Chapter 331 - 135: Qi Fortune Upgrade, Three Flowers Encounter, Saint Secret Realm
Blacksmith shop.
Due to being unable to participate in the Sun Moon project, those blacksmiths could only research the second batch of [Yin Yang Corpse-Slaying Sword].
Preparing to start selling in the livestream tomorrow.
To promote their skills tomorrow as well, to convince those Divine Craftsmen to join their team completely!
For a better customer experience, Sword Fairy pointed out a significant issue:
——The sword actually can't walk.
Generally, swords are Flying Swords, which naturally fly.
But in solemn occasions where flying is not possible, they seem rather helpless.
"This is a major flaw!"
Sword Fairy strongly advocated for altering these swords' design to add the function of walking.
"Regarding your point, I discussed it online last night, isn't this design by those self-proclaimed national designers online quite cool?"
In the blacksmith shop, Daojiu held a sword that had just been forged.
Calling it a sword, it's actually a strange long pair of scissors.
The sword blade can be split.
When the sword blade splits, it can walk.
During combat, the blade splits and can act like scissors to cut people, very stylish.
"This model, I must say, is very cool."
The more the neighboring blacksmiths looked, the more satisfied they became.
"Very cool!"
"This trim, this shape, an aura of high class is overwhelming."
We have to admit.
Their aesthetic has always been spot on.
Before this gorgeous beautiful sword displays its long beautiful legs, who could imagine it could split and stretch?
"Speaking of splitting, I feel this sword embodies the essence of Green Hat Manor."
A blacksmith sighed.
"The first scissor type is okay, how do you feel about this second sword sheath type?" Daojiu brought out the second model.
This is a sword sheath.
The sword itself hasn't been modified; the modification is on the sheath.
There are hidden slots at both ends of the sheath from which two slender legs and arms can be pulled out.
The slender arms and legs have foldable joints, bending like human limbs.
Although it looks somewhat peculiar.
But walking is much more practical than scissors legs.
"Compared to the first model, this exoskeleton arm-leg apparatus doesn't align with the aesthetic of a proper scholar." One blacksmith remarked, "Certainly won't sell."
"Even if it sells, we can't sell it; we are high-end blacksmiths, we can't do something this silly in front of outsiders."
Someone said with a serious face.
They wanted to establish high standards, to act cool, not to become foolish.
Behind closed doors, they can do what pleases them, but as Divine Craftsmen... it wouldn't do.
"This really is too embarrassing."
Daojiu nodded, sighing, "If we are going to make hands and feet, might as well design a humanoid puppet and put the sword inside."
"Indeed, the external Puppet Masters easily take on such tasks."
"We also wanted to design a humanoid one, best a doll airbag, fabric deflates transforming into sword fabric, [Sword Fabric Airbag] inflates transforming into a cute doll, child."
"Unfortunately, couldn't design it, ending up with this ridiculous look."
Dreams were grand, reality was harsh.
After all, their online design diagrams were extremely beautiful.
One was: mechanical puppet, sword inserted into the abdomen, reside control.
One was: fabric puppet, sword wrapped in fabric, controlled by inflation.
However...
Now created this bamboo caterpillar sword sheath.
Can't say it wasn't consistent with the pictures, just completely unrelated.
Their minds learned, but their hands couldn't execute; there was nothing they could do.
A blacksmith spoke up:
"Let's not embarrass ourselves in other people's domain, they as Puppet Masters, are the true professionals..."
"Bah, this fabric puppet isn't in the realm of next-door embroideresses, they have long researched, is this their standard? Can't even manage fabric inflation technique? Previously hoped they'd help us with sword fabric packaging."
"Forget it, we'll make a few scissors swords, if customers like them then they'll buy, otherwise let it be, let them customize humanoid sword cases themselves."
After analyzing pros and cons, they finally called in Jiucai Rong.
Jiucai Rong looked at their proposal materials and pondered, "Makes sense, let's sell this scissor sword... we need to maintain our mysterious high-end vibe."
After all, the other style was too ugly.
Couldn't even stand the sight.
Daojiu nodded: "Then this bamboo caterpillar sword sheath, back to the furnace!"
"Wait!!" Jiucai Rong changed his tone, picking up the four-limbed sheath, "Not good for sale, but can be used ourselves."
"Sword sheath crafted with slender hands and feet, practical simplicity."
"Once we forge divine weapons, we can't always store them in the warehouse, they'd be gloomy staying inside."
"Fit this sheath, let those weapons roam around the manor before they're sold; it's quite nice."
"Most importantly, once outfitted with sheath exoskeleton, weapons like knives, spears, swords, halberds with hands and feet can complete tasks on the manor square menu, move bricks, build walls, mine, forge..."
???
Daojiu's expression became utterly shocked.
What are you saying?
True to form, capital Jiucai Rong.
Allow these crafted swords to roam the manor is fake.
Exploiting their every ounce of energy before sold is real.
A picture flashed across his mind.
One after another with slender hands and feet, knives, spears, swords, halberds wobbling around the manor, taking jobs with the players.
Renting rooms in the dorm together, holding events by the bonfire together, watching dances down the mountain together.
With limbs swaying like bamboo caterpillars, they chat:
"Wow, we've Second Transformation, why aren't you Second Transformation yet?"
"My sword after Second Transformation is cool, but must remove this sheath, instantly becomes high-end."
"Today I forged, holding the hammer, not convenient."
"Tomorrow, probably customers are coming, next sale batch opens, everyone farewell!"
...
Imagining this, the entire manor is about to enter the second stage.
Luckily Zhang Huaping just left, otherwise...
Things might have gone awry!
Daojiu broke out in cold sweat: "This... isn't quite right."
"Nothing wrong."
Jiucai Rong said: "Didn't you just craft several Yin-Yang Divine Soldiers, let one test it out."
Daojiu took out a Divine Weapon.
"Damn ugly."
This blacksmith Embers had a normal aesthetic, "Sword sheath sides can pull out some long thin limbs? This is too bizarre, I don't want it, I'm destined to be a world-class sword, ranked first on the Divine Weapon List!"
"Hahaha, your technique is too terrible, could you make a proper exoskeleton mecha, these sticks are stupid!"
After a while, after using them.
"Wow, surprisingly good."
This Artifact Spirit walked out with a wide split, stepping with confidence to the manor's exterior:
"Brothers, got tasks? Leave some on the task board for me, I haven't moved bricks or earned Magic Coins today."
Everyone turned in shock: "Oh my, what on earth, this bamboo caterpillar is too bizarre."
"Heard it can walk... but I saw the design post last night too, the design scheme inside was extremely beautiful, super cool... how does the real thing not match at all."
"Nonsense! Normal hands and feet, expensive, manor doesn't have outsiders anyway, practicality is key... alright, just their technique is rubbish."
Seeing the silly blacksmiths scared by him, Divine Weapon suddenly became interested, chasing them while running:
"Hehehe!"
"Cack cack cack."
"Oh my, this sword is frightening, quickly hit him!"
...
Sword Casting Manor, at the base of the mountain.
Due to the forging of Divine Weapons, the manor is experiencing a surge in various professions, Ning Zheng wasn't willing to observe.
They could make their noise, as long as they're happy playing.
They understood, as long as outsiders weren't seeing.
At this moment, Ning Zheng watched a few young blacksmiths cross the Teleportation Array to visit their adoptive father, chatting vigorously.
"Really held in check."
Ning Zheng smiled slightly, immediately sitting cross-legged, activating Three Flowers, probing into Heaven.
Add points!
-20000 Qi Fortune Value!
With massive fortune surging into his body, Ning Zheng began the first Qi training in the Three Elements Realm, anticipating the nursery, something good awaited.
But Ning Zheng soon noticed an anomaly.
How come following Li Youzhu's Three Flowers... following his stem, chasing all the way up...
Was this an enhancement?
Ning Zheng's mind went blank.
He recalled where Li Youzhu was now.
The location of his Three Flowers growth wasn't the full level Secret Realm mentioned by the blacksmiths?
