Old Zhang had been in the Forging Guild for decades; what kind of Genius had he not seen?

But this was the first time he had seen someone who dared to touch a Level 5 weapon blueprint on their first try and achieve a 100% success rate!

This kid was definitely no ordinary person!

Ouyezi remained calm: "Just good luck."

Old Zhang's mouth twitched violently a few times. "This is called good luck?"

This was like Heaven chasing after him, spoon-feeding him!

The two returned to the reception desk on the second floor.

Old Zhang slammed the two swords onto the counter and yelled at the receptionist girl, "Quick! Register this Ouyezi brother! Both of these swords count as his achievements!"

The receptionist girl was startled by Old Zhang's loud voice and quickly took the two longswords, beginning to skillfully check their attributes.

The next second, the hand holding the sword trembled violently, almost dropping it to the ground.

"This... Mr. Ouyezi..." The receptionist girl's voice was a little stuttering, and her gaze towards Ouyezi was filled with disbelief, "Is this your first time forging equipment?"

Ouyezi glanced at her, saying indifferently, "Mm, is there a problem?"

"N-no problem!" The receptionist girl quickly shook her head, her fair cheeks flushed with excitement: "It's just... it's just a bit too astonishing!"

"To forge a Fine Two-star quality on your first attempt at equipment forging! Your Talent... is truly too, too outstanding!"

"What the heck?!"

Before Ouyezi could speak, Old Zhang on the side exploded first, his voice shaking the dust from the ceiling.

"Fine Two-star?! You said these two swords are Fine Two-star?!"

He had been so engrossed in Ouyezi's abnormal success rate that he completely forgot to look closely at the attributes!

Old Zhang snatched one of the longswords and stared at it with wide eyes.

apprentice longsword

Quality: Fine ☆ ☆ (Two-star)

Physical Attack: +35

Strength: +2

Durability: 60/60

"Hiss—!"

Old Zhang gasped, his hand holding the sword trembling slightly.

"Holy crap! It really is Fine Two-star! And... both of them are!"

At this moment, Old Zhang's gaze towards Ouyezi completely changed.

It was no longer the look for a talented newcomer, but like looking at a monster! A Prodigy!

You know, for an ordinary Forger to upgrade common quality equipment to Fine quality, how much time and tempering would that require?

A year or two at the shortest, decades at the longest, ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) or even a lifetime without touching the threshold of Fine quality!

And the success rate was extremely unstable, depending entirely on state, luck, and Materials!

Yet, this excessively young man in front of him not only successfully forged both, but they were also all Fine Two-star!

Is this something a human could do?!

"Brother!" Old Zhang excitedly grabbed Ouyezi's shoulder, his face flushed, "Tell me the truth, are you really C-rank? How could a C-rank be so abnormal?"

The receptionist girl was even more nimble, having already quickly picked up the internal communicator on the counter and swiftly reported the situation to her Supervisor.

The Supervisor immediately stated, "Don't let him leave! I'll be right there!"

After hanging up the call, she looked at Ouyezi, her eyes full of adoring stars, and her voice sweetened by several degrees: "Mr. Ouyezi, please don't leave! Our Supervisor will be here immediately!"

Old Zhang also patted Ouyezi's shoulder meaningfully at this moment, lowering his voice:

"Brother, I understand you! Young people, they want to keep a low profile, I get it!"

"But this is the Forging Guild, where everything speaks through strength! The better you perform, the more the Guild will cherish you and focus on nurturing you. Resource allocation and such are no problem! Hiding your abilities would be a huge loss!"

Even though Ouyezi didn't say anything, Old Zhang was already convinced that Ouyezi in front of him was definitely not as simple as a C-rank Forger.

This Talent, to say he was A-rank would feel like an understatement!

Zhou Huai, controlling Ouyezi, couldn't help but sigh, thinking he had already been very low-key.

He didn't expect that what he considered low-key was still unbelievably high-profile in others' eyes.

Soon, a slightly hurried sound of footsteps approached.

A middle-aged man, dressed impeccably, with a slight potbelly, appearing to be around forty or fifty years old, walked over quickly with a beaming face.

"Hahahaha, who is the astonishing Mr. Ouyezi?" The voice arrived before the person.

Old Zhang saw the person approaching and quickly went to greet him: "Supervisor Shen, you're here! This is Brother Ouyezi!"

The middle-aged man, who was Shen Qiu, the Supervisor of the Tianhai City Forging Guild branch, immediately focused his gaze on Ouyezi.

When he clearly saw Ouyezi's excessively young appearance, a hint of surprise flashed in Shen Qiu's eyes.

But he quickly adjusted, a warm smile spreading across his face, and he actively extended his hand: "Mr. Ouyezi, a pleasure to meet you! I am Shen Qiu, the humble Supervisor of this branch."

"Just now, I heard Xiao Zhang's report, saying that you performed astonishing feats on your first forging attempt. Seeing you today, it's truly a hero emerging in youth, with boundless prospects!"

After some familiar commercial pleasantries, Shen Qiu's gaze finally turned to the two longswords on the counter.

He picked up one of them and examined it carefully.

As time passed, the smile on Shen Qiu's face gradually solidified, replaced by an increasingly strong sense of shock and excitement!

"These two Fine Two-star apprentice longswords, are they truly the first works you forged, Mr. Ouyezi?"

Shen Qiu's voice was a little dry; he even wondered if he had seen incorrectly.

Ouyezi nodded calmly: "Genuine."

Shen Qiu: "..."

He felt his worldview was being unprecedentedly challenged at this moment.

Zhou Huai even wanted to cover his face.

You're a Guild Supervisor, after all.

It's just forging two Fine quality weapons.

Is it necessary to make such a fuss, looking like you've never seen the world?

In fact, what shocked them was not the weapons themselves.

But the Heaven-Defying forging Talent that Ouyezi displayed!

First time forging weapons!

Two successful attempts at once!

And both were Fine Two-star!

Such an achievement, let alone in a small place like Tianhai City, even if placed in the entire Great Xia Country, would be a Prodigy-level existence capable of causing a sensation!

How could this not make Shen Qiu, the branch Supervisor, tremble with excitement!

Shen Qiu took a deep breath, forcibly calmed his turbulent emotions, and then solemnly made a 'please' gesture towards Ouyezi.

"Mr. Ouyezi, there are many people here. Would you mind moving to my office to discuss in detail?"

In an elegant private room.

Shen Qiu personally brewed a pot of fine scented tea for Ouyezi, his expression filled with seriousness and anticipation.

"Mr. Ouyezi, I know my next question might be a bit abrupt."

Shen Qiu paused, organizing his words, "But your Talent is truly too astonishing, it has exceeded my scope of understanding."

"Could you honestly tell me your true Forger rank now?"

Shen Qiu's tone was incredibly sincere: "Don't worry, no matter the outcome, our Guild will strictly keep it confidential for you, and will strive to secure the highest level of treatment and resource support within the Guild's capabilities for you!"

Zhou Huai, controlling Ouyezi, pondered for a moment.

It seemed that this matter couldn't end quietly today.

Well, appropriately revealing some strength could also gain more convenience and resources for future actions.

"Since Supervisor Shen is so sincere, then I won't hide anything."

Ouyezi looked up and calmly uttered a few words: "Actually, I am an S-rank Forger."

He still held back.

The SS-rank unique hidden profession, Myriad Forms Divine Craftsman, if such a trump card were revealed directly, it wouldn't be astonishing, but terrifying.

It might immediately alarm the highest levels of the country, and even military bigwigs would be attracted.

They would guard this Clone like a national treasure twenty-four hours a day.

How would that align with his original intention of causing trouble then?

It would definitely be made public, but not now.

Only after he possessed enough strength to protect himself and overturn the table.

"S-rank?!"

Even though Shen Qiu had already elevated Ouyezi's rank to an absurd degree in his mind, upon hearing these two words, his brain still buzzed, and he almost lost his composure on the spot!

S-rank Forger!

Their small Tianhai City Forging Guild actually had a noble S-rank Forger appear!

This was a colossal piece of news that could shake the entire forging world of the Great Xia Country!

Shen Qiu felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat!

He took several deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the surging excitement and ecstasy within him, trying to keep his voice steady.

"Mr. Ouyezi, it's not that I don't trust you."

"It's just that an S-rank Forger is a matter of great importance. According to the Guild's highest regulations, I must... conduct a final verification again."

Shen Qiu's posture was extremely humble, and his tone even carried a hint of cautious request.

"May I ask if you could forge another piece of equipment on the spot?"

"No matter what level of blueprint you need, or any rare Materials, our Guild can provide them to you unconditionally and for free! As much as you need!"

Ouyezi nodded, indicating understanding: "Yes. In that case, I'll forge a pair of gauntlets."

"Level 5 will be fine."

"Good, good, good!" Shen Qiu was overjoyed at the news, almost jumping out of his chair in excitement, and quickly stood up, saying, "I will personally go and prepare for you right now! Please wait a moment!"

Half an hour later.

Ouyezi once again arrived at the exclusive forging room from before.

At this moment, the forging table was already piled high with various metal Materials and auxiliary components, gleaming with different lusters.

"Good heavens!" Zhou Huai, through Ouyezi's perspective, saw the table full of Materials and was truly startled.

This must be at least ten portions, right?

Is this preparing for me to make several?

Shen Qiu rubbed his hands, smiling with anticipation and flattery: "Mr. Ouyezi, are you satisfied with these Materials? If not enough, I'll immediately have someone retrieve more from the storeroom!"

Ouyezi nodded slightly, calmly saying: "Enough. I'll start now."

"Very well! Very well! We will wait outside for your good news!" Shen Qiu nodded respectfully repeatedly, then carefully exited the forging room, "If you have any needs, you can call me anytime!"

The heavy door of the forging room slowly closed, isolating the inside from the outside.

Inside the room, only Ouyezi remained, along with the mountain of precious Materials.

Zhou Huai, controlling Ouyezi, couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

"Alas, I also want to keep a low profile."

"However, my Talent and strength don't allow it."

However, this time Zhou Huai didn't plan to do it himself.

He silently called out in his mind.

"System, activate Ouyezi's AI core!"
