This Young Man's Artifact Refining Talent Ranked First in the Country

"Sir, the skill of Mystic Artificer in forging metal materials requires not only having your own hammering rhythm, but also changing your rhythm according to the different properties of the metal. The hammering must match the spiritual rhythm, the quenching must solidify the properties, and during forging, you must concentrate and focus your mind, using your craftsmanship to control the material, integrating your spiritual power into it, and feeling every hammer blow."

"Wrong. You must forge the bones with fire, strike with the heart of the weapon, solidify your will with a hammer, and sharpen it with a blade."

"..."

"Okay, sure!"

"Wrong again. You must connect with the metal's spiritual energy, and your offense and defense must perfectly align with the rhythm and characteristics of the metal."

"Mmm, mmm!"

Cao Jianjun and the other two started forging bullets on the side, while Cao Fengqi casually gave the old man some pointers as he forged.

After his initial surprise, the old man listened attentively, like a grandson.

He found that his nephew's casual advice was like a sudden enlightenment.

It felt like my Ren and Du meridians had been opened up.

It wasn't that he hadn't received guidance. Not only would the director give them pointers from time to time, but the Smelter masters in the armory would also occasionally teach and instruct them.

But he felt that the teachings of these Smelter masters were completely incomparable to his nephew's intuitive understanding.

He suppressed his shock, becoming absorbed in the moment like an obedient student.

Director Chen, who was standing to the side, couldn't feel it, but he was still shocked to see Cao Fengqi forging the level 7 metal in his hands with such precision while instructing Old Cao.

The young man before me is definitely Mystic Artificer Ninth Dan Perfection.

"Crack! Crack!" "Buzz!"

Time passed slowly, and Cao Fengqi assembled all the parts and infused them with 11 level 6 souls.

A complete Vulcan Autocannon was displayed in front of the four.

He couldn't help but laugh when he saw the stats of the level 7 extraordinary machine gun.

As he predicted, he succeeded!

[Vulcan Autocannon: Tier 7]

[Effect 1: Perfect- level machine gun with a range of 5 kilometers. After being loaded with metal bullets, it can reach a maximum speed of 3000 revolutions per minute and can fire continuously for three minutes. After three minutes, it requires a 30-minute cooldown.]

[Effect 2: The metal barrel of the Vulcan Autocannon will inflict powerful armor-piercing and penetration effects on the bullets.]

"It's a success! It really is a success! That's fantastic! Hahaha!"

"Fengqi, you're absolutely amazing."

Looking at the Vulcan Autocannon's attributes from one side, Cao Jianjun couldn't help but shout excitedly.

He picked her up and stroked her with his hands, his face full of excitement.

It really worked!!

"A level 7 Perfect Vulcan Autocannon, it's a success!!"

Director Chen, watching from the side, was also breathing heavily. He looked at Cao Fengqi, then at Cao Jianjun, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Old Cao, where did you find this expert?"

"Haha, didn't you hear my nephew call me grandpa?"

Cao Jianjun raised his head, looked at him, grinned, and laughed loudly, "My own nephew, my own flesh and blood, hahaha."

"Sir, I'll take the remaining souls and these materials with me. I'll study them further when I get back."

Cao Fengqi was also excited and said directly to the old man, "It's getting late, I'll head back now."

"Okay, okay."

Cao Jianjun nodded immediately and looked at Director Chen beside him. "Is it alright for my nephew to take these metals and souls?"

"What problem could there be? You've all brought out the Vulcan Autocannon, so these resources are naturally not an issue."

Director Chen looked intently at Cao Fengqi, then waved his hand and said, "Approved."

"Hehe."

Cao Fengqi smiled.

A huge profit!

Not only did they obtain the metal materials for the Vulcan Autocannon, but they also acquired the Soul.

Having successfully built the Vulcan Autocannon, he was 100% confident of clearing Cangxuan Town.

He now desperately wants to go back.

"Fengzhi, go see your brother off. When he and the others go home later, send a vehicle from the arms factory to take them back."

Cao Jianjun said directly to his son, "Just say it was arranged by Director Chen."

"..."

Cao Fengzhi nodded immediately.

"Old Cao, what the hell kind of luck did you have? How come you have such an awesome nephew? How come I never knew about him before?"

Director Chen watched Cao Fengqi's departing figure and stared at him, questioning him.

"Well, I was lucky."

Cao Jianjun wore a smug look on his face. "My younger brother came from a small town to Tianbei Base City, and our family has just been reunited today."

"Holy crap, didn't you use up all your luck when you got married? You actually managed this? Damn, you're going to strike it rich!"

"If your nephew joins our arsenal, he'll definitely rise to a high-ranking position."

Director Chen was slightly taken aback, then said with a face full of envy.

"My luck has always been better than yours."

Cao Jianjun retorted, a hint of regret in his eyes, "My nephew has already joined the Spark Guild; he won't be joining us."

"Huh? What? You joined the Spark Guild?"

He was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

"Haha, I'm going to show this Vulcan Autocannon to the director now."

Cao Jianjun didn't explain much to him, and walked outside with a look of excitement on his face.

"..."

"This... this is the Transcendent Vulcan Autocannon?"

"This project failed, didn't it? Goodness, Old Cao, you haven't given up yet? Did you come up with this on your own?"

A few minutes later, in a room in the center of the Transcendent Arsenal, a middle-aged man looked at the machine gun in front of him with bright eyes.

Even with their deep-rooted official resources, these extraordinary firearms remained very important to them.

"Chief, this is..."

Cao Jianjun told everything without hiding anything.

"Hiss----"

"To perfect it in just a few hours after only glancing at discarded blueprints? How is that possible?"

"18 years old? Your nephew is only 18 and he's already at the ninth level of the Mystic Artificer? Even if he entered the Lost Land at 15 and obtained the Transcendent Sequence Rune, it would only take him a maximum of 3 years to achieve that?!"

"This... even the most talented and nationally supported Master Wushuang Artifact Refiner, Great Xia four years to reach the perfect 9th level of the Mystic Artificer!!"

"Could it be that he obtained the inheritance of a powerful Artifact Refiner? No, even if he did, it would require absorbing a vast and complex amount of knowledge; it's impossible for him to be this powerful."

"Are there any other great opportunities?"

"Regardless, your nephew's talent in the Artifact Refiner profession is currently number one in the entire country!!"

Director Duan was utterly shocked upon hearing Cao Jiancheng's words.

He personally took charge of creating the Vulcan Autocannon when the bottleneck was reached, but he still couldn't overcome the difficulty.

Now, it has been completed by an 18-year-old boy in just a few hours. This talent is unbelievable.

He looked at Cao Jianjun with burning eyes. "Old Cao, I'm giving you a task: you must invite him to our research institute."

"Director Duan..."

Cao Jianjun paused for a moment, then shook his head. "I'm afraid that won't work. I talked to my nephew, but he said he doesn't like being constrained. Even if he joins Spark, he won't join their core group."

"Is that so? Then let's talk about it later."

Director Duan moment, then patted him on the shoulder, his face beaming with joy, and said, "You deserve immense credit for the successful forging of the Vulcan Autocannon; your contribution will be recorded."

"Let's go test the power of this Vulcan Autocannon and show those guys at the forge what a killer weapon we've developed! Haha!"

"Little brother, you're absolutely amazing! Your forging skills and research capabilities are incredible."

While Cao Jianjun and his group were celebrating, outside the Transcendent Arsenal, Cao Fengzhi looked at him with admiration and spoke.

"So-so."

Cao Fengqi smiled faintly, looked at him curiously, and asked, "Brother, do Director Chen and the old man not get along well?"

"Director Chen? Well, how should I put it? He's a good person in some ways, but the two of them don't get along at all."

Cao Jianjun replied, "My dad and he were classmates. When they were young, they both pursued my mom, and this is how it ended up."

"Oh? Well, the old man is still the most charming."

Cao Fengqi smiled.

"Hehe, I know the reason. I asked my mom."

"My mom said that both my dad and Director Chen were outstanding at the time, and Director Chen was even more handsome, but the reason she chose my dad was because... my mom said my dad was a simp."

"???"

"???"

Cao Fengqi was initially very curious, but now, upon hearing this answer, he was speechless.

Damn it, I shouldn't have asked that question.

"By the way, brother, I didn't see your wife at noon. Are you married?"

He changed the subject.

"Hehe, almost there, you'll lick it soon."

"..."

Cao Fengqi silent.
