Compared to the slow pace of the NPCs, who buzzed like flies and scrambled like dogs for petty gains...
The players were always brimming with enthusiasm.
In no time, they had dug the alchemy furnaces, medicinal herbs, iron ingots, and other supplies out of the rubble and set them up inside the new alchemy workshop.
Lin Bai began grinding quests through the night.
The players had very high expectations for equipment. Who wouldn't want a full set of orange gear...
But after tentatively making their requests to Lin Bai, only to be turned down by Shopkeeper Lin for lack of rare materials, they settled for ordinary weapons instead.
Shopkeeper Lin was right. Making a super Magic Treasure out of ordinary iron? Dream on!
Besides, Shopkeeper Lin was their big boss, and he had just sealed a Golden Core True Person. With his prestige soaring, who would dare give him firm orders?
And so...
The players narrowed their requests down to two things: cleavers and bows. Whatever Shopkeeper Lin used, they would use too.
They wanted consistency, so that when Lin Bai taught them his techniques in the future, they wouldn't be stuck with unsuitable weapons.
Lin Bai had originally planned to casually hammer out a few weapons, fob the players off, and finish the system quest.
But with his head stuffed full of knowledge about aesthetics, ergonomics, materials science, and the like by the system, the weapons he made naturally emerged in exquisitely beautiful forms and felt extremely comfortable to hold. He received satisfied responses without even having to threaten the players.
That was an unexpected bonus.
And so...
Lin Bai easily obtained the Blacksmith's Hammer.
