356 Steel Blocks of Heaven
The statement of continuing to add some materials is naturally just what Luo Zhen said casually.
It's not that Luo Zhen can't get high-grade materials, but when forging weapons, the more materials the better.
It is true that players can increase the success rate of strengthening by adding materials to enhance weapons, and although only metal is the main material necessary when forging weapons, players can also improve the performance and effect of crafted weapons by adding other materials.
It's just that it's not just a matter of adding some materials.
Some materials do improve performance and effect when added, but others can be a drag.
For example, the weapon that Luo Zhen asked to make was more power-based, and if speed-based materials were added, the performance of the final weapon would probably become messy.
Therefore, the main material provided by Luo Zhen is S-grade metal, and the rest of the materials provided are also carefully selected, not taken out casually.
"If my calculations are correct, the sword that is forged in this ratio will definitely meet my requirements best, and at the same time be able to achieve the highest level of performance."
Based on this idea, Luo Zhen took out all the materials that could be taken out.
As for the rest of the materials that have not been taken out, it is not that Luo Zhen is unwilling to take them out, but if he adds them again, he will not achieve the effect of improving performance, but will drag them down.
Therefore, even if Luo Zhen still had some forging materials for the rest of the weapons, he would not take them out again.
Not knowing this, Liz and Asuna could only look at the mountains of materials piled up on the floor of the studio with some complications.
"I didn't use that many materials to forge my Flickering Light, did I?"
Asuna muttered.
"Anyway, I should be able to show my skills this time."
Liz cheered up quickly, and immediately reacted in a state of mind, adjusted her state, and then excitedly stretched out her hand and clicked on the S-grade metal in her hand.
A window immediately opens in front of the metal.
———— "Celestial Steel Block".
That's the name of this S-grade metal.
Liz was amazed as she confirmed the information on the metal cast.
"It's such a high-grade metal, worthy of the items dropped by the 55th floor of the Guardian Boss."
As she spoke, Liz's emotions became more excited.
Originally, for the sake of Asuna, Liz was ready to make things difficult for Luo Zhen to see what his character was.
But now, seeing the pile of rare materials piled up in front of her, Liz's soul as a forge began to burn, and she completely forgot about it.
But there is no such thing as a forger who is not excited about the situation in front of you, right?
Liz is sure that a player who can come up with such a big deal will probably not be able to find a second one in the entire SAO.
Wait a minute......
If that's the case, who is this player in front of you?
Is it really just one player in the Raiders group?
It's not that Lizzy hasn't served the rest of the Raiders team, but she's sure that other players won't be able to get so many rare materials.
And he did it seemingly lightly, this man's identity is probably not just an ordinary strategy group player, right?
That's what happened to Liz, and then she gave up thinking about it.
It doesn't matter who he is.
Anyway, let's use it first.
Liz was very nervous and ignored the important questions, picked up all the rare materials piled up in front of her, and made some difficulty to the deepest part of the studio.
There, there is a stove of considerable size.
Liz pulls down the lever and lets the attached waterwheel power kick in, pumping the bellows and pumping air into the furnace.
"Bang!"
With an explosion-like sound, a roaring fire erupted in the furnace.
"Hey!"
Liz let out a cheerful cry and threw all the rare materials in her hand into the fire.
Then, with some caution, Liz picked up the S-class metal block and carried it into the furnace.
Luo Zhen immediately stepped forward to watch the scene in the furnace.
Even Asuna couldn't hold back and stepped forward, staring at her with a pair of beautiful eyes.
Under the watchful eyes of the group, a pile of rare materials began to melt and poured on the S-class metal casting block like molten iron, making the casting block shine brightly.
"Good!"
Liz took the glowing block out of the furnace, took the mallet that hung aside, sat down in front of an anvil, and placed the glowing block on it.
Then, the expression on Liz's face disappeared.
No, it should be said that it has been replaced by an extremely serious look.
At this moment, Liz is no longer the smug girl she was just now, but a real blacksmith.
The smith stared closely at the block on the anvil, took a deep breath, and raised the gavel high.
"Boom!"
With the sound of a tap, the hammer landed heavily on the block with the slamming of Liz.
"Qiang-Qiang-Qiang-Qiang-"
This was followed by rhythmic strikes that caused the mallets to fall on the blocks one by one, making a crisp sound and exploding the sparks like dazzling fireworks.
Looking at this scene, not only Luo Zhen, but even Asuna began to concentrate on counting the number of taps.
In SAO, forging weapons doesn't require much of a process, as long as you hit the block the number of times according to the type of weapon you are crafting and the level of metal used, the forging can be completed.
That is, when Liz stops tapping, a brand new weapon is born.
And in the forging process, the more times you knock it, the higher the performance of the crafted weapon.
That's why Rogen and Asuna stared at Liz's forging like this, and counted the number of taps with all their attention.
Especially Luo Zhen, even he couldn't help but feel a little heartbeat at this moment.
For this weapon, Luo Zhen was bleeding unprecedentedly.
Not to mention that there is only one piece of S-class metal in the whole server, but the rest of the rare materials are not simple things that can be obtained, even if it is Luo Zhen's ability, he can only carry out such a large amount of forging once.
Therefore, Luo Zhen was inevitably nervous.
"Boom!"
Liz, who didn't know Luo Zhen's mood, still dropped the hammer and knocked on the block.
"Two hundred ......"
Asuna whispered this, making the tension even stronger.
No way.
"If it's a weapon of the same level as Kirito's 'Interpreter', I guess it will take about two hundred and fifty hits, right?"
Luo Zhen made such an estimate, staring closely at the striking block.
It wasn't long before the two hundred and fifty strokes landed in Liz's hands.
But Liz didn't stop, and continued to tap.
"Two... Two hundred and seventy...! ”
Asuna couldn't hide her surprise.
"Two hundred and eighty...!"
Luo Zhen was also rarely excited.
Liz continued to pound on the block in her hand until the third hundredth stroke, and then stopped.
"Zheng!"
At this moment, the casting block lit up again, emitting a dazzling white light.
In the white light, the block that had been struck three hundred times changed shape little by little, and finally turned into a sword.
When the light completely disappeared, the full picture of the sword came into everyone's eyes.
The group looked at the weapons in front of them, and immediately held their breath in unison.
