Reiki Rejuvenation, I Forged Myself Into A Divine Weapon - Chapter 1

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Shadow Moon Base City.

In an underground smithy…

Su Yun was sweating profusely as he brandished his huge hammer. The shop was filled with the sound of hammers clanging against the metal. And yet, it was still unable to hide the sound of his coughs.

Every ten minutes or so, Su Yun would need to rest. After all, he was too old and his body had become frail.

“Old man Su, can you finish the ten standard weapons I ordered for this month? If not, I’ll reduce them to five for the next one!”

There was someone speaking outside of his door, but Su Yun did not see anyone enter .

The man who stood on the other side of the door had no hair, and his stomach was bulging as if he was six months pregnant. He was a staff member of the Flame Palace, Li Song.

As soon as Li Song’s words registered in his mind, Su Yun immediately stood up. He cleaned his hands on his clothes and quickly wiped the sweat off his head with a towel.

He slowly pushed open the basement door and shouted, “I can do it! I can do it!” And another round of coughs quickly followed.

Li Song had a contemptuous look on his face. He took out a handkerchief and gently covered his mouth and nose. He waved at Su Yun and said with disdain, “Stay away from me. Don’t get too close.”

Su Yun fiercely gritted his teeth at the other man’s attitude. If it wasn’t for the fact that there were children studying at home, he would’ve beat him up.

“There’s still a week left before the end of the month and how many more weapons do you still need to make?” Li Song said with a thoughtless frown.

“It’s none of your business. I’ll have them done when it needs to be done!” Su Yun said, controlling his anger.

“Hmph!” Li Song snorted coldly and turned around to leave.

Su Yun, that old geezer. Li Sung grumpily thought to himself. His bad temper only grew with his old age. Just you wait, if you fail to complete your order, see what I’ll do to you.

Not only that, this old man didn’t even have the ability to make good judgements. I wouldn’t even want to show him a speck of respect if it wasn’t for the fact that the quality of his weapons has always been good…

Su Yun felt helpless. The truth was, he was a transmigrator.

When he had just transmigrated a few decades ago, Su Yun’s heart was still filled with passion.

He had hoped to fight and kill fierce beasts, to make a name for himself, and to fulfill great accomplishments.

However, things didn’t go as he had hoped. After observing himself, Su Yun found out that he had a weak talent in martial arts.

He was destined to be an ordinary person for his entire life.

But he didn’t let this discovery discourage him.

He still actively involved himself during the darkest period and became a part of the military’s logistics staff.

Forging and mending weapons.

When he was seventy years old, Su Yun retired from the battlefield and returned to his hometown.

He found a basement and turned it into a smithy, where he prepared himself for his next career.

Su Yun spent decades of his life as a blacksmith. It was a boring routine only filled with endless forging, and the repeated life had long made him feel exhausted.

But what else can he do?

Su Yun felt a little hopeless. He shook his head and continued forging.

He still had to keep working hard. If he couldn’t finish this batch of weapons in time, he would have hell to pay the next month.

Moreover, he was getting older, and his body was getting worse and worse as time went by.

At that moment, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

Ding!

“God-tier refining system loading…”

Su Yun was stunned, slightly surprised by the voice in his mind.

System?

Before he first came to this world, Su Yun had been a bookworm for decades.

He used to fantasize about obtaining the existence of the system like the main character in the novels he read.

However, after so many years, this fantasy had long been shattered.

Who would have thought that the system decided to visit on his 100th birthday?

Su Yun’s martial arts desire, which had long disappeared, was suddenly rekindled.

Ding! “God-tier refining system loading complete.”

Ding! “Novice gift package delivered!”

God-tier refining system?

Refining?

What is going on? Am I going to spend my whole life refining weapons?

Why did the heavens play me like this!

Isn’t refining still my current job?

To put it nicely, it’s called refining; to put it bluntly, it’s called forging.

You don’t have to give me this system! Give me a powerful talent, or give me other abilities. Please give me something that won’t leave me helpless!

Aren’t there any other possibilities?!

Is my fate to find a mountain of treasure only to return empty handed?

I don’t want this. I really don’t want this.

My life is almost up.

If I could only forge weapons, what use would it be to me?!

I am already 100 years old as of today. These skills wouldn’t make any difference.

But at least, they could only make my life a little better.

But how much longer could I live?

Wealth doesn’t mean much to me.

I couldn’t see any hope in this kind of life.

Should I wait for death to come?

Su Yun looked very dispirited, but he was unwilling to give up.

His white hair even looked like it’s withering.

His coughs were getting louder and more frequent.

“Accept the novice gift bag.” Su Yun said weakly.

He didn’t have anything left to wish for.

This world had already shown him the cruelty of reality.

People could not only live in dreams.

Su Yun was in a very depressive mood and he was unable to concentrate on refining the weapons.

He should take a break for now.

He should read something.

Su Yun casually took out a book from the bookshelf. The title of the book was “The Human Genome Project”.

The more he read, the more Su Yun felt his heart thumping wildly in his chest.

Could the human genome project really come true?

The Genome Project had already started at the atomic level. Now, due to the arrival of fierce beasts, many high-tech technologies could not be used, causing the technology to be somewhat stagnant.

There was even a certain degree of regression in the project.

It was a disaster for the entire human race.

Even if our genes could be changed, then could they turn the human body into a weapon?

Or rather, would the current me be able to make such an attempt?

As Su Yun continued to wonder, the mechanical voice in his mind interrupted his thoughts once again.

Ding! “Obtained [ 100 Times Brain Calculation ] talent!”

Ding! “Obtained mysterious[ Yellow Flame] firearm!”

Su Yun instantly felt as if his brain had been enlightened, becoming incomparably clear. He suddenly could see the solutions to all the numerous weapon manufacturing problems he had in the past.

His entire mental state seemed to have taken a qualitative leap!

Su Yun felt as if he could be lively and energetic even if he doesn’t sleep for a few days!

But since he was already old, it would still be better if he sleeps and wakes up early.

After that, he checked the firearm.

It was one of the thirty-three fire weapons ofDivine Fire of Heaven and Earth.

A weapon that could turn something that had already decayed into something magical.

A weapon that could improve the quality of weapons.

It could even improve multiple qualities of many weapons.

Now that Su Yun had unlocked 1% of the seal, he was quite satisfied.

Then he thought to himself, if I ‘refined’ myself into a weapon, would it be possible to change my fate?

After all, even an ordinary weapon could last for dozens or even hundreds of years.

And an extraordinary weapon could last for thousands of years. Does this mean that there was another way to live forever?

Su Yun had never been a person who let fate have its way with his life. As long as he found an opportunity, he would try his best to change it, even if the chance was only 1% .

Or even when there was only 1 in 10,000 chance, he would not let himself give up.

Su Yun took out a pen and paper and began to plan his body’s weapon in detail.
