Chapter 0309 God of Mining, Herb Picking and Smelting

I wrote for a long time yesterday, but I still can't write an update. I'm sorry!

I'll make up one chapter first. Including today's chapter, there are still three chapters to go!

Chapter 309!

...

Put away the Heart of Sunken Silver. This high-level material that is only used when crafting SS-level and SSS-level equipment is only for display for Xu Kun at the moment!

Then he took out the crafting diagram he just got!

[Crafting Diagram of the Voice of Stars]

Grade: S-level

Requirements for use: A-level foundry masters can learn

Function: Used to craft the initial form of the 10th-level 0-level necklace [The Voice of Stars]

Equipment attributes at a glance: ...

The crafting diagram of a single piece of equipment is different from the classification of the crafting diagram of a set!

For a single piece of equipment, whether it is this [The Voice of Stars] or the [Zhu Rong Burning Heaven] that Xu Kun obtained early, the grade of the crafting diagram is the same as the grade of the equipment!

As for the suit forging diagram, quantity determines quality. In terms of value, even if it is an S-level weapon like [Gui Ai] with five A-level equipment, or a five-piece S-level suit like [Yan Shen], the forging diagram is of SSS grade!

For a single equipment forging diagram, the minimum learning requirement is one level lower than the forging diagram grade. S-level forgers can learn SS-level forging diagrams and try to forge SS-level equipment!

But for the suit forging diagram, although the grade is high, what grade of casting technique can be learned depends on the instructions of the diagram!

The two suit diagrams obtained by Xu Kun are both of SSS grade, but as long as the casting technique reaches S grade, it can be learned!

It is hard to say which one is stronger or weaker!

After all, the six-piece set of [Gui Ai] is only an S-level weapon at most. Normally, if you want to forge the individual parts of this grade, as long as the casting technique reaches B-A grade, it is enough.

Of course, six individual parts of the same grade cannot be compared with a six-piece set!

"For an S-level necklace, depending on the casting process, it can be upgraded once at the lowest and three times at the highest... Well, it's pretty good. If it can be upgraded three times, it's more than enough to reach the War King level!"

The same equipment forging diagram, during the finished product period, due to various factors, the final equipment attributes are also differentiated. It is more obvious on high-grade equipment. The threshold-level S-level equipment not only has poor attributes, but also has fewer upgrades!

A qualified foundry master must not read from the book, but must have his own creativity, improve his casting process, and reduce errors!

"I now have four equipment drawings. Zhurong Fentian and Yanshen both require S-level casting, and the Starry Language Necklace requires A-level casting. With the blessing of the Star Casting, I only need to upgrade my own casting to C-level!"

"It's much simpler when you calculate it this way!" Xu Kun smiled.

C-level is enough... Little do they know that C-level casting is the lifelong dream of many foundries!

But Xu Kun's goal is to become a master craftsman, so how could he be stuck at a mere C-level casting technique!

Perhaps, he has a chance to forge the Voice of the Stars before entering the 20th floor, and then hand it over to Wang Mengmeng in person!

"Now, I'm going to try to forge this Ranger Set first. Let me see what materials are needed!"

The Ranger Set consists of three pieces, namely E-level Ranger Hunting Blade, E-level Ranger Leather Armor, and E-level Ranger Leather Boots!

"Ranger Hunting Blade is easy to make. It uses E-level and F-level metals. You can get it from the blacksmith shop..."

"Uh... the blacksmith shop is gone!"

Xu Kun is a little confused. The function of the blacksmith shop is not only to buy and sell low-level equipment and receive blacksmith trial tasks, but also to purchase various materials for making equipment, such as low-level casting hammers, casting tables, low-level ores, metals...

But now that the blacksmith shop is closed, these materials can no longer be bought and sold normally!

"But fortunately... I have casting skills. According to the map that Brother Yue gave me, there are many scattered ores outside the Yanhuang City. The metals needed to make the Ranger Hunting Blade are quite common. With my mining skills, it is not difficult to dig them!"

"And the task of picking herbs also requires going outside the city to pick them, so I can do both picking herbs and mining!"

"On the contrary, the Ranger Leather Armor and Ranger Leather Boots are a bit of a headache..."

As a sensitive attack melee or long-range archer equipment, the craftsmanship required for the other two pieces of the Ranger Set, except for a small part of casting, the rest are mostly sewing techniques!

Sewing is also a kind of life skill. The guide book "Secrets Between Me and the Casting Uncle, the Herb Picking Grandpa, and the Shop Auntie" also records the learning strategy of sewing in detail!

That is, the third NPC besides the casting uncle Wang Mengmeng and the dish grandpa Li Xuetang, the proprietress of the grocery store!

A lump... No, a fat aunt with a sturdy appearance and a ball-shaped body!

According to the guide, it is not easy for male trialists to learn sewing from the shop aunt!

The tasks for male trialists to learn sewing are really bitter!

The shop aunt is not fair in issuing tasks. She always treats people differently. Female trialists are not so bad. They usually just run errands and learn entry-level sewing!

It is different for male trialists. The task requirements are all kinds of weird!

But there is one characteristic. For those who are ugly, the tasks they receive are usually a bit smelly, such as cleaning the toilet, washing dirty clothes with oil stains for the aunt, or even carrying manure to help the aunt water the vegetables...

The tasks for handsome people are simple, usually they have to chat with the aunt, go shopping with the aunt, etc. However, this shop aunt is not clean, you have to endure her dirty hands again and again!

In simple terms, you need to sell a little bit of sex appeal. If you show a little dissatisfaction, then you can forget about learning sewing!

Sewing is a life skill, it is not as useful as casting and pharmacy. Generally, it is only used for low-level leather and cloth armor equipment!

When it comes to high-grade equipment, even for robes, the craftsmanship used is mostly casting, and the silk thread used will be refined from high-grade metals!

The most popular sewing skill is nothing more than making fashion, such as the Tao on Xu Kun is ruthless!

Thinking of the painful experiences of his predecessors, Xu Kun shuddered and said, "Forget it. It's better not to learn this sewing technique!"

If you don't learn sewing, you can't make a full set of ranger suits. Normally, to make a full set of suits, you need more casting experience!

But is Xu Kun a man who lacks that little casting experience?

It's impossible for him to sacrifice his appearance, not in this life, unless the other party is Yang Yao, Zhan Rourou, Shen...

Hmm? Why add Shen?

Xu Kun doubted himself, could he be the same old pervert as the readers in front of the screen? Like baby faces, cough cough?

"Just make a single ranger hunting blade. For now, I have to experiment to see if I can advance the casting technique by making E-level equipment!"

After making the decision, Xu Kun looked around and summoned the Flame Dragon Scale Horse when there was no one around!

"Go!"

The Flame Dragon Scale Horse let out a long neigh like a dragon or a horse, carrying Xu Kun and running away. The trial participants they met along the way only felt a gust of wind blowing beside and above their heads, and could not see the human figure at all!

The Yanhuang City is very large, but Xu Kun riding the Flame Dragon Scale Horse is faster. It didn't take long for him to run to the city gate.

With a map in hand, he found a place marked with E-level and F-level ores. Soon, he was in the suburbs!

The monsters around were startled. Xu Kun took a look and found that, as described by Yue Yun, the racial monsters in the area closest to the Yanhuang City were just some E-level monsters, and they were not red names, but neutral yellow names!

His own experience points should be saved for brushing the secret realm. Xu Kun was not interested in hunting these low-level monsters to gain experience. The most urgent task was to collect herbs and mine!

Diving into the forest, with the perspective effect of a fiery eye, Xu Kun passed through the jungles and soon found the target in a pile of weeds!

"Hehe, I'm really lucky. There are herbs growing next to the ore. Kill two birds with one stone!"

Pushing aside the weeds, there happened to be an F-level ore hidden inside, and there was a small yellow flower next to it. Upon investigation, it was an F-level medicinal material!

In fact, this is also common sense. The birth of ore and the growth of medicinal materials both require an environment with sufficient energy. The two coexist and coexist, which is very common!

Picking up his beloved little hoe in one hand and waving the herb-picking sickle in the other, Xu Kun seriously uprooted the ore and the medicine!

With the full luck value, there is no such thing as failure in digging and picking!

[Ding...]

...

Blue Star, one of the holy places of the Titans, Luxiang Volcano Workshop!

Buzz!

The Luxiang Volcano, which is unusually calm on weekdays, suddenly became agitated, and the Titans living in Luxiang were startled!

Soon, streams of light appeared, and the aura on their bodies was very powerful!

But when these powerful Titans arrived, they all saluted respectfully towards the Furnace Volcano.

"Ancestor God, what instructions do you have!"

"The Star-Forging Hammer is born, help me find it!"

The Titans were shocked. As the smelting lineage of the Titans, they knew too well what the Star-Forging Hammer mentioned by the oracle represented!

This is the divine object that every caster dreams of. Even the gods of the smelting lineage of their Titans are extremely eager for this divine hammer!

The Star-Forging God who held the Star-Forging Hammer in those days was the well-deserved first god craftsman in casting!

Even the Smelting God who sent down the oracle at this moment was defeated by the Star-Forging God holding the Star-Forging Hammer in the casting process, and personally sent his mortal enemy to the altar!

But he could not prove his way, so he could only become a demigod in the casting process!

After the change of times, this demigod is one of the few remnants of the old era, waiting for the road to god to open again, and reaching the pinnacle of casting!

However, the dead memory attacked this demigod again. The emergence of the god hammer of his mortal enemy meant that the other party had found his successor, which this demigod would not allow!

He had accumulated power for so long, just to achieve true godhood without any obstacles!

The star-casting hammer, either for him to use, or destroyed!

"Ancestor God, there are so many races, how can we find it? I am afraid that I can't do it by just melting and casting!"

"The soul of the star-casting god is completely destroyed, and it is impossible to reincarnate, so the person holding the star-casting hammer must be a person who has made a name for himself in casting. Look for it in this direction!"

"Don't worry about the manpower. This time, we will use all the power of the Titans to find the whereabouts of the star-casting hammer!"

"What about the human race?" The leader of the Titans probed.

The God of Forging was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "I will discuss this matter with Zeus in person!"

"Yes, Ancestor God, we will do our best!"

The Furnace Volcano has returned to peace again!

As an indispensable branch of the Titans, the Forging Branch has a wide network of contacts among all the tribes. After receiving the oracle, it quickly issued the corresponding task to the outside world!

Task name: Tracking down the lost artifacts of our tribe. Those who provide valuable clues can get the artifacts made by the Titans for free. The grade of the artifacts depends on the value of the clues!

If the artifacts can be delivered to the Titans, the God of Forging will personally make a SSS-level supreme artifact for them!

When this task was released, all tribes were in an uproar, and even the Three Saints couldn't sit still!

Titans, this time it's a big deal!

But what is the lost artifact of the Titans?

There is no detailed record in the task, only one clue is provided: a hammer!

But even so, facing the generous rewards, countless trialists of all tribes have thrown themselves into the tide of finding the hammer!

As the owner of the hammer, Xu Kun was completely unaware of this, and he was still immersed in the joy of finding ores and medicinal materials!

The world outside the Yanhuang City is huge, so huge that there are all kinds of resources and monsters entrenched in it!

But one thing is that the closer to the main city, the higher the degree of development. When Xu Kun was mining and collecting herbs, he encountered more than one team of trialers who teamed up to kill monsters!

It is still very difficult to find undiscovered ores and medicinal materials in such a place where countless footprints have stepped on!

That is, Xu Kun's full luck value constantly guided him in the dark. It took more than half an hour to finally gather the metal ores needed to forge the Ranger Hunter Blade!

"It's too difficult. I start with E-level when digging an ore, but for the Ranger Hunter Blade, I still need some F-level metal. I don't know if I can succeed!"

God Blessed, the Son of Luck asked Xu Kun to mine with a grade of +1. Normally, it is profitable to advance from F-level ore to E-level ore!

But in this way, Xu Kun couldn't use normal F-grade materials to make the Ranger Hunting Blade, and needed to use higher-grade materials instead!

This kind of operation is not uncommon. For example, when Ya Jiu made the Dragon Binding Rope for Bi Xiao, the original material needed was SS-grade Dragon Blood Crystal, but when Xu Kun took out the SSS-grade True Dragon Jade, the other party was extremely happy!

There is no other reason. Using high-grade materials instead can greatly improve the original properties of the equipment, and some materials can even increase the success rate. Of course, this is based on high grades!

For someone like Xu Kun who is new to casting, using high-grade materials instead is a bit whimsical!

If you are not careful, the materials are incompatible, causing the equipment to be destroyed halfway through!

But Xu Kun has no other good choice now. The blacksmith shop has been closed for three days, and he has nothing to do at the moment. In addition to practicing casting, there is nothing else to do!

On the contrary, it was the requirement of the herb-picking task... Xu Kun didn't pick any of the ten F-level herbs, but he picked seven E-level herbs and one D-level herb!

This was naturally after the advancement. Before the advancement, Xu Kun also encountered a D-level herb, but the F-level herb-picking sickle in his hand did not support him to pick it, so he could only return in disappointment!

"First hand in the herb-picking task, and then prepare to forge the Ranger Hunting Blade!"
