Chapter 42 - Elemental Refinement

Forging Association, inside a Forging Room .

Shi Feng took out a stack of Stone, placing it on the table .

A stack of Stone had a hundred pieces in total . They immediately filled up the round table; some even fell to the ground .

"Time to see how good you actually are," Shi Feng smiled as he retrieved the crimson red Philosopher's Stone .

If the Philosopher's Stone were seen by someone else, the consequences Shi Feng would face would be immense . Hence, Shi Feng rented a Forging Room . Without his permission, nobody could enter the room .

Shi Feng took a piece of Stone from the table and used the Philosopher's Stone on it .

 System: Do you wish to use the Philosopher's Stone for Elemental Refinement?

Shi Feng immediately chose 'Yes . ' Following which, the Philosopher's Stone started emitting a faint red glow; a mysterious power flowed into the Stone .

Peng!

The Stone the size of a fist suddenly turned into yellow sand, scattering to the ground . The result was a failure .

However, Shi Feng revealed a calm smile at the result . It did not perturb him in the slightest . Afterward, he picked up another Stone and tried again .

Ore was very precious . A normal Copper Ore sold for 2 Coppers; they were only worth 1 Copper Coin if sold to an NPC . A stack of 100 Copper Ore could be sold for 200 Copper Coins to Guilds, and they would still fight over them . Compared to a stack of Stone, which only sold for 10 Copper Coins, Copper Ore was just too expensive .

Elemental Refinement extracted the Metal Element out of the Stone . However, some Stones did not possess any Metal Element . So, it was only natural that they turn to sand . Such failures were just too common .

Peng… Peng… Peng…

There was still no ore after ten consecutive tries . Shi Feng started becoming depressed . The success rate was just too low .

Shi Feng even started to suspect that these Stones were picked from a desert to result in all the yellow sand .

"Relax, relax . There are still many Stones left . " Shi Feng sucked in a deep breath, reassuring himself .

He picked up another piece of Stone, trying Elemental Refinement once more .

Peng!

This time, the Stone still scattered into a pile of sand . However, in the middle of the yellow grains, there was a piece of metal that had a purplish-red luster . It was Copper Ore .

With the first piece of Copper Ore in his hands, Shi Feng let out a relaxed breath . His hands started moving at a faster pace .

All the Stones above the stone table turned into yellow sand within moments . The stack of Stones had yielded a total of 23 pieces of Copper Ore and 2 pieces of Bronze Ore . Compared to Copper Ore, the price of Bronze Ore was three times that of Copper Ore; they were worth 3 Copper Coins when sold to NPCs . Due to the rarity of Bronze Ore, players would buy them at 7 Copper Coins a piece .

Seeing the ores on the table, Shi Feng felt the Philosopher's Stone was truly a gold mine . Even if the Philosopher's Stone was currently damaged, it was still out of the ordinary . It was no wonder why many kingdoms were willing to muster up their armies and fight for the Philosopher's Stone . Having the Philosopher's Stone in hand was the equivalent of having a wealthy treasury . At that time, a kingdom would find it hard not to become prosperous .

Shi Feng kept the ores on the table and brought out another stack of Stones .

Stack after stack of Stones disappeared, whereas the amount of yellow sand had piled up into a small hill . Fortunately, the Forging Room could be cleaned of rubbish with just a click of a button . After pushing the Clean button, the small hill of yellow sand vanished from sight .

After spending an hour's time, Shi Feng had refined 40 stacks of Stones . He had obtained a little over 7 stacks of Copper Ore and a little over 1 stack of Bronze Ore . They would be worth over 20 Silver Coins if Shi Feng sold them . Meanwhile, the cost of obtaining these ores were only four Silver Coins . The difference was five-times the price . It was an absolute profit .

Most importantly, ores dropped in very small numbers, so it was impossible to buy them in bulk .

Shi Feng received a System Notification the moment he had left the Forging Room .

System: The Violent Bear Armor you placed at the Auction House has been sold . After deducting the procedural fees, 31 Silvers 53 Coppers have been placed in your bag .

System: The Dark Star Boots you placed at the Auction House has been sold . After deducting the procedural fees, 3 Silvers 21 Coppers have been placed in your bag .

    ……

A series of notifications from the Auction House had caused Shi Feng's lips into a smile .

"As expected, the greater the competition, the higher the price would go" Shi Feng was very satisfied with the amount the items sold for . He never imagined that a Mysterious-Iron Plate Armor for Shield Warriors could actually be sold for over 30 Silver Coins . It seems there were a lot of wealthy people within the area of influence of White River City .

After selling the equipment, Shi Feng had suddenly become a wealthy tycoon . With over 50 Silver Coins in his pockets, even his confidence was different now .

Currently, players would still be happy over having twenty to thirty Copper Coins on their person . Shi Feng already possessed more than 50 Silver Coins . Including the Silver Coins Gentle Snow owed him, if Shi Feng were to sell off the Copper Ore he had immediately, he would instantly become wealthy with gold .

However, he would not sell the ores . These ores were the foundation for Shi Feng to earn big money .

Following which, Shi Feng rented the Forging Room for another hour . He turned the remaining Stones into ores . His luck was better this time around . From 45 stacks of Stones, he obtained 10 stacks of Copper Ore and 2 stacks of Bronze Ore .

With this, Shi Feng had a total of 17 stacks of Copper Ore and 3 stacks of Bronze Ore . It would be quite some time before Shi Feng could use them all up .

With money in hand now, Shi Feng once more arrived at the central area of the Forging Association, at the administration area . Currently, there were quite a few Forger players, that were groomed by Guilds, renting Forging Rooms .  

"This is just evil . It actually costs 5 Coppers for an hour . My Guild just gave me 30 Coppers . That's not enough at all . "

"That's considered good already . At least the equipment is all there . Look at the Forging equipment . Even the most common required a few Silvers . An entire set would cost over 30 Silver Coins! It's just a blatant rip-off!"

"You still haven't seen the Intermediate Forging Room . It costs one Silver an hour, but the room only increases your success rate by 3% . Even a first-rate Guild would not be able to handle such a price . "

A few Forgers continuously complained . They bitterly detested the prices set by the Forging Association . However, there was also a hint of bragging carried in their voices . After all, they had the support of their Guilds, whereas normal players wouldn't even be able to rent a Forging Room, not to mention increasing their Forging Levels .

Shi Feng circled these players, walking towards the manager of the Association, saying, "I want to rent an Intermediate Forging Room . "

"May I know how long you wish to rent it for?" The ashen youth who was the Association's manager excitedly asked .

Currently, a majority of the adventurers were poor blokes . Every one of them only rented the Basic Forging Rooms, and even then, they rented with unwillingness . So, a great change occurred to the manager's servicing attitude when he was able to see a rich adventurer like Shi Feng .

Looking at the time, it was currently morning in the real world . When using the Virtual Gaming Helmet, a person could not stay within God's Domain for too long .

"Two hours then . " Shi Feng said after some thought .

"Alright, here is your key . That will be a total of 2 Silver Coins . " The manager handed the key over to Shi Feng, smiling .

Shi Feng took out two shiny Silver Coins, placing them on the table and turning around to leave .

The players who had previously been discussing the deviousness of the Forging Association were all dumbstruck . They even thought they were hallucinating . However, they were indeed Silver Coins on the table, and not the scarlet-yellow Copper Coins .

"Crap, a tycoon!" A male Elementalist said in envy .

"Brother Tycoon, Little Sister knows how to warm beds . " Another pretty and flirtatious female player winked at Shi Feng, flattering him .

"Isn't it just some dirty money? I will definitely become an Intermediate Forging Apprentice a step ahead of him," a male Priest said in a sour tone, even though he knew it to be impossible . The facilities of the Intermediate Forging Room were much better than the Basic one . On the surface, the room itself only increased the success rate of forging by 3% . However, including the facilities that came with the room, the success rate was increased by at least 5% .

To a Forger, a difference of 5% success rate was like the difference between heaven and earth .
