Although Shi Feng had only asked casually, Cixin suddenly turned his head, looking at Shi Feng with anticipation, his expression slightly excited, and said, "Could it be that Brother Ye Feng, you have a forging blueprint?"
Now, the blueprints for bronze equipment were being snatched up like crazy. All the major guilds were competing, comparing their resources. No one could be sure how many more copies of the Glowlight blueprint would be sold. It was possible that the first-rate guilds would snatch them all up, leaving nothing for the second-rate guilds like theirs.
If they could obtain a blueprint for bronze equipment at this moment, the Assassin Alliance could easily take a step ahead of other second-rate guilds, gain a significant reputation, and make a substantial profit. When it came time to compete for Baihe City, they would have a better chance.
Shi Feng shook his head.
Cixin's excitement instantly faded, and he felt disheartened. But he thought about it, and it made sense. So far, apart from the Black Flame Forger and One-Hammer Deal, no other player had produced a forging blueprint. After all, it was a matter of luck.
"Didn't you want to bid on the Glowlight Chestguard? I can lend you the money," Shi Feng said slowly.
Cixin suddenly realized that Shi Feng was indeed quite wealthy. Being able to come up with twenty silver coins at once showed that he had a substantial amount of money. However, compared to the first-rate guilds, he was still far behind. He could probably only come up with thirty to forty silver coins at most. So he sighed and said, "Brother Ye Feng, it's not that I don't trust you, but the price of the Glowlight blueprint is too high. Twenty to thirty silver coins won't be enough."
"Oh, how much would it take to bid for it?" Shi Feng asked confidently.
Although he didn't know how much it would take to bid for the blueprint, he had over four gold coins from selling two blueprints. This money was already in his backpack, and bidding for the third Glowlight blueprint was almost a sure thing. He could also repay Cixin's favor. After all, the money would eventually return to him. Why not do it?
He hadn't expected the Glowlight blueprint to be so effective, with all the guilds competing so fiercely, determined to snatch it at all costs. No wonder the game currency was in short supply and the prices were high. But for him, it was a great piece of news. If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity, it would be a waste of his hard work.
Cixin held up three fingers and said helplessly, "The competition is getting more intense. I estimate it will take at least three gold coins, or there's no hope."
"How much do you have?" Shi Feng didn't plan to lend three gold coins all at once.
"I have 2 gold and 10 silver. It's very difficult to collect game currency now; almost all of it has been collected by other guilds. I was already planning to give up the competition and focus on leveling up," Cixin sighed, shaking his head.
"Then I'll lend you 90 silver. That will make it 3 gold for you," Shi Feng said with a smile, directly initiating a trade with Cixin and placing 90 silver coins in the trade window.
Cixin was shocked when he saw the 90 silver in the trade window. He hadn't expected Shi Feng to be so wealthy. Adding the more than ten silver coins he had already spent, it meant that Shi Feng had at least one gold coin...
If it weren't for the guild's full efforts to raise funds, the guild's liquid capital would be about the same as Shi Feng's. But they were a second-rate guild with over 20,000 members, including a dedicated 500-person gold farming team. Shi Feng, as an individual, had earned almost as much as their entire guild...
"Thank you so much, Brother Ye Feng. I will definitely repay this favor in the future," Cixin said gratefully. "But I can't let you lose out. I'll definitely pay you back 1 gold coin tomorrow."
Now, game currency was incredibly valuable, especially during this critical period of competing for blueprints. Cixin had originally wanted to buy it outright, but considering the value of game currency, it was hard to come by even with money. Moreover, Shi Feng definitely didn't lack credit points, so he hadn't had the heart to ask and had chosen to pay ten silver coins in interest.
However, Shi Feng was a bit speechless. He only wanted credit points. He was carrying a lot of debt and needed money for setting up a studio and other expenses. What was the point of having more game currency when credit points were more practical?
The sooner the studio opened, the sooner he could recruit stable members, tackle large team dungeons, and earn more money to build its reputation. This would lay a solid foundation for forming a guild. If he waited too long, it would be difficult to secure a foothold in Baihe City. This was a time when every second counted.
"Brother Cixin, don't say that. If it weren't for you, I would have been in a bloody battle today. I owe you a favor. I'll sell you these 90 silver coins at 60 credit points each. The guild needs game currency in the early stages, so don't be too polite," Shi Feng said earnestly.
Cixin was deeply moved. He felt that Shi Feng was a good friend worth befriending. If he paid back 1 gold coin tomorrow, it would cause significant trouble for the guild's operations. Cultivating forgers and purchasing materials required a lot of game currency. If he could buy it with credit points, it would be even better.
"Thank you so much, Brother Ye Feng. But 60 credit points is too low. How can I buy it at such a price? It would be embarrassing. I'll pay you 80 credit points per silver, a total of 7200 credit points. I'll transfer it to you immediately," Cixin said happily, stubbornly transferring 7200 credit points to Shi Feng despite his protests.
"Brother Ye Feng, I'll go bid on the blueprint now. If you need anything in the future, just contact me, and I'll do my best to help."
With that, Cixin and the others rushed to the auction house.
Seeing 7200 credit points added to his account, Shi Feng smiled helplessly. His good impression of Cixin increased, and he felt that he could help Cixin more in the future.
Now, his bank account had over 20,000 credit points, enough to cover the cost of two virtual helmets. At least he wouldn't have to worry about the virtual helmets becoming invalid in seven days and being unable to play the game.
The remaining task was to earn more money before the school association event, to accumulate capital. There might be a big opportunity at the event that could solidify the foundation of the studio.
In the previous life, Shadow had seized a big opportunity at the association event, which significantly boosted the strength of the Shadow Studio, giving it the confidence to compete for control of Baihe City with third-rate guilds.
Since he was participating in this association event in this life, he wouldn't let this great opportunity slip away. He would seize as much as he could.
Afterward, Shi Feng found an inn and rented a room.
In Hongye Town, his red name was too conspicuous. If he didn't find a way to solve it, every move he made would be noticed by the surrounding players.
"I didn't expect to use this so soon." Shi Feng took out the Demon Mask from his backpack and shook his head with a smile.
Without this item, he wouldn't have been able to solve the red name problem.
After putting on the Demon Mask, Shi Feng adjusted his facial features, making his appearance very different from his own. His red name also turned green. Without a high-level Insight skill, no one could detect his disguise.
After confirming there were no issues, Shi Feng placed the remaining 3 gold coins in the virtual trading center, selling them at 80 credit points per silver. Given the current competition, once the Assassin Alliance bid for the blueprint, the first-rate guilds and other second-rate guilds would become even more restless, making it even crazier. He wouldn't have to worry about selling the game currency.
Just as Shi Feng was about to leave the inn, a thought struck him, and he lightly slapped his forehead.
"How could I forget this? Now that I have the Demon Mask, I should make good use of it." Shi Feng's face showed a serene smile.
