219.How to make money as a swordsmith (page 2/2)
“You haven't told me where you ordered the weapons.？”
Happy Stick asked, and Uncle Shark, who was busy moving wood, pointed to the camp and said：
“There are two brothers over there who have opened a blacksmith shop. They opened their business yesterday. It’s cheaper than what NPC sells and they can also customize the shape. It’s not just me, many brothers have ordered from them..”
“oh? Have you finally enlightened your brothers about life and career?？”
Happy Stick immediately became interested, bid farewell to Uncle Shark who was carrying bricks, mounted his horse and headed towards the camp outside the city. As a result, he saw a few people surrounding a tent from a distance, and some were trading.：
“Dude, you can customize weapons, right? Give me Frostmourne！”
“Don't make trouble, that's a two-handed sword. You can't lift it at all with a solid thing. Try another one..”
“Okay, then it’s no problem to get a Yan Mo knife.？”
“Well, that’s no problem, just pay the deposit next! I will pick it up in four days. Do I need to bring decorations and scabbard? If you want, add an extra gold coin.”
“I want a 'Zangetsu'’！”
“If you are waiting in line at the back, why do you try to imitate others and jump in line?.”
A group of new players were noisy, which made Happy Stick sigh that such skilled people could make a job anywhere. He dismounted and walked to the tent, casually grabbing a handful of curry that the two blacksmith players had just made. I looked at it in my hand.
As soon as the item identification started, Brother Bang quickly lost interest..
It's a standard recruit-level gadget. There's nothing surprising in terms of workmanship or quality. The only advantage is the unique shape and beautiful Damascus pattern..
But this is indeed better than the retinue sword used by new players now, because this thing has two more terms than the whiteboard equipment: "sturdiness and durability" and "easy maintenance"..
“Brother, are your prices a bit low?？”
After the players who customized weapons left, Brother Bang walked into the tent and said to the two professional players who were busy around the anvil.：
“I think for these two extra entries, if you set a price of 3 gold coins, some people will buy it..”
“Go! Go! Go! Where did the profiteer come from?？”
The "Hundred Forged Horse", who had made his face black and gray due to blacksmithing, waved his hands impatiently and said：
“My brothers are busy improving their blacksmithing proficiency. The purpose of selling things is to provide some benefits to the brothers. Besides, these iron ingots used to upgrade skills are publically owned by the camp. We would like to sell them more expensively, but the NPC won't let us..
If you don't want to decide on a weapon, just go ahead. I have an apprentice with me, so I don't have time to chat with you..”
“I'll order it, who's to say not to order it?？”
Happy Stick rolled his eyes, took out a small bag of gold coins from his psychic bag and threw it on the table next to him. He said to the two manufacturing players in front of him who were obsessed with forging knives and had several NPC apprentices.：
“I plan to form a guild, and I just took the opportunity to give my brothers a batch of standard weapons..”
“Oh, rich people.”
The "Master of Broken Knife" next to him picked up the small bag and glanced at it, saying：
“What style are you planning? And we have a lot of orders now. You may have to wait half a month to get the goods..”
“I'm not in a hurry.”
Brother Bang said with a smile.：
“And I don’t want these blank slates for novices. Can you make exquisite weapons with special entries?？”
After saying this, two guys who were good at forging knives in real life and who were even more comfortable in the game immediately looked at each other..
Their faces looked like "I finally met Kaizi".
Master Broken Knife rubbed his hands and enthusiastically invited Brother Bang to the tent next to him. He said：
“To be honest, brother, my brother and I are also studying the manufacturing system in this game. We discovered that in order to forge the equipment for this special entry, we need to add some special materials to it..
so！
You bring the materials we need and we only charge the labor fee.”
After saying that, under the stunned gaze of Happy Stick, a task box suddenly popped up in front of his eyes..
【Order task·'The Pursuit of Seiko' has been triggered！
Mission content: The official blacksmith of Scarlet Castle, "Master Broken Knife", requires you to help him collect a series of rare materials to forge customized weapons for you. The list of requirements is as follows.
Mission time limit: 48 hours.
Mission reward: Customized exquisite weapon X10, you need to wait for the forging to be completed before you can receive it..】
“！！！”
Brother Bang widened his eyes and looked at the smiling Master Broken Knife in front of him. He screamed：
“Can you send tasks to other players? This is really off the mark！”
“Hey, what's so weird about this? This is a unique benefit for our manufacturing players’.”
Master Broken Knife waved his hand and said：
“My buddy stays in this blacksmith shop all day long and has no interest in fighting and killing. How can he have time to go out to level up and look for materials? Doesn’t this require help from you combat professionals?.
Let’s just say it, you get the materials back and we’ll help you make sophisticated weapons, and you can also increase your proficiency by the way..
Hey, kill two birds with one stone.”
“etc.！”
This was the first time Happy Stick knew about the special mechanism of manufacturing players, and he quickly asked in confusion：
“But if you don’t use light rush skills to defeat monsters, what will you do in the Black Iron Trial?？”
“Oh, that's a trial only for your combat profession. We craftsmen don't pursue these. Our trial is called the "Craft Trial"’.”
Master Broken Knife explains：
“It can be triggered after the blacksmith profession reaches level 10. The requirement is to independently and continuously make three Seiko·Veteran weapons with more than three special entries..
Moreover, there is no conflict between manufacturing and combat occupations. Each person has three occupation columns. If you get tired of making things, just go out and fight monsters..
Anyway, I agree with the degree of freedom in this game..
By the way, will you accept my mission? Also, what kind of weapons are you going to order for your guild members? Want a fantasy style, or a more practical classic? Do you want me to recommend it to you?？”
“No need, just Kabbah.”
Happy Stick took the order and then said something. The result made Master Broken Knife's eyes light up, and he immediately knew that this person had an extraordinary origin..
he whispered：
“Want a classic or commemorative style? I told you in advance that the iron ingots provided at the camp were of average quality, so even if they were made of fine workmanship, don’t expect them to be as durable as the original ones..
In addition, you have to pay extra for commemorative money.！
And the waiting time will be longer. After all, the special anti-rust treatment and knife handle are more troublesome to make. My brother and I have to get some special tools in the game before we can start working..”
“Of course it would be better if you could make a commemorative version! Money is not an issue. You can’t buy it in reality anyway. You can just play it in the game..”
Brother Bang’s eyes lit up.
Then he looked at Master Broken Knife with strange eyes, and with a sense of awe, he whispered：
“Dude, what do you do in real life? From what you say, do you have commemorative models in hand? Not taking action？”
“Oh, I’m not very talented. I have a small knife company, so I can just make a living..”
Master Broken Knife grinned, waved his hand and said：
“It is available in stock, but I'm afraid you can't afford the price. Collectors who don't specialize in this game don't need to be taken advantage of in reality. Anyway, this game is so real, so just play it here..
My brother and I are going to start replicating classic knives in a while. How about ordering one in advance?？
Seeing as you are a kindred spirit, we can negotiate a good price..”
“OK！”
Happy Stick thought for a while and said：
“Let’s take the Imperial Command Sword first..”
“It's a piece of cake, sincere deposit is 30, full payment is 100, pick up in two months, guaranteed quality is above Seiko Veteran”
“Depend on! Why don't you go grab the money? This speed of making money makes me want to become a blacksmith..”
“Sure, my brother and I will also take apprentices and pay 10 gold coins as tuition. Shall we start now? Don't think it's too expensive. Does Mrs. Shui know? She is a famous fashion designer. She was born with the specialty of 'Master Tailor'. The three tailor NPCs in the camp are now apprentices to her. She can also receive special allowances from the administrative office..
Alas, as expected, knowledge is power.！”
