Chapter 1 A One-Time Deal?

"A one-time deal?" Shi Feng wanted to confirm again.

"That's right. He even made a special post on the official website's forum, accusing the black-hearted blacksmith who forged the Guardian Armor. That post now has over seven million hits, instantly making him a big celebrity in the White River City area. I heard that many large guilds have extended olive branches, offering high prices to recruit him." As he spoke, the logistics player looked envious, wishing he could become One-Time Deal and live a happy life of luxury cars and beautiful women.

Shi Feng simply smiled, turned around, walked to an empty seat on the other side, sat down, and brought up the official website forum.

He wanted to take a good look at this One-Time Deal who almost screwed him over.

In his previous life, One-Time Deal didn't emerge so quickly. Before being recruited by Underworld, he played God's Domain with dozens of classmates. With the support of these dozens of classmates, plus some lucky encounters, he became an intermediate forging apprentice. It was then that he met the higher-ups of Underworld. At that time, intermediate forging apprentices were rare, and the bronze equipment he forged sold very well. Underworld also wanted a piece of the pie, so they hired One-Time Deal at a high price. With the continuous funding from Underworld Studio, One-Time Deal became famous, becoming a somewhat well-known blacksmith, earning Underworld a lot of money.

Plus, One-Time Deal obtained a forging talent and Underworld's strong support, becoming a forging master. Even when he met Shi Feng, the guild leader of Underworld, he ignored him, not taking him seriously at all.

In the end, When Overlord Rules the World acquired Underworld, the Blue River Financial Group readily agreed, partly because One-Time Deal, along with several forging masters and potion masters, strongly supported it. Otherwise, the Blue River Financial Group wouldn't have agreed so readily, and he would have been fired at the same time.

Shi Feng opened the Star-Moon Kingdom forum, feeling that fate was playing tricks on him.

In this life, as soon as the Guardian Armor became popular, this One-Time Deal came out to cut off his financial path.

He had to say, One-Time Deal was incompatible with him.

He snatched One-Time Deal's forging talent, and One-Time Deal turned around and cut off his financial path.

Looking at the Star-Moon Kingdom forum, Shi Feng quickly found a red pinned post.

"Upholding Justice Starts with Me, We Must Not Let Black-Hearted Blacksmiths Run Rampant," signed by a conscientious blacksmith.

Shi Feng frowned slightly at these few bright red characters.

What was going on?

The number of hits had actually exceeded ten million!

Out of curiosity, he clicked on the post.

Looking at a lengthy, well-reasoned denunciation of over ten thousand words, it stated that the cost of a piece of level 3 bronze equipment was less than one silver coin, but the black-hearted Shi Feng was selling it for as high as thirty silver coins, which was simply outrageous. Therefore, he had to stand up and offer unlimited sales of level 3 bronze equipment, mentioning the issue of success rate, so he was only selling it for four silver coins to recover costs.

This article received widespread support from players, all claiming that they would no longer buy the Guardian Armor and supporting One-Time Deal's conscientious actions.

Shi Feng was speechless after reading it.

The entire article was smearing him, overpraising One-Time Deal, and implying that he could also forge bronze equipment.

This was obviously trying to step on him to get to the top, raising his own worth and fame, so that major guilds would extend olive branches and speculate for a better price.

But Shi Feng admitted that One-Time Deal was successful, not only becoming extremely popular, but also receiving invitations from many second-rate guilds. Even some first-rate guilds were willing to discuss cooperation with One-Time Deal.

"Damn it, not only cutting off my financial path, but also trying to step on me to get to the top." Shi Feng's anger from both lifetimes was unbearable, and he was going to teach One-Time Deal how to behave.

Was unlimited supply of level 3 bronze plate armor something to brag about?

If it weren't for being stepped on, he wouldn't want to have anything to do with One-Time Deal again, but since he had provoked him, he had to be prepared to pay a painful price.

One-Time Deal's series of denunciations and data proofs were ridiculous to Shi Feng.

A beginner forging apprentice only had a 5% success rate in making a level 3 bronze equipment, but looking at One-Time Deal's data, it could be known that One-Time Deal not only obtained the design blueprint for bronze equipment, but also obtained something to improve the forging success rate. Plus, using an intermediate forging room, the success rate should be around 20%, so he dared to boast, and took out a lot of equipment to sell to prove his words.

However, according to Shi Feng's guess, in order to increase his popularity, One-Time Deal would lose nearly one silver coin for every piece of bronze equipment he sold. Although he didn't know how much capital One-Time Deal had, but when it came to comparing capital with him, One-Time Deal was ten years behind.

Wasn't he selling it for four silver coins?

He would also sell his equipment for four silver coins. He had the Philosopher's Stone and the Book of Forging, the cost was only a dozen coppers, plus the terrifying success rate, see who laughed last.

Shi Feng wasn't polite, and directly posted an anonymous post on the forum, titled "Excellent Plate Armor Appears in the Auction House", and then brought up the auction house panel and put twenty of the worst Glimmer Chestplates on it.

The Glimmer Chestplate's healing power was very effective for MTs (Main Tanks) in dungeons, even better than the Guardian Armor, and two levels higher than One-Time Deal's Savage Breastplate. Players would naturally know which one to choose.

"One-Time Deal, don't you want fame? I'll give you great fame, so you can become a sensation." Shi Feng coldly smiled, closed the panel, turned around and left the auction house to set up a stall outside to collect stone and sturdy stone.

Just two minutes after Shi Feng posted on the forum.

Shi Feng's post was noticed by some players. Ordinary players were very concerned about excellent equipment, after all, ordinary players didn't even have a piece of bronze equipment, let alone excellent equipment, so they naturally wanted to see it for themselves.

When they rushed to the auction house to take a look, they were immediately stunned.

The attributes of this Glimmer Chestplate were too good, especially the healing power, which was definitely the most liked ability for dungeon MTs.

After reading the attributes, the players clicked on try-on.

Seeing themselves wearing the Glimmer Chestplate, the streamlined shape, handsome style, and faint glow, with a black flame mark that appeared and disappeared on the left chest, were simply too cool. Wearing the Glimmer Chestplate, it was like becoming a legendary hero, handsome and mighty, with heroic bearing.

Looking at the price again, it was only four silver coins.

The player couldn't believe his eyes, such high-end equipment only cost four silver coins, it would be letting down his life if he didn't buy it, even if he didn't have that much money, he would break the pot and sell the iron to buy it.

In just over ten minutes, the post that Shi Feng posted became popular, and some players posted the data and style of the Glimmer Chestplate, suddenly causing an uproar. Players who played Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights couldn't wait to get this high-end equipment right now.

But when they wanted to buy it, they found that there were only four pieces left, and each piece had been auctioned for more than six silver coins…

However, the MT of an elite team still gritted his teeth and borrowed money everywhere, and finally spent seven silver coins to take a picture of it. After getting the equipment, he felt that the money he owed was nothing at all. With such attributes and a handsome style, he wasn't afraid of not being able to pay it back in the future.

Thinking of this, the Shield Warrior smiled so wide that his mouth could hardly close.
