Attribute equipment, this is attribute equipment!
Even the equipment with the worst attributes is much more valuable than the blank equipment.
In just two days, let alone forging five pieces of attribute equipment, even just one piece was enough to satisfy the old craftsman that he couldn't make any mistakes. Therefore, when he saw five pieces of attribute equipment placed in front of him casually, the shock in the old craftsman's heart was really indescribable.
"Hey..." The old craftsman sighed and said, "You boy, didn't I let you rest for a few more days before starting to forge attribute equipment? Why did you get started again?"
Ouyang Ming spread his hands and said: "Old man, you can't blame me for this. After Mr. Kang assigned me a forging room, he not only pulled out enough raw materials, but also sent ten pieces of precious ore, begging me to forge it as soon as possible. A sufficient amount of attribute equipment." He paused, and then said: "They have provided the yard and arranged the forging room. Everything has been arranged properly. I have to work hard to repay it."
The old craftsman snorted and said: "Your reward is too much." He pondered for a moment and said: "Well, after all, Kang Weibo is the director of the equipment battalion. It is estimated that this task target will crush him, so he will ignore it. Everything, I beg you shamelessly.”
Ouyang Ming chuckled. As a member of the equipment camp, he naturally knew some things.
The equipment battalion is an extremely special existence in the military camp. It consumes the most money every month among all the battalions. After all, the prices of those rare ores are extraordinary.
Therefore, there is an assessment standard in the equipment camp.
This standard is not for forging and repairing ordinary armor. To be honest, although the arms blacksmith can forge ordinary armor in large quantities and quickly, the main source of these armors is some arsenals in the empire.
It is said that in those arsenals, there is a kind of assembly line operation that can increase the efficiency of ordinary blacksmiths several times. With cooperation, it is not even much slower than arms forging.
Then, the most important daily job of these arms blacksmiths in the military camp is to forge attribute equipment. Of course, forging such top-notch equipment is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also requires sufficient energy and patience.
Under normal circumstances, it would take an arms forger a month to consume all ten precious ores, but the success rate in this month was pitifully low.
Taking their military camp as an example, except for the old craftsman and two other senior arms forgers, the ratio of the rest of the people was basically one in ten. Of course, if you get two out of ten by chance, it would be an unexpected surprise, but if you want to maintain it for a long time, it is absolutely impossible.
As the director of the equipment camp, Kang Weibo, in addition to presiding over the daily work, supervising the forging quantity of attribute equipment is also one of the things he attaches most importance to.
During these days, in order to build weapons for General Chen Yifan, the old craftsman concentrated on it and stopped forging attribute equipment.
After a month, Kang Weibo lost three pieces of attribute equipment in his hands, and his eyes were all green. I wish I could pull some pieces of equipment from some arms forger and hand them over.
However, no matter how courageous he was, he did not dare to actually take action. At this moment, Ouyang Ming happened to pop out and was caught by Kang Weibo. For this new young blacksmith who dared to agree to two out of ten, Kang Weibo naturally tried his best to please him at all costs.
The old craftsman patted the armor below and said: "Although Kang Weibo is a bit snobbish, he is a pretty good person. Give these armors to him and say that three of them are from me last month." Yes."
Ouyang Ming nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes."
The old craftsman continued: "You go and collect twenty pieces of precious ore from Kangwei Bo, and..." He paused and said: "You are already qualified for arms control, so just use fine steel."
Ouyang Ming's eyes lit up and he said, "Old man, is it special grade stainless steel?"
"Hmph, look at how beautiful you are." The old craftsman glared at him and said, "Start with ordinary fine steel. If you want to play with special fine steel, wait until you can make the ordinary fine steel into a high-quality one!"
Ouyang Ming nodded solemnly, immediately found a piece of baggage, put his armor into it, and ran out like a whirlwind.
The old craftsman smiled and scolded: "You bastard, be tighter and stop talking nonsense!"
Ouyang Ming shouted from a distance: "Don't worry, old man, I will take care of it."
Of course he would not tell Kang Weibo the truth. If he knew that he could consume ten pieces of precious ore in two days and could guarantee half of the success rate, it would definitely cause some unnecessary trouble.
Now he is not willing to look for trouble.
Carrying these pieces of armor, I came to the equipment warehouse.
In the equipment camp, there are two large warehouses, one of which is an abandoned warehouse that no one cares about and is used as a large trash can. The other one is a heavily guarded equipment warehouse.
In the former, anyone can come in and out. Many blacksmiths and their assistants can select some usable things to practice their skills, and no one will stop them, because this is already an open secret and benefit.
However, the latter is extraordinary. It is the most important part of the equipment camp. Not to mention helpers, even ordinary arms blacksmiths may not be able to knock on the door.
Ouyang Ming quickly came to the warehouse and saw Xiong Gaoan at a glance.
His pace suddenly slowed down, hesitating whether to enter now.
However, when Xiong Gaoan raised his head, he happened to find Ouyang Ming who was hesitating. His eyes lit up, and he immediately put down the accounting pen in his hand and walked out with a big smile. From a distance, he clasped his hands and said hello affectionately, "Hey, isn't this brother Ouyang? Please come in quickly!"
Ouyang Ming smiled bitterly. Although he also knew the reason for the other person's arrogance and courtesy, deep down in his heart, he still didn't want to deal with him. However, since Xiong Gaoan was able to lower his face, as the saying goes, he could not just walk away without hitting the smiling man.
"Manager Xiong." Ouyang Ming said helplessly, "You are wrong."
"Ah, what?" Xiong Gaoan asked suspiciously with a puzzled look on his face.
Ouyang Ming said slowly, "My surname is Ou, not Ouyang."
Xiong Gaoan was stunned for a long time, slapped his forehead, and said: "I see, Brother Ou, I was wrong." However, in his heart, he was full of slander. Since his surname is Ou, what is his name Ouyang? Isn't this a lie? …
In fact, although he had long known that the old carpenter's helper was named Ouyang Ming, no one in the military camp would bother to understand such a helper. If Ouyang Ming doesn't make it clear today, confusion will definitely continue.
"Brother Ou, why are you here today..." Xiong Gaoan said thoughtfully, looking at the baggage behind Ouyang Ming.
Ouyang Ming didn't show off, and said straightforwardly: "I'm here to hand over the armor. You can help me put it into the warehouse."
Xiong Gaoan was startled for a moment, nodded repeatedly, and said: "Okay, okay." However, he was quite puzzled in his heart. This guy just opened a new forging room the day before yesterday. Why did he hand in the materials he just received yesterday? . Could it be that he forged some better quality armor? Well, if the armor is of high quality, it is indeed eligible for storage.
Entering the outer courtyard of the equipment warehouse, someone naturally stepped forward to take over.
In fact, although Ouyang Ming had come here to fight with soldiers before, at that time, he was here on behalf of the old craftsman. But today, he represented himself, so everyone in the equipment warehouse peeked at this place intentionally or unintentionally. They wanted to see what Ouyang Ming took when he put it into storage for the first time.
The baggage was opened, and five pieces of armor were immediately revealed.
If someone else comes with these armors, Xiong Gaoan will never handle them personally. However, if it were Ouyang Ming who was valued by Kang Weibo, he would not dare to neglect him.
Squatting down with a smile, Xiong Gaoan took a saber, looked it up and down, flicked his nails, and immediately made a crisp and pleasant buzzing sound.
"Okay, it is indeed a good product." Xiong Gaoan sighed: "And it is also a top-quality saber." He looked at Ouyang Ming and said: "Brother Ou is extraordinary when he takes action."
Although the number of sabers produced by the arsenal is huge, it is empty talk to say that they can keep improving.
Generally speaking, soldiers in the army use ordinary sabers. Unless you are a wise guy, it is not easy to get a high-quality saber.
Ouyang Ming shook his head slightly and said: "Manager Xiong, please take a closer look." He said with dissatisfaction: "If it is just an ordinary saber, will I come and hand it over to the warehouse?"
"Oh." Xiong Gaoan was startled, his heart skipped a beat, and an incredible idea came to his mind.
Could it be that these five pieces of armor are all...
However, even he did not dare to continue thinking about it. Because this is absolutely impossible. but…
Taking a deep breath, Xiong Gaoan put aside all the distracting thoughts in his heart, and sent a trace of true energy into the saber. The next moment, his face showed a look of ecstasy.
Attribute equipment, this is really attribute equipment!
He no longer cared about etiquette, but carefully put down his sword and reached out to pick up another leggings.
In just a moment, he had already verified five pieces of equipment. The joy that followed almost made him faint.
Raising his head, Xiong Gaoan's voice stuttered: "O, Brother O, you... no, what do you mean?"
Ouyang Ming spread his hands and said, "What do you mean? I'll bring it and you put it in storage!"
"Ah, put it in the warehouse, by the way, it's going to be put in the warehouse!" Xiong Gaoan suddenly realized, he turned around and cursed: "You brats, what are you doing so stupidly? You didn't see Brother Ou... Is Master Ou here? Come on! Pour me some tea, use it well, and bring out the tea that Lord Kang is reluctant to drink. Also, hurry up and ask Lord Kang to come over, and tell Master Ou to send five pieces of equipment to the warehouse. Attribute equipment!”
The entire equipment warehouse fell silent at first, so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
But just a moment later, everyone started to move.
Looking at the chaotic scene, Ouyang Ming understood more and more the old craftsman's good intentions.
