Another World's Versatile Crafting Master

Chapter 300: Two Fatties

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the mention of the four magical weapons, Kaman suddenly grew excited, and rattled on about how he was amazed by it. He had been doubtful about the weapons when Lin Li handed them to him as they did not look like ancient artifacts, nor did they look like they had been crafted by a master artisan, and Kaman was worried that he would not be able to sell them...

Little did he know that someone would come to enquire about them the day they were listed in his shop. Kaman remembered that it was a level-15 Warrior Adventurer by the name of Jason. He was a well-known figure in Doland, and was a powerful Warrior who accomplished all his missions so far, thus making him a promising figure among Adventurers.

Kaman recalled that Jason was interested in the sword forged of rune’s adamantine. That was the most expensive of the four, with a price tag of 20,000 gold coins—more than enough to deter most buyers. Jason did not even frown as he swiped his crystal card; instead, Kaman clearly remembered how ecstatic he looked, just as if that had been a bargain...

Kaman had wondered if Jason was crazy for blowing through his fortune for a mere weapon.

Soon, he realized that Jason was not. In the span of a day, the other three weapons were sold, each at a price higher than what was initially set. The dagger made of Dream realm metal was by far the most ridiculous as two high-ranking bandits fought over it—the dagger was sold at 30,000 gold coins even though it had originally been priced at 5,000...

Kaman suddenly came to realize the incredible power this young mage he had just met held.

He could get over a million gold coins easily in exchange for a few pieces of magical equipment, something only the legendary Smithing Master was capable of.

The following days saw Kaman’s stone trading shop brimming with customers who were mostly level-15 and above, asking Kaman to bring out more magical equipment. In order to purchase equipment of their liking, these powerful individuals tried to outdo each other with promises of protection and bringing more business for Kaman. It all felt like a dream for Kaman...

While Kaman held great wealth and controlled over half of the stone trade in the past, he was well aware that he was nothing more than a speck of dust to these powerful individuals. They did not have any regard for him previously, for they knew they would never have to turn to Kaman for anything.

The Rosen Union could not compare to the Glittergold Trade Union, after all, and they had neither Legendary members nor powerful hitmen. While they held some influence, it was never enough for them to be respected in this power-hungry town.

However, as the four weapons were sold, it all seemed to change...

Luckily, Kaman was well aware of the fact that this was all because of the young mage in Black Clouds Town—the very young mage that had cost Kaman the loss of half of his subordinates. Well, he felt different about the matter after a month, even being thankful that he had brought his men to stir up trouble at Black Clouds Town, or how would he have got to know Mage Felic otherwise?

Not everyone had an opportunity to meet a Smithing Master...

Of course, Lin Li knew what happened in the process—he just was not interested. Right now, he was only concerned about the carriage of Ice Crystal Metal. Legend had it that it could only be found in the frozen soil of the poles, and weapons made of Ice Crystal Metal were not only incredibly sharp, but also boasted a powerful corrosive property—even a dragon’s scale would break with one blow...

What was truly terrifying about Ice Crystal Metal was not the weapons it could be made into; rather, it was the projectiles it could be made into—especially bolts used for defensive purposes. Equipment became truly lethal once it was equipped with a bolt made of Ice Crystal Metal. Till this day, Lin Li remembered the 50 chariots armed with Ice Crystal Metal crossbows at the Bright Moon Castle in Endless World—even a god would not survive a volley from all 50 crossbows...

When Kaman mentioned the dwarf had an entire carriage full of Ice Crystal Metal, Lin Li knew he had found the answer to a question he had long since been worried about. While he could avoid most trouble by building his tower in Black Clouds Town, defense remained a concern as Black Clouds Town was well-connected and situated on flat ground. If he was met with an attack from the likes of the Shadow’s Nest, wouldn’t his tower suffer a repeat of the Emerald Tower’s fate?

This carriage full of Ice Crystal Metal would solve his problem—with 10 chariots armed with Ice Crystal Metal crossbows, while he might not defeat a god, he could definitely kill everyone below level-20.

“Let’s go to Doland!” Lin Li eagerly called on Norfeller as he boarded a carriage with Kaman.

“Mage Felic...” Kaman carefully shifted away from Norfeller on the carriage. Perhaps it was due to their less than pleasant first meeting, but Kaman remained fearful of Norfeller, and felt himself seize up whenever the pale-faced young man was near...

“What is it?”

“Do you want to reconsider this? One million gold coins is not a small amount...” Kaman hesitated as he stumbled over his words. Honestly, one million was too expensive a price to Kaman...

“Haha, we’ll see then...” One million gold coins was not an expensive price at all to Lin Li, for he was well aware of the value of Ice Crystal Metal even though others might not be. The metal could only be found in soil frozen for a thousand years, and even a fistful was immeasurably precious, much less an entire carriage of it.

While one million gold coins was not a small amount, it was only money in the end. If he so wished, Lin Li could always earn it back. However, he might not come across an entire carriage full of Ice Crystal Metal again.

As the carriage pulled up to Doland, the streets were bustling with people. Mornings in Doland were always crowded and chaotic as everybody busied themselves with their daily errands; even the air smelled of the town’s bustle. The Rosen Union’s stone trading shop was next to the Adventurers Guild in the southern part of Doland. Lin Li had to admit that Kaman had foresight as this place was filled with Adventurers even though it was not a rich district, thus bringing them much business. It was safe to say that more than a half of the Rosen Union’s wealth was thanks to business from adventurers.

As the three alighted from the carriage, the shop was unusually crowded with a few dozen men surrounding the door, discussing away. For some reason, Lin Li saw Kaman’s expression change as he set foot on the steps...

“What’s that?”

“Sorry, Mage Felic, I think I may have a small problem...” Kaman paled as he eyed the crowd outside the shop.

Before Kaman finished speaking, a curse could be heard from the crowd. “Damn it, you idiots, get your boss here now. I don’t have the patience to deal with you, don’t make me burn your scam of a shop! ”

“Who’s that irritable man...?” Lin Li muttered as he brushed his nose. Kaman was a rich and powerful man, after all. To be snubbed by a man like this meant this might not just be a small problem...

Of course, Lin Li was not interested in this, as he was only working with Kaman for now—he wouldn’t even call it partnership. Hence, he chose not to stand up for Kaman, seeing as he was not looking for trouble.

Lin Li was right. As he muttered to himself, the impatient man started smashing the shop, which was left in a mess with a crash. Kaman wiped the sweat that had formed on his forehead, and reproved, “Who the hell dares to make a scene at the Rosen Union’s shop!”

However, he froze just as he finished his rant. “Young Master Lasorick, w-w-what brings you here...?”

A young man in his twenties emerged from the shop, his chubby and round physique rivaling that of Kaman, looking like a disco ball as his ostentatious armor made of silver glittered in the sunlight.

The fatty waddled over, and glared at Kaman with his beady eyes before his shooting his accusations out of the blue. “Damn it, Kaman, you’ve got some guts, how dare you fool me...”
