"Twenty to thirty percent is enough?"
Hearing Shi Feng's confident tone, Silent Wonder was confused and curious about her chances of completing her promotion.
The promotion of a Lifestyle class wasn't as simple as reaching a higher tier. Players only needed to pass a test to become a Lifestyle class. Instead, they needed to satisfy their class's Proficiency and create a corresponding design or recipe.
If players wanted to become an Advanced Master Alchemist, they needed to create an Advanced Master Recipe. However, creating an Advanced Master Recipe was several times more difficult than creating an ordinary Master Recipe. It wasn't just a matter of mixing materials. It also involved magic arrays, Mana control, and other issues.
Hence, the promotion to an Advanced Master Recipe wasn't something that could be accomplished with more resources and guidance.
She was only confident that she could succeed due to the Research Workshop's guidance and the Droplet of Life Recipe. She also had a general idea of the direction of her research. However, she would need a lot of time to experiment and correct her mistakes. It wasn't something she could accomplish in six or seven days.
"I can't say for sure, but if you're twenty to thirty percent confident, then you should have a 70 to 80 percent chance of succeeding in the remaining time," Shifeng said, chuckling.
"Seventy to 80 percent?" Silent Wonder's voice rose as she stared at Xiang Shifeng in astonishment.
Creating an Advanced Master Recipe was easier said than done. Even if the various superpowers gave her all they had, she'd be lucky if she could increase her success rate by ten to twenty percent.
If those Master Alchemists were to find out about this, they would most likely laugh at Shi Feng for being a complete amateur who didn't know anything about Alchemy at all.
However, Shifeng was no amateur. He was a bona fide Intermediate Master Forger, standing at the apex of the forging profession. He was also one of the first players to become a Master Lifestyle class. Most likely, only a few people in Candlelight could compare to him in terms of understanding of Lifestyle classes.
"You'll know when the time comes. For now, head to the Research Workshop and study the Droplet of Life Recipe. If you can figure it out, you'll be able to create an Advanced Master Recipe," Shi Feng said, chuckling. The secret of the Primal Void Stone was simply too important. If word of it got out, it'd cause a commotion throughout God's Domain.
After reaching Master rank, there was a huge threshold to go from Intermediate to Advanced. It could be said that more than 90% of Masters were blocked at the door of Advanced Master.
This was no longer a matter of technical standards. It also involved a player's mental fortitude.
Meanwhile, the easiest way to improve one's Concentration was to increase one's tier. The higher a player's tier was, the greater their Concentration would improve. This was also why God's Domain's top Lifestyle players were so high-tiered.
Currently, Silent Wonder was only a Tier 2 player, and she was only Level 97. She was still a long way from reaching Level 100, not to mention reaching Tier 3 and improving her Concentration standard.
There were very few items in God's Domain that could improve a player's Concentration, and the Primal Void Stone was one of them. Mainstream players had only discovered this secret after reaching Level 150 or 160.
Due to this incident, the various superpowers had frantically fought over Primal Void Stones. They no longer treated them as items that increased Mana density. Instead, they became items that combat and Lifestyle players could use to improve themselves.
Although the Primal Void Stone only provided around 20% to 30% of a player's Concentration standard, it was already extremely valuable to players. After all, every tier upgrade only provided a small boost to a player's Concentration standard.
If Silent Wonder didn't have any problems with her techniques, she could easily become an Advanced Master Alchemist as long as her mental strength reached a certain level.
Following which, Shifeng had Silent Wonder focus on researching the Droplet of Life Recipe in the Research Workshop. As for Shifeng, while waiting for the Cooldown to end, he promoted Candlelight's Shops to 3-star status, such as the Candlelight Shops in Dark Night City, Black Dragon City, Apocalypse City, and Twin Towers City.
The five 3-star Shops were located in five different locations. They would provide Candlelight with a lot of convenience in recruiting Lifestyle players and obtaining materials.
Moreover, with the five 3-star Shops, it wouldn't be long before Ling Yi's Lifestyle player base surpassed that of the various superpowers. Candlelight could then develop into a true Chamber of Commerce. It could then compete with the various superpowers' Chambers of Commerce in the various NPC cities. Rather than relying on Stone Forest City to attract large Guilds, Candlelight wouldn't have to rely on its temporary Residence in Stone Forest City to attract large Guilds.
However, if Candlelight wanted to become a competitive Chamber of Commerce and earn a lot of Coins, just having enough Lifestyle players wouldn't be enough. It also needed high-quality products.
It seems it's time to take a look at these forging designs. Shifeng glanced at the ancient parchment scrolls in his bag.
Aside from the materials and equipment the Sunset King had dropped, it had also dropped 14 forging designs and recipes, all of which were Master ranked. Aside from the Droplet of Life, the Sunset King had also dropped a set of forging designs.
The Crimson Sunset!
It was an Advanced Mana Set Equipment made up of a total of six forging designs!
Although it was only a Tier 2 Advanced Mana Set Equipment and couldn't compare to Level 100-plus Dark-Gold Set Equipment, it was still a piece of equipment that current players could only dream of. Furthermore, it was an Advanced Mana Set Equipment that players could use until they reached Level 120. In terms of Basic Attributes, it could rival Fine-Gold Set Equipment. It was definitely a top-tier set equipment that could help players reach Tier 3.
Thinking up to this point, Shifeng found a Basic Meditation Room and began to craft the Crimson Sunset.
Originally, he had planned to have A Melancholy Smile and the other Master Forgers craft the Crimson Sunset, but A Melancholy Smile and the other Master Forgers still needed to craft the Crimson Sunset. They didn't have the time to craft the Crimson Sunset. Moreover, Shifeng didn't need to create forging designs to become an Advanced Master Forger. Instead, he needed Forging Proficiency.
Set Equipment was the fastest way to increase one's Proficiency, not to mention Mana Set Equipment.
Mana Set Equipment really is complicated. It's no wonder why the various superpowers didn't manage to research it in the past. Shifeng could not help but take a deep breath after unsealing the Mana Set Equipment and inspecting the forging designs.
Crafting Level 100-plus Dark-Gold Set Equipment was already extremely difficult, but the Advanced Mana Set Equipment was several times more complicated. The forging techniques and techniques involved were incredibly high. Throughout Candlelight, less than three Master Forgers were capable of crafting the Advanced Mana Set Equipment. Most importantly, the Advanced Mana Set Equipment required a high degree of control over magic arrays.
Most likely, Master Forgers wouldn't be able to learn how to craft the Advanced Mana Set Equipment even after obtaining the forging designs. Even Shifeng had spent five hours learning how to craft the Advanced Mana Set Equipment.
"Now that I've grasped the basics, it's time to give it a try. However, the materials required to craft the Advanced Mana Set are quite expensive. If it were any other Guild, they'd likely go bankrupt." Shifeng could not help but smile bitterly as he looked at the required materials.
The Crimson Sunset's main materials were Mana Stones and Magic Crystals. Crafting a single Crimson Sunset Set required over 40 Mana Stones. If not for the Philosopher's Stone, which could synthesize Mana Stones, the Guild wouldn't have been able to craft more than a handful of Mana Stones.
Even so, the cost of crafting the Crimson Sunset Set Equipment was astronomical. If a Guild without a Magic Crystal vein obtained the Advanced Mana Set Equipment Design, it would most likely go bankrupt.
After Shifeng confirmed the required materials, he began to craft the Crimson Sunset Set Equipment.
The Crimson Sunset's equipment was like a single piece, and he had to craft six pieces simultaneously. If a player without high Concentration were in his place, they wouldn't be able to craft the Advanced Mana Set Equipment, even if they learned how to craft the Advanced Mana Set Equipment. Fortunately, Shifeng already possessed high Concentration. After reaching Tier 3, his Concentration standard had improved further.
However, due to insufficient magic arrays, he failed to craft the Advanced Mana Set Equipment during his first attempt.
As a result, the Advanced Mana Set Equipment during his second attempt was evaluated as a waste.
His third attempt was still a waste.
…
After six consecutive attempts, Shi Feng failed every single time. Even he felt a pang of heartache.
"I must succeed this time!" Gritting his teeth, Shifeng anxiously clicked to appraise the Crimson Sunset before him. If he failed again, he'd have no choice but to give up on crafting the Crimson Sunset.
As soon as Shifeng clicked the appraisal button, the six pieces of dark-red equipment on the stone platform suddenly released a colorful glow. The surrounding Mana then began to gather toward the six pieces of equipment.
System: Congratulations! You have crafted the Crimson Sunset. Forging Proficiency + 180. EXP + 1200000.
System: Congratulations! You have triggered the Blacksteel Insignia's effect, increasing the Crimson Sunset's Attributes.
