Chapter 1283: Blacksmith's Insight (5)

Tang Ruan asked softly, "My lord, what about me?"

"You can go eat first and take a bath; I'll come find you afterward."

"Yes, my lord." Tang Ruan obediently left.

Only Ding Dang, her face tense, followed behind Zhao Chi.

She walked while sniffing the scent on her body.

Beneath the fragrance, there was still a faint smell of gunpowder smoke.

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous? I'm here to personally teach you forging."

"Huh? Forging?"

"That's right, what else did you think it was?"

"Oh, hahaha, nothing, nothing, forging is fine, hahaha, I was really nervous for nothing all this time."

Zhao Chi had never deliberately gotten close to her, so she hadn't activated her affection meter for now.

Now that she knew Zhao Chi only wanted to guide her in forging, she really breathed a sigh of relief.

But even if Zhao Chi really wanted her, she would still submit.

And in that little bit of added energy, her affection for Zhao Chi would be activated.

But Zhao Chi really didn't have time right now.

With Gu Qing and the others, there were already quite a few.

In a while he still had to go find Gu Qing and the others, to pass today's energy over.

Once the territory had developed to a certain scale, there might finally be a lot of leisure time.

Not now.

Ding Dang had also joined Zhao Chi's territory very early on.

Her loyalty had long been maxed out.

Her body compatibility and cooperation were both 100%.

Zhao Chi explained every aspect of the body piloting technique to her in detail.

Ding Dang nodded: "Mm, I understand, my lord. Then I'll lie on your bed? Is that appropriate?"

"What's not appropriate about it?"

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid Sister Gu Qing will scold me."

"She won't."

"Oh, but I just worked up some sweat. Don't I need to go wash up?"

"It's fine. You only smell of fragrance to me."

"Hehe, really? Thank you, Darennin Gang, for improving this gene for us. This gene is just too good. When we forge, it can directly cover up those pungent gunpowder smells."

"I just felt the same way, but won't this make it impossible to notice danger in time? Like a fire or something?"

Ding Dang smiled and shook her head: "No, we can still smell changes in scent through the Menyiran Society; it's just that the body fragrance will transform the gunpowder smell into a fragrant one. If there's a fire or other situation, the smell will be different, and we can still notice it right away."

"Understood, that's good. Lie down, let's start right away."

"Okay~"

After several attempts.

Zhao Chi raised Ding Dang's body control to over 80%.

At this level, she could begin forging.

But before that, she needed to first use the Master Blacksmith's Insight.

"Use it now? I'm really a bit reluctant, hehe."

"It's fine, use it. Let this item become your ability."

"Mm, okay."

Ding Dang clicked to use it.

Soon, the Blacksmith's Insight became glowing and translucent.

The light enveloped Ding Dang.

Ding Dang's eyes widened greatly.

Her expression was one of sudden enlightenment, that feeling of epiphany.

"So... that's how it is."

"Exactly, I was saying why that step felt a bit awkward—it actually needs to be done this way."

"Looks like this step is right. My intuition wasn't wrong."

"Oh, right, right, right, this step can still be improved. After improvement, the success rate will definitely get higher."

"Yes, using fire this way really does improve efficiency..."
