Tool Exchange

"Dear craftsmen friends, this booth offers a beginner tool exchange. 10 Level 1 ores and 10 Level 1 wood can be exchanged for any beginner production tool!"

As soon as Chen Mo's small booth appeared, it immediately attracted many curious craftsmen to come and watch. However, these craftsmen did not take Chen Mo's offer of this beginner tool exchange seriously.

"I'm dizzy, is he joking? 10 Level 1 ores and 10 Level 1 wood are worth at most one silver coin, while a beginner production tool on the market in Baili Town costs 10 silver coins. Isn't he just fooling around with us?"

"I bet that this unknown newcomer craftsman must be deceiving us, he must be a cheat. Otherwise, how could he get new beginner production tools to exchange with us?"

"Don't tell me he makes them himself. Damn, not to mention that the basic materials for making a beginner production tool require 5 Level 1 ores and 5 Level 1 wood, just the beginner tool production blueprint alone on the market is already priced by the Baili Chamber of Commerce at 12 silver coins per piece. Unless he's crazy, he definitely can't do it!"

At this point, Chen Mo also didn't argue with these craftsmen. Indeed, in the Newbie Village of the 13th District of Baili Town, due to the monopoly of the Baili Chamber of Commerce, a beginner production tool, whether purchased directly or made by oneself, would incur huge losses. But for Chen Mo, it wasn't like that.

Chen Mo's "Heavenly Artisans Handbook" level 1 already has five divine functions, and the second one is full transparency of all item production formulas for all professions under level 20. Moreover, all production blueprints are exempted when making these items. This means that for Chen Mo, the materials needed to make a beginner production tool without a blueprint are just 5 Level 1 ores and 5 Level 1 wood.

And his exchange condition requires 10 Level 1 ores and 10 Level 1 wood, which is enough for him to make 2 beginner production tools!

At the same time, for an ordinary craftsman, if 20 Level 1 materials can be exchanged for a beginner production tool, then at their normal 40% or so collection success rate, they can collect about 40 materials with such a beginner production tool. Moreover, there will be some more valuable Level 2 materials among these materials, so with this price-range beginner production tool, these newbie craftsmen can receive the rightful rewards for their labor.

However, even so, perhaps because Chen Mo's exchange condition was too tempting, it made all the craftsmen who came to watch him think that he was either a cheat or a madman. no one was willing to exchange with him. All the craftsmen who came here just watched after seeing it, all unconsciously sneering. Who would fall for such an obviously impossible thing, even just 10 Level 1 ores and 10 Level 1 wood?

"Hey, this friend named 'Unknown', it's not that I'm talking about you, but do you know why these craftsmen don't believe you even though you've given this exchange condition?" Bai Li Chamber of Commerce's 7th partner looked at Chen Mo and couldn't help but be full of pride when he saw that no one even paid attention to Chen Mo's small booth.

"It's because you're not from our Bai Li Chamber of Commerce, you have no right to speak in our 13th District of Baili Town. Who would believe that a newcomer craftsman like you can come up with such cheap beginner production tools? Haha, aren't you just telling people that you're a cheat! Hey, are you just planning to cheat them with a few small Level 1 ores and wood? I'm telling you, you can't keep doing this for long. And once someone reports you, you'll end up in the official prison, why bother!"

While Bai Li Chamber of Commerce's 7th partner was sarcastic about Chen Mo, Chen Mo didn't care and continued to set up his booth.

Meanwhile, the seventh member of the Baili Chamber secretly whispered to another member, "Go report to the Baili town officials and ask them to send two guards. As long as this anonymous guy takes someone else's materials and can't produce new tools, they can immediately arrest him and put him in jail for ten or fifteen days. Let's see if he dares to mess with our Baili Chamber in the future!"

"Exactly, in our Baili town, does he not know who is in charge?"

Indeed, for the current Chen Mo, 10 level 1 ore and 10 level 1 wood were his most urgent needs. Although the total value of these materials was only about one silver coin, their value had already been controlled by the Baili Chamber in Baili town. He could not buy these materials with his one silver coin. Therefore, he had to obtain these meager materials by setting up a booth.

As long as he had these materials, he could make two new beginner production tools. He would give one as a reward to the other person and keep one for his own use. With this, he could gather materials, make tools, and continue gathering, continuing production. In this way, he, as a beginner craftsman, could live in Baili town without relying on the Baili Chamber.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, Chen Mo successfully crafted his beginner production tools.

"Wait a minute, brother. Your name is Kong Sanqi, right? These are the regular stone hoe and stone axe you redeemed. Please take them, thank you for your trust!"

"Ah, it's really a regular stone hoe and a regular axe!" Kong Sanqi couldn't believe it as he held the tools.

"Thanks, brother Kong Sanqi. We'll meet again, don't worry, I'll remember you!"

"Wow, he really gave it to us!" At this point, a group of novice craftsmen gathered around again. "Nameless, we want to exchange too!"

For this group of novice craftsmen who had no freedom, a beginner production tool was of great significance!

"Where did Nameless get his beginner production tools from? Wasn't he supposed to buy them from our trading company just now? Is he joking with us?"

The seventh member of the Bai Li Trading Company stopped the ongoing transaction, looking incredulous with a strange expression on his face as he looked at Chen Mo.

At this point, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile enigmatically in response to everyone. He also put the remaining regular stone hoe and axe into his backpack.

With these two beginner production tools, Chen Mo could finally show his skills. Thinking of this, he decisively closed his stall and headed straight to the novice public mine in the Bai Li town of District Thirteen.

However, the prerequisite was that a craftsman must appear and trust him, willing to exchange with him. At this moment, Chen Mo had secretly decided in his heart that no matter who it was, as long as a craftsman was willing to help him with such a small favor, he would definitely repay that craftsman well. At the same time, even though Chen Mo was only a newbie craftsman, judging from the five blessings of the bound "Heavenly Work Handbook," he was fully qualified to repay others in the future.

Just then, a junior craftsman named Kong Sanqi happened to be at Chen Mo's booth. At the junior craftsman level, Kong Sanqi was already considered a "financially independent" miner who could be a little free from the control of the Baili Chamber. Although he still had to accept the expensive new production tools from the Baili Chamber, because they mined higher level ores and more ore, they could barely survive!

"10 level 1 ores plus 10 level 1 woods can exchange for a new beginner production tool. Can this be true? I want one stone pick and one stone axe! "

Saying that, Kong Sanqi handed over 20 level 1 ores and 20 level 1 woods to Chen Mo's hands without hesitation.

"Wow, look, there are really so many fools these days, who are willing to be fooled!"

"No way, he is still a junior craftsman, did he dig too much and become stupid? He can't even see through such an obvious trap?"

At this time, Chen Mo couldn't help but look up at Kong Sanqi. From Kong Sanqi's eyes, he couldn't see any doubt or worry. On the contrary, he could only see the eager eyes of Kong Sanqi after giving him these basic materials. At the same time, Chen Mo immediately opened the portable production space function of his bound level 1 "Heavenly Work Handbook" and started making new beginner production tools.

In "The Second World," if other newbie craftsmen wanted to make items, they not only had to go to the fixed newbies village production room, but also had to pay a certain fee. But with the "Heavenly Work Handbook", Chen Mo did not only save time and money, but more importantly, he could start making items anytime, anywhere. This was a huge impact on a craftsman, and it was also the most practical function of the "Heavenly Work Handbook"!

Newbie production tools require 5 level 1 ores, 5 level 1 woods, and a new tool production drawing. The success rate is 80%. Under the influence of the five blessings of Chen Mo's level 1 "Heavenly Work Handbook," all production drawings were exempted, and the success rate was increased to 100%!

A few minutes later, when Chen Mo was still standing still, the other craftsmen who were watching were even more smug, secretly celebrating their "correct" decision, and could not help but despise Kong Sanqi's "stupidity." Even Kong Sanqi's face showed a small disappointment.

"Well, forget it, this fellow, as the saying goes, it's convenient to help others and yourself. Take these level 1 materials as a gift from me. I don't want the new beginner production tool. Don't do this kind of thing in the future, hehe, in our Thirteen District, this is a jungle where the strong prey on the weak. If each of us can contribute a little love, I believe that in the future, this will be a world full of sunshine!"

After speaking, Kong Sanqi turned and left.
