"Since you have the status of a forging apprentice, you can't meet the boss's requirements, so don't want the identity of this apprentice;" Zhou Zhuang gritted his teeth and said;

"What, Lao Zhou, don't be impulsive!" Li Min's face changed greatly, although forging apprentices didn't sound very good, but this life profession does not mean that whoever wants to get it can get it, it must go through a series of inaugural tasks before it can be completed, and Lao Zhou's current proficiency is about to be promoted to a formal forging master, if he gives up like this, then his efforts in the past few months will be in vain;

"Do you have a better way?" Zhou Zhuang turned his head and asked;

Li Min was speechless, she wasn't even a forger, she didn't have any say at all;

"What if...... Lao Zhou, what if you give up your identity as a forging apprentice and still can't forge it? Li Min asked;

"Then I really can't help it, Manager Li, no, Mr. Li, you can choose another master." Zhou Zhuang smiled bitterly;

"Okay, Lao Zhou, then let's take a gamble, don't worry, even if you give up your apprenticeship, you still can't create a long sword that satisfies the boss, and you won't starve to death in the future, I will provide you with another employment card for the apprentice of the blacksmith;" Li Min said solemnly;

"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll fight for my life and gamble;" Zhou Zhuang's body trembled slightly, and he said excitedly;

System: Are you going to give up your status as a blacksmith apprentice?

Are you sure! Zhou Zhuang gritted his teeth and said, his eyes were full of bloodshots; For Zhou Zhuang, who has only one career in life, this decision is very difficult to make;

System: You have given up your status as an apprentice of the Blacksmith, and your proficiency is cleared!

A tired look appeared on Zhou Zhuang's face, and a strand of hair on his sideburns appeared pale in color, abandoning his identity as a forging master apprentice, as if he had sucked away his spirit;

"Master Zhou, are you still holding on?" Li Min asked with some hesitation, Zhou Zhuang looked very haggard at this time;

"It's okay, I'll go get my casting hammer;" Zhou Zhuang sighed and said;

The forging tools used by Zhou Zhuang are a set of silver-quality products, but Xu Feng's requirements are strange, and Zhou Zhuang does not dare to use this set of tools to build weapons again, so he can only retrieve the set of tools before the apocalypse;

Zhou Zhuang fished out a package from under the bed, it looked heavy, and when he opened it, it was full of some worn-out tools;

"Old man, I didn't expect that I would pick you up again one day;" Zhou Zhuang wiped the dust on the tool and said in a low voice;

……

Bang, bang, bang~

The fire was burning in the furnace, on the iron felt, sparks were splashing, and the red flames reflected Zhou Zhuang's dark face and thick arms, and on his face, there was a look that he had never had before;

Soon, the blank of a long sword appeared on the iron felt, and the rest was that Zhou Zhuang needed to keep hammering to remove the impurities in the blank;

It took more than two hours for a long sword emitting cold light to appear in Zhou Zhuang's hand;

"Cheng, did you succeed?" Li Min looked at the long sword with an excited look on his face.

Just looking at the appearance, Li Min already felt that Zhou Zhuang must have succeeded this time;

"It worked, it's the best longsword I've ever built!" Zhou Zhuang's fingers lightly rubbed on the blade of the sword, and a trace of blood appeared;

"However, this is just the simplest long sword, and the material used is not particularly good, I can only forge thirty stacks of long swords now, if it were my father, he should be able to forge fifty stacks, my ancestors once forged one hundred and eight stacks of steel knives, but that kind of knife takes too long, at least three days and three nights;" Zhou Zhuang showed a trace of regret on his face;

"Thirty stacks of long swords, it's good enough, I'll take it to the boss to see!" Li Min said excitedly;

……

Xu Feng took the long sword handed over by Li Min, this is just an ordinary quality long sword, now, I'm afraid no one wants to hunt monsters with such a weapon, such an ordinary quality weapon, even the fur of a one-star monster can't be cut, Xu Feng didn't even dare to flick the blade lightly, with his four-star strength, I'm afraid that with a flick, this long sword can be shattered;

Xu Feng used the method of casting the heart sword, mixed a wisp of sword essence true qi, mixed with a trace of divine soul, and slowly infected the long sword, sure enough, the process was very smooth, and he didn't hear the system prompt, Xu Feng was happy in his heart;

The Swinging Sword Sect's Heart Casting Sword is not to collect the long sword in its entire body, but to refine the long sword with true qi and divine soul every day, condense a little true spirit, and use it as the sword embryo of the heart sword, and this time is often measured in years;

"Thank you Master Zhou for me and invite him to join the miracle!" Xu Feng said that in order to forge a long sword for him, Zhou Zhuang actually gave up his identity as a forging master apprentice, which made Xu Feng a little moved;

"Buy him an employment card as soon as possible, and increase his strength to three stars!" Xu Feng said: "Give this to him, he may use it in the future!" ”

Xu Feng handed a turtle shell with a dark gold color to Li Min;

"This is, dark gold quality material?" Li Min was surprised;

"Yes, when he is promoted, you can use this to increase his chances of promotion!" Xu Feng said with a smile;

Dark gold quality materials, even if they are used by Zheng Yi, who has become an expert forger, are a bit wasteful, at least the forging grandmaster will use dark gold quality materials;

However, good materials, if used to forge low-level equipment, are of course overkill, but the success rate will be very high, and there is a high chance of creating a boutique beyond the general quality, if you use this dark gold quality turtle shell to forge, at least a gold quality item can be forged;

……

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the third day, and the task of Xu Feng's one hundred elite insect soldiers had been completed, leaving only the last one to destroy the insect hive, and the task released by the will of the earth was all completed;

The mercenaries also died more than a hundred, and the fate points alone cost nearly 800,000, as well as a pension, after this task was done, Xu Feng spent nearly a million fate points, and he felt distressed when he thought about it;

However, the money is worth it, it is almost impossible to destroy ten insect hives in three days, there are countless insect soldiers in each insect hive, like a sea of insects, no matter how powerful Xu Feng is, even if he lets those insect soldiers stand still, he will be killed with numb hands; Moreover, when destroying the insect hive, all the fourth-level insect soldiers were killed by Xu Feng, and along the way, he also collected eighteen four-star insect crystals, if each insect crystal gave him three free attribute points, then his strength attribute could be upgraded to four stars;

"Boss, the hive in front of you seems to be a third-level hive!" A thief sneaked up to Xu Feng and whispered;

"Level 3 hive, did a level 3 hive appear so soon?" Xu Feng was shocked, and his heart sank;
