Chapter 513 - Mysterious Crystal Ball

Melancholic Smile had never before seen any of the numerous forging designs scattered across the stone platform .

“This…” Melancholic Smile was stupefied . No words could describe her shock . “Guild Leader, I’m not dreaming, right?”

She was a forger in her own right, so she knew how valuable these forging designs were .

While the forging designs that could be purchased from the Forging Association were not particularly valuable, forging designs obtained elsewhere were . This was due to the designs’ low drop-rates . However, ordinary forging designs were not enough to nurture a forger; hence the forging designs were so expensive . It was especially true for the forging designs that had very low drop-rates and were meant for producing highly useful items; the prices of such forging designs were astronomical .

Aside from that, there was one more type of forging design that was even more valuable such as the Basic Strengthened Armor Kit Forging Design . Currently, aside from the Horizon Alliance’s three copies, no one had them . Moreover, nobody knew where to obtain these forging designs . As a result, they were even more valuable than Epic Equipment .

Regarding the currently available forging designs, Melancholic Smile had practically learned all of the designs that were available . Even if she hadn’t, she at least knew about them .

However, she had neither seen or heard of any of the forging designs that Shi Feng had scattered all over the table before .

Taking a casual glance at the forging designs, Melancholic Smile’s eyes shone brilliantly .

Every item these designs produced was an item that players needed desperately at this stage of the game .

“A majority of these forging designs detain instructions for the Light Stone . There are also some meant for Level 25 to Level 30 Mysterious-Iron and Secret Silver Equipment . You can let any Advanced Forging Apprentice learn the Light Stone Forging Designs . ” Shi Feng chuckled . Slowly, he said, “However, only the three of you can learn these equipment forging designs . You can also leave some to serve as a reward for the members who become Basic Forgers, but all those who wish to learn them must renew their contracts . If they want to leave the Horizon Alliance, fine . But they must first compensate the Guild twenty times the value of the forging designs . If Overwhelming Smile wants to poach our members, let them have at it . ”

Shi Feng had long since guessed that Overwhelming Smile would try to poach their Lifestyle players .

These Forging Apprentices had initially joined with the intent of making a living for themselves . Since Overwhelming Smile was willing to offer an absurd salary in addition to shouldering the compensation, many would naturally be tempted .

Before this, Shi Feng had repeatedly told Melancholic Smile to be careful when recruiting members precisely because he wished to avoid this situation . He had also done so with the intention of informing Melancholic Smile of the severity of the matter .

Not even the gods could see through the human heart, let alone mankind .

Only through experiencing hardships could one grow .

There were many things that one could not learn from the experience of others . Only through experience could wisdom be earned . Now that Melancholic Smile had personally experienced such a situation, in the future, she would definitely be more thorough when selecting talented players .

Currently, he had a large number of Light Stone Forging Designs on hand . If Overwhelming Smile would willingly pay the price to poach the Alliance’s members, Shi Feng welcomed them to do so . The Light Stone Forging Designs were very common . In the past, each forging design only sold for several Gold . Moreover, that was when most players had reached Level 45; these forging designs were not particularly valuable .

Only, current players’ levels were not high enough yet to obtain them, resulting in their value increasing significantly . Based on Shi Feng’s initial estimates, each Light Stone Forging Design should be worth around several dozen Gold .

If he wished to acquire more Light Stone Forging Designs, he could obtain a ton of them any time he wanted . This way, he would not have to wait for the profits of the Light Stones to slowly roll in . Just the 20-times compensation Overwhelming Smile had to pay for poaching each member could make a ridiculous amount of Credits . He could make a fortune just by selling Advanced Forging Apprentices .

“Guild Leader, I will definitely be more careful when selecting who I allow to learn these forging designs . ” Melancholic Smile was immensely excited when she looked at the Light Stone Forging Designs scattered across the stone platform . However, her greatest joy was due to Shi Feng’s forgiveness and encouragement .

“It’s fine; just pick them at random . Even better, choose those who already have the heart to defect to Overwhelming Smile . Let Overwhelming Smile poach as many as they can . Otherwise, how will I make money?” Shi Feng laughed .

“But…” For a moment, Melancholic Smile wanted to dissuade Shi Feng . However, when she looked at the forging designs on the table, she suddenly came to a realization . “I’ll carry out your orders, then, Guild Leader . ”

To others, the Light Stone Forging Design might be a treasure . However, judging from Shi Feng’s behavior, it seemed that they were not valuable in the slightest . Only, others did not know this yet . They would be senseless fools if they did not profit off of Overwhelming Smile’s greed while they had the chance .

A moment later, Melancholic Smile had picked out three Advanced Forging Apprentices . Of them, two seriously considered defecting to Overwhelming Smile . They only held out for the right price . Hence, Melancholic Smile decided to give them this opportunity .

In reality, there were many others with the same intentions within the Horizon Alliance . However, to convince others of the Light Stone Forging Designs’ rarity, she could not allow too many people to learn it at once . An item was as valuable as it was rare . If she did so, the Light Stone Forging Designs would lose their value .

As long as these two Advanced Forging Apprentices learned how to produce the Light Stones, their personal value would immediately skyrocket . In addition to the two’s willingness to defect, Overwhelming Smile would try to poach them at all costs . After all, not only would they deal the Candlelight Trading Firm a blow, they could also steal two of the Trading Firm’s highly valued “talents . ”

As Melancholic Smile took care of the Light Stone Forging Design situation, Shi Feng had arrived at his own exclusive forging room . He had set up a private forging room for himself in every Candlelight Trading Firm . Other than himself, no one was allowed into these rooms . He wanted to ensure that he would have access to a forging room at all times .

Inside the quiet forging room, Shi Feng carefully retrieved the God Crystal from his bag .

The translucent crystal ball on the stone table looked simple and ordinary . No matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary crystal ball . However, Orc King Tresik had sacrificed hundreds of thousands of his subordinates to obtain this treasure . Moreover, this treasure had even managed to kill a Tier 4 Sky Knight, who had learned a forbidden move, instantly . The crystal ball’s worth was clear .

“Just what is this thing used for?” Shi Feng could not see anything special about the orb despite observing it carefully for a long time .

Moreover, the God Crystal’s information stated that it was only a Common item . Aside from that, no other information was displayed . It was also not in an Unknown or Unappraised state .

“Is there some hidden information about it?” The more Shi Feng thought about it, the more he felt it was possible .

There were many amazing items in God’s Domain that might look ordinary, but in reality, contained power that could even shake the heavens .

In the past, there had been a player who had purchased a piece of dilapidated armor at a bazaar, only to discover that the armor was actually an Epic ranked armor . Such situations often occurred in God’s Domain .

Only after triggering special conditions could one reveal the true value of a treasure .

Shi Feng then used Omniscient Eyes .

After more than half a minute had passed, however, there was still no reaction . He could not glean anything more about the crystal ball .

“Is the level of my Identification Skill insufficient?” Shi Feng muttered in surprise . “It can’t be . I recall Sharlyn saying that the Omniscient Eyes activated using the Golden Stigmata is the second most powerful Identification Skill in God’s Domain . Do I need other items to activate the God Crystal’s true function?”

Shi Feng suddenly had the urge to puke blood .

After wasting so much effort to steal this item, he could not actually use it; he still needed to fulfill some special requirements . Yet, he had no clue as to what those requirements were . It was utterly frustrating .

“Hm? Doesn’t it look a bit like the dark blue crystal ball I got from the Eternal Courtyard?” After the improvement to his brain’s activity, Shi Feng’s memory had become extraordinary . Thus far, he had not been able to do anything about the dark-blue crystal ball . At this moment, seeing as both items were crystal balls and were related to Gods, if someone told him that the two items were unrelated, Shi Feng would not believe them .

Thinking up to this point, Shi Feng left the forging room immediately and rushed towards the Bank .
