Melancholic Smile had never seen a single one of the designs laid out on the stone forging table.
"This …" A Melancholy Smile was stupefied. She was indescribably shocked as she asked, "Guild Leader, am I dreaming?"
As a forger herself, she knew the value of these forging designs very well.
Forging designs that could be purchased from the Forging Association were not worth much. However, forging designs obtained from other places were very valuable. This was because forging designs generally had very low drop-rates. However, if one wanted to nurture a forger, ordinary forging designs were not enough. Hence, the prices of forging designs remained high. This was especially true for items that had very low drop-rates and were useful to the majority of players. These items' prices were dozens of times higher.
In addition, there was another type of forging design that was even more valuable. For example, the Basic Strengthened Armor Kit Forging Design. Currently, aside from the Horizon Alliance, there were only three such forging designs. Moreover, nobody knew where to grind for them. The Basic Strengthened Armor Kit Forging Design was hundreds of times more valuable than ordinary Epic Equipment.
A Melancholy Smile had learned practically every forging design available. Even if she had not, she still had a general understanding of them.
However, she had never seen or heard of any of the forging designs on the table before. Even if she sold all of Candlelight, she would not be able to afford them.
A Melancholy Smile casually glanced at the forging designs on the table. Suddenly, her eyes shone with a brilliant light.
This was because the items produced on these forging designs were what current players needed the most.
"Most of these forging designs are Light Stone Forging Designs. There are also some that can be used to produce Level 25 to Level 30 Mysterious-Iron and Secret-Silver Equipment. Advanced Forging Apprentices can freely learn the Light Stone Forging Designs," Shifeng said, smiling. "However, only the three of you can learn these equipment forging designs. In addition, you can leave some as a reward for the members who become forgers. However, all members who wish to learn these forging designs will have to sign a new contract. If you wish to leave the Horizon Alliance, you must compensate 20 times the loss of the forging designs. If Overwhelming Smile wishes to poach you, feel free to do so. "
Shi Feng had long since guessed that Overwhelming Smile would try to poach him.
Benefits could move one's heart!
Not to mention, these Forging Apprentices wanted to support their families. Overwhelming Smile had offered an extremely high premium, and if someone was willing to compensate them, it was only natural that many of them would be tempted.
Previously, Shifeng had repeatedly warned A Melancholy Smile to be careful with their selection. It was not to prevent these people from leaving, but to let A Melancholy Smile know the severity of the situation.
Even the gods couldn't see through people's hearts. What more mortals?
Only by experiencing wind and rain could one grow.
There were many things that were useless to just talk about. One would only know after experiencing it personally. Now that he had experienced A Melancholy Smile for himself, he would be more thorough in choosing people in the future.
Right now, he had a large number of Light Stone Forging Designs in his possession. If Overwhelming Smile was willing to pay the price to poach him, Shifeng would definitely welcome them. Light Stone Forging Designs were very common. In the past, a single Light Stone Forging Design only cost a few gold coins. Moreover, this was in a situation where the average level of players was Level 45, so it was not very valuable.
It was only because players were not yet at a high enough level that they were unable to obtain it. Hence, it was worth quite a bit of money right now. Based on initial estimates, it was worth several dozen Gold Coins. If Overwhelming Smile poached him …
Shifeng would definitely welcome such an offer.
After all, if he wanted to obtain one, he could obtain a large number of Light Stones at any time. That way, he would not have to wait for the profits from the Light Stones. If Overwhelming Smile poached a Light Stone Forging Design, he could earn a large sum of Credits. He could become rich just by selling Advanced Forging Apprentices. Such a good deal could not be found anywhere. How could he not like it?
"Guild Leader. This time, I will be careful with my selection. " A Melancholy Smile felt an indescribable excitement as he looked at the table of Light Stone Forging Designs. However, he was still the happiest about Shifeng's forgiveness and encouragement.
"It's fine. Just pick anyone you want. It would be best if they were someone who already had the intention to join Overwhelming Smile. I want Overwhelming Smile to poach them. Moreover, the more, the better. Otherwise, how am I supposed to make money?" Shifeng said, chuckling as he shook his head.
"But …" A Melancholy Smile had originally intended to persuade Shi Feng. However, when he saw the forging designs on the table, he immediately understood Shi Feng's intentions. "Then, Guild Leader, I'll get to it right away."
To others, the Light Stone Forging Designs were treasures. However, judging by Shifeng's attitude, they were clearly not that valuable. Only, others did not know this. If they did not make a fortune from Overwhelming Smile, how would they be able to live up to their "conscience?"
A short moment later, A Melancholy Smile selected three Advanced Forging Apprentices. Among them, two were people who had a great desire to join Overwhelming Smile. Only, they were currently waiting for the right price. A Melancholy Smile had given them this opportunity.
In reality, there were still quite a few people who only wanted the Light Stone Forging Designs to mislead others into thinking that they were precious. They could not allow too many people to learn the Light Stone Forging Designs at once.
As long as the two Advanced Forging Apprentices learned the production method of the Light Stone, their value would immediately multiply. In addition, these two Advanced Forging Apprentices were very willing. Naturally, Overwhelming Smile would do its best to poach them. Not only would this deal a blow to Candlelight, but it would also poach the "talents" that the Candlelight Trading Firm valued.
While A Melancholy Smile was making arrangements for the Light Stones, Shifeng arrived at his personal forging room. In every Candlelight, Shifeng had set up a private forging room. Aside from himself, no one else was allowed to enter this forging room. This was mainly to prevent him from having any urgent matters that required his forging room to be occupied.
Inside the quiet forging room, Shifeng carefully retrieved the Shenjing Crystal Ball from his bag.
No matter how one looked at it, it was just an ordinary crystal ball. However, the Orc King Tresik had sacrificed hundreds of thousands of his subordinates in order to obtain this treasure. Moreover, this treasure had even killed a Tier 4 Sky Knight who had learned a Forbidden Skill. Its value was self-evident.
"Just what is this item used for?" After observing the crystal ball for some time, Shifeng could not find anything special about it.
The information displayed on the crystal ball was that it was an ordinary item in Shenjing. Aside from that, there was no other information. It was not in an unknown or unidentified status.
"Could there be some hidden information?" The more Shifeng thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
In God's Domain, there were many powerful items that appeared ordinary. In reality, however, they were earth-shattering.
In Shi Feng's previous life, quite a few people had gotten lucky. They had only purchased a tattered set of armor at a market, only to discover that it was indeed an Epic ranked set of armor. Such situations often happened in God's Domain. Even if everyone had long since noticed such a situation, it would not change.
Many things could not be explained clearly. Only by triggering certain special conditions could a treasure's true value be revealed.
Following which, Shifeng used Omniscient Eyes to observe the crystal ball.
After more than 30 seconds, there was no reaction. He did not discover anything special about the crystal ball.
"Is my Identification Skill not high enough?" Shifeng was confused. "That can't be right. I remember Xia Lian saying that the Golden Stigmata's Omniscient Eyes is the second-most powerful Identification Skill. Does it require something else to activate Shenjing's true function?"
Shifeng suddenly had the urge to vomit blood.
After going through so much trouble, he still could not use the crystal ball. He needed to fulfill certain conditions to activate it. Yet, there were no notifications. This was simply infuriating.
"Huh? Why does this item look so similar to the blue crystal ball I obtained from the Eternal Temple?" Currently, Shi Feng had a photographic memory. As for the dark-blue crystal ball, he was also helpless against it. Both were crystal balls, and both were related to Gods. Even if he were beaten to death, he wouldn't believe that there was no connection between them.
