Chapter 324 Open Book Exam
Chapter 324 Open Book Exam
Ah, this... Let me tell you what kind of anomaly this is? What's the difference between this and the free-point question?
After listening to the test items proposed by the Third Director, Leon couldn't help but scratch the back of his head and said a little shyly:
"Or... you should change the subject."
It is easy to pass this kind of open-book exam, but the other party is the second best abnormal blacksmith in the world after all. When Lord Taurus is promoted to the palace, he will become the best blacksmith. I will definitely ask him to forge for me many times in the future.
However, this third-generation director has a strange temper and attaches great importance to blacksmithing. If he tries to be cunning in this regard and leaves a bad impression on others, it would be a waste of time and effort.
After briefly weighing the pros and cons, Leon suggested sincerely:
"Mr. Sandai, I actually have an abnormal object that can forcibly obtain information. This topic is for me..."
"No need to change, this is it!"
Rejecting Leon's kindness without hesitation, the square-headed old man waved his hand impatiently:
"You think too highly of yourself. This thing is made of the tail and weapon of a true god. In addition, I forged it myself, so it is of a very high status! What can a third-level cleaner like you see?"
"Mr. Third, my abnormality is not low in rank, so it should be possible..."
"Then use it! If you can see the information directly, I'll let you go!"
"..."
This is what you said.
Leon couldn't help but frowned slightly after his well-intentioned reminder was ignored. He then touched the palm-sized crimson fork in his arms, which looked more like a tuning fork than a trident, and read according to the panel that was sticking out:
“The thing you made for me should be called [Dream Invader], which is very similar to the [Holy Spirit Pendant] I had before, and it has the three qualities of holiness, interference, and whispering.
The three corresponding abilities are to cause extra damage to evil, chaotic, and other targets; to temporarily interfere with reality with the power of the dream world; and to cause vibrations in the target's soul through contact."
"Ok?"
After hearing what Leon said, the square-headed old man raised his eyebrows slightly, and commented with a rather surprised look:
"You're quite accurate. You can even see the effect of soul vibration... It seems that this generation of Taurus has taught you very attentively!"
"..."
What does this have to do with whether I was taught attentively or not? I just read it verbatim!
After rolling his eyes in his heart, Leon continued to read faster:
"In order to minimize the impact of replacing the main combat anomaly, you deliberately made the [Dream Invader] maintain similar characteristics to the [Holy Spirit Pendant] during the forging process. However, due to the difference in materials, the effect of the [Dream Invader] is more targeted at the soul rather than the body.
After being identified as a target by the [Dream Invader], once there is some kind of contact with me, whether it is being touched by me, or having a conversation with me, or even just looking at me, the soul will experience a certain degree of shock, and the more contact there is, the greater the shock.
At that time, the [Dream Invader] will be able to borrow the power of the dream world, use the target's vibrating soul as a springboard, and actively erode the target and the real world around the target, achieving a scene that can only appear in dreams.
And if the number of times they come into contact with me is close and frequent enough, or if I spend enough power, I can even summon the power of the Lord of Desire and Dreams, and forcibly drag the target into the dream created by my own desires..."
...No...Aren't you being a little too detailed?
When Leon first started reading the panel, the square-headed old man was only a little surprised, but as Leon talked about the specific abilities of the [Dream Invader], his mouth unconsciously opened wider and wider.
When Leon continued to speed up his speech and explained the effects of [Dream Invader] in detail, and some parts were even more accurate than those of himself, a blacksmith, the square-headed old man could not close his mouth at all.
Damn it, I have seen this generation of Taurus, and their level is just so-so. Even if she came to the dead world in person, she would not be able to judge so accurately if she did not infuse power to activate the anomaly and just relied on experience to guess. So what's wrong with this guy? Could he really judge the anomaly of the true god level?
Under the shocked gaze of the square-headed old man, Leon finished talking about the ability of [Dream Invader], but he was not finished yet. He even raised his hand and pointed at the cauldron that was still bubbling:
"Also, you actually created two anomalies this time. The Dream Invader you just gave me is just an anomaly made from the Dream Lord's weapon. As for the anomaly made from the Goddess of Wealth's tail, it should still be hidden at the bottom of the pot."
"..."
"Also, you actually noticed that I was not here just now and knew that I did not observe your forging process, so you deliberately asked this question. It is because you yourself hate the current blacksmiths and look down on their forging techniques, so you don't really want to guide the younger generation.
The reason why you offered to teach me is mainly because you heard that I was taught by Director Jinniu before, and you wanted to use my inability to answer your questions as a comparison to mock Director Jinniu's level, and prove that you are the real number one blacksmith, and that Your Excellency Jinniu only surpassed you with the blessing of Xinggong..."
"Cough...cough cough cough..."
Fearing that Leon would continue to talk and even mention the color of the underwear he wore when forging, the square-headed old man coughed twice very loudly, and then quickly opened his mouth to stop him:
"That's enough, that's enough, don't say any more, you have passed the test!"
The third-generation director, whose face was red, turned around in a hurry, took a roll of black snake skin out of the pot and threw it to Leon, then tried to explain for himself:
"Um... Actually, I don't mean to steal your things, it's just... just..."
"It was just a joke on us."
The red-haired director next to him took over the conversation at the right time and said with a smile:
“A forger as perceptive as you must have noticed our little trick a long time ago. I guess you have guessed what we were going to do since I deliberately didn’t let Leon talk to you.
You must be angry that we didn't trust you and secretly borrowed your coffin without telling you, so you seized an abnormal object and prepared to play a little joke on us, right?"
"Yes, yes! That's what I mean!"
He hurriedly took the steps handed over by the red-haired director, slid down the stairs, and the relieved square-headed old man confessed awkwardly:
“Well… I’m actually quite willing to give guidance to the younger generation, but I’ve been in a bad mood for the past seven or eight years.
The main reason is that the blacksmithing level of this generation of Taurus is just so-so. I originally wanted to wait until she dies of old age and without the blessing of the Star Palace, and then compete with her soul to prove who is the best blacksmith.
I never thought she would actually go up to sit in the palace, and didn't even give me a chance to compete, so I... um... I felt a little uncomfortable, and wanted to embarrass you a little... ahem... forget it, let's not talk about this for now."
After vaguely passing over this topic, the square-headed old man said to Leon with a red face:
"Well... I happen to have a furnace here. How about you forge the anomaly right here and I can give you some pointers?"
