Disaster Strikes.

Chapter 138
the next day.

Before the sun rose, Chen Mo came to the roof.

Different from the martial arts atmosphere in the hive world, Chen Mo's practice of basic skills will only be regarded as a boring act by ordinary people. There is no similar culture in the foggy world. If Chen Mo wants to survive in peace and improve his skill proficiency in the future, naturally he can't Be an outlier in the eyes of others.

There are few people on the roof and it is quiet, so people usually don't pay attention to it.

Otherwise, if you encounter trouble one day, but you are in a state of no energy, it will undoubtedly be quite dangerous.

Facing the east, Chen Mo made a zama step gesture.

Until the first ray of sunlight rushed out of the horizon and shone on Chen Mo's body, he instinctively felt that his body was full of vigor and vitality like the morning sun.

His body cells are becoming more and more active.

call.

As the sun completely rose from the horizon, Chen Mo finally exhaled the turbid air in his chest, ended the zama stance, and stood up slowly.

After wiping off the sweat from my forehead, I just feel refreshed.

Immediately, he began to use the skills of Psychic Bomb, Corrosion Ball, and Despicable Psychic Mask until the energy in his body was wasted, and then drained the energy accumulated in the Cyclops Eye Mask to improve his skill proficiency.

At this time, Chen Mo's Psychic Bomb, Corrosion Ball, and Despicable Psychic Shield skill proficiency are Lv4, Lv1, and Lv3 respectively.

As such.

Chen Mo's priority to upgrade is naturally to upgrade the Despicable One's Psychic Shield to Lv4, so as to obtain the extra attributes of this skill Lv4.

Other than that.

After all, Chen Mo will live in this world for nearly a year.

If the time is fully arranged, it is not impossible to upgrade the Corrosion Ball skill to Lv4.

After all, this is only a D-level skill, and its cooldown time and energy consumption are much lower than those of the C-level skill's despicable Psychic Mask. It will undoubtedly be less difficult to improve the skill proficiency.

Even if Chen Mo goes all out, it is not impossible to raise the Psychic Bomb to Lv7, but this will undoubtedly greatly delay the time for the Corrosion Ball and the Despicable Psychic Mask to improve their proficiency.

After all, Chen Mo's energy value is limited, so the so-called shark's fin and bear's paw cannot have both.

However, Psychic Bomb is only an E-level skill after all. If Chen Mo devotes himself to improving steadily, there is still a good chance to upgrade this skill to Lv6 together.

Thinking like this, Chen Mo, who completely squandered all the energy in his body, suddenly felt full of confidence.

Strive to raise your strength to a higher level within this year!
"Uncle, you just..."

at this time.

Chen Mo couldn't help being taken aback by the surprised voice from the side.

I saw a small head hiding under the clothes on the drying rack, staring at me with big eyes, it was the widow's neighbor's child.

Since this beautiful woman earns her living by being a tailor, her roof is naturally covered with drying racks, which are used to wash and dry the clothes she has sewed.

In a moment of carelessness, Chen Mo didn't notice the little boy who was hiding in the clothes and peeping.

And from the surprised and admiring eyes of this little boy, it is not difficult to see that he has obviously discovered the secret of Chen Mo's ability to use magic.

Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but blame himself.

Without the restraint of a master like Xuanzong, he became slack and careless.

Although it was just a little boy who accidentally discovered his hidden identity, it was nothing. After all, the poison masters in this world also have similar abilities, but the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant nest. This incident is undoubtedly a warning to him. Do things more carefully.

"Uncle, are you a poison master like my father?"

The little boy looked at Chen Mo with excited eyes, as if he admired his dead father very much, which reminded Chen Mo of some of his past encounters.

Children from single-parent families must also have a hard time, right?

So he squatted down, touched the little boy's head and said, "Yes, I am a poison master, but I don't want others to know my identity, so this is our secret, okay?"

"it is good!"

The little boy seemed to have discovered a treasure, his eyes lit up, and he solemnly agreed to come down.

And offered to swear with Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was also happy to play with this little boy, and the two immediately swore solemnly on the roof, then looked at each other and smiled, and became friends.

"By the way, you just said that your father is also a poison master?"

"Yes."

The little boy first showed a look of admiration, and then lost his way and said: "Mom said that Dad was a legendary adventurer in Glory City. He also promised Mom that he would give her a castle. After that, Dad died in a battle. gone."

"Wayne, it's breakfast!"

A beautiful woman's voice came from under the roof, and the little boy hurriedly said, "Here we come!"

Then he suddenly remembered something, climbed up the ladder and stopped, looked at Chen Mo and said, "My name is Wayne, where are you?"

"Chen Mo."

After getting Chen Mo's name, the smile on Wayne's face reflected the morning sun, it can be said that there is no trace of innocence.

"Uncle Chen Mo, this is our secret!"

After watching the little boy back to the room, Chen Mo shook his head and smiled, and left the roof.

Today, he wants to find a way to become a forging apprentice and have his own legal status in Glory City. It is unrealistic not to become a real blacksmith or a craftsman in one year, but at least he must understand it deeply. According to the laws and mysteries, judge whether this deputy position is suitable for you.

After breakfast.

Chen Mo came to the blacksmith workshop block in the north of the city.

There are many large and small blacksmith shops here, at least twenty or thirty, but most of them are only responsible for refining the ore collected in the glory city mining area into pig iron, and then selling it to those castles, or making ordinary weapons and Small workshop for farm implements.

There are only four blacksmith shops that can extract the magic material such as iron essence by refining and refining a large amount of pig iron.

Iron essence is the most basic material needed to create magic equipment.

This is one of the lowest-level magic materials for making magic equipment by extracting ancient forging methods.

Chen Mo's goal is naturally to join one of the four blacksmith shops, become an apprentice, and learn forging techniques.

Among the four blacksmith shops, Chen Mo finally chose this blacksmith shop named "Hundred Refined Gold" for no other reason. In the entire Glory City, only this blacksmith shop has experience in extracting copper essence.

In Chen Mo's hand, there is a piece of copper essence obtained from the Schumacher family.

Like iron essence, copper essence also needs to use a large amount of brass as raw material, after thousands of tempering, to extract one ten-thousandth of copper essence.

But the value of brass is undoubtedly several times higher than that of pig iron.

What made the forgemen of the Glory Mountain even more desperate was that there was no copper ore vein within the Glory Mountain range.

As such.

Bailian Chengjin blacksmith shop adopted a more primitive way to refine copper essence.

That is to obtain brass by smelting a large number of copper coins, and then extract copper essence.

After all, the copper coins have already been migrated by generations of adventurers, and have penetrated into all the people in the Glory Mountains. The amount is huge enough to support the extraction of copper essence.

Even if the value of copper coins rises occasionally due to the scarcity of copper coins, there will be chambers of commerce from distant regions who exchange copper coins that they regard as worthless for gold coins, silver coins, and other supplies in Glory City, making profits and balancing the copper price.

In addition to this method, if the Glory Mountains want to obtain copper essence, they can only transport it from the distant ridge city.

However, the distance between the two cities is long and there are many crises, so it is not realistic to transport ore or brass, only copper essence with high value is possible.

"Hello, is there still recruiting apprentices here?"

"No recruiting, no recruiting, go away, don't block our business!"

If Chen Mo had stopped in front of an ordinary blacksmith shop, someone would have come up to ask what he needed. However, when Chen Mo was standing in front of the blacksmith shop of Bailianchengjin, he had just opened his mouth when he was driven away by the shop manager impatiently. .

"I don't even look at where this is. You can come in if you want to make a hundred refinements into gold?"

Although it is uncomfortable to be looked down upon by others, Chen Mo has calmed down some of his temperament after being honed in the hive world, and he no longer cares about some details.

Since it is life, how can it be smooth sailing?
So while coping with the steward's pushing and shoving, he greeted him with a smile, and took out a dozen silver coins.

Seeing this, the steward was slightly taken aback.

It seems that he didn't expect Chen Mo to take out so many silver coins.

After all, judging from Chen Mo's attire, he is very ordinary, but after all, he is the steward of the blacksmith's shop in the city, and he has seen some things in the world, so he has no intention of accepting bribes from Chen Mo.

"What do you think of Bailian Chengjin's blacksmith shop, and who do you think of me?"

Having said that, the voice of the other party was lowered a lot. While pulling Chen Mo to a remote place, he stretched out his right hand and gestured with three fingers.

Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Of course he understood what the other party meant, but after what happened in the morning, he couldn't help remembering Xuanzong's teaching on keeping money secret. Although he still had a lot of silver coins and even a few gold coins on him, he acted like he was shrinking. Gritting his teeth hard, he took out another five silver coins.

"You are kind."

Seeing this, the steward showed an indifferent expression, obviously not satisfied.

"This is a place where you can make gold! There are many people who want to come here to learn crafts. Even if you are an apprentice with mediocre qualifications, you can earn a few silver coins a month. You don't have to worry about food and clothing. If you have good qualifications, in You have been a blacksmith here for three to five years, and if you can get one or two gold coins a month, it’s not easy, you have to think about it.”

Hearing this, Chen Mo was almost crying.

He gritted his teeth, and took out a few silver coins and some copper coins, which seemed to be all his net worth, but the manager didn't want to let go, and kept persuading Chen Mo to get some more.

People come and go, and people keep paying attention to this side.

Seeing that Chen Mo really couldn't get any money, the steward became a little impatient.

At this moment.

"elder brother?"

Familiar voice, Chen Mo looked back, it turned out to be the grandpa and grandson, who had only seen each other for a day. Although the erythema on the little girl's body hadn't gone away, her spirit was much better. Obviously, she was treated by a more skilled pharmacist here. The high fever has subsided.

"It's you."

Chen Mo was also a little surprised, he didn't expect to meet this grandpa and grandson again.

But soon a scene that shocked him even more appeared!

I saw the steward who was harsh and harsh to him a moment ago, but now he hugged the little girl, and said to the old man in surprise: "Dad, you are not resting at home, why are you here?"

Immediately, he noticed that his father and daughter knew Chen Mo, and asked in confusion, "Who is he?"

"Little brother, we meet again."

The old man did not respond to his son, and greeted Chen Mo with a smile. After all, Chen Mo was a really good person who worked hard behind his back on his granddaughter's back. He saw it in his eyes and was very grateful to Chen Mo.

Then the old man looked at his son.

"This is what I told you yesterday. The good man who carried Xiao Dan all the way, and another little brother, should have gone to Chengnan Pharmacy as an apprentice. Don't forget the kindness of others."

"what!?"

The steward looked at Chen Mo, his originally sour face turned into shame.

He immediately pulled Chen Mo to his side, and said to his father: "What a coincidence, this little brother is thinking of being an apprentice in the blacksmith shop that I am in charge of. Since he is the good guy you mentioned along the way, then this is a favor. Whatever I say, I will help!"
