The dagger was that obsidian Blade of the Wind and also the highest level weapon in Wang Yu’s bag. More importantly, this weapon was full of Assassin skills so to Wang Yu, it was useless. Hence, he did not feel heartbroken to put it in.
Sanguine Wolf would be heartbroken instead. He was still thinking of how to take it back from Wang Yu. This was the end of it as Wang Yu treated it as a disposable item…
Only such a spendthrift Wang Yu could take an obsidian weapon as a disposable item.
After all, obsidian equipments were hard to come by, much less a weapon, and even much less, the best quality weapon this season for Assassins, a popular job.
After putting the dagger into the sacrificial offering column, Wang Yu clicked on reforge. Suddenly, two empty boxes below the sacrificial offering column.
Wang Yu opened the empty boxes and they showed: Blueprint column. Martial Artist’s Regret has many weapon states for battles. With a blueprint, you can increase the number of states.
“This is possible?” Seeing the blueprint column introduction, Wang Yu got excited.
At the moment, Martial Artist’s Regret had four states, sword, pole, boxing gloves and Universe Sword. To the various monsters in <<REBIRTH>>, these interchangeable weapon states could not meet Wang Yu’s demand for his weapons.
Usually, Wang Yu chose his own long-short swords, and since there was only one slot for the backup weapon, Wang Yu was very limited. Since reforging could increase the weapon’s states, it was a pleasant surprise to Wang Yu.
Seeing this option, Wang Yu put down everything on the table then asked those below watching, “Who has a blueprint? I’ll buy it!”
As a Blacksmith, usually, they would not be lacking blueprints. Now that Wang Yu was their idol, hearing that he was looking for it, everyone raised their hand and said, “Me, I have…”
Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Wang Yu was flattered and said, “Don’t push. What blueprints do you have?”
“I have a blueprint for swords,” the player right in front said.
Swords were one of the most important weapons of the Sword and Magic Era. Warriors and Knights both used swords and even daggers could be used as single-handed swords. Warriors were the second most popular job after Thieves so sword weapons were in higher demand than daggers. Hence, Blacksmiths usually had a few sword blueprints on them.
“Sorry, I don’t need this…”
Wang Yu shook his head as Martial Artist’s Regret had the state of a Universe Sword so it could be used with one or two hands but sword weapons usually did not need it.
“Then what do you need? Let me see if I have it,” that player enthusiastically said.
“Hmm…” Wang Yu thought for a bit and said, “Something less mainstream…”
“Long spear? Mace?” Speaking of non-mainstream, these two Knight system weapons were the least popular. Usual Knight players followed the trend and used swords or shields, very few used long spears.
“I don’t need these too…” Wang Yu wiped his sweat. Long spears and mace could be replaced by changing a long pole’s state so he did not have to waste that slot.
Just then, Wang Yu suddenly realised that he did not need usual weapons. He needed something like a long-short sword but there was none in the game…
Just as Wang Yu was depressed, the players who gave his space to Wang Yu pointed at Simba and said, “I remember that old Blacksmith gave a player a tool which will allow him to design his own weapons.”
“… can design his own weapons…”
Hearing what the player said, Wang Yu’s eyes lit up then took out a bunch of crumpled goatskin and asked, “Is it this?”
“Yes, it’s this goatskin blueprint… So it is you, no wonder you look so familiar,” that Blacksmith said excitedly upon seeing the goatskin blueprint.
Hearing what those players said, Wang Yu recalled that when he first came to the Blacksmith store, he saw this little Blacksmith… Afterwards, he submitted his quest here and the little Blacksmith was also here. They did not know each other but acknowledged each other when they meant. However, Wang Yu had not come for a long time and both their equipment changed so he did not recall immediately.
“Yeah… what a coincidence. You are still here…” Wang Yu smiled.
The Blacksmith rubbed the back of his head and said, “I have never left.”
“… Never left?” Wang Yu heard him and paused for a while, “What’s your name? Let me add you as a friend.”
“Choba 345”
Wang Yu opened the search column and entered the ID in. Indeed, this little Blacksmith was only level 10.
Wang Yu was secretly shocked as when he first met this little Blacksmith, the game server had just opened a few days. It had been a few months and he never left not levelled up. What kind of determination was this?
“Damn, you are…!!!” Choba was shocked to see Wang Yu’s ID.
“It’s me… What level of Blacksmith are you?” Wang Yu asked Choba.
Choba said, “My Blacksmith skills have reached a high level for a long time but because my level is too low, I can’t complete the entry quest for Blacksmiths… so I am stuck here.”
“I see…” Wang Yu was surprised. From those players’ discussion, he understood that there were only four Blacksmiths which were trained by large guilds but Choba relied on himself and practised to this level. He was indeed talented.
At this thought, Wang Yu asked Choba, “Do you know how to design weapons?”
To be able to hang out at the Blacksmith store tirelessly, he had to really love this line of work or else, he would not be able to do so. Designing weapons was naturally a professional Blacksmith’s pursuit.
“Yup!” Choba nodded.
“Let’s strike a deal.” Wang Yu said, “Design two weapons for me and I will ask someone to complete the entry quest for you. How’s this?”
The equipment currently on the market were mainly from dungeons and Blacksmith’s potential had not been unleashed. Normal people did not have a sales channel like Mu Zixian. Their main source of money came from helping others strengthen their weapons or selling products to work studios. However, renting a store space and buying materials or blueprints were a big expenditure so they did not have much income and hence, not have enough money to do the entry quest.
Choba was probably dressed in a set of equipment he made himself. He was a Blacksmith without a guild and was still alive so he had to have the abilities. Hence, Wang Yu did not make this offer on the spur of the moment.
“Really? That’s great!” Choba was elated and said, “It is my greatest wish to design a weapon by myself.”
“F*ck…”
Seeing how Choba was happy over being able to make an original weapon and not over being able to level up to a high-level Blacksmith, Wang Yu was touched. This was the spirit a Blacksmith should have.
At this thought, Wang Yu stuffed the goatskin blueprint to Choba.
Choba took the blueprints and caressed it emotionally, then asked Wang Yu, “Great God Iron Bull, which type do you prefer?”
“Type…” Wang Yu rubbed his chin and said, “A set of long-short swords then.”
