While Quan Ying and Yuan Xing discussed the specifics, Quanyi, led by Yuan Fei, toured the interior of the blacksmith shop.
The shop's main hall was filled with various weapons and armor.
Of course, there were also farming tools in some corners, but their number was far less than that of weapons and armor.
In large cities, the demand for weapons and armor was greater than that for farming tools, so they had better sales.
Quanyi approached and carefully observed the quality of these ironwares.
Quanyi didn't know anything about forging, but the Quan Family's basement concealed many weapons and armor.
Comparing the two, the quality was not much different, but it was still not as good as the weapons in the basement.
However, this was because the Quan Family used very precious materials, while the ironwares of the Yuan Family Blacksmith Shop used ordinary materials.
This showed that Yuan Blacksmith was superior in skill.
Then, Quanyi glanced at the price list.
Quanyi sighed, not because it was too expensive, but because it was too cheap.
Weapons of this quality should have been worth a higher price, but this price was basically just covering the cost.
According to the investigation, the Yuan Family stipulated that they only charged 30% profit on top of the cost.
This was a simple and honest idea.
However, the Yuan Family Blacksmith Shop had accumulated a good reputation by adhering to the concept of honest operation.
But as he grew older, Yuan Blacksmith's skills continued to improve, and the quality of his weapons also improved, with ordinary materials blooming with different brilliance in his hands.
In this case, Yuan Blacksmith should have raised the price, but he mistakenly lowered the price further.
When this kind of high-quality and low-priced commodity entered the market, it would definitely be popular at first, but it would also easily be envied by its peers.
The current situation of the Yuan Family took a sharp turn for the worse because it was deliberately suppressed and discredited by its peers.
Yuan Blacksmith's mistake was that he underestimated his skills and also underestimated commercial behavior.
In the cruel commercial world, good quality and good character alone were far from enough.
However, it was precisely this kind of character that made Quanyi feel at ease to cooperate with him.
"Young Master, would you like to visit the forging room in person?"
At this time, Yuan Xing, who had finished signing the contract, also walked to Quanyi's side.
The address to Quanyi unconsciously changed from 'boy' to 'Young Master'.
"Of course, I have long wanted to see Yuan Blacksmith's superb skills."
After this, this would be Quanyi's secret base, so of course he had to visit it carefully.
Led by Yuan Blacksmith, the group passed through the hall and entered the backyard.
As soon as Quanyi stepped into the backyard gate, a heat wave hit his face, and the empty forging room was displayed in front of everyone.
Although there were no customers or blacksmiths, the blacksmith shop's furnace still had flames burning lonely.
The forging room had various forging props, but the entire environment presented an orderly state.
It was completely unmatched with the dirty, messy, and poor impression in Quanyi's mind.
Although it was just a glance, Quanyi could judge the blacksmith's character through the environment.
Yuan Blacksmith walked to the largest worktable inside and introduced it to everyone.
"This is my worktable. I usually work here. Young Master's ironware was also completed here."
It was also the first time for Quanyi to enter the forging room, and he was immediately attracted by the various forging props.
Having your own forging room was a kind of romance.
Quanyi's mood also rose.
"Time is of the essence, Yuan Blacksmith, can you show us your skills?" Quanyi couldn't help but ask Yuan Xing excitedly.
"Of course. Son, help me with the bellows."
This was a great opportunity to show the boss his skills. Yuan Xing called his son to demonstrate their technique together.
"Okay, Dad."
Both of them took off their shirts, exposing their well-built upper bodies.
At the same time, their eyes became extremely serious, just like Quanyi's single-minded focus during training.
"Huff, huff."
Under Yuan Fei's rhythmic control, the flames steadily burned the iron block.
Before long, the iron block was heated red-hot. Yuan Blacksmith, who hadn't moved for a while, suddenly grabbed the iron block with tongs at a certain moment and placed the red-hot iron block on the anvil.
Then, a flash of light passed through his right hand, and a Square Head Hammer appeared in his right hand.
"Clang, clang, clang."
Yuan Blacksmith began to hammer the iron block forcefully.
The hammer that had just appeared was the Quan Family's inherited Martial Soul, the Square Head Hammer.
Under Yuan Blacksmith's superb skills, the irregular iron block slowly began to take shape.
Before long, Yuan Blacksmith stopped hammering, then picked it up with tongs and put it into the water.
"Hiss~."
The high-temperature iron block met the cold water, causing the smithy to be filled with mist.
When the sound completely disappeared, Yuan Blacksmith immediately took out the iron block and showed it to Quanyi.
Seeing the finished product in front of him, Quanyi couldn't help but clap his hands.
"Clap clap clap, miraculous skill! Yuan Blacksmith is fully worthy of the title of Grandmaster."
A sphere, and a very perfect sphere at that.
Yuan Blacksmith had turned an irregular iron block into a perfect sphere in just over ten minutes.
This was also the bullet for the Shotgun that Quanyi had previously commissioned.
Realizing this, Quanyi immediately took out the iron pipe he was carrying and put the iron ball that Yuan Blacksmith had just made into it.
The iron ball slid into the bottom of the iron pipe without any resistance, and the gap between the iron ball and the iron pipe was only a few millimeters.
It should be known that Yuan Blacksmith had no reference at all just now, and forged it entirely by feeling.
Now that this miraculous skill was in Quanyi's hands, Quanyi's dream was no longer a pipe dream.
After witnessing Yuan Blacksmith's skills, Quanyi moved into the blacksmith shop for the next week.
The sound of hammering iron continued from morning to night, every day.
It wasn't until the day before the departure date that the sound of hammering iron in the blacksmith shop completely subsided.
"Young Master, is this kind of ironware really useful?" Yuan Xing asked Quanyi hesitantly.
"Don't worry, I know how to use it, and this thing can only *unleash* its true power in my hands." Quanyi replied confidently.
Quanyi was holding a long piece of ironware in his hand.
One end was thin, the other thick, one end straight, the other irregular.
Yuan Xing had never seen such a strange weapon, and he couldn't imagine what kind of use this weapon could have.
But Quanyi was very satisfied.
He didn't expect to actually replicate his previous life's weapon in this world.
That's right, this ironware was a gun.
This was created by Quanyi based on the Shotgun from his previous life.
Compared to the previous simple iron pipe, this time Quanyi also attached a handle and a gunstock. With these two, Quanyi could more easily offset the recoil of the Rhino's Mark, and even allow people without Soul Power to withstand it.
Moreover, the most important part of this work was that Quanyi also made a simple magazine and connector.
This magazine is located on top. After firing a shot, Quanyi only needs to push the switch to open the entrance between the barrel and the magazine, allowing the bullet to slide naturally into the barrel.
This makes it much easier for Quanyi to fire.
Although only Quanyi can use this gun now, that may not be the case in the future.
In Quanyi's heart, the Ironware Research Institute actually has another name: the Firearms Research Institute.
