Chapter 1600: Birth of a Forgemaster

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Forging EXP was judged based on the standard of molding, hammering and assembling.

The more complete they were, the more XP there was. If the forging failed, the amount of XP would be very low.

The most crucial step for the success of the forge was the hammering.

A good Blacksmith could do the hammering well and the success rate and chances of having a rare product would be higher. Naturally, the amount of XP would be high too.

If hammering was not done well, the success rate would be low and the XP gained would be low too.

This was also why even after <<REBIRTH>> had started for so long, there were few Forgemasters…

If there was no hammering, this huge obstacle, everyone could just accumulate EXP and become a forgemaster.

.

Everyone was well-versed. They had seen the world too. Although they did not know what the standard of a forgemaster was, they could tell that Choba 345’s hammering was very skilled.

Throughout the hammering process, his rhythm was stable and he used just the right amount of strength.

The time in between each hammer landing by Choba 345 was almost exactly the same and there was no difference between every knock’s strength.

Even Quan Zhen Sect’s players, as non-professionals, could tell how good Choba 345 was.

Maybe it was that they had seen few forgemasters but after playing the game for so long, they had never seen a Blacksmith hammer as well as Choba 345.

…

“F*ck!”

With Choba 345’s high standards, everyone was stunned by him.

They did not think that there was someone so skilled in the backend of their guild… Indeed, Wang Yu would not lay eyes on a normal person.

Actually, even Wang Yu was surprised by Choba 345’s hammering skills.

Wang Yu could hammer like this too but he was a martial artist so controlling his strength and rhythm were the basics of his martial arts. However, as a Blacksmith, Choba 345 could do these too. It was surprising that Blacksmiths themselves also mastered their style of martial arts.

…

As Choba 345 continued to hammer, the large sword on the table changed a bit by bit. From a black piece of metal, some shine slowly appeared and the blade became clearer.

The higher the equipment’s level, the longer it had to be hammered, Normal items only need to be hammered seventeen to eighteen times. But as an ancient weapon, Night Demon Blade obviously could not be made in just a few knocks.

Choba 345’s perfect hits on the large sword lasted for around five to six minutes and his sweat dripping onto the forge table could be heard.

The rest stood aside and did not even dare to breathe loudly. They clenched their fists and stared at the Night Demon Blade.

“Dang!”

After another five whole minutes, a crisp sound came from the forge table and the large sword in Choba 345’s hands emitted a light purple glow.

Hammering! Complete!

“He succeeded!!”

Looking at the Night Demon Blade in his hands, Choba 345 let out a long sigh of relief and quietly wiped off his sweat.

Quan Zhen Sect’s players excitedly clenched their fists tighter.

Lifting the Night Demon Blade up and admiring it once, Choba 345 quickly took out a handguard, shaft and ring from the side and smoothly assembled the Night Dragon Blade.

At the same time, Choba 345 received a notification: Congratulations, you have successfully forged the Night Demon Blade.

Choba 345 glanced at the Night Demon Blade in his hands and emotionally handed it to Old Wang. When he looked at it, its attributes appeared before him.

Night Demon Blade (Unassessed)

…

Experts had an inexplicable love for rare equipment, especially Quan Zhen Sect players who had just witnessed the birth of a God-grade equipment. Looking at Old Wang’s Night Demon Blade, they were extremely curious as they yelled, “What attributes does it have? Hurry show us.”

“Who has an Assessment Scroll? Give me one!” Old Wang replied.

“I have! I have!”

Fearless took out a blue scroll and passed it to him. It was interesting to see that Fearless was quite well-equipped as he had two Assessment Scrolls with him.

Taking the Assessment Scroll, Old Wang hit the Night Demon Blade with it.

“Pah!”

A ray of blue light flashed across and the blackness of the Night Demon Blade slowly dissipated, exposing its true colours.

Although the Night Demon Blade was still completely black, rays of light travelled across it. Other than the magic scripture on its blade, it did not have other patterns but it emitted a strong commanding presence.

As the blue ray disappeared, a purple ray of light seared towards the sky.

Almost at the same time, a gold ray of light rose from Choba 345.

Then, a system notification appeared in the sky.

<System Notification: Player Choba 345 has successfully forged an ancient equipment, Night Demon Blade, and has become the second Forgemaster in <<REBIRTH>>. He has earned the title “Forgemaster”. His glorious work will remain in history forever. >

The announcement appeared three times and Choba 345 just stood there in a daze as everything seemed like a dream.

As a guild-less player, Choba 345 was just a small Blacksmith at a Blacksmith store. Although he was skilled, without a guild to support him, he did not have blueprints and ingredients to feed his EXP so Choba 345 relied on buying high and selling low to sustain his livelihood. As a result, he became poorer as he played.

This was what most random Blacksmiths faced.

They all dreamt of entering a large guild with a high salary but their Blacksmith level could not rise so who would bother giving them any resources? Without resources? Naturally, their Blacksmith level could not compare to others. This was a vicious cycle.

Luckily, Choba 345 was lucky enough to meet Wang Yu who appreciated his talent and pulled him into Quan Zhen Sect which was rich.

With a huge amount of resources, Choba 345’s Blacksmith career improved day after day and finally broke through the bottleneck today to become the second Forgemaster in the entire game. Normal people could never imagine how much sweat and pain he put into this.

Choba 345 was the most grateful to Wang Yu as, without Wang Yu, he would not be who he was today. The next person would be Old Wang as if he did not trust him to forge this ancient blueprint, he would not have the chance to break through this bottleneck.

“Brother Bull… I…”

Turning back to look at Wang Yu and his father, Choba 345 almost teared up.

…

As Choba 345 did not know how to express his gratitude, another commotion rose.

What was the most important thing for players in the game? Equipment!

As the supplier of equipment, skilled Blacksmiths were something every guild needed. A Forgemaster was even rarer than a professional player.

But just then, an unknown player became a Forgemaster… To normal players, this was nothing as they could not afford high-level equipment. But to large guilds, this was a crazy piece of news.

This was a Forgemaster and was also someone unknown so he definitely did not have a guild. They intended to invite him to their guild… Hehehe.

Hence, Choba 345 instantly became a topic of discussion amongst guild leaders.
