Blackiron Dwarves, a group of stubborn people obsessed with forging. Their civilization was once incomparably glorious, and their traces could be found in countless pieces of Legendary Equipment.
Blackiron Dwarves' arms were as thick as thighs, and their muscles were as hard as rocks. In addition to their dark skin, many people would treat them as rocks at night and accidentally sit on them.
Of course, the consequences of this were severe. These Blackiron Dwarves hated it when others used them as stools.
Shifeng immediately walked towards the Dungeon.
This Dungeon was extremely hidden in the White Sand Ruins. In Shi Feng's previous life, many Guilds had only discovered this Dungeon after doing quests for a long time. They had also accepted many good quests from this Dungeon. Some of these quests even gave Mysterious-Iron Equipment. However, such quests usually required a team to complete.
Compared to these quests, the Blackiron Dwarves' Favorability was more important. This was also a secret that players only discovered after reaching Level 20.
This was because there was a Unique Quest here called "Steel Fortress." It required a certain degree of Favorability to obtain. Many players had missed out on this Unique Quest. Instead, an unknown, ordinary player had received this Unique Quest. Moreover, this player had even completed this Unique Quest, instantly becoming a celebrity that many Guilds wanted to recruit.
Walking up to the Dungeon's entrance, the two Elite Blackiron Dwarves only glanced at Shifeng before allowing him to enter.
The Dungeon's interior was very large. It was like an underground town, and Blackiron Dwarves were everywhere. Most of the streets were either Weapon and Equipment Shops or bars. There was very little entertainment here.
Shi Feng walked along the main street. After making several twists and turns, he arrived at a town hall made of steel. A bearded Level 30 Elite Town Mayor happily welcomed Shi Feng when he saw him enter the town. It had been a long time since an outsider had visited this town.
"Hello, adventurer. Welcome to Stonehammer Town. I am the Town Mayor, Blackbeard," Blackbeard said warmly.
"Hello, respected Lord Town Mayor. This is my first time here. I wonder how I can be of service to you?" Shifeng acted very respectfully, making it easier for the NPC to have a good impression of him.
Blackbeard stroked his big beard, thought for a moment, and said, "Adventurer, our town does need help. This area is getting hot and stuffy, and the water source is getting less and less. It's getting harder and harder for the town's residents to survive. I will pay the price. I hope you can help us get a large amount of water or something to relieve the heat."
System: Do you accept the quest "Blackbeard's Request"?
Shifeng smiled. That was exactly why he was here.
"I'm happy to help," the Shifeng agreed.
The most important thing in the entire Stonehammer Town was the Town Mayor's Favorability. However, the Town Mayor's Favorability wasn't easy to farm because the quests weren't easy to complete and the rewards were very low. Hence, many people had given up on the quest.
System: Quest "Blackbeard's Request" accepted. Provide 100 bags of water or 5 cups of iced drinks to Mayor Blackbeard.
Shifeng then took out the fruit juice that he had prepared beforehand.
Every time he gave five cups of fruit juice, he would receive 2 Copper Coins. Blackbeard's Favorability would also increase by 1 point, and he would also receive 100 EXP.
To a Level 8 or 9 player, 100 EXP was negligible. Killing a Level 10 Common Monster would give them around 200 EXP. Meanwhile, 100 bags of water would cost 5 Copper Coins in other towns. Even the cheapest iced drinks would cost 5 Copper Coins. This was equivalent to exchanging 3 Copper Coins for 100 EXP. Only a madman would do such a thing.
However, Shifeng was very happy to do so.
For his current level, 100 EXP was already quite a lot. It was even more than killing a Level 5 Common Monster.
Shifeng then continued to hand over Fruit Juice. After handing over 1,000 cups of Fruit Juice, he received a total of 400 Copper Coins, 200 Favorability, and 20,000 EXP. In an instant, he had risen to 69% of Level 4.
In less than ten minutes, he had leveled up so much. It was even faster than grinding Level 10 Elites.
After the Favorability reached 200 points, Shifeng started asking about the Unique Quest. However, Blackbeard kept his mouth shut, as if he didn't know anything.
"Sure enough, the Favorability isn't high enough." Shifeng had more or less guessed the reason. Hence, he took out the new type of fruit juice that Violet Cloud had made. "Lord Mayor, may I know how this fruit juice is?"
When Blackbeard saw the new type of fruit juice, he first took it and sniffed it. Immediately, his eyes glowed as he excitedly said, "This cup is more than the previous five cups. Adventurer, I wonder how many you have? I am willing to pay an additional 1 Copper Coin for it."
Shifeng could not help but be stunned when he saw Blackbeard's satisfied expression. He never thought that Violet Cloud's craftsmanship would be so good. She could even tempt an NPC to the point that he was willing to take the initiative to make a concession. This was extremely rare in God's Domain.
Since Blackbeard liked it, Shifeng would naturally continue to trade with him.
A total of 750 cups of the new type of fruit juice. Every cup was worth 3 Copper Coins, 1 Favorability, and 100 EXP. One could see how much Blackbeard liked this thing.
Just like that, Shifeng obtained 2,250 Copper Coins, 750 Favorability, and 75000 EXP. In an instant, Shifeng rose to 46% of Level 5. His leveling speed was like a rocket. Unfortunately, producing the new type of fruit juice required a lot of time and effort. Moreover, Violet Cloud still had other matters she needed to attend to. Otherwise, Shifeng really wanted to have Violet Cloud produce tens of thousands of cups and rush to Level 10.
With 950 Favorability points, Blackbeard finally opened his mouth. Moreover, he did not hide any secrets from Shi Feng. He completely treated Shi Feng as a close friend. He even gave Shi Feng the Stonehammer Key that the player from Shi Feng's previous life had never mentioned before.
System: You have accepted the Unique Quest "Steel Fortress Fortress." You need to head to Physis Canyon to search for the fallen Steel Fortress and obtain the Titan's Heart. Blackbeard will give you a generous reward.
With such a high Favorability, Shifeng could even purchase a Forging Design from Blackbeard.
After taking a quick look, Shifeng was shocked. There was a total of ten Forging Designs. Five were Common Forging Designs, three were Bronze Equipment Forging Designs, one was Mysterious-Iron Weapon Forging Design, and one was Mysterious-Iron Equipment Forging Design.
Blackbeard had taken out all of his family's assets!
These were all Level 8 to Level 10 Forging Designs.
Although the Bronze Equipment Forging Designs sold for 60 Silver Coins each, and the Mysterious-Iron Equipment Forging Designs sold for 1 Gold, 50 Silver Coins each, even if ordinary players saw them, they would definitely not be able to afford them.
Fortunately, during this period of time, Shi Feng had sold another three Glimmer Chestplate Forging Designs, earning him another 9 Gold Coins. Otherwise, he could only look at them with envy.
"Lord Mayor, I want these three Bronze Equipment Forging Designs and two Mysterious-Iron Equipment Forging Designs," Shifeng straightforwardly took out 4 Gold, 80 Silver Coins.
Unfortunately, these Forging Designs were bound to one's purchase. Otherwise, if he sold them, he could earn at least two or three times the amount of Gold Coins.
Even the worst Level 8 Bronze Equipment Forging Design would have an unimaginable effect on a Guild right now. After all, the highest leveled player in the Guild was only close to Level 6. Even so, there were still many people wearing Level 1 or Level 2 Common Equipment. By the time everyone reached Level 8, every member of the team would have a piece of Level 8 Bronze Equipment. Just thinking about it was frightening.
