chuckled lightly and said: "It's okay, just give it a try, it doesn't have to be so formal."
Ouyang Ming shook his head, wondering why the system in the capital was not as strict as in the capital city. If this continues for a long time, isn't IKEA afraid of damaging its own brand
He was thinking in his mind, but he picked up a small buckler. The light flashed in the palm of his hand, and no one could see the trace of red, but he already knew the properties of this small shield.
"This is high-quality third-level equipment, but its durability is a bit low. It should be because it has been used for a long time without repair."
Putting down the small buckler, Ouyang Ming picked up a short blade again, played with it for a moment, and said with a smile: "This is a second-grade high-grade dagger. The style is a bit weird. It must have been customized by someone."
The muscles on Du Gaoge's face twitched and he said, "Master Ou has a good eye."
Ouyang Ming put down the dagger and picked up a long whip again. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the bodies of Du Gaoge and the three of them leaned back almost at the same time.
Although the amplitude is not large, the movements are so neat and uniform.
After pondering for a moment, Ouyang Ming said: "What a whip. It's a high-quality fifth-level whip. It even has some strength attributes. It's such a good whip!"
Du Gaoge nodded slowly, and the original suspicious look had long since disappeared without a trace.
Ouyang Ming threw away the whip, and he identified the items on the table faster and faster, and with each item he mentioned, Du Gaoge and the other two's expressions became kinder.
Finally, Ouyang Ming pointed to the last item on the table and said, "No need to look at this one."
Du Gaoge was stunned and asked in surprise: "Why?"
Ouyang Ming chuckled and said, "If I guess correctly, this one must be a top-grade fifth-grade one."
Du Gaoge and others looked surprised and said, "How did Master Ou know?"
Ouyang Ming snorted coldly: "The equipment on your table is not new at all. It was left here specially for us appraisers to verify our strength."
Du Gaoge smiled bitterly and said: "Master Ou is really powerful, I can't hide anything from you."
There are a total of twenty pieces of various equipment on the table, and what is even more coincidental is that they range from the first level of ordinary products to the fifth level of exquisite products. If Ouyang Ming could no longer see the fishy nature of this, then there would be no need to continue messing around.
Du Gaoge saluted Ouyang Ming and said apologetically: "Master Ou, generally speaking, we only need to identify three or five of them, and we can know the approximate strength. It's just..." He smiled bitterly and said: "You identified it too quickly. It was all identified in one go, and there wasn’t a single error, so I actually forgot to stop it.”
Ouyang Ming was shocked. He was so fast because he had cheated on arms. And a real appraisal master would not be able to achieve this speed. It seems that we still need to pay more attention to some small things in the future.
Du Gaoge's expression had long since changed. He put on a smile and said, "Master Ou, your identification technique is extremely powerful. Even the advanced identification technique is nothing more than that. Hehe, I heard that you also have special insights into rough stones. Can you wait for me? Show your hand?"
Ouyang Ming glanced at him silently and said, "Shopkeeper Du, if I choose the rough stone, do you want to cut it on the spot?"
Du Gaoge's eyelids twitched slightly and finally said: "Master Ou is joking. In fact, with your identification skills, you are qualified to become a distinguished guest of IKEA Pavilion." He paused and said: "Master Ou, please rest outside. I'll go take care of your business right away."
The two strong men behind him looked at each other, both seemed slightly disappointed. However, after witnessing Ouyang Ming's miraculous rapid identification technique, they did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
A capable person will be respected wherever he goes.
Half an hour later, Du Gaoge returned to the VIP room again and said: "Master Ou, it is impossible for you to directly participate in the super blacksmith assessment. However, you can participate in the formal blacksmith assessment. If you perform well, you may also There is a chance to get a low-level title.”
