Disaster Strikes

The twenty days of forging task that Chen Mo promised the housekeeper passed quickly.

During this period.

Bing Ling never contacted him again, which made Chen Mo, who was originally worried that the forging task would be delayed, feel relieved.

[I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network → Smoke𝚠𝚔ｇ𝚗.𝚌Ｗｕ𝚖]

That day.

He brought the four forged equipment to the Bailian Alliance.

"Housekeeper, I'm here to submit the task."

Hearing this, the housekeeper raised his head behind the counter and looked at Chen Mo with a smile on his face.

"You're here."

After searching for a while, he took out three signs to indicate.

"You have received three tasks in the past few days. The basic materials are all gold essence. Obviously, they are all for your reputation as a new alchemist who forged top-quality exclusive equipment. These three people were the judges that day. Two of them were long-term customers of the Gold Essence Alliance. They did a good job!"

"Three?"

Chen Mo was surprised when he heard this.

You should know that the cost of his forging tasks is as high as 500 points, which is calculated according to the price of forging gold-level equipment.

I didn't expect to receive three tasks so quickly, which is equivalent to 1500 points.

Of course.

This 500-point forging fee is just the lower limit for the master of refining.

The forging fee of a real master of refining has exceeded 1000 points. Depending on the level of fame, there are also a few who have forging fees exceeding 2000 points.

It is not impossible for some equipment with special requirements to cost more than 5,000 points, 8,000 points, or 10,000 points. However, if the goal of the task publisher is not achieved, the cost will be extremely heavy. This will be a heavy test for the master refiners and master refiners in the major gathering places, and they will generally not accept it easily.

"There are less than 10 days left before the next disaster mission deadline, and time is not enough."

Chen Mo was about to refuse, but he changed his mind and was stunned.

He can take it to the mission world and forge it with the time resources brought by the traverser!

So he smiled and said to the housekeeper: "I will take all three tasks."

"Okay!"

Seeing Chen Mo so generous, the housekeeper did not think much.

After all, for many refiners, it is also a very common thing to devote their energy to the refinement business. In short, they can support themselves.

And with the physical consumption of the refiners, it is almost a pipe dream to rely on the subsistence meal.

Therefore, if a weapon refiner wants to survive in the gathering place, he needs at least 100 points every month.

He gave some instructions.

"You have just become famous, and there is still a certain gap between you and those real masters who are sought after, so try to be careful, at least don't make serious mistakes. As long as someone is willing to pursue you and provide you with enough gold essence, your basic alchemy proficiency will soon be improved, and the probability of forging top-quality equipment will become greater and greater."

At this point, he paused and smiled.

"Wait until you forge a few more masterpieces in the future, gain greater fame, and cultivate a few loyal big customers who are willing to support you for a long time. Hehe, in some special cases, even if you ask them to help you solve some things that are inconvenient to come forward, it is not impossible. Our weapon refiners are good at this point, and they have enough friends!"

"Yeah!"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "I will work hard."

Those who can entrust the forging of gold-level quality equipment are generally only level 3 natural disaster destroyers, and at least small boss-level existences, who will spare no effort and pursue high-quality equipment at all costs.

Even if auxiliary materials and spiritual materials are not counted.

The gold essence of an equipment depends on the part, and the required gold essence is at least 3000 points to 5000 points.

Most of the gold essence of these small bosses is recycled by refining other gold-level equipment, and each piece of equipment can recycle 30% to 50% of gold essence.

If the quality is downgraded or the refining fails, it is equivalent to a major mistake, making all the materials of the employer go down the drain, which has a great impact on the reputation of the refiner.

So occasionally when this happens.

The refiner would rather pay out of his own pocket, remove the spiritual materials, and only use gold essence and auxiliary materials to refine a basic quality equipment again, so that there will be no traces left. Maybe the evil sword came in this way, and it is a failed gold equipment.

After the housekeeper registered the four pieces of equipment handed over by Chen Mo one by one, he paid Chen Mo 400 points.

Then Chen Mo followed the housekeeper into the warehouse.

The housekeeper handed the materials of the three gold-level equipment to Chen Mo one by one.

Since various spiritual materials are almost impossible to replicate, in order to eliminate greed, the equipment forged by the refiner cannot be appraised, and can only be appraised by the client himself.

Moreover, according to the unreplicability of spiritual materials, once the top-grade equipment is refined, it cannot be secretly replaced by other equipment. The Bailian Alliance will not allow such a thing to happen, which is equivalent to destroying its own reputation.

After the formalities were handed over.

Chen Mo did not rush to leave, but chatted with the housekeeper.

After all, the housekeeper had just released the news that Chen Mo's forging task was over. If the employer was in the gathering place, he would generally come to collect it soon.

During this process, the employer would appraise on the spot.

Chen Mo also wanted to see how high-grade his equipment was this time.

soon.

The two employers came to the Bailian Alliance and took away the shoes and rings forged by Chen Mo.

The housekeeper smiled and handed over the light stone, which is a free benefit provided by the Hundred Refining Alliance.

The two men were identified on the spot.

The man holding the shoes for appraisal raised his eyebrows and sighed as the light stone shone for a while.

"The basic attributes are okay, but it's a pity that there are no additional attributes, characteristics, and skills. It's a shame."

The housekeeper smiled and said: "It is impossible for every piece of equipment to have top-quality attributes. Moreover, a big event happened a few days ago. This traveler forged a top-quality exclusive equipment in the last alchemy bet. Now that he is a recognized master in the gathering place, the cost of issuing forging tasks to him has increased to 500 points."

"Is there such a thing?"

The man couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.

Chen Mo watched this scene behind the counter and felt a little funny.

"ah!"

other side.

After the female natural disaster victim identified the ring through the light stone, she let out a cry of surprise.

"Three attributes, top-notch equipment!"

Then she excitedly showed off the properties of the ring.

Hint: Unnamed.

Quality: Blue.

Conditions of use: Spirit 48.

Item attributes: Energy +6, Basic Element +Lv3, Heart of Elements. When the energy consumption of a single skill is greater than 15 points, the energy consumption is -1.

Item introduction: This is a magical ring carefully forged by a craftsman named Traveler after realizing the power of his own elements.

"hiss!"

The male Scourge who was appraising the shoes was about to leave, but after seeing the ring, his eyes suddenly widened and he could no longer move.

The butler immediately said: "Congratulations!"

"Thanks!"

The female Scourge was obviously very excited.

So the butler continued: "According to the rules of the Hundred Refining Alliance, if you are willing to leave this piece of equipment on display at the counter for a month, I can not only refund all your forging fees, but you can also get this refining equipment in the future. The master offers a 9.9% discount on the handling fee and the opportunity to introduce you to the master. If you have any needs in the future, you can communicate with the master individually. "

The female natural disaster survivor heard this and readily agreed.

Immediately, under the guidance of the butler, he put the ring into the display cabinet and followed the butler to the second floor. Chen Mo also followed and quickly revealed his identity.

Ten minutes later.

The female natural disaster survivor left happily, while Chen Mo followed the housekeeper back to the first floor with a smile.

The other party's heartfelt thanks just now gave Chen Mo a huge sense of professional accomplishment. He felt that he had fallen in love with this profession from the bottom of his heart.

"You actually forged another top-notch piece of equipment."

Chen Mo smiled and said: "It's just good luck, and the requirements for using this ring are a bit high."

"What nonsense are you talking about? These are three attributes, and the attributes are closely related!"

The butler's face was full of excitement, envy, and jealousy. He looked at the blue ring on the counter and looked like he couldn't put it down.

"This ring...has at least 1,800 points, right?"

Chen Mo made an estimate and nodded.

"Well, it should be about the same."

The housekeeper sighed: "She is really lucky."

Naturally, he didn't know that Chen Mo had made a loss-making deal.

Every time he forges a piece of equipment, he will use an X-radiation stone, which is worth at least a few hundred points, so even if he pays a handling fee of 500 points, it is still a loss-making business.

The reason why he did this was to increase his reputation as quickly as possible and improve his basic alchemy.

When your reputation becomes high in the future, the lost material handling fees will be earned back exponentially.

As for the X-radiation stones, because of the teleportation scroll made by Linda and the explorer skills of the travel team, they can be replenished even if they are used up. There is no need to worry about not being able to return to the sunspot radiation world.

"Tsk, tsk."

The housekeeper sighed: "The alchemy secret recipe you have mastered is really powerful. If this continues, the handling fee will continue to rise."

With this ring in mind, Chen Mo was no longer in a hurry to go back.

So I started chatting with the housekeeper.

And because Chen Mo is a newly promoted weapon refiner in the gathering place and can be considered a key member of the club, the housekeeper is also willing to share some secrets with him that he does not know.

Through the housekeeper, Chen Mo initially learned about the various divisions of forces in the gathering place.

In a gathering place, the most important person is undoubtedly the Calamity Monarch. The forces under his command can be divided into personal guards, patrol envoys, masters, and law-abiding ones.

besides.

Among the gathering places of major monarchs, there are also some individuals or forces that are outside of his direct jurisdiction, such as the family of natural disaster lords, branch forces of Evil God City, free men, and divine envoys.

The Scourge Lord is too busy.

Once creatures in various worlds enter the fourth-level realm, their nature of life begins to undergo essential changes.

They must constantly go into history and draw special energy from time.

This requires them to continue to create history. These influences will continue to increase over time and eventually become their own source of energy in the future.

But the scary thing is.

Such behavior is bound to reveal itself constantly.

For many creatures, killing other influential people is the most direct way to increase their influence, especially for level 5 creatures. Killing a large number of level 4 creatures will be the most cost-effective way to accumulate their own energy source.

So to a certain extent.

Once a creature enters the level 4 field, it is a process of continuous creation and destruction.

Time will be an amplifier.

As a refiner, Chen Mo, once he enters this field, with the continuous improvement of his fame, is also a process of creating history. He can gain more influence with the various top-quality equipment he forges, and gradually evolve into his own energy source after the brewing of time.

But at the same time, he will also become the nourishment in the eyes of those level 5 creatures.

As for level 6 creatures, they usually take the form of great guardians, but there seem to be other forms.

Although these level 6 creatures can fight against level 7 creatures under special circumstances, in general, they still have not stepped out of the scope of creating influence in time, and still need to draw energy sources from the influence of time.

"Sometimes, ignorance is also a kind of happiness."

Chen Mo sighed.

Although the butler's description was not very detailed, he could still feel the cruelty.

Of course.

In a way, maintaining a certain order is also a manifestation of expanding influence and accumulating energy sources, so order and chaos can form a delicate balance.

This is because he is a master of refining, the butler will say this, otherwise, with his identity as a first-level natural disaster predator, he is not qualified to understand this.

"Yes."

The butler sighed and said, "One day in the future, if we can enter this field, as a master of refining, the more equipment we forge that can be passed down through the ages, the higher the basic influence will be, and the process of accumulating influence after level 4 will be relatively easier. This is our innate advantage, come on!"

"Yeah!"

Chen Mo nodded, said goodbye to the butler, and left the Bailian Alliance.
