Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 16: Forging

Seeing that Ling Xiao had some misunderstanding, [Ba Yi Chai Dao] didn't mince words and simply explained his terrible situation in a few words.

It turns out that this top-ranked fan wasn't very lucky.

The machete that was previously given as a new player bonus has disappeared without a trace, and no one in the Explorers' Trading Zone is foolish enough to sell weapons at this stage.

Empty-handed, he could only gamble on the 50-copper-coin random equipment box, and the first one he got was a useless bracelet.

【August 1st Kitchen Knife】Knowing full well that it's impossible to move an inch without a weapon, it can only fire one more shot.

He had great confidence in himself, and even if he produced a low-quality dagger, he could use it to turn the tide!

The equipment box flashed with light.

He got a new pair of boots.

My brother is stubborn; when his temper flares up, he doesn't care about anything else!

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 they went out to explore.

Then he returned injured.

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

With bleeding wounds, I retrieved the treasure chest I had encountered before but didn't have time to collect. Now I'm preparing to exchange the contents for weapons and then go back to deal with those bastards!

"this……"

Ling Xiao was immediately stumped.

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.

[Owl: "Brother Cleaver, I can try to make a batch of iron spears, but it will require a lot... a lot of ore for practice. I really want that pile of gray iron ore, but right now I don't even have enough copper coins and source core fragments to buy many pieces..."]

Without hiding anything, Ling Xiao told him frankly.

Of course, he wasn't foolish enough to expose the existence of the forging furnace; he simply gave a vague answer and attributed it to some of his own abilities.

The tattered but exquisite treasure chest still contained four pieces of gray iron stone. This material, which could be used for forging, was of poor quality, but its unit price when recycled reached three ominous copper coins.

It far surpasses inferior wood and stone.

Both of these are so cheap that it takes several units to get the equivalent of one copper coin.

The gray iron stone that [August 1 Cleaver] brought to trade amounted to 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 a trade he wanted to try, since nobody wants to break even at the lowest price.

Money earned through risking one's life should always be called higher.

[Owl: "Brother, this is all the copper coins and fragments I have. If you trust me, consider it a fire sale. The odds are low and the quantity is small, so it's unlikely to yield any results. I won't buy it and make a fool of myself..."]

After stating his conditions, the other party fell silent.

Ling Xiao also wanted to offer some collateral to gain the other party's trust, but after looking around, the only item of comparable value was the machete he had on hand.

Having gone through so much, he has come to realize just how precious a piece of ordinary-grade equipment is to explorers today!

Especially weapons that are simple to carry and easy to use.

If survivors could trade, some would surely sell their knives for various reasons, but none of the explorers returning from the gray fog had such intentions.

Ling Xiao didn't just wait idly. Anyway, the iron spear only needed two pieces of ore to be forged once. He also had some wood from the treasure chest from last time. He might as well try it twice. Maybe he could make it work.

Actually, he didn't have much hope.

In this environment, some people might want to get something for nothing, exchanging resources for copper coins that are less than the system price?

Let alone someone as ruthless as a kitchen knife user, even I wouldn't agree to it!

In daily life, even among acquaintances and friends, there are often schemes to use emotions to swindle money. But now, strangers who have teetered on the brink of life and death are characterized by indifference and selfishness.

[August 1 Cleaver: "Haha! Here you go!"]

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

[Ba Yi Cai Dao: "Consider the copper coins and fragments as a deposit. Brother Xiao! Just give me one iron spear, that's all! I won't take a penny of the ore, and I'll return all the money!"]

Such generosity has left Ling Xiao bewildered.

[Xiao: "Brother, you should still accept it. I can't guarantee it will succeed!"]

[Bayi Cleaver: "Hey! Brother, I believe you! Whether it works out or not, I've made a decision, and there's no reason for me to back down! If I can make a true comrade-in-arms, that's worth far more than these ore!"]

Such sincerity genuinely moved Ling Xiao.

[Xiao: "I'm not saying anything more, bro. If you can't make it, I'll go kill monsters in the fog to save up money and I'll get you a weapon!"]

Without delay, Ling Xiao, not wanting to betray this rare and precious sincerity, immediately lit the fire and started the furnace.

The forging furnace emitted a comfortable "sigh," flames flickered, and the gray iron stone gradually melted and recast, slowly shaping a slender object...

……

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

This furnace is quite amazing. You only need to put in the materials and fuel, and have the blueprint in mind. You don't even need to control it with your mind. It can achieve completely automated production!

The ground at the left outlet was empty, while more and more waste slag was piling up outside the right discharge port.

He could feel that he was becoming more and more proficient with the iron spear blueprints, but he still couldn't succeed even once.

A total of fifty-two iron ore stones were used, and fifteen furnaces have already been destroyed.

Without any learning or exploration process, this survival game seems to simply want to immerse survivors in a real "game".

Clang!

Um! ?

Lost in thought, Ling Xiao suddenly heard a muffled thud.

This is...success!?

He strode forward and picked up the gray-black iron spear, which was about two meters long, from the ground.

Ling Xiao belatedly realized, "Won't the freshly baked items burn my hands?"

"I'll blanch it!!"

I let go reflexively.

He then realized that the residual warmth in his palm didn't seem very stimulating. He tentatively touched it again, and it was only about 40 or 50 degrees Celsius.

Holding the spear in both hands, Ling Xiao's eyes gleamed. He pretended to swing it around a few times, feeling the weight and resilience of the iron spear.

It's not too heavy, and it's a bit too "stiff," lacking the "softness" mentioned in the short videos.

Laymen are just watching the show; they still need a discerning eye to see for themselves.

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..."

Why 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're risking your life to fight the enemy, and your weapon suddenly breaks down, you can't even get rid of the anger by cursing the manufacturer a thousand times over!

So even though he finally managed to make it, he decided to keep the iron spear for now and not use it to harm Brother Cleaver.

Perhaps due to a new level of proficiency, three more iron spears were successfully forged from the remaining ten batches!

Without much delay, Ling Xiao picked out two iron spears that weren't so "sharp-tongued" and were relatively reliable, and sent them directly to [August 1st Cleaver].

Less than three seconds

[81 Kitchen Knife: "Not a buddy?! You really mastered it?!"]

[Owl: "Hmm? Surprised? Unexpected!"]

[August 1 Kitchen Knife: "I'll blanch it!! Bro! You really are my bro!"]
