Chapter 56

At this point, the defensive armor had changed significantly, with its style completely transformed and its color turned to a light gold, making it no longer the defensive armor it once was.

"Oh no," Shi Feng realized he had failed.

Previously, while forging the equipment, he had been so excited that he forged it however he wanted, completely deforming the appearance of the defensive armor, yet he felt quite good about it.

However, the appearance of this armor was still very handsome, and wearing it would certainly make one look mighty.

He then checked the data.

This time, the system took a full 10 seconds to analyze and come to a conclusion.

Unnamed, Bronze Plate Armor, Equipment Requirement: 12 Strength, Equipment Level: 3, Defense +23, Strength +3, Stamina +3, Health +120, Durability 35/35, Attached Ability: Healing Power, Healing Effect Increased by 10%, Limited to Shield Warrior, Guardian Knight.

System: Successful in forging an unknown piece of equipment, increased forging proficiency by 3 points, gained 1100 experience points.

System: Congratulations on being the first player in the Divine Realm to forge a new bronze equipment, gained 3000 experience points, rewarded with a Rune Hammer (Mithril level), forging success rate increased by 5%.

System: Please name this piece of equipment, and the player can engrave a personal mark on it.

Seeing these prompts, Shi Feng was slightly shocked. He didn't expect to accidentally transform the defensive armor and forge a new bronze equipment. His luck was really good. The attributes of this equipment had already reached the level of ordinary mithril equipment, but the materials were a bit lacking; otherwise, it would definitely be a mithril-level equipment.

In the Divine Realm, players can create equipment, but this is a very difficult task. Not only must they be very familiar with forging, but they must also have a deep understanding of various materials. After hundreds of trials, it is only then possible to forge a decent new piece of equipment.

Forgers who want to forge new equipment generally start only after reaching the Advanced Forger level. To become a Master Forger, one not only needs sufficient proficiency but must also forge three new mithril-level pieces of equipment and one new secret silver-level piece of equipment, to be promoted to Master Forger.

Because of the difficulty in forging new equipment, the number of players who can become Master Forgers is very rare.

And he had inadvertently forged a new bronze equipment, of course, with a significant contribution from the effect of the Forging Book.

"Since the armor has turned a light gold and emits a faint glow, let's call it the Faint Light Chestguard." Shi Feng directly confirmed the new name and then left a black flame mark on one corner of the equipment. This mark is equivalent to the forger's name. In the future, when others see this mark, they will know that the equipment was forged by a certain master, and it also serves as an anti-counterfeiting mark.

In an instant, the equipment's data changed.

Faint Light Chestguard, Bronze Plate Armor, Equipment Requirement: 12 Strength, Equipment Level: 3, Defense +23, Strength +3, Stamina +3, Health +120, Durability 35/35, Attached Ability: Healing Power, Healing Effect Increased by 10%, Limited to Shield Warrior, Guardian Knight.

On the right side of the Faint Light Chestguard, a faint black flame mark appeared, adding a touch of color to the Faint Light Chestguard.

System: Black Flame Mark registration successful. This mark is now bound to your game account, and others cannot use it.

System: Naming successful, automatically generated Faint Light Chestguard design blueprint. Players can draw the Faint Light Chestguard design blueprint themselves and provide it for others to learn forging.

Suddenly, a new section appeared in Shi Feng's system life bar, named Forging Blueprint, allowing players to create their own design blueprints.

Seeing this section, Shi Feng was overjoyed.

This is the benefit of original creation. As long as there are drawing blueprints and pens, one can create as many Faint Light Chestguard blueprints as desired. This is a privilege only available to original creators, and the blueprints are much more valuable than the equipment itself.

In the previous life, countless Master Forgers continuously researched various materials and used various methods to forge new equipment. Besides aiming to become a Grandmaster Forger, their main goal was to create original blueprints. This is what made these Master Forgers extremely wealthy, as creating blueprints is very easy, and one can produce dozens or even hundreds in a short time. Otherwise, forging equipment every day would be exhausting and yield limited results.

With the Faint Light blueprint, earning ten gold coins is no big deal, and selling it for thirty to forty gold coins is possible, especially since there are many players in the Baihe City area, and there are many guilds.

Shi Feng then continued to forge the Faint Light Chestguard, no longer forging the defensive armor. Both used the same materials, but the Faint Light Chestguard was more handsome and had better attached abilities.

Another benefit of original creation is that forging one's own created equipment increases the success rate by 10%, making it easier to attach abilities. As long as the reputation of the Faint Light Chestguard is established, there's no worry about the blueprints not selling well.

Time passed bit by bit.

Shi Feng was completely absorbed in forging equipment, counting money in his mind: one gold coin... two gold coins... three gold coins...

A pile of golden equipment filled the forging room.

When the ten hours of renting the forging room were up, the system issued a loud prompt, and Shi Feng suddenly realized that ten hours had passed.

The harvest of equipment was astonishing, with a total of 142 successful pieces of equipment, and the materials he had purchased were almost used up.

The attributes of these pieces of equipment varied, with differences in the healing effect: the worst was 5%, the best was 12%, with 76 pieces below 7%, 48 pieces between 7% and 9%, and 18 pieces between 10% and 12%, taking up most of Shi Feng's inventory.

At the same time, his forging proficiency had significantly increased, reaching 514 points, just halfway to becoming a Intermediate Forging Apprentice.

Shi Feng took out the teleportation orb and checked it. The stored experience points had reached nearly 150,000. With a few more hours of effort, he could reach 200,000 experience points to go to the Moonlight Grove.

This rate of gaining experience points was two to three times faster than the presidents of top-tier guilds.

Leaving the Forging Association, Shi Feng went to the auction house.

At this time, ordinary players should have reached level 3, and high-level players should have reached level 4, with only a few top players approaching level 5. After all, the experience points required to go from level 4 to level 5 are extremely high, about three to four times that of going from level 3 to level 4.

This was the perfect time to sell level 3 bronze equipment. The ten hours had allowed various guilds to accumulate a lot of wealth, making it a good opportunity to make a profit. In a short while, the prices would likely drop significantly.

Upon arriving at the auction house, Shi Feng noticed that the logistics personnel of various guilds had decreased significantly, and they seemed less enthusiastic about the defensive armor.

"Brother, why are there suddenly so few people in the auction house?" Shi Feng asked a guild logistics player.

The tall, glasses-wearing logistics player was slightly surprised and explained, "Have you been out killing monsters all this time? You don't even know about this big event."

"Ah, I just came back. I was out in the wild gathering materials for money. The defensive armor was so popular, and I wanted to come back and buy one," Shi Feng nodded.

"No wonder you don't know. Three hours ago, a player named 'One Hammer Deal' sold a lot of level 3 bronze plate armor. Although the attributes are slightly worse than the defensive armor, the price is super cheap, only 4 silver coins. He also said that if anyone contacts him for bulk orders, he can offer discounts. Naturally, all the guilds contacted him for orders, and it became extremely popular. Who would still wait here for the defensive armor?"
