Chapter 375: You Want Benefits Just Because You Call Me Master? There Is No Free Lunch In The World (2)
This was the fruit of their hard work these days.
When Meng Bai and the others arrived at the camp, not only did they bring more than ten Fcoming Masters, but they also brought fcoming furnaces and True Fire fire seeds.
Now, even without Zhou Shu’s Iron Smelting Hands Technique, Shi Songtao could still have a fcoming furnace to carry out fcoming activities.
“Not bad.” Zhou Shu nodded. “It just so happens that we have enough manpower now, so we can start fcoming.”
“Your Highness,” a man with gray hair said.
!!
“You are?” Zhou Shu asked, slightly embarrassed.
“I am Li Chengliang, an unknown grand craftsman in the Fcoming Division.” The man cupped his hands.
“So you’re Grand Craftsman Li. I’ve heard a lot about you,” Zhou Shu said politely. “What’s the matter, Grand Craftsman Li?”
“Your Highness.” Li Chengliang didn’t stand on ceremony and continued, “There’s no problem with fcoming, but with the current situation on the battlefield, it seems too late for us to fcome now, right?”
Under normal circumstances, fcomers could take months to years to fcome a ranked weapon.
The higher the grade of the weapon, the longer it would take to fcome it.
There was even a Grand Craftsman who had spent decades fcoming a heaven-grade weapon.
Now that war could break out at any moment on the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, how could they have the time to fcome weapons slowly?
If it was just fcoming some standard weapons, it would be fast, but what was the point?
“It’s not too late.” Zhou Shu smiled. “I’m not capable enough. I will need everyone to sacrifice yourselves.
“Under normal circumstances, we naturally take a longer time to fcome. But have you ever thought that when we fcome, we actually spend most of our time processing fcoming materials?”
The fcomers nodded. Fcoming a ranked weapon required at least dozens of fcoming materials and at most hundreds. Just processing the various fcoming materials would take more than half the time.
“Your Highness, do you mean that we should deal with the fcoming materials separately and then bee one and fcome together?” Li Chengliang pondered.
This method had been used before.
Within a group of fcomers, a Grand Craftsman usually had many assistants. These assistants ranged from Fcoming Apprentices to Fcoming Masters.
The assistants’ job was to do the initial processing of the fcoming materials.
But it was only the initial processing. If they really started smelting all kinds of fcoming materials, the difference would be huge. Grand Craftsmen and Fcoming Masters usually wouldn’t delegate such jobs to others.
This was because only by personally smelting the fcoming materials would they be able to understand their structure. In this way, the success rate of fixing the star paths would be higher.
“Exactly.” Zhou Shu nodded. “It might take months for us to fcome a ranked weapon alone, but if the dozen of us work together, we can even shorten this time to a few days.
“I know what you’re worried about, Grand Craftsman Li.”
Zhou Shu smiled. “That’s not a problem. As long as everyone does as I ask, they will definitely not fail.”
Zhou Shu looked confident.
Li Chengliang was a little dazed.
Strictly speaking, Zhou Shu’s fcoming rank was far inferior to his.
He was a Grand Craftsman, but Zhou Shu was only able to fcome black-grade weapons.
In the past, Li Chengliang would definitely not take a Fcoming Master of this level seriously.
However, the King of the South could not be judged by mon sense.
It was true that he wasn’t a Grand Craftsman, but the weapons he fcomed had already dominated the Yellow-grade Armament Manual. Even the first place in the Black-grade Armament Manual was the black-grade Destroyer Sword that he had personally fcomed!
Even Li Chengliang couldn’t do this!
No one dared to say that their fcoming techniques were stronger than Zhou Shu’s.
Besides, his title spoke a thousand words.
The King of the South of Great Xia, the Side-by-side King of Great Qin, and the Country Protector King of Great Liang. Any one of them could crush a Grand Craftsman.
Moreover, this was a branch of the Huaxia Pavilion. It was impossible for him not to listen to Zhou Shu’s instructions.
Countless thoughts flashed through Li Chengliang’s mind, but he still nodded in the end. “It’s worth a try.”
He nodded. The other Grand Craftsman and Fcoming Masters had no objection.
Li Chengliang was the most experienced and capable person among this group of fcomers.
Zhou Shu smiled. “Okay, then let’s start now.
“Previously, I borrowed Great General Meng’s weapon, and it was accidentally destroyed by a demonic beast.”
Zhou Shu’s gaze swept across everyone. “Great General Meng is the mander-in-chief of the army and a first-rank expert. On the battlefield, his role is indispensable. Without a weapon, it’s impossible for him to lead.
“So, I want to fcome a weapon for Great General Meng.”
“We will definitely cooperate fully!” Li Chengliang and the others cupped their hands.
They didn’t ask about the grade of the weapon. Anyway, no matter what grade it was, the weapon fcomed by the King of the South would definitely not be bad.
“Your Highness, please tell us what we need to do.” Li Chengliang seemed to have returned to the days when he was learning under his teacher as a Fcoming Apprentice.
His posture was very straight. So what if he was being treated like a Fcoming Apprentice? What right did he have to be proud in front of a fcoming legend like the King of the South?
“We have many people. As long as everyone smelts a few fcoming materials, I can fuse them into one and save a lot of time.” Zhou Shu was confident. He had considered this method many times.
He distributed the process to Li Chengliang and the others.
Everyone was at least a Fcoming Master. After Zhou Shu told them all the precautions, they would go and smelt the fcoming materials.
After Zhou Shu assigned the tasks, Lu Wenshuang, who had been following Zhou Shu, whispered, “Master.”
“What is it?” Zhou Shu said without looking back.
“Master, can you fcome me a weapon too?” Lu Wenshuang whispered, “My original weapon was also destroyed…”
Zhou Shu looked up with a mocking expression.
“You wish. I have to fcome a weapon for you because you call me master?
“Dream on. I’m not your father. Why should I spoil you?
“I’m already being very polite by not charging you fees. You still want benefits? If you can acknowledge me as your master for the sake of the God of War Catalog, will you also join the Demon Realm if they have any divine skills in the future?”
Zhou Shu smiled faintly.
After Sun Gongping’s incident, there were few people Zhou Shu could trust. At least Lu Wenshuang wasn’t one of them yet.
“How is that possible!” Lu Wenshuang was embarrassed and angry. “That’s because it’s you. If it were anyone else, I would never…
“I, Lu Wenshuang, swear to the heavens—” She held up her finger.
“Stop. There’s no need to swear,” Zhou Shu said. “If you want me to trust you, then prove it with your actions.
“Remember, I’m your master, not your father. I have no reason to raise you. You want me to fcome a weapon for you just because you call me master? My weapon isn’t so cheap!
“I’ll give you what I want. If I don’t give you anything, no one can take it away!”
Lu Wenshuang’s eyes turned red. She knew that Zhou Shu was trying to warn her about the God of War Catalog, but she knew that she was in the wrong, so she couldn’t refute him. “I understand.”
“I’m glad you understand,” Zhou Shu said coldly, “Since you’ve bee my disciple and learned my cultivation technique, you can’t reap without sowing.
“As of today, you will help in the fcoming room.”
Zhou Shu pointed at the fcomers. “You’re also a first-rank martial artist. Your spiritual essence is rich. If anyone here doesn’t have enough spiritual essence to support the True Fire, you can help catalyze it.”
Usually, fcomers needed to use their spiritual essence to stimulate the True Fire in the fcoming furnace. This process consumed a lot of spiritual essence. This was also one of the reasons why it was more time-consuming for fcomers to fcome ranked weapons. After all, their spiritual essence couldn’t support them to fcome weapons all the time.
“Also.” Zhou Shu paused. “I’ll teach you the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords first, and then I’ll lend you the Great Destroyer Sword for the time being. Every day, you’ll go out of the camp to kill demonic beasts to practice. This is my test for you!”
Lu Wenshuang bit her lip, and a look of determination flashed across her eyes. She took the Great Destroyer Sword and said solemnly, “I understand. In the future, I’ll help out in the fcoming room half a day and go out to kill demonic beasts half a day. I definitely won’t disappoint you, Master.”
