Douluo: I have a lucky magic dice

Chapter 51: Correction, I am here to apply for the position of blacksmith!
From surprise to habit, and finally to a bit of enjoyment.

This was Jiang Nannan’s mental journey. Mainly, the brother and sister were good-looking, their eating manners were also good, and there was no noise. All you could see was that they were enjoying the food wholeheartedly. It was a wonderful experience, and even Jiang Nannan’s appetite improved a lot.

After lunch, Na'er, who was full and satisfied, finally fell asleep due to exhaustion. Jiang Nannan glanced at Na'er lying on the bed, then looked at Ji Xinghe and said, "You two are both big eaters. The food money for you two alone is a considerable expense. What are you going to do?"

Ji Xinghe smiled and said, "The mountain man has his own clever plan. Do you know the Mountain and River Soul Guidance Instrument Studio in our Beishui Town?"

"Soul Guidance Device?" Jiang Nannan frowned slightly and asked, "With your talent in soul master training, isn't it a waste of time to learn about soul guidance devices?"

Ji Xinghe really wanted to tell Jiang Nannan that he didn't need to learn anything to make a soul guide, but he obviously couldn't say that out loud.

"Of course I'm not going to learn how to make soul guides. I'm going to do odd jobs in forging. With my current strength, it won't be difficult to become a forger. As long as I take time out every day to complete one or two forging tasks, then Na'er and I will have enough food and drink."

"Don't delay your cultivation because of making money. For us soul masters, cultivation is the most fundamental thing." Jiang Nannan couldn't help but persuade him. Ji Xinghe's power was indeed strong. At least she felt that the power of ordinary soul masters might not be Ji Xinghe's opponent. But if his cultivation fell behind, facing the absolute soul power gap, his innate divine power would not be enough.

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Ji Xinghe smiled. After all, he had already acquired the basic knowledge of making and forging soul guides from the Bronze Magic Dice, which meant that he didn't have to waste time learning various materials.

Jiang Nannan looked at the extremely confident Ji Xinghe and knew that this boy had already decided to do this job. She nodded gently and said, "Come on."

The soul guide industry has two major disciplines: forging, design, and production.

Because forging and designing and producing require a great deal of energy, the profession of making soul guides has been subdivided. The soul master responsible for forging metal is called a blacksmith, and the soul master responsible for designing and producing is called a soul engineer.

In Douluo Continent, due to the existence of elemental forces between heaven and earth, the original metal minerals were eroded by the elemental forces. After a long period of accumulation, quantitative changes led to qualitative changes, and hundreds of rare metal minerals containing special elemental properties were born. Humans in ancient times used these special metals to make weapons. Even tens of thousands of years ago, storage soul guides made of rare metals with space attributes appeared. In today's Douluo Continent, rare metal minerals have become strategic materials fought over by all forces.

Ordinary smelting can only obtain the most basic rare metals. After the fourth-level soul guide, these basic rare metals can hardly meet the various stringent requirements for making soul guides. In order to turn these rare metal minerals into high-strength metals that can be used to make soul guides, the ordinary forging industry suddenly stood out from the many low-level industries on the continent.

If a soul master can complete the Hundred Forgings of Metal, he can become a blacksmith. The Hundred Forgings technique can turn an ordinary piece of scrap iron into a piece of Hundred Forgings of Fine Iron that can meet the production requirements of some level five soul guide parts. In the entire Douluo Continent, both military and civilian use, the greatest demand is still for various soul guides below level six. Therefore, this skill alone can guarantee that this blacksmith will have a job in any of the three empires.

When a soul master can complete a thousand forgings, he can be called a forging master. The title of master is not for nothing. The forging master is the target of competition among the military of major empires. It has nothing to do with your cultivation. As long as you have the ability of a thousand forgings, you can live a comfortable life.

Soul forging metal can already meet the production needs of most level 8 and level 9 soul guides. These forgers are called Grand Masters. Grand Masters are already guests of honor in major empires, and Saint Masters who can forge soul forging metal are even more like national treasures. Soul forging metal can be used to make the top level 9 soul guides. Behind a Saint Master, there are bound to be many level 9 soul guides who are kneeling down to lick him. As for Heavenly Forging Metal, it is exclusive to Divine Craftsmen. Heavenly Forging Metal is also known as divine metal with no growth limit. In the past 4,000 years, there have been only a handful of Divine Craftsmen born on the continent. In today's Douluo Continent, even the Haotian Sect, which is jokingly called the strongest forging sect, has not seen a Divine Craftsman for nearly 300 years.

After seeing Jiang Nannan off, Ji Xinghe also went to the street where the Tiandou Chamber of Commerce was located. Although the incident in Qinghefang caused an uproar in Beishui Town, people still had to live their lives and the shops did not close because of this. Soon, Ji Xinghe saw a plaque with a big hammer on it on the corner of the street.

The clanging sounds were endless, and Ji Xinghe could even hear some men shouting from fifty meters away.

"No wonder there is no restaurant on this street."

Ji Xinghe thought to himself that this whole street was almost completely occupied by this soul guide studio. It was not that these soul guides were overbearing, but other shops could not survive next to them. Whether it was forging metal or making soul guides, it was inevitable that a lot of noise would be generated.

"Hello, what do you need little brother?"

As soon as Ji Xinghe arrived at the door of the forging studio, he saw a muscular man walking towards him. If that bulging muscle was in Ji Xinghe's previous life, he would have been a fitness enthusiast for at least seven or eight years.

"I'm here to apply for an apprenticeship."

Ji Xinghe's voice was loud and powerful, and it immediately attracted the attention of several muscular men in the studio.

Several men temporarily put down their work and looked over. If it was an adult applying for a forging apprenticeship to make a living, they would not be surprised, but it was a child coming here, which was a bit surprising.

The sturdy man standing in front of Ji Xinghe showed a look of surprise, "You? Little brother, it's not that I look down on you, but I'm afraid you can't even lift this 20-jin forging hammer."

As he spoke, the old man raised the hammer in his hand, and the muscles were clearly visible when his arm moved.

"Twenty kilograms is too light. Let me try the one that weighs one hundred kilograms."

Ji Xinghe didn't play dumb. He took the 20-jin hammer from the muscular man and threw it up easily. Then he caught it with his hand and said, "By the way, let me correct you. I'm here to apply for the position of blacksmith."
