Chapter 57

"Is it really a one-shot deal?" Shi Feng wanted to confirm again.

"Exactly, he even posted a thread on the official forum, accusing the unscrupulous blacksmith who forged the Guard Armor. The thread has over seven million views, making him a big name in Baihe City. I heard that many large guilds have extended olive branches, offering high prices to recruit him." The logistics player said with a look of envy, wishing he could become a one-shot deal himself and live a life of luxury and beauty.

Shi Feng just smiled, turned around, and walked to an empty seat on the other side, sitting down and bringing up the official forum.

He wanted to take a good look at this one-shot deal who almost tricked him.

In the previous life, One-Shot Deal didn't appear so quickly. Before being recruited by Shadow, he played Divine Realm with dozens of classmates. With their support and some lucky encounters, he became a mid-level blacksmith apprentice and met Shadow's upper management. At that time, mid-level blacksmith apprentices were rare, and the bronze equipment they forged was very popular. Shadow wanted a piece of the pie, so they spent a lot of money hiring One-Shot Deal. With Shadow's continuous support, One-Shot Deal became a well-known blacksmith, making a lot of money for Shadow.

With the forging talent and Shadow's strong support, One-Shot Deal became a master blacksmith. Even when he met the guild leader of Shadow, he didn't care much.

In the end, when World Dominator acquired Shadow, the Lanhua Group readily agreed, partly because One-Shot Deal and several other master blacksmiths and potion masters strongly supported it. Otherwise, the Lanhua Group wouldn't have agreed so readily and fired him.

Shi Feng opened the Star Moon Kingdom's forum, feeling a sense of fate's irony.

In this life, the Guard Armor was just starting to sell well, and this One-Shot Deal appeared to cut off his source of income.

It had to be said, One-Shot Deal and he were destined to clash.

He stole One-Shot Deal's forging talent, and One-Shot Deal turned around and cut off his income.

Looking at the Star Moon Kingdom's forum, Shi Feng quickly found a red pinned post.

"Upholding justice starts with me; we must not let unscrupulous blacksmiths run rampant," signed by a conscientious blacksmith.

Seeing these bright red large characters, Shi Feng frowned slightly.

What's going on here?

The views actually exceeded ten million!

Out of curiosity, he clicked on the post.

Reading a lengthy and well-supported accusation, it claimed that the cost of a bronze equipment was less than one silver coin, but the unscrupulous Shi Feng sold it for thirty silver coins, which was extremely unfair. Therefore, he stood up and offered to sell level 3 bronze equipment at four silver coins each, citing the success rate issue.

This article received widespread support from players, who all claimed they would no longer buy Guard Armor and would support One-Shot Deal's righteous actions.

After reading it, Shi Feng was speechless.

The entire article was smearing him, praising One-Shot Deal, and implying that he could also forge bronze equipment.

This was clearly an attempt to step on him to rise to fame, to boost his own value and reputation, so that various guilds would extend olive branches and offer him a high price.

However, Shi Feng admitted that One-Shot Deal succeeded, not only gaining immense popularity but also receiving invitations from many second-tier guilds, and even a first-tier guild was willing to discuss cooperation with him.

"Damn, not only cutting off my income, but also stepping on me to rise to fame." Shi Feng's anger from both lives had reached its limit; he wanted to teach One-Shot Deal a lesson.

Is unlimited supply of level 3 bronze plate armor so impressive?

If not for stepping on him to rise to fame, he wouldn't want to have anything to do with One-Shot Deal. But since he provoked him, he had to be prepared to pay a heavy price.

One-Shot Deal's series of accusations and data, in Shi Feng's view, were simply laughable.

A beginner blacksmith apprentice has only a 5% success rate in forging a level 3 bronze equipment. However, from One-Shot Deal's data, it was clear that he not only obtained the design blueprint for bronze equipment but also something to increase the forging success rate, plus the use of a mid-level forging room, which should have a success rate of around 20%. This is why he dared to make such bold claims and put out a lot of equipment to prove his point.

However, based on Shi Feng's estimation, to boost his reputation, One-Shot Deal would lose nearly one silver coin for each bronze equipment sold. Although he didn't know how much capital One-Shot Deal had, compared to him, One-Shot Deal was still ten years behind.

Isn't it four silver coins?

His equipment also sells for four silver coins. With the Philosopher's Stone and the Forging Book, his cost is only a dozen copper coins, plus the terrifying success rate, let's see who laughs last.

Shi Feng didn't hesitate, directly posting an anonymous thread on the forum titled "Auction House Surprised by Premium Plate Armor," then bringing up the auction house interface and placing twenty of the worst Radiant Chestplates.

The healing power of the Radiant Chestplate is excellent for tanking in dungeons, even better than the Guard Armor. Compared to One-Shot Deal's Barbarian Chestplate, it is two levels higher. Players would naturally know which to choose.

After seeing the attributes, the players clicked to try it on.

Seeing themselves wearing the Radiant Chestplate, with its streamlined design, stylish appearance, and faint glow, and a black flame mark on the left chest that appeared and disappeared, they were simply amazed. Wearing the Radiant Chestplate made them feel like legendary heroes, handsome and powerful.

Looking at the price, it was only four silver coins.

The player couldn't believe their eyes. Such a high-end piece of equipment for just four silver coins, not buying it would be a waste of life. Even if they didn't have enough money, they would sell their pots and pans to buy it.

In just over ten minutes, the post Shi Feng made went viral. Some players even posted the data and appearance of the Radiant Chestplate, causing a wave of excitement. Players who played shield warriors and guardian knights couldn't wait to get this high-end equipment.

However, when they went to buy it, they found only four pieces left, each sold for over six silver coins...

But the elite squad's tank still gritted his teeth, borrowed money from all sides, and finally spent seven silver coins to get it. After receiving the equipment, he felt that the money he owed was nothing compared to the attributes and stylish appearance. He wasn't worried about paying it back in the future.

Thinking about this, the shield warrior couldn't stop smiling.
