After defeating the first batch of Hot-blooded Orc Warriors, Shi Feng had a preliminary understanding of his current strength.
He was now confident about what he should do and how far he should go.
Previously, he had chosen to lure the group with the least number of Orcs as a precaution. Later, so long as he did not lure two groups at once, he should be able to defeat an army of two or three hundred Orcs. With this, his chances of obtaining the Light Stone Forging Design should be significantly higher.
"There sure are a lot of dropped items," Shi Feng muttered as he arranged the loot from the Orc Warriors.
He had picked up a total of 6 Silver. That was more than half a day's earnings for an elite player. The Orc Warriors had also dropped plenty of scrap items and materials. In total, he had earned nearly 12 Silver from killing a single batch. If a piece of Level 40 Bronze Equipment dropped, he could instantly earn another 80 Silver or more.
However, this result was only due to Shi Feng's 5 points of Luck. Otherwise, it was impossible for a group of Orc Warriors to drop so much money and so many items.
Following which, Shi Feng continued searching for patrol teams that he could take on while he waited for his Skills to Cooldown. Firestorm, in particular, had a long Cooldown of five minutes.
As soon as the five minutes were up, Shi Feng would immediately lure another wave of monsters.
Shi Feng required less than thirty seconds to take care of a wave of Hot-blooded Orc Warriors. In other words, he could clear one wave every six minutes, and ten waves in an hour.
As the Orcs were Level 47 monsters, they already gave abundant EXP. In addition, as Shi Feng was challenging monsters of a higher level, he could obtain bonus EXP of up to 20 times. Despite Shi Feng's class doubling the amount of EXP he required to level up, in little more than an hour, he reached Level 27. To reach Level 28, he just needed to continue grinding for another hour or so.
Although the amount of EXP he received was indeed frightening, Shi Feng was more excited over the fact that he had obtained two Light Stone Forging Designs.
With two forging designs, he could nurture two gold mines.
Also, when Divine Providence's Cooldown completed, Shi Feng stopped to open Twilight Treasure Chests, acquiring plenty of good items. Among them were some recipes for potions such as the Intermediate Strength Potion, Basic Protection Potion, and Basic Magic Damage Potion. These were all potions that players around Level 40 would commonly use. Only, the recipes for these potions were impossible for current players to obtain.
In addition, Shi Feng had also obtained some Level 30 Secret-Silver and Fine-Gold Equipment, which he intended to use to replenish the Guild's Warehouse.
While Shi Feng enjoyed his grind, Melancholic Smile suddenly contacted him. Through the screen, Shi Feng could tell that, though Melancholic Smile seemed somewhat tensed, there was a hint of pride and excitement in her eyes.
"Guild Leader, just as you predicted, Overwhelming Smile paid us a visit, though I've already chased them away. The other Guilds have also agreed to cooperate with us," Melancholic Smile said slowly. "Also, just as you expected, after we chased them away, they immediately began contacting our Guild's Forgers and Forging Apprentices. Although Uncle Ironheart and Cocoa rejected their offers, many of the Forging Apprentices in the Guild were unable to resist the tempting offers and have already applied to dissolve their contract with us to join Overwhelming Smile.
