Chapter 43

Holding the key to the intermediate forging room, Shi Feng walked to the second floor, ignoring the alluring young woman.

The first floor of the Forging Association was entirely filled with ordinary forging rooms, while the second floor was where the intermediate forging rooms were located.

Compared to the first floor, the second floor had far fewer people, with only NPCs moving around. No players would come here, and there were only twenty intermediate forging rooms, unlike the fifty ordinary forging rooms.

Entering the intermediate forging room, the entire space was larger and more exquisite, with better equipment than the ordinary forging rooms. In particular, the hammer and the flame used for forging were not simple at all.

Shi Feng casually picked up the silver-white hammer placed on the anvil.

Refined Hammer (Bronze Tier)

Forging Item: Increases success rate by 3% when forging items.

Requirement: 4 Strength.

Just getting this Refined Hammer was difficult. The most one could buy from NPCs was an ordinary iron hammer, which did not increase the success rate at all. As for taking this Refined Hammer away, it was impossible; it belonged to the forging room and could not be taken by players.

The flame here was also extraordinary. The burning color was not a reddish-yellow but a reddish-blue, not an ordinary flame but a strange fire.

Shi Feng then scanned it.

Crimson Demon Fire (1st Tier Strange Fire)

Special Item: Possesses extremely high temperature, making the smelting process more refined. It increases the success rate when refining magic potions and forging items.

Strange Fire is a powerful flame in the world, extremely rare, and divided into nine tiers based on its abilities. Tier 1 is the weakest, and Tier 9 is the strongest. Even a Tier 1 Strange Fire is not easily obtainable by players.

In the Divine Realm, due to the rarity of Strange Fire, its value is extremely high. Combined with the fact that both Alchemy and Forging require Strange Fire, its value is even more astonishing.

Once, a Tier 4 Strange Fire led to over a dozen top-tier guilds fighting over it. After the deaths of millions of players, it was finally obtained by the Overlord of the World. Soon after, one of Overlord of the World's alchemy masters advanced to the Master Alchemist rank, significantly increasing Overlord of the World's power.

Seeing the burning Strange Fire, Shi Feng was extremely envious. This was the desire of a forger.

While Shi Feng was deep in thought, he suddenly remembered something.

In the second month after the Divine Realm opened, the third-rate guild Divine Light had discovered a Tier 2 Strange Fire, Ice Blue Demon Flame, in the Hundred Ghost Forest, envied by many guilds. At that time, many life players signed up with Divine Light, causing its strength to suddenly increase, making it the dominant force in a small city. Many guilds secretly inquired, wanting to obtain the Strange Fire, and the Shadow Guild was no exception.

From inside Divine Light, they learned the location and method to obtain the Strange Fire. Unfortunately, this Strange Fire only appeared once and never again, leaving many guilds to waste their efforts.

Thinking of the Ice Blue Demon Flame, Shi Feng immediately had an idea. If he could obtain it, it would greatly benefit the future development of his guild and significantly aid his advancement as a forger.

However, to obtain the Ice Blue Demon Flame, Shi Feng needed to plan carefully and prepare a lot of things.

Afterward, Shi Feng did not waste any more time. He took out the design blueprint for the Guard Armor and chose to learn it.

System: You have learned how to forge the Guard Armor.

Shi Feng then placed all the materials on the stone table, took out the invaluable Forging Book, and began forging.

Shi Feng was a初级 forging apprentice, and his success rate for forging 0-level ordinary equipment was only 20%. After a successful forge, there was a 40% chance to gain 1 point of proficiency. If he were to forge a 3-level Bronze Guard Armor, the success rate would be less than 5%. After a successful forge, the proficiency for Bronze equipment would have an additional bonus, allowing him to gain 2 points with 100% certainty.

However, to advance to an intermediate forging apprentice, he needed 1000 points of proficiency, which required a massive amount of resources, something a single life player could not afford.

Guild life players all started by forging ordinary equipment. No guild would dare let these players start by forging Bronze equipment. Not only were there no blueprints, but even if there were, it would be too risky. The success rate was too low, and the materials were too expensive. A single failure would cost more than one silver coin, which no guild could afford, and they could not gather so many materials.

However, Shi Feng had no such concerns. He had the Philosopher's Stone, which provided him with abundant resources. Moreover, the materials for the Guard Armor were very cheap, requiring only 5 bottles of magic essence, 5 pieces of Bronze ore, and 20 pieces of Copper ore, costing only 80 copper, which was 20 copper less than other Bronze equipment. The equipment's attributes were excellent and very popular, so he did not have to worry about selling it.

Most importantly, he had the Forging Book.

The Forging Book increased the success rate of forging ordinary equipment by 70%, Bronze equipment by 50%, Black Iron equipment by 30%, Mithril equipment by 20%, Adamantite equipment by 10%, Dark Gold equipment by 5%, and Epic equipment by 1%.

Because of these attributes, players could easily advance to Master Forger without any obstacles.

A初级 apprentice already had a 20% success rate for forging ordinary equipment. Adding 70% from the Forging Book, the success rate became 90%. With the equipment in the intermediate forging room, the success rate was over 99%, unless one was a complete fool, failure was almost impossible.

The Forging Book was truly terrifying.

As for the Guard Armor, Shi Feng had a 5% success rate, which increased to 50% with the Forging Book, 3% with the equipment, and the effect of the Strange Fire, bringing the total to 60%. Even a 60% success rate for ordinary equipment would drive forging players crazy, let alone Bronze equipment, which was unimaginable for any forging player.

Following the blueprint, Shi Feng began to slowly forge the Guard Armor. He first placed the Copper and Bronze ores into the fire to smelt. After 5 minutes, the ores melted and gradually fused into a mass. He then added the magic essence and continued to smelt for another minute before removing the red-hot ore and placing it on the anvil. The intense heat made Shi Feng start to sweat, but he did not dare to be careless. The next step was crucial.

After preparing, Shi Feng picked up the Refined Hammer and began to strike the red-hot ore.

Clang, clang, clang...

Sparks flew, and the sound echoed throughout the spacious forging room.

Shi Feng was very careful with each strike.

In his previous life, he had not learned forging but had learned the gathering skill. However, he knew a lot about forging, having discussed it with a Master Forger, so he had some insights and would not make low-level mistakes.

After striking over a hundred times, Shi Feng felt it was perfect. He then wiped the sweat from his forehead and carefully clicked on the interface of the red-hot ore, pressing the completion button.

The red-hot ore began to change, transforming into a silver-gray armor in less than five seconds. It looked fine on the surface, but the success of forging an item was not just about appearance; it also depended on quality, which included the equipment's attributes and level.

Some poorly forged Bronze equipment might become ordinary or have subpar base attributes.

Thus, Shi Feng opened the armor's data to check if it was successful.
