177 Selioras Shock (2/2)
“Alright, then. I still have an item that I can temporarily lend to you,” under Seliora’s eager gaze, Shi Feng could not help but smile bitterly. He then took out the Book of Forging.
Suddenly, Seliora’s eyes widened as they locked onto the Book of Forging in Shi Feng’s hands. She was under immense shock, unable to speak a single word.
“This is the Book of Forging personally penned by the Forging God! You… Why do you have this item?!” Seliora was incomparably shocked, and her voice trembled with excitement as she spoke. She could not help but immediately snatch the Book of Forging, delving in.
“Master Seliora, I assume that you also know how precious this item is. I can loan it to you temporarily; so I hope you can use it properly and create a masterpiece,” Shi Feng held high expectations of the Blazing Meteor. So, naturally, he would not hold anything back in its creation. Moreover, NPCs could not steal items owned by players.
“Really?” Seliora could not believe her own ears. She pounced Shi Feng in excitement, planting a kiss on him. She then took the Book of Forging, rushing into her personal forging room. “Wait here for awhile; I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.”
Shi Feng was stunned. However, he recovered very quickly, revealing a bitter smile.
Seliora needed a long time to forge a piece of equipment. Since Shi Feng had nothing better to do, he continued enhancing the luxury version of the White River City Guidebook. After all, he had an expansive amount of information on White River City. Although he had already made plans for its revelation, he couldn’t explain everything in a few sentences.
Time flowed by unnoticed, and two hours had passed since Shi Feng entered White River City.

Meanwhile, the various Guilds in the White River City region were in full swing. They continuously purchased and exchanged Whetstones, and at the same time, desperately grinded in high-level monster areas.
“Snow, the number of players here grows larger and larger, and it is slowing our leveling speed by a lot. Why don’t we go to the Gloomy Valley to level up?” With a single Triple Flame Barrage, Zhao Yueru finished off a low HP Level 10 Shadow Werewolf. She then turned to Gentle Snow and spoke.
Originally, there had not been that many players in this Level 10 area. However, due to Shi Feng’s actions, Level 8 and Level 9 players began arriving, crowding the area. Every region had limited leveling resources, and every extra player in a region decreased the availability of those resources. With a decrease in resources, naturally, leveling speed would similarly fall. Thus, Zhao Yueru suggested going to the Gloomy Valley, which was a monster area of an even higher level.
The Gloomy Valley was a Level 11 to Level 14 monster area. With their current equipment, they could still deal with Level 11 and Level 12 monsters. Only, the danger would increase significantly. However, their leveling speed there would surpass that of this place by leaps. The Gloomy Valley was also only a short distance from their current location. If they hurried, they could reach it in just half an hour. If they used a Speed Scroll, they could arrive there in ten minutes or so.
Gentle Snow looked at her surroundings, discovering that the number of players had certainly increased. Moreover, these players were all elites of various large Guilds. Whether luring or snatching monsters, they were all extremely experienced. As a result, the number of monsters available decreased, and their current leveling speed was less than half of what they started with. The players gathered here were still increasing in number. If this situation continued, they might not even reach Level 10 within seven to eight hours grinding here.
“Alright, then. After we receive the new batch of Whetstones, we’ll head for the Gloomy Valley,” Gentle Snow looked at her weapon’s durability as she spoke. Only 9 points remained. As her weapon was Secret-Silver rank, she could still wield it for over an hour before its durability reached a critical point.
At this moment, Gentle Snow’s communicator rang out.
Originally, Gentle Snow intended to reject the call without giving it much thought. However, when she saw that the caller was Shi Feng, a faint smile appeared on her face.
Previously, after Shi Feng entered White River City, she had tried contacting Shi Feng as well. However, Shi Feng had immediately shut down all forms of communication, leaving her with no way of contacting him. She could only send him a message. Now that he was personally contacting her, it was possible that he had finally seen her message.
