From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 274 - 223 Forging Business_2

In his heart, he might have felt that the Black Iron Dwarves were already extinct.

As the last Black Iron Dwarf, he had lost his spirit and was just waiting for the true end of his race.

However, since the last time he met with the Iron Arm, the leader of the Bansel Clan, and heard from Lu Heng that other Black Iron Dwarves were scattered throughout the Abyss World, hope was ignited within him.

Sometimes, people live on hope, even if that hope is faint and may never be realized in their lifetime, but as long as there is hope, there is the motivation to keep living.

Gulu now had the motivation and officially decided to start his forging business.

When Lin Zeyu heard that Master Gulu was about to accept forging orders, his eyes lit up.

This was an opportunity to expand the business of the Flame Emblem Club, adding another income-generating route besides quenching.

Lin Zeyu immediately called a meeting with the club's management, went personally to see Gulu, listened to the requirements of the forging business, and then discussed how to promote this new service.

The forging business catered only to cold weapons such as swords and did not include firearms or energy weapons.

This was because firearms belonged to a different system.

Similarly, energy weapons could not be enhanced through forging.

If Gulu had started the forging business six months ago, the number of orders he would have received wouldn't have been substantial.

At that time, Superpower Users were keen on using firearms.

When the Source Energy Level was low, a pistol could easily kill a Superpower User.

As more Superpower Users reached the First Transition Class, those with cold weapons began to withstand pistols.

Once Superpower Users gained abilities of the Second Transition Class, they could more easily counter rifles with cold weapons.

By the end of October, during the Abyss Descent, Superpower Users no longer feared firearms as much.

Especially those with Level B skills, they had many ways to counter firearms.

From this point onward, the numbers of Superpower Users wielding cold weapons would gradually increase.

This could be seen from the quenching orders.

Six months prior, out of ten quenching orders, nine involved firearms.

Now, the proportion was even.

With more Superpower Users using cold weapons, the demand for forging naturally increased.

Thus, it was the perfect time for Gulu to start the forging business at Quenching Castle.

Lin Zeyu delegated this task, leaving the practical operations to the club's management.

The Flame Emblem Club, following Gulu's instructions, began to promote Quenching Castle's forging business and demonstrated the effects of forging.

Weapon forging could directly enhance the weapons' levels.

This enhancement was significant.

Especially for C-Level weapons that were of low basic level but had a high quenching level.

This led to an awkward situation.

Due to the low base level of the weapons, continuing quenching offered limited returns despite significant inputs.

Moreover, if a higher-level weapon was obtained later, all the resources previously invested in quenching would be wasted.

Now with Quenching Castle's enhanced forging service, weapons with initially low levels had a chance to improve.

In fact, among the Superpower Users, there were already those with the Vice Profession of Forge Master, but forging required a complete forge, not just a Quenching Furnace.

Therefore, even if there were Apprentice Forgers among the Superpower Users, they generally couldn't complete the forging process independently.

Thus, so far, no force was able to offer forging services.

The news that Quenching Castle had started accepting forging orders caused a big stir.

With the names Flame Emblem and Quenching Castle out there, no one doubted the authenticity of the forging service.

As a result, once the news was out, the Flame Emblem Club received numerous forging appointments and inquiries.

However, the materials used for weapon forging were not fixed; they needed to be selected based on the characteristics of each weapon.

Therefore, forging a weapon required Gulu to first see the weapon and then consider the needed materials.

For clients wishing to have their weapons forged, having the chance to meet Gulu in person was a great opportunity.

From that day on, the Flame Emblem Club began to officially accept forging orders.

Every day, only one spot was available to enter the Quenching Castle and discuss forging plans with Master Gulu.

After viewing the weapons that needed forging, Gulu would provide the required forging materials, then let customers source the materials themselves.

Lin Zeyu had previously acquired the forging materials when Lu Heng was upgrading the Aurora Blade.

The news that Quenching Castle was offering forging services caused the prices of forging materials on the market to skyrocket.

What once happened with quenching materials, now occurred again with forging materials.

Lin Zeyu seized the opportunity and made a fortune, waking up laughing every night.

...

While Quenching Castle was stirring up the Superpower Users' circle with its forging business, Su Muyu used a Space Anchor Point to make a trip to Sikes World.

Upon her return, she handed a storage device to Lu Heng.

"Everything is done, just as you instructed."

"Good," Lu Heng took the storage device and did not discuss the matter further.

"Do you need help?" Su Muyu was a bit worried because she had once sensed a mysterious person appearing around Lu Heng.

The mysterious person she had detected was naturally 027, so she knew Lu Heng had secrets.

Lu Heng was not intentionally keeping her in the dark, rather speaking out seemed useless.

Moreover, she was unaware that the Creator Organization would be better for her, as many secrets inherently carried risks.

In a previous life, it was Su Muyu who had first joined the Creator Organization, and later Lu Heng had followed.

In this life, Lu Heng was already a member of the Creator Organization, but Su Muyu was still unaware of its existence.

Lu Heng had considered this and decided it was better for her not to get involved in these murky waters.

The nature of the Creator Organization was hard to define.

In Lu Heng's memory, the organization did not display particularly vile behavior, but it wasn't a charitable organization either.

Simply put, the Creator Organization was a neutral power, acting purely for organizational goals.

However, after being reborn, the few tasks Lu Heng had undertaken for the Creator Organization had left him with a poor impression.

Initially, he had targeted several individuals, all of whom Lu Heng had killed.

Including Masami Ida who had already joined the organization, Lu Heng had eliminated three 029s in total.

But, there would be no more 029s in the future.

Because the Creator Organization would not reuse the same numbering.

The reason there had been three 029s before was that the first two had not officially joined the Creator.

Masami Ida, however, had officially joined and received an official number.

This meant, if the Creator wanted to invite the next member, the number would be 030, and 029 would never reappear.

After returning from Fusang, Lu Heng had been waiting for 027 to appear.

Since Masami Ida died, although his own number was higher, killing an official member of the organization would not end so easily.

Lu Heng waited three days, and 027 did not appear.

He was not sure if the high-sequence members of the Creator Organization were discussing how to deal with the matter or if 027 was on another assignment.

On the fourth night, Lu Heng finally saw someone at the training ground.

A person who appeared suddenly, wearing a cloak covered in black feathers and a hood that hid their face.

At a glance, the figure slightly resembled 027, but this person did not have the characteristic multicolored eyes.

Indeed.

Lu Heng had never seen 027's face, identifying him solely by his colorful eyes.

The person now before him did not have colored pupils, meaning this person was not 027.

Instead, this person's eyes exuded a dark aura.

"Who are you?"

After a moment of eye contact, Lu Heng was the first to speak and inquire.

The mysterious individual answered in a voice raspy like a black crow's, "Your new contact. You can call me 013."
