Chapter 184 - Good Luck

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Incompetent Pig finally joined the station. He was so excited when he got the hammer that his eyes were almost swallowed by the fire of excitement.

These lifestyle players were not well-liked in the early stages of the game. The value they could produce was not high.

Especially for these equipment players.

In the early stages, the quality of the equipment they made was not high.

Most of the equipment in the early stages relied on loot.

Some of the equipment dropped was made from very rare materials.

For example, the Lightning Spear. Even now, it was still a great killing weapon.

Perfect-grade equipment was the peak of the early stages.

Meanwhile, this peak required a very high degree of proficiency.

Only a rich man like Li Yi could rely on money to obtain it.

However, these lifestyle players had already determined their direction from the start. Before they reached the perfect level, they would not be respected by others. Of course, that was not the same in later stages.

In the later stages, reinforcement stones would appear in batches. After higher quality equipment appeared.

If players wanted to improve the quality of their equipment, they had to rely on these players.

At that time, they would be the true gods of the game.

Li Yi knew this very well when it came to making weapons.

He only had 50% proficiency.

However, if Incompetent Pig could reach a 100% proficiency…

Then it would be completely in Li Yi’s favor.

Therefore, these lifestyle players were all treasures in Li Yi’s eyes.

Especially those who were passionate about their profession like Incompetent Pig.

Since there were many lifestyle players, the forging shop naturally had to expand.

Li Yi brought Little Merchant and the other lifestyle players back to Emperor City’s blacksmith shop and purchased a batch of forging tables.

With Li Yi’s identity, the forging tables were naturally sold at a discount. He also bought some Advanced Forging skill books along the way.

After that, he purchased a large batch of materials.

He returned to Carefree Station with a mountain of items for others. Originally, there was only one forging table in the shop. Now, there were five advanced forging tables.

It was enough for everyone to go around.

Moreover, the raw materials were sufficient for everyone.

The price of the Mithril was still considered fair. Li Yi took the opportunity to purchase a large-scale batch, and this Mithril became more and more expensive as time went on.

After having the raw materials, they could start forging equipment and weapons.

The equipment that was produced in the early stages were all for sale. After all, everyone’s proficiency was only around 30%, and only Incompetent Pig’s proficiency was 35%.

However, this level of proficiency was far from Li Yi’s.

Li Yi had set a goal for them to reach 50% first.

If they needed materials, they would look for Little Merchant.

Little Merchant wept helplessly. He looked at his cash and saw that it was getting smaller.

Little Merchant looked at Snow Chaser for help, but she only looked away and indicated that she had something to do.

Little Merchant looked at Li Yi and chose to shut up.

Li Yi did not have as much money on him as he did.

‘Forget it, I’ll just treat it as an investment.’ He thought to himself.

The Forging Room here was in full swing.

On the other side, the Alchemy Room was deserted.

Refining medicine was different from forging.

There were not many differences in forging methods. The biggest problems were just proficiency and forging materials.

However, refining medicine was different.

Every medicine required different materials, amounts, and refining methods. Even if there were materials, it would be impossible to refine it without a blueprint. Therefore, there were only a few ordinary blueprints.

These blueprints were not worth much money.

Li Yi was not familiar with finding blueprints.

He could only wait for Dream Seeker to come back and let his Treasure Merchant title see if he could give him a solution.

At this moment, Li Yi and the others smelled a fragrance.

It was the smell of meaty soup. Li Yi and the others quickly followed the smell to the kitchen.

They saw a female player making soup in the kitchen.

Although Divine Revelation did not make them hungry, it still allowed them to smell fragrant food for them to gain the experience.

Their five senses were alive.

Now that they smelled the soup, the fragrance filled their nostrils and made them feel relaxed. The thick fragrance tugged at their hearts and made them salivate.

He could not hold it in any longer, so Li Yi and the others requested for a bowl each.

After he finished drinking, Li Yi felt refreshed, and he even felt a trace of strength surging out of him.

Li Yi opened his own panel and discovered that there was an additional buff symbol on the side.

It was a temporary increase in stamina.

This stamina value was a very mysterious thing.

It did not affect one’s damage, nor did it increase one’s HP and MP. It also did not have any sort of speed bonuses.

And there was not a single value.

The stamina value in Divine Revelation was set according to the player’s own data.

When the player’s body is strong, the data would be higher, and when the player’s body is tired, the data would be lower.

This data was a hidden data that was not publicly disclosed.

Players could not feel it, but they knew it existed.

However, Li Yi knew that this stamina value is the key to success.

When the players are exhausted, their actions will become slow or judgment will be wrong.

In order to curb physical exhaustion. This food was the cure.

It had the ability to improve stamina.

This meant that he could fight a longer battle in the future.

Li Yi asked for the other party’s name.

This female player was called Sponge Foam, and she was a chef in real life.

Now that she was a boss of a restaurant, she came to play games when she had time.

When she saw that there was a kitchen, she tried it on a whim. She did not expect that she could really make food.

Even the villagers were shocked when they saw this soup.

They had never seen such a rich and delicious meal before.

There were no delicacies in this world, and the cooking methods of the ingredients were very crude.

The players did not have a good impression of the food here. Fortunately, the players did not feel hungry, or they would have starved.

However, everything has changed.

With Sponge Foam, they could now taste the real delicacies of this game.

Li Yi had Sponge Foam make a few more dishes.

“Braised pork ribs…”

“Kung pao chicken…”

“Green pepper minced meat…”

…

Not only did the players eat it together, but they also specially made a portion and distributed it to the NPC villagers of Carefree Station.

The villagers were as touched as if it were a gift from heaven.

“Oh my gosh, this is even better than the food I ate in the restaurants outside.”

“Oh no, I don’t want to eat take-out anymore.”

Even Clutch King, who had been training all this time, could smell the fragrance as he ran over.

“Bro, please let me know when you have such good things in the future.”

Seeing that everyone was eating happily, Sponge Foam was delighted.

“Slow down, there’s still more if you don’t have enough.”

Li Yi was very happy to see everyone eating so happily.

He had thought of a good idea.

In the future, he might be able to come up with new tactics in dungeons.

When Dream Seeker arrived, he had to give it a good try..
