At this time, in the forum, the big shots are all discussing experience books.

The gameplay is quite interesting.

Even Shao Chaikun, Food God, Immortal Aunt, and Su Yuniang showed up to speak, each discussing their own points.

You can imagine experience books will become a huge consumer for the manor in the future, a bottomless money pit.

Moreover, they can't make experience books themselves yet.

Because the villagers they catch are too low level, and the high-level villagers won't let themselves be caught by them at all.

Someone complained:

"Developers, let those big families release their ancestors' Muddy Qi, so we can catch them."

"Catching those low-level babies all day is boring."

"Exactly, open up the gameplay, it seems super fun, like a pet-catching game with pocket monsters."

"Yeah, yeah, all the various career experience books flying in the world, capturing them feels like 'too cool to handle'.

"Wuwuwu! I want to catch Elder Zhang!"

"Elder Zhang won't rest in peace.jpg"

...

A meme image was sent directly, in the picture, Elder Zhang lay lifeless on the snowy ground of the bonfire, looking at the sky with unfocused eyes, surrounded by a bunch of blacksmiths pointing and gesturing.

"The big shot is impressive, made this image so fast, I'm stealing it."

"It's already mine."

...

Ning Zheng quietly followed the crowd and also snatched the meme.

Ning Zheng also complained to himself:

I also want them to release the ancestors, so you guys can catch those world-flying villagers.

But they won't listen to me as a 'developer', if I dared to suggest releasing their ancestors, they might even beat me to death.

No matter what, since experience books are monopolized, they can only obediently pay up.

However, in a business game, this group of capitalist blacksmiths finds others earning their money more unbearable than eating the meat field under the dormitory.

But for now, nobody has thought of a solution.

After all, experience books need to be bought.

Yet, as a group of scheming keyboard Analysis Emperors, they crazily speculated the follow-up plot, even analyzing the stages of experience books.

1, A stage of massive purchase of experience books.

In this period, blacksmiths, spirit farmers, alchemists, are too weak, haven't completed the rudimentary accumulation of techniques and can only rely on experience books for rapid growth.

2, Beginning of the career mentor stage.

At this time professions like blacksmiths, start having a few little experts of their own.

These few experts can change careers, plant Shade-loving Grass, Middle Grade Yin Spirit Root, starting the career mentor industry.

They call this spiritual root, the 'mentor' spiritual root.

Using implanted memories, to increase experience for blacksmiths.

This side effect is no weaker than Divine Summoning, but is clearly a more economical model, stronger than selling experience books and earning money for outsiders.

And at this stage, the manor would have passed the accumulation phase, with many skill guilds appearing in the manor.

Like in some online games, providing entry for blacksmiths to learn skills.

Moreover, they would categorize skills, even label skills with skill icons, standardizing career knowledge.

"At this time, we don't need to buy outside experience books, because we have opened our own path."

"We can no longer take cues from others, because we are treading an unprecedented path."

"Entering this stage, career mentors appear, and the game updates with [skill learning]."

"We are gradually improving into the form we want, kinda cool ^_^."

"You say, those top-tier professionals like Daojiu, Mudworker, Medical Fairy, all being mentors for [life skill learning], in the future, they might as well be mentors for [combat skill learning] too, right?"

"Honestly, it's really possible!"

"Indeed, passing on cultivation experiences of the Five-Body Realm, doesn't that mean we're like great powers rebuilding cultivation, learning super fast?"

"No, aren't [Archery Mastery], [Swordsmanship Mastery], [Blade Mastery] skills as well?"

"According to what you guys say, even combat skills can be learned, perhaps in the future, we might even create a magic path spiritual root enhancing cultivation through killing monsters, entering a level-up mode."

"Damn, is turning a business game into a combat upgrade game possible?"

"Everything is possible, isn't it? I already understood this game before, the gameplay is free, limitless possibilities."

"That killing for level-up spiritual root, probably would have to be Celestial Spirit Root, at least Upper Grade Spiritual Root? Hope that group of spirit farmers begins researching this killing spiritual root now, do it right, don't force me to kneel and beg you."

The more they argued, the more off-topic it got, their imaginations running wild to the skies.

Mudworker also made an appearance to speak: "A bunch of lunatics, we spirit farmers just recently rose up, we haven't gotten that far, dream on!"

Immortal Aunt: "My suggestion is for you spirit farmers to start using experience books too."

Mudworker: "Yeah, planning to use them tomorrow, today there was a lab rat Daojiu experimenting, he almost crashed it, this time we need to be prepared."

Shrimp Catcher: "Shao Chaikun, tomorrow you should come to our place, if the truth about our manor is discovered, be ready to tell the stories of the mountain, the stories beneath the mountain."

Shao Chaikun: "Hehehe, finally realized how awesome Green Tea Kun is? Pay up! I'm going to charge a hefty performance fee, and I'll bring some of the canteen's Corpse-Colored Mushrooms to spike the drink, making them dizzy and easier to deceive."

What a beast.

Everyone watched these people heading farther down the shameless path, discussing scams with a group of depraved mentors, leaving them speechless.

Especially Shao Chaikun, you've already forged your own career path.

You can imagine, those faint souls being summoned, the townsfolk, all getting dizzy by their scams.

Medical Fairy: "By the way, yesterday, how could you cry just like that?"

Shao Chaikun: "I used a spicy eye-watering plant like garlic, hidden in my sleeve."

Medical Fairy: "That's wasting food, I suggest modifying your bladder so that bittersweet tears flow from the corners of your eyes \(^o^)/~"

Shao Chaikun: "Ahhhh! You've got a problem, you're maliciously retaliating, disgustingly [○･｀Д´･○]"

Medical Fairy: "Don't say that, in the future, if Shao Chaikun gets diabetes, you can use sweet tears to wake the other person up."

Shao Chaikun: "Ew~"

...

Everyone burst out laughing at this scene.

The manor's style is unique; it has to be you, Medical Fairy.

Recently, Medical Fairy and Shao Chaikun have been going at it, arguing and backstabbing each other, which is quite a sight.

Though they tease each other, they actually have high expectations inside.

It's said recently that Daojiu from the blacksmith shop and Medical Fairy from the clinic are planning to gather people and funds to open a store, a clinic, in Xinyi State City.

If the clinic opens, will the customers take the bait, will they fall for the tricks?

If the city is full of those with bladder issues, that would be an interesting sight.

...

The next day.

Daojiu woke up feeling dizzy, lying in his dorm for half the day before recollecting the skills and experiences he had received.

It was pretty fragmented and chaotic.

But it's understandable, being a faint soul, with incomplete memories.

If it was really that complete, he wouldn't have been fooled by that group of beasts' acting last night.

"So dizzy, so uncomfortable."

Daojiu lay on the bed, like having a high fever, recovering until noon, before slowly getting up and wobbling outside.

This experience book really packs a punch.

"How's the situation?" Jiucai Rong curiously asked, "Is the game that realistic?"

"Yeah, it filled in a lot of foundations," Daojiu pondered, "when smithing, it feels much more tactile."

"Ha."

Jiucai Rong sneered:

"How could it not be tactile, this inherited some of the smithing experience, this is a skill of millennia-old hands, five thousand magic coins, if you don't learn something, that'd really be a waste."

"But the gains aren't huge." Daojiu shook his head, "The basics are there, but many techniques differ from ours, we still need to develop."

"Work hard on it." Jiucai Rong nodded in agreement.

Our manor's path, indeed needs to be explored by ourselves.

As for inheriting the fragmented memory of traditional blacksmiths, to follow the traditional smithing path? Using demon beast materials to forge?

Our manor hasn't considered it at all.

The traditional path is too competitive, filled with giants, no place for us, we have to find a new way.

They're thinking of blazing their own trail, preparing to present their case in the capital, competing with divine craftsmen, delivering story-breaking scenes.

Before leaving, Jiucai Rong suddenly suggested: "Why not, try another Middle Grade experience book? This should deepen your foundation, just take a loan, it's fine."

Daojiu pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Let me digest first."

Jiucai Rong left regretfully.

Later that afternoon, a few others couldn't resist trying Low Level experience books, and the manor happily welcomed several "new guests."

But having experience, they managed to hide their Water Army identities without exposing themselves.

Successfully got recognized by the others.

Now, the manor's Blood Separation Flower and Soul Separation Flower, two main Spiritual Roots are being cultivated, having obtained a batch of Spirit Plant Liquid from the Shi Family, it's barely sufficient recently.

The blacksmith's technology also welcomed innovation.

Everything is prospering and developing.

But all this is based on Ning Zheng's mad spending of coins, and it's sad to say that he now has less than a million magic coins left in his hands.

And as for Daojiu, he's initially become a Middle Grade blacksmith.

He now needs to start forging Middle Grade Magical Artifacts to practice.

With the cost of a few hundred magic coins per Middle Grade Spiritual Root, practicing like this, a Middle Grade blacksmith has entered the massive money-burning stage.

Cultivating a High Tier profession truly requires the effort of the entire family, nurturing it.
