Overlord War Bear and Joking Scholar were furious when they saw Shifeng's smile. They had taken Shifeng's smile to be a form of mockery and contempt, and they were extremely displeased.
However, Shifeng's smile was not a form of mockery. It was purely out of joy.
However, compared to the first time they met Shifeng, Overlord War Bear and Joking Scholar had become much more vigilant. They no longer dared to underestimate the other party.
To be able to take out so many Gold Coins in one go, even a ghost would not believe that Shifeng did not have a powerful backer. Only, they did not know what kind of backer this backer was.
Overlord War Bear's expression turned ugly when he failed to complete the task given to him by his Guild Leader. However, there was nothing he could do about it.
135 Gold. Even if World Dominators pooled all of their Gold Coins, they would not be able to match that amount.
Compared to Overlord War Bear, Joking Scholar's situation was much worse.
First, he had failed to complete the transaction. Now, after arriving at the Auction House, he had failed to purchase a single item. How was he supposed to explain this to Glorious Echo when he returned?
However, Shifeng was very grateful to Joking Scholar. It was all thanks to Joking Scholar's greed that he had obtained so many forging materials.
The reason why Shifeng was smiling was because the main materials required to produce the Arclight Shield were Mithril and Gold Ore. Shifeng could obtain Mithril, but Gold Ore was too rare. Even in the entire Starmoon Kingdom, not to mention White River City. Yet, Twilight Echo had given him plenty of Gold Ore, enough for him to produce many Arclight Shields. As for the other material, it was the Magic Crystal that dropped in the Team Dungeon SS. This item was not particularly valuable. Only, the drop-rate was relatively low, so it was not easy to mass-produce Arclight Shields.
In addition, the Arclight Shield's Attributes were extremely good, exceeding Shifeng's expectations. He could already imagine how popular the Arclight Shield would be.
[Arclight Shield] [Shield] (Fine-Gold Rank) Level 15 Equipment Requirement: Strength 90, Defense 460 Defense Rate 37% Strength + 15, Endurance + 25 Evasion + 8 Additional Passive Skill 1- Sound of Life: For every damage received, receive one stack of Power of Life, increasing maximum HP by 3%. Healing received is increased by 1% for 1 minute and can be stacked up to 10 times. Passive Skill 2- Refraction: Activates once every 30 seconds. Grants immunity to damage received once.
Setting aside the shield's extremely high Defense and Block Rate, just Sound of Life and Refraction, which increased maximum HP by 30%, would significantly increase an MT's resistance to attacks. Not to mention, the shield's Basic Attributes were excellent. It was definitely top-tier equipment.
If five or six MTs were to equip this Arclight Shield … Raiding a 50-man Normal Mode Team Dungeon was indeed possible.
"It's time to return." Shifeng was very satisfied with his trip to Blackwing City this time. One could say that he had reaped a bountiful harvest.
First, he earned a contract worth 50 million Credits. Following which, Shi Feng had recruited Shiuse Qiangwei into his team. Now, he had even obtained the Arclight Shield. Most importantly, Shiuse Qiangwei had brought over a hundred elite players with him. In an instant, the Shifeng's strength had soared. Now, the only problem left was how to digest these players.
"Over a hundred people. Shiuse Qiangwei has really helped me a lot. With this, I won't have to worry about not having enough people to raid the Demon's Castle." Shifeng felt that the Workshop alone was no longer enough. He needed to make some preparations and start the reservation plan in advance.
After the Shifeng left the Blackwing Auction House … He immediately mailed the 300 Gold to Shiuse Qiangwei. Following which, he returned to White River City. He planned to quietly wait for Shiuse Qiangwei and the others to arrive at the Starstreak Trading Firm.
However, the money sent by mail usually took half an hour to an hour to be received.
Hence, the Shifeng first headed to the Adventurer's Association.
Currently, none of the Guilds in White River City had a Guild Residence. Hence, the members of the various Guilds came to the Adventurer's Association to accept Guild Quests. Hence, the Adventurer's Association had become the second most lively place in White River City.
As soon as the Shifeng entered the Adventurer's Association, his communicator rang.
"It can't be so fast, right?" Shifeng initially thought that Shiuse Qiangwei was contacting him. However, when he saw that the ID displayed was actually Gentle Snow, he could not help but be slightly surprised. "Could it be about the Basic Mana Armor Kits again?"
Previously, Shifeng had used quite a lot of Basic Mana Armor Kits to exchange for several Advanced Whetstone Forging Designs for A Melancholy Smile and Cream Cocoa to learn. During this time, the two of them had become Intermediate Forging Apprentices and were currently on their way to becoming Advanced Forging Apprentices.
Shi Feng had to admit that the two of them were indeed future Master Forgers. Their improvement speed was extremely fast. Moreover, the more they forged, the higher their success rate. Currently, they were only forging Advanced Whetstones, yet their success rate was around 20%. They were much better than the forgers of other Guilds. Most likely, it would only be a few days before the two of them became Advanced Forging Apprentices, becoming true helpers to Shi Feng.
"Miss Snow, could it be that you have obtained a new Advanced Whetstone Forging Design?" Shifeng asked.
"Master Hei Yan, you really went to great lengths to hide it from me. You didn't even inform me of such an important matter. It really saddens me." Gentle Snow smiled faintly.
"Hide it from you? Miss Snow, you must be joking. I am very superficial. It is very easy for others to see through me, "Shifeng joked.
"Alright, stop pretending. Previously, you were in the limelight at the Blackwing Auction House. This matter has long since spread among the various first-rate Guilds. Every one of them wants to partner with you in purchasing the Arclight Shields," Gentle Snow said, chuckling. "After all is said and done, we are already old companions. You can at least sell them to me for a cheap price, right?"
"Miss Snow's information network is really fast." Shifeng smiled bitterly. "I can indeed sell some of the Arclight Shields to Miss Snow. However, you must pay with Coins or exchange them with the Magic Crystals you obtained from Team Dungeons."
"Magic Crystals … Although the SS Raid will drop this time, the drop-rate is extremely low. However, they have many uses. Let's just buy them with Coins. May I know how much Master Hei Yan is willing to pay?" Gentle Snow was very familiar with the Magic Crystals. Hence, she shook her head, unwilling to exchange for them.
"Alright, then. I won't cheat you, Miss Snow. As a Fine-Gold ranked shield, I believe you also know how precious the materials used to craft it are. Moreover, the production success rate is extremely low. Each Arclight Shield costs 25 Gold. No bargaining." Shifeng knew that Gentle Snow would not exchange for the shield.
"Twenty-five Gold! Even our entire Ouroboros does not have that much liquid capital right now. Can't you exchange it for Credits? How about 500,000 Credits for one? " Gentle Snow was similarly shocked. However, she also knew the difficulty of producing a Fine-Gold ranked shield. If it were any other forger, just the cost alone would most likely exceed that amount. However, it was clearly impossible for them to fork out 25 Gold to purchase the shield, unless their Guild stopped developing. However, at this stage of the game, not developing meant regressing. They absolutely could not stop developing.
However, right now, every Guild was vying to obtain the First Clear of a 50-man Team Dungeon. This Arclight Shield was an opportunity for them to seize the initiative. It could be said that it was a must-win item.
Faced with such a dilemma, Gentle Snow could only smile bitterly. There was nothing she could do.
"Alright, then. I'll exchange them with Magic Crystals." Gentle Snow felt very helpless. A dignified first-rate Guild like Ouroboros actually did not have as much money as an independent player. Hei Yan was simply a monster.
"Alright. The exchange rate is 1: 100. I'll notify you when I'm done producing the shield."
