Chapter 7: For the Supreme Two Bans
Ossama said: "Indeed, this is merely the raw material. After meticulous crafting by master jewelers, careful enchanting by master enchanters, and the embedding by master blacksmiths, the final equipment produced is extraordinary. After so many processes, its value multiplies by more than a hundred times!"
This shabby ring requires advanced jewelry processing skills. The transition from intermediate to advanced is not as simple as moving from beginner to intermediate, where one can casually purchase some cheap copper or iron ore and just hammer away. The materials involved at the intermediate level and beyond include precious ores such as silver and gold, which are not only expensive but also scarce in the market. This means that using mining skills to advance to high-level skills is completely unfeasible. One can only progress step by step, crafting various worthless rings and cutting various worthless gemstones to gradually increase proficiency.

Dali immediately exited the game and opened the game website forum
Boss, I want to reach advanced skills as quickly as possible, so I can learn and benefit sooner
It turned out to be spam. Professional gamers despise spam the most, especially since Dali had just been mercilessly criticized on the forum and was feeling quite down. He replied, "I made a typo; it should be how to advance from beginner to intermediate."
Ossama smiled and said, "Then please review this contract carefully, and if there are no objections, just sign it."
Once online again, Dali went to various main cities' large auction houses to post long-term material procurement tasks. The purchase price was only one-tenth of that in Osama's black market. Nevertheless, Dali believed that for players facing widespread poverty due to accelerated leveling, this would still be a decent income. He submitted a procurement fund of 1,000 gold coins, along with a 10% credit deposit of 100 gold coins. He kept 400 gold coins on hand to cover various daily expenses.
With great determination, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will borrow it!"
Dali couldn't hold back any longer: "Why has the interest doubled again? This isn't how it's supposed to be!"
Dali was astonished: "The value has increased by hundreds of times? Then why did I give you so much, only to receive a reward that doesn't even amount to a single gold coin?"
After returning from his shower, Dali discovered that the number of replies to his post had reached hundreds. Wow! Incredible! In his lifetime, Dali had hardly any posts that received more than 10 replies. Excited, he clicked in to take a look, and to his surprise!
Osama said solemnly: "Yes, but you can only borrow 1,000. You must return 20,000 to me after one year. Including the 1,000 I lent you this morning, that means you must return 30,000 to me after one year."
In fact, jewelry products that possess attributes and can be considered as equipment fall within the realm of advanced craftsmen's capabilities. Therefore, it can be said that jewelry, in its early to mid-stages, is essentially a money-burning machine
The sands of time wash away! Suddenly, Dali jolted and finally remembered who he was—the president of the Wuhai Chamber of Commerce Alliance several years later! The future God of Wealth, no, he is the God of Wealth right now! This kid comes from a very wealthy family and has founded and united more than a dozen gold farming studios, each with over a thousand employees. Perhaps the small studio Dali worked for in his previous life is one of his subsidiaries. He is known as the money printer in the game, and even the game companies have to actively negotiate with him on "exchange rates" and other "financial" issues to stabilize prices.
Osama smiled and said, "If there is anything you do not understand, feel free to ask me"
Are all these posts lacking substance? Dali himself posted a help thread titled "Seeking Expert Guidance on the Shortcut from Intermediate to Advanced in Jewelry," and thinking about the various mishaps in the game due to not taking a shower, Dali decided to take a shower first.
Your store seems to have everything from books to various items, but upon seeing the prices, Dali's face turned pale. Upgrading from basic to intermediate requires 500 gold coins, which is already a burden that ordinary players in the early to mid-game cannot bear. And what about upgrading from intermediate to advanced? Dali could hardly imagine it. Most importantly, Dali had never studied jewelry before and was not interested in it; the strategy only involved upgrading jewelry to intermediate level. So how can one upgrade from intermediate to advanced in the most efficient and cost-effective way?
Osama squinted his eyes and smiled, saying, "Oh? How can I assist you?"
Why don't jewelry processing trainers teach me jewelry skills
Dali exclaimed, "Is there really such a saying?"
Upon entering the game, I noticed the information bar flashing, with messages from strangers. "A great wave washes away the sand"? It seems I've heard that somewhere before. Connecting.
As soon as Dali agreed, he immediately thought of a serious problem
Forget it, missing it is missing it. This harsh reality sifts through people like a great wave, and with Dali's unambitious character, it would be extremely difficult for him to get along with others. I just didn't expect that this big shot would also have such trivial moments, personally coming to confirm whether the other party is foolish. For any potentially valuable information, he would rather kill the wrong person than let one slip away. His success is not without reason.
System prompt: Your message could not be sent, possibly because the other party has blocked you or is not in the same service area
With deep gratitude and tears, he said: "Thank you, boss, for your cultivation. I will certainly live up to your high expectations!"
Ossama patted Dali on the shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, you have worked hard on your skills today. Be sure to pay attention to your rest. In jewelry processing, especially in the crafting of high-end accessories, it is crucial not to work while fatigued, as this can easily lead to failure. Conversely, when you are full of energy, there is a certain chance of creating works that surpass the attributes of the formula"
How could such a prominent figure possibly have any intersection with a small character like Dali? Therefore, upon first seeing his name, I felt a sense of unfamiliarity. What are we waiting for now? We should immediately get close to this esteemed gentleman!
Osama gazed at the departing figure of Dali and murmured: "Kid, you are not worthy of her now. I can only bring you to this point. If you do not succeed, then you shall perish..."
It turns out that NPCs have such high emotional intelligence! It truly makes the experience of crossing over worthwhile
Osama changed his tone: "However, given such substantial profits, considering our personal friendship, it would not be excessive for me to offer you 2,000 gold coins as a procurement reward! But due to the constraints of the rules, I cannot give it to you; at most, I can lend it to you. Now do you understand? Others ask me to lend, and I still refuse them."
Now, Dali opens the crafting list for jewelry skills, focusing intently on researching the materials for various recipes, striving to select the cheapest leveling route. Looking left and right, these materials are certainly not inexpensive. The remaining 500 gold is undoubtedly insufficient, and worse still, the rings produced are all attribute-less ornaments, offering no benefits whatsoever.
Alright. Dali has gone out to find a hotel and is offline
Thank you for your care, boss... um? Suddenly, Dali remembered something and asked, "Boss, I have a question. While others are struggling to earn a few dozen silver coins, why am I able to gain your favor and borrow 2,000 gold coins?"
What is this? The jewelry of beauty and the seal of nobility, all come from the depths of the sand. Alas, they are merely NPCs, bound to act according to their programming, no wonder they behave this way
Please add QQ53511XXXX, and we can discuss in detail
Dali immediately replied to him: "Hello, are you still there?"
Osama coldly remarked: "This is not how it should be played. Others are struggling hard for dozens of silver coins, while you suddenly have 20,000 gold coins. Is that reasonable?"
The other party simply responded with "Oh" and then there was no further discussion
Dear brother, please guide me on the shortcuts from beginner to intermediate level
After signing, Dali experienced a strong sense of exhaustion and weakness
... ...
May I ask, are you the one who posted about how to advance from intermediate to advanced in jewelry on the forum?
Osama said solemnly: "Listen carefully, this is the last time I will lend you money, you must make good use of it"
I am engaged in jewelry trading and am seeking long-term cooperation with mining brothers. Please come forward sincerely
Ossama chuckled, "Do you know how precious the pearl corals of Echo Island and Red Coast are?"
Osama said: "I generally do not inform ordinary people; I would rather they fail more so that they buy more materials from me. Go rest now"
Dewdrops wet the sandy wall, as dusk quietly whispers in solitude
Ah! Not online? Dali is at a loss for words.
Ossama smiled and said: "Leveling up advanced skills may take a considerable amount of time, but you need not worry about the gem materials required. Although this shop is small, it indeed has everything you need. However, for some metal materials, you will have to find a way on your own."
With a forceful slap to the forehead, I completely forgot that I had crossed over! It has only been a month since the server opened, and it will take at least a year for the jewelry to take shape. Who has the qualifications to guide me now? This is simply a disgrace to the identity of a time traveler. I shouldn't have posted this thread. Sigh, having been accustomed to being a leech in my previous life, I will delete this post. I will re-enter the game.
... ...
Dear wife, come and see the Lord
Although Dali's game character has logged off to rest, he himself has not taken a break. He has taken screenshots of various jewelry recipes from the jewelry skill list and is meticulously planning the leveling materials list offline
Where is the jewelry processing trainer in Goldshire
Dali began to calculate with great entanglement, because the Supreme Two Rings can only be exchanged for one per day on hetushucom.com. Of course, the sooner one graduates, the better the skills. But now he has directly doubled the interest, so how much profit is left for graduating early? Is it still worth borrowing this money? Not worth it! No, wait! How can the value of the initial capital, filled with infinite creative possibilities, be calculated like this? I was foolish, and besides, the first one to reach the advanced skill system will be rewarded with an A-level mercenary contract! How can the value of the initial capital, filled with infinite creative possibilities, be calculated like this? I was foolish, and besides, the first one to reach the advanced skill system will be rewarded with an A-level mercenary contract! That book can be sold for a lot of money! I refuse to believe that at this stage, anyone can surpass me, who possesses 2000 gold coins, in reaching the advanced level! Yes, for the sake of being the first!
The materials for intermediate skills are quite expensive, and purchasing them directly from Osama's shop would be a significant loss. With only 1,500 gold coins, it is impossible to reach the advanced level. Therefore, Dali decided to acquire them at a lower price from the player market, considering buying from his shop only for materials that players truly cannot obtain. Some bosses drop the materials needed for intermediate jewelry, as do minor monsters, and they can also be found in outdoor treasure chests or mined by intermediate miners. However, given that the current player levels are generally in the low 20s to just under 30, these materials are still considered quite high-end. Although Dali does not hold out much hope, he decided to first test the market conditions, aiming to save money wherever possible.
The deployment of two regiments of regular troops for guarding clearly indicates that the value is significant
With gritted teeth, he said: "Boss, could you lend me a few thousand gold coins again!" The failure to upgrade the rocket has made it increasingly difficult to repay debts through his own efforts, leaving him with no choice but to continue borrowing money. As the saying goes, having more debts does not weigh one down; as long as he possesses the Supreme Second Ring, the debts are nothing to fear
Osama solemnly stated: "It is due to the rules that I must act according to the regulations and dare not overstep them"
Isn't it just a lack of money? Dali turned his gaze towards Osama. Since it has been borrowed for the first time, there will surely be a second time, right
