Chapter 22. Irish town (4) Refining, forging, hammering, grinding…

     Swish!

     The tip of the black crystal stone knife hooked back, and the stone pattern was finally carved completely.

 

   【Detected that the survivor Ye Mo had broken through the critical point of spiritual value, spiritual attribute +1.】 

 

     “Hu——”

     Ye Mo was sweating all over, and even a little out of breath from exhaustion.

     Carving a small stone seal is much more difficult than hammering an iron block. If it weren’t for the increase in spiritual attribute twice in the middle, it would still be a question whether it could succeed.

     Of course, constantly breaking through the critical value of spiritual attribute is an unexpected surprise.

     Compared to killing zombies in a world full of dangers, this method of increasing spiritual attribute value is safer and faster. If it weren’t for the task of killing monsters, I really want to stay in the underground world for 100 days.

     “Very perfect, very good, the first carving jumped from rough carving to fine carving. If it weren’t for the material problem, there might be fine carving products. Little guy, you are simply a genius!”

     Ian took the stone seal and turned it over to check it out. His green beard trembled as he praised, “There is no doubt that little guy, you are now an excellent craftsman apprentice.”

     It is rare to hear such praise from a senior craftsman. In addition to envy and jealousy, the goblins increased their recognition of the strength of the little goblin in front of them. After all, their tribe has always respected craftsmanship.

     Ye Mo couldn’t help but smile, showing her sharp teeth: “Thank you Master Ian for the compliment, I will continue to work hard.”

    “Little guy, what’s your name?”

     “Maria.”

     Ian repeated the name twice, and suddenly a thumb-sized transparent glass bottle appeared in his hand. The glass bottle contained a potion that would emit a faint pure white light.

     Another exception!

     The goblins looked at the glass bottle with envy. This is a magic potion, and it is a high-level magic potion with restorative effect. It is usually made by human potion masters, or some elves can also make it.

     Magic potions are indeed not cheap.

     But it is not something that goblins cannot afford. But the magic potion given by Master Ian, is it a magic potion? That is a reward! That is recognition! That is a brilliant future!

     It is very enviable for the craftsmen apprentices.

     Ye Mo’s attention is on the ruby ring in Master Ian’s hand. This is the legendary space ring, a must-have tool for home killing and travel, which makes people greedy.

     It’s a pity that she has little chance to study it.

     The space ring is a magic alchemy product. It is said that it requires a high-level magician who knows alchemy to make it. The price is very expensive, about 50 crystal coins to 100 crystal coins.

     What a pity, Ye Mo took the magic potion given by Master Ian and drank it with her head tilted back.

     The milky white magic potion tastes sweet and refreshing. After a while, the blood flowing in the body warms up, and the fatigue just now is instantly cleared. The treatment is fast and effective.

     “Thank you, Master Ian.”

     Master Ian smiled kindly, and then announced the list of more than a dozen goblins who passed the recruitment test today, and asked the goblins who were eliminated to find other jobs elsewhere.

     It is really not easy to be a coolie in this world.

 

…

 

     Although the underground world does not distinguish between day and night, goblins are still creatures who pay great attention to the concept of time.

     They need much less time to rest than humans. If they encounter busy work, they may work for three consecutive days, that is, 72 hours, and the longest can work for seven consecutive days, 168 hours.

     During this period, only a very short rest time is needed, and the employer will provide recovery magic potions.

     Except for the elderly goblins, other goblins spend most of the year working or looking for work.

     This is a very hardworking group. Of course, there are not many goblins as poor as Ye Mo in the tribe. Generally, only goblins separated from their parents will be poor at the beginning, and their average income is higher than that of other intelligent creatures.

     The legendary labor makes you rich?

     Therefore, after selecting qualified temporary workers, Master Ian is not afraid that they will go back to rest and come back tomorrow, but immediately leads them to a more “spacious” real workshop.

     This batch of temporary goblin workers will work here for 80 hours, a little more than three days.

     There are already hundreds of goblins working in the workshop. A quick glance makes it impossible to tell who is who.

     Under the guidance of Master Ian, Ye Mo visited the handicraft workshop in the magic world for the first time.

     The first difference from the factory on Earth is that the space of the handicraft workshop is cast with space magic or some space array. The room is less than 50 square meters, but it is not smaller than the factory workshop.

     Secondly, the equipment in the handicraft workshop is simpler. There are all kinds of modern machines in the factory workshop, and only magical equipment in the workshop, such as the smelting process. The energy used by the smelting equipment in the workshop is the intermediate fire magic core.

     “Magic core?” Ye Momin grasped the word.

     “The crystal core in the monster.”

     Master Ian, like most goblin predecessors, takes good care of the younger generation, especially the talented younger generation who may become senior craftsmen or even legendary craftsmen in the future, and is not stingy in imparting knowledge.

     “There are crystal cores in the heart of monster. Monster of different magic systems have different crystal cores. Fire magic cores come from fire monsters, and wind magic cores come from wind monsters.”

     “It is difficult for zero-level monsters to form crystal cores, or it is incompletely formed and has extremely low energy. They are uniformly called waste crystal cores.”

     “The crystal cores of monsters starting from the first level are primary crystal cores, the fourth to sixth levels are intermediate crystal cores, and the sixth level and above are advanced crystal cores. Monsters reaching the sixth level is already very dangerous. The market is mainly low- and medium-level crystal cores.”

     What Ye Mo wanted to ask most was the specific combat value of Monsters at different levels, but unfortunately Master Ian had turned to other aspects. For him, a goblin who is not a craftsman is not a good goblin.

     The goblin group has high wealth and necessary skills, but they are still often ridiculed and excluded because they do not meet the public aesthetic standards. There is an important reason, the force value is not high.

     “…”

     Back to work, ignore the magical magic array and magic pattern. Some of the processes in the magic world are similar to those in contemporary workshops, including basic processes such as quenching, hammering, filing, hot forging, cold forging, engraving, inlaying, adding magic attributes, etc.

     Master Ian walked through the entire process and began to assign work to each goblin.

     Other goblins first went to the four basic processes of refining, forging, hammering, and grinding, and started working under the guidance of their predecessors.

     Only Ye Mo was left alone, and Master Ian handed her a bulky toolbox.

     The things in this toolbox were much more than what Ye Mo saw in the small basket when she first arrived in this world.

     In addition to axes and hammer nails, there were also neatly placed rulers, chisels, planes, shovels, black crystal stone sharp chisels, etc., basically all the tools for each process were available.

     What surprised Ye Mo was that some of the props in the work box seemed to have the function of increasing her strength.

     For example, chisels. 

     Silently look at the attributes:

 

---

 【Account: Ye Mo

     Intelligence: Hidden (Don’t you know your IQ?)

     Spirit: 26

     Strength: 22 (+2) ⊕ 1

     Agility: 21 (+1)

     Constitution: 21】

---

 

   Similar to a fire axe, as long as you hold the chisel, a dotted line +1 strength will appear, and putting down the chisel will restore it to its original state. This chisel is a low-level gold-based tool, which should be related to the magic attribute?

     The things in this world are really magical.

     “Start with the hammering process, go, kid, you can do it!” Master Ian’s eyes contain expectations for young people, which is also his test for the little guy.

     “…”

     Goblins are generally a very united group. Master Ian is obviously guiding the talented Ye Mo, and the junior craftsmen who monitor the process are also very good to all the new goblins.

     From now on, Ye Mo becomes a special temporary craftsman apprentice in Ian’s workshop, the kind that plays in the free field.

 

……

 

     Ye Mo had interned in the workshop for one or two years, and had a detailed understanding of the series of processes from raw materials to finished products of modern science and technology mechanical products, especially various scientific and technological theoretical knowledge.

     Even though she had personally operated many steps, she still encountered considerable difficulties in Ian’s workshop. After all, long-term work is different from fresh attempts, and magic equipment is different from earth machines.

     Hammering and forging such primary raw materials are the simplest processes that rely on physical strength, and they are all about physical strength.

     Ye Mo did not even encounter the edge of the main task, but was a coolie in the underground world. In addition, after reading the process of applying for a job, she had broken through three physical strength thresholds and broke through his personal physical strength attribute to 24.

     In the eyes of others, whether it is the recovery and improvement of strength, it is difficult to conceal during the forging process.

     Ye Mo has Maria’s memory and knows the rules of this world, so she did not deliberately conceal it.

     Although the basic process is heavy and tiring, she still did not forget to take notes of every detail. Not only did she remember it deeply in her mind, but she also borrowed pens and paper from the goblin predecessors to make it simple and quick to remember.

     Master Ian lamented that he had met a genius that only appears once in a century. Her potential is too suitable for being a craftsman.

     She will definitely be a great craftsman.

     Ye Mo spent a full 18 hours on a series of basic crafts.

     During this period, she and other goblins ate two convenient chestnut fruits and began to re-enter the busy working state.

     It can only be said that every goblin is a tireless working machine, and working machines must be oiled or repaired!

…

     After 18 hours, Ye Mo was assigned to the quenching area and came into contact with the fire magic crystal core for the first time. This job became interesting and much more difficult than other jobs.

     The first step is to learn to control fire.

     The forging process of each weapon is inseparable from fire, and if you want to create an excellent ordinary weapon even without special abilities, you need the most precise control of fire.

     It can’t be too big, it can’t be too small, and there must be a degree of neither too big nor too small. Different materials have different requirements. It is a bit like the cooking process, but it needs to be more precise and more like a physical and chemical experiment.

     If it weren’t for psychic powers and mind control, Ye Mo felt that he would have to learn for at least ten days or half a month. This shows what a wonderful thing psychic powers are, and it’s not a loss to be good at one subject.

     She only has 100 days to live, and time is so precious that she doesn’t have much time to think about “a tree that stands out in the forest will be blown away by the wind.”

     Show as much as you are capable of.

     So the other goblins were shocked, especially Master Ian, the more professional he is, the more he knows how amazing this learning ability is!

     It seems that there may really be a legendary craftsman in the future of goblins.

     But that is very far away from Ye Mo, and she may never reach it, because she has been in this world for too short a time. She is not even a junior craftsman at present, but just an apprentice craftsman.

     After another 24 hours, By then, Ye Mo had finally mastered the hot forging and quenching process of the magic world. During the whole process of controlling the magic crystal, the mental attribute broke through the critical value of 1 point.

     Master Ian was very satisfied. This time he rewarded Ye Mo with an old notebook. The notebook was the size of a goblin’s palm, but very thick. When opened, you can see the neat common language text inside.

     The contents of the notebook are about the melting point, hardness, density, elongation and other characteristics of more than 1,000 known materials on the Celtic continent.

     This is also the accumulation of Master Ian’s lifelong efforts as a senior craftsman.

     “Thank you, Master Ian.”

     Ye Mo was very moved.

     This world is too real. Regardless of whether it will be used in the future, she will try her best to remember this knowledge in her mind while ensuring her own survival.

 

  【Detection that the survivor Ye Mo has broken through the critical point of strength value, strength attribute +1. 】

   【Detection that the survivor Ye Mo’s mental attribute value in the “Irish Town Copy” has reached 30, successfully unlocked the 2nd-level mental ability, completed the special hidden task, and rewarded all attributes +3, free point attribute +2.】
