Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

"Let's keep it as it is. Evil is evil."

"Hey, I knew it."

This is an infectious disease that all customers have.

Just like that, without any further disturbance, the Rust Remover handed this newly forged sixth-level blade to Yu Man.

Yu Man didn't play dumb and forget to pay. It wasn't a price she'd have to pay. After sheathing her sword, she simply hooked her index finger at the Rust Remover and, mysteriously, whispered two titles into her ear.

The title of a fierce blade, and also the name of an island.

And, the title held by a master craftsman who has reached the pinnacle.

These two titles and what lies behind them are more than enough to pay for this sword.

Although this is valuable information for the first week of the comic, it is not a loss to bring it out now.

If you use it to build a good relationship with a good craftsman, it is very likely that more plot lines will be opened up.

Finally - there is always a way to reach the "Three Secrets".

Occasionally, players will enlighten NPCs, grant them hidden quests, and open up stories for them.

That's the case now.

"……I got it."

The Rust Remover accepted the reward thoughtfully. As for how to utilize or explore it, that was her business. This was the story that belonged to each individual soul of these inhabitants of the Old World.

Of course, Yu Man wanted more.

Just like those NPCs, they always think that players should pay more.

She tried to ask for more: "Is there anything that a magician like me can use? Look, I'm still using a broken third-level weapon..." Yu Man stared at her eagerly.

"I'm just a blacksmith. I don't know anything about magic tools."

"Well... you have so many clients, you must have some inventory or something, right? Or maybe it's something someone used to pay off a debt... Level 6... No, Level 5 is fine too. I'll buy anything better than mine, okay? It doesn't have to be ice-type either."

"I really don't have one, but if you want to switch to using a sword, I can make one for you."

Hearing the word "sword", Yu Man sighed and had to give up.

In the first week, she always felt that things like wielding swords and spears were possible in reality. Since she had the chance to come to another world, she should manipulate magic, deal with elements, and then shape nature by herself after reaching the peak.

Therefore, until now, she has always adhered to the path of magic.

It’s a pity that there was no magical harvest this time.

Only the fawn got a new weapon...sigh.

Yu Man changed the subject: "I'll come to trade that piece of World Tree root with you after the port of Shimlabakken opens. Tell me about the tenth-tier weapon you're trying to tame... Then, give me some map information. I'll definitely be crazy about you making weapons from now on."

"Opening the port...?"

When the "Rust Remover" heard this word, he couldn't help but smile, and his tone became a little serious.

"Then—good luck to you."

"Rust Remover" did add a corner to Yu Man's map, which is the location of this island.

It was quite far, but that didn't matter; players were free. Yu Manze had already started planning: renovating the port, breaking the ice, building ships, getting a ton of materials, and coming here to place orders with her. He'd instantly dominate the world's high-end weapon trade... and earn tons of gold.

But——Yu Man still doesn’t understand it now.

How vast is the ice sea that stretches across the small winter island?

……

"Ah, you're back?"

"Ah."

The one who raised his hand to welcome Yu Man was Xiaolu.

Unlike other guild members who don't care about their eating manners, this young lady still seems independent of reality.

Yu Man, who was walking towards her from afar and looking at her from far to near, could feel this atmosphere from her.

In reality, she is too beautiful, very different from the ordinary people, and very otherworldly.

She is the same in this world. She does not create characters that are weird or gaudy... but instead avoids vulgarity.

Where on earth does the fawn exist? Yu Man couldn't help but wonder.

But Yu Man's eyes caused confusion: "Why are you looking at me so strangely? Could it be..."

The little deer picked up a leaf and wiped the corners of his mouth. She thought it was stained with some food residue.

There was no way, those wood-fired barbecues were wonderful, even she would be tempted.

"Wait, with that look in your eyes, are you resentful that you didn't get to eat it? Well, I definitely didn't leave any for you." She said.

"...Why?" Yu Man's eyes suddenly became much more normal.

"If you eat too well in your dreams, won't you lose your appetite in real life? I'm trying to make you look forward to your three meals tomorrow..." Xiaolu said half-jokingly, "You can't always indulge in dreams!"

Yu Man pretended to be disappointed: "Then, I won't give you a new sword."

"My question, brother, let's live together in this dream forever. Come, barbecue, come, sword!"

In fact, she had already reserved a share for Yu Man.

……

Apart from getting a new weapon, the little deer kept looking at it and kept saying "upgrading from a musket to a cannon" to the point of ignoring everything else.

Yu Man also brought other rewards - ready to share with everyone.

After all, it is a guild team building, and everyone must benefit from it.

The first thing is - "Brother Ya, look at this hammer..." Yu Man took out the hammer that was said to be haunted.

After confirming the equipment that Yu Manfa had posted in the guild channel—

Yago slapped his thigh, and his gauntlets and leg armor made a loud "bang".

But it couldn't drown out his exclamation: "Fuck, awesome! What's the starting price? It's a main-hand weapon I can use, so powerful..."

"What's the starting bid?"

"Huh? Isn't there a rule for this?" Yago stroked the green beard on his chin. "Aren't these kinds of dungeons all gold-based? So should our guild group use DKP?"

DKP...

Yu Man laughed dryly, and the members around him were also confused.

There's no way around it. This generation of players knows nothing about this, and only middle-aged game enthusiasts like Yago know about it.

——Team dungeons will generate profits, so distributing the profits is a big problem.

Humans used their limited intelligence to implement different systems for distributing spoils of war.

For example, what Yago initially thought was the gold group (GKP).

In other words, treat all loot as auction items.

The person in need bids, and then there is competition, and the highest bidder wins.

All auction proceeds will become team funds.

Then, the total auction amount will be distributed to all participants as "salary" according to their contribution.

Although there are various drawbacks, gold groups are indeed the most widely used system.

In addition, there is the DKP system that Yago just mentioned.

A set of virtual scores will be established based on attendance, effort, and responsibilities.

For example, if you attend an activity, you will be awarded 2 points.

The distribution of spoils will consume DKP points and be auctioned with points, without involving the circulation of gold coins.

Therefore, in theory, it is a fair and just work system, but it cannot keep up with human morality and desires.

It will cause the most trouble, but it can also build the most united and powerful team. It is a system that people love and hate.

But—Yu Man shook her head at Ya Ge.

"Hey, Eel Brother...are you talking about...the demand group?" Yago said the third option.

"Well, this is everyone's first time playing, so let's do this."

Demand group, that is, distribution based on demand, without any other trivial issues.

Give it to whoever can use it, and those who can’t use it will have to wait until the next time it comes out.

As for what kind of system will be established later, that is a matter for Yago and other players to consider, and she doesn't care about it.

But for now, it is just a small activity organized by myself before handing it over to the president.

Just make things fairer, with less friction of coins and points.

"——And these are the blind box rewards. Each one is worth about the same. Let's draw lots. Each person gets one."

Yu Man took out nine bags.

Inside were things she had dug out from the craftsmen's waste pile, and each had its own value.

She put the items into different bags and gave them to everyone as blind boxes to avoid uneven distribution.

"Brother Ya, don't come. You've already got the lion's share." Yu Man drove away Brother Ya who wanted to join in the fun.

"Hey, good luck guys."

Some members knew they had not contributed much and were only there to cheer people up and eat barbecue, so they volunteered to draw last.

Some people also said that if they got something of high value, they would exchange it for someone who could contribute more.

A moral framework was gradually being established within this guild...and there was nothing wrong with that. At least until sufficiently large interests emerged, it would be useful.

In this way, everyone got a share of the spoils, including Yu Man and Xiao Lu.

Yu Man pulled out a piece of scrap iron, which was once a scrap of sixth-grade steel... It could barely be used to make a small ornament.

The little deer got a broken shield - it seemed not to be completely useless.

Some were happy, some sighed, but everyone was contentedly putting their loot into their bags as a dream in the "Old World".

Before players knew it, the game was over and they stopped exploring more about the dungeon.

——It no longer separates players from reality, but writes an epilogue.

"Completed the Artisan's Dungeon: 'The Hammer of Dreams will forge reality and shake off the rust of failure.'"

Battle level calculation, score +-0

Use interesting memories to tame weapons, score +100

Commissioned a craftsman to make weapons, score +99

Touched the sharpness of the "Rusty Axe", score +200

Did not waste the food they served, score +20

Failure to pick up camping trash will result in a -100 environmental rating.

Overall score: 100/100

After reading the settlement one by one, the little deer let out a "tsk".

Points deducted for plot items: "Ah... that tree root... did the craftsman order it from the Chamber of Commerce?"

Yu Man followed suit with a couple of "tsk"s, a mixture of regret, which she should have expected, and surprise, which she hadn't expected. Finally, she concluded with a small "sigh," presumably because her gambling failure had affected her normal rationality... Sigh.

But luckily I got full marks.

In addition, Yu Manpan received another settlement.

"Due to your outstanding contribution and the copy difficulty adjustment, specialization points +51"

"it is good!"

As soon as she exclaimed, Xiaolu also said "Huh": "They only gave me 10 points..."
