Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam? - Chapter 200

Chapter 200: Another Bid to Shock the Crowd!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the entire capital, there was not a single seven-star master blacksmith. Even Qin Yue, whose body was halfway in the ground, was only a peak six-star blacksmith.

Therefore, if Wu Mo bought it, he would not be able to activate the Amethyst Boots’ fourth equipment effect for a long time.

Although it had the ability to nullify equipment, the cost of repairing it was not something he could afford at the moment.

Even if he had enough money, it would be hard to find a seven-star master.

Master blacksmiths at that level were often the country’s core assets. They preferred to do research in the research lab or bask in the light of their study.

!!

Once they reached that point, no matter how much money they had, it would just be a worldly possession. They would only pursue power and supreme strength.

If he could break through to the ten-star realm and reach the level of Full Moon, would it not be wonderful to have his name remembered for 100 generations?

In short, the Amethyst Boots might never be repaired.

If he wanted to buy them, he had to focus on the first three effects. He did not need to look at the fourth one.

“Six million three hundred thousand,” the young man sitting next to Qin Yue in the first row said with a smile.

At that moment, the Qin family’s supreme master, Qin Yue, was leaning back in his chair and looking forward with a blank expression.

It was as if nothing could pique his interest.

“How about it? Is there anyone who would like to offer a higher price?”

The young man in light-colored robes looked back at the crowd with contempt as if he did not care about the matter.

Although the people who were provoked by his gaze were angry, they could only swallow their rage and pretend that they did not see anything because of his grandfather.

Peak six stars was a level that they would never be able to reach in their lifetime.

If they were to go against his grandson in front of him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Who knew what kind of connections a peak six-star blacksmith had?

As long as he was willing to spread the word, a large number of six-star cultivators would willingly be hired thugs. They would prepare all the materials and only ask that the master personally worked on the boots.

After all, even a peak six-star cultivator would want to own Legendary-grade equipment.

Hence, the young man dared to provoke them without restraint.

The others could just completely ignore him.

Of course, the price of ¥6,300,000 could not be counted with both hands.

That amount was not something they could achieve through hard work alone, and most of them had a strong background.

The only ones with enough money to continue bidding were the bosses of famous companies in the capital, the major blacksmith families, and the cultivators, as well as blacksmiths, who were at the top of the food chain.

As for Wu Mo, he had worked with Guangli Trading Center’s boss when he was in college. But he had only accumulated more than ¥20,000,000 in dividends.

Someone else would not have possibly earned that much money in the process of studying.

Therefore, Wu Mo became one of the few people in the auction who could continue raising the price.

However, Wu Mo was not in a hurry to do so.

Instead, he was considering his own needs for the Amethyst Boots.

He would probably be living in the fifth Research Department for a while in the future. Since he was not required to fight yet, he had no need for high defense and speed.

That meant, if he bought the boots now, he would not be able to use them for a short period of time. He would only be able to display the boots’ best effect on the battlefield.

To Wu Mo, the most attractive thing about the Legendary Amethyst Boots was its cost-performance ratio.

One should know that a piece of Legendary equipment could only be found by chance and not by searching for it. Even a six-star cultivator would find it hard to gather several pieces.

Moreover, in the Nine Provinces, there was usually a price but no market for it. Often, it would cost more than ¥20,000,000.

The Amethyst Boots were currently priced at around ¥6,000,000, which was already the highest price for ordinary Epic equipment.

The reference provided by the system had dissuaded Wu Mo from repairing the equipment since it told him how difficult it would be to repair the equipment.

So, in his eyes, if he could get the boots for about ¥8,000,000 or less, he would be getting a good bargain. If the price exceeded ¥10,000,000, it would not be worth it.

It was already extremely difficult to repair Epic equipment, and the Amethyst Boots, due to their severe damage, required a seven-star master blacksmith to repair them.

The cost of repairing them would probably be no less than ¥10,000,000 too.

Furthermore, the process of repairing them would be highly difficult, and there was the risk of the equipment being scrapped.

Hence, he set the price threshold at ¥10,000,000.

If the price went over, it would be very irrational of him to buy.

“Six million nine hundred thousand,” the muscular He family patriarch said with an unfriendly expression.

He snorted coldly and looked at the young man with a malicious gaze.

His bid had raised the price of the Amethyst Boots to nearly ¥7,000,000.

Aside from watching the fun, the crowd had no sense of participation, so they could just discuss the recent development.

“As expected of the He family, an old blacksmith family in the capital. Although the patriarch, He Run, is only middle-aged, his forging skills have already reached the six-star realm in just a few years. Under his leadership, the He family’s future is limitless!

Everyone was whispering to each other, and as they spoke, they had a look of amusement on their faces.

“That’s true. He Run isn’t as skilled as Qin Yue, but he’s only middle-aged. He has a lot of time to improve his strength.”

“Not necessarily. The path of forging is the same as the path of cultivating. It all depends on talent and personal comprehension. If you don’t have those things, forget 10 years, it will be difficult to break through a certain realm even if you spend your whole life on it.

The crowd was talking in twos and threes, but at that moment, the sage-like old man was silent. It was as if he had no more money to support his consumption.

“In that case, I’ll follow with ¥7,000,000,” Wu Mo immediately said in a calm tone when he noticed that they did not intend to bid.

He decided to get involved in the mess.

After he said that, the gazes of the people around him gradually changed.

Everyone had already been shocked when Wu Mo bought the graphite powder for ¥4,600,000.

They had originally speculated that Wu Mo might be the son of some aristocratic family. They never thought that he could intervene at this stage of the auction.

The price of ¥7,000,000 was enough to separate the ordinary nobles from the first-class families.

If Wu Mo dared to bid at this time, that meant he definitely had enough money on him!

It also implied that he must have a super-first-class family behind him or even a force related to the mayor’s mansion.

“Gasp, where did this young master come from? He’s so generous and has already bid twice. He’s no ordinary man.”
