23 Class Level Increased (1/2)
With the Green tier equipment in hand, all four guild representative could now form elite squads of their own. All the bosses in the open world would soon have the time of their lives. With the support of stronger equipment, those players could kill the boss, obtaining rare drops and an abundance of experience points.
After selling that batch, Jiang Fei had earned a total of 130 gold coins. Take away 50 gold coin for the material costs, it was a nett profit of 80 gold coins. It was all due to the power of the mysterious ring. Having reached the third level, the ring now granted Jiang Fei 20 Luck, as well as increased his success rate of crafting Ascended equipment.
With more than 100 gold coins lining his pockets, Jiang Fei went on to buy as much material as he can.
Even though he had crafted more than a hundred Green equipment with bonus skills and attribute, only those that were above average had passed Jiang Fei's filter. Even so, those had been ”tossed” to the girls of Rosette Knighthood. To them, they were phenomenal, but to Jiang Fei, there were just scraps that could not satisfy him.
To have the perfect equipment, Jiang Fei had to resort to the most traditional, foolproof method. Mass crafting. As long as there was no shortage of metal for him to hammer, surely, the perfect specimen could someday pop up. After some quick counting, Jiang Fei spent all 130 gold coins on Copper Ores. All 130 stacks would be enough to grant him a new level in Smelting.
”Ding! Player's Smelting has reached Level 2! Chance of material wastage reduced to 50%!”
Reducing wastage from 60% down to 50% was most helpful, especially in his capacity of mass-production!
After he was done, Jiang Fei had collected a total of 58 Copper Ingot stacks. By the end of the smelting process, Jiang Fei found that his experience bar would not go up any further. Apparently, he would have to start smelting higher grade ores, if he wished to continue raising his Smelting level.
It was almost time to wake up, and Jiang Fei decided to end his labors. The temporary storage in the Blacksmith's Workshop was already at capacity. Jiang Fei moved all 58 stacks to his personal bank storage, planning to continue the crafting process the next day.
”Ding! Attention players. The server will shut down in 30 minutes. Please make the adequate preparations before the server disconnects! Enjoy a new day, a new life!”
It was almost time. Jiang Fei had just finished transferring all 58 stacks to his bank. The temporary storage was just like its name suggested -- it would be wiped clean whenever the server shut down.
Jiang Fei woke up, content with his progress. After breakfast, Jiang Fei walked to school. But on that day, something was different. Jiang Feis' journeys were usually mundane and without incident. On that morning, there seemed to be glares coming from all angles! Along the way to his classroom, he could hear students whispering his name. It was probably because of the basketball competition he won the day before.
”Lookie lookie! It's the famous Jiang Fei!”
”Is that him? He doesn't look like the athletic type…”
”Tsk. What do you know? It's exactly because he doesn't look like he plays any sports, period! The kid is good. He trashed the sixth class as if they were toddlers!”
”What? He must be really good then… Aha! He does look a little cute from certain angles.”
”Pss. Don't even try… Dino girl.”
”…”
”…”
”I'll flatten you nice.”
…
”Look! It's the basketball superman.”
”You're right. Let's talk to him. Maybe we could be friends.”
”Doesn't that make us look... Easy?”
”You're right… We should get someone from his class to introduce us!”
”Good idea!”
…
”And the Oscar goes to that kid. What a fake. He wouldn't even budge when people are insulting him.”
”Are you insulting him, or are you praising him? Make up your mind.”
