Chapter 130 Arcane Shield

Ba Tianzhan Xiong and Shusheng Tanxiao, seeing Shi Feng's smile, felt quite indignant because they interpreted it as mockery and disdain, making them very displeased.

Although Shi Feng's smile wasn't intended to mock them, it was simply out of joy.

However, compared to when they first met Shi Feng, Ba Tianzhan Xiong and Shusheng Tanxiao now had more wariness in their eyes and dared not underestimate him.

Being able to produce so many gold coins at once suggested that Shi Feng had a powerful force behind him. They just didn't know what kind of force it was.

Ba Tianzhan Xiong's face was unsightly, as he had failed to complete the task assigned by the guild leader, but there was nothing he could do about it.

135 gold was more than their entire Xiong Ba Tianxia could gather, so it was normal that they couldn't afford it.

Compared to Ba Tianzhan Xiong, Shusheng Tanxiao was in a much worse state.

First, he messed up the transaction, and then he came to the auction, only to fail to buy anything. He didn't know how to explain it to the guild leader, Rongguang Huixiang, when he returned.

However, Shi Feng was very grateful to Shusheng Tanxiao because, thanks to his greed, he had acquired a great deal of forging materials.

The reason Shi Feng was smiling was that the materials for making the Arcane Shield, the main materials being mithril ore and gold ore. Shi Feng could still get his hands on mithril ore, but gold ore was too scarce. There wasn't much in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom, let alone White River City. However, Huanghun Huixiang had given him quite a bit, enough for him to make many Arcane Shields. As for the other part of the material, the Magic Spirit Crystal, which was a guaranteed drop from team dungeon bosses, it wasn't that precious, but the drop rate was low, making it difficult to produce Arcane Shields in large quantities.

In addition, the Arcane Shield's attributes were excellent, beyond Shi Feng's imagination. He could already imagine how popular the Arcane Shield would be.

Arcane Shield, Shield, Fine-Gold Rank, Equipment Level 15, Equipment Requirement: 90 Strength, Defense 460, Defense Rate 37%, Strength +15, Stamina +25, Evasion +8. Passive Skill 1: Voice of Life, for every damage received, gain one layer of Life Force, increasing maximum health by 3% and healing effect by 1% for one minute, stacking up to 10 times. Passive Skill 2: Refraction, triggers every 30 seconds, granting immunity to one instance of damage.

Not to mention the extremely high defense and defense rate, just the Voice of Life, which increased maximum health by 30%, and Refraction, greatly enhanced the MT's (main tank) endurance. Not to mention the shield's base attributes were very good, making it definitely a top-quality piece of equipment.

If five or six MTs were equipped with this Arcane Shield, there was a chance of clearing the normal difficulty 50-man team dungeon.

"It's time to go back." Shi Feng was very satisfied with this trip to Blackwing City. It could be said that he had gained a lot.

First, he earned a contract worth 50 million credits, then he recruited Shuise Qiangwei, and now he had obtained the Arcane Shield. Most importantly, Shuise Qiangwei brought over a hundred elite players, greatly increasing Shi Feng's strength. Next was the problem of how to integrate them.

"More than a hundred people. Shuise Qiangwei really helped me a lot. Now I don't have to worry about not having enough people to raid Demon's Ancient Castle." Shi Feng felt that the studio alone was no longer enough and needed to make some preparations and start a reservation plan in advance.

After leaving the Blackwing Auction House, Shi Feng immediately mailed 300 gold to Shuise Qiangwei and then returned to White River City, preparing to quietly wait for Shuise Qiangwei and the others to arrive at the Starstreak Trading Firm.

However, it usually took half an hour to an hour to receive the mailed money.

So Shi Feng went to the Adventurer's Association first.

Currently, none of the guilds in White River City had guild residences. Members of various guilds came to the Adventurer's Association to accept guild quests to increase guild honor and strengthen their guilds. Therefore, coming to the Adventurer's Association had become the second most lively place in White River City.

As soon as Shi Feng entered the Adventurer's Association, his communicator rang.

"It can't be this fast." Shi Feng thought it was Shuise Qiangwei contacting him, but he was slightly surprised to see that the ID displayed was Bai Qingxue. "Could it be about the Mana Armor Plates again?"

Last time, Shi Feng used a lot of Primary Mana Armor Plates to exchange for several Advanced Whetstone Design Drawings for Youyu Weixiao and Shuang Keke to learn. During this time, both of them had become Intermediate Forging Apprentices and were striving to become Advanced Forging Apprentices.

It had to be said that they were worthy of being future forging masters. Their improvement speed was extremely fast, and the more they forged, the higher their success rate became. Now, their success rate was around 20% when making only Advanced Whetstones, which was much better than the forgers of other guilds. It was likely that they would be able to advance to Advanced Forging Apprentices in a few days and become his true strength.

"Miss Bai, do you have new Advanced Whetstone Design Drawings?" Shi Feng asked.

"Black Flame Master, you've been hiding it from me so well. You didn't even notify me about such a big thing, which makes me a little sad," Bai Qingxue said with a faint smile.

"Hiding? Miss Bai is joking. I'm very shallow and easily seen through," Shi Feng joked.

"Alright, stop pretending. You were in the limelight at the Blackwing Auction House before. This matter has already spread among the major first-rate guilds. Everyone wants to cooperate with you to buy Arcane Shields," Bai Qingxue said with a light laugh. "We're old partners, so you can sell them to me cheaper, right?"

"Miss Bai's news is really well-informed," Shi Feng said with a wry smile. "I can sell some Arcane Shields to Miss Bai, but they must be paid for in gold coins, or exchanged for Magic Spirit Crystals you obtained from team dungeons."

"Magic Spirit Crystals, although every boss will drop them, the drop rate is extremely low, but they have a wide range of uses. I'll just buy them with gold coins. I wonder how much Black Flame Master is asking for?" Bai Qingxue understood Magic Spirit Crystals very well, so she shook her head, not wanting to exchange them.

"Alright, I won't try to trick you, Miss Bai. As a Fine-Gold shield, I think you also know that the materials for making it are very precious, and the success rate of making it is extremely low. One Arcane Shield is 25 gold, no bargaining." Shi Feng knew that Bai Qingxue wouldn't exchange them, but it was better to buy them with gold coins.

"25 gold! Even our entire Devouring Serpent doesn't have that much liquid capital right now. Can't you exchange it for credits? How about 500,000 credits each?" Bai Qingxue was also taken aback, but she also knew the difficulty of making Fine-Gold shields. If it were another forger, the cost price alone would probably be above that. However, buying them for 25 gold now was obviously impossible, unless the guild stopped developing. But in the current stage, not developing meant regressing, and development must not be stopped.

But now all the guilds were vying for the first clear of the 50-man team dungeon, and this Arcane Shield was a chance to take the lead, so it was a must-have.

A difficult choice, Bai Qingxue could only smile wryly, helpless.

"Alright, I'll exchange them with Magic Spirit Crystals." Bai Qingxue felt very helpless. The dignified first-rate guild, Devouring Serpent, was not as rich as a free player. Black Flame was simply a monster.

"Okay, the exchange rate is 1 to 100. I'll notify you after I make them."

Shi Feng hung up the communicator with a smile, then entered the Adventurer's Association.
