Kirito, who recently completed the first stage of the mission in the towns surrounding Velutia, took the opportunity to buy a new, higher-grade black outfit based on the information provided by Yuuki, and then came here.
This city, which is the second-level main district, was built by hollowing out a three-hundred-meter radius in the mountains.
Due to the nature of the main monsters on this layer, equipment enhancement is more important than the player's technology and skills. Therefore, there are some equipment shops and stalls opened by players here, because groups with large guilds in servers in various countries will train their own senior staff.
Therefore, the competition has not yet reached the level of fierce competition. In addition, the second floor covers most of the high-risk and high-yield maze areas such as the Tower of Tianzhu, and connects to the vast server areas of various countries. Here are those with a base number of more than 10,000.
A favorite among rootless players.
The baby-faced girl Lisbeth is also one of them. Her NPC blacksmith master has not actually agreed to her starting a job, but due to other reasons, she has to open the shop herself.
On this day, she and a female NPC clerk named Heinemann, who was similar to her own age, completed all the preparatory work and then prepared to start blacksmithing.
What we need to create is an early piece of equipment suitable for use between levels 10 and 20. So far, many players do not have the courage to step out of the circle to fight. However, as they adapt to this world and the gap between rich and poor that exists even here, etc.
Factors, players who plan to go to fight will continue to appear, so there will be no shortage of market for such equipment.
"Hey! Lisbeth!"
The sudden shout made Lisbeth panic, her hands inevitably shook, and the hammer hit the iron ingot in a very bold and rough manner.
The rhythm is wrong from the beginning. The blacksmithing in SAO does not follow the laws of physics very much, but is very idealistic - although the rhythm, position and strength of the hammering will affect the quality of the product, the things presented will even be related to the things that are silently thought about during the forging.
, but all in all, if the above factors undergo unstable changes during forging, there will undoubtedly be a significant increase in the failure rate.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Lisbeth was considered an experienced person, so she just kept doing nothing, yelling, and kept pounding all the way with the same momentum.
A sword was quickly formed from the deformation of the iron ingot.
"Wow, I really made a sword that has early values but is not suitable for novices." Lisbeth confirmed the attributes of the weapon, muttered to herself, and then glared at the visitor, "Tong! Man!"
"Um...this sword is very good." Kirito also saw what happened just now and said hurriedly, "If this sword was placed in front of me when I first came to SAO for a month, I would definitely be willing to spend 10,000.
Cole, buy it and try it."
"This potential value can be strengthened ten times."
"Then this is definitely worth 20,000 kels!"
"How many people do you think can be as powerful as you? At least in my store so far, including the three members of your team, there are only four. They will definitely not be sold now. Can you buy them?" Lisbeth raised a question.
The steel flame-shaped sword with a blade like a wave shook.
"Um...can I pay with some of the dropped items and captured items that I'm going to deal with?" Kirito would sometimes try out new weapons and expand interesting skills when he had the opportunity.
The ownership of this store is not yet owned by Lisbeth, so subsequent disposals are the work of NPCs. Lisbeth does not need to find a new buyer and can get money, so she agreed.
"Is it also 'that' this time?" asked Lisbeth who sold the flame-shaped sword.
"Oh, yes, the same." Kirito took out the weapons given by Crounpiss and a large number of strengthening materials that were enough to increase the success rate to 100%, and placed them on the stage.
"Ah, I feel envious every time I see it. Even though the basic values are average, the potential value is directly linked to the owner's skill proficiency. As long as Kirito continues to become stronger, will this continue to strengthen?" Liz said.
While Heinemann was filling the furnace with strengthening materials, Bet picked up the unmarked black sword that she had strengthened not long ago and re-appraised it and said, "Can I shoot a sword of this level in the future?"
"Oh, come on."
It's not easy for Kirito to say something like, "This is a weapon given by the plot, so it shouldn't be able to be fired."
In fact, Lisbeth is a friend of a female tank player named Litern in the "Liberator of Aincrad" led by Kibaou. The one who can successfully become a tank also has a large amount of iron with Lisbeth.
The state of the ore is related to the full body armor that is refined all the way to forging.
It just so happened that Kirito had a demand, and players who had the ability to open a store must generally have better skills than NPCs of the same level, otherwise there would be no market for him, so they happened to have a good relationship, so they got to know each other after being introduced.
During the chat, Kirito also asked Lisbeth, who was taking the craftsman route, why she didn’t set up her base in an area protected by guilds and military players. As a result, Lisbeth said that when she was in a state of despair on the starting day, she saw a man wearing a robe.
The rapier wielder in a crimson cloak walked majestically toward the outside of the circle with firm steps, and met the monster's figure, which shocked her.
In the end, isn't that Asuna?
So, Kirito actually became a regular visitor here, but now he couldn't introduce Asuna, his idol, to meet him.
Heinemann is still burning strengthening materials, and the fire turns red and blue for a while, which symbolizes the strengthening of different parameters of the weapon.
"Lisbeth, you said there was a fourth person just now. Who is the master? Is he from his country? From abroad?" Kirito asked.
"Because of language and conflict issues, there are very few foreigners. The ones I met were native people, and they told me as soon as they came up - I met a person whose equipment was damaged, please give me the equipment for free! It's very impressive.
Profound guy, isn't he?"
"ha?"
"However, she brought all the materials herself and said that it was okay to use them all. She was not angry if I failed accidentally. She encouraged me to melt it and recast it. Even excluding the wasted parts, the remaining amount was more than the amount of money I needed to pay.
A lot, and the failed part can also improve my skill proficiency. Do you think this person is strange?"
"Oh, you mean helping a girl?" Kirito looked like he suddenly understood.
"Do you know Kirito?"
"Let's just know that there is this person. I heard that she is a lone traveler who will help players until they are in trouble and will not let others rely on her. She comes and goes like the wind. I can't do this. There are so many
As for energy, when will you improve your level? Are there multiple experience points bonus items?"
"I think she is really high-end, because I think her equipment is really high-end. She also uses a long knife with large and small serrations on the back as her main weapon."
After hearing this, Kirito raised his chin and thought like a professional player...
