World's Sixth [Crafter]

[Lord of the Five Grains Cycle], [Team Wipe Engine], [Marionette].

In a sense, [Big Bird Spinning Bar] can indeed be described as a place teeming with talent, Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick are present.

Given that no Elite Level Title has ever exceeded double digits, the fact that a guild of only five members has gathered three Player with Elite Level Title demonstrates the immense potential of this Player Guild.

However, if we were to delve deeper... Bai Zhi felt that the girl in front of him seemed to have been quite badly fooled by [Fireworks of Romance].

Hmm... It certainly Overflowing with Dignity, but that authority is as fragile as the authority of a certain Vampire heiress—it's all made of paper.

"No, I have my own guild now."

Under the expectant gaze of the Young Girl in front of him, Bai Zhi became even more determined to refuse to enter the [Big Bird Spinning Bar].

Although we don't know who the remaining two Player are in that [Big Bird Spinning Bar] with only five people, they must be Divine to Zhuge Liang and Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick...

"You can leave a guild and join again. Don't you want to join a guild with greater potential?"

Even after being explicitly rejected, Withered Heart still showed no intention of giving up.

"If you join now, there are even membership benefits! Aren't you tempted?"

"No... I mean, do you really need to be this competent Vice Guild Master?"

Looking at the Young Girl in front of him, Bai Zhi inexplicably felt a toothache.

"Or do you get a reward for every person you recruit into the guild?"

"Yeah, the Guild Master said that for every Player I bring into the guild, she'll give me 500 Game Coins as a reward. If I bring in a lot of people, I can expand further... Wait, how did you know that!?"

"You've turned a perfectly good pyramid scheme guild into something that looks like Player Guild... just guessing."

Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi began to speak while mentally estimating the remaining time it would take for that flashy "Prince Charming" to arrive in the city.

"Alright, all those things are just minor details. Let's get back to what we were talking about at the beginning. I'd like to make a deal with you, is that alright?"

"A deal... would you like to buy something from me?"

After a slight pause, Withered Heart's eyes immediately lit up.

"How did you know I also sell various Equipment and items on the side? Did the Guild Master tell you? How about this, for the Guild Master's sake, I can give you a 5% discount! If you're willing to leave the guild and join [Big Bird Spinning Bar], I can give you a 10% discount!!"

"What? You don't know anything... wait, you can craft Equipment and items?"

As if suddenly remembering something, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That's right, I put in a lot of effort to get the certificate. According to the information I received from the system when I got the certificate, I was the sixth Player in our world to get the certificate, making me the sixth [Crafter] in the world."

Head held high, chest Withered Heart on his face as he sat with his books.

"Even though my reputation isn't great right now, and I'm nowhere near as famous as that Calamity Reimu, one day I'll surpass her... How about you check me out first?"

"Certificates... What kind of things do you have here? Do you have any Elite Level or Perfect -Level Equipment or items?"

Bai Zhi suddenly became interested.

"Uh... crafting Equipment and items is very expensive, and even Level Perfect or Elite Level are quite good..."

With a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, Withered Heart took out a palm-sized wooden doll from her shoulder bag and then displayed the doll's information.

"This is my proudest product so far, but it's not ready for mass production yet. I went into a huge debt just to develop this thing... How about you give me a price?"

"No... why did you leave your QQ number instead of your phone number?"

After reading the full description of the Elite Level item in front of him, Bai Zhi looked up at the Young Girl in front of him, his expression becoming slightly subtle.

Although this [Substitution Doll] is only Single-use item, it can truly be a life-saving tool in critical moments.

After all, no one can ever have too many life-saving Item.

While it's a bit unethical to try and poach someone from [Fireworks of Romance]... how can I possibly recruit them into my own guild?

"Do you think I'm stupid? I'm not like Calamity Reimu, who has the backing of Large Organization like [the Relevant Department]. What if I leave my phone number and some malicious group comes to my door and kidnaps me?"

With a slight pout, Withered Heart put the [Substitution Doll] back into her bag.

"Although the situation in China is much better than abroad, and not as chaotic, there are always evil organizations like the [New Humans] that exist. I need to learn how to protect myself... So, do you want to buy it?"

"Let's put that aside for now, anyway, you're not worried about selling your stuff... By the way, are you interested in pulling off a big heist?"

Reaching out and touching his chin, Bai Zhi gave a strange smile and asked Withered Heart a question.

"Although there are some risks involved in this process, if you succeed in the end, you will at least get a Perfect -Level Item, so it's a sure win."

"Perfect Level... what do I need to do?"

Upon hearing this, Withered Heart's eyes immediately lit up.

"Is there any chance to obtain Perfect Grade Item in this Dungeon? You know, so far, not a single Perfect Grade Item has circulated in the Player market."

"I'll take you there; you'll understand when we get there."

Bai Zhi looked up at the Tian Kong and snapped his fingers.

"By the way, don't have any thoughts of resistance right now. I'll teleport you there now."

"Don't resist... Wait, you're not trying to hypnotize me, are you!?"

The Young Girl reached for the handbag and held it in front of her, her face full of vigilance.

"Although the Guild Master speaks highly of you, how are you going to make sure you're not actually trying to brainwash or hypnotize me by telling a Girl you've just met not to have any resistance in your heart?"

"... There are such props?"

"Yes! It's already appeared in Northern Europe, and it was even created by Player themselves!!"

Withered Heart looked wary.

"Put yourself in my shoes. You've only been in this Dungeon for a short time, and someone jumps out and talks to you about it at Dungeon, then at the end invites you to a big business deal where you can get Perfect- Level Item... That's clearly classic scammer tactics, right?! Even if the Guild Master vouches for you, expecting me to be completely unsuspecting... that's just too dangerous!!"

"... Actually, I'm really a good person."

"Bad people all say that about themselves!!"

"Look how handsome I am, why would I lie to you?"

"So what if you're handsome? Can being handsome put food on the table?!"

"Hmm... shall I transfer 1000 Game Coins to you now as collateral?"

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi asked a question tentatively.

"If there is..."

"Okay, I'm ready. You can start now. But wait, I need to transfer the money first."

Without hesitation, she interrupted him, put down her handbag, Withered Heart unthinking.

Bai Zhi: "..."
