Chapter 2

“????”

“A Forging Master?”

Linglong looked puzzled. That shouldn’t be. The light emitted by the Awakening Stone this time was much stronger than when she was an Awakened Mage. The person she awakened was actually only a Normal Class, a Forging Master?

On the other hand, Principal Long Teng’s face was filled with disappointment. Aren’t forging masters just blacksmiths? They can’t be more ordinary than ordinary Support Class!

Although the weapons and equipment forged by blacksmiths were very popular in this world and could often be sold for a high price or even an astronomical price, becoming a blacksmith often meant that one was not fated to fight or take risks. A blacksmith only needed to stay in the city and help the awakened ones forge weapons and equipment.

As for materials? If an Awakened wanted to forge high-level weapons and equipment, he would naturally bring along high-level materials with him. Low-level materials could be bought in the trading market.

According to the statistics, eight out of 10 blacksmiths would never leave the city to face ferocious demons in their lives. This was because they did not have much combat strength to begin with and were very weak. As expected, when Long Teng used his principal’s privilege to open the game interface of Su Meng to check the data, he was completely speechless.

[Su Meng]

[Level 1: Blacksmith]

[Stats]

Strength: 8

[Agility]: 6

Spirit: 10

A Level 1 Awakened had a baseline of 10 for three-dimensional attributes. For Su Meng, it could be said that he had only one attribute, Spirit, which had reached the standard, and the remaining Strength and Agility had not reached the standard. In particular, his Agility was only above the passing mark. He was a weak chicken! To think that he was filled with anticipation for a genius like Su Meng.

“Hahaha, what did I say?”

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

The silent square was broken by a burst of mocking laughter. The person who laughed was none other than Xiao Shui, a classmate of Su Meng. Xiao Shui’s academic results were not bad, but unfortunately, his results in all subjects were inferior to Su Meng’s all year round. He was the eternal second in Class One.

Xiao Shui had been unconvinced by Su Meng for a long time. This time, when he saw that the person everyone was looking forward to awakening was actually an ordinary Support Class Blacksmith, he naturally could not help but mock him.

Xiao Shui did not care about the gazes of others. After all, he was the young master of the Xiao family in Dragon City! The students below the stage looked at Su Meng sympathetically.

The most famous genius of their batch had actually awakened a Support Class Blacksmith. This was simply a cruel joke from the heavens!

However, Su Meng did not care about this. His expression was even filled with joy. Only he knew that just when his hand touched the Awakening Stone, at the same time, a voice sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations, host. Awakened Hidden Class: Artifact Spirit Blacksmith!]

Artifact Spirit Blacksmith? Or a Hidden Class? No matter which information it was, it was enough to make Su Meng excited. He never expected that he would awaken a Hidden Class!

In this world, I’ve only heard of Rare Classes, but I’ve never heard of Hidden Classes. In that case, wouldn’t I be the only Hidden Class in this world? Thinking of this, he became even more excited!

Most importantly, the voice in his mind did not seem to be the voice of the game, but—the voice of the system. Had his transmigration benefits finally been delivered?

Through checking the information of the [Artifact Spirit Blacksmith], Su Meng was shocked to discover that as a blacksmith, he could actually forge all the weapons and equipment into artifact spirits! Moreover, they were not ordinary artifact spirits. The weapons that were forged: the Saber Maiden, Sword Maiden, and Mechanical Maiden had all turned into humans!

“Why does he look so happy?”

The students below the stage were surprised and puzzled when they saw Su Meng’s happy expression.

“Perhaps he’s possessed because he momentarily is unable to accept reality?”

Some students thought that Su Meng could not accept the cruel reality.

“Ahem, student, you can go down now.”

Long Teng coughed dryly and said in extreme disappointment. Only then did Su Meng come back to his senses and walk down from the podium. Along the way, he received the sympathetic gazes of many students.

Su Meng naturally did not care at all. Only he knew that he had awakened the only Hidden Class in the world: Artifact Spirit Blacksmith!

“Su Meng, you have to be strong. After all, you awakened a Support Class, unlike me, who awakened a Life-type Class.”

“A breeder! I’m probably going to raise small animals in the future!”

Although Zhang Xueyou was not in a good mood, they were roommates. He could not help but comfort Su Meng. When Su Meng heard this, he only smiled and did not say anything.

Half a day later, the awakening ended. Many students had awakened Powerful Classes, and one of them had even awakened a Rare Class! It had been three years, and someone had finally awakened a Rare Class. Principal Long Teng was naturally moved to tears!

However, this had nothing to do with Su Meng. All he wanted to do now was to go to the trading market as soon as possible and buy some forging materials. Then he would return to the dormitory and forge his first weapon.

No, it was the first artifact woman! During the three years he was in the academy, Su Meng had been working part-time and accumulating some savings. Although this bit of savings was nothing to the rich young master and was not even enough to buy a magic crystal, he could still afford some ordinary forging materials.

The first weapon that Su Meng planned to forge was a Tang Saber.The materials needed were very simple, only the most ordinary iron ore will do.

According to the blueprint given by the system, 10 iron ore was needed to forge the Tang Saber. Of course, the higher the quality of the iron ore, the better the quality of the Tang Saber.

Su Meng had originally planned to only use Normal iron ore. But after thinking about it, it would be the first weapon he forged, no, the first Artifact Maiden. It would be a commemorative object.

After some thought, Su Meng finally decided to buy purple iron ore. Purple iron ore was a rare iron ore, and its price was five times that of ordinary iron ore. In fact, it was just a special oxidized iron ore. Purchasing 10 purple iron ore had almost exhausted all the savings of Su Meng.

Su Meng did not care at all because he had a feeling that when he had forged the first artifact spirit, he would not have to worry about money in the future!

When he returned to the dormitory, his roommate had yet to return. Coincidentally, Su Meng could use this time to forge an artifact spirit. Different from the real world, the forging of the Tang Saber was completed in the game interface.

Su Meng only needed to submit the blueprint to the game and put the corresponding materials into a huge forging furnace on the forging interface. Then, just press the [Forging] button and wait for a moment.

It was precisely because there was no need to do some physical work to temper iron that the blacksmiths in this world were so weak. Unlike in the real world, blacksmiths were all muscular men!

In a moment, the forging was completed. With a flash of purple light, a young girl appeared in front of Su Meng. The young girl was about 16 or 17 years old. She was dressed in purple traditional Chinese clothes that outlined her perfect figure, mysterious and stunning. The young girl’s skin was white as snow, her flesh was like ice, and her bones were like jade. She was peerless, but there was no emotion on her face. She was as cold as the Tang Saber that laid silent at the bottom of the ice lake!

The Tang Saber hung quietly at her waist. It was the one forged by Su Meng. For a moment, Su Meng could not look away. The cool and elegant girl in purple-robe in front of him was so beautiful!

At this moment, words appeared to be somewhat weak! Su Meng had always thought that their Xiao Yan’er was beautiful. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Xiao family and had a very elegant temperament.

But compared to the purple-robed girl, she was simply far inferior! Was this the legendary Artifact Maiden?
