Supreme Crazy Wife - Chapter 1019
Chapter 1019: Black-Bellied Old Man Zao (3)
“This woman is really shameless! She actually dares to participate in the competition,” Cui Zhu said with disdain.
“Tsk, how can such a woman have the face!” Lü Tao said bluntly, her tone filled with disdain.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the pale and weak Ruhua in the middle of the arena and knew that this was the aftereffect of excessive indulgence. However, because she had taken the aphrodisiac and indulged too much, the damage to her body was very great. Unfortunately, this woman only wanted to get what she wanted by unscrupulous means. She didn’t think so much.
Following the host’s order, all the blacksmiths lit the fire together. After warming up, they prepared to officially start refining.
From the third round of the competition, there were no rules regarding the level of the equipment. However, the competition still stipulated that one had to refine an attack, defense, and spatial equipment. Today’s competition was about attack equipment.
From the third round of the competition, it was a test of the current true level of the artifact masters. Therefore, the artifact masters would all use their special skills. Therefore, the competition was exceptionally intense.
The equipment that the disheveled old man chose to refine was a hidden weapon. Hidden weapons were also considered offensive equipment. However, they were considered unpopular among offensive equipment. After all, there were not many blacksmiths who could refine hidden weapons. Moreover, the steps to refining hidden weapons were very complicated. If one was not familiar with the refinement technique, it was hard to say if they could complete the equipment within the stipulated time.
However, it might be troublesome for others to refine hidden weapons, but it was very easy for Old Man Zao. After all, he had been interested in hidden weapons since he was in the Boundless Heaven Continent and had always studied them. It could be said that he was quite confident in his proficiency and success rate in refining hidden weapons.
Leng Xiaoyu had also said that if he could refine a set of Sacred Artifact hidden weapons during the competition, his chances of winning would be at least 80%.
In order to win the championship, he decided to refine hidden weapons.
…
After the Old Man Zao warmed up the furnace, he calmly placed the materials he had prepared beforehand into the furnace and waited patiently.
Refining weapons was actually a rather boring and complicated job, especially when it came to materials that were abnormally hard and took a long time to melt. If the artificer’s patience was not enough, it was very likely that all his previous efforts would be wasted. And even if he was lucky enough to refine the equipment he wanted, the quality would probably not be satisfactory.
However, Old Man Zao had lived for so many years, and what he did not lack the least was patience. In addition, he did not have to worry about materials now, so he focused on refining weapons. Other than occasionally arguing with the old man and the others, he would stay in his refining room as long as he had nothing to do!
Time passed. Soon, an hour had passed.
Some of the artificers had already finished refining their equipment, but the materials in Old Man Zao’s furnace had not completely melted, which attracted the interest of many people.
Many of the materials used by Old Man Zao this time were things that they did not recognize. This also made many weapon refiners feel a little incredulous.
After all, what were the artificers most familiar with? Of course, it was all kinds of ores and materials!
However, now that something they didn’t know had appeared, their pride couldn’t help but suffer a blow. Therefore, more and more artificers who had finished refining their equipment turned their gazes to Old Man Zao.
After the first two rounds of competition, there were only about 600 artificers participating in the third round of competition. Now, more than half of the artificers’ gazes were on Old Man Zao. However, Old Man Zao, who felt everyone’s attention, was still calm and focused on the materials that had not completely melted in the furnace. He did not show any signs of panic.
Another hour passed.
The materials in Old Man Zao’s furnace were still slowly melting, but he not show any signs of anger.
On the other hand, the artificers who had been staring at him broke out in cold sweat. Some of them even muttered to themselves, Could it be that this old man wants to give up?
One had to know that there was a time limit for the Artificer competition. Other than the first two matches, the remaining three matches were all set to three hours. Now, two hours had passed, but Old Man Zao’s materials had not completely melted. However, Old Man Zao looked calm and collected. It was unknown if he really had that confidence or if he was pretending to show it to others.
Half an hour later, the materials used by Old Man Zao finally completely melted. After being purified, Old Man Zao began to shape the equipment according to the shape he had thought of beforehand…
At this moment, there were only more than 10 minutes left until the end of the entire competition. Other than Old Man Zao, all the artificers had already completed their refinement. Therefore, all the artificers, judges, and the audience turned their gazes to Old Man Zao…
At this moment, everyone had different thoughts. Some were gloating, some wanted to watch a good show, and of course, some felt sorry for the old man…
“Miss, what does Old Man Zao want to refine? Is there time?” Lü Tao asked curiously.
“Hidden weapon, don’t worry! He’s confident,” Leng Ruoxue said calmly and couldn’t help but secretly laugh in her heart. Old Man Zao was really too bad. He could have completed it long ago, but he had to wait until the last moment. He would disappoint many people!
“Yes, yes.” Lü Tao nodded. She was never worried about the people around Miss. Those people were all two-faced!
Compared to Leng Ruoxue and the others’ calmness, President Lu, who was at the judging panel, broke out in cold sweat. He even wanted to cry. Boohoo… He didn’t know what this Old Man was refining. It had been so long, why wasn’t it done yet?
After the first two matches, he could tell that Mo Yan and Liu Feng both thought very highly of this old man. However, if this old man couldn’t complete his equipment in this match, the consequences would be unimaginable! Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but steal a glance at Yin Rumei, who was gloating…
In today’s competition, only Vice President Yin had come. Mo Yan and Sir Liu Feng actually couldn’t come at the same time. Even though he was a little curious, he didn’t dare to ask about it.
