Chapter 166: Forging, Growth

“This mechanical creation is so strong!” The Auction House’s manager and appraiser looked at the mechanical beast that Ye Feng controlled in battle as they sighed to themselves in amazement.

This was the first time they were seeing such a thing. Although many Blacksmiths would research mechanical creations, these mechanical beasts that could move on their own and fight had not been created before.

Most importantly, these mechanical beasts were not weak, the key here was whether they could be mass produced.

“Forget about the forging method, you know that I won’t give it to you.” Ye Feng understood what they were thinking and immediately said: “This was not invented by me in the first place, I cannot give the blueprint to anyone.”

At higher levels, very few people would be willing to sell their unique blueprints.

Unless they really lacked funds urgently, nobody would do that.

“Uh, Sir Ye Feng, have you sold mechanical beasts anywhere else?” Although the manager’s thoughts were seen through, he still reacted quickly and changed the question.

He knew that it was impossible to get the blueprint, but this was not a certainty, who knows what would happen in the future?

Since Ye Feng said this now, he would not be foolish enough to pester him.

“Mm… I haven’t.” Ye Feng answered: “This is the first time I’ve thought of selling them.”

If he was not broke now, he would not sell the mechanical beasts. They were still quite useful to him after all.

Initially, he had not expected the Auction House to have so many stage six materials, he ended up not having the ability to buy them all.

“That’s great.” The manager said excitedly: “We will immediately advertise the auction item, your mechanical beasts will definitely be sold for a good price.”

This was something that had never appeared in the Capital City. So be it if it was a novelty item, but the mechanical beast had actual combat strength of its own.

As long as it was well promoted now, these mechanical beasts that were sold would definitely make them huge profits.

“I have a total of five mechanical beasts, how about I sell three of them to you guys directly?” Ye Feng smiled as he took out three mechanical beasts.

There was no helping it, he had to buy materials. Right now, he needed money urgently, but an auction would take too long.

“No problem!” The manager was overjoyed: “Go ahead and choose the materials you want, we can directly deduct the cost from the sale of the mechanical beasts.”

“Okay.” Ye Feng nodded, this was the best solution now that he had insufficient funds.

…

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage six inferior-grade weapon, Water-Fire Twin Swords, you have obtained 8000 fire elemental points, and 8000 water elemental points.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage six inferior-grade weapon, Spectral Spike, you have obtained 10000 water elemental points, and 3000 lightning elemental points.”

After selling the mechanical beasts and using the funds that he already had, Ye Feng managed to buy many stage six materials, most of which he thought were useful.

Undoubtedly, the ability to read their information was very useful. Although the ability was useless in battle, it was perfect for buying things. Be it appraising items to find out fake products or picking hidden treasures, he could benefit greatly.

These few days, he forged several stage six equipment in the forging room of the Blacksmith Guild, his strength rose greatly as a result.

As long as he sold these equipment, he would recoup the amount he spent.

[Water-Fire Twin Swords]

Grade: Stage Six Inferior-grade

Special Trait: Two short-swords containing the elemental power of water and fire respectively. Both swords are imbued with magic that can be released by injecting energy, it can also automatically replenish energy over time.

Ye Feng kept the stage six weapons that he created and left the forging room.

He had already forged for a long time but he understood the logic of not overworking himself. Long term exhaustion could not help to improve his forging skills, in fact, his success rate would fall instead.

That would not be beneficial.

Ye Feng rubbed his eyes as he started to walk around the Blacksmith Guild, everyone who saw him would bow slightly in response.

Although not everyone knew who Ye Feng was, some would ask the ones around them when they saw him walking by.

After these days of staying in the Blacksmith Guild, other than those who did not frequent the guild, most people knew that Ye Feng was the new stage six Blacksmith that joined recently.

“Brother Ye Feng, do you know? Your mechanical beasts have gotten famous in the Capital City!”

At this moment, Ye Feng met an acquaintance.

After Gabriel saw Ye Feng, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed, he rushed up to Ye Feng and said: “Don’t forget about me!”

He seemed to have come for Ye Feng.

“Tell me what is going on first.” Ye Feng was helplessly as he brought Gabriel to a place for talking: “I’ve been forging the entire time, I’m not sure what happened outside.”

“You don’t know this, but once your mechanical beasts were auctioned, the entire Capital City went into a commotion!” Gabriel said in excitement:” These are Bronze Knight level mechanical beasts! They will never betray the owner! Those clans are going crazy over them.”

Once he learned that the mechanical beasts came from Ye Feng, he became incomparably thrilled!

“How do you know that I am the one auctioning them?” Ye Feng felt a little suspicious but not fearful, he was a stage six Blacksmith backed by the entire Blacksmith Guild, those clans could not do anything to him openly.

“I am a businessman, I have my information sources.” Gabriel smiled as he reminded: “Many clans also know about you now, you have to be careful.”

“Don’t worry.” Ye Feng nodded, he smiled upon seeing Gabriel’s expectant gaze: “Don’t worry, I’ll let you have a few.”

“Thanks brother.” Gabriel was overjoyed: “Don’t worry, you won’t earn any less compared to auctioning, it will also be sold quickly!”

“Mm.” Ye Feng nodded, he still had a few high level mechanical beasts with him, they could earn him some income.

After passing the mechanical beasts to Gabriel, Ye Feng returned to the forging room.

“What do I forge now…” Ye Feng looked at his materials and felt a little dazed.

Most of the special materials had been used already. The remaining ones were metallic materials left behind, although they were stage six, the quantity was too little, they could not grant the weapon any attributes.

“Metallic material… metallic material…” Ye Feng muttered to himself and suddenly recalled his conversation with Gabriel.

“Should I attempt to make a stage six mechanical beast?”

Ye Feng looked at the materials again, they were enough to create one mechanical beast.

Soon, he made a decision.

“There is no point in keeping these materials, I should give it a try!”
