219. The way to make money is made by the knife forger
The newly opened plot force "Blood Rat Gang" now has only four people, including Dorothy, and as soon as they set up their stall outside the entrance to Sewer No. 7, they are surrounded by more than a dozen players who have been waiting for a long time.
These are the guys who are ready to go the thief and stalker routes, and they've been craving similar transfers before, but this ghost game hasn't introduced stealth flow gameplay until now, and it's really disappointing!
Bah!
The gaming experience is extremely poor!
However, the little players came in high spirits, but they returned disappointed one by one, because the stealth assassin of this ghost game seems to be a little different from the image they imagined of killing one person in ten steps and not touching a single leaf.
"What? What do you say? Sneak? Yes, I can sneak around, but the kind of visual occlusion you're talking about isn't something you're an ordinary professional can learn! If you want to summon the shadow cover so skillfully, you must at least get the black iron level. β
"I'll teach you pickpockets, too, but can't you practice this? When stealing someone's wallet on the street, the technique is not good, but you will be killed!
Now, there's a pot over there, see?
After the sand is hot, use two fingers to pinch it out, and once you succeed, you will get started, and then practice using your fingers to hold the soap in a basin of hot water. β
"Who litters glitter? How can this be thrown like a smoke bomb, the technology is too poor! β
The four members of the Blood Rat Gang are so exhausted by the endless questions from the players that it is only then that Ms. Dorothy knows what kind of hot potato she has received.
She was annoyed by the strange requests of the players, remembered the skills she had learned in the "Civil Service Basics Course" before, and simply shouted to silence the people around her, and then slightly clumsily used the arithmetic orb in her hand to give them the daily task of exterminating the ghoul.
Want to learn skills?
No problem!
Let's bring ten pairs of ghoul teeth and claws to the old lady first.
Relying on this trick, the four members of the Blood Rat Gang finally got a moment of peace.
After the noisy little players left, Dorothy sat down on the barrel tiredly, and said angrily to the three subordinates who were watching her:
"What do you see? Hurry up and get to work! Let's put our camp up first. Daisy, when they come back, you'll teach them how to walk in the shadows, Freeman, you teach these guys how to steal bags and scratch bags, and old Pete teaches them to search and disguise.
When they've all learned, I teach them how to connect with the shadows.
These rookies don't know where they heard that they can instantly dive into the shadows and disappear suddenly, damn, that kind of advanced skill has only been heard of by the shadow elves, but I also learned it for several years, okay? β
Dorothy complained fiercely, but the work still had to be done.
was instructing three subordinates to do things, but he saw a guy who wrapped himself tightly in a black cloth and walked towards him by the wall.
This dress is directly for Miss Razor's amusement.
"Hey, the one over there, are you dressed like this for fear that others won't notice you in the crowd? Third-rate knights have seen too much, right?
Hurry up and get rid of your bad luck. β
She sat on the barrel and said to the little player who was stunned in place:
"The first thing you need to do if you want to be a thief is to learn to disguise, but it's definitely not your disguise, I suggest you go to the street and see, what kind of person is the most ordinary, you just learn to disguise him as he is.
At a time when no one else will notice you, you're a beginner in the thief business.
In our line of work, the lower the sense of presence, the better. β
"Huh."
The little player is still very obedient.
After Dorothy finished speaking, he quickly took off his "night clothes", revealing the novice leather armor he was wearing.
This guy's face is quite tender, very young, but he seems to be very resistant to contact with others, and he has been looking away from Dorothy.
"That's not going to work."
The eldest sister of the Blood Rat Gang shook her head and said:
"Your posture is very suitable for being a thief, but our way of thieves is not like this, come, hold your chest up, and tell me what your name is?"
"Frostfang's claws."
The little player replied honestly, but he was obviously hiding it.
From the psychic microphone plug-in inserted on the arithmetic orb, it can be seen that this guy should also be a "small family" guy.,It's still a minority of small players who can spend 20 gold coins to buy a plug-in just after entering the game.γ
"You want to be a thief?"
Dorothy asked again, who nodded vigorously.
"Go get the ghouls' teeth and claws first, and bring them back to prove your determination and potential to me, of course, as a thief, you can't just think about fighting, so you can also try to steal the wooden chest left by our rat gang among the ghouls on the third floor of the sewers."
Miss Razor waved her hand and said:
"I was in a hurry, and a lot of things were left there, and if you can bring it back, it means that you have a lot of talent for this business. But I'm going to tell you, stealing from ghouls wandering is much more dangerous than fighting head-on, and those guys are sensitive to smell and life.
Weigh it yourself. β
"Can you just take one?"
Frostfang's claw whispered, and Dorothy nodded.
She thought for a moment, and then took a very special little wooden tag from her waist, which was an identification mark carved into the shape of a mouse.
She said:
"Some of the ghouls on the third floor of the sewers carry this thing, which proves that they were all members of the Rat Gang, and I have a hard time collecting their corpses. But if you can bring back an ID tag, I can count you as having completed the gang mission.
If you steal it, then I'll teach you how to be a thief myself, but I'll say something ugly.
It's basically sending you to death."
"Okay, I'll try."
The young player saw that he had triggered a hidden mission, and immediately perked up, and without waiting for Dorothy to speak, he turned around and ran out, and the Razor Lady shook her head.
She'd seen a lot of reckless Transancians before, but it was the first time she'd seen such a reckless one in front of her, but the language of these guys was so strange, it wasn't the language of the mountain people at all!
Dorothy slandered in her heart:
"The old lady has traveled all over the continent, and she also escaped the pursuit in the woods of the mountain people, if these guys are really mountain people, I will cut off my head and give it to the cunning vampire lord. Where the hell did he find these imposters? β
ββ
"Alas, man! This knife on you is kind of interesting, where did it come from? β
The tightly wrapped Happy Stick was walking down the street on his tall horse, about to look for information about the "Secret Treasure of Transancia" in the library of the Vulture Corridor, only to see a bald new player carrying a very exaggerated-looking knife on his back to move wood on the construction site of the Grey Man.
It's a bit miserable to say.
But new players who enter the game are shy, and it is also a very good choice to come to the construction site to move bricks to earn some extra money, and brush the character level by the way.
However, the weapon behind this guy has made Happy Stick interested.
As a veteran player who first entered the game, he had never seen such an obviously "impractical" weapon near Crimson Keep, and he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen something similar somewhere on the Internet.
It's like a weapon in a comic book with a strange drawing style.
"Ha, you've seen my wind-pulling weapon, right? Bang Brother. β
Seeing that Happy Stick was attracted by his weapon, the new player with the ID "Kind Eyebrow Giant Shark Uncle" smirked, and he proudly introduced:
"My Giant Shark Knife is powerful enough, isn't it? I made it for a gold coin! It's a perfect match for my appearance, isn't it? β
"Wait, I remember where I've seen it, you're a bump!"
Happy Stick took a step back with some hesitation, he stared at the somewhat crazy bald player in front of him, and said:
"Where did you order the weapon? This thing is solid, right? Are you sure you can lift it as a newcomer to the game? It's as tall as you guys, hey! β
"It's a little heavier, but it doesn't matter, now I can't wield it, so it's all about exercising, as long as I pass the black iron trial, I will definitely be able to pick it up and kill the Quartet!"
The bald player pursed his lips and said a little unwillingly, and as a result, he directly gave the happy bar a whole fun. This brother is spending money to get himself a completely useless "fashion"?
"You haven't told me where you ordered the weapon?"
Happy Stick asked, and the giant shark, who was busy moving wood, pointed to the camp and said:
"There are two brothers over there who have opened a blacksmith shop, and they opened their business yesterday, and they can customize the appearance cheaper than the NPC sales, not only me, but many brothers have ordered it with them."
"Oh? Finally have a brother who has a life career enlightened? β
Happy Stick immediately became interested, said goodbye to the giant shark who moved bricks, rode on his horse and went to the camp outside the city, but from a long distance he saw a few people surrounded outside a tent, and some people were trading:
"Dude, you can customize weapons, right? Give me a frost sorrow! β
"Don't make a fuss, it's a two-handed sword, you can't lift it at all, change it."
"Okay, then it's okay to have an Enma Knife, right?"
"Well, this is no problem, pay the deposit next to it! After four days, do you want to bring decorations and scabbards? Add an extra gold coin if you want. β
"I'm going to cut the moon!"
"Line up in the back, why do you still learn to cut the line."
A group of new players were noisy, making Happy Stick feel that this skilled person can work anywhere, he got off his horse and walked to the tent, and took a handful of 'curry sticks' that the two blacksmith players had just made and looked at it in his hand.
As soon as the item identification started, Brother Bang quickly lost interest.
The standard recruit-level gadgets are nothing remarkable in terms of workmanship or quality, and the only advantage is the unique shape and beautiful Damascus pattern.
However, this is indeed a little better than the Servant Sword that new players use now, as it has two more entries than the vanilla equipment: "Durable" and "Easy to Maintain".
"Dude, isn't your pricing a little low?"
After the players who made the weapons left, Bang Man walked into the tent and said to the two life professional players who were busy around the anvil inside:
"I think that with these two extra entries, there should be people who will buy them if you order 3 gold coins."
"Go, go, go! Where did the profiteers come from? β
The "Hundred Forging Horse", who had made his face black and gray because of the iron, waved his hand very impatiently and said:
"Dude, I'm busy punching forging proficiency, selling things is to give some benefits to my brothers, and besides, these iron ingots used for punching skills are all from the camp public, but we want to sell them a little more expensive, and NPC won't let it.
If you don't know the weapon, you can go aside, buddy, you still have an apprentice, and I don't have time to chat with you. β
"I ordered, who said no?"
Happy Stick rolled his eyes, took out a small bag of gold coins from the psionic bag, threw it on the table next to him, and said to the two manufacturing players in front of him who were obsessed with forging knives and had a few NPC apprentices:
"I'm going to form a guild, and I just took the opportunity to give my brothers a whole batch of standard weapons."
"Yo, rich man."
The "Broken Knife Master" next to him picked up the small bag and glanced at it, and said:
"What are you going to do? And the two of us have a lot of orders now, and you probably have to wait for half a month to get the goods. β
"I'm not in a hurry."
Brother Bang smiled and said:
"And I don't want these whiteboards for novices, can you make Seiko weapons with special entries?"
When these words were spoken, the two guys, who were good at forging knives in reality, and who were even more comfortable in the game, suddenly glanced at each other.
They had an expression on their faces that they had "finally met Kaiko".
Master Broken Knife rubbed his hands, and very enthusiastically invited Brother Bang to the tent next to him, he said:
"Honestly, brother, my brother and I are also studying the manufacturing system in this game, and we found that ah, if you want to forge the equipment of this special entry, you have to add some special materials to it.
Such!
You bring us the materials we need, we only charge for manual fees. β
After speaking, in the stunned gaze of the happy stick, a task box suddenly popped up in front of his eyes.
γOrder TaskΒ·' Seiko's Pursuit' has been triggered!
Content: The official blacksmith of the Crimson Keep, Master Broken Blade, asks you to help him collect a series of rare materials to forge custom weapons for you, and the list of requirements is as follows.
Mission time limit: 48 hours.
Reward: Customized Seiko Weapon X10, which can only be claimed after the forging is completed. γ
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Brother Bang's eyes widened, looking at the smiling Broken Knife Master in front of him, he screamed:
"Can you send quests to other players? This is really out of the ordinary! β
"Hey, what's so strange about that? This is the 'unique benefit' of our manufacturing players. β
The Master of the Broken Knife waved his hand and said:
"My buddy stays in this blacksmith shop all day long, and he has no interest in fighting and killing, so how can he have time to go out to level up and find materials? Isn't that what you combat classes need to help with?
That's it, you get the materials back, and we'll help you make Seiko weapons, and by the way, you can also punch proficiency.
Hey, kill two birds with one stone. β
"Wait!"
This was the first time Happy Stick knew about the special mechanics of manufacturing players, and he quickly asked in confusion:
"But if you don't fight the Monster Light Rush skill, what about the Black Iron Trial?"
"Oh, that's a trial that only your combat profession has, and we craftsmen don't pursue this, our trial is called 'Craft Trial'."
Master Broken Knife explains:
"It can be triggered when the blacksmith class reaches level 10, and it can be completed by making three or more Seiko Veteran weapons in a row and three or more special entries independently.
And there is no conflict between manufacturing and combat professions.,Each person has three career columns.,It's not impossible to go out and fight monsters when you're annoyed by making things.γ
Anyway, I recognize the freedom of this game.
By the way, will you take my task? Also, what kind of weapons are you going to order for your guild members? Fantasy or a more practical classic? Want me to recommend you? β
"There's no need, just Kaba."
Happy Stick took the order task and then said something, which made the Broken Knife Master's eyes light up, and he immediately knew that this person had an extraordinary background.
He whispered:
"Classic or souvenir? I said in advance that the iron ingots provided at the camp were of average quality, so even the Seiko should not expect to last as long as the original.
In addition, the commemorative money has to be added!
And the waiting time is longer, after all, the special anti-rust treatment and the handle are more troublesome, and my brother and I have to get some special tools in the game before we can start to do it. β
"Of course it's better if you can make a commemorative model! Money is not a problem, anyway, you can't buy it in reality, and it's okay to play it in the game. β
Brother Bang's eyes lit up.
Then he looked at the Broken Knife Master with strange eyes, and with a sense of awe, he whispered:
"Dude, what are you doing in reality? Listen to what you mean, do you have a commemorative item in stock? Shot? β
"Oh, contemptible, there's a small knife company, it's a mess."
The Master of the Broken Knife grinned, waved his hand, and said:
"There is a spot on hand, but I'm afraid you can't afford that price. Collectors who don't specialize in this don't need to be wronged in reality, anyway, this game is so real, just play it here.
My brother and I are going to start reproducing classic knives in a while, why don't we order one in advance?
Seeing that you are a fellow believer, our price is easy to say. β
"Okay!"
Happy Bar thought for a moment and said:
"Let's take the Emperor's command knife first."
"A piece of cake, Chenghui deposit 30, full payment 100, pick up the goods after two months, to ensure the quality above the Seiko veterans"
"Damn! Why don't you go and grab the money? At this speed of making money, I want to turn to a blacksmith to play. β
"Okay, my brother and I also take apprentices and pay 10 gold coins as tuition, let's start now? Don't be too expensive, does that water lady know? She is a famous costume designer, born with a 'master tailor' specialty, and the three tailor NPCs in the camp are now apprentices to her, and she can also receive a special allowance from the administration.
Alas, sure enough, knowledge is power! β
