Chapter 587. Magic Weapon Refining Task (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
The round-faced young man looked at Mo Fei, full of curiosity to ask, “What task did you claim?”
Mo Fei took out the task jade slip to him, and said, “Here, help elder Cheng refine magic weapons.”
The round-faced young man looked at Mo Fei with a frightened face, “You…You……Who on earth have you offended?”
Mo Fei looked at the round-faced young man, puzzled, “Is there something wrong with my task? I’ve heard that it’s a popular task to refine magic weapons for the elder. If one can get the elder’s favor, one may have a meteoric rise.”
The round-faced young man said with a distorted face, “Yea, you can say that.”
Mo Fei looked at him, “Is this task kind of special?”
The round-faced young man gave a hollow laugh, “In fact, it’s nothing. It’s just that when Elder Cheng was refining magic weapons, his furnace often exploded, and killed one or two.”
Mo Fei, “…”
“Senior brother, I mean, how much would his furnace explode?” Mo Fei asked cautiously.
The round-faced young man looked at Mo Fei, thinking he should give Mo Fei a little confidence, “Probably two or three times a month.”
“Two or three times a month?” Mo Fei raised his voice. Suddenly he had a feeling of collapse, two or three times a month, so at least six times three months?
“Well, six or seven times a month actually.” The round-faced young man was so nervous that he accidentally spoke the truth.
“Six or seven times?” Mo Fei widened his eyes.
The round-faced young man nodded, “Yes! Like six or seven times, but maybe not that many.”
Mo Fei broke down with a bitter face.
The round-faced young man looked at Mo Fei, “Don’t be too nervous, perhaps, after you go, Elder Cheng wouldn’t get his furnace exploded.”
Mo Fei looked at the round-faced young man, eyes wide open, “Is it possible?”
The round-faced young man was not so confident to say, “the possibility is not too big.”
Mo Fei, “…”
“Elder Cheng frequently got his furnace exploded. I guess his talent of magic weapon refining isn’t that good. He better transfer his career and do research on something else.” Muttered Mo Fei.
The round-faced young man looked at Mo Fei with a face of horror and said, “Brother Mo fei, you shouldn’t say such words. If Elder Cheng knows it, you’d be so dead.”
Mo Fei, “…” What a cruel old man! He got poor skills and no one can point it out?
The round-faced young man looked at Mo Fei, “In fact, you don’t have to worry too much, even if he got his furnace exploded, you may not be killed, only injured! If you get half paralyzed, you’ll have a chance to apply for a break.”
Mo Fei, “…” Boy, are you sure this is comforting me?
The round-faced young man then continued, “You can wear more when you go.” Although that might be of no use…
Mo Fei nodded gravely and said, “I know.”
Mo Fei hesitated for a moment and asked, “Well, what do you think of the task of going to Luolei Cliff to collect Luolei stones?”
The round-faced young man looked at Mo Fei and said, “Isn’t this task a.s.signed to a formal disciple? How did you know that?”
Mo Fei raised his eyebrow and asked, “a.s.signed to a formal disciple?”
The round-faced young man nodded, “Yes! This task can be done by both outer and formal disciples, but it is usually done by formal disciples because of the great danger.”
Mo Fei looked at the round-faced young man and asked, “What level are those who claim this task?”
The round-faced young man thought for a moment, “generally speaking, those who are at middle or late stage of human cla.s.s would claim this task. Are you trying to claim it yourself? Better not. You know, divine thunders often strike that place. It’s very dangerous. You’d better help Elder Cheng refine magic weapons. If Elder Cheng suddenly loses interests in it, you may escape from it.”
