The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Zhang Lingfeng was determined to put the "lying down" policy into practice to the end.

To gain more "lying down" points.

Back in the Ou family's tenement, Zhang Lingfeng tried every means to practice lying flat to the end, but he could only accumulate less than a thousand lying flat points a month.

Now he is a blacksmith.

Although he was also forging things, the forged items were all for fun. He was able to accumulate about two thousand "lying down points" each month, which was double what he used to have.

This made Zhang Lingfeng jump for joy.

At this rate of development, I should be able to become a god in about two years.

However, the peaceful days only lasted for two months.

At this moment, Zhang Lingfeng's "lying flat" value once again exceeded four thousand, reaching 4311.

He has been hiding in the forge for the past two months.

They are dedicated to forging recliners, bathtubs, and washing basins, among other things.

Ma Fei wholeheartedly supported Zhang Lingfeng and sent several henchmen to help him. These henchmen were named Xiao Hei, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Yang.

The three of them had previously worked as assistants to Master Yang and his team.

They are all level seven true gods.

With such abilities, one could easily secure a good job in the Ou family's tenement compound.

But they could only work as assistants at the Divine Craftsman's Shop.

Secondly, they are all Soul Masters.

Unfortunately, its Soul Essence level is relatively weak.

But even without baptism, one may still become a blacksmith in the future.

Xiao Hei, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Yang were all quite puzzled by the things Zhang Lingfeng was making in the forge.

But seeing Zhang Lingfeng tirelessly forging one strange and unusual thing after another, even forging three stools and a table and chairs for them, the three of them felt very strange.

Of course, there was also a feeling of being recognized by Zhang Lingfeng.

The work they did was quite meticulous, and they didn't work as long as they did under Master Yang and his team. After two months, all three of them had gained a lot of weight.

But this is not a good thing for Xiao Yang, who has ambitions and wants to become a blacksmith. He wants to leave Zhang Lingfeng's team and return to work in Master Yang's camp.

Unfortunately, he couldn't make a request to Ma Fei.

They dared not offend Zhang Lingfeng easily.

"Master Zhang, could you tell us what the purpose is of making these things?"

Xiao Hei sat on the bench and asked curiously.

"It has many uses!"

Zhang Lingfeng finally managed to create a mahjong table with mechanical features.

They placed it in front of Xiao Hei, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Yang.

Ma Fei asked him how many helpers he needed.

He answered three without hesitation.

The mahjong table is now set up, but the mahjong tiles haven't been made yet. To play mahjong continuously without shuffling the tiles, two sets of mahjong tiles need to be made, which is a huge undertaking.

Zhang Lingfeng will need to spend some more time.

The forging room now contains bathtubs, reclining chairs, and many other strange and unusual things that Xiao Hei and Xiao Hu find strange and unusual.

Zhang Lingfeng even crafted a pair of slippers with pebbles inlaid on the insoles. Wearing them would feel like walking on a raised pebble floor, which would help with blood circulation, relax the meridians, and prolong life.

Walking in slippers like these is like walking on a cobblestone floor all the time.

We don't know how effective it will be.

But the process of creating it was truly comfortable.

Zhang Lingfeng sat on one of the benches.

He pretended to draw cards and win with both hands, imagining himself playing cards with Xiao Hei and the other two.

I am now a blacksmith.

If you ask the three of them to play mahjong with you, they won't refuse, nor would they dare to. Now all that's left is to make two sets of mahjong tiles.

In pursuit of excellence.

The construction period will be about two months.

In addition to mahjong, some supporting facilities also need to be built.

For example, a sieve.

ashtray.

Lighters and a series of other items.

Zhang Lingfeng hopes to build several smart massage chairs and a few smart foot baths, upgrading the foot baths he has already created.

This way you can get a massage, soak your feet, and play mahjong all at the same time.

He never imagined that becoming a blacksmith would be such a comfortable thing.

"Master Zhang, what exactly is the purpose of this table?"

The little lamb asked.

He saw a drawing on the table with the characters "Chu" and "Han" written in the middle, arranged in parallel horizontal and vertical lines.

Zhang Lingfeng considered that sometimes when people get tired of playing mahjong, they can also play chess.

Therefore, he also needs to create a set of chess pieces.

Chess was introduced.

Then Go (Weiqi) is indispensable.

The Go board definitely needs to be rebuilt from scratch; it can't be confused with a mahjong table.

As he thought about it, Zhang Lingfeng even felt that he should make his own chessboard instead of mixing it with the mahjong table, as that would make it less sophisticated.

In response to Xiao Yang's question, Zhang Lingfeng said, "This is called a mahjong table. It's a fun thing. I see you've all worked hard. After I finish making the mahjong set, the four of us can play together and you can have some fun."

"By the way, this is the mahjong game rules. Take a look first, so that when I finish developing the mahjong set, you won't be unable to play with me."

Zhang Lingfeng tossed a mahjong manual to each of them to look at.

Xiao Hei, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Yang exchanged glances, quickly opened the manual, and saw the strange words on it, thinking they were special symbols.

But keep watching.

See below for the gameplay, arrangement, and so on.

All three of them were somewhat confused.

Xiao Hu asked, "Master Zhang, can this mahjong set enhance soul power?"

"It might work for me, but it won't work for you."

Zhang Lingfeng said.

"That can enhance divine power?"

Xiao Hei asked.

"It might work for me, but it won't work for you."

Zhang Lingfeng repeated.

"Can it improve forging skills?"

The lamb said.

"Hmm, that seems to be true, but it works even better for me."

Zhang Lingfeng laughed.

“Master Zhang, but I always feel that this is just a form of entertainment, and it doesn’t help with cultivation or forging skills at all?”

The little lamb hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"That's true. The cultivators on the God-level Continent are all too tired. I hope to promote mahjong so that all the young masters of great families can become addicted to this form of entertainment."

"By then, I'll have the patent for the mahjong table. Anyone who wants to buy one will have to go through the Divine Craftsman Shop, which will also help Young Master Ma earn a lot of divine stones."

Zhang Lingfeng sighed.

"is it possible?"

Xiao Hei looked suspicious.

"Master Zhang's ideas are beyond the reach of most people."

The little lamb sighed.

"No need to flatter me. Come on, let's build a mahjong set together now. Let's play it together as soon as possible. And don't forget to take some time to study mahjong secrets so that you can play with me in the future."

Zhang Lingfeng reminded him.

These three people who can consistently give him "lying down" points should be carefully nurtured.

……

That night.

Master Yang and several other blacksmiths were drinking at the tavern.

The lamb was called over.

"A mahjong table?"

"A recliner?" "A massage chair."

"Chess pieces, chess pieces?"

"What are these things?"

……

After hearing the little sheep's account, Master Yang and the others were completely dumbfounded.

Chen Fenfang's arrival to baptize Zhang Lingfeng made Master Yang feel uneasy, worried that Ma Dashuai wanted to pass on his skills to Zhang Lingfeng, rather than to him.

That's why the little lamb was able to appear next to Zhang Lingfeng.

To become the eyes and ears of one's own making.

Observe Zhang Lingfeng's every move.

When Master Yang and the others learned that Zhang Lingfeng had been forging all sorts of strange and unusual things that were only good for show and not for practical use, and could only be used for entertainment, they were all a little confused.

"you sure?"

Master Yang frowned as he looked at the lamb.

They were worried that the little lamb might be turned against them by Zhang Lingfeng.

"It's true."

Little Lamb patted his chest and continued speechlessly, "Master Zhang's ideas are a bit strange. The young master gave him so many refining materials, but all the things he forged were related to playing or enjoying himself. Not a single one was used to improve strength or increase defense."

He also said that being a god is like being a human being; one cannot be too introverted and should learn to relax. Only by learning how to enjoy life can one do something well.

Playing mahjong, like playing cards, can not only pass the time but also relax the whole person and help improve spiritual power.

He said that this is how he got to where he is today.

He also told Xiao Hei, Xiao Hu, and me to learn more from him, and not to spend all our time thinking about forging divine weapons; fighting and killing are not his goals or pursuits.

After saying this...

Master Yang and his companions were completely dumbfounded.

"Did Zhang Lingfeng send you to fool us?"

Some even expressed doubts.

"How could I dare? I know perfectly well who's in charge of this Divine Craftsman Shop. As for Master Zhang, I really don't want to stay here any longer."

The little lamb said with a serious expression.

What kind of trick is Zhang Lingfeng playing?

Master Huang frowned.

"Could this be a charade? The young master can't possibly bring back a lunatic, can he?"

"That's right, Master Chen even personally baptized him."

None of the masters believed it.

"Are you sure that none of the things Zhang Lingfeng created can improve your strength and are completely useless?"

Master Yang asked again.

"It's absolutely true. Master Zhang said he wants to promote a 'lying-down' culture, encouraging everyone to learn to enjoy life instead of constantly thinking about improving their strength and making the entire God-level Continent a mess. He also said that the mahjong tables, chess sets, massage chairs, and other items he forges will become bestsellers throughout the God-level Continent in the future. He even claims to hold the patents, so all the orders for making mahjong tables will go to the Divine Craftsman Shop, and everyone will earn a lot of divine stones."

In short, not a single word he said seemed normal to me. Xiao was determined to become a blacksmith and finally became a level seven Soul Master.

I worry that if I stay with him, I'll never become a blacksmith.

So, Master Yang, please let me come back to you!

The little lamb even knelt down at the end.

Master Yang is a level three blacksmith, the strongest blacksmith in the Divine Craftsman Shop besides Ma Dashuai. In the entire Divine Craftsman Shop, apart from Zhang Lingfeng, all the blacksmiths listen to him.

In fact, Zhang Lingfeng never had any conflict with Master Yang.

However, his behavior and reaction made Master Yang feel that his position might be threatened, which led to some misunderstandings.

Master Yang fell silent.

Master Huang said, "When he first came here, all he did was try to get us to play cards with him. He wanted us to not work in the forging workshop and to spend all our time playing with him."

"What blacksmith doesn't go to the forge?"

"I heard that Master Chen once said that Zhang Lingfeng was hopeless and couldn't be helped."

"Then why did she personally go to the Divine Craftsman's Shop to baptize Zhang Lingfeng?"

……

Everyone said something to me.

"Brother Yang, no matter what, Zhang Lingfeng's behavior is a bit strange, it's like..."

Master Huang hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"explain."

Master Yang said.

"It's as if he doesn't care at all whether he can get the inheritance from Master Ma, or as if he thinks he can definitely get the inheritance from Master Ma, otherwise why would he be so absurd and not worried about being kicked out of the Divine Craftsman's Shop?"

Master Huang hesitated for a moment before speaking.

At first, Master Yang's brows were relaxed, but he became tense as he heard the rest.

Yes.

Why is Zhang Lingfeng, a new blacksmith, so arrogant?

Such an unconventional approach.

As if victory was assured.

This is unreasonable.

The more Master Yang thought about it, the uglier his expression became.

Having worked at the Divine Craftsman's Shop for so many years, he couldn't let it all come to nothing. To become a Level 4 Blacksmith, he needed Master Ma's skills to be passed down to him.

Cultivation alone has lost its effectiveness for him.

He encountered a bottleneck and was unable to make a breakthrough.

"Here's what we'll do. You continue to follow Zhang Lingfeng. In a few days, I'll have Young Master Ma lead our group to Zhang Lingfeng's forge."

Let's see what Young Master Ma's attitude will be when he sees the things Zhang Lingfeng forged.

Master Yang said.

"Alright, then I'll wait for your news."

The lamb nodded.

Master Yang then tossed a bag of sacred stones to the little lamb.

Another three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Lingfeng is currently in the forging workshop, where he can earn about 70 "lying down" points every day. Over the course of a month, he can accumulate more than 2,000 "lying down" points.

A few days down.

The "lying flat" value has reached over 4,500.

Zhang Lingfeng checked the panel information.

Lying flat value: 4566
Super Armor: (45.2/100)

Divine Power: 465.7
Soul: 40933
Basic Forging Method; (8/600)

Soul Evolution: (4/100)

Ability: All-weather Soul Essence Evolution Ability

Realm: Level 5 True God, Blacksmith
More than two months have passed.

Thanks to its all-weather soul essence evolution ability, the soul evolution value automatically increased by two points, which was slower than expected.

At this rate.

The annual increase is approximately twelve figures.

To become a Divine Inscription Master naturally requires at least eight years.

But for every true god, eight years is not too long, even though the rules here are very strict, and any god can wait.

It is a basic forging method.

Without any deliberate practice, my score increased by six points on its own.

It seems that whether it's forging divine weapons or making mahjong tables, as long as you are sincere in your forging, can mobilize your spiritual power, and use forging methods, you can improve your forging skills.

At this moment, Zhang Lingfeng understood.

The basic forging method can only produce a novice blacksmith.

The term "junior blacksmith" refers to blacksmiths at levels one, two, and three.

To become a Level 4 Blacksmith, one needs not only powerful spiritual strength but also a powerful cultivation method.

"Master Zhang."

Suddenly, a sound came from the doorway.

Zhang Lingfeng sensed a group of people approaching.
