Gold Hammer!

"Come, come, come," Blacksmith Xiang Liang gathered all his apprentices.

There were about dozens of people in the Main City who had chosen to become Blacksmith apprentices.

Wu Yan silently thought about the worldview of the game. In this huge world of the game, there were thousands of NPCs like Blacksmith Xiang Liang.

Just thinking about it was ridiculous,

However, as the overall level rose, the number of high-level NPCs should also decrease.

Wu Yan was pulled to the center by Blacksmith Xiang Liang.

at a glance, there really wasn't a single Mage, while there were a few Priests and Summoners.

Of course, the apprentices mainly consisted of Warriors. During the Blacksmith training, many Warriors would take off their equipment and challenge the extreme limits of their strength through forging.

It seemed that these livelihood occupation skills were not easy to train. They might be even more complicated than the training of normal skills.

The Warrior apprentice who had first talked to Wu Yan was quite surprised.

He had witnessed how Blacksmith Xiang Liang and Wu Yan were not on good terms and had also overheard how Blacksmith Xiang Liang had stated requirements that were enough for them to graduate against Wu Yan.

What had happened?

Did this Mage really manage to hurt their Master?

Blacksmith Xiang Liang was a Warrior with ridiculous defense and unexpected evasive maneuvers. None of the players who had challenged him before had succeeded in graduating.

Among the many livelihood occupations in the main city, very few players could successfully graduate from being apprentices at the current stage. It was only about 1 in 10,000.

Usually, the completion of one's apprenticeship would come after the class advancement because before that, their attributes would be greatly suppressed by their Masters even though the Masters had suppressed their levels as well.

Compared to the real world, the players in this game world were a little more humane. After Wu Yan was introduced, they even applauded and greeted him.

In the real world, no one would respond to such a thing.

Except for the players in the top academies, most of them were still struggling for their lives.

For example, among the livelihood occupations were Fishing Masters, who could sell fish at a high price in exchange for some necessities.

After introducing Wu Yan, Blacksmith Xiang Liang took out his long-cherished hammer from his back and said seriously, "This hammer is yours. You have to use it well."

Wu Yan took over the hammer, feeling puzzled. It was just a hammer, so why was he so serious?

He looked at the basic introduction of the hammer.

------

[Item name: Xiang Liang's Hammer]

[Item Grade: Gold]

[Item Level Restriction: Players above level 10 can use it.]

[Item Description: The reward for the first player to be recognized by Blacksmith Xiang Liang]

[Item Effects: Forging Speed +10%, Forging EXP +30%. Upon successfully forging an item, there is a probability of obtaining an increase in Vitality and Strength, depending on the grade of the item.]

----

Wu Yan held the gold-grade item in his hand, his face full of shock.

Blacksmith Xiang Liang was quite satisfied with Wu Yan's expression. Even a once-noble Mage was able to recognize a good item.

The NPC Mages who were with him in the past did not even look at his hammer and even mocked him, saying that it was something that would only be used by a vulgar person.

The more he looked at the introduction of this item, the more Wu Yan was satisfied. Since he was already an apprentice, according to the rules, he had to address the other party as "Master Xiang".

"Master Xiang, how long can I train for a day at most?" Wu Yan asked curiously.

Blacksmith Xiang Liang raised his rough eyebrows and his big eyes were full of surprise, "How long do you want to train for?"

He had been thinking of how to make Wu Yan suffer more by making him stay by this terrible and hot stove for a little longer, just to make fun of a Mage so that his vanity would be satisfied...

Blacksmith Xiang Liang did not realize that he was getting increasingly deviated from his path of confrontation with Mages.

Wu Yan answered without hesitation, "Of course the longer the better. It would be best if I trained to the limits every day or something like that."

Huh?

Blacksmith Xiang Liang fell into deep thought. The young Mage before him had answered so decisively that it did not seem like he was lying at all.

He sighed, and a hint of worry appeared between his brows, "Due to the limitation of the rules, every livelihood occupation is o limited to only two hours each day."

Although the limit was two hours, those apprentices usually left after one hour.

No one was willing to spend too much time on livelihood occupations, because the apprentices could only get items that could increase attributes like Wu Yan's hammer after they finished their apprenticeship.

Currently, they only had silver-grade hammers that only increased forging speed and forging experience.

Moreover, forging was really too boring.

The boringness was truly transmitted to the brain, and it required one to really forge one step at a time.

Compared to forging in all its boringness, doing the favorability quests or relaxed exploration quests was much more interesting than spending time on livelihood occupations.

Nowadays, few players could complete their apprenticeship,

In any case, since none of them could complete their apprenticeship, the other players felt more balanced.

They would just turn a blind eye to those experts.

Thus was the strange mentality about ordinary people. If everyone had something and they didn't have it, they would anxious.

In contrast, when most people didn't have that something, they wouldn't be so anxious.

Wu Yan even asked several times if it was true that he could only spend two hours on forging. After confirming it, he immediately started.

Only Blacksmith Xiang Liang was confused.

When Wu Yan raised the forging hammer, he finally understood why the others were unwilling to forge for too long.

The soreness in his arms was very real when raising the hammer in comparison to holding a magic wand,

Every time he swung the hammer, he could feel a heavy reverberation that truly existed.

Though with his Vitality, he wouldn't feel tired soon.

The most ridiculous thing was that his energy was recovering.

Was this anti-human method of recovering energy really good?

Wu Yan fell into doubt.

Every apprentice had their own forging room. Of course, one could also see scenes where players would forge in the hall together.

Wu Yan had gone to the hall to take a look at the situation of the other players and saw that most of them were frowning.

It turned out that he was not alone. Wu Yan felt relieved.

Hence, the speed at which he swung his hammer increased,

The first thing he prepared to forge was a bronze-grade magic wand. In his current situation, his weapon was his weak point.

Even if the Magic Wand in his hand was a silver-grade weapon from the one-on-one battlefield of the Legendary Guild, there were many differences between silver-grade weapons.

After reaching the silver grade, weapons would have an inlay space.

Normally, a silver-grade weapon could be inlaid with an ore. After that was done, a weapon would have an additional attribute bonus.

Meanwhile, Wu Yan's current silver-grade magic wand did not have any inlay space.
