The Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God (INDONESIA)
Chapter 42 – Element Improvement

Forging Association, inside the Forging Room.

Shi Feng took out a pile of Stones, putting them on the table.

A pile of Stones had a hundred pieces in total. They immediately filled the round table; some even fell to the ground.

"It's time to see how good you really are," Shi Feng smiled as he picked up the dark red Philosopher's Stone.

If the Philosopher's Stone was seen by others, the consequences Shi Feng faced would be enormous. Hence, Shi Feng rented the Forging Room. Without his permission, no one could enter the room.

Shi Feng took out a piece of Stone from the table and used the Philosopher's Stone on it.

System: Do you want to use the Philosopher's Stone for Element Repair?

Shi Feng immediately chose 'Yes. 'After that, the Philosopher's Stone began to emit a faint red radiance; a mysterious power flowed into the Stone.

The peng!

The fist-sized stone suddenly turned into yellow sand, scattering to the ground. Result failed.

However, Shi Feng revealed a calm smile at the result. It doesn't bother him one bit. After that, he took another Stone and tried again.

Ores are precious. Normal Copper Ores sold for 2 Copper; they were only worth 1 Copper Coin if sold to an NPC. A stack of 100 Copper Ores could sell for 200 Copper Coins to a Guild, and they would still fight over it. Compared to a pile of Stones, which only sold for 10 Copper Coins, Copper Ore was too expensive.

Elemental Refinement extracted Metal Element from Stone. However, some Stones did not have Metal Elements. So, it is only natural that they turn to sand. Such failures are all too common.

Peng .. Peng .. Peng …

There was still no ore after ten consecutive trials. Shi Feng started to become depressed. The success rate is too low.

Shi Feng even began to suspect that these Stones were taken from the desert to produce all the yellow sand.

"Calm, relax. There were still many Stones left," Shi Feng took a deep breath, reassuring himself.

He took out a piece of Stone, trying the Elemental Refinement once more.

The peng!

This time, the Stone was still scattered into the sand pile. However, in the middle of the yellow grain, there was a piece of metal that had a red purplish luster. It was a Copper Ore.

With the first piece of Copper Ore in his hand, Shi Feng sighed leisurely. His hands started moving at a faster speed.

All of the Stone on the stone table turned into yellow sand in a moment. The stack of Stones had produced a total of 23 pieces of Copper Ore and 2 pieces of Bronze Ore. Compared to Copper Ore, Bronze Ore prices were three times that of Copper Ore; they were worth 3 Copper Coins when sold to NPCs. Due to the rarity of Bronze Ore, players would buy it for 7 Copper Coins.

Looking at the ore on the table, Shi Feng felt the Philosopher's Stone was truly a gold mine. Even if the current Philosopher's Stone was broken, it was still incredible. It was no wonder why many kingdoms were willing to deploy their troops and fight for the Philosopher's Stone. Possessing the Philosopher's Stone was the equivalent of possessing a rich treasure. At that time, an empire would be difficult not to prosper.

Shi Feng stored the ore on the table and took out another pile of Stones.

Piles upon piles of Stone disappeared, while the amount of yellow sand piled up on the small hill. Fortunately, the Forging Room could be cleared of trash with just the click of a button. After pressing the Clean button, the small dune of yellow sand disappeared from view.

After spending an hour, Shi Feng had refined 40 stacks of Stones. He had obtained slightly more than 7 stacks of Copper Ore and slightly more than 1 pile of Bronze Ore. They would be worth over 20 Silver Coins if Shi Feng sold them. Meanwhile, the cost to obtain these ores was only four Silver Coins. The difference is five times the price. That's an absolute advantage.

Most importantly, the ores dropped in very small quantities, so it was impossible to buy them in bulk.

Shi Feng received a System Notification as he left the Forging Room.

System: The Dark Star Boots you placed in the Auction House have been sold. After deducting the procedural fee, 3 Silvers 21 Coppers have been placed in your bag.

……

A series of notifications from the Auction House made Shi Fengs lips smile.

"As expected, the greater the competition, the higher the price" Shi Feng was extremely satisfied with the number of items sold. He had never imagined that the Mysterious-Iron Plate Armor for the Warrior Shield could actually sell for over 30 Silver Coins. There seemed to be many wealthy people in the White River City's sphere of influence.

After selling the equipment, Shi Feng suddenly became a wealthy tycoon. With over 50 Silver Coins in his pocket, even his confidence was different now.

Currently, players would still be happy to have twenty to thirty Copper Coins on their person. Shi Feng already had over 50 Silver Coins. Including Silver Coins. Gentle Snow owed him a debt, if Shi Feng sold the Copper Ore he had immediately, he would instantly become rich in gold.

However, he did not want to sell the ore. This ore was the basis for Shi Feng to earn big money.

Following which, Shi Feng rented the Forging Room for another hour. He turned the remaining Stones into ore. His luck was better this time. Out of 45 stacks of Stone, he obtained 10 stacks of Copper Ore and 2 stacks of Bronze Ore.

With this, Shi Feng had a total of 17 stacks of Copper Ore and 3 stacks of Bronze Ore. It would be quite some time before Shi Feng could use them all.

With the money in hand now, Shi Feng once again arrived at the central area of the Forging Association, in the administrative area. Currently, there were several Forger players, who were groomed by Guilds, renting Forging Rooms.

"It's really evil. It actually cost 5 Coppers for an hour. My guild only gave me 30 Coppers. That's not enough at all."

"It was considered good. At least the equipment is there. View Forging equipment. Even the most common ones require some Silver. The entire set would cost over 30 Silver Coins! This is just a glaring deviation!"

"You still haven't seen the Intermediate Forging Room. It costs one Silver per hour, but that room only increases your success rate by 3%. Even a first-rate Guild would not be able to handle such a price."

Some Forgers continued to complain. They deeply hated the price set by the Forging Association. However, there was also a slight sign that they were boasting their voices. After all, they had the support of their Guilds, whereas normal players would not even be able to rent a Forging Room, not to mention raising their Forging Levels.

Shi Feng surrounded these players, walking towards the Association manager, saying, "I want to rent an Intermediate Forging Room."

"May I know how long you want to rent it?" The pale youth who was the manager of the Association excitedly asked.

Today, most adventurers are poor people. Each of them had only rented a Basic Forging Room, and even then, they rented with reluctance. Thus, a huge change occurred to the manager's servicing attitude when he could see wealthy adventurers like Shi Feng.

Looking at that moment, it was currently morning in the real world. When using a Virtual Gaming Helmet, one could not stay in Gods Domain for too long.

"Two hours later," Shi Feng said after some thought.

"Okay, here's your key. That would be a total of 2 Silver Coins." The manager handed the key to Shi Feng, smiling.

Shi Feng took out two shiny Silver Coins, placed them on the table and turned to leave.

The players who had previously discussed the Forging Association's trickery were all dumbfounded. They even thought they were hallucinating. However, they were indeed Silver Coins on the table, and not dark red Copper Coins.

"Damn, a tycoon!" A male Elementalist said with envy.

“Kakak Tycoon, Younger Sister knows how to warm the bed.” The beautiful and flirtatious female player winked at Shi Feng, flattering him.

"Isn't that just dirty money? I will definitely be an Intermediate Forging Apprentice a step ahead of him," said a male Priest in a sour tone, even though he knew it was impossible. The facilities of the Intermediate Forging Room were much better than the Basic ones. On the surface, the room itself only increased the forging success rate by 3%. However, including the facilities accompanying the room, its success rate increased by at least 5%.

For a Forger, the difference in success rate of 5% was like the difference between heaven and earth.
