In the afternoon, he would do some basic exercises, such as push-ups, squats, sit-ups, etc. He would only stop after he had used up all of his strength. Three days of training, on the surface, he did not seem to have changed at all, but if one looked closely at his eyes, there was an invisible domineering look in his eyes, although it was not very obvious. This was probably the biggest harvest of the past few days.

That morning, Tian Cheng didn't wait for dawn to come and train outside like he had a few days ago. Instead, he quietly sat at the simple desk, thinking and drawing something with his pen. The room gradually brightened. When the first ray of sunlight shone on Tian Cheng's face, Tian Cheng also finished his last stroke. Putting down the pen, Tian Cheng stood up and stretched. With a few crisp sounds of "pa pa", Tian Cheng revealed an expression of enjoyment. After training day and night for the past few days, all the muscles in his body had never stopped aching. If it weren't for the fact that he was extremely tired, he probably wouldn't even have the courage to lie down on his bed. After a short period of pondering, he felt that he was so blessed. He could not help but sigh, "It's better to do what I've done!"

Today was the predetermined day with the dwarf Luke, so Tian Cheng gave him the day off. The blueprints he had just drawn were self-made training equipment for the second stage of his training. As for now, Tian Cheng still had to go through the motions. The main goal of his training was not to reach the first level, but rather to change his frail body.

He was still training along the way. It was as if he was faster than ever before. His face was no longer serious, and his smile didn't stop for a moment. When he thought of the rats waiting for him every morning, he couldn't help but laugh foolishly. He thought to himself, "My grandfather and I are finally going to go back to being poor. Good days are coming." However, after all, Tian Cheng had seen a lot of things. He was not excited at the moment, so he would not be proud of such a small achievement. The bloody night reminded him to become stronger again.

It didn't take long for Tian Cheng to arrive at the village after half the time. He then headed straight to the Dwarf's weapon store. After greeting the boss, he heard a familiar "bang" sound and went to Luke's forging room. Like last time, Luke was still brandishing his sledgehammer with his bare upper body. However, this time, the look in Luke's eyes changed to that of enthusiasm, expectation, and indifference.

"Haha brat, you're finally here." Before Tian Cheng could say anything, Luke laughed loudly. He slightly bowed towards Luke and jokingly said, "Master Luke, you seem to be looking forward to my arrival! Could something have gone wrong during the forging? You know, I have urgent use for those things. " As he spoke, he made an anxious expression.

Luke obviously saw through Tian Cheng's thoughts. He waved his hand and said, "Little brat, don't try this with me. With just your little things, can you still make things difficult for me? Come, I'll take you to take a look." As he spoke, he pulled Tian Cheng to the warehouse.

Tian Cheng didn't even have the strength to resist as he was dragged behind like a bull by the small hand. Seeing this, Tian Cheng couldn't help but bitterly smile. "Why does it feel a little strange!"

The house was not big, but there were quite a few items piled up inside. Tian Cheng looked around and quickly saw through the so-called weapon warehouse, which had two types of items: one was neatly placed inside, its surface was bright and beautiful, just like the weapons sold outside, but it only took up a small half of the room, while the other half was covered in rust and was left in a disorderly mess. Each of the items had their own flaws.

Luke walked in front of the small pile of weapons, pointed at the metal sticks that were neatly placed on the ground and said, "This is what you need. I've spent two days and two nights in a row, but I haven't worked so hard to create anything for anyone else. But these little things really aren't easy to do, they tire me out." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Tian Cheng, looking as if he had put in a lot of effort.

Tian Cheng also walked up and looked at the pile of simple metal rods. He nodded in disbelief and said, "Master Luke is indeed a dwarf. The things he makes are always perfect and flawless."

After seeing these "iron rods" made by Luke, Tian Cheng had a new understanding of the dwarves. He had always thought that they were only proficient in forging large items like weapons, but never thought that these small and exquisite items could be produced from their hands. Even if he used some high precision tools, he still wouldn't be able to guarantee that he would be able to do it so perfectly, but they could do it with only their own senses and techniques. This was indeed a heaven-given talent, no one could learn it, and neither could anyone.

When Luke heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Those words are very nice to say, and I like to hear them, but, kid, aren't these things just worth a few nice words?" We dwarves don't like to beat around the bush, so let me be frank with you. I know that these parts together can form a cage, but you tore apart a simple cage so complicated, and there are a few parts in the middle. "As a thank you for your reward, you can just tell me about them. I can guarantee that I won't tell anyone about them. Also, in the future, other than weapons, I can make Boss only charge a price for everything I create here."

Tian Cheng wasn't in a hurry to reveal his secret. Instead, he asked, "Master Loke, can you tell me why you are so interested in these things? Don't dwarves only love forging weapons?"

Luke sighed and stayed silent for a while before saying, "Actually, it's not a big deal to tell you. You don't know much about us dwarves, and a long time ago, our dwarves' civilization surpassed any other race on the continent, especially the research on machinery. It has reached an unprecedented level of prosperity. However, the good news didn't last long. Very soon, we, the Dwarves, were invaded by some races, and even though our weapons are advanced, we were unable to stop their crazy attacks. Thus, along with the war, some of the technologies were lost, until now. So when I saw your blueprint, I felt it was a little similar to what our ancestors had, even though you didn't mean anything important. "

He was particularly interested in such things. After understanding the reason, Tian Cheng nodded his head and straightforwardly told Luke about the assembling and usage of all the components. He even assembled one on the spot. He wasn't worried that Luke would leak it out at all. Not to mention Luke's character, even what he had just told Tian Cheng was far from worth the reward. Moreover, this wasn't a secret.

After a cage was assembled, Tian Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Master Luke, could it be that the current Dwarves have created something like this? Logically speaking, each generation should be stronger than the last. "

Luke smiled bitterly, and then said, "Yes, if we were given the most time and energy, we would also believe that we could create the glory of our predecessors, and even surpass them. But now, do we have the time and energy? "We are facing the hunt and slaughter of the human race every day, living a life full of fear. Can we concentrate on doing other things?" As he spoke, his eyes began to turn red.
