"About this mission …" Lu Li lowered his voice and asked Hachi Chan, "Is it possible for others to take on the mission?"
"How would I know?" Xiaoba Jiang thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Uncle Stark isn't a very easy person to get along with. I've seen him scold people all the time, and the missions he gives others are always dirty and tiring, so not many people look for him."
"Then what do you do?" Lu Li was curious.
"Just watch the fire for him. He even gave me a plate of dried fruit." The girl who kept the fire indicated that it was an easy job.
"What about the others?" Lu Li asked again.
"Washing ore, adding coal, molding … Oh, a lot of things anyway." Xiaoba Jiang counted with her fingers and found that the others really did a lot of things.
"Okay, I understand." Lu Li was dealt another blow.
People with high charm, like Xiaoba Jiang, only needed to symbolically watch the fire and eat snacks to pass the time. Those with low charm could only do dirty, tiring, and time-wasting work, and the rewards weren't generous. Perhaps normal people wouldn't choose to take on this Stark mission.
"In that case, let's disguise ourselves before we take on the mission. Ask Third Brother to send some people to confuse the other clubs." Lu Li didn't want the other clubs to be aware of this mission.
It was hard to keep this kind of thing a secret for long, but as long as it was kept secret for a minute longer, the other clubs would obviously be stuck for a minute longer.
Lu Li changed into a red set of equipment, the very showy kind.
This was a rare level-60 set of equipment he had recently found in the guild warehouse. This set of equipment didn't have any special attributes, but it was very different from his usual image, so he didn't have to worry about being recognized.
Stark's blacksmith shop, which no one had paid attention to in the past, was finally not doing bad business today.
At least five or six people entered his blacksmith shop at the same time. This blacksmith shop was located in a relatively remote place, so it was obviously not normal for five or six people to enter at the same time, especially when these five or six people were cowering like thieves.
"Behave naturally. Are you afraid that others won't know?" Lu Li was the second in line. He reminded the others to pay attention.
"Ahem." The first person in line was Weilan Haifeng. "Uncle Blacksmith, I'm an adventurer who participated in the war against the Zerg. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"A war between the Zergs? Trash like you? You're only dealing with a female Chongzi, right?" Blacksmith Stark was indeed very poisonous. The other party clearly did not offend him and even politely wanted to serve him, but he just did not have a good expression on his face.
"Haha, there are males and females. I don't have many skills, but I can do all the dirty work." Weilan Haifeng did not mind at all.
In fact, thinking about it, it was normal. He was always inseparable from Wander, and Wander was not even worth mentioning in front of him. Blacksmith Stark's poisonous tongue was not even worth mentioning in front of him. Weilan Haifeng had been influenced by his poisonous tongue for 20 years.
"What an annoying piece of trash. Go and help me smash all the coal blocks over there," Stark said in disgust as he pointed at a pile of coal in the corner.
No wonder no one asked him for a quest. This guy was too much.
"Okay." Weilan Haifeng took the hammer and went over to smash the coal blocks.
"Dear blacksmith, hello, I am …" Lu Li took a breath and stepped forward to stand in the place where Weilan Haifeng had just stood.
"I don't care what kind of bullsh * t you are. Get out of my way. Are your eyes growing on your butt?" Stark roared angrily. He waved the blacksmith hammer in his hand and almost hit Lu Li's head.
Charm was especially important in front of violent NPCs. Xiaoba Jiang's charm was through the sky, Weilan Haifeng's charm was normal, and Lu Li's charm was almost zero or even negative.
It did not hit Lu Li's head immediately because Lu Li was not an enemy unit. Otherwise, he would definitely be dead.
"Master, I'm actually a blacksmith too." Lu Li quickly took out his blacksmith hammer.
Cresso's Hammer (Special): Strength + 20, Forging Speed + 30%, Forging Success Rate + 20%, Grade + 1. Exclusive to Lu Li. Durability. This hammer was a superb blacksmith hammer, and it had an extraordinary origin. It represented the century-old glory of a human blacksmith family. Stark was a human blacksmith, and he did not seem to be illiterate, so he was immediately attracted to this hammer.
"Where did you steal this hammer?"
"Uh … I received the legacy of this hammer. Look, this is the equipment that I forged," Lu Li said as he took out a Perfect grade weapon and handed it over.
"Well, it seems that you are indeed a good lad." Stark had a bad temper and was proud and arrogant, but he was not really stupid. After Lu Li showed his capital, his attitude finally eased.
Weilan Haifeng, who was smashing coals at the side, almost burst into tears.
He had watched as Lu Li was despised, or at least more despised than he was. However, there was a twist in the situation. The idiot Lu Li took out that hammer and immediately turned the situation around.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Lu Li immediately took the opportunity to ask for a quest.
"I'm tired. Help me forge these equipment." Stark threw a few rough weapon blanks over, grabbed the wine barrel on the workbench, and sat down to drink leisurely.
Compared to smashing coals, at least Lu Li's was a technical job, so it was not as tiring.
The next few people also received quests, but they were scolded more miserably. Most of the tasks they received were dirty and tiring. One of them was even thrown a rag and asked to clean the entire workbench.
The reward for the first quest was an ore.
Even if they looked at Lu Li in a different light, he would only be rewarded with a piece of Mithril Ore, which was of a very low quality. At most, it would be worth a dozen silver coins. No wonder no one was willing to do this quest.
The second quest was also successfully received. Lu Li's quest was to sell these weapons at a high price.
This quest was actually very difficult because Stark's target price for these weapons was too high, and these weapons were limited by their materials and level. Even if Lu Li smashed them with his high-quality forging hammer, they would not be worth that much money.
Fortunately, Lu Li was rich and overbearing. He casually called someone from the guild and bought all the weapons on the spot.
He only lost a few gold coins.
The quest reward was as ridiculous as ever. It was only a level-60 silver weapon, which Lu Li rarely saw anymore. Only monsters in the wild and dungeon could drop these things. Sometimes, it would take up space even if he picked it up.
However, he received a third quest, which required Lu Li to help him dig some ores in the mountains. There were quite a lot of them.
The way to deal with it was similar to the second quest. He just had someone deliver it to him.
