Talent With Extraordinary Potential! You Call This A Repair?
Zhou Zhou found the gnome which looked similar to Ashburn with a white robe.
That gnome was studying Zhou Zhou and the territory behind him curiously.
“Greetings, my Lord!” The gnome retracted his gaze and said respectfully.
His voice was tender, revealing that he was a young gnome.
“Hi, I heard that you want to join my territory?” Zhou Zhou asked curiously.
“Yes. I’ve just finished my apprenticeship. I originally wanted to stay in the Aurora Kingdom and appreciate the local customs around me while looking for a Lord worthy for me to submit to.”
“I heard that you conquered a Foreign Lord territory and a Scarlet Lord’s territory in just three days upon arriving in the High Continent.”
“In the eyes of many living beings — including myself and my teacher — this is extremely unbelievable but it’s precisely because of this that my Lord’s strength and potential shines!”
“That’s why I came to see my Lord. If possible, I want to submit myself to my Lord! I wonder if my Lord is willing to accept a newly minted blacksmith like me?” Carter Jim asked expectantly.
A line of text appeared.
[Carter Jim requests to join your territory and become your subject. Do you agree?]
Blacksmith?
Zhou Zhou was stunned but delighted.
Coincidentally, the soldiers had been fighting non-stop recently, and many of their armor and weapons were damaged.
They could only continue using the damaged armor and weapons because there were no blacksmiths.
That solved everything!
The damaged weapons and armor could be repaired with this new gnome blacksmith!
“Welcome to Blazing Sun City!” Zhou Zhou agreed readily.
After calming down, he looked at the other party’s delicate figure and suddenly hesitated.
This size… No matter how he looked at him, he did not seem to be the size of a blacksmith.
He looked at the other party, and his message appeared in his eyes.
[Subject: Carter Kim]
[Territory: Blazing Sun City]
[Life Profession: Blacksmith]
[Professional Class: Yellow Gold-Tier Advance Grade]

[Loyalty: 88]
[Potential: Extraordinary-Tier Intermediate Grade]
Zhou Zhou was pleasantly surprised.
He did not expect this young gnome’s potential to be Extraordinary-Tier Intermediate Grade! even though he was currently inferior to Elder Zhao.
This was a future Extraordinary-Tier Blacksmith!
Moreover, Zhou Zhou was very satisfied with the other party’s skills.
They were all forging skills related to military equipment!
To any Lord, a blacksmith with so many standard equipment forging skills was undoubtedly the most practical!
Moreover, the other party had his own talent and bloodline.
As expected of a talent attracted by Reputation Rating!
“My Lord, do we have a blacksmith shop in our territory?” Carter Kim asked curiously.
“Not at the moment, but you can have it tomorrow if you want one.” Zhou Zhou smiled.
He then called over a soldier and asked him to bring Zhao Changshou and Elder Zhao over.
Zhao Changshou came over in no time. “My Lord. You were looking for me?” He asked.
Zhou Zhou was about to speak when a surprised voice sounded from the other side.
“Teacher Zhao, you’re here too?!” Carter Kim looked at Zhao Changshou in surprise.
Zhou Zhou was stunned.
Zhao Changshou’s gaze also fell on him. Then, he said in surprise, “Little Carter? Shouldn’t you be at Master Gibbon’s place? Why are you here?”
“I’ve finished my apprenticeship!” Carter Jim said shyly.
“Not bad. You didn’t let your teacher down to be able to graduate at such a young age. Oh yes. How’s your teacher doing?” Zhao Changshou clicked his tongue in wonder.
“Teacher has been in good health recently. Just that she talks about you all day long.” Carter Jim said politely.
“I’ll visit her when I’m free.” Zhao Changshou smiled.
“So you know each other.” Zhou Zhou said in surprise.
“This little guy’s teacher and I are good friends in the Aurora Kingdom. I designed her residence myself. We became even closer after we retired because we see each other a lot. So I got to know her precious disciple.” Zhao Changshou smiled.
Zhou Zhou nodded and then became thoughtful.
It seemed that the Aurora Kingdom was very close to his territory.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so coincidental that both of the Legendary-Tier Talents came from the Aurora Kingdom.
“Elder Zhao, Carter has already become a subject of Blazing Sun City. I asked you to come over this time because I want you to help him build a Yellow Gold-Tier Advance Grade blacksmith shop.” Zhou Zhou said.
“Does my Lord have Yellow Gold-Tier Mist Cores?” Zhao Changshou was stunned.
“No, why?” Zhou Zhou replied.
“Building a Yellow Gold-Tier Advance Grade Blacksmith Shop requires 100 Yellow Gold-Tier Advance Grade Mist Cores.”
Zhou Zhou: “… I think the Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade blacksmith shop is good enough for now.”
Zhao Changshou and Carter immediately agreed. The awkward atmosphere quickly disappeared amidst laughter.
“My Lord, this female general’s armor seems to be damaged. Would you allow me to repair it?” Carter looked at Bai Yi’s armor and said to Zhou Zhou.
It was more than just being damaged.
Bai Yi was still wearing the Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Poison Crossbowmen armor that came with her class change which was completely incompatible with her current strength.
“Go and change it out.” Zhou Zhou nodded.
Bai Yi thanked him and went back to change her clothes.
When she returned, she had her standard armor folded in her hands as she was wearing her own casual clothes.
Carter Jim took out a simple forging platform from his Spatial Ring and placed it on the ground. Then, he lit it up.
Then, the other party picked up the hammer that was three times his height.
The size of the hammer did not match his height at all. Zhou Zhou was afraid that he would not be able to handle it.
“Lord, please be mentally prepared.” At this moment, Zhao Changshou leaned over and whispered.
Zhou Zhou did not know what he meant until he saw Carter Jim in action.
Carter Jim took a deep breath.
“Gwarr…”
A tangible white circular airflow spread out from under his feet accompanied by a suppressed growl.
The ground shook slightly. Gravels trembled and floated from the ground.
Carter Jim’s body began to grow at a visible speed under Zhou Zhou and Bai Yi’s dumbfounded gazes.
Soon, his entire body had become five to six meters tall with his muscles bulging.
The white robe he was wearing earlier now looked like a scarf wrapped around his neck.
The hammer that was nearly two meters long looked like a wooden stick in his hand.
Zhou Zhou and Bai Yi’s expressions froze for a few seconds.
…
Carter Jim began to forge.
The loud sound of hammers being swung echoed throughout the entire territory, and almost everyone looked over.
Even Ashburn, who was always in the gnome alchemy workshop, came out to watch the giant forge armor.
During the forging process, he would occasionally throw a few ores into the armor.
“It’s done. The time is tight, so I only repaired the original armor, which is why I couldn’t maximize the effect of the equipment. I hope you don’t mind.” Carter was embarrassed as he handed the armor to Bai Yi.
“Thank you so much for fixing it.” Bai Yi took it and thanked him.
Zhou Zhou also looked at it.
[Equipment Name: Poison Crossbow Soldier Standard Armor (Strengthened)]
[Equipment Grade: Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade]
[Equipment Effect: Standard armor of the Poison Crossbow Soldiers. It can withstand 30% of the impact from the outside world and effectively prevent sharp weapons from attacking. After being repaired and upgraded by a blacksmith, it can slightly resist White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade damage from the outside world.]
[Introduction: The standard armor of the Poison Crossbowmen. It was reforged by an outstanding blacksmith and its defense was strengthened.]
Zhou Zhou and Bai Yi’s mouths fell agape.
Then, they looked at the shy Carter Jim.
Good God!
It was directly upgraded from a Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade equipment to Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade equipment!
