The blacksmith's owner said eagerly, "Please help us! Let's work together!"
As his voice fell, an emotionless mechanical voice sounded in Yan Yu's mind:
[Triggering side quest...]
[Ding, congratulations to player Yan Yu for completing the side quest - working in the blacksmith shop, experience points +30, free attribute point +1, copper coins +50]
At the invitation of the blacksmith shop owner, Yan Yu had the right to use the forging room, and the previously used E-level equipment blueprint was also given to her for free.
Equipment blueprints were rare and expensive. A single E-level dagger blueprint was worth 5 gold coins, and a D-level one was worth as much as 100 gold coins.
Judging from the selling price of the finished equipment, at least several hundred finished products must be produced to recoup the investment, not including costs and labor.
It's such a rip-off.
For Yan Yu, who only had 120 copper coins on him, the E-level equipment blueprint was like a luxury item. Getting it for free was simply the best.
Therefore, when Yan Yu discussed the commission with the blacksmith shop owner, he only asked for a 50-50 split and did not exploit him too much.
After all, the blacksmith shop owner not only gave away equipment drawings, but also provided raw materials, a separate forging room, food, accommodation, and forging assistants for free.
Yan Yu only needs to activate his talent, so this deal is a great deal.
The E-grade dagger made by Wang the blacksmith is sold for 80 copper coins, while the dagger she made is estimated to be worth 150 copper coins. She can take a commission of 75 copper coins for each dagger.
You can earn a few gold coins by forging a few hundred swords a day.
Add to that those upgraded D-level and C-level daggers, and you’ll make a killing!
After politely declining the assistant sent by the boss, Yan Yu went straight into the forging room and closed the door.
The room has been replenished with thousands of iron ores. Blacksmiths Li and Wang have low talent levels, so in order to improve work efficiency, their assistants need to pre-process the iron ores in advance, but she doesn't need it.
Yan Yu observed how long it took the two of them to make a dagger, which was about 2-3 minutes. Blacksmith Li was slightly faster than Blacksmith Wang.
Moreover, the two of them had to rest for a while after forging ten pieces. Maybe it had something to do with their energy?
Yan Yu tried it himself, and after making all 1,000 pieces of iron ores into daggers within two hours, he still didn't feel tired at all.
The talent of the God-Maker is truly extraordinary. It is so “fast, good and economical”.
It saves time and energy, and the equipment produced is of extremely high quality. There are a total of 500 daggers, 400 of which are E-level, 88 are D-level, and 12 are C-level.
Not to mention those D-level and C-level daggers, just with the E-level ones that can be handed over, she can draw 400*75=30,000 copper coins, which is 3 gold coins!
Now she can go buy the storage ring she has been coveting.
There was only one in the store, so we had to hurry and buy it.
Without the storage ring, the high-level daggers she made would be discovered sooner or later. Once the SSS-level talent was exposed, the consequences could be imagined.
Yan Yu didn't want to gamble his own safety on the bottom line of everyone in the blacksmith shop.
Of course, these 400 daggers cannot be handed over to the blacksmith shop owner all at once. It would be suspicious no matter how you look at it if he could produce equipment that far surpasses that of Blacksmith Li in such a short period of time.
Blacksmith Li can produce about 50 swords in two hours. She can't produce too many, but she must produce a little more than him to prove her potential and pave the way for buying another D-level equipment blueprint in the future.
So Yan Yu planned to hand over 60 E-level daggers first, and then sell 3 D-level daggers and 1 C-level dagger to the blacksmith shop owner.
The reason was ready: those high-level weapons were part of the inheritance left to her by her father.
Blacksmith Shop Owner: "These weapons have very good properties. Do you really want to sell them to me?"
Yan Yu nodded and made up an excuse: "I want to buy some property in the village. These things are useless to me. I might as well use them to arm more people."
The owner of the blacksmith shop never thought that these things were all forged by Yan Yuxin. After all, she has a family background in blacksmithing, and daggers are one of the most common weapons. Anyone would subconsciously think that they were made by the "father" she mentioned.
"Okay, regular D-level equipment costs 300 copper coins. Your D-level daggers have high attributes, so let's calculate it as 500 copper coins each. This flame dagger will give you 2 gold coins, plus the commission from the other 60 daggers, for a total of 2 gold coins and 60 silver coins."
Yan Yu took the money and asked the boss for a lock to lock the forging room, saying that she didn't like others touching her work supplies, and then went straight to the store.
At this moment, the sun was setting, smoke was curling up in the village, and more villagers were appearing on the road.
Yan Yu also saw seven or eight players mixed in.
The players were generally in poor condition, their clothes were tattered, with many scratches and claws from unknown monsters, as if they were fleeing.
Of course, there are also a few who are in good spirits. They hold weapons, wear armor, and have a proud look on their faces. They must have adapted well.
Yan Yu was worried that the storage ring would be bought by this guy who was obviously not short of money, so he didn't bother to find out the information and rushed into the store in the center of the village like the wind.
Seeing that the ring was still on the shelf, Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, I want that storage ring."
"Boss, I want that storage ring."
Two voices sounded at the same time.
Yan Yu's heart skipped a beat and she slowly turned her head, only to see a tall young man standing behind her against the light, his index finger also pointing at the only ring.
The young man was wearing a standard set of armor and had a blue cloth strip tied on his right arm, which was the patrol team's logo.
Compared to Yan Yu, the outsider, the patrol team members are obviously more valued.
Sure enough, the shop owner didn't even look at Yan Yu. He took off the ring and handed it to the young man: "Captain Wang, thank you for your hard work on patrol."
The young man smiled and handed over a gold coin.
"You already have a storage ring, why do you need to buy another one?" The shop owner casually stuffed the gold coins into the cash box and chatted with the person.
The young man said, "I bought it for my brother. He's been asking for it. He got first place in the hunting class this time, so I bought it as a reward."
"You are such a good brother."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and the young man took the storage ring and left. During this time, Yan Yu did not insist on asking "Why sell it to him and not to me".
One is the patrol captain who has the most power in the village except for the village chief, and the other is an insignificant vagrant. It is obvious who to choose.
There's no point in making a fuss.
If the situation gets out of hand and they kick us out of the Novice Village, it will be more trouble than it’s worth.
After the patrol captain left the store, Yan Yu approached and asked, "Boss, do you have any other storage rings in the store?"
"No more, that was the last one. If we go to the city to buy more, we'll have to wait until next month. Please wait a little longer."
Yan Yu smiled bitterly. She wanted to wait, but the survival game didn't allow her to.
Almost, almost bought it.
Yan Yu walked out of the store and stared at the patrol captain's back in the distance, feeling lost.
Soon, she caught a glimpse of the weapon on his waist, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly chased after him.
"Captain Wang, wait for me!"
The young man turned around in confusion: "Who are you? What's the matter?"
Yan Yu smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I want to do business with Captain Wang."
"If you want to do business, go to the store owner. I have nothing to discuss with you."
The young man had a dignified look on his face and refused decisively.
