Chapter 264
It took Lu Li about two to three hours to complete the seven equips that Water Fairy had requested . Including the five equips that he had made previously, he had consecutively made a total of twelve .


Following his own professional ethics, he gave his all while he made them .
As such, he felt lightheaded and was extremely tired after focusing so intensely .
Forging equipment was definitely more tiring than killing monsters .
Among these seven equips, two of them were Exquisite quality – one was a Staff and the other was a Dagger . Water Fairy was very satisfied with the results and wanted Lu Li to continue making equipment for her .
Lu Li wasn’t down for it .
“I didn’t put down any restrictions this time because it was your first deal and we have a pretty good relationship, but from now on, I’ll only make three equips per day . If you want me to make equipment, you’ll have to pre-order the spots, and there’ll be no discounts in prices either . ”
Among the twelve equips that he had crafted, Lu Li had only taken one of the Exquisite ones . In all honesty, he barely made any profit .
Anyone else would have charged at least two hundred gold coins for three Exquisite-quality equips .
Although Water Fairy was disappointed, there wasn’t much she could do . She was very pretty, but Lu Li didn’t care about her looks .
Furthermore, there was no way she would act cute like the other girls, which further minimized her chance of getting what she wanted .
“Then can we do tomorrow? We’ll pre-order all three of the spots . ”
Water Fairy couldn’t bring herself to beg, but it didn’t seem right to ask for something using a cold tone, so she spoke in a slightly uncomfortable manner .
“You can pick two of the materials from this list to give to me as service fee . ”
Lu Li brought out a list filled with rare materials .


Some of these he currently needed, while others were there based off his memories from his previous life .
“There’s only a few of you; what’s the point of having so many rare materials?”
Even Water Fairy felt pained by looking at the names on the list .
“For the materials that are in red, one of them is equivalent to two . I can also make one more equip for you . ” Lu Li didn’t answer her question, but instead kept talking about the deal .
Undoubtedly, he had the potential to remain single for the rest of his life, considering how he was only talking about business with such a beauty .
The materials in red were required for upgrading Lu Li’s ring . Water Fairy silently remembered the list and traded the equips with Lu Li before she left .
Before Lu Li even had a chance to take a break, Shen Wansan messaged him .
“There are now quite a few Molds on the market . I’ve found a few of them for you; you should take a look and decide on the prices you’re willing to offer . ” Shen Wansan cut straight to the point .
“40 gold for the staff, 50 gold for the shield, 25 gold for the boot . I don’t want the dagger… 60 gold for the Spellfire Longsword……” Lu Li thought for a bit, then named his price .
“……” Shen Wansan was at a loss for words .
“What? Is something wrong?” Lu Li asked .
“Bro, I’m not sure if I’m the equipment dealer or if you are . You’re more familiar with the business than I am . ” Shen Wansan couldn’t help but admire Lu Li .
Molds weren’t like other items – they were truly a gamble .
Because everyone was only able to see a name, the most that they could do was make judgments based on the materials listed by the Mold .


However, this method of judging wasn’t guaranteed either . Shen Wansan had bought a Silver-Grade mold with a high price in the past that created an equip with terrible attributes . Not only was the Mold expensive, but the required materials were also expensive – the total cost was around two hundred gold . Unfortunately, no one wanted to buy it, not even for twenty gold .
“I just pay more attention to these things on a regular basis . That’s why I know a bit about it . ”
He had seen too many equips in his previous life and was able to guess most of the special effects from the molds that Shen Wansan had sent him .

For example, the Spellfire Longsword was a dual blade suitable for Paladins and came with a very strong special effect . That was why Lu Li was willing to buy it for 60 gold .
As for the dagger, based on the required materials, it probably wouldn’t turn out to be too bad .
However, Lu Li knew better than anyone else that it was very hard to forge it with a good special effect that was of equal value to the price paid . Nine out of the ten daggers forged from this mold would be nothing but garbage . He was better off not buying it .
What costed the most in a Silver Grade equip wasn’t the mold, but the rare materials .
As such, all the big guilds used any possible means at their disposal to gather rare materials, which made the game more and more difficult for solo players .
If Lu Li was to play the game by himself, chances are, he would still be a fairly decent player, but he wouldn’t be as wealthy as he currently was .
Dawn was simply not a solo game .
“That’s fine, we’ll go according to your prices . I’ll have a chat with them . ” Shen Wansan didn’t plan to waste time .
“It’s okay to spend a little more if needed,” Lu Li added . He had based the prices off his past experience in combination with the prices from the current market . It was impossible to not have any change in the pricing .
With the amount of money he was earning, he could afford to spend a little more .
In his previous life, Lu Li’s favourite thing to do besides reading books in the library was to discover underpriced items . He would often stay in the Auction in his spare time to analyze the prices of items . He would buy the underpriced items and sell them at a higher price, earning a small of income for himself .
If he was lucky, he would run into very underpriced items .
For example, someone had once placed an item in the Auction without any knowledge of its real value . This resulted in Lu Li earning a small fortune .
Some players even forgot to enter an extra zero after their prices .
Occasions like these were a gift from heaven . Even if it wasn’t a lot of money, Lu Li would still be excited about it for a long time .
Now that he thought about it, it was pretty funny, but that was the harsh reality that he faced .
He didn’t need to do this anymore in his current life; he could earn way more with the time that he spent to find underpriced items .
The prize money for first place in the Shadow Cup was a total of five million dollars . There were also other awards such as MVP, Celebrity player, etc . If he received any award, it would make all of his previous investments worth it .
Lu Li was pretty confident in receiving an award .
It was Saturday today, which meant that only one day was left before the competition started . It would be nearly impossible for people to catch up to level 25 in this short period of time .
When the time came, they would have a team with three level 25s who were equipped with some level 25 Silver-Grade gear . They would be able to crush most teams with their levels and gear alone .
After completing Water Fairy’ requests, Lu Li didn’t rush himself to make the next equips . Instead, he went offline and napped for two hours before he logged back on and began his work .
Mold: Corrupted Fang (Silver)
Recipe: Forge
Requirement: Journeyman Forging Recipe (100)
Use: Forging “Corrupted Fang”
Corrupted Fang: Attributes Unknown .
This was the first equip that he was going to forge .
Both of the daggers that Lu Li currently had equipped were severely lacking in damage . He desperately needed a new, main dagger .
Ice Spike, Nethershard and a bunch of other materials pushed the cost of this dagger above 140 gold coins .
This was equivalent to $15,000 .
Exquisite, Exquisite, you better give me an Exquisite-quality .
It would be sad if he made three Exquisite-quality equips for other people and failed to make one for himself .
After all the preparations were done, Lu Li followed the system’s instructions as he carefully forged the dagger .
When he made equips for Water Fairy, the time spent on each one was different due to the differences in the forging process . However, none of them took him longer than half an hour .
However, because Lu Li had higher expectations for this dagger, he repeatedly hammered the blade, ensuring that all the materials blended in perfectly . He devoted all of his energy to every inch of the blade, not even daring to carve the inscriptions on the handle until he had gained some confidence from practicing on a piece of wasted material .
The entire forging process lasted almost fifty minutes .
He was unconsciously dripping in sweat, as if someone had just pulled him out of a river .
However, he didn’t feel this at all . To prevent his sweat from affecting the quality of the weapon, he had even worn a secure helmet .
He was finally on the last step . If the dagger was anything below Exquisite, it was going to Auction .
