After less than an hour, I had bought around 47 swords. I just wasn’t getting swords fast enough, so as I ran back to the blacksmith, I messaged Fox to have him help me gather some more swords. Afterwards, I opened up my friends list, and then called Wan Er–
“Wan Er?”
“Yes? I’m here, what do you need?”
“Can you help me with this one favor?”
“Say it…” Wan Er laughed, “What has gotten your confidence so low?”
“It’s not much…” I waved my hand, “What I really need…is for you to go to Fan Shu City, and grab every trashy sword you can find. They have to be Silver Tier or higher though. Please help me out, all of the trash tier swords in Ba Huang City have already been wiped out…”
“Eh? What do you want to do with all of these swords?”
“I need them for my quest. Do you remember that ancient spirit sword I got? In order to awaken the spirit in the sword, I need to gather and forge swords together into it. Since it is like that, I probably need around 1000 of them…”
Wan Er went silent for a second, “Alright then, just wait for me. I’ll have some friends in Fan Shu City help out, so keep on working and we should be done after 2 hours or so…”
“Okay, thanks!”
……
Not long afterwards, Fox as well as a few other uncles from the guild scattered towards each of the city gates to help collect swords. I continued to wander around Ba Huang City’s north gate. After another hour, I managed to collect another 91 swords and almost filled up my entire inventory. Nearly 100 slots of my inventory had been taken up by all these trash swords!
“Di!”
Wan Er reported back with some information, “Hey… we’ve managed to get you around 519 swords in total, but did you still need it? How many did you guys get?”
I was overjoyed, “Fox and the others helped me gather over 300 swords, so that should be enough. I’ll come over to Fan Shu City to collect them right away!”
“Don’t worry…” Wan Er laughed, “Besides, what if you get killed on the way here? Even if you don’t die, you can’t carry all of those swords by yourself, I’ll have some people bring it over, so you stay at Ba Huang City and wait for us. We’ll be there within half an hour.”
“That sounds good, I’ll be waiting then!”
“Okay!”
First I had Fox help carry the swords to Li Leng, to smelt the swords down. At this point, the Sword Spirit was at 50.7% percent. With the swords that Wan Er was bringing, the Sword Spirit will have awoken by the end of today! I was excited for this; when the spirit awoke, what type of new sword would I receive from it?
As I waited on the northern bridge for nearly an hour, I saw a group of people emerging from the forests. At the head of the group was a beautiful Assassin. Her body was covered by leather armor that had a magical glow to it. Who else could this be but Wan Er?
Aside from her, there were 6 other players from Fan Shu City’s [Hero Mound] guild. All of them already had their third class advancements and the sight of those 7 were a sight to behold. It was actually quite terrifying, as they were all high leveled players. Each one was completely decked out in Purple Tier equipment!
I quickly walked over and welcomed them, laughing: “Wan Er, you’ve worked hard!”
Wan Er shook her head and laughed lightly: “It wasn’t much work, just a walk in the park. Come on, I want to personally witness how this Sword Spirit will recover. Right, I forgot to introduce you. These people are all my friends, all of them are quite well-known Fan Shu City……”
I pursed my lips: “[Hero Mound] is truly a place where large amounts of hidden talents reside. There’s actually so many third job experts……”
One pretty Lv 61 Archer laughed lightly: “You flatter us Guild Master Zi Zai. How can we be considered experts when [Hero Mound] already has at least 200+ third advancement players. We can only be considered mainstream players……”
