The Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God (INDONESIA)
Chapter 57 – Trading Hammer
"The Hammer Trade?" Shi Feng wanted to confirm once more.
"really. He even posted a thread on the forum criticizing the forger that made the Garrison Armor go black. Currently, the thread has received over seven million clicks. With that, the man quickly became a famous person in White River City. I heard many large Guilds have sent olive branches to him, trying to recruit him at a high price. "The logistician had a face filled with envy as he spoke. He could not help but wish he could turn into Hammer Trading. That way, he would be able to live a life full of beauty and wealth.
Shi Feng only smiled at the player as he turned to walk towards the empty seat. He sat down and called the official forum of the game.
He wanted to take a good look at this Hammer Trade that had almost robbed his business.
In Shi Fengs previous life, Hammer Trading had not revealed himself so quickly. Before Shadow had stalked him, he had been playing Gods Domain with dozens of schoolmates. With the support of these schoolmates, in addition to some fortuitous encounters that had allowed him to become an Intermediate Forging Apprentice, he managed to get acquainted with Shadow's upper echelon. At that moment, there were very few Intermediate Forging Apprentices. The Bronze Equipment forged at that time was also very popular. Seeing such a situation, Shadow also wanted a share of the profits. So, they paid a lot to hire Hammer Trading. Along with the continuous support of Shadow Workshop, Hammer Trading grew into a shocking figure, becoming a relatively famous Forger and earning Shadow a lot of money.
After that, Hammer Trading also gained the Forging Talent [1] in addition to the great support from Shadow, which allowed him to become a Master Forger. At those times, he did not have the slightest bit of respect for Shi Feng, who was the Shadow Guild Leader at that time.
In the end, with the strong support of Hammer Trading, along with several Master Forgers and Master Potionmakers, Lan Hua Financial Groups happily agreed to the acquisition of Shadow by World Dominators. Otherwise, Lan Hua Financial Group would not have agreed to the decision without hesitation and dismissed Shi Feng at the same time.
Shi Feng opened the forum for Star-Moon Kingdom, his heart regretting how fate toyed with him.
In this life, right when the Garrison Armor started selling like a hot cake, Hammer Trading seemed to decide its path to wealth.
Shi Feng could not help but admit that he and Hammer Trading were rivals in life.
Shi Feng stole the Forging Talent from Hammer Trading, while Hammer Trading turned around to decide on the path to wealth.
Exploring the Star-Moon Kingdom forum, Shi Feng quickly found a thread marked red, positioned at the top of the forum.
Upholding justice starts with us! We really can't let this black-haired forger do what he wants! I am a forger with a good heart!
These large, bright red words caused Shi Feng's brows to furrow.
What problem is he trying to cause here?
The number of clicks exceeded ten million!
Out of curiosity, Shi Feng had opened the thread.
Shi Feng looked at the eloquently written curse that had over ten thousand words. The article aptly mentioned that the cost of manufacturing a piece of Bronze Equipment did not even exceed 1 Silver Coin. However, the black-haired Shi Feng sold his equipment for up to 30 Silver Coins. He ripped off another player. Therefore, Hammer Trading wanted to oppose Shi Feng. He was even willing to sell Level 3 Bronze Equipment indefinitely. Merely, due to the failure rate, he had no choice but to sell it for 4 Silvers to earn back the cost of making it.
This article has the support of many players. They all stated that they would no longer buy the Garrison Armor and that they would support Hammer Trading's act of kindness.
Shi Feng fell silent after reading the entire article.
The entire article was simply trying to tarnish his reputation while improving Hammer Trading himself. At the same time, Hammer Trading wanted to declare that he could also forge Bronze Equipment.
He was clearly trying to use Shi Feng as a stepping stone to increase his own value and fame. He wanted to let many large Guilds expand the olive branch on him, and in turn, increase its own value.
However, Shi Feng had to admit that the Hammer Trade had succeeded. His fame not only increased in explosions, but many second-rate Guilds also sent him invitations. There were even some first-rate Guilds willing to discuss the matter of cooperation with Hammer Trading.
"Damn, not only did he decide my path to wealth, he still wanted to use me as a stepping stone ?!" Shi Feng could no longer hold back the anger for his entire life. He wanted to teach Hammer Trading properly.
Shi Feng did not wish to have any relationship with Hammer Trading if he did not try to use Shi Feng as a stepping stone. However, now that he had provoked Shi Feng, he should be prepared to pay the appropriate price.
Shi Feng felt that it was only amusing when he looked at the statements and numbers provided by Hammer Trading.
Basic Forging Apprentices only had a 5% success rate when forging a piece of Level 3 Bronze Equipment. However, looking at the numbers provided by Hammer Trading, it could be seen that he not only had the Forging Design for a piece of Bronze Equipment. He must have also obtained an item that increased the success rate for forging. Other than using the Intermediate Forging Room, his success rate should be around 20%. That was why he dared to spout nonsense and took out some equipment for auction to prove his words.
However, according to Shi Fengs estimation, in order to increase his reputation, Hammer Trading lost 1 Silver Coin for every piece of Bronze Equipment he sold. Although Shi Feng did not know how much funds Hammer Trading had, he was still ten years too early to compete with Shi Feng.
Sell with 4 Silver Coins, right?
Shi Feng would sell his equipment at 4 Silver Coins as well. He had the Philosopher's Stone and the Book of Forging, so his initial cost was only a little over 10 Kopper. Including his terrifying success rate, Shi Feng hoped to see who had the last laugh.
Without holding anything back, Shi Feng immediately posted the thread on the forum anonymously. The article was titled "The staggering high quality Armor Plates in the Auction House." After which, he called out the interface for the Auction House, placing twenty pieces of the worst Glimmer Chestplate at auction.
The Healing Power on the Glimmer Chest Disc had a tremendous effect on MTs when inside the Dungeon. It was even better when compared to the Garrison Armor. When compared to the Savage Hammer Trading Chestplate, it was more than twice as good. Players would naturally know which equipment to choose when they looked at the Chest Glimmer.
"Hammer Trading, don't you want to become famous? I'll let you be very famous. I'm gonna turn you into a celebrity." Shi Feng revealed a cold smile as he closed the interface. He turned around and left the Auction House, setting up a stall outside to purchase Stones and Hard Stones.
Two minutes after Shi Feng posted his thread …
Several players noticed Shi Fengs position. The average player still pays close attention to high-quality equipment. Currently, the average player did not even possess a piece of Bronze Equipment, not to mention high-quality equipment. So, naturally, they wanted to catch a glimpse.
The moment these players arrived at the Auction House, they were stunned by what they saw.
The attributes on the Glimmer Chestplate were too good, especially Healing Power. It was definitely the most beloved Ability for an MT when inside a Dungeon.
After they finished seeing the Attributes, the players chose to try wearing them.
They saw their own appearance while wearing the Glimmer Chestplate. Streamline the mushroom, the gallant figure, and even faint radiance shot out from their bodies. There was also a black flame flashing on their left. They look so awesome! It was as if they had become heroes from the legends while wearing the Glimmer Chest, dashing and strong.
Then, they look at the selling price. This actually only required 4 Silver Coins.
These players did not dare to trust their eyes. Such advanced equipment only sold for 4 Silver Coins. If they did not buy it, they would be detrimental to their own lives. Even if they did not have much money for their people, they were willing to sacrifice everything they had to buy the Glitter Chest.
Within a short period of fifteen minutes, Shi Fengs post had become the topic of the forum. There were even players who posted the information and appearance of the Glimmer Chestplate, a piece of equipment that instantly aroused everyone's excitement. Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights could not help but wish they could obtain this top-tier equipment right then and there.
However, when they wanted to go to the Auction House and buy it, there were only four pieces of equipment left. Moreover, every single one of those pieces had a price of up to over 6 Silver Coins …
One MT from the Elite party reluctantly chose to borrow money from all over the place. In the end, he managed to win a piece for 7 Silver Coins. When the Glimmer Chestplate arrived in his hands, he no longer objected to the money he had to pay for it. With such dashing Attributes and appearance, he would have no trouble earning money in the future.
Thinking up to this point, the smile on this Shield Warrior spread widely.
