By then, Wang Yu had already taken the materials from the bank and arrived at the Blacksmith store.
As Quan Zhen Sect’s headquarters was ruined, it would take them a week to repair the basic infrastructure. Hence, Wang Yu had to find a spot at the system Blacksmith store.
Blacksmith was the most popular secondary job in <<REBIRTH>>. Every day, the Blacksmith store would be exploding with people and players would wait at the entrance for a spot, causing a scaringly long queue.
Wang Yu waited for a long while but the queue did not move. At that moment, Wang Yu finally understood why everyone was desperate for a headquarters. In the past, Wang Yu never knew but after queuing for so long, he finally understood the convenience of having one.
“Brother Bull!” Just as Wang Yu was sweating from the wait, suddenly, a humming voice appeared from behind him.
Wang Yu looked back and saw Crotch Lord who was staring at him.
“Little Crotchy, what are you doing here?” Wang Yu asked Crotch Lord
“Hehe, I heard you were repairing your equipment so I came to get your help…” As Crotch Lord spoke, he took out his Shield of God and God’s Wood.
There was a success rate for installing God’s Wood onto equipment. The success rate for guru level Blacksmiths was only around 30% but as the current Blacksmith players were only of high level, the success rate was pathetically low.
Crotch Lord had heard Boson mention the impressiveness of Wang Yu’s [Magical Refining] skills so once he heard Wang Yu was repairing his weapons, he came over to ask for Wang Yu’s help to install it.
Regardless of how reliable Wang Yu was, he knew Wang Yu better than a stranger. More importantly, since he had to spend money for the service, he would rather give it to someone he knew.
Wang Yu looked at Crotch Lord’s shield and said with difficulty, “It is not that I don’t want to help but look… I don’t know when will I have to queue till.”
“That’s not an issue.” Crotch Lord walked to the front of a player’s table and took out a few gold coins and said, “Hi, friend. Could you do me a favour?”
Seeing how Crotch Lord was bribing for a space, the other players queuing were upset, “Who do you think you are? Queue behind! Even the Heavenly King will have to wait, ok?”
Crotch Lord looked at that person and pointed at the Yinyang Fish on his chest and self-introduced, “I am Crotch Lord from Quan Zhen Sect. May I know what your name is?”
“Erm…” The few men who were the loudest saw Crotch Lord’s symbol and immediately shut up then disappeared into the crowd.
Since Quan Zhen Sect defeated Void Blade, Quan Zhen Sect’s notoriety became more widespread. These lads here for the Blacksmith did not even have guild headquarters and for some, not even guilds, so they did not dare to offend them.
Of course, Crotch Lord did it nicely. If it was Ming Du, Spring Halo or any of those real devils, they would not hesitate to throw a ranged spell at them.
“Go ahead first. After you are done, then I will do mine…” After the players at the table heard Crotch Lord was from Quan Zhen Sect, they displayed their wisdom and gave him a spot without even taking the money.
Those queuing saw how Crotch Lord successfully cut the queue but did not complain at all. It was like this in games. Those who had power might not be always right but those who were weak were definitely wrong.
Crotch Lord forced the gold coin into the player and waved at Wang Yu who was still in the queue, “Come, there’s a space.”
“…”
Wang Yu lowered his head and awkwardly walked to the front of the spot. Wang Yu had never done something like that in front of so many people looking so he blushed under so many staring eyes.
The people behind saw the same Yinyang Fish on Wang Yu’s chest and his big, majestic build in cloth armour. It seemed as though they suddenly thought of something, their expressions turned into shock.
“Is this Great God Iron Bull?”
“This can’t be. Why would Great God Iron Bull need to queue for this?” To normal players, Quan Zhen Sect was extremely cruel… especially Wang Yu who was Quan Zhen Sect’s top fighter and Twilight City’s legend. They did not think that Wang Yu would be queuing behind them.
“Rubbish, why would the Great God Iron Bull need to earn skills for his secondary job?”
Secondary jobs were practiced by normal players and usually, top players would not waste time on it. Even if they do, their level would not be high and they were not focused on it.
Hearing how the players were discussing him, Wang Yu blushed even more…
“Pass me your shield first…” Wang Yu told Crotch Lord with a blush.
“How about yours?” Crotch Lord asked.
“You bought this spot so I should do yours first.” Wang Yu said, “After it’s done, leave first. I can’t stand this embarrassment…””…” Crotch Lord was speechless and took out his shield and God’s Wood again.
Wang Yu took the things from Crotch Lord and placed them on the table.
Seeing the God’s Wood on the table, everyone was in disbelief, “Damn, God’s Wood? Is he the legendary high-level Blacksmith?”
Players with Blacksmith as their secondary job had a keen eye for materials. Even Crotch Lord knew what a God’s Wood was, so they definitely did too.
God’s Wood was known for being expensive and even wealthy players did not dare to use it casually. Usually, they would look for a high-level Blacksmith to install it onto their equipment.
However, it was difficult to master a secondary job. Since the server was opened a long time ago, the number of high-level Blacksmiths could be counted on one hand, not more than five of them… Was one of them hidden in Quan Zhen Sect?
Everyone knew that the top medicine in the market was manufactured by Quan Zhen Sect and now, they even have a high-level Blacksmith. Amongst just a dozen of them, they had two players with high-level secondary jobs, a handful of extremely able experts and a legendary expert. How much more hidden potential did this small guild have?
“That’s odd… It is known that there are already three high-level Blacksmiths in the Orcs tribe of Darkness Faction and one if from Boundless Ocean. I’ve never heard that we have one in Twilight City.” A player grew suspicious.
“If he isn’t a high-level Blacksmith, how can you explain the God’s Wood on the table?” someone rebutted.
“Maybe Quan Zhen Sect can afford it…” someone guessed.
By then, Wang Yu already began his operations
He opened the [Magical Refining] page and put the shield in. The operation tab showed four options to “forge”, “fusion”, “reforge” and “craft”.
Initially, Wang Yu’s [Magical Refining] page only had three options. The last option came only after he learned the medium level engineering during the Atlanta quest which increased his [Magical Refining] to a high level.
Installing the God’s Wood belonged to the “craft” option so luckily Wang Yu had mastered the medium level engineering or else, he would not be able to help Crotch Lord.
He opened the craft option and put the God’s Wood on the table.
<System Notification: You are about to use high level [Magical Refining] skill to install the God’s Wood onto high-level item, Shield of God. Please choose the mode.>
At the same time, two options appeared in front of Wang Yu.
