Chapter 13 Requesting Support, Requesting Sanjiang Tickets!

The Demon Mask could conceal one's identity. There were many things in God's Domain that he couldn't conveniently do openly. But with the Demon Mask, he could operate in the shadows under a different identity, doing things he couldn't do otherwise.

And now was the perfect time.

Shi Feng walked out of the inn and surveyed his surroundings. He noticed several players acting strangely, staring intently at the inn's entrance, as if waiting for something. However, thanks to the Demon Mask, they didn't notice him.

"Why isn't that kid coming out yet? Is he going to stay inside until his red name disappears?" An Assassin standing outside the inn grumbled impatiently.

"What's the rush? That kid is dead meat. How dare he sneak attack Iron Sword老大 (Lǎodà, Boss) and take down so many of our brothers? The Martial Union (Wǔlín Méng) has sworn eternal enmity with him. I want to see how long he can hide. If he foolishly waits for his red name to disappear without grinding to reduce his sin, it will take at least thirty hours. Even if he's strong now, after thirty hours, our equipment and levels will far surpass his. Wouldn't it be easier to kill him back to level zero then?" Another Assassin sneered.

While these members of the Martial Union were chatting and mocking Shi Feng, they didn't realize that Shi Feng was standing right next to them, hearing everything.

"The Martial Union moves pretty fast, sending an Assassin squad to watch me. They really think highly of me. Too bad I don't have time to play with them. I'll let them wait until dawn."

Shi Feng had anticipated that Iron Sword Kuángshī (Kuángshī, Mad Lion) wouldn't let him off. After all, they had crossed paths many times in his previous life, and he knew Iron Sword Kuángshī's personality well. He was definitely one to repay debts, both good and bad, quickly and decisively. Even if it cost him dearly, he would avenge himself a hundredfold.

To put it nicely, he was straightforward; to put it bluntly, he was stubborn and easily predictable.

Subsequently, Shi Feng leisurely left the inn, while the Assassin squad foolishly waited in front, mocking Shi Feng for being a coward, only daring to hide inside the inn, destined for death in the end.

The auction house in the trading district was packed with people, making it impossible to squeeze in and buy materials. He had no choice but to give up and head to the Chef's Association to check on Zi Yan Liuyun's progress.

Compared to the popular Blacksmith Association, the Chef's Association was deserted, with only a few lifestyle players entering and exiting.

Before entering the rented kitchen, Shi Feng adjusted the Demon Mask, restoring his appearance and hiding his red name.

When he entered the kitchen, he found Zi Yan Liuyun meticulously making iced juice, her movements surprisingly skilled and swift. Her level had also reached Level 3, surpassing many other lifestyle players.

He had seen many culinary masters from his previous life making cold drinks, but none were as natural and smooth as Zi Yan Liuyun, as if it were an innate talent. It was hard to imagine why Zi Yan Liuyun said her production speed was slow. It was clearly astonishingly fast. Was she deliberately deceiving him?

Shi Feng shook his head, thinking it was unnecessary. He walked over and suddenly asked, "Zi Yan, how's it going?"

However, Zi Yan Liuyun didn't seem to hear Shi Feng's question, still focused on making iced juice, oblivious to everything else.

Seeing Zi Yan Liuyun's concentration, Shi Feng was secretly amazed. He didn't disturb her but stood aside to observe.

More than ten minutes passed, and Zi Yan Liuyun still hadn't noticed Shi Feng. She had already made more than ten cups of iced juice, each with a clear and bright color, faintly emitting an alluring fragrance.

Just as she ran out of materials and was about to fetch some more,

"Ah!"

Zi Yan Liuyun was startled, realizing that the boss, Shi Feng, was standing behind her, looking as if he had been waiting for a while.

Thinking about making the boss wait so long, Zi Yan Liuyun felt flustered and said nervously with her head lowered, "Boss."

"Have you finished making the nine hundred cups of iced juice?" Shi Feng asked with a smile, his evaluation of Zi Yan Liuyun rising even higher.

The more focused a person is on their work, the higher their efficiency and the easier it is to overcome difficulties, like the Daoist concept of "Heaven and Man in Unity" or enlightenment. But not everyone can maintain a high level of concentration all the time. It's like studying for too long and starting to think about other things, or listening to a teacher's lecture and becoming distracted.

However, Zi Yan Liuyun possessed a concentration beyond ordinary people, doubling her efficiency and achieving twice the result with half the effort. No wonder she eventually became a God-Tier Priest. Even if she wasn't a Priest but played other classes, her achievements would probably not be low.

"Yes, I've finished them all. But while I was making them, I had some new insights and used a lot more materials to make new iced juice. Boss, you won't blame me, will you?" Zi Yan Liuyun said with some apprehension, after all, she hadn't followed Shi Feng's instructions to only make 900 cups and instead worked on other recipes.

Shi Feng chuckled, glancing at the hundreds of new cups of iced juice on the table. He encouraged her, "Why would I blame you? I should reward you. With these new iced juices, my chances of success for that matter will be higher. These 3 silver coins are my reward for you. I hope you can have more innovation. As for the profit sharing of these iced juices, I'll give it to you after I sell them."

"As for the iced juice, you can stop here for now. After that, focus on making those two wolf meat dishes, I have a big use for them."

Wolf meat wasn't valuable to current players, but after being made into wolf meat dishes, their price could increase more than tenfold because eating them would increase each class's main attributes by 5 points for one hour.

Such an increase was extremely tempting to many players, equivalent to leveling up, speeding up their grinding. However, current chef players didn't care about such high-cost dishes due to cost considerations. By the time they cared, they had already missed a great opportunity.

"Thank you, Boss, I will definitely complete the task." Zi Yan Liuyun took the 3 silver coins, her little face full of excitement and gratitude. She felt so lucky to have met Shi Feng. Otherwise, she would have to go to the streets and promote her products, and still wouldn't be able to sell many cups. These three silver coins would take her seven or eight days of hard work to earn, but now she only spent a day.

Afterward, Shi Feng put all the iced juice into his backpack, a total of one thousand seven hundred cups. If each cup was one copper coin, that would be seventeen silver coins. For ordinary players, that was definitely a lot of money, but for Shi Feng, it was just a drop in the bucket. However, Shi Feng didn't plan to sell them; he had other uses for them.

System: The design of the Glimmer blueprint you sold in the auction house has been sold, and 2 gold and 76 silver has been transferred to your backpack space after deducting the handling fee.

"Has the Assassin Alliance bought it?" Shi Feng pulled up the official website forum. As expected, the Assassin Alliance had posted, heavily publicizing their purchase of the design to increase their reputation and influence.

After all, being able to buy the design signified the guild's strength, which would make many casual players reassess the Assassin Alliance's strength.

"Zi Yan, if you want to exchange game coins for credit points, wait for more than an hour before putting the game coins on the virtual trading center for sale. That way, the price will be higher." Shi Feng thought for a moment and reminded Zi Yan Liuyun.

"Okay." Zi Yan Liuyun nodded obediently. Although she didn't understand Shi Feng's meaning, she still chose to trust him, after all, Shi Feng was her savior.

Afterward, Shi Feng gave Zi Yan Liuyun another 5 silver coins to buy some materials for making wolf meat dishes. Then, he left the Chef's Association, transforming into another middle-aged uncle.

"It's time to contact her." Shi Feng had completed the preparations, and the Assassin Alliance had made the major guilds start to worry. Now was the perfect time.

Shi Feng pulled up his friend list, found Ice Blue Ruin, and smiled, sending a message as the Black Flame Blacksmith, wanting to meet Ice Blue Ruin.
