Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 52: Another Test
Sun Can: "I heard them say that you... sell swords?"
Shen Jin: “???”
"Why do you come here and start cursing at me?!"
Sun Can: "Uh... then do you make staffs? I actually need some weapons that enhance fire abilities!"
Shen Jin: “???”
"Don't think that just because you helped me twice, I have to be insulted by you!"
Sun Can: "Brother, you must have misunderstood what I meant. I meant that you sell weapons like swords and staffs, don't you..."
"Oh! Are you the sword dealer? I have some swords, but I don't make staffs. How about you?"
"I don't make staffs either... Oh, right! Some of my summons need some melee weapons, preferably daggers. I heard that daggers made of shark skin are more durable, so do you have... a shark dagger?"
Shen Jin's face darkened, "Pang Guang! Get him out!!!"
"Okay~!"
Pang Guang walked in from outside and said angrily: "Mr. Sun, come with me? Obviously our boss doesn't like you!"
In Home No. 1, he is not afraid of Sun Can!
Sun Can: "I can exchange it for some rare energy materials, such as lava wood, flame powder, etc."
"Pang Guang, get out and close the door!"
Pang Guang: (×゜ー゜×)
Pang Guang left in a very embarrassing manner. He was defeated by some materials he had never heard of before he was handsome for 3 seconds. Shen Jin immediately became friendly and said, "Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had such good materials? If you need any weapons, just ask for them. I'm not the kind of profiteer who eats people without leaving any bones. I mainly go for the price-performance route of large quantities and full satisfaction!"
Sun Can looked at Shen Jin's changed expression with a toothache. He just mentioned some stockpiled goods that he had no use for, but he didn't expect Shen Jin to react so strongly. The so-called [Lava Wood] was a by-product of his skill [Power of Magma] which was derived from his skill [Earth Enchantment]. This skill could not only greatly increase his fire ability, but also allow him to bake wood into [Lava Wood]. This thing, he himself... had no use for it!
So usually when his superpowers overflow during battle, he would accidentally burn the surrounding wood into [lava wood], and he would take it away... and hoard it. Anyway, the system said it was an energy product material, so who knows, he might use it someday?
The so-called [Flame Powder] is even more insignificant. After he uses his fire ability to burn the zombies into ashes, there will be flaming powder all over the ground. You must know that his flame is not an ordinary flame, it is a strange fire!
The flame possesses the power of the earth and magma. Once it touches someone, it will be like a cancer attached to their bones and will keep burning until it is reduced to ashes. However... the green, red, and purple hair on the zombies have an inhibitory effect on their flames. If they are not continuously output, their flames will slowly be extinguished.
So [Flame Powder] is actually a powdered material made from his remaining strange fire and ashes. Although he didn't use it himself, Sun Can still chose to... stockpile it!
Who knows when it might come in handy?
Most of the materials Sun Can stockpiled were unused.
So... today, seeing that Shen Jin is a great blacksmith, I decided to scare him with some materials that are basically useless to me. Unexpectedly... the effect is quite good?
"Ahem... You know, my material is very... uh... very rare... rare! Pfft~! Sorry, this is my first time making up a story..." Sun Can thought of his pile of useless [Lava Wood] and [Blaze Powder], and he really couldn't make it up anymore. Shen Jin: (￣m￣)
"Okay, you don't have to say it anymore, I understand. Give me a ton of these two materials for free, and I'll make you equipment!"
"Puff~! Hahaha, okay, hahaha~!" Sun Can really couldn't help it. In fact, he was too lazy to pick up these two materials. He was really embarrassed to directly exchange them for Shen Jin's... powerful and rare equipment!
Shen Jin looked at Sun Can's twitching smile and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Wow! Can you really take out a ton of [Lava Wood] and [Flame Powder]? Good guy! I caught a rich man! Get him!
These two materials are important things in Shen Jin's [Craftsman Soul Module], which can be used as equipment materials and strengthening materials. Mainly these two things, Shen Jin has no idea where to find them, unless he goes to... the Netherworld (Hell) plane. Although Shen Jin already has enough [Obsidian] to build a [Netherworld Portal], he is not going to go, and he doesn't even know how to build a [Netherworld Portal]. Who knows whether the so-called "Netherworld" actually exists?
If it really exists, is it dangerous?
After the portal is opened... can it be closed?
Could there be creatures more powerful than zombies, and then... invade the earth?
Ever since Shen Jin learned through analysis that the existence of the system is to let him save Blue Star and become the savior of Blue Star, his mind has been completely open. When looking at problems, he no longer considers Newton and Franklin. The coffin lids of the two have been smashed anyway, so there is no need to press it. According to the setting in the game world of "Minecraft", the netherworld is a space full of high temperatures, with magma flowing everywhere. Water will completely evaporate when poured out, and all kinds of rare monsters are running everywhere. To obtain [Blaze Powder], you need to kill a monster called [Blaze Man], and it will drop from its body. For [Lava Wood], you need to get a bucket of magma, put a piece of [Log] in the [Pouring Basin], and pour it directly to make [Lava Wood]. Whether it is high-temperature magma or the Blaze Man monster, it sounds scary!
Unless it is absolutely necessary, Shen Jin would never open the [Portal to the Netherworld]!
Of course...it's also possible that there is no "lower world" at all, but there's no way of knowing that.
Now, it is great that Sun Can can bring these two materials. Shen Jin is more determined not to go to the lower world. He must find a way to find all the materials on the Blue Star. Even the Enderman zombies have appeared, so what else is impossible to happen?
etc!
etc!
How did he know that these two materials were called [Lava Wood] and [Blaze Powder]? They were exactly the same as the names in the [Craftsman's Soul Book]! They were exactly the same as the names in the game!
Sun Can, something is wrong!
Shen Jin narrowed his eyes slightly...
Sun Can said to himself: "Actually, I asked you to come here today to make some equipment. My summoned skeletons need some bows and arrows and a small one-handed weapon, preferably a dagger... made of shark skin. At the same time, they also need 10 sets of protective armor, durable! By the way, I heard from people outside that the weapons and armor you made can automatically recover from damage. I also want this kind of material, because I may have to leave Q City for a while..."
"Huh? You're leaving Q City?" Shen Jin was a little surprised. In the few times he had met Sun Can, it seemed that this man had been killing zombies in Q City. Wherever their zombie-killing team passed, they would occasionally see high-level zombies turned into ashes. It was certain that they were killed by Sun Can. How could he be leaving?
“Yes…I’ll be gone for a while, or maybe a very long time.” Sun Can also looked a little melancholy, and I wondered if it was the feeling of leaving his hometown.
"Where to go ? Although I don't want to brag like this, but...if you stay with me in Q City, your development will be better and safer!"
"Let's go to City B! Haha, brother, I appreciate your kindness, but whether it's zombies or humans... the world is so big, there is no place that I, Sun Can, can't go!"
Sun Can stood up!
So heroic!
So majestic!
Shen Jin looked at the face that looked like the template of the protagonist of a Japanese comic and the lines that sounded second-rate. He couldn't help but criticize him, "Well... you are so good... do you also make weapons and armor?"
Sun Can's face changed, and he sat down in an instant, looking obedient,... (⊙＿⊙;)...
"Do……"
"If you want to do it, don't make it so much of a drama for yourself! Just now I heard you say you want to do it for your summons, those skeleton monsters from before, right? They look weak... not as powerful as the Ice and Fire summoned by a summoner here... In addition to the ones for them, is there anything else?"
"Weak? Fine, fine... you say weak, so I'm weak. I'm going to build myself a set of...divine equipment! The kind that can be devastated by a nuclear bomb without any damage! How do you think?!"
Shen Jin pondered for a moment...
"Pang Guang! Please send him away!"
"Here comes the boss!" Pang Guang came in excitedly again, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't be like this! Don't be like this! I'm just talking nonsense, isn't that enough? Damn it! Just get me a set of the best equipment you can make. This trip... is very important to me, and I need to pay you 120% attention to it, so help me once, and it's considered as paying me back for saving you the first time!"
"Pang Guang, go out!" Shen Jin said lightly.
Pang Guang: (°ー°〃)
“Oh my god~!~!”
Since Sun Can has said this, Shen Jin cannot refuse. Whether it is to repay him or for the possibility he suspected, he must make a set of equipment for Sun Can. But before that, he needs to find out how many good materials Sun Can has. "Tell me all the materials you have, I need to see them. By the way, do you have them with you now? Take out a few and have a look first." Shen Jin looked at Sun Can with a "sincere" face, "Okay! I'm..." Sun Can paused for a moment, "Well, you see, I have nothing in my hands and I only carry a small bag. I can't carry much. I found a place outside to store them. You can let your people go with me to get them!"
"Oh... I thought your backpack could hold a lot of things," Shen Jin said meaningfully.
“That’s all, just enough to carry some food.” Sun Can patted the backpack on his back.
Shen Jin couldn't deny it. He took out the [Craftsman's Soul Backpack] and [Traveler's Belt] and handed them to Sun Can, "This is my Craftsman's Soul equipment. It can expand the capacity of your original backpack. The backpack can expand 27 slots, and the belt can expand 9 slots. But it is more convenient to hold this on your waist. Would you like to try it?" Shen Jin said with a smile on his face.
"Expansion? What does that mean?" Sun Can looked confused.
"Oh! I said it wrong. I want you to... obtain a space capacity that can shrink items and put them inside. Every extraordinary person here has one. Try it on and try it on!"
"Really? I was wondering why people here all carry such ugly bags, but it turns out... they are so magical?"
After Sun Can put it on, he was suddenly shocked, "It seems like... I feel something!"
Shen Jin handed Sun Can a sword, "Try to put it in your belt..."
"Um!"
Sun Can took the sword and slapped it on his belt, shrinking directly into the room.
“Hiss! Wow! Too strong, this must be the power of an immortal, right? I’m convinced, Sun Can is convinced today!”
"Ha~! Haha...they're just some little tricks." A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of Shen Jin's mouth.
"With this thing, you can move your materials over!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Sun Can went out to load the materials happily...
After he left, Shen Jin took out something and put it on the table, muttering to himself: "So Sun Can is really the owner of the system, then... why did he deny it, why did he lie to me?"
Shen Jin tapped his fingers lightly on the table, next to which was a pair of [Traveler's Gloves]...
