Chapter 548 - 266: Righteous Deeds of Yu Yun, Feng Hen, and Blade’s Edge [Two-in-One] (Part 3)
[Task Completed]
[Skill Acquired: Sword Forging]
[The protagonist possesses physical qualities far beyond those of ordinary people, and has mastered ceramics firing skills, obtaining a bonus, Swordsmithing Skill +1.]
[Sword Forging LV.2: Under your hammering, metal pulsates like breathing, and your precision in quenching timing has reached the realm of milliseconds. You can perfectly replicate the essence of all historical famous blades, and the edge of the blades you forge will redefine the limits of modern cold weapon performance.]
"Good, good, good, this is a great skill."
A flood of materials science knowledge once again surged into Li Younan’s head, including the component characteristics of various steels, the principles of heat treatment, the impact of metal microstructure on tool performance, and traditional techniques for forging, quenching, and honing different schools of knives and swords, as well as the evolution of historical swordsmithing craftsmanship.
On top of that is the ability to operate machinery and tools.
However, there is another part of the ability that the skill cannot manifest, but Li Younan can use, which is cultural and aesthetic knowledge.
Li Younan’s skills in the field of art allow him to design more beautiful knife models and ornaments.
Slightly regrettably, in this country, there are strict regulatory requirements for knives, so there are not many scenarios where this skill can truly be utilized to its potential.
But Li Younan was still quite excited. As a child, he could play with a long stick for a long time. At that time, seeing the peerless sword in "Wind and Cloud," he could find a stick with a fork on one end, and it would be a child’s peerless sword.
And now, having acquired the skill to forge swords, he definitely has to equip himself with what was once a childhood toy!
What Heaven-Relying Sword and Dragon-Slaying Saber, what Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, Fang of Explosion, Tensa Zangetsu; they all need to be arranged.
This skill has not been upgraded to Level 3, but it does not affect Li Younan’s mood at all.
After all, in most life scenarios, even a Level 1 skill is an achievement an ordinary person might never attain in a lifetime.
And with an increasing number of checkpoint skills, it has become difficult to obtain plain Level 1 skills; often, when a skill is acquired, it starts at Level 2.
It has been a long time since he experienced the feeling of obtaining a Level 1 skill, truly dull, thought Li Younan with a slightly cheeky grin.
Returning once again to the RV campsite, Liu Li couldn’t wait to edit some of the scenes she had just captured on the motorcycle, while Li Younan quietly prepared dinner.
He took an onion, cut it open, and Liu Li called out: "Li Younan, come and take a look!"
Li Younan turned his head, a bit puzzled, and walked over, still holding the half-chopped onion in his hand.
Liu Li was in front of the computer, with a short video app opened on the desktop version, watching a video from a news media outlet.
Li Younan glanced over, the number of likes had reached hundreds of thousands, which amused him, and he started watching from the top.
The title of this news was "Terrifying Night in the Wilderness: Tibetan Bear Attacks Car and People, Mysterious Car Owner Draws Blade to Slay Bear and Save Three Families".
The video began with shots of the wilderness under the Unimog’s spotlight, shattered car windows, the Tibetan bear on the ground, and an urgent BGM.
The host’s commentary was shrill: "Family save lives! Camping late at night in the wild, suddenly a several-hundred-pound Tibetan bear knocks on the door, what kind of divine hellish experience is this? This family almost didn’t make it!"
Then came interviews with the victimized couples, complete with subtitles. "The bear tore the door open, I ran out barefoot, stumbling all the way,"
Another said, "Afterwards, it went to smash the window of the neighboring car, my friend was holding her child inside crying, we all thought we were done for today."
Next, the excited commentary continued: "In this life-and-death second, a brother rushed out from the neighboring Unimog, first shot an arrow through the bear’s face, then took up two knives for a fierce battle, slashing the bear’s claws with the left, stabbing its nape with the right, his moves more ruthless than a movie! The bear charged at seventy to eighty kilometers per hour, and with a backhand, he dealt a fatal blow!"
This was followed by the interview of the father with the child, who exclaimed: "If it weren’t for Brother Li, my wife and child would not be here today! After he killed the bear, he even helped us pack up, and he refused any money we offered. Do you know? That bear stood taller than our car, and he took care of it alone!"
Then came the host’s commentary: "Do you all think this legend is some hidden folk master? Actually, he’s someone many of you may recognize!"
Immediately, a screenshot of Li Younan’s Douyin account popped up on the screen.
"That’s right, he’s the badass who once hunted grizzly bears in ’Alone in the Wilderness’!"
"I bet, even our police uncles would be stunned seeing this."
"Here I call on everyone to salute Brother Li Younan, to salute the Hero!"
"If you see this video, give a like to the Hero! Follow me, and next time I’ll show you more of Brother Li’s wild exploits... Also, share your thoughts in the comments; what would you do if you encountered such danger?"
Seeing this, Li Younan casually clicked open the comment section, and the netizens did not disappoint, with the top-liked comment even catching Li Younan by surprise.
"Pressure Cooker: I was originally just stewing ribs, didn’t expect I’d be commissioned to fend off a bear, the workload is bigger than the promises my boss made."
The second top comment was: "Bear: I just came to grab a snack, how did I end up facing a max-level boss?"
"This bear must be the unluckiest villain of the year?"
"Suggest showing this video to all camping enthusiasts, having the best gear can’t beat having Li Younan as your neighbor, next time I’ll camp right next to the Unimog."
