The sound of the forging hammer striking the materials rang out continuously inside the workshop.
The higher the maximum number of strikes, the better the equipment's attributes would be. This wasn't merely a matter of materials—the blacksmith himself had to put in the effort as well.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
......
After dozens of strikes, the object—made primarily from a Crystal Quartz Ingot and mixed with numerous other materials—hadn't changed much. That alone was enough to prove how powerful a weapon made from these materials would be.

"Hey, you're
