I've finally succeeded! Shifeng couldn't help his excitement when he heard the system notification.
Intermediate Master Forger!
This was a massive milestone for forgers. Although it was extremely difficult to become a Master in God's Domain, there were plenty of players who had managed to do so.
However, most of these Master Lifestyle players had stopped at the Basic Master rank. Only after reaching the Intermediate Master rank would the various superpowers truly value them. As for Basic Master Lifestyle players, they were only qualified to join the various superpowers' Guilds.
Only after becoming an Intermediate Master Forger could one produce powerful war weapons. In addition, only when one became an Intermediate Master Forger could one produce top-tier Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment for expert players. After all, even Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment had differences in Basic Attributes and Additional Effects.
Take standard equipment for example. Although both Dark-Gold items were Dark-Gold rank, standard equipment was much weaker than Dark-Gold items of the same level. Only Dark-Gold items were slightly stronger than Fine-Gold items of the same level.
Moreover, after becoming an Intermediate Master Forger, one could produce Epic Weapons and Equipment, unlike Basic Master Forgers. Although Basic Master Forgers could produce Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment, they could only produce ordinary Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment. Their success rate for top-tier Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment would be significantly lower. As for Epic Weapons and Equipment, they only had a small chance of success. Not even the various superpowers could afford to produce Epic Weapons and Equipment. As for Intermediate Master Forgers, at the very least, they could afford to produce Epic Weapons and Equipment.
Most importantly, now that he had become an Intermediate Master Forger, he had the ability to craft Guardian Puppets. Now, all he needed to do was collect the materials he needed to craft Guardian Puppets.
As long as he had enough Guardian Puppets, not only would Ling Yi be able to protect his Guild Town, but he would also no longer have to defend a single location. He could even fight the Evil God's Temple in the fields. Capturing Ancient Rock City might even be possible.
Shortly after Shi Feng became an Intermediate Master Forger, another system notification reached his ears.
System: Congratulations! You have become the first Intermediate Master Forger in Starmoon Kingdom. Rewarding one Silver Forging Treasure Chest and Humanity Reputation + 50.
"A Dark-Gold Forging Treasure Chest?" Shock filled Shi Feng's eyes when he saw a Silver Treasure Chest embedded with a five-colored gem suddenly appear in his bag.
The current players of God's Domain were unfamiliar with Forging Treasure Chests. However, to players of God's Domain ten years later, Forging Treasure Chests would be something every forger dreamed of obtaining.
Just like the name suggested, the items that came out of the Forging Treasure Chests were all Blacksmith items.
There were Secret Forging Techniques, Forging Designs, and Forging Tools. There were even rumors of Mysterious Flames. These items were far more valuable than the Treasure Chests one could find in God's Domain. Normally, players had to complete high-ranking Subclass Quests to obtain these items.
However, the Forging Treasure Chests they obtained were generally Bronze rank.
As for Silver-ranked Forging Treasure Chests, Shifeng had only heard of them. They had never seen one before.
He never thought that becoming the first Intermediate Blacksmith in the kingdom would give him such a reward.
Following which, he took out the Silver Forging Treasure Chest and activated Divine Providence, choosing to open the Forging Treasure Chest.
As the Forging Treasure Chest slowly opened, a five-colored radiance blossomed from within, illuminating the entire forging room. After the radiance dissipated, two items appeared inside the Forging Treasure Chest. One was an iron hammer engraved with dark-purple runes, while the other was an old tome. Both items displayed as Unknown Items.
"This is …"
Shifeng activated Omniscient Eyes and began to appraise the items. When the Attributes of the two items appeared, Shifeng could not help his surprise.
[Magic Refining Hammer] (Dark-Gold Rank) Equipment Requirement: Master Forger. Increases crafting speed by 10%. Increases success rate when crafting items below Epic rank by 5%. Increases success rate when crafting items below Epic rank by 2%.
[Hundred Refinement Gold Forging Design] Hundred Refinement Gold Forging Design: Hundred Refinement Gold has a certain chance to add the Metal Strengthening effect to weapons and equipment below Epic rank, strengthening the item by 10%. A weapon or equipment can only be strengthened once. Players can only equip a maximum of three weapons and equipment with the Metal Strengthening effect.
"Amazing! It's no wonder why nobody mentioned Silver Forging Treasure Chests in the past. "Shifeng's eyes glowed as he looked at the Magic Refining Hammer and Hundred Refinement Gold Forging Design.
Both the Magic Refining Hammer and the Hundred Refinement Gold Forging Design were extraordinarily valuable items, especially the Hundred Refinement Gold Forging Design. It was a top-tier item that could strengthen Guild members' weapons and equipment. With the Magic Refining Hammer, he could increase his success rate when crafting items. It would be of great help to him personally.
Following which, Shifeng contacted Shiuse Qiangwei and had Shiuse Qiangwei begin collecting materials for the Guardian Puppets. Meanwhile, he prepared to produce the Basic Combat Devices.
Due to the guerilla warfare between the Black Dragon Empire and the Miracle Society, the Miracle Society had not expended any manpower to deal with Ling Yi's members who were equipped with the Basic Combat Devices. Instead, they had chosen a strategy of attrition with Ling Yi's members.
This situation had given Gentle Snow a headache.
Although he had been frantically producing the Basic Combat Devices to create temporary peak experts, he could only produce around 200 Basic Combat Devices per day. Needless to say, he had spent a lot of Magic Crystals. If Shiuse Qiangwei hadn't already arranged for tens of thousands of Magic Crystals to mine the Manatite vein, he could've used up all of the Guild's Magic Crystals in the Guild's stockpile in one day.
Moreover, he needed to rest. He couldn't afford to continuously produce the Basic Combat Devices without rest.
However, each Basic Combat Device could only be used for 12 hours. If he wanted to keep Ling Yi's members fighting during the day, he'd need two to three Basic Combat Devices per Tier 2 expert. In other words, less than 100 players could actually fight in the fields all day.
Even if Ling Yi's members had 100, they wouldn't be able to gather as many experts if they were scattered throughout the Black Dragon Empire. The only thing they could do was select important leveling maps. As for gathering Ling Yi Society's members in a specific map, that was no longer possible. Due to Ling Yi's continuous expansion, the Guild already had a lot of members. A single map could only accommodate a limited number of players. Gathering too many players would only hinder the Guild's development.
Hence, the Ling Yi Society's members had suffered significant losses during the war. After all, Ling Yi's foundations were too weak. The number of experts it had could not compare to Miracle's.
So far, Ling Yi's side had lost over 10,000 players, while Miracle's side had lost less than 3,000 players. The difference between the two sides was obvious. Although Shi Feng wanted to send Fire Dance to reinforce Silverwing Town, he also needed a large number of experts to defend Silverwing Town.
As a result, Ling Yi was currently in an awkward position.
However, things were different now.
Even with the help of various support tools, Shi Feng's success rate for producing Basic Combat Devices was, at most, 50%. Now that he had become an Intermediate Master Forger, however, his success rate had soared to 70%. Moreover, his production speed had increased by at least 25%. This was the equivalent of nearly doubling his production speed.
In other words, he could produce 400 Basic Combat Devices per day, instantly doubling the number of players on the Black Dragon Empire's side.
Time passed quickly. The Shifeng continued to produce Basic Combat Devices. Finally, after a full day, they had produced 400 Basic Combat Devices. Among them, 21 were Strengthened Basic Combat Devices.
"Guild Leader, are the Basic Combat Devices still not ready? Our side is almost out of Basic Combat Devices. If we don't replenish them soon, I'm afraid our side will fall apart, "Gentle Snow suddenly contacted Shifeng and asked.
In the beginning, the battle hadn't been intense. However, as the battle grew more intense, Miracle Society began to dispatch more experts. At this point, Ling Yi was at a complete disadvantage. Without the Basic Combat Devices, Miracle Society's players would whittle her down.
"They're ready. I'll send them over in a moment," Shifeng said, chuckling.
"They're ready?" Shiuse Qiangwei breathed out a sigh of relief when he heard Shifeng's reply. "I'll call them back right away, then."
Following which, Shiuse Qiangwei disconnected the call and contacted the Tier 2 members fighting on the frontlines. Meanwhile, Shifeng organized the Basic Combat Devices he had produced before contacting A Melancholy Smile.
"Melancholy, how are your side's production coming along?" Shifeng asked when he saw A Melancholy Smile's exhausted expression on the screen.
"Guild Leader, the Magicbreaking Crossbows are too difficult to produce. So far, we've only produced 60 of them," A Melancholy Smile said, slightly ashamed.
