Chapter 43 - Book Of Forging

Shi Feng took the key to the Intermediate Forging Room and went up the second floor, ignoring the flirting young lady .

The first floor of the Forging Association only had Basic Forging Rooms, whereas Intermediate Forging Rooms were located on the second floor .

When compared to the first floor, there were far fewer people on the second floor . There were only NPCs walking around . Players would not come to this place at all . Also, there were only twenty Intermediate Forging Rooms, unlike the Basic Rooms, which numbered at fifty .

Shi Feng entered the Intermediate Forging Room . The room was much larger and refined . The facilities available were also better than the Basic room, especially the Hammer and Flame . These two items were not simple at all .

Shi Feng held up the silvery-white hammer that was placed on the iron-woven felt .

[Hundred Refinement Hammer] (Bronze-rank)

Forging Items: When Forging, the success rate is increased by 3% .

Requirements: Strength 4

Just this Hundred Refinement Hammer alone was hard to obtain by players . The best hammers NPCs sold were Common Hammers . Those hammers did not increase the success rate of Forging . As for stealing this Hundred Refinement Hammer, it was an impossible task . Items that belonged to the Forging Room could not be taken away by players .

The Flame here was extraordinary as well . Instead of the usual scarlet, yellow color, the Flame here burned with a scarlet, green color . It was not a common Flame, but a Mysterious Flame .

Shi Feng took a look at its description .

Scarlet Devil Flame (Tier 1 Mysterious Flame)

Special Item: Possesses extremely high temperatures . Items smelted with the Flame will have higher purity . When refining potions or forging items, there will be a definite increase in success rates .

Mysterious Flames were rare and powerful Flames . These Flames had varying strength, and they could be categorized into nine tiers . The first tier was the weakest, whereas the ninth tier was the strongest . However, even a first tier Mysterious Flame was not something that could be easily obtained by players .

Due to the Mysterious Flame's rarity, its price within God's Domain was extremely high . Including the fact that both Potion-making and Forging required Mysterious Flames, the prices of Mysterious Flames had become even more shocking .

There was once a Tier 4 Flame that caused tens of first-rate Guilds to fight over it . After the death of millions of players, the Flame finally ended up in the hands of the World Dominators . Not long after, a Master Potionmaker in World Dominators rose to become a Grandmaster Potionmaker, increasing the influence of the World Dominators by a large leap .

Shi Feng had a great yearning within him when he looked at the burning Mysterious Flame . It was the thirst of a Forger .

Just when Shi Feng was in deep thought, he suddenly recalled a matter .

On the second month of God's Domain's operation, the third-rate Guild, Glorious Light, had discovered a Tier 2 Mysterious Flame, Ice-Fire Devil Flame . The Flame was found in the Hundred Ghosts Forest, and its discovery induced great envy into the other Guilds . At that time, there were a lot of Lifestyle players who had applied to join Glorious Light, allowing the Guild's power to abruptly increase and becoming the tyrant of a small City . However, there were also many Guilds who gathered information in secret, wanting to obtain a Mysterious Flame for themselves . Naturally, Shadow was no exception to this .

Shadow had discovered the location and method of obtainment of the Mysterious Flame from Glorious Light's inner circle . Unfortunately, such Mysterious Flames only appeared once, never appearing again after they were gone . This discovery caused many Guilds to waste their efforts .

As he was thinking about the Ice-Fire Devil Flame, Shi Feng suddenly started having intentions towards this Mysterious Flame . If he could make it his own, it would definitely be of great help to him in the future when he started his own Guild . Moreover, the Flame would be of great help in pushing Shi Feng to become a true Forger[1] .

However, Shi Feng still needed to hash out a proper plan to obtain the Ice-Fire Devil Flame . He needed to prepare many things before he could obtain the Flame .

Following which, Shi Feng took out the Garrison Armor's Forging Design . Without wasting time, he immediately chose to learn it .

System: You have learned how to forge the Garrison Armor .

Afterward, Shi Feng placed all the needed materials onto the stone table . Then, he took out the immensely precious Book Of Forging and started to forge .

Shi Feng was a Basic Forging Apprentice . His success rate for forging a Level 0 Common Equipment did not exceed 20%, and after a successful forging, there was a 40% chance for him to obtain 1 Proficiency Point . If Shi Feng were to forge the Garrison Armor, a Level 3 Bronze Equipment, his chance of success would not exceed 5% . Successfully forging a piece of Bronze Equipment would bring an additional bonus, which was a 100% chance to obtain 2 Proficiency Points .

However, 1000 Proficiency Points were needed to become an Intermediate Forging Apprentice . Obtaining such a large amount of points required equally large funding to support it . There was no way for a Lifestyle player to support such a large sum of money by themselves .

The Forgers in Guilds all started out by forging Common Equipment . There was not a single Guild who would allow these Lifestyle players to forge Bronze Equipment right off the bat . To begin with, they didn't even possess a Forging Design for Bronze Equipment, and even if they did, they wouldn't carry out such an action . The success rate of a Basic Forging Apprentice was just too low, and the materials needed were just too expensive . A single failure would cost 1 Silver Coin or more . It was a loss that not even Guilds could handle . Moreover, they couldn't even collect that many materials to make the equipment .

However, Shi Feng did not have such worries . He had the Philosopher's Stone, so he did not lack in resources . Furthermore, the materials needed to make the Garrison Armor were cheaply-priced . It only required 5 bottles of Magic Essences, 5 pieces of Bronze Ore, and 20 pieces of Copper Ore . The cost of making the Garrison Armor was only 80 Copper Coins . When compared to the cost of making other Bronze Equipment, it was at least 20 Coppers cheaper . The Garrison Armor also had very good Attributes, so it was extremely welcomed . Shi Feng wouldn't have to be troubled over figuring out how to sell it .

The most important thing was the Book Of Forging .

The Book Of Forging could increase the success rate of forging Common Equipment by 70%, Bronze Equipment by 50%, Mysterious-Iron Equipment by 30%, Secret-Silver Equipment by 20%, Fine-Gold Equipment by 10%, Dark-Gold Equipment by 5%, and Epic Equipment by 1% .

With such Attributes, the Book Of Forging could allow a player to become a Master Forger easily and unimpeded .

Basic Forging Apprentices originally had a 20% success rate at forging Common Equipment . Including the 70% from the book, the success rate would become 90% . Further including the facilities of the Intermediate Forging Room and removing the possibilities of mistakes, the success rate of making Common Equipment was 99% or higher . Unless the player was a pig[2], failure was impossible .

The Book Of Forging's frightening abilities could clearly be seen from this .

As for the Garrison Armor, Shi Feng had a 5% success rate for making it . Including the 50% from the book, the 3% from the room's facilities, and also the effects of the Mysterious Flame, Shi Feng now had a 60% success rate for making the Garrison Armor . Not to mention Bronze Equipment, even if Common Equipment had a 60% success rate, it would still drive Forger players mad . Such a high percentage for success was something unimaginable to Forgers .

Following which, Shi Feng started slowly making the Garrison Armor according to the Forging Design's requirements . He first smelted the Copper and Bronze Ore in the fire . After being in the fire for five minutes, the ores started to melt and form a lump . Afterward, Shi Feng added in the Magic Essence, letting it burn for another minute before removing the red-hot ore and placing it onto the metal felt . The ore's scorching hot temperature caused Shi Feng to sweat . However, Shi Feng did not dare be careless, as the following process was the most important part .

After finishing the preparations, Shi Feng held the Hundred Refinement Hammer and readied it to hammer the fiery ore .

Dang… Dang… Dang . . .

Sparks flew in all directions . The hammering sounds echoed throughout the wide Forging Room .

Shi Feng struck every hit with careful precision .

In his previous life, Shi Feng did not learn Forgery . He only learned the Gathering skill . However, he still knew quite a lot about Forgery . After all, he had conversed with a Master Forger quite often, so he was knowledgeable to the degree of not making certain low-leveled mistakes .

After hammering the ore over a hundred times, Shi Feng felt that it was perfect . Shi Feng wiped away the sweat on his forehead, carefully selecting the crimson ore's interface and clicking the Complete button .

Following which, the red-hot ore started transforming . Within five seconds, it had transformed into a silvery-gray colored armor . On the surface, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it . However, equipment's successful forging did not just depend on its appearances; there was also its quality . Quality included the equipment's Attributes and rank .

Bronze Equipment that was badly forged would have their ranks decreased to Common, or their base Attributes would not be up to standards .

Hence, Shi Feng selected the information of the armor, checking whether it was a success or a failure .

TL Notes:

[1]a true Forger => this part is referring to the ranks for a Forger i . e . Forging Apprentice -> Forger -> Master Forger -> Grandmaster Forger

[2]Unless the player was a pig => An idiot
