“…” Hearing everyone’s cheering made Wang Yu look awkwardly at the real Divine Smith, Simba, who was sitting at a corner.
To others, Simba was a silent NPC but Wang Yu knew his true identity.
Unexpectedly, Simba the Divine Smith took the initiative and smiled at Wang Yu then Wang Yu received a system notification.
<System Notification: You have received a required number of Blacksmiths’ acknowledgement and unlocked a hidden achievement, “Divine Smith’s Smile” and attained the title, “Divine Smith”.>
Divine Smith (Special Title)
Strength +50
Vitality +50
Agility -25
Intelligence -25
Special effect: The chances of forged equipment’ level increase +20%.
The achievement system was also a specialty of online games. Usual achievements could be unlocked after reaching the requirements set by the system but the achievement for “Divine Smith” needed other players’ cooperation. In comparison, it felt more genuine.
The Divine Smith title had pretty good attributes and another 20% chance in possible level increases. A 20% chance was very impressive to a Blacksmith as after all, even a guru level forgemaster’s chances of forged equipment levelling up was only 30%. In addition to the 20%, it was as good as for every two items, one would be levelled up.
Evidently, this attribute was important.
“Brother Bull, I really don’t know how to thank you.” Crotch Lord took the shield and saw that the Shield of God’s level requirement was level 45. He felt very emotional and wanted to give Wang Yu a tight hug.
Wang Yu said, “It’s not a big deal. If I wasn’t unfamiliar at the beginning, you would not have wasted those two pieces.”
“No… Brother Bull, I am already very satisfied to have three pieces installed… I am just two levels away. I just need to work harder and I will be able to equip it in a few days.” Crotch Lord said excitedly.
“Yup, quickly level up then. I need to repair my weapons.” As he spoke, Wang Yu took out his broken pole and carefully put it on the table then began to take the ingredients.
Wang Yu already enquired at Hermit’s and understood that it was very simple to repair weapons. He just needed to open the forge page and choose the repair option then put the broken weapons and ingredients in. The system will then automatically turn it into a new weapon.
However, just then, Simba the Divine Smith who was in a corner said, “So many great materials. What a waste to not make use of them.”
“???” Wang Yu hurriedly stopped and turned around to ask, “Master, don’t you know how to repair my weapon?”
Simba smiled and said, “Hehe, I really don’t know how to repair your weapon but to repair a weapon with these materials, don’t you think that it is a waste?”
“Erm…” Wang Yu rubbed his nose awkwardly as he looked at his bag of materials.
All these rare materials were from Evil Rampage who collected them from three hundred main cities. It was already excessive to forge a holy weapon. To use them just for repairing a weapon would a waste of treasure.
“Initially, I should not interfere in your affairs but since you have the “Divine Smith” title, you can’t humiliate this title.” Simba slowly asked, “Do you know what’s the essence of a “Divine Smith”?”
Wang Yu silently shook his head. Wang Yu was not even qualified as a Blacksmith, much less a Divine Smith.
Simba said, “The essence of a Divine Smith is to utilise materials to their full potential and use the simplest materials to make outstanding weapons. My teacher used iron ore and flax to make a growable god-grade weapon.”
“God-grade weapon?!” Wang Yu was surprised at what he heard.
Iron ore and flax were the lowest grade materials and yet someone could use these two to make a god-grade weapon while Wang Yu used rare materials to repair a weapon. They were both Divine Smiths but obviously, Wang Yu was lacking very much.
“Yes, and it is exactly your “Martial Artist’s Regret!” Martial God himself experienced countless wars which exceeded what a god-grade weapon meant. However, this weapon’s materials included iron ore so obviously it would shatter.”
“Oh…” Wang Yu detailedly dissected Simba’s words then asked, “Do you mean I should reforge this weapon?”
“Yes! When I saw this weapon for the first time, I thought that if its main material was not black iron ore, how strong would it be… Although you can’t match up to my teacher, young man, I have faith in you.” Simba nodded at Wang Yu in satisfaction.
Hearing what Simba said, Wang Yu quickly placed the broken pole into the reforge column.
Then the reforge column had an extra row of boxes for materials.
The main material spot required a metal better than iron ore while the other material boxes did not have requirements.
Just as what Simba said, the Martial Artist’s Regret was indeed made of iron ore…
Wang Yu did not believe that he could reach the Simba’s teacher’s standards so he did not throw iron ore in as a weapon’s attributes were directly related to its materials. What if he added iron ore and the Martial Artist’s Regret reforged into a level weapon? Who could he blame?
At this thought, Wang Yu put in a set of “Star Iron” into the main material box.
Star Iron was a rare iron and usual players put them one by one when forging weapons. Now that Wang Yu put in an entire set as the main material, his extravagance would be envied by everyone else.
After putting in the main material, the reforge button lit up but the row of material boxes below the main material did not go dark. This meant that he could still add more materials.
Wang Yu naturally did not lack materials. Under usual circumstances, the more materials added, the better the equipment’s attributes. Hence, Wang Yu mindlessly put in all the materials in his bag.
Just then, the material column saw a sign appear with a notification below: Please put the sacrificial offerings in.
Seeing that, Wang Yu took off the legendary ring, Martial Artist’s Glory, from his finger and put it there.
Martial Artist’s Glory might be a legendary equipment but its attributes were long outdated. Wang Yu used it as a day-to-day portable warehouse so since reforging weapons’ level was determined by the sacrificial offerings, why not shift the Martial Artist’s Glory’s level onto Martial Artist’s Regret?
It was easy to be negatively influenced. Wang Yu hung out with Quan Zhen Sect for so long so he was used to exploiting the system’s loopholes. The system was not stupid too. After Wang Yu put the ring in, the system notified once more: Sacrificial offering is not a complete item. If an incomplete equipment is made, the system will not be responsible.
“…” Wang Yu was speechless. He took out the ring then searched his bag and took out a dagger to place it there.
