Chapter 324: 324 Open-Book Exam

Ah this... let me talk about what kind of anomalous object this is? What is the difference between this and a freebie question?

After hearing the test item proposed by the Third Bureau Chief, Li Ang couldn't help but reach out and scratch the back of his head, slightly shyly:

"How about... you change the topic."

This kind of open-book exam can naturally pass easily, but the other party is the second-best anomalous object blacksmith in the world. After Lord Golden Bull ascends the palace, he will become the best blacksmith. In the future, the number of times he asks him to forge will definitely not be small.

And this Third Bureau Chief has a very strange temper and values forging very much. If he plays tricks in this regard, it would be a bit of a loss if he leaves a bad impression on others.

After briefly weighing the pros and cons, Li Ang suggested sincerely:

"Third Lord, I actually have an anomalous object that can forcibly obtain information. This topic is for me..."

"No need to change, just this one!"

Refusing Li Ang's kindness without hesitation, the square-headed old man waved his hand impatiently:

"You think too highly of yourself. The base material of this thing is the tail and weapon of a True God, plus I forged it personally. The status is very high! What can you see as a Level 3 cleaner?"

"Third Lord, the status of my anomalous object is not low either, it should be able to..."

"Then you use it! If you can directly see the information, then I will count it as you passing!"

"..."

That's what you said.

His kind reminder was ignored, Li Ang couldn't help but frown slightly, then touched the scarlet little fork in his arms that looked more like a tuning fork than a trident, and read according to the panel that popped up:

"The thing you forged for me should be called 【Desire-Dream Invader】, which is very similar to the 【Holy Spirit Pendant】 I possessed before, and possesses three traits: Holy, Interference, and Whisper."

"The three corresponding abilities are causing extra damage to evil, chaotic, and similar targets; briefly interfering with reality with the help of the power of the Dream Realm; and causing the target's soul to vibrate through contact."

"Hmm?"

Hearing Li Ang's words, the square-headed old man's eyebrows raised slightly, and he evaluated with great surprise:

"You see it quite accurately, and you even saw the effect of soul vibration... It seems that the Golden Bull of this generation taught you quite attentively!"

"..."

What does this have to do with whether the teaching is attentive or not? I am purely reading it!

Unable to help rolling his eyes in his heart, Li Ang accelerated his speech and continued to read:

"In order to minimize the impact of changing the main battle anomalous object, you deliberately kept 【Desire-Dream Invader】 close to the characteristics of 【Holy Spirit Pendant】 during the forging process. However, due to the differences between the materials, the effect of 【Desire-Dream Invader】 is more targeted at the soul than the physical body."

"After being identified as a target by 【Desire-Dream Invader】, once there is some kind of contact with me—whether it is being touched by me, having a conversation with me, or even just making eye contact with me—the soul will have a certain degree of vibration, and the more contact, the heavier the vibration."

"At that time, 【Desire-Dream Invader】 can use the power of the Dream Realm to use the target's vibrating soul as a springboard to actively erode the target and the reality around the target, achieving scenes that can only appear in dreams."

"And if the frequency of contact with me is tight and frequent enough, or if I pay enough power, I can even summon the power of the Lord of Desire and Dreams to forcibly drag the target into a dream generated by their own desires..."

No... is this a bit too detailed?

When Li Ang first started reading the panel, the square-headed old man was just a little surprised, but as Li Ang talked about the specific abilities of 【Desire-Dream Invader】, his mouth couldn't help but open wider and wider.

And when Li Ang kept accelerating his speech, explaining the effects of 【Desire-Dream Invader】 clearly, and some parts were even more precise than his own forger, the square-headed old man's mouth was completely unable to close.

"Hell, I've seen the Golden Bull of this generation. Just based on the level, it's just so-so. Even if she came to the Dead Realm in person, without pouring power to activate the anomalous object, just relying on experience to guess, it's impossible to judge so accurately. So what's wrong with this kid? Could it be that he can really judge True God-level anomalous objects?"

Under the square-headed old man's shocked gaze, Li Ang hadn't finished talking about the abilities of 【Desire-Dream Invader】, and even raised his hand, pointing to the big pot that was still bubbling:

"In addition, you actually made two anomalous objects this time. The 【Desire-Dream Invader】 you just gave me is just an anomalous object forged with the weapon of the Lord of Desire and Dreams. As for the anomalous object forged with the tail of the Goddess of Wealth, it should still be hidden at the bottom of the pot."

"..."

"Also, you actually discovered that I wasn't there just now, and knew that I didn't watch your forging process, so you deliberately set this topic. Because you yourself hate the current blacksmiths and look down on their forging techniques, so you didn't really want to guide the younger generation."

"The reason why you would still offer to guide me is mainly because you heard that I was once guided by the Golden Bull Director, and you wanted to use me not being able to answer your topic as a comparison, taking the opportunity to mock the level of the Golden Bull Lord, proving that you are the real first blacksmith, and Lord Golden Bull only surpassed you because of the blessing of the star palace..."

"*Cough... cough, cough, cough... *"

Fearing that Li Ang would continue to speak and even tell the color of the underwear he wore while forging, the Third Bureau Chief coughed very loudly, and then hurriedly stopped him:

"That's enough, that's enough, don't say any more, your test has passed!"

The Third Bureau Chief, whose old face was red, hurriedly turned around, fished a black snake skin from the pot and threw it to Li Ang, and then tried hard to explain for himself:

"That... actually, I don't want to take your things, it's just... it's just..."

"It's just that you are joking with us."

The red-haired Bureau Chief next to her took the conversation at the right time and said with a smile:

"As a blacksmith as keen as you, you must have discovered our little tricks long ago. I guess from the moment I deliberately didn't let Li Ang talk to you, you already guessed what we wanted to do, right?"

"Right, right, right! That's what I mean!"

After hurriedly taking the step down handed by the red-haired Bureau Chief, the square-headed old man, who breathed a sigh of relief, confessed awkwardly:

"That... actually, I am quite willing to guide the younger generation, but my mood has been a bit bad for the past seven or eight years."

"Mainly because the forging level of the Golden Bull of this generation is just so-so. I originally thought that after she died of old age and lost the blessing of the star palace, I would compare with her soul to prove who is the best blacksmith."

"I didn't expect her to ascend the palace, not even giving me a chance to compare, so I... hmm... have been feeling uncomfortable in my heart, thinking about making things difficult for you... *cough, cough*... forget it, let's not talk about this."

After vaguely mixing through this topic, the square-headed old man said to Li Ang with a flushed face:

"That... it just so happens that I have a stove here. Why don't you forge an anomalous object on the spot, and I will give you some good guidance?" ===== CHAPTER 325 =====

"Um... as it happens, I have a furnace right here. How about you forge the anomalous object on the spot, and I'll give you some proper pointers?"
