The players were used to Lin Bai's bizarre behavior, but they still cooperated with him to complete his tasks.
After all.
Lin Bai was their biggest patron, and money was the last thing the Beggar Gang disciples lacked. Spending three hundred copper coins to please Shopkeeper Lin and getting a weapon with his exclusive inscription in return was quite a bargain.

[Sell one hundred weapons bearing your mark and win unanimous praise from your customers; reward: Weapon Inscription Formation Basics]
Once he had completed his artifact refining set, the craft god system offered a more practical reward.
