Chapter 339: Leaving the Game

With a thought, the black flames burning on the surface of Song Jian’s body suddenly disappeared. Then, lifting his right hand, a flicker of black flame appeared in his palm.

Clenching his hand into a fist, the flame vanished, and with a “boom,” black flames surged once again on Song Jian’s body surface.

“Hahaha, that’s amazing, absolutely formidable!” With a single thought, the black flames disappeared again, but joy spread across Song Jian’s face. ‘ “Perhaps I should learn the art of forging?” A sudden thought popped into Song Jian’s mind. He knew that the Third-tier Demon Flame exuded ’a significant enhancement,’ which was like a divine tool for forging.

With a blacksmith in possession and the Strange Fire, all Song Jian needed now were a Forging Skill Book and forging blueprints to start practicing Forge Art With the help of the Strange Fire, his forging skills would undoubtedly improve much faster than other players.

Skill books and blueprints related to life professions were much sought after in auction houses. Generally, very few people would sell them, as most preferred to learn from it themselves. Even if they were sold, the prices would be extremely high.

Song Jian remembered that the cost of a Forge Art Skill Book in the Doomsday Supermarket was only three hundred Doomsday Coins. However, the price of a Forge Art Skill Book had been inflated to over three thousand Doomsday Coins by the players.

‘TH go back and make some Self-destructing Robots first. I’ll learn forging if I get another chance.” Song Jian hesitated before opening the Smithy’s settings options. After making some adjustments, he started to head towards his Manor Castle.

This smithy now belonged to Song Jian as part of his territory. To occupy this smithy, one had to completely defeat Song Jian in a territory dispute.

The primary purpose of the smithy was not to sell equipment but to create it. This one, built by the Dwarf Commander, had the immense benefit of improving the forging success rate by 5% compared to the smithy built by Song Jian in his territory.

The Novice Smithy had five forging rooms. Players could make equipment by spending a certain amount of Doomsday Coins to enter these rooms. After Song Jian set the prices, he simply left the smithy to operate. Any player could enter the rooms to make equipment by paying the fee. After manufacturing equipment and gaining forging experience, a certain percentage would be reimbursed back to the smithy. Once the Smithy accumulates one hundred thousand forging experience points, it could be upgraded to an Intermediate Smithy.

Watching Song Jian leave, the spectators around seemed to heave sighs of relief.

“I thought he was going to kill everyone who accepted the pursuit mission, scared me pretty good. ” A player clutched his chest and spoke.

“Lucky us! His skill that turned him into a black shadow; he was so fast. If he’d pursued us, we’d never escape. I already said there was something fishy about this mission but you wouldn’t believe me. Scared now, eh?” His companion on the side complained.

“Who knew he was so powerful? Besides, didn’t you accept the mission in the end too? It’s worth two thousand Doomsday Coins!”

“Holy grass! He’s increased the forging fee by so much! It used to be just 5 Doomsday Coins an hour, but now it costs 20! He’s totally ripping us off!” A player who had learned Forge Art exclaimed in anger.

“Let me see. Hey, it’s true! We give him forging experience when we forge here and help him upgrade the Smithy. This is a win-win situation. He’s just shamelessly increased the forging fee by so much; he’s more cunning than that Dwarf!”

A slew of complaints followed from the players, but in the end, they had to unwillingly pay. After all, even a 1% increase in forging success rate was invaluable, not to mention a 5% increase. If they could forge an extra piece of equipment, they’d make back the forging fee in no time.

Song Jian wasn’t concerned about how the players complained about him. He didn’t have the energy or time to manage the Smithy. He had already hired a Forging Master to manage the smithy in his territory. He would only send someone to manage this smithy after a disciple was fully trained there.

Arriving back at the Manor Castle, Song Jian started making self-destructing robots. Soon, he was taking out the parts one by one, but there was a pleasant surprise when he started to make the explosives.

System: The “Standard Explosive” you made has advanced to “High Explosive- due to the influence of the Third-tier Demon Flame, “Abyssal Flame.” Engineering experience increased by 2 points.

Due to the existence of the Third-tier Demon Flame, Song Jian didn’t fail once when making explosives. Even the Standard Explosives had advanced to High Explosives. If these were used to assemble the Self-destructing Robots, their power would certainly be greatly multiplied.

Indeed, after assembling the first Self-destructing Robot, Song Jian received a system prompt.

System: You have modified the parts of the “Self-destructing Robot” and created a new item. Please name the new item!

“A new item? Isn’t it still a Self-destructing Robot? It’s just that the explosive power has been slightly increased. Does it need a new name?” Song Jian hesitated but quickly typed “Self-destructing Robot Type 2” into the semi-transparent screen in front of him.

After renaming the robot, a flash of white light briefly appeared under the Engineering Skill in his skill list. Now, he could make two types of robots: Self-destructing Robot and Self-destructing Robot Type 2. With the enhancement of the Third-tier Demon Flame, he no longer needed to manufacture the first type of robot.

The newly-created Self-destructing Robot not only had a power increase to five hundred points, but it also possessed corrosive damage that could reduce the target’s defense by 10% for 30 seconds. If ten Self-destructing Robots simultaneously targeted an enemy, the enemy’s defense would be reduced by 100%. Even a level twenty boss with an extremely high defense would be instantly killed if attacked simultaneously by ten Self-destructing Robots.

The mere thought of it made Song Jian shiver.

After spending an afternoon, Song Jian had manufactured more than thirty Self-destructing Robots without a single failure. His engineering experience increased significantly, with not much experience left needed to reach level four.

Just as he was about to continue, Song Jian received a system prompt.

System: There are ten minutes left in your game session. Please place your items in a safe place to avoid loss. It is recommended that the player’s character returned to the safe house. Any accidents that occur will be the player’s responsibility.

The system joyously sent out three consecutive notifications. It was only then that Song Jian realized that thirty days had unknowingly passed in the game. After packing away all of the Self-destructing Robot Type-2s and taking a last look at the Blood Pool, which was still evolving, Song Jian silently waited for the end of the game time.

Soon, a flash of white light filled the room, and then it was empty. Song Jian had disappeared.
