As the level of technique Shi Feng demonstrated was slightly high, in addition to his strict requirement, Cream Cocoa and Melancholic Smile immediately grew serious.
Shi Feng's forging techniques had clearly undergone refinement hundreds and thousands of times. It was not something inexperienced forgers like them could hope to compare to. However, they had, more or less, noticed the key points in Shi Feng's demonstration.
Soon after, the two girls stepped up to their separate forging tables. As if they had received some enlightenment, they held up the forging materials and fell into deep thought.
_As expected of future Master Forgers._ Shi Feng revealed a faint smile when he noticed their actions.
At this point, it was impossible for the average player to possess sufficient materials to practice their forging with, not to mention the precious materials to produce items.
However, Shi Feng was different from these inexperienced forgers. During his ten years of playing God's Domain, he had encountered plenty of Master Forgers. In their free time, these players would usually discuss forging. For players with their skill level, their conversations were no longer about simply "playing a game" but instead, counted as true research. Shi Feng had experienced many such conversations. Coupling that knowledge with an endless supply of materials to use as practice, he had naturally learned the craft fairly quickly. However, in terms of talent, Shi Feng was far from being a match of the girls currently before him. After all, at the end of the day, Shi Feng was still a player more suited to battle and adventure.
The only thing he could do was combine the knowledge he had gained from listening to those masters with his own understanding of forging techniques and display it.
Although it would not be of great help, it would be enough as long as they could realize their own deficiencies.
At this stage of the game, a majority of the players had a relatively high success rate when producing Whetstones. They should have at least a 40% success rate; they should be able to produce two Whetstones out of five sets of materials. If they had passable techniques, it wouldn't be unusual if they could even produce three. However, a majority of the players at this stage could only produce one Whetstone out of five attempts.
Although the Forging Rooms in the Starstreak Trading Firm were not comparable to the Intermediate Forging Rooms in the Forging Association, they should still be much better than the Basic Forging Rooms. When making a common item like the Whetstone, the Forging Room should increase a player's success rate by at least 5%.
Due to this, Shi Feng required the both of them to produce two Whetstones out of five sets of materials.
After a period of silence, the two girls finally started their first attempt at producing the Whetstone.
Three minutes later, both had produced their first Whetstones. They wore joyful expressions as they handed their products to Shi Feng for evaluation.
"A failure. The same goes for this one," Shi Feng shook his head after he checked the information on the two items. Both Whetstones were of poor quality, and they yielded zero effects when used.
Cream Cocoa and Melancholic Smile were both disappointed by these results. They knew they did not have many chances remaining. If they did not produce two Whetstones out of the remaining four sets of materials, without a doubt, they would be chased out of the trading firm.
