In the other world, women only slow me down.

"You're not talking about the kind of magical firearm that can kill a dragon lizard with one shot, are you?"

After being reminded, the other villagers also recalled the past.

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago that this is absolutely impossible?"

"I think you're just trying to make things difficult for us, devaluing us so that you can trick us into working in the factory."

"Leave here, you are not welcome in our village!"

"..."

Facing the excited villagers, Lin Qi spread his hands indifferently, as if he didn't care about them.

His fundamental purpose for coming here was Ornn.

As long as she could get Ornn, she alone would be worth countless skilled craftsmen.

Do you understand the value of the God of Lava and Forging?

So he didn't care about the attitudes of these villagers and craftsmen.

Sure enough, unlike the other villagers who subconsciously felt that Lynch’s request was impossible to achieve, Ornn really frowned and began to ponder.

"A magical firearm capable of killing a dragon lizard with one shot..."

Suddenly, factors related to the power of magic guns kept emerging in Ornn's mind. Various skills and techniques were combined to try to get a possible successful solution.

Ornn was so engrossed in her work that even though she was surrounded by the noise of the villagers, it did not disturb her train of thought at all.

While waiting, Lin Qi asked the villagers:

"Okay, even if you're so incompetent that you think you can't make this kind of magic firearm, do you still remember the production plan I set for your village?"

The villagers were stunned again.

They had been immersed in blacksmithing for nearly half a month and had forgotten what Lynch had said.

“High-end customization.”

Lin Qi reminded them:

“Do you know what high-end is?”

The villagers shook their heads, indicating that they were not quite sure.

High-end?

Isn’t that advanced?

Isn't this epic weapon advanced enough?

“Level is only part of the high end.”

Lynch picked up the weapon in front of him. It was a long sword that was completely black and looked inconspicuous.

In order to create epic weapons, the villagers have obviously used the best ore in the village.

In terms of quality.

This knife can be said to be able to cut iron like mud. The high-quality weapons mass-produced by the forging factory will shatter into pieces when it touches them.

Lynch tried to wield this epic long sword, and then asked the villagers:

"What is this knife called?"

Hearing this, one of the villagers stood up with an arrogant look on his face and said to Lin Qi:

"Black Steel!"

Then, without waiting for Lin Qi to speak, he began to introduce himself:

"I forged this knife with the finest black rock steel. This type of ore can only grow in places where fire dragons live. The knife has inherent flame-attributed magic. Anyone struck by this knife will be continuously burned by invisible flames, making it difficult to heal."

After saying this, the blacksmith looked at Lin Qi with an arrogant expression.

I expected him to look surprised and admit that he didn't know the value of the item.

But alas, he was destined to be disappointed.

Lin Qi shook his head in dissatisfaction and said to the blacksmith:

"It's called Black Steel? You picked that name really randomly."

The blacksmith was dissatisfied and said:

"It's enough if the knife is good; it doesn't matter what it's called."

"wrong!"

Lin Qi interrupted the blacksmith decisively and said to him:

"What the knife is called is important!"

Lin Qi weighed the long knife in his hand and continued:

"If this knife were put on the market, it would probably only fetch the average price of an epic weapon. The person who buys it probably won't be a powerful figure."

"Why do you say that?! Why do you say that?!"

The blacksmith was obviously a little anxious and kept questioning Lynch.

Lin Qi got straight to the point and replied:

“Because it’s ugly!”

Then, Lynch pointed at the long knife and spoke eloquently:

"Look at your knife. It's black and has no special markings. It looks like some unwanted garbage thrown away on the roadside. When you go out, you have to pay attention to your aura and appearance.

Which customer who can afford epic weapons is not wealthy enough to rival a country, which one is not extremely noble, and which one is not powerful?

Such people will show their weapons when fighting.

The object on the opposite side was shining with gold and looked majestic, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.

When someone asks you, what kind of weapon is this?

When the master answered, "slaying dragons, breaking moons, shattering stars", it sounded extremely powerful, and fear immediately arose in my heart, and my momentum naturally declined.

But what about you?

The weapon in his hand looked like a big black rat. When asked, it was called black steel. He had already lost half the battle at the start.

Who would buy a weapon like this?"

To be honest, the appearance of this knife is not as bad as Lynch said, and the quality itself is also very good.

But Lynch's aggressive tone made the blacksmith begin to doubt himself.

"High-end, what is high-end?"

Lin Qi put down the long knife in his hand and said to the blacksmiths:

"High-end means that no matter how powerful others are, they can tell at a glance that your weapon is very powerful and very impressive! This is how it can be sold at a good price. This is what I call customization. This is the epic weapon I need!

This pile of your stuff looks dusty and dirty, like some rotten stuff that was dug out from somewhere.

How can it be called high-end? How can it make people willingly spend a lot of money to buy it?

As he spoke, Lynch looked at the blacksmith who was in self-doubt and continued:

"If I were you, I would definitely make this sword more imposing, with sharper edges and corners. I'd also like it to have flames burning on the blade for a long time. You said the material used to make this sword is related to dragons, so the name of your sword should at least be related to dragons. At the very least, it should be called the Flame Dragon Sword or something like that."

"This this……"

The blacksmith was hesitant and didn't know what to say.

He always felt that what Lin Qi said was wrong, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it made sense.

But it's not over yet.

Lin Qi was determined to fool the blacksmiths in front of him today, so he continued:

“Also, what’s the story behind this knife of yours, what’s its meaning?

Both are epic weapons, one of which looks a bit old and worn, but it is a weapon used by a legendary hero.

The other one is like the black steel one I have in my hand, which is ordinary and has no characteristics.

Even if the weapon used by the hero is not as good as your black steel weapon in quality, as long as the difference is not too big, the customer will definitely buy the weapon used by the hero instead of your new one!

Therefore, the weapons I want must not only be of excellent quality, but also look good, powerful, and have connotations. Do you understand?"

Chapter 67: On "Good Equipment"

From a marketing perspective, Lynch criticized the blacksmiths in front of him harshly.

Even so, the blacksmiths were still somewhat dissatisfied.

After all, as craftsmen, what they ultimately value is the quality of the product, not its so-called value.

Some people even came to their senses and thought that Lynch was insulting them with money.

"Ah."

Lin Qi snorted coldly and said:

"Don't agree, huh? Then let me ask you, what kind of equipment is considered good equipment?"

The blacksmiths immediately replied:

"Equipment that is sharp enough, hard enough, and can unleash the user's full strength!"

"No, it's equipment that allows the user to perform beyond their normal capabilities, or compensates for the user's shortcomings."

Although the blacksmiths' answers were not uniform, they expressed roughly the same meaning.

The attributes are high enough and the bonus is strong enough.

This is also most people's understanding of good equipment.

"Yes, but not entirely."

But Lynch shook his head again:

"The equipment you mentioned is indeed good, but it's not good enough. At the very least, not everyone can use it. It's not popular enough."

Lin Qi once again raised the long knife in his hand and said to the blacksmiths:

"Take this knife for example. To use it successfully, you must be at least a high-level swordsman, right? Otherwise, you won't be able to lift it at all, and you might even get burned by the knife."

The blacksmiths were very surprised by this.

A sword goes with a hero.

This has almost become common sense in everyone's eyes.

If a person is not strong enough, he is not qualified to support Lingmeng with powerful equipment.

"Wrong! Totally wrong!"

But Lynch just shook his head:

"Let me ask you, if a hero doesn't have a sword, does he still count as a hero?"

The blacksmiths had been completely taken advantage of by Lynch and replied along with his words:

"That certainly doesn't make sense."

The reason why a hero is called a hero is that he is praised by everyone.

In addition to his own powerful strength, he also has noble qualities such as bravery, kindness, and fearlessness.

The sword is only a vassal of the hero.

The value of a tool depends on the person who uses it.

But this kind of logic made the blacksmiths instinctively feel that something was wrong.

Could it be that the equipment they worked so hard to create is not as important as they imagined?

"This... no, that's not right..."

In an instant, their worldview began to collapse.

But someone finally responded and said:
