Storytelling and singing serve to persuade others. Three main roads lead to the center; in the end, good and evil will be rewarded. The righteous path in the world is fraught with hardships.
Picking up from where we left off, last time we mentioned that, under the forging skills of Choba345, the player Sanguine Thousand Miles from the Sanguine Alliance successfully obtained his very first God-grade equipment.
The subsequent system announcement served as a wake-up call for other guilds, prompting them to contact Fearless to express their willingness to exchange their mining areas for a chance to forge equipment.
The leaders of the major guilds hurriedly arrived at the Quan Zhen Sect's base, creating a bustling scene.
To be honest, aside from the time it was attacked, this was the first time so many people gathered at the Quan Zhen Sect's base.
Seeing these guild leaders e to offer their mining areas, Evil Rampage was overjoyed...
Materials are indeed precious, but pared to mining areas, they are like paring eggs to chickens. Using a little material without engaging in battle to exchange for a mining area in a main city is undoubtedly very advantageous for Evil Rampage.
However, at this moment, the happiest person was not Evil Rampage but Choba345 in the forge.
As the saying goes, it's rare to find a kindred spirit in life.
As an unfulfilled secondary profession player, before meeting Wang Yu, Choba345's life had been quite bleak; deep down, he craved recognition from others.
Now, with so many leaders of major guilds traveling from afar to seek his forging skills, the sense of recognition in Choba345's heart was unprecedentedly fulfilled, and his mood naturally improved, along with his state.
Predictably, the second piece of equipment forged by Choba345 was another piece with maximum attributes.
Amidst the gasps of amazement from everyone, Qiaoba handed the equipment to the player named "Don't Cry, Grim Reaper", but upon receiving it, Grim Reaper's expression was one of disappointment.
Blacksmiths, like chefs, are craftsmen who don't fear their items not selling but worry that others won't like their creations.
Seeing the disappointment on Grim Reaper's face, Qiaoba felt as if he were a chef who had cooked a dish that nobody wanted to eat. He felt a pang of anxiety and cautiously asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like it? Did something go wrong?"
"No, no, no..." Grim Reaper waved his hand, a bit disappointed. "Actually, I'm quite satisfied, but why isn't it an unnamed item..."
"Huh!!"
Hearing Grim Reaper's words, the onlookers around him nearly spat in disbelief.
Who would have thought that this guy, looking like a twisted melon, was actually a perfectionist. The chance of forging an unnamed item is as rare as a regular player successfully soloing a god-level boss. Even though Choba345 is a master blacksmith, he can't possibly have every piece be unnamed.
He had already forged a piece with maximum attributes; what more could one want? Such dissatisfaction was truly infuriating.
Grim Reaper wasn't a fool and could certainly read the emotions of those around him, but as a perfectionist, he sighed and stepped aside.
Just as Grim Reaper was feeling down, Qiaoba's second piece of equipment was also pleted. Once the attributes were displayed, the equipment owner gasped in surprise.
Seeing this, Grim Reaper was momentarily stunned and quickly opened the details of Qiaoba's second piece, which turned out to be an unnamed item.
"Hiss..."
The other onlookers gasped in shock.
Even if they hadn't crafted before, they had at least heard of the chances of unnamed items. With millions of blacksmiths in the game, and with the game being live for over half a year, there had been fewer than ten unnamed items, highlighting just how low the chance was.
Yet within less than half an hour, Qiaoba had forged two unnamed items. Such an astonishing occurrence was simply unbelievable.
Originally, Grim Reaper had been using the probability issue to console himself, but seeing that Qiaoba had crafted another unnamed item, his frustration reached new heights.
Damn it, three pieces of equipment, two unnamed, and he just happened to miss out—why...
Just as Grim Reaper was caught in his tangled thoughts, someone nearby approached the owner of the unnamed item and asked, "Hey, I think I saw you give the blacksmith something besides the blueprint earlier."
"Of course!" The person rolled his eyes. "How could a blacksmith forge without materials?"
"????"
Hearing this, Grim Reaper was utterly perplexed. "Materials? Didn't they all e from the Quan Zhen Sect?"
"Yeah..." The others nearby frowned in confusion. Before ing here, they had consulted Fearless multiple times.
"I don't know…" The person shrugged, glancing at Sanguine Thousand Miles in the distance. "It was that guy from the Sanguine Alliance who told me that I needed to bring my own materials."
"Um..."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Suddenly, someone in the crowd murmured, "What a coincidence, all the people who brought their own materials ended up with unnamed items..."
The speaker had intention, and the listeners understood.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a tightening in their chests.
Could it be? What kind of coincidence is this? The chance of forging an unnamed item is so low that crafting one could be considered a fluke, but crafting two in a row, and both using self-provided materials? If that's a coincidence, it's an extraordinary one. Clearly, the issue lay with the materials.
Players from major guilds, especially the leaders, tended to be showy and loved to maintain appearances. Carrying a handcrafted unnamed item was like flaunting a limited-edition global bag.
While the materials needed for ancient-level equipment are rare, for the heads of major guilds, obtaining them was hardly a problem. Since everyone had already brought such expensive blueprints, they wouldn't hesitate to spend a few thousand gold more on materials.
After all, being able to show off a handcrafted unnamed item in public not only symbolizes strength but also represents a certain honor.
Most players would be more than willing to spend a few thousand gold to acquire a limited edition God-grade equipment to attract attention.
As a result, those players who hadn't brought materials began purchasing them from Evil Rampage.
This sudden turn of events caught both Evil Rampage and the Quan Zhen Sect off guard.
As insiders, the Quan Zhen members knew this was just a coincidence… Seeing everyone so superstitiously buying materials left them utterly baffled.
What on earth is going on? This time, with Evil Rampage sponsoring the Quan Zhen Sect, it was a sincere offer of free materials to forge equipment...
But these players from major guilds didn't appreciate it at all; instead, they insisted on spending money to buy materials…
Sigh, is it really that hard to do something good sincerely in today's society?
