Chapter 719: The Counterfeit

(Unedited)

…

Another week has passed and in a busy street of the town, the bustling crowd are all over the place. Many people are going to and fro doing shopping and some are preparing their equipment for their mission and hunts.

In this busy corner of the town, a particular shop has somewhat gathered a large number of audiences. The shop is a blacksmith shop that looks old and its walls made of hard dark wood that looks tattered and old.

But as soon as people enter the blacksmith shop they would always be greeted with a different atmosphere and would cause them to be amazed at the interior of the shop. It's like a different world from what exists in the immortal land.

Since Shin Jiao designed the shop to be a bit futuristic, it became something new in the eyes of the people.

At this time, the shop has already hired around 5 more female peasants and was trained to handle customers and how to explain about the products in the shop.

Everything runs normally and the blacksmith shop is already earning more. In just a week, they have created a little name for themselves in this street corner of the town.

It was another day for the shop when customers began to enter as the blacksmith shop opens. As the people bustle around the shop, one of the customers suddenly barges inside while anger is clearly written all over his face.

Behind him are three town protectors who are escorting the man.

As they enter, Eva Jung immediately steps forward and greeted them.

"How may I help you gentlemen?" she said with a smile.

Upon seeing the man her expression changes and a smile bloomed more fully in her eyes. She is showing that she knew the guy and she is happy to see him again.

But what greeted her is the scowling face of the man.

"How dare your shop sells fake items?" he said and then suddenly threw towards Eva Jung a short sword from his hand.

She was a bit startled but still was able to catch the short sword. Then she carefully checks the item that was handed to her by the guy.

"Sir, could you please follow me… " she said with a courteous smile.

"No… tell me here right now. I don't want other people to be tricked by your lies…" the man shouted.

When he did this, the attention of the people immediately shifted towards him.

"Sir, if you continue saying such words, we will file a complaint in the town's hall. And we will make sure that such slander would not go unpunished." Eva Jung said firmly.

This time her smile is now gone and her expression serious.

"Ha! You… a mere servant would go against me, a level 75 gold armor protector? Hahaha…"

His words made the people inside the shop shake their heads. Everyone immediately didn't want to listen to this guy's ramblings. The three gold armored protectors behind him take a step back as if wanting to distance themselves from the man.

The young man immediately noticed the reaction of the people around him. But he still could not recognize what is happening as a sneer appears on his face.

In fact, he is here because he was approached by one of the young masters from the Mills family. He was paid an equal amount of Osmond Credit for the short sword he bought from the shop.

The young man is one of the hunters that would usually go out of the town to hunt beasts, shadow creatures, or remnant army of the combined race of High Elves and Zith'ra races. In his team, he is the only one who seems to have the weakest strength.

Then he found out that, his teammates bought their new weapons and items from a particular shop in town. And so he decided to visit the town after discovering the unique and amazing effect of the weapons, armors, and items from that shop.

He knew that those things are a bit pricey and more expensive than those produced from the blacksmithing shop or crafting association, but he knew that they are worth it after trying his friend's sword.

And so, he bought a short sword with the effect of hastening his reflexes by two folds making his attacks a bit faster, and with this, his killing rate would double.

But as soon as he happily got out of the blacksmith shop, he was approached by a hooded man.

That hooded man offers him a very lucrative proposition that he could not deny. Plus, if it is successful, he could have another type of blade or the one which is a bit more expensive and has higher stats to boot.

This made the man agree with the proposition and gave the hooded man his new blade.

That night, the hooded man returns the blade to him as they met in an inn. The man then handed him the blade he bought. But this time, he could not feel the effect of that blade.

He immediately knew that it was a counterfeit. But it looks exactly like the one he bought from the shop. Every aspect of the blade was clearly copied in such a short time.

And then the hooded guy explained his plan to the young man who listened to the hooded guy attentively.

The young man patted the credits on his side and he feels excited. He wanted to buy a new weapon with a higher quality of course. And that is his goal for this mess that he is trying to stir.

Suddenly, he saw a young man walking towards him.

"Sir, you are the one claiming that our items are no good, right?" the young man said as he checks the short sword in his hand.

"Haha… Yes, so what? You can clearly see the item. When I tested it here in your shop it was fine. But after I use it outside in just one day, it turned into this… how would you explain this then?" the man raised his voice so that everyone can hear him.

Without another word, Shin Jiao held the short sword in his hand, and then with his other finger, he suddenly produced a small trace of earth and fire elemental Dao law which suddenly combines together.

Seeing his actions, the onlookers were all baffled.

Then suddenly, he gestures at Eva Jung. Eva Jung immediately knew what to do and move to take out a silver ring on a shelf.

She then wore the ring on her finger and Shin Jiao lets the sphere of thumb-sized molten lava landed on the gem of the ring.

Then suddenly, the thumb-size molten lava sphere banished and was absorbed by the ring.

Before everyone's eyes, the ring suddenly glowed and the aura around Eva Jung increased. Everyone saw this astounding scene and they were all dumbfounded.

"This ring can increase one's speed by 10% to 20% at most… but if you do this, the item will have a limit break reaction. For a short time, the item would produce the ability to limit break and increase the skill of the item to 50%... and each of the items in the shop has this feature." Shin Jiao explained with a smile.

Boom!

These words dumbfounded everyone in the hall.

Then Shin Jiao's eyes shifted to the young man, who is now shivering and swallowing his saliva hard. He didn't know that this is possible. But he suddenly wanted to say something, when he suddenly noticed that behind him, a person copied what Shin Jiao just did and the long staff in his hand suddenly glowed.

Everyone in the shop was all amazed. They knew that this limit break function of the items might be the reason for the sky-high price besides the already absurd additional effects of the items.

The young man was flabbergasted, and before he could react, he suddenly saw Shin Jiao touching the short sword in his hand with the same lava sphere. When the lava sphere touched the gem on the short sword, the gem crackled and suddenly broke apart.

"It's fake… I think that guy swap the real one with that fake sword…"

"What a fool. Does he think a craftsman doesn't have their secret ways to identify the stuff they made?"

"Well, some does not have, in fact, most of the craftsman in the town doesn't have that signature in their crafted items. Only those from the craftsman association and special crafting seniors could do that."

"He just stirs up trouble for himself… what a fool."

The people began to discuss, and the three protectors knew that they are being used by this man who tried to fool them. The three immediately glared at the young man.

"You,.. follow us. We have to investigate this matter." The leading protector said with a serious look on his face while grabbing the young man's shoulder.

"No… this… this is just a misunderstanding…" the young man wanted to say something and tried to explain, but the people around him just sneers at him.

They came here because they have discovered that this shop really sold quality items and unique. The shop does not trample other blacksmith shops because its price and target customers are different. And this also made the other blacksmith shops in the area don't mind their presence as they are not their competitor in the business.

As the local blacksmith shops target the middle to lower class fighters, the Mystique blacksmith shop did not invade their market niche. Although they are a bit jealous of the income of the shop, yet they could not deny the quality is really above theirs.

With the support of their patrons and the other shops, in just one week the Mystique blacksmith shop has developed a name for itself.

When the young man was about to be taken by the protectors, a figure strutted inside the shop.

Behind that figure stood three more people with a level equal to a peak gold armored protector.

"Haha… What a nice show… very entertaining, but it still does not explain, why this young fellow here receives a fake item…" Grim Mills said with a sneer on his face.

The people inside the shop immediately knew that trouble is brewing. Those who do not have power and ability immediately walks out of the shop.

However, there are those who stayed to watch this interesting scene. One of the people that decided to stay is a young man wearing a green hoodie.

"This young master from the Mills family is courting his own death…" the young man muttered with a smile on his handsome face.
