"Haha, little friend, you are joking." Jin Shengjie calmed down, his face immediately filled with a thick smile, and said: "My friend's suggestion just now is very correct. I'm sorry for not checking for a while."
"Little, little friend?"
"Did I hear it wrong… "
In the square, the eyes of almost everyone were dull for a moment. Although they had already had a premonition after seeing the bizarre performances of Jin Shengjie and the other three masters, when they heard these two words, they still felt like they had seen a ghost.
Little friend
As Jin Shenghengtang is the best blacksmith, even if he sees something outrageous, he shouldn't be so condescending, right
In the capital, given his status, there were already very few blacksmiths who could be called friends. But now, he is so polite to an unknown little guy. Where does this put other people
However, to their surprise, Yi Yucheng and Feng Guangyuan beside Jin Shengheng didn't seem to have any objections to this, and their originally tall and tall bodies seemed to be slightly bent.
Although this action is not obvious, anyone with a little bit of vision can see it clearly.
Therefore, after being extremely shocked, everyone once again focused their attention on Ouyang Ming.
Ouyang Ming smiled slightly and said calmly: "So, I passed?"
Jin Shengheng said without hesitation: "Of course it passed."
Ouyang Ming grinned, showing an obviously happy smile, and said, "However, I still want to continue taking the assessment, is that okay?"
Jin Shengjie pondered for a moment and said: "If you want to take the elementary and intermediate assessments, then you don't need to."
"Why?" Ouyang Ming raised his head, glanced in the direction of Yan Yuanhua, and asked with a smile.
On the high platform, Yan Yuanhua's eyelids twitched. At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated. At this moment, even an idiot knew that Ou Yangming was no ordinary blacksmith. When I think of what he said in front of Ouyang Ming that day, my heart goes up and down like a roller coaster.
Yuan Lexin said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Yan, this guy keeps looking at you, is it possible that you are acquainted with him?"
Yan Yuanhua's face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't utter a single word.
In the field, Jin Shengjie laughed and said: "My little friend has forged top-grade equipment, so of course there is no need for this intermediate assessment."
Top grade equipment
When ordinary people hear this sentence, they are at most surprised and sighing.
This person who came to test the official blacksmith has already forged high-grade equipment. Doesn't that mean he has directly passed the test of the intermediate blacksmith? No wonder Master Jin was so polite to him! It turns out that he belongs to the kind of talents who are highly promoted.
However, the reaction of everyone on the high platform was completely different.
Except for the three examiners including Jin Shengjie, those who can reach the high platform are also powerful blacksmiths. They represent their factions to witness the assessment process. The worst among them also have the qualifications of intermediate blacksmiths, and there are also senior blacksmiths like Yuan Lexin.
Therefore, they understand far more clearly than the average person the significance of using ordinary iron ingots to forge high-quality equipment.
For a time, although there were crowds of people in the square, discussing with each other, on the high platform, there was silence, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the saber.
Is this top-grade equipment, this saber, really top-grade equipment
When Yuan Lexin heard this, she immediately turned her head, stared at Yan Yuanhua, and said word by word: "Junior Brother Yan, why did you meet him? Tell me honestly, without leaving out anything!"
Yan Yuanhua's heart sank and he said with a grimace: "Brother, this is completely a misunderstanding..."
※※※※
In the field, Ouyang Ming smiled and said: "Then I want to participate in the advanced and super assessments. I wonder if Master Jin can accommodate me?"
Jin Shengjie looked at him deeply and said: "If anyone else makes this request, I will never agree. But little friend... Haha, okay, I will invite you to participate in the advanced and super assessments later. I look forward to it. What a surprise for us.”
"Thank you, Master Jin." Ouyang Ming saluted him with clasped fists, reached out to pick up the stones that seemed to be randomly placed around him, and then slowly walked out of the center of the square.
When he entered the venue earlier, he was unknown, and no one even gave him a second glance. However, after he left at this time, he has become the center of attention.
Wherever he walked, the crowds naturally parted on both sides, and everyone smiled ingratiatingly at him.
People who are interested in coming here to watch, in addition to those who are closely related to these blacksmiths, also have a general understanding of the blacksmithing industry. Therefore, they can all see that this young man who can win the favor of Master Jin Shengheng will definitely have a bright future. Even if you can't make friends with him, you can't leave a bad impression in front of him.
Ouyang Ming naturally came to Hu Yicheng's side, nodded slightly towards him, and said: "Brother Hu, I need you to wait a little longer. I have to take the following two assessments."
Hu Yicheng's face was already red with excitement. He quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm lucky to be able to accompany my brother!" After a pause, he grabbed his son behind him, pulled him to the front, and said, "Ling Feng, call uncle!"
Hu Lingfeng nodded heavily and said, "Uncle Ou."
When Ouyang Ming looked at this young man who was almost the same age as himself, his teeth ached and he felt extremely helpless in his heart.
I have become an uncle inexplicably again...
He forced a smile and said: "Haha, we are about the same age..."
Hu Yicheng said quickly: "Brother Ou, since you and I are brothers, then Ling Feng must call you uncle." He waved his hand and said: "Everything else can be discussed, but not this matter!"
Ouyang Ming shook his head helplessly, although he also knew the reason why Hu Yicheng was obsessed with clinging to him. However, as soon as he thought about the fact that it was this person who insisted on principles that gave him the opportunity to obtain arms, he no longer cared about it.
If you recognize this kind of friend, just accept it. If you have the opportunity, it doesn't matter if you support him.
Turning his head, he smiled at Du Gaoge and said, "Shopkeeper Du."
Du Gaoge's body trembled slightly, he laughed loudly, and said in an extremely exaggerated tone: "Master Ou, you have worked hard, congratulations!" He took a step forward, bowed to the ground, and said: "I knew Ou a long time ago. The master keeps his secrets secretly. I am honored to meet you. I admire you so much!”
Hu Lingfeng looked at Du Gaoge with dumbfounded eyes. He whispered: "Dad, didn't he just say..."
Du Gaoge felt confused and said quickly: "I just said that Master Ou will definitely succeed in the examination, and it will surprise people!"
Hu Yicheng burst into laughter, secretly pulled his son, and said: "Shopkeeper Du is right, you kid, watch more and learn more!"
Hu Lingfeng nodded confusedly, but his face was full of suspicion and confusion.
Ouyang Ming saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, but didn't take it to heart. With his current strength, how could he care about Du Gaoge's little thoughts.
Du Gaoge took a step forward and whispered: "Master Ou, before the advanced examination begins, there are still beginners and intermediates. Do you need to rest for a while?" He pointed outside and said: "We also have IKEA Pavilion here. Real estate, guaranteed to satisfy you!”
Before Ou Yangming's assessment, he would never make such a suggestion.
Although IKEA Pavilion has real estate, it is not for people of his level to live.
However, after Ouyang Ming showed his incredible strength in blacksmithing, Du Gaoge immediately changed his mind. Because he knew that from today on, he would no longer be the one entertaining Ouyang Ming.
A person who can be called a little friend by Master Jin Shengheng, even if it is just because of his potential, is enough for IKEA Pavilion to treat him with a higher standard.
Ouyang Ming chuckled and said, "Don't bother me. I just want to take a look at the elementary and intermediate examinations."
Du Gaoge responded with a low eyebrow and did not dare to persuade him any more, but he found his follower and asked him to return to the headquarters as quickly as possible and report everything he saw and heard today in detail.
He had a vague feeling that Ouyang Ming would create more miracles.
Ouyang Ming stood on the edge of the square, watching the thirty or so young people who had received the official title of blacksmith slowly exit. When they left the field, the ecstatic mood for successfully passing the test had disappeared. Moreover, when they left, they would more or less glance in Ouyang Ming's direction, with indescribable curiosity and respect in their eyes.
Especially those who had deliberately stayed away from Ouyang Ming before, showed endless annoyance.
He had offended a forging master inexplicably like this. I hope Ouyang Ming is not a vengeful person.
There was naturally a circle around Ouyang Ming. Except for Hu Yicheng, his son and Du Gaoge, no one else dared to squeeze in here no matter how curious they were.
Just when Ouyang Ming thought that the junior blacksmith examination was about to begin, a figure suddenly appeared next to him.
It was a middle-aged man with a smile on his face and said: "Master Ou, Master Jin invites you to come on stage to watch."
In this huge square, the high platform in the center was surrounded as an examination room, and there were more than 300 forging platforms.
Under the high platform, it is naturally a place for ordinary people to watch, and those blacksmiths who have not yet participated in the assessment, or those who have completed the assessment, are also staying here. However, those who can watch from a high platform are not ordinary people.
Even ordinary intermediate blacksmiths may not be qualified to take the stage.
The eyes of Hu Yicheng and his son immediately lit up, and even Du Gaoge showed a hint of envy.
Ouyang Ming chuckled lightly and said, "Thank you Master Jin for your kindness, but I still have three friends with me..."
The middle-aged man said without hesitation: "Master Jin said, also invite your friends to go up together."
