"Clang... clang... clang..."
In the cramped little shop, crisp impacts rang out from time to time. Fang Zheng sat at a nearby table, watching Liz swing the hammer in her hand again and again.
Though it was called a blueprint, it was actually completely different from real-world blueprints. That was only natural. Players came here to play a game; making it too hardcore would ruin the fun. If these were professional design drawings, most ordinary people would not understand them at all and would have no idea where to begin.
But games did not need to be so particular. In fact, the entire forging process was quite simple. First, smelt the materials, then activate the blueprint—or rather than a blueprint, it was more like a mold. For example, when a sword blueprint was unfolded, it revealed a 3D sword-shaped groove. The player simply had to place the materials over the groove and hammer them in bit by bit. Once the entire groove had been filled, a sword was complete.
As for its stats, that depended on luck and the bonuses from the materials.
Fang Zheng's blueprints worked the same way. He first drew a 3D line-art design in the system, then "transferred" it onto parchment so it could take shape.
"Done!"
As Lizbeth spoke, she slapped a Greatsword onto the table.
"The stats are pretty good, but... why does this sword look so strange?"
Lizbeth stared at the Greatsword on the counter, her expression puzzled. It was completely different from the weapon she had imagined.
