On the way to the fire room, Lu Bei was overjoyed and couldn't help but smile.
When people are happy, they feel cheerful. They look happy at everyone and everything.
The sky is bluer, I am more handsome, and even the philosophical atmosphere in the school field is more attractive.
Being able to take on the mission is of great significance to Lu Bei, as it directly affects his plans for his future life, whether he should become stronger by relying on himself or by relying on a rich woman to become stronger.
Of course, he can continue to refine pills, use experience to upgrade and gain skill points, and when his alchemist level goes up, he can be promoted to senior alchemist, master, and grand master, refine higher-level pills, and gain more experience.
But completing tasks is the fastest way to gain experience.
Lu Bei, who is still a novice, already has a main profession, auxiliary profession, skills, and other bottomless pits that consume a lot of skills. It is conceivable that relying solely on the experience gained from alchemy to fill the pit is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, and it is a narrow path with no end in sight.
Mission is the right path.
At this moment, Lu Bei was on the right track, how could he not be ecstatic.
It is worthy of being the county seat and the future novice village for players. It is indeed a right choice to come here!
No wonder the general asked me to keep an eye on him and not let him run around. He doesn't look like a very smart guy.
Lu Bei's silly look of lowering his head and laughing three times while walking two steps was seen by his personal guards, who made an evaluation in their minds. After arriving at the firing room, he found a bearded blacksmith to explain the situation.
The bearded blacksmith was tall and strong, with curly beard and bare upper body, and his muscular body was dotted with scars.
He was the blacksmith in the military camp who was responsible for repairing damaged armor and weapons. He had four apprentices and was in the logistics department. He was very polite to the guards who came.
Hearing that Lu Bei was Wei Mao's cousin, he patted his chest, saying that it was not a big problem and that it would not take long for the tender-skinned and tender cousin of the general to go back to the house and sit down obediently.
It was a familiar scene, and Lin Bohai was as confident as he was at that time.
The difference is that Lin Bohai accepted red envelopes, but there were no such dirty things in the army led by Wei Mao.
The second time he went through the process, Lu Bei regained the feeling of playing games. He ignored the NPC bearded blacksmith and found a book on basic blacksmithing skills in the house.

Blacksmith Lv4 (10/8000)
Keeping the experience inventory above 200,000, Lu Bei rubbed his hands, picked up the whiteboard hammer at his feet, and started hammering on the rough cutter blank.
The Hundred Refined Sword, as the name suggests, must be hammered at least a hundred times.
Lu Bei thought so, and with the bonus of the blacksmith profession, he quickly got into the state.
The skilled posture and precise operation only made the bearded blacksmith and the personal guards beside him look at each other in bewilderment. They seemed to have misunderstood something. General Wei's pretty boy cousin was not a gigolo. At least he could make a living by forging iron.
bite!
Lu Bei threw down the hammer, and after the knife blank had cooled down, he hammered on the handle and guard, and finally sheathed the knife and handed it to his personal guard.
"???"
The guard looked at the steel knife in front of him, blinked and shook his head: "No, you misunderstood, I just said it casually, I didn't plan to ask for another knife."
"I know, just take it first."
"… "
At Lu Bei's insistence, the personal guard took the steel knife, unsheathed it with a clang, and seeing the cold and dazzling light, he could not help but nodded.
“Nice knife!”
The quality is excellent and it can be used to replace the new knife he just bought two years ago.
Suddenly, my hands were empty.
"Since you don't want the second one, I'll keep it."
"I didn't..."
After receiving the notification that the mission was completed, Lu Bei put away the Bailian Sword, turned around and left gracefully, leaving his guards in a mess.
No wonder the general asked me to keep an eye on him and not let him run around. If he were released, he would easily get beaten.
Lu Bei put the first forged steel knife into his Qiankun bag, opened the information prompt, and read it with a smile on his face.
[You have completed a forging. After the product level and quality are determined, you will gain 500 experience points. This is your first real forging, and you will gain an additional 2,000 experience points.]
[[Forging the Hundred-Refined Sword]Completed, gain 500 experience points]
500 experience points is very little, and in terms of cost-effectiveness, forging the Hundred Refined Sword is not as good as Lu Bei opening five alchemy furnaces to gain experience points, but this is undoubtedly a good start, and it is more meaningful than Lu Bei gaining more than 200,000 experience points in the alchemy room.
"It's worth celebrating, and a drink is not too much."
Lu Bei left the fire room and returned the same way. He looked at the guard beside him and said, "Young man, where is the wine cellar? No, where does the old military doctor live? Please take me to get a pot. When you record the account, write my... eldest cousin Wei Mao's name."
So you don't plan to pay!
The guard curled his lips and shook his head, saying, "Drinking is prohibited in the army. This is the rule set by General Wei. Anyone who disobeys will be beaten with thirty sticks and fined half a month's salary."
"The rules cannot be broken. As the younger cousin of my older cousin, I cannot make things difficult for him."
Lu Bei nodded in agreement and changed the subject: "Then how about this, you take me out and I'll buy you a drink, then it won't be considered breaking the rules."
The guard said nothing, but simply shook his head to refuse.
Afterwards, he avoided the road with walls and took Lu Bei straight across the training ground, cutting off his idea of climbing over the wall and escaping.
Lu Bei was greatly shocked. He never expected that an ordinary NPC soldier could be so smart and not honest at all.
Because he was in a good mood, Lu Bei thought he was unlucky to go into the small single room, and asked his personal guard to pass a message to Wei Mao, saying that he missed the days in the alchemy room and strongly requested to go back to continue his studies.
The guards couldn't stand Lu Bei's chattering anymore, so they asked someone to pass on the message while they stayed at their posts, standing like nails at the door without moving an inch.
Before nightfall, Wei Mao arrived and took Lu Bei away from the military camp.
"Brother Wei, do you agree that I can go back to the alchemy room tomorrow?" Lu Bei asked in the carriage.
"No."
"Then why did you suddenly take me away from the barracks?"
"I have finished my official business and will have a rest tomorrow."
"Going for a drink?"
"Stop drinking."
"Listen to a song?"
"Your senior sister won't allow it."
"… "
Lu Bei rolled his eyes, trying his best to figure out how Zhu Yan, who was as lively as she was, could have fallen for Wei Mao in the first place.
Take advantage of each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses
How strange! Any random man can do it. Isn't he better than Wei Mao who can't even fart even if you beat him with three sticks
After thinking for a long time, Lu Bei could only conclude that Zhu Yan chose Wei Mao because he was honest.
…
In front of the Wei Mansion, the carriage left and the servant opened the door to welcome Wei Mao.
At this moment, a gorgeously decorated carriage slowly stopped, and a young man pushed aside the curtain and greeted with a smile: "General Wei, Brother-in-law Wei, long time no see."
"You are... Turns out to be Master Kui."
Wei Mao raised his hand and bowed: "It's been a long time since we last met, so I don't see you for a moment. Please don't blame me, Master Kui."
The young man was named Zhu Kui. He was tall and strong with a dignified appearance. From his name, one could tell that he was another royal family member who lived far away from the center of Zhu family power.
"It's okay. My brother-in-law is busy with official business. I am honored that he still remembers me."
Zhu Kui jumped off the carriage, bowed in return, nodded to Lu Bei, and said politely, "My dear brother, I am honored."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Lu Bei responded with a smile.
"By the way, brother-in-law, is my sister home?"
"I went back to my hometown these few days, and he's not here."
"Then I came at a really bad time..."
Zhu Kui sighed at his bad luck and said bluntly, "Some time ago, my company cooperated with the alchemy room and the instrument room of Dashengguan. I heard that my sister was in charge of the alchemy room, so I wanted to come over to keep in touch with her and ask her to take care of me in the future."
"She will be back in half a month, you can come back then."
"That's what I said, but I have prepared a small gift, so why can't I take it back?"
Zhu Kui said in embarrassment: "Yesterday I sent someone to deliver the invitation and specially arranged a banquet for you. Brother-in-law, didn't you receive it?"
"No."
"…" x2
The two were silent. One was Zhu Kui, who tried his best to get close to his relatives, but Wei Mao was really difficult to deal with. The other was Lu Bei, who felt that the human nature was just like this. When he was a clerk, he didn't have any rich relatives to come to him.
