"Master Ou, congratulations!"
Yi Yucheng and Feng Guangyuan also said with smiles on their faces, with a hint of flattery and flattery on their faces.
Both of them are veteran high-level blacksmiths. Although their reputation in the capital is not as good as that of Jin Shengheng, they are by no means comparable to that of new blacksmiths.
Previously, two blacksmiths had been lucky enough to become high-level, but their attitudes were still quite reserved. Because they know that it will take at least several years of hard work for these two to reach their status.
However, their attitudes were completely different in front of Ouyang Ming, a young man who had also just advanced to become a senior blacksmith. Because they had witnessed the miracle created by Ouyang Ming with their own eyes, at this moment, in their hearts, there was no difference between Ouyang Ming and the super blacksmith.
Ouyang Ming smiled slightly and said, "You two are welcome."
Jin Shengjie gently stroked his long beard and said: "Little friend Ou, with your performance today, you can pass the challenge of super blacksmith. But..." He prolonged his voice and said: "According to our regulations, anyone who wants to Those who want to become a super blacksmith must obtain on-site approval from three or more super blacksmiths.”
Ouyang Ming burst into laughter and said, "Thank you, Master Jin. Actually, when I take the assessment today, my goal is only to be at the intermediate level. Being able to get the advanced title is already an unexpected surprise."
"Intermediate level?" Jin Shengjie said in surprise: "With your strength, why would you have such an idea?"
On the high platform, the expressions of Yuan Lexin and Yan Yuanhua changed slightly, and the latter even turned slightly pale.
If other people knew that Ouyang Ming came to see Master Wu Hongxi, but was driven out mercilessly by Yan Yuanhua, then not only would Yan Yuanhua be disgraced, but no matter how difficult it was to see anyone, even Master Wu Hongxi's reputation would be greatly affected. Impact.
This is the difference brought about by the change in status. Today's Ouyang Ming is no longer the unknown person he was back then.
However, Ouyang Ming smiled slightly and said, "This is my first time to take part in the assessment. Naturally, I shouldn't set my goal too high."
Jin Shengjie and others couldn't help but blush slightly. They thought Ouyang Ming was referring to what happened at the beginning of the assessment.
"Hey..." Jin Shengjie let out a long sigh and said, "I and others have lived in the capital for a long time, and they really have no understanding of the world's talents. I am ashamed!"
Yi Yucheng and Feng Guangyuan's faces turned red. If someone else had ridiculed him in person like this, even if they didn't fall out on the spot, they would still hold grudges in their hearts. However, facing Ouyang Ming who was at the height of his power, they had no idea at all.
Ouyang Ming coughed slightly, feeling helpless.
I'm not talking about you, but if you insist on doing it yourself, what can I do...
After Jin Shengjie sighed, he suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "This is the end of today's assessment, everyone should disperse!"
His voice rumbled, and everyone present turned around and left in an orderly manner.
Ouyang Ming turned his eyes and saw someone in the crowd taking the initiative to maintain order. He immediately understood that once the blacksmiths huddle together, the power that emerges is a hundred times more powerful than fighting alone.
Perhaps, strength in numbers is itself a manifestation of authority.
After a while, the square was already empty. Although the people on the high platform did not leave, the eyes they looked at Ouyang Ming became hot.
Ouyang Ming, a newly promoted blacksmith with almost super strength, was undoubtedly the person that everyone dreamed of making friends with.
However, with Master Jin Shengheng nearby, it was not their turn to perform.
"Haha, little friend Ou, the assessment has ended. Are you interested in coming to my house to talk about it?" Jin Shengjie extended the invitation with a smile.
Ouyang Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Master Jin, this junior has agreed to attend the dinner at IKEA Pavilion tonight."
All the blacksmiths secretly cursed in their hearts. They were so ignorant that they didn't even give Master Jin Shengheng face. However, they then thought about it, and with Ouyang Ming's forging strength, it seemed that not giving him face was not a big deal.
"IKEA Pavilion?" Jin Shengjie laughed and said, "I am very familiar with everyone in IKEA Pavilion. How about accompanying you to the banquet tonight?"
He had already made up his mind, even if he was a bad guest, he would have a detailed talk with this kid.
Ouyang Ming burst into laughter, raised his head and shouted: "Shop Manager Du, Master Jin also wants to go with us, what do you think?"
Du Gaoge quickly shouted: "I can't get it!"
Although the elder of Yijia Pavilion also has a noble status, it is extremely difficult to invite Master Jin on weekdays. As Master Jin, visiting him at home is a favor from the boss.
Ouyang Ming spread his hands and said, "Since IKEA has no objection, I will naturally welcome it."
"Okay." Jin Shengjie said with a smile: "Little friend Ou, I still have some experience in the art of forging, but I also have doubts in some aspects. Let's talk more about it."
He turned around and gave the order, and a moment later a luxury carriage was ready.
Ouyang Ming greeted Hu Yicheng and his son, and followed Jin Shengjie into the carriage.
Yi Yucheng and others sent him off with envious eyes, although they wanted to follow him, even if they just listened outside the carriage, it would be good. However, since Jin Shengheng did not speak, they did not dare to make mistakes.
However, when they turned their eyes, they immediately saw Hu Yicheng and his son, who were still a little confused, as if they were in a dream, and their eyes couldn't help but light up.
The relationship between the father and son and Ouyang Ming is obviously unusual. Since they can't meet Ouyang Ming head-on, why not take a roundabout way
"Haha, is this Brother Hu?"
"Brother Hu, it is said that you are the inspection department of the imperial court, and my brother also works in the imperial court..."
"Brother Hu!..."
Hu Yicheng looked around blankly, surrounded by smiling faces. He sighed inwardly, feeling at a loss.
Is all this real or is it just a dream
Looking at the shining eyes of his son next to him, he suddenly woke up. Brother Ou has created such good conditions for himself. If he cannot grasp it, it will be disappointing.
※※※※
The carriage was moving slowly, and Ouyang Ming was listening to Jin Shengheng's story in the carriage.
As he had thought before, anyone who could obtain the qualification of a super blacksmith was not a simple person. They all have the ability to convince and amaze in their respective areas of expertise.
What Jin Shengheng is good at is exactly the same as Old Jiangtou, which is the superposition of attributes.
Generally speaking, when you are promoted to an intermediate blacksmith, or you are a wealthy junior blacksmith, you will come into contact with rare ores. However, it is the senior blacksmiths who are truly capable of exerting the effects of rare ores.
Senior blacksmiths have special attributes, and the success rate is more than 30%, and some can even reach 50%.
However, the efficiency of the intermediate blacksmiths is too low, not much higher than the blacksmiths in Lin Haijun Camp.
During the assessment of senior blacksmiths, putting three stones of power is a huge threshold, which will at least block more than half of the intermediate blacksmiths from the door.
However, Jin Shengheng is different. He is definitely the leading boss in this regard.
He once successfully superimposed five times of power of the same attribute on a piece of exquisite peak-level fifth-level equipment. It is precisely because of such a terrifying special ability of superimposed attributes that he was recognized by three people at the same level and became one of the few super blacksmiths in the capital.
At this time, Jin Shengheng recounted how he studied and used the superposition technique on the carriage.
Ouyang Ming listened attentively, his eyes shining brightly. What Jin Shengjing tells is very simple, but at the same time it is also very interesting. Especially in my own ears, which has a certain amount of research on the superposition technique, I feel deeply and benefit a lot from it.
Suddenly, Jin Shengjie stopped talking and asked: "Little friend Ou, how many layers do you think the superposition technique can have at most?"
Ouyang Ming was startled. He thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Although he has special abilities caused by weapons, in terms of superimposed abilities alone, he will never be inferior to Jin Shengheng. However, when it comes to theoretical level, it is a world of difference.
Jin Shengjie chuckled lightly and said: "Six layers, if I am not wrong in my estimation, having six layers of special attributes superimposed on one piece of equipment is already the limit."
Ouyang Ming's face changed slightly, and there was a strange look on the corner of his mouth.
If you look at high-quality fifth-level equipment alone, with six layers of special attributes, it has definitely exceeded the mission. But what if the equipment is replaced by a magic weapon
Master Jin Shengheng's attainments in blacksmithing are indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately, his vision is still limited by this side of the world, and he is unable to see higher places.
However, Ouyang Ming will not underestimate him because of this.
If he hadn't made the magical equipment with his own hands, Ouyang Ming would have given the same answer.
Jin Shengjie looked at Ouyang Ming in surprise and said, "Little friend Ou, don't you agree?"
Ouyang Ming chuckled and said, "Master Jin, have you ever heard of magical weapons?"
Jin Shengjie's face froze slightly, and he sighed and said: "The magic weapon is the exclusive property of the royal family. It has been kept in the palace for generations and will never be released outside."
Ouyang Ming's heart moved slightly and he asked in surprise: "Does the royal family really have magical weapons?"
Jin Shengjie solemnly said: "In today's world, only the royal family can create magical weapons. However, it is not the power of one person, but the power of the whole family or even the whole city."
Ouyang Ming looked like a curious baby and said, "Master Jin, please give me some advice."
Jin Shengjie smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know very well, but it is said that every time a magic weapon is made, all the powerful people in the royal family will come out, and the entire capital will be greatly affected."
He shook his head gently and said: "It has been more than fifty years since the royal family last made a magic weapon! However, it is not necessarily known that the royal family may try again in the near future."
