I want to plunder the heavens

Chapter 136 The Exam Begins

At this time, Xia Chen didn't have time to worry about these things, so he came to the first row of bookshelves in the room, picked up a dozen books, and flipped through them lightly.

Then he suddenly put it down and picked it up again to start the next wave.

Whoa!
Hearing the sound of flipping through the books, one book after another was quickly included in the Tiandao Library.

Sighing while recording, I feel more and more that after the system upgrade, the decision I made at that time was not at fault.

Knowledge makes me happy and makes me grow!
But looking around, Xia Chen found that these books were exactly the same as what the girl at the front desk said, and they were indeed the most basic knowledge of a craftsman.

These include material identification, detailed annotations, attribute classification, and what kind of conflicts will arise between various material combinations.

If it is replaced by normal reciting, it will definitely exhaust people to death, and the brain capacity is not enough at all!

No wonder cultivating to become a weapon refiner would have such an absurdly high status. Just remembering the things in front of you would take most of an ordinary person's life's effort.

"What is he doing!"

Su Fei, who had been waiting for Xia Chen to make a fool of herself, saw that he kept flipping through books and did not observe carefully. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but blinked, with a look of doubt on her face.

"Maybe it's because you haven't found the book you want to read, so don't bother with him!" The middle-aged Uncle Bian turned his head and took a look, then picked up the book casually.

Seeing that Sufei was still in the same place in a daze for a while, she couldn't help being amused, and suddenly handed over a book: "You should read it for a while too! Time is precious, if you can recite one more lesson, you can pass the examination if you don't!"

"En!" Sufei nodded, not saying anything more.

He took the book, sat next to the middle-aged man, and read it carefully.

Who knows that any profession or position requires hard study and polishing.

It is impossible to do it all at once, and the same is true for the refiner.

The sweat in the process is immeasurable!

Casting a good weapon often requires hundreds of materials to match.

Once one mistake is made, it may cause the materials bought with countless gold coins to become waste products in an instant, which shows that there is no carelessness.

Soon, two hours passed.

Xia Chen also just finished reading the last few books, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, we have practiced, otherwise this little arm might be ruined.

"It's no wonder that Wu Hufan from before pretended so much, not to mention anything else, just a craftsman apprentice is so complicated!" Xia Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

I thought the refining tool was easy, just follow the blueprint and add materials step by step.

Only now do I realize that it is not the same thing at all. No matter how strong the hammer is, no matter how well the hammer is swung, if the materials are mixed wrong, I still have to play.

Each material has different origins and properties, and when combined with other materials, it will produce various changes.

If you just follow the drawings, it will definitely be impossible to successfully cast.

Fortunately, I have learned a lot by mistake, otherwise the plan in the future will definitely come to naught.

As soon as she walked out of the room, Sufei suddenly greeted her with a cold and arrogant face.

I saw her standing not far away, saying coldly: "Didn't you expect that this girl will still be here?"

"Oh, does it have anything to do with me whether you're here or not?"

"I'm here, it's funny, I don't care about labor and management!"

Xia Chen looked over speechlessly.

I just want to take the exam as an apprentice refiner, it doesn't matter where you are!

"Hmph, let's keep pretending, you'll cry in a while!" Sufei gritted her teeth.

"The assessment is about to start, you go in quickly!"

Fortunately, Uncle Bian interrupted in time to ease the embarrassing atmosphere.

"Okay!" Xia Chen wanted to be quiet, too lazy to pay attention to this self-righteous woman, and walked into the hall without looking back.

The room was not big, only about tens of square meters, and there were already several people sitting in it, their faces full of nervousness.

After a while, a young man came out from inside with a gloomy expression.

"Brother, how's the situation inside?" Many young masters who took the exam stepped forward to ask.

"Oh, don't mention it! The examiner has changed temporarily, and now this..."

"Forget it, you should go and see for yourself!"

At this time, the young man was in the mood to talk too much, and walked out the door sighing, still muttering: "It's too difficult, I can't do it!"

"Too bad!" Upon hearing the examiner's replacement, the people present lost all confidence in an instant.

I didn't have much confidence before, and now I have even less confidence.

Needless to say after that, everyone who went in was bitter.

In an instant, some candidates did not dare to go in and chose to take small steps on the spot.

It may be that the examiner saw that no one came in all the time, so he got a little impatient to wait, so he stepped out the door and looked around: "Who else can come in for the assessment, old man's time is precious, and there is a lot of money waiting..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly choked up.

"It's you?" Xia Chen froze in place.

Unexpectedly, the so-called examiner was actually an old man who sold fake swords in the lobby.

"Cough, cough, cough!" The old man raised his fist and covered his mouth, pretending to cough deeply.

"Liar?" Xia Chen muttered a few words in a low voice, but the old man still seemed to hear him.

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about? This old man is lying!" The old man stared, as if his pride had been damaged.

"This old man is a seventh-rank craftsman of the Craftsman Guild, Guo Shengping, don't ruin my reputation."

"Seventh grade weapon refiner?" Xia Chen was shocked.

After seeing the bright seven symbols on the old man's chest, he realized that what he said was not in vain.

We already knew that the test for a weapon refiner was not easy, but now that we see a seventh-grade weapon refiner, our feelings are completely different in an instant.

"It's actually a seventh-grade craftsman. Is the assessment so difficult now?" All the candidates were crying.

You must know that in the previous assessment, at most, it was a fourth-grade craftsman.

If you're lucky, you might be able to pass.

Now that he has changed to a seventh-rank craftsman, there is no luck at all.

Everyone murmured secretly, how could Guo Shengping not know, he was a little upset at first, but now is the time to vent his anger.

Who knows that he prefers to go out for training on weekdays, because within the scope of his opinion, only by being exposed to different things can one's own level be improved.

Fortunately, it proved that his idea was not wrong. During these years of traveling, his casting level has finally entered the ranks of the seventh rank.

With the increasing development of the Artifact Refiner's Guild, naturally few people knew of his existence.

Not long after he came back, the bad ruffian personality left by his travels in the rivers and lakes must be hard to change for a while.

That's why there was a stall selling fake swords, but I didn't expect to cheat the money from the son of the deadly enemy Wu Houdong.

For this reason, the latter sued him severely, and the money went into his pocket, so he must not want to take it out again.

After arguing endlessly, the chairman thought that the current assessment was too loose, so he asked Guo Shengping to come to the Artifact Refining Hall as an examiner.

The first is to supervise, and the second is to let him get acquainted with the current Artifact Refiner's Guild.

After all, he hasn't come back in countless ways, and there must be many processes that he is not familiar with.
