Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 16 016: Forging

【Bayi Cleaver】Seeing that Ling Xiao had some misunderstandings, he didn't talk nonsense and simply explained his bad situation in a few words.

It turns out that this guy who is number one on the list has really bad luck.

The machete that was previously a benefit for new players has disappeared, and no one in the explorer's trading area is stupid enough to sell weapons at this stage.

With nothing, he could only try his luck by opening a random equipment box worth 50 copper coins. As a result, the first thing he got was a useless bracelet.

[Bayi Cleaver] knows that without weapons, it is impossible to move forward, so it can only fire one more shot.

He has strong confidence in himself, and even if he produces a low-quality dagger, he can use it to reopen the situation!
The equipment box flashed.

He got a new pair of boots.

My brother is stubborn. When he gets angry, he doesn't care about other things!

Or perhaps he relied on his innate talent for offensiveness, thinking that even if he couldn't kill the monster, protecting himself shouldn't be a problem.

So I went out to explore.

Then he returned injured.

Fortunately, the goal was achieved and the trip was not in vain.

With a bleeding wound, I picked up the treasure chest that I encountered before but didn’t have time to collect. Now I plan to exchange the things inside for weapons, and then go back to deal with those bastards!

"This……"

Ling Xiao was suddenly in trouble.

He didn't have any extra weapons, but after seeing the list of supplies sent by [Bayi Cleaver], a bold idea came to his mind.

Xiao: "Brother Caidao, I can try to make a batch of iron spears, but I need a lot... a lot of ore to practice. I really want that pile of gray ironstone, but the copper coins and source core fragments I have on me right now can't buy many..."

Without hiding anything, Ling Xiao told the truth.

Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to reveal the existence of the forge. He just mentioned it vaguely and attributed it to some kind of ability of his own.

There were still four pieces of gray ironstone left in the tattered fine treasure chest. Although this material, which could be used for forging, was of inferior quality, its unit price for recycling reached three ominous copper coins.

Far superior to inferior wood and stone.

Both of these are at a low price where several units are required to recycle one copper coin.

And the gray iron stone that [Bayi Cleaver] brought to trade was a total of forty-eight pieces!
Even if you sell it to the system, you can still get a hundred copper coins!

But he still found himself wanting to try to trade, after all, no one wants to protect his capital at the lowest price.

The money you earn by risking your life should always be higher.

[Xiao: "Brother, this is all the copper coins and fragments I have. If you trust me, just treat it as a cheap sale. The probability is low and the quantity is small, so there is basically no result. I won't buy it and make myself bored..."]

After stating his conditions, the other party fell silent.

Ling Xiao also wanted to use some collateral to gain the other party's trust, but after looking around, the only thing of comparable value was the machete at hand.

After going through so much, he finally realized how precious an ordinary piece of equipment is to today's explorers!
Especially weapons that are simple, easy to carry, and can be used right away.

If the survivors could trade, there would definitely be people who would sell their knives for various reasons. However, none of the explorers who returned from the gray fog had such an intention.

Ling Xiao didn't just sit there and wait. After all, the iron spear only needed two pieces of ore to be refined once. It just so happened that there was still some wood in the treasure chest last time. It didn't matter if he practiced twice. Maybe he could do it?
In fact, he didn't hold out much hope.

In this environment, is there anyone who wants to get something for nothing and exchange resources for copper coins that are less than the system price?
Not to mention a ruthless person like Caidao, even if it were me, I would not agree!

In daily life, acquaintances and friends often use the trick of using emotions to cheat people out of their money. Now, for strangers who have been on the line between life and death, indifference and selfishness are the main themes.

Bayi Cleaver: "Haha! Here!"

The transaction was completed instantly, and forty-eight pieces of gray iron stone appeared in Ling Xiao's backpack.

Bayi Cleaver: "The copper coins and fragments are my deposit. Brother Xiao! Just give me one iron spear, just one! I won't take a penny for the ore. I'll return all the money!"

Being so generous, it’s hard to trouble Ling Xiao.

Xiao: "Brother, you should take it. I can't guarantee success!" Bayi Cleaver: "Hey! Brother, I believe in you! Regardless of whether it succeeds in the end, I've made a decision and there's no point in wavering! If I can make a true comrade, it's worth much more than this little ore!"

Such sincerity really moved Ling Xiao.

Xiao: "No need to say anything, big brother. If you can't make it, I'll go into the fog and kill monsters to earn money and help you draw a weapon!"

Without further ado, Ling Xiao did not want to let down this rare and precious sincerity, so he lit the furnace immediately.

The forge sighed comfortably, flames pulsing as the gray iron gradually melted and recast, slowly forming a slender object...

……

Ling Xiao's face was "rosy" and his brows were furrowed.

This furnace is quite magical. You only need to put in materials and fuel, and determine the production drawings in your mind. You don’t even need to control it with your mind. It can achieve completely automated production!
However, the ground at the left shipping port is empty; outside the right discharge port, more and more waste residue is piled up.

He could feel that his proficiency in the iron spear blueprints was increasing, but he still failed to succeed once.

There are a total of fifty-two pieces of iron ash stone, and fifteen furnaces have been used up.

There is absolutely no learning process involved. This survival game seems to simply want the survivors to play a real "game" immersively.

Bang!

Um! ?

While he was distracted, Ling Xiao suddenly heard a muffled sound.

This is...success!?
He walked quickly forward and picked up the gray-black iron spear about two meters long on the ground.

Ling Xiao realized belatedly that the freshly baked items might burn his hands.
"I'll blanch it!!"

Let go reflexively.

Only then did he realize that the residual warmth in his palm didn't seem irritating at all. He touched it again tentatively and found it was only about 40 or 50 degrees Celsius.

Holding it with both hands, Ling Xiao's eyes lit up as he pretended to dance a few times, feeling the weight and toughness of the iron spear.

It’s not too heavy, and a bit too “stiff”, without the “softness” mentioned in the short video.

After all, laymen are just watching the fun, so they still need to rely on the eyes of judgement to take a look.

【Gray Iron Spear】

[Quality: inferior]

[Condition: Strength reaches 2]

[Special effects: None]

[Rating: This is the worst kind of garbage! If you take this into battle, not only must you be wary of your enemies, but you must also be wary of the spear snapping! In short, use it with caution; this piece of junk won't withstand high-intensity collisions!]

"Tsk..."

Is it necessary to criticize my first product so harshly?

Ling Xiao was speechless, but he agreed with this evaluation in his heart.

what is this?
arms!

When you are fighting the enemy with your life, and the weapon in your hand suddenly breaks down, you will feel so angry that even a thousand words of praise to the manufacturer cannot ease your anger!
So even though it was made with great difficulty, he decided to keep the iron spear for now and not use it to harm Brother Cleaver.

Perhaps his proficiency had reached a new level, and three more iron spears were successfully refined out of the remaining ten furnaces!

Without further delay, Ling Xiao picked out two iron spears that were less "venomous" and relatively reliable, and sent them directly to [Bayi Cleaver].

Less than three seconds
Bayi Cleaver: "Not my friend!? Did you really make it?!"

【Owl: "Hmm? Surprised? Unexpected!"】

Bayi Cleaver: "I'm Chao! Brother! You really are my brother!"
