My players are so fierce.

Chapter 220 219. The swordsmith’s way of making money
The newly opened plot force "Blood Rat Gang" now only has four people including Dorothy, and as soon as they set up their stall outside the entrance to Sewer No. [-], there were more than a dozen players who had been waiting for them. Come up.

These are guys who are preparing to take the route of thieves and stalkers. They have been eager to get similar career changes before, but this damn game has not launched the stealth gameplay until now, which is really disappointing!

Pooh!
Very poor game experience!

However, the young players came excitedly, but all of them came back disappointed, because the stealth assassin in this ghost game seemed to be a little bit different from the image they imagined of killing one person in ten steps without touching a leaf.

"What? What did you say? Stealth? Yes, I can sneak, but the visual blocking effect you mentioned is not something that an ordinary professional like you can learn! If you want to be so skillful in summoning shadow covering, at least You also need to reach the Black Iron level."

"I can also teach pickpocket skills, but shouldn't I practice this thing? If you steal people's wallets on the street if you are not good at it, you will be beaten to death!

Now, there's a pot over there, do you see it?
After the sand is heated, use two fingers to pick it out. If you succeed once, you will be considered a beginner. Then practice using your fingers to pick up soap in a basin of hot water. "

"Who is throwing flash powder? It's like throwing a smoke bomb. The technique is so poor!"

The four members of the Blood Rat Gang were quite exhausted by the endless questions from the players. It was not until this moment that Ms. Dorothy realized what kind of hot potato she had picked up.

Her head hurt from the players' bizarre requests, and she remembered the skills she had learned in the "Basic Civil Servant Course" before. She simply shouted to make everyone around her quiet down, and then clumsily used the calculation orb distributed in her hand to They sent out daily tasks to exterminate ghouls.

Want to learn skills?
no problem!
First bring me ten sets of ghoul teeth and claws.

With this move, the four members of the Blood Rat Gang finally got a moment of peace.

After the noisy little players left, Dorothy sat tiredly on the barrel and said angrily to the three subordinates who were looking at her:
"What are you looking at? Get to work quickly! Put up our camp first. Daisy, when they come back later, you will teach them how to shadow walk. Freeman, you will teach these guys how to steal bags and scratch pockets. , Old Pete taught them search and disguise.

After they all learned it, I taught them how to connect with the shadows.

I don't know where these rookies heard that they can sneak into the shadows and disappear suddenly. Damn, that kind of advanced technique has only been heard of by shadow elves, but it took me several years to learn it, okay? "

Dorothy complained harshly, but the work still had to be done.

While he was instructing his three subordinates to do things, he unexpectedly saw a guy wrapped tightly in black cloth walking towards him along the wall.

This outfit directly amused Miss Razor.

"Hey, that one over there, are you dressed like this for fear that others won't notice you in the crowd? You've read too many third-rate knight novels, right?
Get rid of your unlucky outfit now. "

She sat on the barrel and said to the little player who was stunned in an old-fashioned way:
"The first thing you need to do if you want to be a thief is to learn to disguise, but it is definitely not your kind of disguise. I suggest you go to the street and see what kind of ordinary people are, and then you can imitate him and pretend to be like him.

While others will never notice you, you are just starting out in the thief trade.

In our line of work, the lower the sense of presence, the better. "

"Ow."

The little player is still very obedient.

After Dorothy finished speaking, he quickly took off his "night clothes", revealing the novice retinue leather armor he was wearing.

This guy's face is quite tender, he is very young, but he seems to be very resistant to contact with others, his eyes are always wandering and he dare not look at Dorothy.

"That can't be done."

The eldest sister of the Blood Rat Gang shook her head for the first time and said:

"Your posture is very suitable for being a thief, but our way of thieves is not like this. Come on, hold your chest up and raise your head. Tell me what your name is?"

"Frostfang Claws."

The little player replied honestly, but he obviously kept it to himself.

Judging from the mind microphone plug-in plugged into the computing orb, it can be seen that this guy is also a guy with a small fortune. There are still only a few young players who can spend 20 gold coins to buy a plug-in when they first enter the game.

"You want to be a thief?"

Dorothy asked again, and the latter nodded vigorously.

"First get the teeth and claws of the ghouls, and bring them back to me to prove your determination and potential. Of course, as a thief, you can't just think about fighting, so you can also try to steal among the ghouls on the third floor of the sewer. Get out of the wooden box left there by our Rat Gang.”

Miss Razor waved her hand and said:

"I left a lot of things there when I was in a hurry. If you can bring them back, it means you are talented in this business. But I want to tell you, stealing things from the ghouls is much more dangerous than fighting head-on. Many, those guys are sensitive to smells and life.

Weigh it yourself. "

"Can I just take one?"

Frostfang Claw asked softly, and Dorothy nodded.

She thought for a while and took off a very special small wooden sign from her waist. It was an identity mark carved in the shape of a mouse.

she says:

"Some of the ghouls on the third floor of the sewers carry this thing. This proves that they were all members of the Rat Gang. It is difficult for me to collect their corpses. But if you can bring back an identity tag, I can also Consider that you have completed the task of joining the gang.

If you stole it back, I will personally teach you how to be a thief, but I'll say it first.

This is basically asking you to die."

"Okay, I'll try it."

When the little player saw that he had triggered a hidden mission, he immediately became energetic. He turned around and ran out before Dorothy could speak. Ms. Razor shook her head.

She has seen many reckless Transians before, but this is the first time she has seen one as reckless as the one in front of her. However, the language of these guys is so strange. It is not the language of mountain people at all!
Dorothy slandered in her heart:
"I have traveled across the continent, and I also escaped pursuit in the woods of the mountain people. If these guys are really mountain people, I will cut off their heads and give them to that cunning vampire lord. Where did he find these fakes? "
-
"Oh, man! This knife on you is interesting. Where did it come from?"

Happy Stick, who had wrapped himself tightly, was riding his tall horse up and down the street. He was about to go to the library of the Blood Vulture Corridor to look for information about the "Secret Treasure of Transia", but unexpectedly saw a The bald new player is carrying a very exaggerated-looking knife on his back to move wood on the duster's construction site.

It's a bit miserable to say.

However, new players who are new to the game are short of money, so it is a good choice to come to the construction site to move bricks to earn some extra money while brushing up their character levels.

But the weapon behind this guy made Happy Stick interested.

As an old player who first entered the game, he had never seen such an obviously "impractical" weapon near Scarlet Castle. Brother Bang vaguely remembered that he had seen similar stuff in a corner of the Internet.

It looks like a weapon from a strange comic book.
"Ha, you also saw my wind-pulling weapon, right? Brother Bang."

Seeing Happy Stick being attracted by his own weapon, the new player with the ID name "Big Shark with Kind Eyes and Kind Eyes" laughed proudly with his hands on his hips. He proudly introduced:
"Isn't my giant shark knife strong and powerful? I spent one gold coin to order it! It matches my appearance perfectly, right?"

"Wait a minute, I remember where I saw it. You're a jerk!"

Happy Stick took a step back hesitantly. He stared at the slightly crazy bald player in front of him and said:

"Where did you order the weapon? Is it solid? Are you sure you, a newbie in the game, can lift it? It's as tall as you!"

"It's a bit heavy, but it doesn't matter. Now that I can't swing it, I'll just focus on exercising. As long as I pass the black iron trial, I will definitely be able to wield it and kill everyone!"

The bald player curled his lips and said something unwillingly, but ended up giving the happy stick a try.Did this brother spend money to buy himself a "fashion item" that he doesn't even need?

"You haven't told me where you ordered the weapons?"

Happy Stick asked, and Uncle Shark, who was busy moving wood, pointed to the camp and said:

"There are two brothers over there who have opened a blacksmith shop. They opened their business yesterday. They are cheaper than what NPC sells and they can also customize the shape. Not just me, many brothers have ordered from them."

"Oh? Have you finally enlightened your brother who has a career in life?"

Happy Stick immediately became interested, bid farewell to Uncle Shark who was carrying bricks, mounted his horse and headed towards the camp outside the city. As a result, he saw a few people surrounding a tent from a distance, and some people were trading:

"Man, you can customize weapons, right? Give me Frostmourne!" "Don't make trouble, that's a two-handed sword. You can't lift it with a solid thing. Get another one."

"Okay, would it be a problem to get a Yan Demon Sword?"

"Well, that's no problem. Pay the deposit next to me! Pick it up in four days. Do you want to bring decorations and scabbards? If so, add an extra gold coin."

"I want a 'Zangetsu'!"

"If you go to the back and queue up, why do you try to imitate others and jump in line?"

A group of new players were noisy, which made Happy Stick sigh that these skilled people could make a job anywhere. He dismounted and walked to the tent, casually grabbing a handful of curry that the two blacksmith players had just made. I looked at the stick in my hand.

As soon as the item identification started, Brother Bang quickly lost interest.

It's a standard recruit-level gadget. There's nothing surprising in terms of workmanship or quality. The only advantage is its unique shape and beautiful Damascus pattern.

However, this is indeed better than the retinue sword used by new players now, because this thing has two more terms: "sturdiness and durability" and "easy maintenance" than the whiteboard equipment.

"Brother, are your prices a little low?"

After the players who customized weapons left, Brother Bang walked into the tent and said to the two professional players who were busy around the anvil:

"I think for these two extra entries, if you set a price of 3 gold coins, someone will buy it."

"Go, go, go! Where did the profiteer come from?"

The "Hundred Forged Horse", whose face was covered in black and gray due to blacksmithing, waved his hands impatiently and said:

"Brothers are busy improving their blacksmithing proficiency. The purpose of selling things is to provide some benefits to the brothers. Besides, these iron ingots used to upgrade skills are owned by the camp. We would like to sell them more expensively, but the NPC won't let us.

If you don't want to decide on a weapon, just go ahead. I have an apprentice with me, so I don't have time to chat with you. "

"I'll order it, who's to say not to order it?"

Happy Stick rolled his eyes, took out a small bag of gold coins from his psychic bag and threw it on the table next to him. He said to the two manufacturing players in front of him who were obsessed with forging knives and had several NPC apprentices:
"I plan to form a guild, and I just took the opportunity to give my brothers a batch of standard weapons."

"Yo, rich man."

The "Master of Broken Knife" next to him picked up the small bag, glanced at it, and said:
"What style do you plan to order? And we have a lot of orders now. You probably have to wait half a month to get the goods."

"I'm in no hurry."

Brother Bang said with a smile:
"And I don't want these blank slates for novices. Can you make exquisite weapons with special terms?"

After saying this, the two guys who were good at forging knives in real life and became even more comfortable in the game immediately looked at each other.

They had the look of "Finally met Kaizi" on their faces.

Master Duandao rubbed his hands and enthusiastically invited Brother Bang to the tent next to him. He said:
"To be honest, brother, my brother and I are also studying the manufacturing system in this game. We discovered that in order to forge the equipment of this special entry, we need to add some special materials to it.

such!

You bring the materials we need and we only charge the labor fee. "

After saying that, under Happy Stick's dumbfounded gaze, a task box suddenly popped up in front of his eyes.

[Order mission·'The Pursuit of Seiko' has been triggered!

Mission content: The official blacksmith of Scarlet Castle, "Master Broken Knife", requires you to help him collect a series of rare materials to forge customized weapons for you. The list of requirements is as follows.
Mission time limit: 48 hours.

Mission reward: Customized exquisite weapon X10, which can only be collected after the forging is completed. 】

"!!!"

Brother Bang widened his eyes and looked at the smiling Master Broken Knife in front of him. He screamed:
"Can you send tasks to other players? This is really outrageous!"

"Hey, what's so surprising about this? This is our 'unique benefit' for manufacturing players."

Master Broken Knife waved his hand and said:

"Brother, I stay in this blacksmith shop all day long and have no interest in fighting and killing. How can I have time to go out to level up and look for materials? Isn't this exactly what I need help from you combat professionals?

Let’s just say it, you get the materials back and we’ll help you make exquisite weapons, which will also increase your proficiency.

Hey, kill two birds with one stone. "

"and many more!"

This was the first time Happy Stick knew about the special mechanism of manufacturing players. He quickly asked in confusion:
"But if you don't use the light rush skill to defeat monsters, what will you do in the Black Iron Trial?"

"Oh, that's a trial only for your combat profession. We craftsmen don't pursue these. Our trial is called the 'Craft Trial'."

Master Broken Knife explained:
“It can be triggered after the blacksmith profession reaches level 10. The requirement is to independently and continuously make three exquisitely crafted veteran weapons with more than three special entries.

Moreover, there is no conflict between manufacturing and combat occupations. Each person has three occupation slots. If you get tired of making things, just go out and fight monsters.

Anyway, I approve of the freedom of this game.

By the way, will you accept my mission?Also, what style of weapons are you planning to order for your guild members?Want a fantasy style, or a more practical classic?Do you want me to recommend it to you? "

"No need, just Kabbah."

Happy Stick took the order and then said something. The result made Master Broken Knife's eyes light up, and he immediately knew that this person had an extraordinary background.

He whispered:

"Want a classic model or a commemorative model? I told you in advance that the quality of the iron ingots provided by the camp is average, so even if it is a fine workmanship, don't expect it to be as durable as the original.

In addition, you have to pay extra for commemorative money!
And the waiting time will be longer. After all, the special anti-rust treatment and the handle are more troublesome to make. My brother and I have to get some special tools in the game before we can start working. "

"Of course it would be better if you could make a commemorative one! Money is not an issue. You can't buy it in reality anyway. You can just play it in the game."

Brother Bang's eyes lit up.

Then he looked at Master Broken Knife with strange eyes, and with a sense of awe, he whispered:
"Brother, what do you do in real life? Listen to what you mean, do you have commemorative money in hand? Do you want to take action?"

"Oh, I'm not very talented. I have a small knife company and I just make a living."

Master Broken Knife grinned, waved his hand and said:
"It is available in stock, but I'm afraid you can't afford the price. Collectors who don't specialize in this game don't need to be taken advantage of in reality. Anyway, this game is so real, so just play it here.

My brother and I are going to start replicating classic knives in a while. How about ordering one in advance?
Seeing as you are a kindred spirit, we can easily negotiate the price. "

"Row!"

Happy Stick thought for a while and said:

"First let's take the Imperial Command Sword."

"It's a piece of cake, Chenghui deposit is 30 RMB, full payment is 100 RMB, pick up in two months, guaranteed quality is above Seiko Veteran"

"Damn! Why don't you go grab the money? I'm making money so fast that I almost want to become a blacksmith."

"Okay, my brother and I also have apprentices, and we have to pay 10 gold coins for tuition. Let's start now? Don't think it's too expensive. Does Mrs. Shui know? She is a famous fashion designer, and she was born with a 'master tailor' 'Speciality, the three tailor NPCs in the camp are now apprentices to her, and she can also receive special allowances from the administration office.

Alas, as expected, knowledge is power! "
