Chapter 1255 - Heartache filling the screen (1/2)
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue asked, “Have you decided yet? Is it going to be the big hammer or the small hammer?” She waved her hands around, causing the big hammer and the small hammer to impressively spin in her hands.
Song Shuhang asked, “Which one among the big hammer and the small hammer is better?”
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue replied, “Each has its own advantages. The advantage of the big hammer is that it’s heavy, making the weapon forged by it strong and durable. The small hammer is small and flexible, causing it to be better for finer parts.”
Song Shuhang said, “Then… Why not both?”
He recalled the design of his life-bound magical treasure, the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior’. The outer casing of the glove needed to be as strong as possible, while the small parts inside had to be done extremely precisely.
“Customer, you have chosen the right option.” Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s lips curled up. “The big hammer and the small hammer only work best when used together. Moreover, it is only by using both hammers that I am able to live up to my forging level.”
The sea turtle’s mouth twitched faintly, but this time it didn’t say anything.
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue said, “Time is vital. After I finish the treasure for you, I still have to buy all the items on the list. Where is your ‘Defiant Whale Warrior’ design? You only have to deal with the core part and you can leave the rest to me.”
Song Shuhang took out a pen and paper, quickly wrote down the forging technique of the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior’ that was in his mind, and handed it to Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue.
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue glanced at the design and the forging technique of the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior’ and nodded. “This magical treasure isn’t bad, it’s quite creative. Now it’s time to choose which material is to be used for its forging…”
She glanced at Song Shuhang’s pile of materials again, and said, “The prototype of your ‘Defiant Whale Warrior’ glove needs the bone of a whale spirit beast or a whale monster. You have six kinds of whale spirit beast and three kinds of whale monster whale bones here, all of which are at the Fifth Stage Realm. Which one among these do you want to use for the forging? ”
“Fairy, can you use this?” Song Shuhang pointed at Sage Monarch Melon Eater’s rib bones.
The corners of Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s mouth twitched. “Of course I’d be able to use those, but I don’t recommend that, as you would be wasting the Eighth Stage Sage Whale whale bones. You’re only having a Fourth Stage magical treasure forged for you, and Fifth Stage materials would already be good enough to do so. Actually, in my opinion, using Fifth Stage materials for this would already be quite wasteful. If you were to directly use these Sage Whale’s bones, it would truly be no different from throwing them away.”
Song Shuhang said, “It’s fine. Anyway, I still have some more whale bones in stock. Furthermore, the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior’ is going to be my life-bound magical treasure. Even if I do plan on forging the Combined Magical Treasure in the future, I will definitely use the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior’ as its core. As such, the stronger the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior’ is, the better.”
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue: “…”
The sea turtle yawned. “That which is obtained easily will often not be cherished. Whether it is feelings or treasures. Fellow Daoist Song, one must cherish what one has!”
“The bones of an Eighth Stage Whale are indeed very precious. Do you not want to give it more thought?” Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue also asked.
Song Shuhang thought about it for a moment, and asked, “Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue, about how many of these bones do you need to forge the gloves?”
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue estimated it, and replied, “This bone is huge, so one would be enough.”
“Then it’s completely fine,” Song Shuhang said. “I have more than 16 such whale bones in my hands, so using one won’t affect me much. Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue, just use this whale bone to forge the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior’ gloves.”
F*ck, sixteen? That many?
No wonder this guy doesn’t cherish the Eighth Stage whale bone at all.
“In that case, I’ll just do as you say.” Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue extended her hand and lifted the Whale Sacred Bone onto the forging table.
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue then said, “Oh, Seven Daoist Names… cough~ Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song. Before I start hammering, I have to remind you of one thing. The Eighth Stage whale bone is extremely hard. I will have to use a secret technique of the Heavy Metal Sect to temper it… As such, you need to be mentally prepared.”
Song Shuhang subconsciously asked, “Is the price per strike going to increase?”
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue said, “The price won’t increase, but the bone of a Sage Whale is difficult to temper. Doing so will take a long time, and with that, the total price will definitely increase.”
Song Shuhang nodded. “That makes sense.”
“Then, thank you for your patronage!” Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s arms became coated in dark metal color, similar to when Song Shuhang used the ❮Steel Hands Technique❯.
Afterward, she took another deep breath and urged the secret technique of the Heavy Metal Sect once more. After that, the color of her hands changed and turned into a golden color, just as if they had been cast in gold.
Her eyes were fixed on the steps needed for forging the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior Gloves’; she was etching the steps into her mind.
In the next moment, the two hammers began to move.
“Ding~”
The big hammer struck the whale bone, causing a burst of bright sparks. As the big hammer fell, flames rose from the forging table, making it so that the whale bone was encased in flame.
The fire rose along with the movements of the hammer, rising high up and dancing in the air.
Song Shuhang rubbed his eyes, and wondered if he had been seeing things—as he watched Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s big hammer hit, there was a flame that flowed up the hammer, and then a string of characters condensed above the sledgehammer.
+100
I’m probably just thinking too much, how could flames possibly turn into numbers? Song Shuhang thought.
“Haah!” At this moment, Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue shouted and used the big hammer to strike the bone once more.
“Ding~”
Another flame rose along the big hammer and turned into a ‘+100’.
The flames rose higher and higher, and eventually condensed the number 200 before disappearing.
F*ck, I wasn’t seeing things!
Song Shuhang had clearly just seen what had happened.
The flames really did turn into a number!
While he was in thought, Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue swung the hammer for the third time.
“Ding~”
Flames rose and turned into a ‘+100’ again. The flaming text rose higher and higher before finally turning into a ‘300’ and disappearing.
Heavens, the flaming text is a counter.
Every time Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue struck down with the big hammer, a ‘+100’ would appear, and then this number would add to the total.
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue said, “Very good, it’s coming together fairly well.”
In the next moment, her arms waved around quickly.
+100
+100
+100
