Chapter 91 The Future God-Level Blacksmith

As soon as Shen Qiaoqiao said that her talent had been upgraded, everyone gathered around.

Shen Ruying looked at her daughter with surprise and quickly asked:

"How did it suddenly level up? Tell us what happened!"

Lin Xuan subconsciously glanced at the scattered alligator snapping turtle eggshells beside her and murmured:

"Could it be that these alligator snapping turtle eggs have a chance to increase talent levels? That's amazing!"

Li Yuanyuan looked at Shen Qiaoqiao with shining eyes and congratulated her:

"Qiaoqiao, you're so lucky!"

She happily hugged her, but the little girl pushed her away.

"No," Shen Qiaoqiao shook her head in denial, then took a deep breath and explained:

"Simply put, after eating the alligator snapping turtle egg, my strength and constitution attributes increased by more than 7 points, and my talent leveled up."

After saying that, she shrugged, indicating that that was all and that Li Yuanyuan and the others shouldn't overthink it.

Su Jin nodded thoughtfully:

"I see. I knew it. We have a spiritual chef who knows the characteristics of ingredients and an encyclopedia of marine life who knows the characteristics of sea beasts. How could we possibly have missed anything?"

"According to Ru Ying, the sea turtle is only relatively rare compared to us, but in reality, there are many of them in the ocean. They are just ordinary sea creatures, a dinner for higher-level sea creatures."

"How could the egg of an ordinary sea monster have such a powerful effect? ​​It's already considered a high-quality sea monster ingredient because it can increase physical fitness."

His words completely shattered Li Yuanyuan and Lin Xuan's illusions, and they immediately showed a look of disappointment.

Su Jin ignored the two of them; he was more concerned about what changes had occurred in Shen Qiaoqiao's talent.

"Qiaoqiao, tell me, what changes have occurred in your talent? Can the tools you create have an enchanted effect?"

He made a bold guess, and unsurprisingly received a glare from the little girl.

"Uncle, you're really good at making things up! You can't possibly be that good!"

Shen Qiaoqiao muttered something in an annoyed tone, but then her expression gradually became serious.

"In terms of changes, there aren't many, except that we can use more advanced materials, such as steel and wood branches, or the stone slab on the outside of the stone fish."

"If I had upgraded earlier, I could have used the special biological materials from the stonefish to make a grill plate with better heat conductivity and greater durability."

She paused, her lips pursed slightly, and she said with a hint of smugness:

"But the biggest change is that after the upgrade, I have a design blueprint for a special tool in my mind."

"Actually, it's nothing special. It's just a forging hammer, the kind that blacksmiths use to hammer things."

"It's my personal weapon. Holding it increases my strength and physique by 30%, which can directly bring my strength and physique close to breaking through the human limit."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruying and the others all showed expressions of surprise. Didn't that mean that if Shen Qiaoqiao had that forging hammer, she could take on all three of them by herself?

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Jin's eyes, but then a thought struck him, and he asked:

"There should be other functions as well. This is a utility talent, so we can't just transfer it to a combat talent."

Shen Qiaoqiao's eyes widened; this time it was her turn to be surprised.

"Uncle, how did you guess that?"

She nodded, which was a confirmation of Su Jin's statement.

"That's right, there is indeed another function, which can be simply called reforging."

Shen Qiaoqiao organized her thoughts, then held up one finger and gestured in the air to indicate the name:

"When I used to make things, like turning an iron shovel into an iron axe, I was just changing its shape."

"The iron is still the same iron, and the wood is still the same wood. They are stuck together tightly, and I can't separate them completely. Do you understand?"

She paused, and pursed her lips slightly:

"But now that I have the design blueprints for this forging hammer, as long as I build it, I can achieve material recycling."

"I can take existing tools or salvaged equipment and break them down into basic iron blocks, wood, or other materials."

At this point, the little girl casually took the spatula from Li Yuanyuan's hand, her eyes sparkling:

"In the past, I would have simply made it new and continued to use it, but now, as long as I strike it with my hammer, a flash of white light appears, and the harpoon can snap back into a lump of pure iron and a piece of wood handle."

"Moreover, this decomposition is completed instantly, without any effort at all."

The people standing around were stunned.

Li Yuanyuan scratched her head, her mind a little blank:

"Isn't this just a function of a demolition office? It doesn't even sound as powerful as the attribute boosting I got from holding it in my hand earlier."

"What do you know? This is the real divine skill." Su Jin interrupted Li Yuanyuan. After all, he was experienced and could see the value behind this reforging function at a glance.

He walked over to Shen Qiaoqiao, casually ruffled her hair, and said with some excitement:

"The decomposition and purification that Qiaoqiao mentioned is of great significance."

"Think about it, there might be some underwater ruins or shipwrecks in this world, with leftover garbage and abandoned tools inside."

"Many things are unusable because of the mixed materials, but with this function, any scraps we find can be turned into the purest and highest quality raw materials in Qiaoqiao's hands."

He paused, his tone becoming more profound:

"Moreover, this also means that our margin for error has increased."

"If we get our hands on extremely rare materials in the future, what if the crafted items don't suit our needs, or as our levels increase, our old equipment becomes outdated?"

"Qiaoqiao can directly recast it, disassemble the rare materials without any damage, and recreate something even better. It's practically a mobile material refinery."

After listening to Su Jin's analysis, Shen Ruying looked at her daughter with a mixture of relief and heartache:

"Will this kind of reshaping put a lot of strain on your body?"

Shen Qiaoqiao chuckled and patted her chest:

"Mom, it breaks things down very quickly, and it doesn't consume much physical strength."

"However, there's one annoying thing: if I want to build something big using advanced materials in the future, I won't be able to just flash a white light and it'll be ready in an instant like before."

"Poor me, I still have to carry that forging hammer and forge it by hand, one stroke at a time. The higher the grade of the material, the longer it takes."

"That's worth it." Lin Xuan sighed from the side, looking at this fourteen-year-old girl, she was really envious.

"I originally thought you were just a small-time craftsman, but now you're on your way to becoming a master blacksmith. Qiaoqiao, from now on, my laboratory will be entirely dependent on you."

As she spoke, she was already fantasizing about having a perfect laboratory in the future, where even the chairs would be electric wheelchairs so she wouldn't have to walk.

"No problem, as long as you have enough materials, this master will cover it all!"

Shen Qiaoqiao blushed with pride as everyone praised her, her tail practically wagging in the air. Her smugness made everyone laugh.

Su Jin smiled and casually asked:

"Our master, what material do you need for this forging hammer?"

Shen Qiaoqiao waved her hand casually and said lightly:

"It's just a basic forging hammer. It doesn't require any precious materials. It's just a small section of steel or wood and a mere 30 units of iron."

Oh, steel and wood branches and iron...

Wait, 30 units of iron?!
