"Guild Leader, you're back!" Melancholic Smile, who was currently busy handling recruitment procedures on the second- floor hall, was pleasantly surprised to see Shi Feng.

"Mhm. What's the situation in Zero Wing City and Candlelight right now?" Shi Feng asked when he saw Melancholic Smile approaching him. When he noticed the Master Forger's Insignia pinned on her chest, he could not help his surprise, asking, "You got promoted to Master already?"

"I became a Master Forger just yesterday. It is all thanks to the rare materials you had Solitary Nine and the others deliver. Those materials allowed me to carry out many experiments. In the end, I managed to create an entirely new piece of equipment," Melancholic Smile said. However, despite her humble words, Melancholic Smile still felt a little proud of herself. After all, the threshold of Master was a huge one to cross. At this point in time, tons of Lifestyle players were still stuck at the Advanced rank, nowhere close to creating a new item.

"Since you've already been promoted to a Master Forger, I'll hand over these designs to you," Shi Feng said, taking out a few designs from his bag.

He had obtained these designs from the Snow Ruin. One of these designs was for the Level 50 Dark-Gold Weapon Sockham's Blade, one was for Level 50 Fine-Gold ranked plate armor armguards, and one was for Level 50 Dark-Gold ranked cloth armor robes.

Upon taking a closer look at these designs, Melancholic Smile immediately fell into a daze, her hands gripping the designs for Sockham's Blade and the Fine-Gold ranked armguards tightly.

"Guild Leader, can I really learn these?" she asked excitedly.

If these were merely Secret-Silver ranked forging designs, she wouldn't have batted an eye at them. However, it was a different story for Level 50 Fine-Gold and Dark-Gold ranked designs because forging items of such quality required completely different techniques and the proper matching of materials to unleash the full potential of the materials used.

In short, the rank of a forged weapon or equipment was determined by a forger's capability to utilize the materials involved.

If a forger was capable of forging only Bronze and Mysterious-Iron ranked weapons and equipment, then their ability to unleash the potential of raw materials was only at a rudimentary level. Weapons and equipment at the Dark-Gold rank, on the other hand, could be considered works of art. At this rank, the matching of materials was practically at a perfect level.

Meanwhile, if players wished to create such works of art of their own, they needed to keep learning Level 50-plus Fine-Gold and Dark-Gold ranked forging designs.

However, designs of such rank were extremely rare and difficult to obtain. Thus far, aside from the Fine-Gold rank and above designs from the Holy City of Titan, the Candlelight Trading Firm did not possess any other high-ranking designs.

"Of course. If Candlelight has a tailor who has reached the Master rank, then that robe design will be theirs," Shi Feng said, chuckling. This situation made him realize that, aside from various rare materials, he could also get high-ranking designs for Lifestyle players from the Ice Crystal World. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have Solitary Nine transfer some of the high- ranking designs they acquired at the Ice Crystal World.

"Thank you, Guild Leader! I'll make sure to produce weapons and equipment that will be to your satisfaction very quickly!" Melancholic Smile was brimming with joy as she stored the designs.

Afterward, she started reporting on Zero Wing's current affairs to Shi Feng.

Thanks to Zero Wing City and Silverwing Town, Zero Wing's development was zooming along. The Guild already had over 240,000 elite members and 7,000 expert members. Those numbers could already rival those of first-rate Guilds.
