The Strongest Sword God Reincarnation
Chapter 43.Forging Books

Shi Feng took the key to the Intermediate Forging Room and climbed onto the second floor, ignoring the seducing young lady.

The first floor of the Forging Association contained only the Basic Forging Room, while the Intermediate Forging Room was located on the second floor.

When compared to the first floor, there were fewer people on the second floor. There were only NPCs walking around. Players would absolutely not come to this place. Also, there were only twenty Intermediate Forging Rooms, unlike the Basic Room, which numbered fifty.

Shi Feng entered the Intermediate Forging Room. The room was much bigger and smoother. The facilities available are also better than the Base Room, especially Palu and Fire. Both of these items are completely unusual.

Shi Feng raised a silvery-white hammer that was placed on the matting of iron.

[Hundred Hammer of Purification] (Bronze Level)

Forging Goods: When Forging, the success rate increases by 3%.

Requirements: Power 4

Just this Hundred Refinements Hammer alone was difficult for players to obtain. The best hammer that NPCs sell is the Common Hammer. The hammers did not increase the success rate of Forging. As for stealing this Hundred Refinements Hammer, it was an impossible task. Items belonging to the Forging Room could not be retrieved by the player.

The fire here is amazing too. Not the usual bright red color, yellow color, The fire here is burned with green, red. It was not a common Flame, but a Mysterious Flame.

Shi Feng looked at the description.

Scarlet Demon Flame (Tier 1 Mysterious Flame)

Special Item: Have very high temperature. Goods melted with Fire will have higher purity. When refining potions or forging items, there would be a definite increase in success rate.

Mysterious Flame was a rare and powerful Flame. These flames had varying strengths, and they could be categorized into nine tiers. The first level was the weakest, while the ninth level was the strongest. However, even the first level of Mysterious Flame was not something that players could easily obtain.

Due to the rarity of this Mysterious Flame, the price within the God's Domain was extremely high. Including the fact that both the Potion Making and Forging required Mysterious Flames, the price of Mysterious Flames was even more shocking.

There was once a Tier 4 Flame that caused dozens of first-rate Groups to fight over it. After the deaths of millions of players, the Flame finally ended up in the hands of the World Dominators. Not long after, the Potion-Creating Master in World Dominators rose to become a Potion-Creating Grandmaster, increasing the World Dominator's influence by a huge leap.

Shi Feng had a great longing within him when he saw the burning Mysterious Flame. It was the thirst of a Forger.

Just when Shi Feng was thinking hard, he suddenly recalled a problem.

In the second month the God's Domain operated, a third-rate group, Glorious Light, had discovered a Tier 2 Mysterious Flame, the Ice Demon Blue Flame. The fire was found in the Hundred Ghost Forest, and its discovery sparked the great jealousy of the other Group. At that moment, many Lifestyle players had signed up to join the Glorious Light Group, allowing the power of the Group to suddenly increase and become the tyrant of a small City. However, there were also many Groups that gathered information in secret, wanting to obtain a Mysterious Flame for themselves. Of course, Shadow was no exception to this.

Shadow had discovered the location and method of obtaining the Mysterious Flame from Glorious Light's inner circle. Unfortunately, such Mysterious Flames only appeared once, never appearing again after they left. This discovery caused many Groups to waste their efforts.

As he thought about those Ice Demon Blue Flames, Shi Feng suddenly began to have intentions towards these Mysterious Flames. If he could make this his own, it would definitely help him greatly in the future when he started his own Group. Moreover, this Flame would be of great help in propelling Shi Feng to become a true Forger [1].

However, Shi Feng still needed to have a proper plan in place to obtain that Ice Demon Blue Flame. He needed to prepare a lot of things before he could obtain the Flame.

Following which, Shi Feng picked up the Garrison Armor Forging Design. Without wasting any time, he immediately chose to study it.

System: You have learned how to forge the Garrison Armor.

Shi Feng was a Basic Forging Practitioner. His success rate for forging Level 0 Common Equipment did not exceed 20%, and after a successful forging, there was a 40% chance for him to obtain 1 Skill Point. If Shi Feng were to forge a Garrison Armor, a Tier 3 Bronze Equipment, his chances of succeeding would not exceed 5%. Successfully forging a Bronze Equipment would provide an additional bonus, which was a 100% chance of obtaining 2 Skill Points.

However, 1000 Skill Points were required to become an Intermediate Forging Practitioner. Getting such a large number of points requires equally large funds to support. There was no way for Lifestyle players to support such a large sum of money themselves.

The Forgers in the Group started off by forging Common Equipment. Not a single Group would allow these Lifestyle players to forge Bronze Equipment directly from the first blow. To begin with, they didn't even have a Forging Design for Bronze Equipment, and even if they had, they wouldn't have done such an action. The success rate of a Basic Forging Practitioner was too low, and the materials required were too expensive. One failure would cost 1 Silver Coin or more. It was a loss that not even the Group could handle. Moreover, they were not even able to gather a lot of materials to make the equipment.

However, Shi Feng did not have such worries. He had the Philosopher's Stone, so he didn't lack resources. After all, the materials needed to make the Garrison Armor were cheap. It only required 5 bottles of Magic Essence, 5 pieces of Bronze Ore, and 20 pieces of Copper Seeds. The cost of making the Garrison Armor was only 80 Copper Coins. When compared to the cost of manufacturing other Bronze Equipment, it was at least 20 Copper cheaper. The Garrison Armor also had excellent Attributes, so it was very welcome. Shi Feng did not need to worry about figuring out how to sell it.

The most important thing was the Book of Forging.

Forging Books could increase the success rate of forging Common Equipment by 70%, Bronze Equipment by 50%, Mysterious-Iron Equipment by 30%, Secret Silver Equipment by 20%, Pure Gold Equipment by 10%, Dark Gold Equipment by 5%, and Epic Equipment by 1%.

With such Attributes, the Forging Book could allow players to become a Forging Master easily and unhindered.

Basic Forging Practitioners originally had a 20% success rate when forging Common Equipment. Including 70% of the books, the success rate would be 90%. Further including the facilities of the Intermediate Forging Room and eliminating the possibility of errors, the success rate of General Equipment manufacturing was 99% or higher. Unless the player is a pig [2], failure is impossible.

The terrifying ability of the Forging Book was clearly visible from this.

As for the Garrison Armor, Shi Feng had a 5% success rate for making it. Including 50% of the books, 3% of the room's facilities, and also the effects of the Mysterious Flame, Shi Feng now had a 60% success rate for making the Garrison Armor. Not to mention Bronze Equipment, even if Common Equipment had a 60% success rate, it would still drive Forging players crazy. A high percentage for success was something that the Forgers could not imagine.

Following which, Shi Feng began to slowly make the Garrison Armor in accordance with the requirements of the Forging Design. First it melts Copper and Bronze Ore in the fire. After being in the fire for five minutes, the ore began to melt and form a lump. Following which, Shi Feng added the Magic Essence, letting it burn for a minute before taking out the hot red ore and placing it onto the metal Felt. The extremely hot temperature of the ore caused Shi Feng to sweat. However, Shi Feng did not dare to be careless, as the following process was the most important part.

After finishing the preparations, Shi Feng held the Hundred Refinements Hammer and prepared it to hammer the fiery ore.

Dang...

Fireflowers flew in all directions. The sound of a hammer resounded throughout the vast Forging Room.

Shi Feng struck each punch with meticulous precision.

In his previous life, Shi Feng had not learned Forging. He's just learning the Collecting skill. However, he still knew a lot about Forging. After all, he had quite often conversed with the Forging Master, so he was knowledgeable to the degree of not making certain low-level mistakes.

After hammering the ore over a hundred times, Shi Feng felt that it was perfect. Shi Feng wiped away the sweat on his forehead, selected the red ore interface carefully and pressed the Finish button.

After which, the red hot ore started to change. Within five seconds, it turned into a silvery-gray armor. On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with that. However, the success of forging equipment did not only depend on its appearance; there was also its quality. Quality including Attributes and equipment ratings.

Poorly forged Bronze Equipment would lower their rank to General, or their basic Attributes would not conform to standards.

Hence, Shi Feng chose the information from the armor, checking whether it was a success or a failure.

TL Notes:

[1]A true Forger \=> this part refers to the rank for Forging namely Forging Practitioner -> Forging -> Master Forging -> Grandmaster Forging

[2] Unless that player is a pig \=> An idiot
