Chapter 1265

There were rumors that when Lin Cheng was being certified at the Zaoshigong Society, he forged a divine weapon, and at that time the divine radiance inside the forging room was so dazzling it could practically blind a person's eyes.

Other rumors claimed that Lin Cheng was the reincarnation of a legendary divine smith; otherwise, how could someone of his apparent young age become the Empire's fourth Tier-8 Forgemaster?

Still other rumors claimed that Master Lin Cheng was actually an absolute powerhouse who had reversed his aging—for a true powerhouse, maintaining a youthful appearance was no difficult feat. And the Flying Fox Restaurant, which was connected to Lin Cheng, was likewise swept up in no small amount of rumor.

Some said the proprietress of the Flying Fox Restaurant was a relative of Master Lin Cheng; otherwise, why would Master Lin Cheng spare no effort in helping the Flying Fox Restaurant?

Others said Master Lin Cheng had taken a fancy to the restaurant proprietress, or that the proprietress had seduced Master Lin Cheng, which allowed the Flying Fox Restaurant to be reborn. Rumors of this sort and similar ones abounded.

However, the above rumors were limited to the mouths of some uninformed melon-eating spectators among the common folk; anyone with a shred of sense knew these were impossible.

As for those who saw the Flying Fox Restaurant rising and harbored ill intentions!

After the unclear and inexplicable relationship between Lin and the restaurant, they decisively gave up on all their various plans against the Flying Fox Restaurant.

But today, news about Lin Cheng once again made the front page of the Boulder Fortress City headlines, spreading widely among the people. In just the span of a single dinner, it nearly spread throughout the entire Boulder Fortress City.

And that was… Master Lin Cheng said that inscriptions could likewise be applied to strengthen humans themselves, and that tomorrow, Master Lin Cheng's shop would open for business, at which time he would publicly demonstrate how to inscribe patterns onto the human body.

The announced location for the shop's opening was in the rooms the Flying Fox Restaurant was renting out to outsiders, and the crowd immediately understood.

No wonder Master Lin Cheng had that unclear, inexplicable relationship with the Flying Fox Restaurant. So it turned out Master Lin Cheng's shop was opening right inside the rooms the Flying Fox Restaurant was renting out to outsiders.

I'm just a shopkeeper—thinking about it now, the renovations should already be finished.

People with nothing to do were all thinking about going tomorrow to witness how Master Lin Cheng would inscribe patterns onto the human body. If the strengthening effect was truly astonishing, then they absolutely had to have Master Lin Cheng inscribe and strengthen them as well.

However, tomorrow there would be a massive traffic jam, and only a small number of people would be able to observe.

When Lin Cheng returned to the Flying Fox Restaurant, it was still early. He could not wait and immediately headed to the shop he had entrusted the guild's construction team to renovate. The ten rooms had all been opened up as one; the original load-bearing walls seemed to have been reinforced through a transfer method, leaving the interior spacious and empty, but in Lin Cheng's eyes this was nothing remarkable.

He only needed to wait for the system to move in, and then the final renovation work could be completed.

According to his earlier plan, of the ten rooms, one would serve as a temporary warehouse, one as a forging room and neither would be shown to the public, and the remaining eight would all be connected together, with various display counters, sales counters, exchange counters, and so on placed on both sides.

Judging from the items Lin Cheng could currently forge, inscription work needed to occupy one counter, and the sales of various system Tier-1 and Tier-2 weapons and equipment also needed to occupy one counter.

Because of the system's sudden transformation, Lin Cheng could directly forge exclusive weapons bearing Hero Inheritance, which replaced the function of the original lottery machine.

Therefore, he also decided to first forge various weapons bearing Hero Inheritance and display them directly in the shop. Those who were fated could naturally take them away, while those without such fortune could at least take the chance to join in the excitement.

These exclusive weapons bearing Hero Inheritance could also perfectly serve as the shop's treasured showpieces.

Two birds with one stone, very nice.

Having planned out each area in his mind, he called for the system to move in.

"System, just set things up according to what I've laid out in my head."

"Setting up… setup complete."

Walking in from the entrance, the first thing seen was the dedicated counter for selling system Tier-1 and Tier-2 weapons and equipment. An equipment list came into view, with all kinds of detailed descriptions.

The benefit of raising system authority was that, aside from Tier-2 equipment which required Lin Cheng to personally forge, all other Tier-1 equipment could be rapidly produced and supplied by the system.

Opposite that was the counter for recycling magical beast materials. Lin Cheng planned not only to provide system spirit coins but also imperial gold coins, letting customers who chose to recycle pick for themselves—a more thoughtful service.

Further inside were two display platforms levitated by inscription arrays, floating with a full 360-degree view, positioned in the middle of the walkway, one on each side, so customers could observe them while walking around and continuing further in.

Lin Cheng planned to place mechanical mounts and mechanical servants on these two display platforms, and on the subsequent platforms he would display the two advanced versions of mechanical servants: the artillery cart and the super soldier.

Although they would not be sold, placing them on the levitating display platforms made them the best exhibits.

After that came the dedicated inscription counter, as well as the personal customization counter for weapons and equipment.

With Lin Cheng's reputation as a Tier-8 Forgemaster, there would certainly be people who wanted him to inscribe and strengthen themselves, or to customize exclusive weapons. As for the price, of course it had to be a bit more expensive—otherwise it would not be worthy of the name of a Tier-1 Forgemaster.

Then came two more levitating display platforms, displaying the artillery cart and the super soldier as exhibits. Dead.
