Chapter 44 Changes
Although failure was something Eric could afford, no one liked to waste money, so he felt a bit nervous.
After Eric clicked to check the data, the words "Detecting" appeared on the armor's display screen.
The red progress bar gradually began to grow as the system determined the equipment data.
Three seconds later, the system finished reading and displayed the armor data.
Guardian Plate, Bronze Level plate armor, requires 10 Strength points, level 3, Defense +22, Strength +2, Stamina +3, Health +150, Durability 35/35, with the ability Defense Power, reduces damage received by 3%, restricted to Shield Warrior and Guardian Knight classes.
System: [ You successfully forged a Guardian Plate, gaining 2 points of forging proficiency and earning 800 experience points.]
"Great, it even has Defense Power," Eric said happily, looking at the additional ability.
He didn't expect to successfully forge Bronze Equipment on his first try and gain so much experience. No wonder many master forgers in the past didn't go out to fight monsters; their levels were still high. This Guardian Plate not only met the basic attribute standards but also had an additional ability.
Initially, Guardian Plate didn't have Defense Power. Still, the forger's exceptional performance and the presence of special fire made it possible for the additional ability to appear, enhancing the equipment's value even further.
Eric carefully examined the Guardian Plate, noting its silver-gray metallic texture and stylish design, which was definitely superior to ordinary Bronze Equipment. He was delighted with his creation.
Currently, Common Level equipment was still the mainstream gear for players. Even when players reached levels five or six, it wasn't unusual for them to be wearing a complete set of Common Level equipment. After all, Bronze Equipment was hard to come by. Even elite players would be ecstatic to acquire one or two pieces of Bronze Equipment.
If Eric sold the Guardian Plate, which both Shield Warrior and Guardian Knight could wear, it would definitely be welcomed by elite teams. The quality of an MT's equipment could determine how comfortably a team could clear a dungeon. Even if he priced it at four silver coins, these teams would buy it at any cost.
As for the Guardian Plate with Defense Power, its value to an MT was self-evident. Eric wouldn't sell it for less than 5 silver coins.
With the experience of the first successful forge, he continued to forge Guardian Plate.
This time, however, Eric took out Hundredfold Steel. He was eager to witness the outcome of the equipment crafted using this material.
In less than ten minutes, the second Guardian Plate was completed.
However, its color was different from the previous Guardian Plate; it was dark black instead of silver-gray.
After three seconds of system detection, the data was displayed again.
Guardian Heavy Armor, Bronze Level plate armor, requires 14 Strength points, level 3, Defense +25, Strength +2, Stamina +4, Health +150, Durability 40/40, with the ability Defense Power, reduces damage received by 5%, restricted to Shield Warrior and Guardian Knight classes.
System: [ You successfully forged a Guardian Heavy Armor, increasing your forging proficiency by 2 points and earning 1000 experience points.]
System: [ Due to the talent "Forging Genius," you gained an additional 2 points of forging proficiency. ]
Eric had forgotten about the extra proficiency from his forging talent. He stared at the Guardian Heavy Armor, noting that its attributes were already comparable to level 3 Black Iron equipment, with a price of at least ten silver coins.
He didn't expect such a significant change after adding Hundredfold Steel to the forging process. It must be acknowledged that the gift from the master forger was extraordinary., but unfortunately, he only had nine pieces of Hundredfold Steel left.
Given the effect of Hundredfold Steel, Eric naturally wouldn't use it recklessly. He planned to save it to forge other good equipment in the future.
Two hours quickly passed, and Eric continuously forged Guardian Plate, producing a total of twenty-three pieces, with four failures.
However, Eric was already very satisfied. The profit from one successful Guardian Plate could make up for the four failed ones.
At the same time, Eric's level increased to 3, bringing him closer to the top players. His forging proficiency also rose to 44 points, a speed far surpassing the forging players in the guilds by at least four or five times.
Eric then left the intermediate forging room and headed to the auction house.
He directly put up the eleven Guardian Plates without Defense Power, with a starting price of 4 silver coins. As for the Guardian Plates with Defense Power and the Guardian Heavy Armor, he decided to keep them for now. Letting the guilds and elite teams taste the benefits first would help him sell the remaining Guardian Plates at a better price.
Eric proceeded to set up a stall in the trading area, and with a casual shout, numerous players flocked to sell Stone Materials and Magic Essence.After half an hour of collecting Stone Materials and Magic Essence, Eric checked the time. It was almost evening in Divine Realms: Legends and the monsters would become much stronger at night, making it unsuitable for players to level up. Besides, he needed to rest.
He was still using a virtual helmet, not a virtual rest pod. A virtual rest pod could provide the body with necessary energy and nutrients at any time and stimulate all muscles, preventing physical weakness from long hours of playing Divine Realms: Legends.
Eric swiped his finger to bring up the system interface and chose to log out.
In his small rented room, sunlight had already poured through the window, and the indoor temperature began to rise.
Eric took off his virtual helmet, sat up slightly, and stretched.
After lying in bed for over ten hours without moving, his body was numb, and he needed to exercise.
Eric started doing basic exercises like push-ups and sit-ups.
In today's highly materialized society, physical exercise had become an essential part of life.
Several decades ago, many scientists made significant breakthroughs in projects related to body strengthening and lifespan extension, allowing humanity to maintain youth longer and increasing the global average lifespan to one hundred years. They also emphasized the necessity of physical exercise.
Thus, the era of nationwide fitness arrived.
Nowadays, sports competitions and martial arts tournaments were viral.
In universities, there were many sports clubs and martial arts clubs, which were very popular among students.
In today's society, those without good physical fitness were looked down upon. Sports stars and martial arts experts were highly revered. Admirers always surrounded University sports recruits and students who frequently participated in martial arts competition, while the gigolo era from a few centuries ago was no longer in vogue.
In his previous life, Eric neglected his health and almost ruined his body. By the time he decided to start exercising, he was already older, and despite his efforts, the results were not significant.
In this life, Eric wouldn't make the same mistake, focusing solely on Divine Realms: Legends and neglecting his physical health.
After half an hour of exercise, Eric, drenched in sweat, took a shower. Just as he was about to eat his instant noodles, the phone rang.
Eric checked the caller ID and saw it was Katherine Carey, the class president who hadn't spoken to much.
"Katherine, what's up?" Eric asked after answering the call.
In his memory, aside from classes, he hadn't interacted much with Katherine, and they had spoken fewer than a hundred sentences in four years.
"Eric, you need to come to school quickly. You were the only one not in the dorms, so you weren't notified. I'm telling you now, there's an important announcement at 11 AM in classroom 401 of building 3."
Eric looked at the digital clock on the table; it was already 10:30 AM. He replied, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
