Chapter 33: Blacksmith: If You Can Cause Even One Point of Damage to Me, You Pass!
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"You, a Mage, want to learn blacksmithing from me?" For a noble Mage to say that he wanted to learn blacksmithing before a Blacksmith, he hit the Blacksmith's G-spot in an instant.
Thus, Wu Yan repeated his question once more.
The Blacksmith laughed out loud, and his heart was filled with pride. To think a once noble Mage was asking to become his apprentice humbly...
After he finished laughing, his face turned cold, "No, you want to learn Blacksmithing? Unless you can pass my trial!"
When he heard the word 'trial', the player who had been forging something with focus at the side shook his head crazily at Wu Yan.
Wu Yan asked softly, "Is this trial very difficult?"
The player who was focused on forging something was obviously a Warrior. He was about to pass on a message to Wu Yan when he was interrupted by the Blacksmith. "Stop sneaking around. Let me put it this way. Up until now, no one has been able to pass my trial."
"It's not that I'm making things difficult for you," After the Blacksmith said this, he seemed to be a little embarrassed,
He was indeed asking a Mage to do a trial that no one could complete...
If word got out, wouldn't it mean that he, a Warrior, was bullying a Mage? His reputation in the NPC circle would be tarnished.
"How about this? I'll lower my requirements a little. As long as you can deal even one point of damage to me in any way, I'll take you in as an apprentice and even make you a good forging hammer."
When he heard the words "a good forging hammer", the breathing of the focused Blacksmith player at the side was visibly quickened.
"Master, isn't the Vajra Hammer something that we can only get after we graduate?" The player mustered up his courage and asked. It seemed that he had suffered quite a lot when he was an apprentice.
The Blacksmith was simply pointed at the warehouse behind the door that was bolted heavily and said, "When did I ever say that I only have one Diamond Hammer?!"
Hearing their conversation, Wu Yan was a little confused. Could it be that the Diamond Hammer was a treasure?
He really did not have much research on the items of the livelihood occupations although there was also a guide on them.
when Wu Yan had been reading the battle guides, he had been immersed in them. He could even read the encyclopedia of monsters and the maps patiently.
However, he simply couldn't find it in himself to read the guide on the livelihood occupations. It might also have something to do with the games he used to play since the livelihood occupations didn't usually help in battles in those games.
In the past, the livelihood occupations in the games he used to play mostly provided some money and allowed trading.
Wu Yan readily agreed to the trial. In any case, just trying it out would do him no harm anyway.
He wasn't obsessed with the idea that the Mage class was very noble, to begin with.
Moreover, in the current storyline of the game, Mages were now in decline.
The other players had probably also noticed such a situation in the game.
Besides, the location of the Skill Learning Magister where he had learned his skills had been exceptionally remote.
Today, when he was strolling the streets, he noticed that all the physics occupations, such as Warriors, Assassins, and so on, were wearing luxurious equipment and standing in the middle of the square.
The most ridiculous thing was that they had individual rooms. If they were tired, they could go and rest or something.
The Blacksmith brought Wu Yan through the front door of a small house, only to be greeted with a huge courtyard at the back.
There was an abundance of items, equipment, and weapons in the courtyard.
It seemed that the Blacksmith's background was also quite extraordinary,
The Blacksmith then brought Wu Yan to the center of the courtyard and casually took a wooden stick,
He said boldly, "I will restrain my abilities to about the same level as yours. If you can injure me, then you will pass the trial successfully."
"But if you can't take a hit from me," The Blacksmith snorted, "Then, please leave."
Wu Yan nodded, then held his Magic Wand seriously and said, "Come on then, attack?"
The Blacksmith thought he had misheard, "Kid, are you out of your mind?"
After saying that, he seemed to have figured it out. Was this Mage still unable to put away his dignity?
In the game, an NPC character of this level would not be able to see the player's specific information unless they used a special method,
They would only be able to see some basic and unimportant information about the player, such as their name, level, and which faction they belonged to.
of course, the "faction" function wasn't open yet and the officials had yet to give a clear explanation as to whether it would be released in the future.
The Blacksmith laughed out loud, "When I was young, I was even more arrogant than you. I often looked down on my opponents and gave them a breathing space. I rarely attacked first."
As if his interest had been piqued, the Blacksmith started talking, and it didn't seem that his story was going to be ending soon, "This scar on my head was when I underestimated a Mage and was burned by his fire dragon. From then on, I never underestimated any enemy again."
"Kid... You're still young..." The Blacksmith was still talking when he realized that Wu Yan had already sat down with his legs crossed,
He was instantly enraged. To think the kid was so arrogant. He had calmed his emotions a little due to being able to share his story just now, but now, he was angry again, "Get up, let's start the battle.".
Just a moment ago, Wu Yan had discovered something new. He discovered that in the safe area within the Main City, his energy would recover faster when sitting compared to standing up.
Since this was the case, he speculated that if he entered the trial state in the Main City, his energy might not recover, but it would not be consumed either.
The full value of his energy for a day was 240 points. He had just recovered to 36 points. He memorized this number and planned to wait until the end of the trial to see what would happen to the value of his energy.
"Then let's do it," Wu Yan's voice was lazy. The Blacksmith was too long-winded. In addition, he had been busy all day and was mentally tired.
The Blacksmith was speechless. He had always had a bad impression of Mages, and now that Wu Yan was doing this, he was thoroughly provoked.
"Since he had already locked his abilities, this was not considered as bullying the other party," the Blacksmith thought to himself.
The facts were, although he had restrained his level to the same level as Wu Yan, his original buff status was still there.
With the addition of these buffs, the Blacksmith's true strength far surpassed that of a level 12 Warrior.
He lifted the wooden stick and attacked Wu Yan, coming at him in an S-shaped path. He was aware that the Mages were all currently greatly weakened, so he was confident that he could see a Mage's delayed casting in an instant. He decided that he would dodge when that happened.
Perhaps it was because of Wu Yan's arrogant attitude that although the Blacksmith was enraged, he was also cautious.
He didn't want any accidents to happen during this attack.
However, the disgusting brat had been standing there without moving. He didn't cast any support spells, nor did he find cover to hide.
What was going on?
Although the Blacksmith looked down on Wu Yan in all aspects, at this moment, he still had kept an extra eye out for himself.
Thus, the moment he got close to Wu Yan, he made a fake slash!
In gaming terms, he canceled a skill that was just about to be released!
Wu Yan had already raised his hand in response to the fake slash, to cast a healing spell.
With that, a holy light shot out from the Magic Wand in his hand.
...
He had been tricked to release a skill!
