Chapter 1 Interrupted by Jack

Shi Feng was slightly surprised to be stopped by Master Jack.

"Young man, would you be willing to let me take a look at this sword?" Master Jack looked at Shi Feng, his eyes filled with intense desire, his tone no longer indifferent, but rather somewhat humble.

"This..." Shi Feng didn't expect the dignified forging master to make such a request and was a little caught off guard.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

The value of a demonic weapon was self-evident, not to mention a famous sword forged by a master craftsman. Such a sword was the lifelong pursuit of every forging master, and they would naturally want to see it.

Seeing Shi Feng's hesitation, Master Jack spoke again, "Don't worry, I'll only look at it for a moment, and I won't look for nothing. You can ask for anything in return."

Shi Feng was overjoyed to hear this.

This was a forging master!

Any piece of equipment they forged would be Xuan Tie grade, or even Mithril grade, and the only requirement was to look at the sword.

Shi Feng agreed without hesitation and handed the Abyss Blade directly to Master Jack.

NPCs couldn't snatch players' items, so he wasn't worried at all that Master Jack would steal the Abyss Blade. He could look at it as much as he wanted. When he returned it, he would ask for a Mithril grade one-handed sword, so he could unleash the true strength of a swordsman.

Master Jack held the Abyss Blade, which looked like a fire poker, praising its craftsmanship and marveling at its power. Only after more than ten minutes did he reluctantly return it to Shi Feng.

"Young man, this is a good sword with endless power, but the curse on this sword is very evil. The more you want to unleash the sword's power, the stronger the curse will become. In the end, it will trap the wielder in an endless abyss. Your strength is too weak to control this sword, and you will easily be consumed by the curse," Master Jack said earnestly.

Shi Feng naturally knew this, otherwise, he wouldn't have hesitated for so long, and only bound the Abyss Blade as a last resort.

"Master Jack, is there any way to weaken the curse?" Shi Feng asked.

Although he knew some ways to weaken it, he didn't have the ability to do so now.

"Young man, you must know that this sword was forged by the master craftsman, Olisys. There is only one in the entire God's Domain, and only thirty-five can compare to it. To give these famous swords unparalleled power, countless terrifying beings were killed. These terrifying beings are far more powerful than you can imagine. The master craftsman used their power after death and sealed it in the sword. Without extremely strong strength, it is impossible to suppress it," Master Jack said with incomparable reverence. Then he smiled and said, "But it's not like there's no way to weaken this curse."

"What method is there?" Shi Feng asked quickly.

"To suppress this powerful force, you also need another powerful force. The power sealed in the sword is a curse. To weaken it, you must have strong enough luck," Master Jack sighed. "On the God's Domain continent, there are some stones that have gathered the good fortune of God's Domain. These stones are called Lucky Stones. As long as you have a Lucky Stone, you can resist this curse. Although this stone can be found all over the continent, very few people can obtain it. Even I have never seen it. It is too difficult to find. If you can find this stone, I can help you weaken the sword's curse."

Seeing Shi Feng's dazed expression, Jack shook his head and comforted him, "Young man, you must know that Lucky Stones are very rare. It is normal if you can’t find it, no need to be discouraged. After all, people who can find Lucky Stones are favored by God, we cannot compare."

"Master Jack, is this the stone you are talking about?" Shi Feng took out the dark green Starlight Stone from his backpack and smiled slightly.

"Yes, this is the Lucky Stone..." Master Jack glanced at the dark green Starlight Stone and nodded. After a while, he froze, looking at Shi Feng as if he were looking at a monster.

Shi Feng shrugged, indicating that it was nothing.

The reason he was dazed earlier was because Jack could use the Lucky Stone to suppress the Abyss Blade. He knew that there were many forging masters in Star-Moon Kingdom, but very few could use the Lucky Stone to suppress the curse of a demonic weapon, less than five. He didn't expect Jack to be one of them.

"Master Jack, can you weaken the curse now?" Shi Feng asked expectantly.

After a long while, Master Jack regained his usual composure and pretended to be calm, saying, "Yes, no problem, I can get it done in half an hour."

Hei Zi covered his stomach, trying not to laugh, but Master Jack's shocked expression was too much to bear. He had to run into the woods to laugh out loud.

Half an hour later, Shi Feng took the Abyss Blade and found that its description had changed.

A famous sword crafted by the master craftsman Olisys using the fangs of the Black Dragon King as materials. It is one of the thirty-six famous swords of God's Domain, ranking thirty-first. However, this sword is cursed by the Black Dragon King. In addition to giving the wielder amazing power, it will periodically backlash the wielder. However, after being modified by Jack, the Starlight Stone has been added, greatly reducing the power of the backlash. If the backlash cannot be suppressed, the wielder will be cursed by the Black Dragon King, all attributes will be permanently reduced by 50%, and it cannot be dropped or traded.

Seeing this description, Shi Feng felt a lot more relaxed, at least the backlash wouldn't be too strong in the short term.

Shi Feng put away the Abyss Blade and suddenly found that Lonely Snow had sent him many messages, all asking why he hadn't arrived yet and how much longer it would take to reach Silent Forest.

"Hei Zi, let's go to the dungeon." Shi Feng replied directly with a message, saying he would be there soon.

Because of the Abyss Blade, he had completely forgotten the agreed time, making Lonely Snow wait for more than half an hour, but he would make appropriate compensation in Silent Forest.

"Okay, I'm just worried I won't have a chance to show off my new spells," Hei Zi said happily.

When Shi Feng and Hei Zi arrived at the entrance to the Silent Forest dungeon, the entire Silent Forest was already crowded with level 2 players, and many players were forming groups to enter the dungeon.

"Silent Forest is forming a group, looking for violent DPS, 4 waiting for 2."

"Silent Forest efficient team, only missing a strong healer, guaranteed to pass."

Shi Feng shook his head slightly after seeing this. In his previous life, Silent Forest had been stuck for a long time. It wasn't until most players reached level 5 that Silent Forest was cleared.

"Master, you're finally here. My friends are waiting anxiously. Let's go over quickly," Lonely Snow said anxiously, seeing Shi Feng walking over slowly.

Then Lonely Snow led Shi Feng and Hei Zi to the team's meeting place.

"Lonely, this is the master you were talking about? I thought he would have three heads and six arms, but it seems that's all he is," the male priest, Silent Summer Night, said mockingly when he saw Shi Feng wearing newbie equipment and the fire poker weapon at his waist. He didn't know where he had picked up that piece of garbage.

"Brother Silent, how can you say that about 'Master' bro? He is a glorious closed beta tester, there must be 'extraordinary skills', otherwise how dare to he black out all the equipment of swordsmen and enchanters?" The shield warrior One Battle To The End sneered aside.

The two had been upset with Shi Feng before. He wanted to black out the plate armor and magic equipment as soon as he arrived, didn't that mean they would be working for nothing? If it weren't for their boss wanting to see what Shi Feng was like, they would have already formed a team to go to the dungeon. Now that they saw Shi Feng's tattered equipment, they took the opportunity to criticize Shi Feng and make him back down.

Lonely Snow wanted to refute, after all, Shi Feng was the person he had invited, but Shi Feng's equipment didn't give him a chance to refute, so he could only remain silent.

"Okay, let's team up. Many people have already entered Silent Forest. If we don't go to Silent Forest, we probably won't have a chance to get the first clear," the handsome male ranger, Sky Net Waving, said, interrupting the conversation.

Hei Zi wanted to curse back, but Shi Feng stopped him. He didn't take the two people's mockery to heart. They had waited for them for more than half an hour, couldn't they say a few more words?

As soon as they formed a team, the shield warrior opened his mouth and said angrily, "Damn, this noob is only level 1, he's just here to scam equipment."

"Boss, Silent Forest is a level 2 dungeon. Letting a level 1 noob go to the dungeon, isn't that just waiting to die?" The priest Silent Summer Night looked at the ranger Sky Net Waving, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Lonely Snow was also surprised to see Shi Feng's level.

He knew that many players had already reached level 2, how could a closed beta tester not even reach level 2?

Boss Sky Net Waving looked at Shi Feng. He had a glimmer of expectation before, but now it was all gone. He immediately said coldly, "Have you died once before?"

"No," Shi Feng shook his head and said honestly, "But level 1 is enough to go to Silent Forest."

"Then you can leave. We don't need 'masters' like you here, I hope you can understand," Sky Net Waving frowned slightly and said coldly.

"Boss, there must be a misunderstanding, how about we try it first," Lonely Snow explained.

"Try it?" The priest Silent Summer Night sneered, "Who will be responsible if we die? You need to know that even if you die in a dungeon, you will lose experience points, although it is a small amount, but it is still 10%. Can this noob afford this loss?"

"Silent, don't make things difficult for Lonely," the ranger Sky Net Waving said repeatedly, "Lonely, I know you are protecting this swordsman, but I have to be responsible for the team. I will only find experienced players to go to the dungeon, I won't waste time with newbies. You have two choices now, one is to follow us to the dungeon, and the other is to leave the team with them."

"I'll leave the team," Shi Feng didn't want to embarrass Lonely Snow, so he left the team directly and turned to leave, "Hei Zi, let's go find people to go to the dungeon."

"Okay," Hei Zi grinned and left the team without saying a word.

"Hmph, the 'master's' identity has been exposed, he knows that he can't scam equipment, so he left on his own, he's quite self-aware," the shield warrior mocked with a grin, "Lonely, you are so naive, you are the only one who will be deceived by such a noob, you have to follow Sky Net Boss and learn more."

Lonely Snow's face was livid, but he didn't think he had misjudged. Shi Feng was definitely a master.

"Sky Net Boss, I'm sorry," Lonely Snow also chose to leave the team, preparing to follow Shi Feng to see if his judgment was correct.

"You!" The ranger Sky Net was stunned. He didn't expect Lonely Snow to be so decisive. He was simply stupid. If it weren't for Lonely Snow's good skills, he would have kicked Lonely Snow out a long time ago.

The priest Silent Summer Night looked at Lonely Snow and sneered, "Lonely, don't regret making such a choice. When we clear Silent Forest and get the best equipment, you will regret it, regret for ten years, regret for twenty years, that you didn't follow Sky Net Boss."
