After logging off, Fang Xinhan sent another message to Ji Zi, but after waiting a few minutes, he received no response.
"This guy hasn't had too much to drink again, has he?"
And the truth was exactly as Fang Xinhan had thought; Ji Zi was now lying on the double bed Fang Xinhan had placed in the bar, her face flushed, her beautiful eyes tightly closed, and mumbling in her sleep.
"Hehe... good wine... huh? Kiana, have you finished your homework?... Principal, you're looking at Honkai manga again..."
Fang Xinhan originally wanted to send another message, but the class bell had already rung, so he could only give up.
Class time was always boring; the teacher's lecture was more effective than any ASMR for sleep, and by the end of the class, only a few were still awake.
'Ding-a-ling!' The class bell rang, and the students, who looked like wilted flowers, suddenly sat up straight.
"Class dismissed, students."
The teacher left the classroom, and the students also began to liven up.
The sun, like an old grandfather, slowly moved from the midday sky towards the west.
When the sun reached dusk, the day had passed.
Fang Xinhan didn't go home immediately; instead, he avoided all nearby cameras and turned into a small alley.
After observing that no one was around, Fang Xinhan entered the Inner World and then re-entered his island.
Watching the puppets still working on the assembly line greet Fang Xinhan, he put his hands behind his back and puffed out his chest, like a leading cadre on an inspection tour.
"Creator, you've returned."
Ford, dressed in a tuxedo, wearing white gloves, and with a monocle over his left eye, bowed respectfully like a butler gentleman.
"This outfit of yours is?"
"Reporting, Creator, I am very interested in the human profession of a butler, so I have found many related materials in the library."
Seeing such a standard butler's attire, he hadn't expected Ford's learning ability to be so strong.
Fang Xinhan patted his shoulder, nodded, and gave him a thumbs-up, indicating 'keep it up, I'm rooting for you.'
Then he walked straight towards the bar; Ji Zi had also returned here from the real world.
You ask what happened?
As everyone knows, the Inner World allows Players to stay for a maximum of 12 hours. Fang Xinhan took advantage of the class break to take Ji Zi out and let her sleep for a day in a hotel.
You ask how he managed the ID card? That's where the magical Alchemy comes in.
Ji Zi was now sitting idly in a chair; ever since she returned to this island, the puppets Fang Xinhan made had forbidden her from drinking alcohol again.
"You're back."
Ji Zi was mixing juice; although drinking alcohol was forbidden, mixing it was still allowed, as these items were also among those to be sold.
"How much have you made?"
"12 types of alcohol, 20 cups of each. How do you plan to sell them?"
Fang Xinhan thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.
"I haven't claimed my reward from the last dungeon yet."
Fang Xinhan opened the dungeon game interface to claim the reward. He received 1100 gold coins and allocated 200 gold coins as Ji Zi's remuneration.
Then came the reward of a random fine-quality item.
<Item Name: Profound Iron Greatsword>
<Type: Weapon>
<Quality: Fine>
<Effect 1: Heavy Strike. Utilizing the Profound Iron Greatsword's inherent heavy property, a charged attack can deal weak point critical damage to the target. For creatures at 5% health, there is a 10% chance of an instant kill.>
<Effect 2: Solid as a Rock. Utilizing its inherent hardness, it can block most damage.>
<Equipment Requirements: Strength and Stamina both greater than 8 points>
(Note: A very heavy greatsword forged from extraterrestrial Profound Iron. Its texture is extremely hard, but due to its cumbersome nature, few can wield it. However, it is quite suitable as a shield.)
"Ji Zi, this greatsword is for you."
Fang Xinhan said, handing the Profound Iron Greatsword to Ji Zi. After checking the Profound Iron Greatsword's attributes, Ji Zi found that she couldn't use it yet.
"The system says my attributes don't meet the standard. How do I check my own attributes?"
Fang Xinhan covered his face with his right hand; he had forgotten that Players must reach Lv5 to view their own attributes.
"You keep it for now; I'll make you another one."
Fang Xinhan went to the Tinkers' Construct Smeltery, took out a gold mold, and began to select materials for a greatsword. The material he chose was Manyullyn.
Manyullyn is the strongest for some tools, such as various swords and axes.
However, in some cases, it is inferior to Cobalt, such as for pickaxes and hammers.
Overall, Manyullyn is used to create offensive weapons and has the highest mining level and durability.
Using Manyullyn as the material for a greatsword was perfectly suitable.
He cast a Manyullyn blade, a broad guard, and a hilt. After assembling the ma yuling greatsword on the crafting table, he reinforced it with a moss ball and a Wither Bone.
<Item Name: ma yuling greatsword>
<Type: Weapon>
<Quality: Rare>
<Effect 1: Lifesteal. Deals healing effects when attacking enemies, draining a maximum of 10% of one's own health per attack.>
<Effect 2: Durability Restoration. Automatically restores durability, with effects doubled under sunlight.>
<Equipment Requirements: None>
(Note: The ordinary creates the extraordinary, the Dao originates from nature, the greatsword classic lives on forever.)
"Hmm... it seems I've created a weapon with higher quality and lower restrictions than the greatsword I just made."
Without thinking too much, Fang Xinhan handed the ma yuling greatsword to Ji Zi. Ji Zi looked at Fang Xinhan with strange eyes, thinking, 'Why didn't he take out the good stuff from the beginning?'
"Ahem, my props shop is opening today. Come help me out, and after we're done, I'll get your ID card sorted."
It had been half a year since the dungeon game launched, and during that half a year, it was in a closed beta version. It wasn't until two days ago that the official version of the Inner World was released.
From the closed beta to the current official 1.0 version, the only ways for Players to obtain extraordinary items were through system rewards, mall exchanges, and Player trading.
The lowest-priced extraordinary items were generally around 1000 gold coins.
Fang Xinhan knew that as time passed, various types of Players would emerge: blacksmiths, alchemists, mages, mercenaries, assassins, technicians, and so on.
Wait, did something strange just get mixed in there?
Fang Xinhan's ordinary extraordinary items would be priced at half the lowest market price. Originally, he had wanted to push the price down to 100 gold coins.
But on second thought, if his competitors considered it malicious price-cutting, he would probably be targeted.
Although Fang Xinhan wasn't afraid of being targeted, he was afraid of trouble, so he finally decided to price ordinary quality items at 500 gold coins each.
The two arrived at the main city and reached the front of the 'Liang Bu Liao Props Shop'.
Fang Xinhan took down the 'Temporarily Closed' sign.
"Liang Bu Liao Props Shop, open for business!"
(P.S.: Hehehe, I think I dreamed I entered Minecraft.)
