"Of course, I've already set this up as a Superior Forging Room. The success rate for forging any item in here is higher than in an Advanced Forging Room — especially when it comes to crafting complex, high-quality items. It's simply not something an Advanced Forging Room can compare to."
Hearing Shi Feng's explanation, Melancholic Smile and the others were so excited they couldn't even speak.
The surprise was simply too great.
Players who had never crafted high-quality items had no idea how difficult it was to make something of superior quality. The success rate was already low to begin with, and the slightest error during the process could ruin everything — it was an incredibly delicate task.
Practicing for a long time naturally helped immensely, but the materials for high-quality items were precious and rare, so there was virtually no opportunity to practice and get familiar with them. Craftsmen could only rely on their accumulated experience from making items over and over before eventually becoming proficient enough to reduce material waste.
Now, with a simulation device like this, they could practice as much as they wanted, constantly refining and improving their techniques. The benefit this provided was enormous.
Furthermore, in the Divine Realm, once a player advanced to the Blacksmith class, advancing further to Master Blacksmith required them to create original items — otherwise there was no way to reach the Master rank. So players would typically start accumulating experience in item creation from the Blacksmith stage, and once they reached Advanced Blacksmith, their goal would be to continuously create new items.
But with this simulation device, who knew how much time and accumulated experience it could save.
Of course, it didn't come without cost. Using the simulation device consumed energy, which had to be provided by Magic Crystals. Magic Crystals were relatively easy to obtain since players had a chance to get them from running dungeons, so it wasn't really a significant expense.
"Guild Master, you're incredible!" Shuang Keke walked into the room, her heart overflowing with joy.
Melancholic Smile and Blazing Iron Heart were not as straightforward as Shuang Keke, nor did they so easily reveal what was on their minds. However, once the two of them entered the room, they couldn't resist studying the magic water sphere, unable to put down any of the tools inside — they adored every single one of them. Compared to this, even the most luxurious car would seem utterly pathetic.
The value of this Superior Forging Room alone far surpassed those luxury cars several times over. And no amount of money could buy one.
In the Blacksmith's Association, the highest tier of forging room available for rent was the Advanced Forging Room. A Superior Forging Room simply couldn't be rented — you could only access one after upgrading your shop to the two-star level.
This was precisely why so many shops wanted to advance to two-star status.
The room was filled with a subtle fragrance that soothed the mind and brought an indescribable sense of calm. On top of that, the adjustable environment provided a significant boost to one's mental state. Forging items in here was practically an enjoyable experience, let alone the fact that the flames and tools here were beyond anything an Advanced Forging Room could offer.
Although the flames here hadn't quite reached the level of a second-tier Strange Fire, they were very close. And Shi Feng had already replaced them with the Ice Blue Demonic Flame, which could further boost the forging success rate — making it utterly incomparable to any ordinary Advanced Forging Room.
"Superior Studios are extremely limited. Our two-star shop only has five of these rooms. Three of them are reserved for you, and I've already granted you access. Only you can enter your respective Superior Studios. The other two are an Alchemy Room and another Forging Room. Melancholic, if you discover anyone with talent in alchemy or forging, you can let them use them — but they'll have to sign a contract first. These Superior Studios are no joke. What they enhance is a player's skill, not just a design blueprint." Shi Feng said earnestly.
"Guild Master, rest assured. I will never let any ungrateful people use the Superior Studios," Melancholic Smile promised.
In the Divine Realm, design blueprints were easy enough to come by, but training a life-skills player with truly exceptional craftsmanship was incredibly difficult.
And the Superior Studio was exactly what served this purpose — naturally, it couldn't be used to nurture traitors.
After that, Shi Feng handed over the affairs of the Candlelight Trading Company to Melancholic Smile and logged out.
By now, it was already daytime in the real world, with the blazing sun high in the sky.
