Chapter 7 Calligraphy and Painting Skills
The sun sets in the west, and the shadows of the sycamore trees are stretched out.
In the yard, stones fixed a wooden stake that was thicker than an adult man's arm, then turned and ran away.
"Okay, brother, it's time to start!"
"Yes!" Wei Yi nodded, holding the newly made sword in his hand, and stepped forward.
The aunt and sister on the side were also looking at him expectantly.
He walked up to the wooden stake and without any hesitation, he swung his sword and slashed at the wooden stake diagonally.
Cracking -
accompanied by a crisp sound.
The wooden pile broke in response, and the cross section was very flat, which was enough to show the sharpness of the sword.
In fact, Wei Yi himself had just done some tests.
Such as tapping and listening, bending to test toughness, and chopping wire to test hardness, etc.
You can basically be sure that the performance of the sword you made is very good.
Now the wooden stakes are cut off to give my aunt and sister some intuitive feelings.
As expected, when Wei Yi cut off the wooden stake with one sword, both Wei Xue and Wei Qing were filled with surprise.
His eyes were full of excitement.
In fact, they were already very surprised when they saw Wei Yi actually forging a sword.
They knew Wei Yi very well, but they had never blacksmithed before.
Yesterday was literally the first day he picked up a hammer and struck iron.
In less than two days, a sword was actually forged.
And it's a sword that can easily cut through wooden stakes.
It's incredible.
Although Wei Yi learned to cook last night, he learned it instantly.
But in their opinion, blacksmithing is much more difficult than cooking.
"Brother, you, you are so amazing. How did you do it? You were able to forge a sword so quickly!" Wei Qing was so excited that her beautiful eyes were full of admiration.
"Perhaps this is the innate talent of our Wei family. Moreover, my second uncle works hard every day, and I have learned a lot. I just did
n't want to do it before, and after some exploration yesterday, I found a way. "Wei Yi casually found an excuse to explain.
But at this time, Wei Xue and Wei Qing, who were already dazzled by joy, had no time to think about the reason.
"Yi'er is really amazing. As expected, a smart person can do anything. He can write with a pen or strike with a hammer. Auntie is really proud of you!" Ms. Wei Xue was also very excited and happy.
Although she didn't want Wei Yi to be a blacksmith, she was also reluctant to let him do the heavy work.
But the cruel reality is before them.
When Wei Tieshan was imprisoned, the Wei family basically had no source of income.
Now that Wei Tieshan has not been sentenced, the county government may still need money.
He even owed the two stewards of Wanjiange so much money that he had not paid back.
The Wei family is almost at the end of its rope.
It is said that there are complete eggs under the overturned nest.
If the entire family's life is in question, how can she pamper and protect Wei Yi?
But now, Wei Yi can also forge swords, making this family seem to have hope again.
She could only suffer Wei Yi and rely on him to support the family again.
And although Wei Yi had worked hard these past two days, he seemed to be much stronger than before.
In the past, when he was frail and sick, he was always afraid of overworking himself and hurting his body.
Now it seems that it is exactly what Wei Yi said.
Forging like this is also a kind of exercise, which can actually strengthen your body.
"Aunt, Qing'er, don't worry. Maybe it won't be long before I can make a sword that meets the standards of Wanjiange. Maybe I can also hope to become a ninth-grade swordsmith!" Wei Yi said with a slight smile.
He knew very well that he meant hope to this family.
And hope is the only force that supports the whole family and tides them over.
The sword in his hand can actually be sold in the market.
Even if Wanjiange's sword collection standards are high, there are other sword shops that do.
So now I can completely make money for my family.
In addition to swords, you can also make other iron tools for daily use and sell them in the shop.
Although I don’t make much, I at least have a source of income. "Okay, okay, aunt believes in you. With you in this family, there is no difficulty that we can't overcome!" Aunt's eyes suddenly turned red again, but this time she was happy, not sad.
During this period, the changes in her family made her feel as if a huge mountain was weighing on her.
She could only hold on, feeling helpless and desperate.
But now, Yi'er helps her support the family.
The heavy burden on her shoulders seemed to be relieved a lot, and she felt happy and touched.
"Yi'er, aunt will cook you some more delicious dishes tonight and reward you for your hard work!" Wei Xue had tears in her eyes but a smile on her lips.
"Okay, but I will cook tonight, and you will guide me!" Wei Yi said with a smile.
In order to complete the making of the sword as soon as possible at noon, he did not cook.
The cooking skill only needs 13.1415926% proficiency to advance to the second level.
So he wanted to come to dinner himself so that he could advance his cooking skills.
Then take a look at what level your cooking skills can reach after this advancement.
"Okay, Auntie will buy some meat right now!" Wei Xue said with a smile.
Wei Xue went to the butcher shop, while Wei Yi went back to his room and began to study ink and write.
As he wrote the word "Wei Yi" on the paper, two sets of numbers 17 and 15 appeared one after another in front of his eyes.
"Is this proficiency value related to strokes?" Wei Yi felt that he had discovered the pattern.
So I immediately started writing and wrote a song called "Xia Ke Xing" by Li Bai directly on the paper.
The result was exactly what he had guessed.
Moreover, after writing the song "Xia Ke Xing", his writing skill data finally changed.
Writing skill: Level 2 (still 99.9% proficiency short of upgrade)
This writing upgrade is a bit slow!
Wei Yixin said.
But then I thought about it, maybe it was also because of my writing skills, which were already at the second level.
Therefore, more proficiency values are required for promotion.
"Whatever, the liver is over!"
Wei Yi immediately started writing again, and successively wrote Li Bai's "Dragon Sword Poetry", "White Horse Pian" and other ancient poems.
Although Wei Yi was a science student in his previous life.
But at that time, the university was pursuing a girl who majored in Chinese language and philology.
In order to have something in common with his sister, he taught himself a lot of ancient poetry.
I have a lot of inventory in my mind.
It's a pity that I discovered later that that girl only liked celebrity gossip, makeup and outfits.
However, in Wei Yi's view, no knowledge is learned in vain.
Wouldn't this come in handy now?
Although there are not many Confucian and Taoist practitioners in this world.
But in the Yan Dynasty, there were also many literati.
Good poetry can still be famous all over the world.
It's just that it may not be that easy to gain wealth and status in this world by copying poems.
But Wei Yi always feels that words are powerful.
Although there is no Confucianism or Taoism in this world.
But maybe one day I will turn this writing skill into a magical power.
It can also allow those ancient poems to exert some special power.
Wei Yi imagined this in his heart.
As Wei Yi kept writing, he found that it didn't matter even if the handwriting overlapped each other.
As long as there is ink on paper, your proficiency will continue to increase.
And it doesn't matter if the handwriting is a little sloppy.
So Wei Yi gradually increased his writing speed and kept writing words on the paper.
Later, he simply wrote his own name and kept writing it.
He didn't stop until the entire paper had turned into ink color and there was no more blank space.
Wei Yi looked at his system panel.
Writing skill: Level 2 (still 95% proficiency short of upgrade)
"This speed is not bad, at least it is much easier than blacksmithing!" Wei Yixin said.
