Chapter 150: Gave Guidance to Freshmen, Gold-level Leg Armor?
The Metalwork Base fell silent. The students were slowly getting used to the shock that Lin Tian had brought them. He was the first to successfully forge a man-made armored weapon, the first to complain that a quasi-silver-grade armored weapon was not powerful enough and the first student to be surrounded by many members of the Armored Envoy Association.
These new students had experienced how difficult it was to enter the Armored Envoy Association. Out of the 200 or so students in here, more than half of them had tried to join the Armored Envoy Association, almost all of the new students from Hex City Base had gone. However, all of them were eliminated without exception.
How famous was the Armored Envoy Association in Hex City Base? Even an ordinary person would know about this organization. One could imagine how influential it was. Entering the Armored Envoy Association was a matter of honor for them. In the end, they couldn’t enter, but Lin Tian did.
However, the farce ended very quickly. Lin Tian was forcefully pulled out to act as an instructor. He and Liu Hao taught the freshmen how to forge together.
“Do you have the nerve to let a freshman guide the other freshmen?”
Lin Tian wailed. Although being an instructor required a certain amount of hard work, he had only forged once and was asked to guide other freshmen. How could Miss Xu and the others let him do that?
“We do!”
Liu Hao, Xu Min and the rest said almost at the same time. Lin Tian was at his wit’s end and could only rely on his own experience to guide them. His experience was not quite the same as the others. Everyone basically relied on the theoretical knowledge in the textbooks to forge the weapon, but he taught the freshmen to believe in their magical beasts.
One was a more effective and highly feasible forging method that required a large amount of data. The other was a mutual trust between partners. One was rational and the other one was emotional. It was clear that the success rate of the emotional forging method was not very good at the start, but the freshmen had basically succeeded the second time.
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
Rays of light surged out of the smelting workshop one after another. One after another, the freshmen walked out of the smelting workshop with their man-made armored weapons. They looked at the armored weapons in their hands happily, and a sense of accomplishment rose within them.
“Not bad. You actually thought of such a sentimental forging method!”
Liu Hao walked in front of Lin Tian, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile. He had always been superstitious about data. The conclusion that came from countless data experiments made Liu Hao firm on the data. As long as it was within the margin of error, he felt that he would definitely be able to succeed more than 70% of the time, which was more realistic than Lin Tian’ way of believing in the magical beasts.
However, Lin Tian had given him an eye-opener. He did not expect that there would be such a method. In fact, the success rate of Lin Tian’s forging method was much higher than that of Liu Hao and the others. Many students could only forge a raw armor in the end, and under Lin Tian’s guidance, the success rate of obtaining an armored weapon had greatly increased.
“Lin Tian, you are very impressive!”
Even Miss Xu could not help but admire Lin Tian. He was the first student that she admired. For so many years, she had always been number one. Otherwise, she would not have climbed to the position of the deputy director of the Armored Envoy Association at such a young age. Today, she saw another possibility in Lin Tian.
Lin Tian was very talented and very powerful. He could see what others could not see, and at the same time, he believed in his own magical beast.
“Magical beasts are not our tool, right?”
Lin Tian looked at Xu Min and Liu Hao with a smile. When Xu Min and Liu Hao heard his words, they were stunned for a moment before they thought about it and laughed.
Finally, as the students finished one after another, it was already eight o’clock at night. After a day of forging, everyone was satisfied. Of course, the Metalwork Base forging course would not end so soon, it would last for a whole week. Right now, the weapons that Lin Tian and the others were forging were still relatively coarse man-made armored weapons. They needed to be reprocessed.
Even Lin Tian’s leg armor was still quite coarse.
“Ding, ling, ling!”
However, at this moment, the bell for the end of the class rang.
…
The Metalwork Base forging course continued for a long period of time. Lin Tian had learned quite a bit about forging in this course. Lin Tian had a deeper understanding of man-made armored weapons. However, he did not take action on the second set of armored weapons.
As for the other students, they had already started forging the second set of armored weapons after completing the first set of armored weapons. Furthermore, after gaining experience, many of them were able to forge bronze-level armored weapons, Zhou Yi and the rest had even forged quasi-silver armored weapons.
Zhou Yi, Wang Xue, and the others were quite talented. Of course, Wang Xue and the others were not the only ones among the freshmen. There were also a few freshmen who were quite talented. Their strength and talent were not bad. Up until now, there were already ten quasi-silver armored weapons, which far surpassed the quality of the armored weapons forged by the students last year.
“Lin Tian, it’s been a long time. Haven’t you thought about it yet?”
Xu Min realized that Lin Tian had not been forging much in the past few days. He had only forged the raw armor and had not made any further progress. This made Xu Min very confused. However, Lin Tian was the first student to forge a quasi-silver armored weapon. She could understand Lin Tian’s feelings.
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. You’ve done well enough!”
Xu Min said in a deep voice. She comforted Lin Tian. She thought Lin Tian didn’t want to make another move because he was worried that he would be worse than before when he made the second armored weapon. After all, anyone would be worried about such a situation, even she would be very disappointed if she couldn’t make a better armored weapon than the first time.
The starting point was too high, and there was no way to surpass it. The fall was indeed quite painful.
“Miss Xu, I want to forge a gold-level armored weapon. Do you think it’s possible?”
However, Lin Tian’s answer was unforgettable to Xu Min. She almost choked on Lin Tian’s words. A silver-level armored envoy wanted to forge a gold-level armored weapon? Wasn’t that just a dream?
Although Lin Tian could be said to have created history and a miracle, miracles did not always happen. What he had did was already magnificent.
“Of course, I hope that it is possible, but looking at the current situation, it is very difficult!”
However, Xu Min did not want to discourage Lin Tian’s enthusiasm. Not to mention how difficult it was to forge a gold-level armored weapon, it was already good enough that Lin Tian had such a heart. In the end, she chose to encourage Lin Tian. Of course, when Lin Tian knew how difficult the materials for a gold-level armored weapon were, he would probably back down.
“What if there are enough materials?”
Just as Xu Min was about to explain to Lin Tian how rare the materials for a gold-level armored weapon were, Lin Tian suddenly said something that shocked her so much that she could not speak. A gold-level armored weapon required as many as three types of core materials. Moreover, there was one item that even if he used his academic credits, it would still be close to a sky-high price. Lin Tian actually said that he had it?
“This… how is this possible?”
Xu Min exclaimed in shock. She took half a step back and looked at Lin Tian in disbelief.
