Chapter 139 - Dull (2/2)

Even though everyone still addressed Old Craftsman as the chief of Military Fire Blacksmiths, everyone knew that the t.i.tle remained only because n.o.body dared to offend Ou Yangming. If that was not the case, the term of address would have been used for Ou Yangming long ago. As Ou Yangming’s Military Fire danced again, ten precious ores instantly disappeared, and four pieces of Attribute Equipment appeared on the smithing table.

The four pieces of Attribute Equipment were attached with 5 points of attributes in total, especially the military saber that was a super weapon with 2 Points of Power. If it was shown to the other people in the military camp, even a captain like Liu Zhengye would rack his brain to get his hands on it.

As for the remaining 5 points of attributes from the ores, Ou Yangming had naturally kept them for himself.

Despite that, Ou Yangming frowned when he looked at the weapons on the smithing table.

He was not satisfied with them.

Honestly, after smithing with the absurd materials in the Chaos Cave, Ou Yangming began looking down on normal materials.

Not to mention normal steel, even if he was presented with featured steel, he could point out their shortcomings.

If he compared the pieces of equipment that were smithed using steel with the ones that were smithed in the Chaos Cave…

Ou Yangming’s face reddened because he had a sudden urge to destroy the sc.r.a.p metals.

He wondered how Liu Zhengye and the other captains would lament if they knew that the pieces of equipment that they valued were regarded as sc.r.a.p metals by him. Ou Yangming sighed as he packed the pieces of equipment, then carried them toward the equipment depot. His arrival quickly caused a disturbance in the depot, but Kang Weibo arrived soon and was elated when he saw the equipment. Ou Yangming had brought four pieces of Attribute Equipment once he returned to the camp, one of them even had layered attributes. It was a huge favor. As such, Kang Weibo only had one thought at that moment, ‘My hard work when Old Craftsman was sick wasn’t in vain.’

“Sir Kang,” Ou Yangming greeted after glancing at Kang Weibo. Kang Weibo was happily checking the pieces of equipment when he heard Ou Yangming, hence he immediately ran over to the blacksmith and bent over a little. “Master Ou, what orders do you have for me?” Ou Yangming said, “After this, get someone to send steel and a hundred precious ores to my smithing workshop.” “What? A hundred precious ores?” Kang Weibo widened his eyes and twitched his mouth such that he could not let out another word.

If Ou Yangming had asked for twenty or thirty precious ores, he would have agreed even if he was reluctant, but a hundred ores were truly beyond his authority limit.

“You won’t get any more equipment this month if you can’t do it.” Ou Yangming scoffed and left.

‘The young master has gotten really quick-tempered, but the problem is that a hundred precious ores is beyond the limits of my authority.’ Kang Weibo was struck dumb as he watched Ou Yangming leave.

He stomped his feet and left as fast as he could to look for Supervisor Qu Jianming from the Provision Camp.

After hearing Kang Weibo’s complaint, Qu Jianming uttered after some thought, “Give them to him!”

Kang Weibo gulped. “Sir, those are a hundred…”

“Hehe, since Master Ou has such a big request, we must fulfill it. As long as he submits the same number of equipment, the more the precious ores we give, the better.”

Kang Weibo’s eyes lit up, and he agreed to the supervisor to flatter him. He understood the theory very well, but he was not someone who could make the call. Thus, he naturally had to act dumb in front of a boss who was qualified to make the decision.

A hundred precious ores along with pieces of steel were sent to Ou Yangming’s smithing workshop that night.

Ou Yangming spent three days to refine every piece of equipment.

Based on his speed, he could have easily completed everything in a day, let alone three days.

In spite of that, Ou Yangming did not want to scare the other people to death, so he could only force himself to slow down. Even then, his “slow” speed almost stupefied Kang Weibo and the rest.

That said, Ou Yangming was not delighted about his work at all.

If it was not because he wanted to recover the lost attributes in his mind, he would not have smithed the normal pieces of Good Grade and High Grade equipment. Ou Yangming’s mind was still on the powerful materials in the Chaos Cave.

His ability could only be unleashed to its full potential if he smithed with those materials. Besides, Ou Yangming also felt that he needed to make a trip back to the cave if he wanted to complete what Old Craftsman had promised General Chen Yifan.

Nonetheless, before General Chen could approach him, another general had visited.

Commanding General Fang Yihai from the South Camp had paid Ou Yangming a visit with Guards Captain Yu Hailiang.

The general was a direct and honest man, so the first thing he said was, “Master Ou, since Old Craftsman has recovered, can you head to the prefecture? Hehe, my family members have been anxiously waiting for your arrival.”
