Chapter 231 The Legendary Genius
Tonny and his team had been in the Ordeal of the Divine for several days. If this continued, who knew how long it would take for Eric to get to the Demonic Citadel and obtain the demons' heart.
That was why Eric needed to check on their progress. If necessary, he would have to ask Isabella for help.
However, he didn't want Isabella to know too much.
"Oh, right, I was so excited that I forgot to tell you," Tonny said, slapping his forehead. "Eric, where did you find that expert girl? She's incredibly strong. The trials that were originally very dangerous and almost made us feel hopeless were all easily resolved because of her. We're now preparing to go to the top level to claim our rewards."
"Are you talking about FlameDancer? Haven't you seen how powerful she is?" Eric asked, puzzled.
"No, it's Violet Mistflow. Thanks to her, we finally passed the assessment. But she's incredibly strong," Tonny said with admiration, "At first, she was just healing, and she got better and better at it, with very precise timing. But as the trial monsters got stronger and more numerous, healing alone wasn't enough. Then she started fighting. Initially, her combat skills were quite raw, but as the battles continued, her skills improved rapidly. In just one day, she surpassed FlameDancer."
He added, "Violet Mistflow was born for the Trial of the Gate? In the Trial of the Gate, each level rewards players based on their performance, and Violet Mistflow has been getting A-level ratings or higher ever since. Her gear and skills have been constantly improving. In terms of damage output, even with my Mephisto's Guardian Shield, I barely outdo her. If Violet Mistflow had an Epic Level staff, her damage output would leave me in the dust. She is the most talented person I've ever seen in Divine Realms: Legends. Eric, if you saw her terrifying growth, you'd be shocked too."
When it came to Violet Mistflow, Tonny kept talking, thinking she were the strongest player in Divine Realms: Legends, with no one stronger than her.
However, he was talking about her talent, not current strength, because Violet Mistflow's rate of improvement was terrifying. With such progress, she would inevitably become the strongest.
"It's good that you guys made it through. But Tonny, don't just focus on Violet Mistflow. She's a Priest, and you're a Sorcerer with an Epic Level staff. If you really lose to her in damage output, you'll have to hand over the Mephisto's Guardian Shield to her," Eric joked, feeling relieved.
There was no denying that Violet Mistflow was indeed a divine priest with extraordinary talent.
Maybe it was because she was only a healer back then that she didn't fully showcase her talent. But after leaving the Devouring Serpents, Violet Mistflow stopped healing and had to rely on herself in battles, which prompted her talent to explode.
Just like in the current trial, healing alone wasn't enough, so Violet Mistflow had to join the fight, which pushed her talent to the forefront.
"Maybe this is a genius, a realm that ordinary people can't reach," Eric sighed.
In his previous life, his skills were decent, but compared to Violet Mistflow now, he was miles behind. No wonder she could become a divine priest. But in this life, he wouldn't waste time and neglect physical training.
Then, Eric and Tonny spent an entire day getting the studio in order.
The current studio could accommodate over a hundred people and even had private rooms for advanced professions. The furniture was all high-end, and just one set of furniture cost more credit points than Eric could have dreamed of before. Besides the private rooms, he also set up a gym for some basic physical training.
Fighting in Divine Realms: Legends wasn't an easy task. It wasn't a simple game where you could become the ruler by staying up a few nights. It was a long-term war that required a balance of work and rest, especially physical training.
"Eric, the school is hosting a mixer the day after tomorrow. Should we buy a luxury car to show up in? Let's see who dares to look down on Aether Wing Studios then," Tonny said excitedly.
"A luxury car? Forget it, I can't afford that." Eric shook his head and laughed.
He had thought about boosting his external image, but his funds were tight, and he still owed a lot of credit points. It was better to spend money wisely.
The remaining issue was that the studio had too few members and needed to recruit a lot of new, potential members.
In the evening, Eric logged back into Divine Realms: Legends.
As soon as he appeared in the forge, a low hum filled his ears, it was the System notification sound.
It went on for over ten minutes before finally stopping.
Eric opened the System messages and saw thousands of them, all sent to the Black Flame ID. He glanced through a few and saw that they were all from people wanting to buy the beginner-level magic-powered Armor Scales of the Ancients. These messages came not only from Silvervale City but also from guilds in other cities, all wanting to meet him.
He just smiled because the effect he wanted had been achieved.
That was the fame of Black Flame. As long as there were beginner-level magic-powered Armor Scales of the Ancients, StellarTrails Emporium's business wouldn't suffer.
Anna reported that StellarTrails Emporium was now making over nine hundred gold coins a day. But this was just the beginning. As more Blacksmiths and Alchemists were recruited, daily production would increase, and so would daily earnings. Reaching thirty thousand gold coins a day was just a matter of time.
However, there was a more important issue for Eric to resolve.
Then, he contacted Isabella.
"Ms. Collins, could you do me a favor? I'd like to buy a few advanced Whetstone of Precision blueprints from you," Eric asked.
"The drop rate for advanced Whetstone of Precision blueprints is extremely low. Even our Devouring Serpents don't have many. But since we're old acquaintances, I can sell you a few. However, I'd like to trade them for beginner-level magic-powered Armor Scales of the Ancients." Isabella smiled slightly.
She was pleased that Black Flame had come to her for help, as it allowed her to request the beginner-level magic-powered Armor Scales of the Ancients directly.
After the beginner-level magic-powered Armor Scales of the Ancients came out, she had sent people to investigate and found that these were not ordinary items. They didn't drop from monsters but seemed to be obtained through special quest blueprints. Ordinary players couldn't get them, so the only way to obtain the magic-powered Armor Scales of the Ancients was through Black Flame.
"Alright, how do you want to trade, Ms. Collins?"
"One advanced Whetstone of Precision blueprint for 20 magic-powered Armor Scales of the Ancients. I can offer three blueprints."
"Deal. Just have your people bring the blueprints to StellarTrails Emporium for the exchange."
Eric didn't hesitate at Isabella's high price. After finalizing the deal, he hung up and took the newly made magic-powered Armor Scales of the Ancients to StellarTrails Emporium.
He didn't plan to use these advanced Whetstone of Precision blueprints for himself but for Frost Coco and MelancholyGrin. After all, he had many other things to do and couldn't always be forging items. They would be his main force in the future, so Eric bought the blueprints.
Just as Eric finished handling these matters, Tonny sent him a message: [Eric, we're out now. When are we heading to the Demonic Citadel?]
