Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When he walked into the shop, Mike was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.

He saw that there were several players in the shop picking out equipment, and there were also some NPC shop assistants in uniform who were working!.

It seemed that business was very good!

When Mike saw this scene, he was very surprised. After all, this shop had only been handed over to Little Fat Tom for a few days. How could it be so quickly well-managed?

He took a few steps forward and found an NPC shop assistant, “Is Hammer Whack-a-mole here?”

The shop assistant glanced at Mike and said, “Second boss is working upstairs.”

“Second boss?” Mike was stunned again.

“Second boss said that our shop has a big boss, but the big boss is very busy and won’t come to the shop most of the time.”

When Mike heard this, he nodded and went upstairs directly. Seeing this scene, no staff stopped him. After all, there was a seemingly wealthy adventurer who had gone upstairs to talk business with the second boss.

No one thought that the adventurer in front of them was actually the big boss they had never seen before.

Mike slowly walked up the steps. When he reached the second floor, he could clearly feel that the temperature had become much hotter.

The sound of hammers hitting the materials was incessant. Little Fat Tom was currently forging the equipment. He was currently half-naked and focused on the equipment in front of him. He did not notice Mike’s arrival at all.

Seeing this scene, Mike chose not to disturb him. Instead, he allowed him to focus on forging the equipment.

Although the players’ forging methods could be very simple and crude, for example, Mike would just throw the materials into the furnace and do nothing. However, the lifestyle players who truly learned the blacksmith craft would not be as such. Using skills to forge and using the player’s own game system to forge were two completely different concepts.

If one used skills, the attributes of the forged equipment would be much better than directly throwing them into the furnace. Occasionally, there would even be equipment that could directly improve the quality of the forged equipment.

Little Fat Tom had been busy working at the furnace, while Mike stood at the entrance of the stairs and watched quietly.

Stone and Egg knew that Mike did not want to disturb Tom, so they all quietly stayed by Mike’s side and did not make any noise.

Finally, after the hammer struck the material one last time, Tom completed the forging.

He put the red-hot equipment into the cold water to cool the equipment down.

With a sharp sound, a stream of mist rose up in the room. Then, a piece of equipment was successfully forged.

Tom looked at the equipment in front of him and smiled with relief. He used a cloth to carefully dry the water droplets on the equipment, and then gently put it into a box on the side.

At this time, there were many more boxes in the warehouse on the second floor, and almost every box was filled with equipment.

After storing the equipment, Tom wiped the sweat off his forehead, and immediately took out another set of forging materials from another box, ready for the next forging.

Seeing this scene, Mike finally said, “Brother, take a break.”

Hearing this, Little Fat Tom was slightly stunned at first, then turned his head. When he saw Mike’s face, he immediately smiled, put down the materials in his hands, and walked to Mike.

“You’ve been really busy these days haven’t you! After becoming Sarco City’s Lord, you never attended to the business in the shop anymore,” teased Tom.

Mike laughed and patted Tom’s shoulder, “Brother, you don’t have to work so hard. The shop should be replenishing its supply every day. There’s only that much equipment that could be sold in a day. You should have a good rest and focus on being the boss.”

However, Tom shook his head and said, “I have nothing to do. I don’t want to fight monsters and do quests to level up now. It’s good to improve my forging skills. At the very least, it’s a skill.”

Mike did not deny Tom’s idea. Everyone was entitled to their own opinions. Moreover, there were many people like Tom in the second world.

They were not like Mike, who knew what would happen in thirty years. For them, mastering a life skill in the second world was a good choice.

At this moment, Tom suddenly said, “Oh right, brother, the store has been doing pretty well recently. You profited a lot this time. I’ll give it to you now.”

At that time, Mike had agreed that both of them would take half of the money. Although Tom felt that Mike should take more shares, Mike insisted that they split it equally.

Now that Mike was back, Tom naturally wanted to give the money to Mike immediately.

However, Mike waved his hand and said, “Don’t give it to me this time. I’ll use this money to exchange for some of the equipment in our shop. I’m looking for some quality equipment.”

When Tom heard this, he frowned.

“What do you mean? Everything in this shop is yours. You can take as much equipment as you want! 

“Besides, although I don’t know where you got so many pieces of equipment, the equipment in the warehouse increases by a lot every day. If you don’t accept the profits you earned, at least take whatever you want from the shop, on the house.”

Hearing this, Mike opened his mouth but could not find anything to refute what was just said. After a moment of silence, he said with a smile, “Alright, but you don’t have to give me my share for the time being. I’ll leave it with you for now. I see that the business is going well. Perhaps we’ll be expanding soon, and we’ll need a lot of money when that time comes.”

Tom wanted to refute, but Mike interrupted him again, “Alright, you don’t have to persuade me to keep it at all. After all, expanding the shop will allow me to earn more money. This would also be beneficial to me.”

Tom looked at Mike’s serious expression and did not insist anymore.

He just silently remembered the honorable act Mike had just done in his heart.

“The highest quality equipment is in that box. Take as much as you need.”

Tom pointed at the most exquisite box in the room. Mike did not say anything but turned to look at Egg.

Egg felt Mike’s intention and immediately pounced over happily. It opened its mouth and aimed at the box. Then, the equipment in the box flew into Egg’s mouth like dust encountering a vacuum cleaner.

Only then did Tom notice the existence of Egg.

He widened his eyes and said, “This guy… could he be a baby dragon?!”

“That’s right, his name is Egg.”

“…? Why would a dragon be named Egg?’ Tom silently questioned in his mind.

Looking at the little dragon in front of him continuously inhaling the equipment, Tom swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

If it was an NPC who saw this scene, they would definitely feel heartache. However, it was different for adventurers.

Tom was very clear that this was definitely a way to nurture this dragon.. If he could nurture this dragon, then no matter how much money he spent, it would be worth it!
