In the Central Square of Sarco City, Mike looked at one of the equipment shops that had a decent location and nodded in satisfaction.

"This shop is not bad, right? It's just around the corner.

"Customers from the Central Square and King's Avenue can come here."

Tom looked at the two-story-tall shop in front of him and nodded continuously.

If a shop of this scale was placed in the main city of the big region, it would be worth at least tens of millions of federation coins!

Moreover, it was a good item that could not be bought even if one wanted to.

If one were to do business in such a shop, even an idiot would be able to earn a lot of money!

"Since we already have a shop, what about the equipment?" Tom asked curiously.

Mike thought for a moment and replied, "It should be arriving soon."

Before he came, Mike had already contacted the clone with his mind.

Although it was called contacting, it was actually a one-sided order.

The content of the order was very simple. Bring all the equipment that was stored in the warehouse of the City of Light to Sarco City.

Over the past few days, the clone had accumulated a lot of equipment. It was definitely enough to temporarily fill the shelves of the shop.

Soon, Mike's clone rushed over.

However, because the clone was transparent, no one else could see it.

Mike smiled and gave an order to the clone in his heart.

"Put all the equipment in the warehouse of this shop."

The clone that received the order immediately walked into the shop.

Mike turned to look at Tom and smiled.

"Brother, the equipment is here. Let's go in and take a look."

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go in and take a look," Stone replied happily.

Tom looked around in confusion.

'Did someone deliver the goods just now?

'I didn't see it at all.'

However, when he saw Mike walking into the shop alone, Tom had no choice but to follow him in.

The two of them walked to the warehouse on the second floor.

Mike smiled as he walked to a big box and opened it.

Then, Tom froze on the spot.

There was actually a box full of equipment, and each of them was of blue or higher quality!

There were even two pieces of purple equipment among them!

Soon, his eyes revealed his excitement.

With these pieces of equipment, this shop would soon become famous in Sarco City. It might even become famous among the humans and Dwarves.

After all, this was the first player-owned shop in the new region!

Suddenly, Tom put away the smile on his face and looked at Mike seriously.

"Good brother, although we have a good relationship, we still have to be clear about the benefits.

"This shop is yours, and the equipment is also provided by you. Although I'm the one running it, you're the one that made this shop happen."

He stretched out a finger and said, "I only want 10% of the profits. The rest is yours. How about it?"

Mike waved his hand and put his arm around Tom's shoulder. He smiled and said,

"The two of us are no different from blood brothers. If we really divide the profits like this, I will feel very stingy."

He smiled and stretched out a hand.

"50%. Each of us gets 50%."

Tom opened his mouth slightly and looked a little touched.

His good brother had become an unsurpassable expert.

He had a divine artifact, became a city lord, and had done all sorts of unimaginable things.

However, this powerful man still treated him as a good brother.

This really touched Tom.

He hugged Mike and said seriously,

"Good brother, thank you. I will definitely manage this shop well."

Mike just smiled and said nothing.

Actually, with his forging ability, Tom did not need to train his forging skills at all.

However, Mike did not want to use his forging skills too much.

This would probably cause the prices in Second World to be very unstable. It was not a good thing for Mike or the entire Second World.

He would only sell the forged equipment to Super Rich in exchange for some federation coins to improve his life.

Any more would be unacceptable.

Thinking of this, Mike and Tom separated and said,

"How about this? I'll leave a letter for you later. If an NPC called Jasmine asks you about this shop, you can show her the letter. She won't make things difficult for you.

"From now on, you should properly manage this shop. It will be very beneficial for you to train your forging skills."

Tom nodded seriously.

There were also players in Second World who became bigshots with their forging skills. There were not many examples like this, but it was enough to serve as a reference.

If one could become a top forging master, they would be respected in both Second World and in the real world.

After all, such equipment could enhance the strength of the players. No battle-type player would look down on a powerful lifestyle-type player.

Of course, the prerequisite was that the player's skills were good enough.

Otherwise, regardless of the player being a battle-type or a lifestyle-type player, others would still look down on the player.

After dealing with this matter, Mike directly left Sarco City.

Currently, the city was still in a semi-active state.

The general manager, Jasmine, had not returned yet, so there were many things that could not be taken care of.

In addition, those bandits were probably still sleeping, so for the city to have guards, the earliest would probably be in the afternoon.

For the time being, Mike still had a lot of time.

Since he had time, Mike would make use of it. After all, he still had a lot of things to do.

For example, the mission given to him by the god of death. Now was a good opportunity to do a mission.

After all, Sarco City was once the territory of the Dwarves, and it was relatively close to other Dwarven cities.

He could take this opportunity to clean up all the fire god believers in the Dwarven cities.

The faster he finished this mission and obtained the divinity, the faster Mike could proceed with the Legend of the Hero mission.

After taking a quick glance at the map, Mike set off for the first city he was going to.

..

Furnace City.

The most famous main city of the Dwarves.

Although it was not the territory of a king, it was a Dwarven City that had the most players.

The reason was simple. This city represented the greatest characteristic of the Dwarves — forging.

There were not many entertainment events in the city. No matter where you went, you could hear the sounds of blacksmiths hammering on equipment.

After walking into the city, Mike revealed an interested expression.

Although he had played Second World for a long time in his previous life, it did not mean that he had been to every corner of Second World.

It was his first time coming to Furnace City.

However, he had only walked a few steps when a Dwarf soldier stopped him.

Mike raised his eyebrows slightly.

It was very rare for guards to stop people because adventurers could enter any city regardless of race. The natives could not completely control the adventurers.

Therefore, this guard must have something to say.

Sure enough, when Mike looked at him, the guard asked politely,

"Hello, adventurer tourist, are you here to enjoy the forging competition?"

"Forging competition?" Mike was slightly surprised.
