Chapter 40: Breaking Barriers
"To pursue a goal in the way you do is like climbing a tree to catch fish." Using such a method to pursue a goal is like climbing a tree to catch fish. It means that if the direction and method of effort are wrong, one will definitely not achieve his goal.
On the continent of Teyvat, where even the most basic structure of the world is different from that of other worlds, using forging methods from other worlds to seek breakthroughs is like trying to catch fish in a tree and trying to find a sword on a boat.
The disparity of the world taught the arrogant time traveler a severe lesson, telling him that although some of his knowledge is useful, some of it is useless.
In my world, all rules must operate according to my plan.
Fortunately, Ren Lian Lingyi was not a person who would stick to a dead end. When he confirmed that he was unable to forge excellent weapons with his existing knowledge, Ren Lian Lingyi gave up the idea of forging excellent weapons. While carrying out daily training, he waited for the arrival of Lei Diandian, the forging god of Inazuma.
Only Lei Dianying can forge magical artifacts in batches, but it is said that the forging ability of the Rock God next door and his former follower, the Rock Dragon King Ruota, is also exaggerated, and they can easily produce magical artifacts.
The Five Legends of Thunder and Lightning under her are not simple either. They are five families and five forging schools. Many of these family members and school members are forging masters (forging LV6). These forging masters can forge extraordinary weapons (three stars) in batches under normal circumstances. With blueprints and prototypes, they can even forge epic weapons (four stars, these blacksmith masters are similar to the blacksmiths in the game).
Some even entered the inhuman realm in the blacksmith field (forging LV7) and were able to forge epic weapons without an original embryo (purple weapons, such as the Cage Fishing Bottle One Heart, were forged without an original embryo, but the Cage Fishing Bottle One Heart also had to be recast before it stabilized. In addition, the special effects are very beautiful.)
For life skills such as forging and cooking, the evaluation system remaining from the system also has separate divisions.
For the blacksmiths, they are LV1 novices (apprentices), who can at most make farm tools.
If you pass LV2, you can forge one-star weapons. Most blacksmiths in villages and small towns are at this level.
LV3 is excellent and can occasionally forge two-star weapons. Some blacksmiths in villages and small cities are at this level.
LV4 is excellent and can stably produce two-star weapons, and occasionally three-star weapons. Most blacksmiths in small cities and a small number of large cities are at this level.
LV5 Master, with a high probability of creating three-star weapons, can provide extraordinary weapons (three stars) to the military organization that commands the entire region (Shogunate Army, Knights of Favonius)
LV6 Master can create three-star weapons stably, and can create four-star weapons if there are embryos and blueprints.
LV7 is extraordinary and can create four-star weapons without raw materials and blueprints.
LV8 Extraordinary, Unknown
LV9 God, can cast a damaged artifact into a new one
LV10 God can directly forge artifacts.
…
Lei Dianying soon returned to Renlian Island, still accompanied by the oppressive feeling like a thunderstorm.
Lei Dianying first did the real work and conducted a test on Anzi Shikano, who had recovered well and had already started secondary development. It was confirmed that Anzi Shikano's muscle density and bone density had improved to a considerable extent.
He also gave Kano Anzi more tips on the mysteries and asked her to study them.
I have to say that Lei Dianying was really good to her. He actually taught her a lot of martial arts that did not require elemental power.
Only after dealing with Kano Anzi's matter did it come to his turn to instruct Lian Lingyi on the forging of the blade.
"Let me see your forging level." Lei Dianying said to Lian Lingyi.
"Yes!" Ren Lian Lingyi did not use those fancy things he developed himself, but forged according to the methods in "A Rough Explanation of Forging" strictly.
Soon a bladeless sword took shape.
“It looks quite flashy, with lots of flashy techniques… but it doesn’t affect anything,” Lei Dianying commented expressionlessly.
...Ren Lian Lingyi nodded speechlessly. He didn't expect that the other party could still see it even after such a situation.
"Your problem is mostly in your heart."
"Heart?" Ren Lian Lingyi frowned and thought of something.
"I see that you are very serious about forging, but your seriousness seems to be conducting some experiments rather than forging seriously."
"Let me try to readjust my state." Ren Lian Lingyi took a breath and said.
Ren Lian Lingyi adjusted his state. This was a very simple thing for him because this had happened to him before when he was practicing archery.
His pupils dilated and a sense of momentum appeared on Ren Lian Lingyi's body.
The image data analysis thread was pulled to the background as an auxiliary.
Now is the time for idealism.
Under the forging hammer, a silver-shining samurai sword soon appeared in Ren Lian Lingyi's hand.
The hilt and guard are quenched and installed, and the sword rope is wound, all in one go.
As the forging of the knife was completed, information about it also appeared in Ren Lian Lingyi's mind.
[Unnamed Inazuma Katana]
Type: Uchikata (one-handed sword)
Level: Two Star
Level: LV20
Materials: Iron ore, marcasite, amethyst ore, a small amount of rock god power (Mora) and a small amount of inferior ore memory (fine forging miscellaneous ore).
"Not bad." Lei Dianying left a book and these words and disappeared. Ren Lian Lingyi's mouth twitched and he casually named the samurai sword [Silver Light Pill].
This is a weapon he modified by imitating the blueprint of the one-handed sword silver sword in the rough forging solution (Mihuyou, a bunch of lazy dogs, did not design a special low-star weapon for Inazuma, which was really a bummer, so he could only make it up).
After thinking about it, I decided not to rush to take the book left by Lei Dianying.
He rummaged around the room and found a few blank sheets of paper, on which he summarized in detail the drawing specifications, materials and forging techniques of the Silver Light Pills.
Of course, the most important thing is the heart.
Ren Lian Lingyi didn't know what kind of mentality was used to forge more advanced weapons, but the mentality used to forge two-star weapons was very simple. It was a mental state that could allow the energy in the ore and the divine power in Mora to be more deeply integrated.
This in turn creates a stronger attack capability beyond its own material.
Well~ that is to say, if you use a two-star weapon, there will be additional blessings, but this blessing is very small and can be basically ignored. This is why Ren Lian Lingyi didn't notice it before.
Ren Lian Lingyi shook his slightly sore hand and glanced at the data panel. Forging LV3 (8.2/100) was okay, but he had completely mastered the knowledge in the rough explanation of forging.
Then he picked up the book that Lei Dianying left behind (Part 1 of the Detailed Explanation of Forging).
The above details the forging drawings and forging techniques of Inazuma's special two-star weapons, such as the Ashigaru sickle, lower-level samurai katana, and lower-level samurai nodachi.
In addition to these, there are also blueprints and forging techniques for some three-star weapons.
