Chapter 105: Rejuvenation Arrow

"Craftsman God System: The beginner's heart lies in the square inch, the inch lies in the craftsman's heart. Behind every great achievement, there is a group of people pursuing the ultimate. Polish a skill to the ultimate, and you can change the world."

【Recognize ten types of tools; Reward: Precision +1】

Sure enough.

When Lin Bai stood in the Blacksmith Shop and picked up the Hammer, the Craftsman God System was automatically activated.

"Shopkeeper Lin, if you have any orders, just tell this little one, and I will try my best to get it done." When Lin Bai visited, the Blacksmith Zhang was terrified and reached out to take the Hammer from Lin Bai's hand, "These rough tasks are not for refined people like you to do."

"This is a Hammer," Lin Bai said softly, dodging the hand that reached for the Hammer.

"Yes, a Hammer." Zhang Shutang was confused.

"Fire tongs," Lin Bai said.

"Yes," Zhang Shutang said.

"Bellows." Lin Bai pointed again at the Bellows that Zhang Dashan was puffing away at, leaving the half-grown boy stunned.

Seeing Lin Bai's strange behavior, 【Weapon Refinement Master】 immediately opened a live stream: "Organic milk, good quality, Mu Ming Milk reminds everyone to watch, Shopkeeper Lin is acting crazy again."

Lin Bai was the traffic code for Jiamu City.

Just after the advertisement went up, Lin Bai dove into the City Lord's Mansion and wouldn't come out. Advertisers had been complaining to the people of the Beggar Sect that the exposure wasn't enough, asking them to drag Lin Bai out to create some news, or if that didn't work, to head toward Qian City ahead of schedule.

But Lin Bai held absolute power in the Beggar Sect and was busy with Pill Refinement, so no one dared to provoke him. Angering Lin Bai was a small matter, but being expelled from the thriving Beggar Sect was not worth it.

Just as everyone was at their wit's end, who knew Lin Bai would suddenly run to the Blacksmith Shop and act crazy.

A pillow delivered just as one is feeling sleepy.

【Weapon Refinement Master】 was almost crazy with joy; advertising fees were collective income, but the money from the live stream belonged to him alone!

"Finally came out."

"Waited for it."

"The betting is open. What is Shopkeeper Lin going to play at this time? 1. Weapon Refinement; 2. Words Manifesting into Law; 3. Using craziness to attract traffic;"

"1", "2", "2", "2", "3"...

"None of the above are correct. Shopkeeper Lin is clearly practicing teaching a child to recognize objects. According to my guess, Shopkeeper Lin must have slipped up; either the City Lord is pregnant, or Jiang Qingqin is."

"Get lost, the one above. The City Lord is so ugly, how could she be worthy of Shopkeeper Lin? Jiang Qingqin is the Beggar Sect's designated matriarch."

"Is it true that players can fall in love and get married with NPCs?"

"True, it requires favorability. If the favorability is not high enough and you engage in illegal acts, you will be forced to log off. Moreover, you cannot start a live stream."

"Wow, I think I've found a new motivation to play the game."

"Don't dream. If you're short, ugly, and poor in reality, can you find a partner in the game?"

"A platonic relationship is acceptable too!"

"I'm short, ugly, and poor in reality, but I'm a killing machine in the game. Plus, you can customize your face; which player isn't a heaven-favored child?"

"Heh! Duplicate face customizations will be judged invalid. By the time it's your turn to go online, I'm afraid there won't be many good faces left. What's more, there are plenty of handsome faces in the Beggar Sect, yet Jiang Qingqin still only has eyes for Shopkeeper Lin."

"Agreed. Only someone like me, who possesses personal charm, has the qualifications to attract a fairy."

"Who has yellow urine? Go splash it on the guy above to wake him up."

"It's something else that such a game is allowed to go online, but I like it."

"Don't count on really enjoying yourself in the game. Everyone is using their in-game bodies. Even if you have intimate contact, there's no feeling of pleasure. In the end, it's just a platonic relationship; it's not that interesting."

"How does the guy above know?"

"Saw it on the forum. A guy called 【Love Expert】 farmed enough favorability and went for a home run, but there was no feeling at all, and he was completely entangled by the NPC. It was too late to regret it, and now he's already deleted his account to start over. He wasted more than ten days for nothing. I advise everyone to be cautious about love in the game."

"Right, I saw 【Love Expert】's post too. Falling in love in the game simply wiped out his advantage in the closed beta."

"Not only that, the comments under the post are full of abuse. Many people say he toyed with emotions and want to hunt him down in the game. His reputation is almost ruined."

"Pah! If it were me, I'd hunt him down too, scum."

"Off-topic. We are here to watch Shopkeeper Lin, not to listen to you discuss love and romance in the game."

"Damn, Shopkeeper Lin picked up the Hammer. He's not really going to do blacksmithing, is he?"

"Looks like it."

"Isn't he a Pill Refiner?"

"When Shopkeeper Lin recruited the Weapon Refinement Master, he said that once they joined the Beggar Sect, he would teach them the method of Weapon Refinement. So it turns out this method of Weapon Refinement is learning on the spot."

"And learning it right in front of the Weapon Refinement Master, pfft!"

"The Weapon Refinement Master's face has turned black."

"Getting fooled every day, and every day it's different. Shopkeeper Lin's actions are always unexpected, and he doesn't hide or cover them up."

"Weapon Refinement Master: Shopkeeper Lin, I want to learn Weapon Refinement; Shopkeeper Lin: Don't be in a hurry, wait for me to learn it first. Hahaha."

【Resentment from Weapon Refinement Master; +1+1+1】

The initial tasks of every system are relatively simple.

Having developed a new system, Lin Bai was excitedly doing the system tasks to enrich his Skill tree.

Who knew that resentment from 【Weapon Refinement Master】 would inexplicably come from the backend.

You have to know, when he first entered the door, this guy was providing Positive Emotion!

Where did he offend him again!

His emotions change so fast, even harder to fathom than Xu Longyun, how strange!

Having made too many empty promises, Lin Bai had long since thrown his original commitments to the back of his mind.

However, there were so many Beggar Sect Disciples that he couldn't attend to everyone. He didn't even pay attention to 【Weapon Refinement Master】's little mood, and turned his head to continue focusing on the Craftsman God System's tasks.

Two days and two nights.

Under the astonished gazes of the Blacksmith and his son, Lin Bai completed his transformation from a forging novice to a skilled worker.

The 【Weapon Refinement Master】 also went from initial resentment to later amazement; he was shocked to discover that Lin Bai's progress was actually faster than his own.

To the point that in the end, he couldn't even tell who was the player, him or Lin Bai?

As expected of a plot NPC, mastering Skills doesn't require a growth process...

"Simply perfect." The combined weapon Lin Bai finally crafted was a set of bow and arrows. He examined the bow and arrows he had made and couldn't help but praise them.

For over twenty years on Earth, he had never imagined that one day he would become a Blacksmith and personally craft a set of weapons.

"Indeed perfect." The 【Weapon Refinement Master】 stood by Lin Bai's side, also observing the bow and arrows Lin Bai had crafted. He looked puzzled at the circular groove on the arrowhead, "Shopkeeper Lin, I don't understand why you designed such a hole in the arrowhead. It's not a blood groove, nor is it a decoration. It feels like it has no meaning other than increasing the difficulty of forging."

"It has no meaning to you, that is." Lin Bai smiled at him, took a bottle of pills from his bosom, poured one out, and wedged it into the groove, saying proudly, "Don't forget, I am also a practitioner of Pill Refinement. If a teammate runs out of pills during battle and we are unable to get close, using this kind of bow and arrow can fully achieve long-range supply to the teammate."

"..." 【Weapon Refinement Master】

"..." The Blacksmith and his son.

The live broadcast bullet screen exploded instantly:

"Holy crap, Shopkeeper Lin's way of thinking is truly unique."

"I'm impressed."

"A truly~ violent-type healer."

"Painfully striking my teammates! A new profession—long-range combat healer."

"Either die in battle, or die at the hands of your own medic, ahahaha..."

"Delivering medicine with an arrow, is this losing health or restoring health?"

"Hahaha, thinking about it carefully, it's actually really damn practical!"

"There is nothing you can't think of that Shopkeeper Lin can't make."
