Chapter 77 - Menambahkan Bahan Bakar ke Api⁠‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌⁠

Meskipun Shi Feng hanya bertanya dengan santai, kepala Stabbing Heart tiba-tiba berputar, matanya menatap Shi Feng dengan penuh harapan. Dengan ekspresi bersemangat di wajahnya, dia bertanya, "Mungkinkah... Brother Ye Feng, kamu memiliki Desain Tempa Glimmer Chestplate?"

Saat ini, Desain Tempa untuk Equipment Bronze diperebutkan dengan gila-gilaan oleh Guild-Guild besar, semuanya bersaing dengan kedalaman dukungan finansial mereka. Tidak ada yang bisa memastikan dengan pasti berapa sisa Desain Tempa Glimmer Chestplate yang akan dijual. Mungkin Guild kelas satu akan membeli semua Desain Tempa itu; kesempatan Guild kelas dua untuk mendapatkannya mungkin tidak akan pernah datang.

Jika dia bisa mendapatkan Desain Tempa untuk Equipment Bronze sekarang, maka Aliansi Assassin bisa selangkah lebih maju dari Guild kelas dua lainnya. Mereka akan mampu membangun reputasi yang bagus dan mendapatkan keuntungan besar. Pada saat itu, mereka akan memiliki peluang lebih besar saat bersaing memperebutkan Kota White River.

Namun, Shi Feng hanya menggelengkan kepalanya.⁠‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌⁠

Semangat Stabbing Heart yang tadinya membara tiba-tiba padam, menjadi sedih. Namun, setelah dipikirkannya lagi, selain Black Flame Forger dan Hammer Trading, belum ada pemain ketiga yang bisa mengeluarkan Desain Tempa. Bagaimanapun juga, item semacam itu bergantung pada keberuntungan untuk mendapatkannya.

"Tidakkah kamu ingin menawar Glimmer Chestplate? Aku bisa meminjamimu beberapa uang," kata Shi Feng dengan nada santai.

Stabbing Heart tersadar. Shi Feng memang sangat kaya. Terlihat jelas bahwa dia memiliki banyak harta dari caranya mengeluarkan 20 Koin Perak tanpa kesulitan. Namun, dibandingkan dengan Guild kelas satu itu, perbedaannya masih terlalu jauh. Sudah bagus jika Shi Feng memiliki 30 sampai 40 Koin Perak. Karena itu, Stabbing Heart berkata sambil menghela napas, "Brother Ye Feng, bukannya aku tidak percaya padamu, tapi harga Desain Tempa Glimmer Chestplate terlalu tinggi. Hanya 20 atau 30 Koin Perak tidak akan banyak membantu."

"Oh, kalau begitu berapa banyak yang kamu butuhkan untuk menawarnya?" tanya Shi Feng dengan percaya diri.⁠‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌⁠

Meskipun Shi Feng tidak tahu berapa banyak yang dibutuhkan untuk menawar Desain Tempa itu, dia memiliki lebih dari 4 Koin Emas yang dia dapatkan dari dua Desain Tempa yang terjual. Uang dari dua item ini sudah disimpan di tasku, jadi dia yakin dia bisa menawar Desain Tempa Glimmer Chestplate ketiga dengan sukses. Dia juga bisa membuat Stabbing Heart berhutang budi padanya dengan melakukan itu. Bagaimanapun juga, Koin-koin ini tetap akan berakhir di tangannya. Mengapa dia menolak keputusan ini?

Hasil dari Desain Tempa Glimmer Chestplate jauh melampaui ekspektasi Shi Feng. Dengan banyaknya Guild yang mengerahkan segalanya, bersaing untuk Desain Tempa itu, tidak heran ada kekurangan mata uang game, menyebabkan harganya melonjak. Namun, situasi ini adalah kabar yang sangat baik bagi Shi Feng. Jika Shi Feng tidak menambahkan bahan bakar ke api sekarang, dia tidak akan memberi keadilan pada kerja kerasnya yang panjang.

Stabbing Heart mengangkat tiga jari, berkata dengan tak berdaya, "Persaingan sekarang semakin memanas. Menurut perkiraanku, kita butuh setidaknya 3 Koin Emas untuk mengamankan tawaran. Kalau tidak, tidak ada harapan untuk sukses."

"Berapa banyak yang kamu miliki di sisimu?" tanya Shi Feng, mengambil inisiatif. Dia tidak berniat meminjamkan 3 Koin Emas sekaligus kepada Stabbing Heart.⁠‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌⁠

"Aku punya 2 Koin Emas 10 Perak. Sangat sulit mengumpulkan mata uang game saat ini, karena Guild lain sudah membeli hampir semuanya. Aku sudah berencana untuk menyerah dalam kompetisi ini, dan sebagai gantinya, pergi naik level," kata Stabbing Heart sambil menghela napas.

"Kalau begitu aku akan meminjamimu 90 Perak. Dengan begitu, kamu akan mengumpulkan 3 Koin Emas," kata Shi Feng sambil tersenyum. Dia segera memilih untuk bertransaksi dengan Stabbing Heart, menempatkan 90 Koin Perak di Jendela Perdagangan.

Stabbing Heart tiba-tiba terkejut saat melihat 90 Koin Perak di dalam Jendela Perdagangan. Dia tidak membayangkan Shi Feng akan memiliki uang sebanyak itu. Juga, Shi Feng juga telah menghabiskan lebih dari 10 Koin Perak barusan. Bukankah itu berarti Shi Feng memiliki setidaknya 1 Koin Emas pada dirinya?

Jika Aliansi Assassin tidak mengerahkan semua upaya mereka untuk mengumpulkan dana, maka dana likuid Guild akan mirip dengan jumlah yang dimiliki Shi Feng. Namun, mereka adalah Guild kelas dua, dan jumlah anggota Guild mereka lebih dari 20.000. Mereka juga memiliki tim pengumpul uang khusus 500 orang. Sementara itu, uang yang Shi Feng hasilkan sendirian, sebenarnya kurang lebih sama dengan Guild mereka.⁠‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌⁠

"Brother Ye Feng, terima kasih, sungguh! Aku akan membalas budi ini di masa depan!" seru Stabbing Heart dengan bersemangat, "Namun, aku tidak bisa membiarkan Brother merugi. Besok, aku pasti akan mengembalikan 1 Koin Emas kepadamu."

Saat ini, mata uang game God's Domain sangatlah berharga, terutama di periode di mana Desain Tempa sedang diperebutkan. Awalnya, Stabbing Heart ingin membelinya menggunakan Kredit. Namun, ketika dia memikirkan betapa berharganya mata uang game, sulit untuk membelinya, bahkan jika dia punya uang. Lagipula, Shi Feng tidak kekurangan Kredit. Karena itu, dia tidak berani mengucapkan kata-kata itu dan malah memilih untuk mengkompensasi Shi Feng dengan bunga 10 Koin Perak.

Namun, Shi Feng menjadi sedikit tidak bisa berkata-kata karena dia hanya menginginkan Kredit. Dia sedang menanggung hutang besar saat ini. Selain workshop dan sewa yang dia butuhkan di masa depan, dia sangat membutuhkan uang. Apa yang akan dia lakukan dengan banyak mata uang game itu? Bagaimana bisa itu lebih dapat diandalkan daripada Kredit?

Semakin awal dia memulai Workshop-nya, semakin awal dia bisa merekrut anggota party yang stabil. Ketika dia bisa masuk ke Dungeon skala besar, dia akan bisa menghasilkan uang lebih baik, naik level, dan meningkatkan reputasi Workshop, membangun fondasi yang lebih baik untuk mendirikan Guild-nya. Jika dia mulai terlalu terlambat, akan sulit bahkan untuk menginjakkan kaki di Kota White River. Setiap momen sangat berharga sekarang.⁠‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌⁠

"Brother Stabbing Heart, jangan katakan begitu. Jika kamu tidak muncul hari ini, aku tidak akan bisa menghindari pertarungan berdarah. Aku berhutang budi padamu, jadi untuk 90 Perak ini, aku akan menjual setiap Koin Perak kepadamu seharga 60 Kredit. Setiap Guild akan membutuhkan Koin di tahap awal game, jadi kamu tidak perlu sungkan padaku," kata Shi Feng dengan nada tulus.

Stabbing Heart langsung tersentuh oleh kata-kata Shi Feng. Dia berpikir bahwa Shi Feng adalah teman yang layak untuk dikenal. Jika dia mengembalikan 1 Koin Emas kepada Shi Feng besok, itu akan menyebabkan cukup banyak masalah bagi operasional Guild. Lagipula, membina Forger dan membeli material membutuhkan banyak Koin. Tidak ada yang lebih baik daripada membelinya menggunakan Kredit.

"Aku tidak bisa cukup berterima kasih kepada Brother Ye Feng! Namun, 60 Kredit itu terlalu rendah. Aku tidak tega membelinya dengan harga itu, dan mengatakannya saja akan membuat orang lain menertawakanku. Aku akan membeli setiap Koin Perak seharga 80 Kredit dengan total 7.200 Kredit. Aku akan mentransfernya ke akunmu segera." Stabbing Heart sangat gembira. Bahkan jika Shi Feng keberatan dengan masalah ini, Stabbing Heart tetap akan dengan keras kepala mentransfer semua 7.200 Kredit ke Shi Feng.

"Brother Ye Feng, aku akan pergi untuk menawar Desain Tempa itu dulu! Jika kamu memiliki masalah di masa depan, jangan ragu untuk menghubungiku. Aku pasti akan mengerahkan segalanya untuk membantumu."⁠‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌⁠

Setelah selesai berbicara, Stabbing Heart buru-buru pergi bersama bawahannya ke Rumah Lelang.

Melihat tambahan 7.200 Kredit di rekening banknya, Shi Feng tersenyum tanpa daya. Opininya tentang Stabbing Heart semakin baik di hatinya.

Saat ini, rekening banknya memiliki lebih dari 20.000 Kredit; uang untuk dua Helm Gaming Virtual sekarang sudah aman. Setidaknya, dia tidak akan kehilangan Helm Gaming Virtual setelah durasi 7 hari berakhir dan kehilangan kemampuan untuk bermain God's Domain.

Tugas yang tersisa adalah menghasilkan lebih banyak uang dan mengumpulkan dana sebelum dimulainya Pesta Persekutuan sekolah. Siapa tahu, dia mungkin mendapatkan kesempatan besar di Pesta Persekutuan itu, membangun fondasi yang kokoh untuk Workshop-nya.⁠‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌⁠

Di kehidupan Shi Feng sebelumnya, Shadow telah mendapatkan kesempatan besar di Pesta Persekutuan. Justru karena kesempatan inilah yang memungkinkan kekuatan Shadow Workshop meningkat pesat, memberi mereka kepercayaan diri untuk bersaing dengan Guild kelas tiga lainnya memperebutkan hak kontrol atas Kota White River.

Di kehidupan ini, karena dia akan menghadiri Pesta Persekutuan, dia tidak akan melepaskan kesempatan besar ini, tentu saja. Dia akan bersaing sekuat tenaga.

Setelah itu, Shi Feng mencari Hotel dan menyewa kamar tamu di sana.

Di Kota Red Leaf, Nama Merah di atas kepalanya terlalu mencolok. Jika dia tidak mencari cara untuk menanganinya, setiap tindakannya akan menarik perhatian pemain di sekitarnya.⁠‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌⁠

"Tidak kusangka aku harus menggunakan item ini secepat ini," Shi Feng mengeluarkan Topeng Iblis dari tasku. Dia tidak bisa menahan diri untuk tidak menggelengkan kepala dan tertawa.

Jika dia tidak memiliki item ini, dia akan benar-benar kesulitan menyelesaikan masalah Nama Merahnya.

Setelah memakai Topeng Iblis, Shi Feng menyesuaikan penampilan wajahnya. Penampilan barunya sangat berbeda dari dirinya yang asli. Pada saat yang sama, Nama Merahnya juga berubah menjadi hijau. Jika orang lain tidak memiliki Skill Pengamatan level tinggi, mereka tidak akan bisa menembus penyamarannya.

Setelah memastikan tidak ada masalah, Shi Feng menaruh sisa 3 Koin Emasnya ke Pusat Perdagangan Virtual; setiap Koin Perak dijual seharga 80 Kredit. Berdasarkan tingkat persaingan saat ini, selama Aliansi Assassin berhasil menawar Desain Tempa itu, Guild kelas satu dan Guild kelas dua lainnya kemungkinan besar tidak akan bisa tinggal diam. Persaingan saat itu akan lebih gila dari sekarang. Shi Feng tidak khawatir mata uang game-nya tidak akan laku.⁠‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌⁠

Tepat saat Shi Feng hendak meninggalkan Hotel, sebuah kesadaran mendadak melintas di benaknya. Dia dengan ringan menepuk dahinya sendiri.

"Bagaimana bisa aku melupakan benda ini! Sekarang aku punya Topeng Iblis, bagaimana bisa aku tidak menggunakannya dengan benar?" Shi Feng menampakkan senyum cerah.

Chapter 77 - Adding Fuel to the Fire

Although Shi Feng only casually asked, Stabbing Heart’s head, however, abruptly spun, his eyes looking at Shi Feng with anticipation. With an excited expression on his face, he asked, “Could it be... Brother Ye Feng, you have the Glimmer Chestplate Forging Design?”

Currently, Forging Designs for Bronze Equipment were madly fought over by the large Guilds, all of them competing with the depth of their financial backing. Nobody could firmly say the remaining number of Glimmer Chestplate Forging Designs that would be sold. Maybe the first-rate Guilds would buy up all the Forging Designs; second-rate Guild’s chance to obtain one might never come.

If he could obtain a Forging Design for a Bronze Equipment right now, then the Assassin’s Alliance could stay a step ahead of the other second-rate Guilds. They would be able to create a great reputation for themselves and make a large profit. At that time, they would have a greater chance when competing over White River City.

However, Shi Feng simply shook his head.

Stabbing Heart’s excited mood was suddenly extinguished, becoming downhearted. However, after he gave it some thought, aside from the Black Flame Forger and Hammer Trading, there had yet to be a third player who could bring out a Forging Design. After all, such an item depended on luck to obtain it.

“Didn’t you want to bid for the Glimmer Chestplate? I can lend you some money,” Shi Feng said in an unhurried tone.

Realization struck Stabbing Heart. Shi Feng indeed was very rich. It was obvious that he had considerable possessions from the way he was able to take out 20 Silver Coins without effort. However, compared to those first-rate Guilds, the difference was still far too great. It would be amazing if Shi Feng had 30 to 40 Silver Coins. Hence, Stabbing Heart said with a sigh, “Brother Ye Feng, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but the Glimmer Chestplate Forging Design’s price is just too high. Just 20 or 30 Silver Coins won’t be very useful.”

“Oh, then how much do you need to bid for it?” Shi Feng confidently asked.

Although Shi Feng did not know how much was needed to bid for the Forging Design, he had over 4 Gold Coins that he obtained from the two Forging Designs that were sold. The money from these two items had already been deposited in his bag, so he was certain he would be able to bid for the third Glimmer Chestplate Forging Design successfully. He could also make Stabbing Heart owe him a favor by doing so. In any case, these Coins would still end up in his hands. Why would he be against this decision?

The results of the Glimmer Chestplate Forging Design far surpassed Shi Feng’s expectations. With this many Guilds going all out, competing for the Forging Design, it was no wonder there was a game currency shortage, causing the price to soar. However, this situation was a very good news to Shi Feng. If Shi Feng did not add fuel to the fire right now, he would not be doing his long period of arduous effort any justice.

Stabbing Heart raised three fingers, helplessly saying, “The competition right now is becoming increasingly heated. According to my estimates, we would need at least 3 Gold Coins to secure the bid. Otherwise, there is no hope for success.”

“How much do you have on your side?” Shi Feng asked, taking the initiative. He did not intend to lend Stabbing Heart 3 Gold Coins in a single breath.

“I have 2 Gold 10 Silver. It is extremely hard to collect game currency right now, as the other Guilds have purchased almost all of it. I have already planned to give up the competition, and instead, go and level up,’ Stabbing Heart said with a sigh.

“Then I’ll lend you 90 Silvers. That way, you will have collected 3 Gold Coins,” Shi Feng said, smiling. He immediately selected to trade with Stabbing Heart, placing 90 Silver Coins in the Trade Window.

Stabbing Heart was suddenly shocked when he saw the 90 Silver Coins inside the Trade Window. He did not imagine Shi Feng would possess that much money. Also, Shi Feng had also spent over 10 Silver Coins just now. Didn’t that mean that Shi Feng had at least 1 Gold Coin on his person?

If the Assassin’s Alliance did not put all their efforts into collecting funds, then the Guild’s fluid funds would be similar to the amount Shi Feng possessed. However, they were a second-rate Guild, and their Guild members numbered over 20,000. They also had a specialized 500-man money-farming team. Meanwhile, the money Shi Feng had earned, alone, was actually more or less the same as their Guild.

“Brother Ye Feng, thank you, truly! I will repay this favor in the future!” Stabbing Heart excitedly exclaimed, “However, I can’t just let Brother take a loss. Tomorrow, I will definitely return 1 Gold Coin to you.”

Currently, the game currency of God’s Domain was extremely precious, especially in this period where Forging Designs were being competed over. Originally, Stabbing Heart wanted to purchase it using Credits. However, when he thought about the preciousness of the game currency, it was hard to buy, even if he had the money. Moreover, Shi Feng did not lack Credits. Hence, he did not have the nerve to let those words leave his mouth and instead chose to compensate Shi Feng with an interest of 10 Silver Coins.

However, Shi Feng had become slightly speechless as he only wished for Credits. He was shouldering a large debt right now. In addition to the workshop and the rent he needed in the future, he was desperately in need of money. What would he do with that much game currency? How could it be as dependable as Credits?

The earlier he started his Workshop, the earlier he could recruit stable party members. When he could enter large-scale Dungeons, he would be able better earn money, level up, and increase the Workshop’s reputation, building a better foundation for establishing his Guild. If he started too late, it would be hard even to set foot in White River City. Every moment counted right now.

“Brother Stabbing Heart, don’t say it such. If you didn’t show up today, I would not be able to avoid a bloody battle. I owe you a favor, so for these 90 Silvers, I’ll just sell you each Silver Coin at 60 Credits. Every Guild would be in need of Coins in the initial stages of the game, so you don’t have to be polite with me,” Shi Feng said in a sincere tone.

Stabbing Heart was immediately moved by Shi Feng’s words. He thought that Shi Feng was a friend who was worth knowing. If he returned Shi Feng 1 Gold Coin tomorrow, it would cause quite a lot of trouble to the Guild’s operation. Moreover, nurturing Forgers and purchasing materials required large sums of Coins. It couldn’t be any better if he purchased them using Credits.

“I can’t thank Brother Ye Feng enough! However, 60 Credits is a little too low. I don’t have the nerve to buy them at that price, and just saying it would cause others to make fun of me. I’ll buy each Silver Coin for 80 Credits for a total of 7,200 Credits. I’ll transfer them to your account immediately.” Stabbing Heart was very joyful. Even if Shi Feng were to have complaints about the matter, Stabbing Heart would still stubbornly transfer all 7,200 Credits to Shi Feng.

“Brother Ye Feng, I’ll be leaving to bid for the Forging Design first! If you have any problems in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’ll definitely go all-out to help you.”

Finished speaking, Stabbing Heart hurriedly left with his subordinates to the Auction House.

Seeing the additional 7,200 Credits in his bank account, Shi Feng helplessly smiled. His opinion of Stabbing Heart grew even more favorable in his heart.

Currently, his bank account had more than 20,000 Credits; the money for two Virtual Gaming Helmets was now secured. At the very least, he would not lose the Virtual Gaming Helmet after the 7-day-duration was up and lose the ability to play God’s Domain.

The remaining task he had was to earn even more money and collect some funds before the start of the school’s Fellowship Party. Who knew, he might obtain a great chance at the Fellowship Party, building an unshakable foundation for his Workshop.

In Shi Feng’s previous life, Shadow had obtained a big chance at the Fellowship Party. It was precisely because of this chance that allowed Shadow Workshop’s strength to greatly increase, giving them the confidence to compete with other third-rate Guilds over controlling rights for White River City.

In this life, since he was to attend the Fellowship Party, he would not let go of this great opportunity, naturally. He would compete for as much as he could.

Following which, Shi Feng looked for a Hotel and rented a guest room there.

In Red Leaf Town, the Red Name above his head was too eye-catching. If he did not look for a way to deal with it, his every action would attract the attention of surrounding players.

“I never thought I would have to use this item this quickly,” Shi Feng took out the Demon Mask from his bag. He could not help but shake his head and laugh.

If he did not have this item, he really would a difficult time solving the matter of his Red Name.

After wearing the Demon Mask, Shi Feng adjusted his facial appearance. His new appearance was very different from his original self. At the same time, his Red Name also turned green. If others did not possess a high-leveled Observation Skill, they would not be able to see through his disguise.

After confirming that there were no problems, Shi Feng placed his remaining 3 Gold Coins onto the Virtual Trade Center; each Silver Coin was sold for 80 Credits. Based on the current level of competition, as long as the Assassin’s Alliance successfully bid for the Forging Design, those first-rate Guilds and other second-rate Guilds would most likely be unable to sit tight. The competition then would be more insane than now. Shi Feng was not worried that his game currency would not sell.

Just as Shi Feng was about to leave the Hotel, a sudden realization flashed past him. He lightly tapped his own forehead.

“How could I forget about this thing! Now that I have the Demon’s Mask, how can I not properly use it?” Shi Feng revealed a bright smile.
