Chapter 4184: A helpless failure
Translator: 549690339
He held his breath and stared at the iron lump in the pool. After a whole incense’s time, Lin Yi and the king of junk couldn’t help but look at each other, thinking that they had failed. Then, the iron lump finally started to react!
Although his reaction was very slow, to the point that normal people couldn’t detect it, Lin Yi and the king of junk had extremely sharp senses. The king of junk was a professional forger, and sensing changes was one of his basic skills. The metal block started melting like a thousand-year-old ice, and it couldn’t escape their eyes.
“It’s done!” Lin Yi and the king of junk high-fived each other. As long as they could break the ice, the next change would happen.
For more than two months, the king of junk did not just look at this lump of iron. He took advantage of this time to re-study the process of forging and calculate every possible change. He had prepared more than a hundred emergency plans for this. If even this failed, it could only be said that it was fate.
As expected, the king of junk seemed to be at ease during the forging process. Every time there was a sign of an accident, he would immediately suppress it without causing any trouble.
A few days passed in a flash as he waited nervously. Lin Yi’s originally calm mood gradually became uneasy because the final formation was here!
If he succeeded, with all the top-tier materials Lin Yi had thrown in and the king of junk’s blood and sweat, the God-level weapon he would make would be countless, even if it wasn’t unprecedented. Lin Yi’s already strong power would increase by a huge amount!
However, in the midst of this anticipation, the king of junk’s face changed, and so did Lin Yi ‘s. They were stuck at the last step.
“What’s wrong? Is there something you’re missing?” Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask. He was just about to take it out of the furnace when it suddenly got stuck. It was a heart-wrenching feeling.
“Ugh … It’s not really that bad …” Trash King turned his head and smiled bitterly at Lin Yi,””To create a divine weapon, one has to be very particular about the heat control. The temperature and environment must be controlled very precisely in order to successfully create it, but I can’t do it …”
“Ha? You can’t do it?” Lin Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry-what was this guy trying to do, saying that he couldn’t do it at this critical moment?
“Brother Lin, if we fail again this time, the problem will be on me.” The king of junk said in a deep voice, but then he scratched his head in disbelief.”But it’s just the last bit of heat. There has never been a problem before, so why is it not working today? Could it be that my forging skills are really that bad?”
“It’s fine. There won’t be any more problems at this point anyway. If the first time doesn’t work, we’ll try a second time. If the second time doesn’t work, we’ll try a third time. Let’s try more. ” Lin Yi consoled.
The king of junk nodded and continued to try. However, no matter what he did, it would not work. There was always an error. Although it was only a little bit, it seemed to be an insurmountable gap.
At this point, even Lin Yi didn’t know how to comfort him. He could only look at the king of junk in the eyes. The usually confident King of junk started to doubt if his forging skills were really at their limits.
Little did he know that if this matter was known to those Grandmaster blacksmiths, they would probably all cry.
The 10,000-year-old tree crystal, the ancient Pure Land, and other rare natural treasures were all put together. Even the grandmasters found it difficult to control them, and you two newbies actually dared to open the furnace?
He really didn’t know what he was talking about. It would be a miracle if he could form it. In fact, to be able to reach this final step was already considered an unprecedented legend!
However, the two of them didn’t know about this. They thought that it was really just a problem with their skill level. They frowned and didn’t know what to do.
The final step of forming the shape was to rely on the control of the flame to the peak. There were no other shortcuts. Unless he found a ready-made Grandmaster forger to help, otherwise, it was simply impossible. In fact, even ordinary Grandmaster forgers could not do it!
However, there were very few blacksmiths. In the entire North Island, it was hard to find a few other than the king of junk. Moreover, in terms of forging skills, they were probably not even as good as the king of junk. They could not be considered grandmasters at all. What should he do?
Helplessly, Lin Yi could only let the king of junk stay in the cave and continue to try, while he went back to the welcome new pavilion first. After all, he couldn’t just waste time there. Even if he stayed there, he couldn’t help the king.
However, he couldn’t get rid of this problem. Even when Lin Yi was out alone, he couldn’t help but frown.
“Little Junior Brother, what’s wrong with you? Aren’t you happy to be with us?” Shangguan LAN ‘er couldn’t help but pout. She’d been dragging Huang xiaotao to play with Lin Yi these past few days when she had nothing to do, saying that she wanted to help the two develop their relationship and be a competent matchmaker.
Huang xiaotao was also watching Lin Yi carefully from the side, secretly worried. She thought that Lin Yi was annoyed by her frequent visits with Shangguan LAN ‘er.
“No, don’t misunderstand. It has nothing to do with you two.” Lin Yi quickly explained,”actually, I’m just troubled by my own things. I’ve been forging with a friend recently, and we used a lot of natural treasures and energy. I tried everything I could to find the life-form mushroom for this forging, but now I’m just about to succeed, and I’m stuck at the last step. I can’t shape it successfully. I really don’t have any other way.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is. It’s a pity that my grandfather doesn’t know anything about forging. Otherwise, I could ask him to help.” Shangguan LAN ‘er shook her head in regret,””I still need to gather the materials for my weapon and send them to the forgers to forge it. However, the forgers ‘levels aren’t very high, so I don’t think they’ll be of much use …”
Huang xiaotao couldn’t help much with this kind of thing. The only thing she could do was to comfort Lin Yi and tell him not to be anxious.
“There’s no other way. We can only take one step at a time. I’ll let my friend continue to try. I hope it won’t get worse before we find a solution.” Lin Yi said with a bitter smile.
After chatting for a while, they all went their separate ways. Shangguan LAN ‘er received ning Xuefei’s letter and immediately wrote down everything that had happened to Lin Yi during this period of time in detail, even including Lin Yi’s current troubles. (To be continued.) ”
Chapter 1926: Late autumn night
Yutian knew that Lin Yi wasn’t the type to cause trouble-he wouldn’t do it if others didn ‘T. He knew that this wasn’t Lin Yi’s fault.
“This …” Zhang duopan didn’t expect Chen Yutian to be so detailed!
“They kicked the steamed buns and let Bai Weitao pick them up to eat!” Song xiaodao said from the side.
“Is that so?” Chen Yutian turned to Zhang duopan and fan ganhe and asked.
“This …” The two of them knew that it was impossible to lie with so many students watching. They could only stammer and not dare to admit it.
“You’re wasting food and causing trouble in the canteen. Each of you will have four points deducted!” With that, Yutian turned and left.
“Ah?” Fan ganhe and Zhang duopan felt a burst of regret. If they had known, they wouldn’t have explained. This explanation was good, and two more points were deducted. What the hell was this!
“Ha!” Weitao found it weird that Yutian was siding with him, but he was the victim anyway, so he didn’t think too much about it and laughed out loud,”Justice is in the hearts of the people. Some people lift a stone and smash their own feet!”
“Hmph! We’ll see the real deal at the freshmen party!” Zhang duopan pulled fan ganhe and the two of them left a harsh sentence before leaving quickly. They could not afford to lose this face.
“Big brother Lin, you’re so cool!” After Zhang duopan and fan ganhe left, Bai Weitao patted Lin Yi’s shoulder and said excitedly.
“Let’s go and eat. ” Lin Yi smiled.
Xinyan, who was sitting at a table not too far away, saw what happened as well, and couldn’t help but smile. This Lin Yi really was a violent man, wasn’t he?
At another table not too far away, he meiyue looked at Zhang duopan with some disappointment. In the past, she thought that Zhang duopan was a decent person. Although she didn’t have a good impression of him, she didn’t have any bad feelings either. However, what he did today was simply disgusting.
Although Bai Weitao’s previous performance was a little cowardly, he meiyue didn’t think so. Fan ganhe was an elite student, and ordinary students were no match for him. Bai Weitao was simply asking for a beating.
As for Lin Yi, he meiyue shook her head. You really couldn’t judge a book by its cover. He looked so gentle, but he was so violent. Of course, he meiyue didn’t care what Lin Yi thought. Although he didn’t admit to his relationship with Wang Xinyan, she could tell that their relationship wasn’t normal from the way he sat with Wang Xinyan.
Although the conflict was intense, it subsided quickly. Everyone was hungry, and this was the Army. There were very strict rules, so everyone found a place to eat. However, what happened just now made people relish it.
After the meal, the students all returned to their barracks. At Sixo’ clock sharp, they all gathered in front of their respective barracks!
After the medical department gathered, Chen Yutian quickly appeared in front of them.
“Reporting to the instructor, the medical department has assembled. I am the class monitor, Bai Weitao. Please give me your instructions!” Bai Weitao stepped out and said.
“Very good, Bai Weito, return to the team!” Yutian nodded, satisfied.”Tomorrow will be the start of your official military training. From the first to the third day, you will be training in marching, marching, and formation. The fourth to the sixth days will be military boxing training. The seventh to the eighth days will be field training. After the eighth day, you will be competing in formation, military boxing, and free-for-all combat. The winning class and individual will be awarded five to ten points, respectively!”
“Whoosh! Whoosh!” No one had expected that in addition to the normal academic credits, there would also be credits awarded during the military training. It was quite a lot, about five to ten points!
“Don’t be happy too early. Only the top three of each competition will be rewarded with credits, whether as a group or as an individual.” “Field training is based on the faculty, but the first three groups to return will also get two credits each!” Yutian said faintly.
University credits were both difficult and easy to obtain. It was easy to obtain the credits for many elective courses such as etiquette and social interaction. However, there were times when they were still short of credits before graduation. It was difficult to choose courses that they had never taken before, especially for students who chose to have a double degree. Credits were even more important.
Therefore, no one would mind getting more credits at this time.
After Yutian finished, he led the class to the camp and did a few simple exercises like “at ease,””attention,””turn left,””turn right,” etc. They were all taught in middle school PE. It wasn’t difficult and was just a warm-up.
Then, Yutian led the group for a jog around the barracks before dismissing them.
Even though the first day’s training wasn’t much, it was still a little too much for the students. They fell on their beds after returning to the barracks.
Right-hand Panhu, the yellow-haired guy, and the purple-haired guy lived on the other side of the bed. These three people were different and didn’t look easy to get along with. Therefore, the students in the class didn’t take the initiative to provoke them, and the three of them didn’t bother to talk to others.
On the other side of the bed were Lin Yi and Wang Xinyan. Wang Xinyan was lying quietly beside Lin Yi, and although she was wearing clothes, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.
“Rest early, you have to wake up at six in the morning.” Lin Yi said to Xinyan after checking the time.
“En …” Wang Xinyan sneaked a glance at the calm Lin Yi, and she couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. This was her first time sleeping with a guy, and even though they were wearing clothes and they were in the special circumstances of military training, Wang Xinyan’s breathing was still a little rushed.
It was fine when the lights were on, but now that there was no power, she was a little nervous.
“What are you thinking about, with your eyes wide open?” Lin Yi asked with a smile after a while, seeing that Xinyan wasn’t asleep yet.
“Ah? You can see me?” Xinyan was a little surprised-there was no light in the room, and it was dark outside the window. The only light came in through the window, but it was so weak that she couldn’t see what was going on inside.
“Your eyes were so bright, I saw it.” Lin Yi couldn’t help but tease.
Xinyan pursed her lips, not knowing what to say. After a long while, she hmphed.”Nonsense. I’m not a Wolf.”
“Ha … Go to sleep.” With that, Lin Yi closed his eyes.
Xinyan waited for a while, and when Lin Yi stopped talking, she fell asleep as well.
The late autumn night was very cold. Although everyone was wearing thick camouflage clothes, they were not covered with blankets, so it was still a little cold …
