MMORPG: Martial Gamer Chapter 743 - Mode of Forging

1. System Mode

2. Free Mode

“What?” Seeing that the [Magical Refining] skill had different modes, w.a.n.g Yu was surprised that there was this special function after reaching a high level for his secondary job.

Then again, the secondary jobs in <> was designed based on reality. Just by forging, usual online games would be throwing all the materials in then wait for its progress and what comes out depended on fate.

However, it was different in <>. From melting to a.s.sembly, players had to do it hands-on. Even if there was a system success rate, it would be a symbolic value and this value would be closely related to the player’s familiarity. So long as the player was familiar with it, the success rate would be higher.

Every Blacksmith had to undergo countless operations before levelling up so only Blacksmiths who persevere can reach a high level and in reality, they would probably be able to forge… By then, the free mode would allow players to easily unleash their highest standards.

Hence, there is not much use in playing the game but at least they can pick up a skill…

w.a.n.g Yu had only used [Magical Refining] a few times and relied on the skill book to level up so he was behind usual Blacksmiths in terms of real training. Hence, w.a.n.g Yu chose system mode.

After picking the system mode, a small row of words appeared below: You are about to use [Magical Refining] to install G.o.d’s Wood into the high-level item, s.h.i.+eld of G.o.d. The first time’s success rate is below 30%, the second time’s success rate is below 10% etc… Install?

“30% only…” Seeing this success rate made w.a.n.g Yu ponder.

G.o.d’s Wood was not cheap and yet, the first time’s success rate was so low and subsequent success rates were even lower. This was obviously a money trap.

At this thought, w.a.n.g Yu changed the mode to free mode.

The notice became: You are about to use high level [Magical Refining] to install G.o.d’s Wood to the high-level item, s.h.i.+eld of G.o.d. Install?

It seemed like under free mode, the system removed the success rate and relied completely on the player’s forging skills.

Carefully thinking about the process he went through to make equipment for Boson, w.a.n.g Yu gritted his teeth and picked the free mode then confirmed the installation.

Soon after, an outline of G.o.d’s Wood appeared on the s.h.i.+eld of G.o.d which was on w.a.n.g Yu operation page.

w.a.n.g Yu picked up the G.o.d’s Wood and placed it on the outline then lifted the hammer to hammer down lightly.

“Pa…”

w.a.n.g Yu hammered but the s.h.i.+eld did not move and nothing changed. The G.o.d’s Wood turned into powder upon w.a.n.g Yu’s hammer.

w.a.n.g Yu was speechless, “…”

“Failed at his first attempt? He must not be a high-level Blacksmith…”

“That’s not for sure, he might have levelled up through skill books…”

Those surrounding to watch saw what happened and could not help but gloat.

Based on the familiarity of a high-level Blacksmith, it was not difficult to install the G.o.d’s Wood at one attempt, with a success rate of about eighty to ninety percent…

To fail at the first attempt, it was either luck or if not, it would be like w.a.n.g Yu, who relied on skill books to level up. Such Blacksmiths were usually like those who were thrown into the king position in LOL which only gave them the status but not the skills.

Seeing how w.a.n.g Yu failed, most people only had one comment: Exposed. And to Crotch Lord: Serve you right for your arrogance!

Just then, Crotch Lord’s face turned pale and heavily said, “Brother Bull, are you not skilled to do this? If you can’t, I’ll look for someone else.”

“You don’t understand…” w.a.n.g Yu dismissed him and said, “This requires a lot of skills, let me try again.”

As he spoke, w.a.n.g Yu picked up the hammer and hammered down once more.

A red flash of light appeared on the s.h.i.+eld and the G.o.d’s Wood turned into powder once more.

“Ha…” Seeing how w.a.n.g Yu also failed his second time, everyone below could not help but laugh out loud.

He could blame luck for failing the first time but failing a second time meant that it was his skills.

Crotch Lord was panicking, he said, “Brother, Brother Bull… I think it’s enough for today.” G.o.d’s Wood could not be found easily. Crotch Lord painstakingly got five pieces in hopes of owning a piece of holy equipment but w.a.n.g Yu’s double failure gave Crotch Lord a heartbreak.

It was key that the more times they tried, the lower the success rate for installing the G.o.d’s Wood. However, w.a.n.g Yu failed twice in the first installation attempt. At this rate, he would use up all five pieces.

“Hmm…” w.a.n.g Yu rubbed his chin and said, “I think I have figured out the exact amount of strength. Let me try again.”

“But…” Crotch Lord was hesitating. He was the one who chose w.a.n.g Yu so it would be rude to stop now. Even though they were very close, Crotch Lord still found it difficult to reject w.a.n.g Yu.

Seeing Crotch Lord’s hesitation, w.a.n.g Yu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, trust me.”

“Alright! Go ahead!” Crotch Lord gritted his teeth and made his final decision.

Without w.a.n.g Yu, he would not have these G.o.d’s Wood. It was just five pieces of wood, even if he lost all of them, it was fine! Crotch Lord went all out.

w.a.n.g Yu placed the third piece of G.o.d’s Wood on the table then used the hammer and hammered down lightly. A green ray flashed across the s.h.i.+eld.

“We… We succeeded!!” Crotch Lord had been staring at the s.h.i.+eld since w.a.n.g Yu lifted the hammer and when he saw the success ray flash across the s.h.i.+eld, tears of excitement rolled down his cheeks.

Those watching below empathised with Crotch Lord’s excitement. Poor thing, he only succeeded in the third piece. He must be heartbroken.

Just then, w.a.n.g Yu took another piece of G.o.d’s Wood and placed it in the operation column.

He used the suitable amount of strength and hammered the G.o.d’s Wood into the outline three times. Number of hammers: 0/3.

w.a.n.g Yu asked Crotch Lord, “Do I continue?”

“Do you have confidence?” Crotch Lord asked.

“Ninety percent confident!” w.a.n.g Yu said.

“Continue then!”

“En!”

w.a.n.g Yu nodded and used the hammer to hammer down three times.

“Dang, dang, dang”

The hammering sounds were continuous and rhythmic. Three rays of green light flashed on the s.h.i.+eld.

As the green rays flashed across, the entire shop fell into complete silence. Everyone, including Crotch Lord, looked lost.

After a while, someone below said, “Success at the first attempt during the second installation, how is that possible?”
