Chapter 62

After reading the contract, Ziyun Liuyun was deeply moved and thought she was dreaming.

She had heard about the treatment in third-rate guilds, and this treatment was definitely better than that of life players in third-rate guilds, especially with a monthly base salary, which life players in third-rate guilds did not have.

"Why are you so good to me?" Ziyun Liuyun asked Shi Feng with her big, watery eyes, wanting to know the reason.

"Don't get the wrong idea. I just need a chef. I saw that you work hard and seriously, so I hired you. If you slack off and don't meet my requirements, get out. I don't keep useless people here," Shi Feng suddenly said sternly, wanting to make Ziyun Liuyun understand that becoming his chef was not easy, because things that are too easy to obtain are not cherished.

Ziyun Liuyun was frightened by Shi Feng's scolding and lowered her head, no longer daring to ask questions. From Shi Feng's attitude, it was clear that he was indeed looking for a chef, and she had just been chosen by chance. She then signed the contract.

This was her last chance in despair, and she had to seize it.

"Boss, am I going to work here?" Ziyun Liuyun immediately took on her role, showing great respect. She looked around; the environment here was very nice and quiet, but the rent was not cheap.

"Yes, you will work here from now on. I've already become a member here, so you can come in at any time. The money inside is enough for you to use for a long time. No one will disturb you here, and the equipment is complete, which can significantly increase your success rate. If there are no problems, you can start working. If I don't see 900 cups of iced fruit juice in 30 hours, you can also leave," Shi Feng said, very satisfied with Ziyun Liuyun's attitude, and then turned and left.

As for guiding Ziyun Liuyun to the path of upgrading battles, it would take some time, and he would guide her slowly. Moreover, iced fruit juice was very useful to him, and having Ziyun Liuyun make it was also a good choice.

Ziyun Liuyun watched Shi Feng leave, feeling very grateful to him. She was determined to do her best and not disappoint her boss.

After leaving the Chef's Association, Shi Feng returned to the Blacksmithing Association.

At this time, there were more and more blacksmithing players in the Blacksmithing Association, chatting in groups. Some were discussing how to improve their success rate, while others were talking about the battle between the mysterious blacksmith and One Hammer Deal, envying and admiring them.

"Did you see the post One Hammer Deal just put up?"

"Of course, I did. I didn't expect One Hammer Deal to be so angry, actually wanting to fight the mysterious blacksmith to the death, and even saying that whoever backs out of this price war first is a coward."

"Sigh, I really envy them. They actually got bronze designs. If I had a bronze design, I could at least join a third-rate guild."

"Do you know anything? I heard from the guild's blacksmithing players that the drop rate of bronze designs is shockingly low, and the success rate is also shockingly low. They are now selling for 3-4 silver coins, which is a complete loss. For something as good as the Faint Light Chestguard, the loss is even greater. But the guilds are happy and thank One Hammer Deal's actions, otherwise how would they buy at such low prices?"

"Actually, I really hate One Hammer Deal. Isn't it better for everyone learning blacksmithing to make money together? Why does he have to fight the mysterious blacksmith to the death, both losing?"

Hearing these discussions, Shi Feng thought for a moment and then smiled. From One Hammer Deal's actions, it was clear that he was struggling, and the silver coins in his hands were definitely not enough. He was now aggressively buying silver coins, which would significantly increase the price of silver coins, making it a good time to sell silver coins.

He really had to thank One Hammer Deal. If it weren't for One Hammer Deal, the equipment market wouldn't be so active.

Now, a large amount of silver coins flowed into his pocket every moment, and although he spent a lot, the amount of money was still increasing crazily, reaching 3 gold coins.

Shi Feng rented a medium-level blacksmithing room for another five hours at the front desk and began a new round of forging and making.

However, before forging, Shi Feng entered the virtual center to check the price of the Divine Realm game coins, wanting to sell some of the game coins, as keeping them in his pocket was a waste.

He didn't know until he looked, and he was shocked.

Although there were many people playing Divine Realm, there were less than a hundred people selling Divine Realm game coins, and the prices were shockingly high, with one silver coin costing 60 credit points, at least twice as much as in the previous life. However, the amount of silver coins these people were selling was very small, only 2-3 silver coins. In addition to those selling, there were also many people buying Divine Realm game coins, with the lowest purchase price reaching 55 credit points and the highest reaching 58 credit points.

In other words, one silver coin in Divine Realm was enough for Shi Feng to eat well for two days in reality.

It was because of this price competition that silver coins became so expensive.

At this stage of Divine Realm, anyone with a brain would not sell game coins. Instead, many guilds would buy a reasonable amount of game coins, and only a few gold farming teams and money-making studios would sell some, but the amount was definitely very small, and the price was extremely high. Major guilds would not buy unless absolutely necessary.

However, the price competition for equipment made these guilds realize that this was a good opportunity to make a profit, and they would definitely buy a lot. But there weren't that many game coins, so they could only buy the Divine Realm game coins sold in the virtual center. Where did all these game coins go?

The majority were in his hands, and a small part was with the material suppliers.

In other words, he was now the biggest seller of game coins, far surpassing even a hundred-person gold farming team.

Without hesitation, Shi Feng put up three gold coins worth of silver coins for sale at 60 credit points each. Although the price was high, the major guilds in Baihe City would definitely buy them for equipment, and eventually, these game coins would return to his hands.

After handling these matters, Shi Feng began to focus on forging equipment and making designs.

The five hours passed quickly, and Shi Feng forged over 80 Faint Light Chestguards and 50 Faint Light Chestguard designs. His experience points were almost full, and his own experience had increased significantly, only 22% away from level 4. His forging proficiency was just 200 points away from becoming a medium-level apprentice.

Compared to the equipment, the designs were truly the most valuable. With the Faint Light Chestguard being so popular, major guilds would definitely be eager to get bronze equipment designs to train their own blacksmiths and forge their own bronze equipment, as the drop rate of bronze equipment was extremely low, and there weren't many elites to kill.

The equipment sold by Shi Feng and One Hammer Deal was negligible compared to the millions of players in Baihe City, and there were still many players who needed this equipment.

After leaving the blacksmithing room, Shi Feng's pocket was filled with more money. He then went to the trade area and bought some stone materials and sturdy stones, swept through the auction house for stone materials and sturdy stones, and put up the 80 Faint Light Chestguards, but the price had changed, no longer the minimum of 4 silver coins, but 3 silver coins.

One Hammer Deal was already close to madness from the competition, and seeing Shi Feng lower the price again made him even more frustrated. Shi Feng lowering the price, he naturally had to lower his price too, this was forcing him to sell his kidney! Was it necessary to be so ruthless!

Shi Feng himself did not think so much; he just wanted to better promote the Faint Light Chestguard.

After leaving the auction house, he stored the Philosopher's Stone and materials in the bank's warehouse, bought two sets of初级恢复药剂 at the pharmacy, and then went to the magic shop, buying over ten types of magic scrolls, five of each, with prices ranging from 20 to 40 copper coins each.

The experience points for the Teleportation Orb were already full, indicating that he should go to the Moonlight Woods.

However, the Moonlight Woods was not a peaceful place but rather a place full of danger, extremely dangerous, known as the Land of Eternal Sleep. Without preparation, it was certain death.

The scrolls he bought were all essential for survival in the wild. Previously, he couldn't afford them, but now that he had money, he wouldn't hesitate, at least giving him a fighting chance.

He then found a deserted place, activated the Teleportation Orb, and Shi Feng turned into a beam of white light, disappearing from Maple Leaf Town.
