Chapter 156 - If He Could Forge Just by Throwing the Materials Into the Furnace, Why Would a Forging Master Need to Exist? (1/2)

After hearing the host’s words, Somerfeld’s expression looked slightly better.
Although he had lost his advantage, he had at least gained a good reputation.
Since the competition had already begun, there was no need to waste time.
Somerfeld immediately picked a furnace and began to work.
The other two Dwarfs did the same.
Mike stood where he was and narrowed his eyes.
He already knew that these Dwarfs did not treat him as an equal contestant.
From the other three contestants to the audience and the host, they all had the same thought.
Looking at the top furnace and excellent forging materials that were reserved for Mike, Mike slowly approached it.
“Since you think that humans don’t know how to forge, I’ll show you today.”
As Mike said this, he picked up four forging materials.
[Excellent malachite ingot]
This was the material in Mike’s hand, while the others were just ordinary iron ingots.
The quality of the material was indeed vastly different.
Mike casually opened the metal door of the furnace, and a wave of hot air rushed to his face, making him feel as if he was in a volcano that could erupt at any time.
The temperature in the furnace would also affect the forging. The furnaces of the other three Dwarfs were not as hot.
However, the top furnace that Mike used could easily reach a high temperature.
After throwing the four excellent malachite ingots into the furnace, Mike stood aside and waited patiently.
When the other three Dwarf players saw this scene, they all showed a look of disdain.
An excellent forge master would definitely not act like this during the forging process.
They needed to keep staring at the materials in the furnace from the furnace window to observe the state of the materials.
Only when the materials were taken out and forged in the best condition could they forge an excellent finished product.
Time passed bit by bit.
Sweat gradually appeared on the foreheads of the three Dwarfs. They stared at the iron ingots in the furnace, afraid that they would miss the best opportunity to forge.
Mike, on the other hand, stood beside the furnace and closed his eyes gently, as if he did not care about the situation in the furnace at all.
In fact, this was the advantage of adventurers.
They did not need to observe with their eyes. The best time was when the player’s system gave a prompt.
With a click, Somerfeld was the first to open the metal door of the furnace. He used the iron tongs to take out the ingots in the furnace.
At this time, these iron ingots had completely melted into a large iron ingot. The surface color of the iron ingots had changed from dark black to an appalling red.
If anyone carelessly put their hands on it, their hands would instantly turn into roasted meat.
Somerfeld carefully placed the iron ingot on the iron felt and began to hammer the large iron ingot.
This was to shape the iron ingot.
Almost at the same time, the other two Dwarfs also opened the metal door of the furnace and took out the iron ingot in the furnace.
From the color of the iron ingots, it could be seen that the skills of these two Dwarfs were slightly inferior to that of Somerfeld.
The shape of Somerfeld’s iron ingots was more intact, and the color was dark red like magma.
The other two people’s iron ingots showed some signs of melting.
In that state, the shaping of the iron ingots would become more difficult.
They were already behind Somerfeld in this first step.
The two of them looked serious. They immediately began shaping the iron ingot, trying to catch up with Somerfeld in the following steps.
Hammering sounds could be heard throughout the competition venue as the three Dwarfs swung their fording hammers.
