Kele felt confused when he heard what Shi Feng said.
Show the strength of Zero Wing Workshop?
The three of them were always being watched, so they stayed at Red Leaf Town and did not go out to upgrade and kill monsters to do tasks. Their level was still level 7, which was just a little better than ordinary players. There was no way they could compare with members of other guilds. If things continued like this, their levels might not even be as good as ordinary players.
"Do you want us to go to the wild to upgrade?" Kele thought of this possibility and became slightly excited, "That's great. I'm almost exhausted from staying in the small town. It would be good to go out and kill."
"The three of you are waiting for me at the Trade District hotel in the town. I'll be there soon." Shi Feng didn't explain, but just smiled.
"Brother Feng, what happened to make you so happy?" Heizi asked curiously after seeing Shi Feng's happy smile.
"Good thing, you just upgrade here first. I will ask Kele and the others to come here later. You can take them to quickly upgrade to level 10 and then go to White River City to do advanced tasks." Shi Feng said.
"Brother Feng, don't worry. I am currently wearing level 15 black iron, Bronze Equipment, and Mebis's Guard. It will be too easy for them to upgrade with Kele." Heizi was very confident that he had an epic staff and reached level 13. If he couldn't bring Kele and the others to level 10 quickly, then he could play in the mud.
"Kele They will be surprised when they see our level, especially Heizi your epic staff Mebis's Guard. They will be shocked and speechless. I almost want to see their shocked faces." Lonely As Snow joked.
"Yes, Kele and the others must have never imagined that in just a few hours, we went from being hunted by the Martial Arts Alliance to hiding in the east, to now reaching level 13, taking over the entire Star-Moon Kingdom The top three, as well as epic weapons, are completely different from before. If it were me, I wouldn't believe it." Heizi felt even happier when he thought of the shocked expressions of Kele and others.
"You guys..." Shi Feng smiled, took out Return Scroll, and teleported it back to Red Leaf Town.
Red Leaf Town A lot of changes have also taken place at this time. There are more and more players buying equipment and items on the Trade Street. There is a constant stream of hawking. Many new players with money are looking for the equipment and items they need at the stalls on the street.
And in a hotel at Trade District.
"How many Sturdy Stone have you collected? Why haven't you made half of Whetstone yet?" Fengyun Wuhui's face darkened, he stood up suddenly, looked at his subordinates who came to report, and asked seriously.
"Boss Fengyun, after you gave the order, we went crazy to buy Sturdy Stone. But for some reason, there were very few Sturdy Stone on the market, and the price was high. It's not cheap either. We worked hard and have only collected more than four groups so far. However, the guild has just started training blacksmiths, and their success rate in making Whetstone is very low, so..." the subordinate said timidly.
Bang!
Fengyun Wuhui punched the wooden table and said angrily, "You bunch of trash, I told you tomorrow. It's been three or four hours now, and you haven't even made a piece of Whetstone. How can the elite group upgrade? What use do I need from you?"
"Boss Fengyun, did other guilds also discover the secret of weapons wearing out quickly, so we couldn't receive a few sets of Sturdy Stone?" Berserker Five Elements Mouse said.
"It's very possible. After all, we are not the only ones upgrading in the high-level monster area, but Sturdy Stone is not a rare material. It is dropped in the level 2 monster area, and no one usually uses it. By now, Red Leaf Town should have accumulated a lot of Sturdy Stone, Auction House should be sold by many people, there should be many, many, many, many. The speed of our discovery is not too slow. Even if other guilds take action, it is impossible to eat them all in one go!" Fengyun Wuhui nodded, shook his head again, and still couldn't figure it out.
After they chased the Shi Feng team, they suddenly discovered that the durability of the weapons was decreasing extremely quickly. They didn't pay attention at first, and they searched for the Shi Feng team and upgraded it at the same time. However, in the end, Shi Feng was not found, and the weapons and equipment were almost scrapped, so they gave up the search for Shi Feng and chose to come back to rest and renovate the equipment.
Although traveling back and forth is a waste of time, the equipment of the members of the elite group is very good. If the equipment is not repaired, it will be scrapped by then. The guild will not be able to bear the loss. Moreover, without equipment, there is no way to kill monsters and upgrade, so it must come back to repair.
After repairing the equipment, Fengyun Wuhui heard many people below starting to complain, saying that the repair fee was too expensive and almost all their money was spent. As for professions wearing plate armor, they had to borrow money from everywhere to repair equipment.
This shocked Fengyun Wuhui.
These people are all elites of the elite group. They usually have a lot of money. They are definitely rich. They don't even have enough to repair equipment.
Then Fengyun Wuhui discovered the problem. The less durability the equipment has left and the higher the equipment, the more expensive it is to repair. Moreover, the outdoor high-level area consumes equipment durability. Running back and forth to the high-level area will waste at least two or three hours. When upgrading in the advanced area, you have to come back to repair the equipment in up to three or four hours, which means half of the time is wasted on the road.
The result is that the upgrade time is at least nearly doubled.
If you can save the time of running around, the upgrade speed will be faster than others.
Fengyun Wuhui thought of this key point, so he tried his best to collect information and found a solution, which is Whetstone. Although this thing can only restore the durability of the weapon, it is enough, because compared with armor, it is mainly the consumption of weapons, and Whetstone can be used to repair weapons. It was much cheaper than repairing it at Blacksmith Workshop, so he immediately ordered people to buy Whetstone. It turned out that Whetstone was not made by blacksmiths at all because the cost was too high, and Whetstone could not be sold.
So Fengyun Wuhui can only do the next best thing and collect Sturdy Stone, the production material of Whetstone. This thing itself is not expensive, and its main use is to make Whetstone and some engineering parts. One set only costs more than thirty coppers, and one set is 20 pieces, which means that 20 pieces of Whetstone can be made.
Now Fengyun Wuhui is even more shocked. Whetstone is unavailable, but Sturdy Stone is so hard to buy.
In fact, not only Martial Arts Alliance discovered this problem, but other large guilds also discovered this problem. After they went to collect Sturdy Stone, they suddenly discovered that whether it was street stalls in small towns or fearful sellers, there were only sporadic Sturdy Stone left, which was not enough for their guild blacksmiths to make.
On the other side, Shi Feng was walking on the trade street and saw that all the major guilds were charging Sturdy Stone at high prices. One group cost 80 copper coins to purchase, and the price quadrupled. He couldn't help but feel happy.
He had waited for so long and it finally came to fruition.
But this is just the beginning, and he will add fuel to the fire to make the price rise even higher.
