Divine Blacksmith Lou Gao

The fat old man didn't react much after hearing this; he was completely focused on the iron block on the Anvil.

The Iron Hammer in his hand struck the red-hot iron block with lightning speed.

A piece of red-hot Iron Essence, under the forging of the fat old man, became thin and long, eventually turning into a long iron rod.

The fat old man's forging technique was completely efficient; with just a few hammer blows, the hard Iron Essence could be kneaded and shaped like clay at will.

The perfect combination of strength and skill makes the mundane Iron Forging a feast for the eyes.

The fat old man handed the iron bar directly to the Blacksmith who was Iron Forging with him. After taking it, the Blacksmith combined the iron bar with several other iron bars, which vaguely formed a triangular frame.

In the Forging Room, more than fifty Blacksmith work simultaneously, Blacksmith specializing in forging a particular component. Finally, all the forged components are gathered together for connection and assembly.

And what they were assembling was Bicycle.

The fat old man put down his Iron Hammer and looked at the man who had come to deliver the message, saying, "Si Long, tell me quickly, what changes have occurred on the other side?"

The fat old man abandoned his composed attitude during forging and became impatient, his previous Grandmaster style completely gone.

This fat old man was named Lou Gao. Although he was not good-looking, he was one of the only three remaining Godly Blacksmith in the Douluo Continent.

Originally, Lou Gao settled in Gengxin City of the Star Luo Empire, where he studied ironware and metals.

However, a year ago, the Bicycle sold by Quan Yi ended up in Gengxin City, a famous Metal Capital.

The moment Lou Gao saw the Bicycle Bicycle, he saw not only the hope of elevating the Blacksmith's status, but also the Bicycle technology it contained.

Driven by curiosity, Lou Gao immediately ordered his men to find out the origin of the Bicycle. Eventually, they learned that the Bicycle came from Saus City, and Lou Gao immediately led his disciples to investigate.

However, when he learned that there was a powerful force behind the shop, he gave up the idea of rushing in to ask about the technology.

However, with his doubts unresolved, Lou Gao did not choose to leave. Instead, he chose to compete on the same stage and hone his skills.

Si Long replied, "Master, the other side launched a new type of Bicycle with gears today."

Lou Gao's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked excitedly, "Gearbox? How does it change gears? Did you buy one?"

Si Long paused awkwardly for a moment, then replied, "No. I didn't know they were launching new products today, so I couldn't get in line. But I saw them with my own eyes."

As he spoke, Si Long handed the blueprints he had drawn to Lou Gao.

Lou Gao snatched the blueprints and examined them closely.

"They actually have multiple gears of different sizes arranged side by side on the rear wheel, and then you can change the size of the gears by moving the chain. Haha, what a clever design and ingenuity."

The Forgemaster on the other side is definitely skilled, but I have no idea who he is or how I've never seen him before.

I heard they have a powerful family called the Iron Fist Family backing them. If it weren't for the Iron Fist Family, I could definitely have recruited that Blacksmith. What a pity.

Lou Gao, as the president of the Blacksmith Association, dedicated his life to improving the status of Blacksmith. At the same time, as Godly Blacksmith, he was also keen to seek out new technologies.

If it weren't for the existence of the Quan Family, which restricted the Lou Gao and prevented any rash actions, he would have definitely sought out the Blacksmith across the street and used his status and influence among the Blacksmith to take him over.

"However, choosing this time to launch a new product clearly indicates they are aware of our presence. By the way, Si Long, what is the price of this multi-speed Bicycle?"

Si Long replied with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Master, the price of the geared Bicycle is the same as before, 10,000 Gold Soul Coin. Not only that, they also said that they will no longer sell the original Bicycle, but instead will sell the Gear Bicycle, and the rules will remain the same, with a limit of ten bicycles sold per day."

"What!" Lou Gao could no longer contain his astonishment upon hearing this and jumped up. He said incredulously, "How is this possible? How many Forgemaster are there on the other side? My team of more than fifty Forgemaster at the level of Blacksmith or above can barely keep up with the original forging."

The new version is significantly more difficult to forge and requires much more time than the original.

A look of surprise flashed across Lou Gao's eyes. For him, the most difficult part of replicating Bicycle was not the overall strength, but the precision.

The dimensions and sizes of each component must fit perfectly; any slight deviation necessitates discarding the entire component.

Therefore, it requires the concerted efforts of many highly skilled Blacksmith; however, even so, mistakes and time losses are inevitable.

More than fifty people, including him, the Godly Blacksmith, could only forge a dozen or so vehicles a day, no matter how hard they tried.

This efficiency was achieved even without their involvement in metal refining.

The materials, such as Iron Essence, were transported directly from Gengxin City to Saus City, meaning that the actual number of Blacksmith involved was far more than fifty.

Lou Gao was arrogant and his forging team was considered the best in the continent. Now, however, a Blacksmith team that was even stronger than them had suddenly appeared. You can imagine the shock he felt.

Amidst the awe-inspiring Lou Gao, he murmured, "The other side definitely possesses some kind of technology that I am unaware of."

Si Long asked cautiously, "Master, what should we do next? If we don't lower the price, we may lose a lot of customers."

"Then let's lower the price. We lost to them this time." Lou Gao felt a sense of resentment and continued, "However, this is only temporary. Don't be happy for too long."

On the other side, in Yuan Family Blacksmith Shop, located on the edge of the city.

Quan Yi was looking at the report coming from Quan Ying.

At this moment, Blacksmith Yuan, who was sitting to the side, asked, "Young Master, is the person opposite really the Divine Blacksmith Lou Gao?"

A look of admiration flashed in Blacksmith Yuan's eyes. To him, Lou Gao was an idol and also his goal.

Quan Yi laughed and said, "What, is Blacksmith Yuan afraid?"

Blacksmith Yuan also shook his head with a smile and said, "No, even if it were the Godly Blacksmith Lou Gao, he wouldn't stand a chance."

With standardized Production Line and fuel power, their production efficiency and precision are unmatched by purely hand-forged methods.

Therefore, in this regard, Blacksmith Yuan had absolute confidence.

However, this did not affect his continued admiration for Lou Gao, after all, Lou Gao's skills and knowledge were indeed very impressive.

They were also among the first Blacksmith to forge products that came close to their own.

The fact that Bicycle capable of withstanding the power of Soul King, and that it was entirely hand-forged, is enough to prove their capabilities.

However, the technology that Quan Yi possessed was a game-changer for them.

If Lou Gao mistakenly believes that the level he is currently displaying is their limit, then they are being naive.

Before this, Quan Yi was just joking around.

"Godly Blacksmith Lou Gao, I wonder what your next move will be."
