'If he wanted to attract the attention of first-rate Guilds and stand out, then he has no reason to hide his name. There would be plenty of large Guilds contacting him. However, he has hidden his name, preventing anybody from contacting him. That means that he does not wish for others to know of his identity. Yet, he still competed with Hammer Trading, lowering the price for his equipment and letting everyone know of him once more. Now that he has entered our eyes, at the most heated moment, he suddenly withdraws from the competition and fades out of our sight once more.

'He has continuously brought us three different kinds of forged equipment. Being able to obtain that many Forging Designs for Bronze Equipment shows that he has great strength. Yet, why would he suddenly withdraw? What is this Black Flame Forger's goal? Or did he withdraw because he already achieved his goal?

'Until now, I still don't know what that Black Flame Forger is trying to do. He is filled with mystery in all aspects.'

'Snow, how about I have someone research this forger? Hearing you say so, even I want to see what kind of person he is.'

After hearing Gentle Snow's analysis, realization struck Zhao Yueru. She suddenly grew an interest towards this Black Flame Forger. She also felt this person was not simple. Her interest towards the Black Flame Forger's identity overflowed. Just the thought of being able to expose this person's identity made her feel slightly excited.

Meanwhile, inside an Intermediate Forging Room on the second floor of the Forging Association...

'Everyone, how goes your consideration?' Hammer Trading sat cross-legged, casually asking as he looked at the representatives of the first-rate Guilds with narrowed eyes.

However, the conditions set out by Hammer Trading caused these first-rate Guilds to go silent.

Hammer Trading's conditions were too harsh. Just the villa he wanted in the city he lived in and the annual salary of five million Credits would cause these Guilds to take a step back, not to mention that he wanted all resources to be prioritized to him. Such treatment was most likely only enjoyed by the Guild Leader and the Vice Leader. Meanwhile, Hammer Trading wanted the same treatment as them. Then, didn't that mean he would be on equal footings with the Guild Leader and Vice Leader?

'You guys have to think through this clearly. It isn't easy for me to earn such a great reputation. As long as I join your Guild, your popularity will immediately soar and surpass the other Guilds. You won't have a shortage of Bronze Equipment and will be able to earn a large sum of money because of my forging techniques. The price I've given shouldn't be considered much,' Hammer Trading said with a smile. His face held an expression that said, 'If you don't recruit me, there will be others who will. Don't regret it when that time comes.'

Hammer Trading had these first-rate Guilds eating out of the palm of his hand. Right now, each of these first-rate Guilds wanted to be a step ahead of the others. If so, they would be able to have a larger advantage in taking hold of a City. The wealth that came with possessing control over a virtual City was not something a mere five million Credits and a villa could compare to. Hammer Trading's asking price could be considered low.

Looking at the representatives of these first-rate Guilds, although their expressions held hesitation, their eyes flashed with the conviction of recruiting him. Hammer Trading suddenly felt his action of investing all of his possessions into the competition this time was truly wise. If he hadn't steeled his heart to borrow money from loan sharks at the last second, he might have actually lost to the Black Flame Forger. Fortunately, the Black Flame Forger bit the dust a step earlier than he did, allowing him to taste the final fruit of victory.

Just as Hammer Trading was being pleased with himself, the expressions of the numerous representatives around the conference table suddenly changed. Each and every one of them revealed expressions of shock and ecstasy.

'Brother Hammer Trading, I am truly sorry, but our Guild has decided to withdraw from this competition and yield to the other Guilds. Our Guild won't be joining anymore, and I still have matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving,' Star River Federation's representative suddenly said.

'This price is just too high. Our Guild can only give up as well. We can only hope to cooperate with you in the future.'

......

For a moment, all the Guild representatives started leaving. Moreover, every one of them seemed to be in a hurry. It was as if they could not help but to immediately run to some other place, not wanting to waste even a little time.

'What do you all mean? Not negotiating anymore? You guys better not regret it. I'm a Forger that can craft Bronze Equipment! I won't join in the future, even if you all beg me!'

'Is being able to forge Bronze Equipment amazing? Right now, the Auction House is selling Forging Designs for Bronze Equipment. With the Forging Design, we can nurture our own forgers. We don't need to spend as much as five million Credits at all,' one of the representatives coldly laughed at Hammer Trading before leaving the Forging Room.

'What did you say? Speak clearly before you leave!' Hammer Trading abruptly stood up after hearing this. He thought he had heard wrong.

Chapter 71 — Focus of the Auction House

Seeing as everyone had left, Hammer Trading sat in his chair, paralyzed. Both his eyes had a lifeless look in them.

There was actually someone who was selling Forging Design for Bronze Equipment at the Auction House? How was this possible?

Hammer Trading had no way of understanding such behavior. It was as foolish as literally handing the keys to a treasury filled with gold to someone else.

Only a brain-dead person would do such an idiotic action.

'No, they must be trying to trick me.' Hammer Trading abruptly stood up, calling out the official forum. He wanted to make these people regret. He wanted to rip them off for daring to look down on him.

However, when Hammer Trading looked at a few pinned discussion threads, he became instantly dumbfounded. There really was an idiot who was selling a Forging Design!

Bronze Equipment Forging Design appearing in the Auction House! Pictures as evidence available!

Clicking on the thread to take a look, Hammer Trading's mind went thoroughly blank.

The Forging Design was actually for the Glimmer Chestplate. It was the equipment previously sold by the Black Flame Forger. Everyone was very aware of how good the Attributes on this item were. It was an absolutely top-tier item.

If a first-rate Guild were to get ahold of this Forging Design, they would not need him.

This was because fame served little purpose to a first-rate Guild. Previously, he dared to act presumptuously because he learned the Forging Design for the Savage Chestplate. Now that others had a better Forging Design, who would pay him any heed?

In the discussion, many first-rate Guilds declared the Forging Design to be theirs, and they would fight whoever dared competed with them over it.

Hence, everyone had started paying attention to the problem of the ownership of this Forging Design. There was no longer anybody who paid attention to Hammer Trading. Instead, each and every one of them was joyful over his misfortune, making fun of his end.

This incident led everyone to admire the mysterious player who was selling the Forging Design. This mysterious player's means were extremely great, and people could not help but praise him. There was practically no blood seen when he killed. He only used a piece of paper to cause Hammer Trading, the rising star that received the envy and admiration of tens of thousands, to fall from his heavenly altar, tumbling down into the bottomless abyss and never being able to climb back up.

Hammer Trading already bore a bitter hatred towards this player who sold the Forging Design. Just when his life of luxury was within his reach, it was all destroyed. Moreover, it was destroyed by a person who was brain-dead.

Fear not a god-like rival, but fear a pig-like ally. Now, that saying needed an additional verse: and fear more a foolish passerby.

Hammer Trading's eyes had currently turned crimson, his face extremely ashen. His expression alone was enough to devour a person.

'Not good. I definitely must buy it no matter the price. As long as I buy it, I can get back all the advantages. At that time, not only will I have the Savage Chestplate, but I will also have the Glimmer Chestplate. When that time comes, those first-rate Guilds will have to prostrate and beg before me.' Hammer Trading's current expression was just like a gambler who lost badly. He placed all of his hopes on buying out the Glimmer Chestplate Forging Design.

Thinking up to this point, Hammer Trading was no longer able to hold himself back as he swiftly rushed towards the Auction House.

However, it was not just Hammer Trading who was rushing towards the Auction House. There were also the upper echelons of various Guilds of various Towns under the influence of White River City. All of them wanted to purchase the Forging Design. After all, everyone knew how powerful the Glimmer Chestplate was. Owning the Forging Design was the equivalent of owning a mountain of gold.

This incident caused an uproar at the Auction Houses of the various Towns in White River City. The Auction Houses became unusually lively as players pushed against one another inside the building. The Auction Houses were filled to the entrances, making it hard for players even to enter.

Meanwhile, the competition for the Glimmer Chestplate Forging Design entered into full swing. Every one of the Guilds had bid high prices. Within ten short minutes, the price for the item had reached 1 Gold Coin.

That's right; it was 1 Gold Coin. That was practically a large Guild's entire fluid funds.

In such a way, the price of the Forging Design constantly rose without any signs of stopping.

'Guild Leader, I don't have enough money anymore. What do we do now?'

'Crap, how can that be? I gave you 1 Gold and 20 Silvers; how can that not be enough?'

'But... it's selling at 1 Gold 56 Silvers now...'

'Crap, these people are insane. It's just a Forging Design. Hold on a bit; I'll immediately ask for some money from the money-farming team. I don't believe we can't get it.'

As the price of the Glimmer Chestplate Forging Design rose, bit by bit, each of the various Guilds was constantly raising funds. They contacted money-farming teams, their Guild members, and in the end, even purchased from the Virtual Trade Center.

Meanwhile, Shi Feng, the cause of all this madness in White River City, had just comfortably arrived at the Library.

'Revered Miss Sharlyn, I have brought the items you requested. Can you dispel the curse for me now?' Shi Feng sincerely took out 2 Gold Coins, 30 pieces of Moonstones, and the Teleportation Magic Orb.

After seeing the glittering Gold Coins, Sharlyn nodded her head in satisfaction. However, similar to the Holy Mother, Sharlyn shook her head and said in a pitiful tone, 'Adventurer, you have truly astonished me. You managed to gather all the needed materials in such a short period. If I had known earlier, I would have told you that the Moon Drip ceremony possessed tiers.'

'Tiers?' Shi Feng looked at Sharlyn's regretful expression, and he could not help but feel slightly odd about the situation. It was as if he was a mouse being stared at by a cat.

'Mmhmm.' Sharlyn sighed, saying, 'The Moon Drip is a very ancient ceremony. In fact, aside from having a dispelling effect, there are still other effects. However, for convenience's sake, the ceremony was only used to dispel curses after constant alterations, while the other effects were greatly weakened. If you pay another 3 Gold Coins, I can gather all the needed materials to carry out the complete Moon Drip ceremony. Aside from helping you dispel the curse, it will also give you a unimaginably 'big harvest.' Won't you reconsider it?'

'Big harvest,' when Sharlyn uttered these two words, her voice sounded exceptionally loud, making it sound as if this 'big harvest' was something amazing.

However, Shi Feng knew that the Sharlyn before him had some kind of see-through skill. Otherwise, how could she have guessed that there were still 3 Gold Coins inside his bag? He already wasted 3 Gold Coins to dispel the curse, and he did not wish to become a sucker.

As if having seen through Shi Feng's thoughts, Sharlyn added, 'Adventurer, do you know of the legend about the Demon Slaying Sword Saint, Celius? Legends has it that Celius was cursed by the Great Demon King, undergoing torment for a long period. However, after experiencing untold hardships, he finally discovered a method to dispel the curse, which was the Moon Drip. After undergoing the Moon Drip ceremony, he obtained a new life. He received matchless strength from the ceremony, thereby allowing him to defeat the Great Demon King and becoming a legendary Sword Saint on the continent of God's Domain. Don't you think the 'Sword Saint' Celius was very mighty?'

As she was speaking, Sharlyn's doll-like eyes constantly snuck peeks at Shi Feng. She constantly let out lamented sighs at the mention of 'Sword Saint.'

'...' Shi Feng suddenly became speechless.

Watching Sharlyn's actions, it was clear they were saying, 'The Sword Saint is beckoning at you. Youngster, won't you give it a go?'

Shi Feng glanced at Sharlyn's face, full of smiles, and his heart filled with helplessness. This Sharlyn was a diamond salesperson!

Although Sharlyn possessed an unruly temperament and criminally attractive body, asking for 6 Gold Coins was just a huge scam! 6 Gold Coins! That was equivalent to 36,000 Credits!

Very well. His heart was moved. If he could become a Sword Saint in the future, it would all be worth it.

The new wouldn't come if the old didn't go.

'Esteemed Miss Sharlyn, I wish to try the complete Moon Drip ceremony. Will there be any danger?' Shi Feng unwillingly dug out another 3 Gold Coins.

After receiving the Gold Coins, Sharlyn happily smiled as she said, 'You can be at ease, Adventurer. Although this is my first time, my skills are very good. Even my teacher praised me as a genius. Let us begin right away.'
