Chapter 24 The Axe Making Boom 1

[Chat Channel]

[I have a Level 1 axe blueprint here, which can fight against Level 1 creatures. Anyone who needs it can PM me. You need to provide your own materials. I won’t reply if you don’t have all the materials, to avoid wasting everyone’s time. Limited quantity per day, first come, first served.

Axe Crafting Materials: Wood Plank x5, Iron Block x5, Bronze x3, Silver x1

PS: My intention is indeed to help players, but I will also charge a certain fee. The fee is up to you. Don’t come if you want to freeload or have malicious intentions. I will directly block you and permanently stop trading with you if I find out.

Seeing this message, the players instantly went wild. At first, everyone didn’t believe that someone would be so kind. They thought it was another player trying to scam them for supplies. This kind of thing had happened before. Those who cheated and scammed couldn’t change their bad habits wherever they went.

The chat area was filled with discussions:

[Impossible, a Level 1 blueprint? I’ve never even seen a Level 1 weapon, and someone actually got a Level 1 blueprint already?]

[I don’t believe it. Someone would be so kind as to give away a Level 1 blueprint?]

[Can the person above read clearly? They said they’ll charge a fee. You guys think they’re some kind of good person? They’re definitely trying to earn everyone’s supplies.]

[Haters back off! It’s normal for a big shot to charge a little for helping everyone craft Level 1 weapons. Don’t they need to spend time and effort? I’m going to the trading center to prepare the materials right now. I want to find the big shot to craft one for me.]

[Yeah, some people just want to get something for nothing, they don’t want to put in any effort. Wait for me, let’s go together. We can also see if we have any materials to trade.]

[The axe crafting materials seem so hard to collect. I only have wood planks.]

[Of course, the crafting materials for a Level 1 weapon, do you think they’re easy to get? Think about how many people have Level 1 weapons now.]

…..

The discussion in the chat area became more and more heated. As soon as some haters appeared, they were suppressed by everyone. They were afraid of angering the big shot and making them unwilling to craft weapons for everyone anymore.

Soon, some players with abundant supplies sent private messages to Lu Chenxi, saying they wanted to craft axes. Occasionally, there were a few messages asking about the authenticity, but Lu Chenxi didn’t reply to any of them. If they didn’t believe her, they wouldn’t come.

Among these private messages, Lu Chenxi saw a familiar player, Li Qihua, who she had traded wood planks and branches with a few times before.

[Big shot, are you there? I’ve prepared the axe crafting materials. Are you available to craft now? I’ll send you the materials. By the way, I’ve prepared 10 kg of mushrooms as a reward. Do you think that’s satisfactory?]

Lu Chenxi was happy to help those who were willing to pay. No matter how much they offered, as long as they showed their sincerity, Lu Chenxi wouldn’t mind. She immediately replied:

[Yes, I have time now.]

[Let’s add each other as friends first. Only friends can send items. 10 kg of mushrooms is enough.]

The other side must have been waiting, and the next second, a friend request was sent.

[Player Li Qihua has sent you a friend request. Do you accept?]

Lu Chenxi clicked accept, and immediately received the materials sent by the other side.

As soon as she got the materials, Lu Chenxi didn’t delay. She immediately opened her tool bar and started crafting. It took one hour to craft an axe, which meant she could craft a maximum of 24 axes per day.

Lu Chenxi, fearing that the other party would be impatient, replied to them, “It takes 1 hour to craft, I’ll give it to you in 1 hour.”

Li Qihua: “Okay, okay, I’m not in a hurry, take your time, big shot.”

He really wasn’t in a hurry. This was a Level 1 weapon. He could wait a day, let alone an hour.

Li Qihua also had an axe, which he had obtained from the sign-in reward at the beginning. But it was just a plain axe, so it took him half an hour to chop down a tree. Every day, he was practically a lumberjack, trying to get some wood planks to exchange for resources.

If he could get a Level 1 axe, chopping down a tree would be a matter of minutes. After all, it was a weapon that could fight against Level 1 creatures, chopping down trees would be a waste of its potential.

Lu Chenxi threw the materials into the workbench and didn’t need to do anything else. She just had to wait for the axe to be crafted. As for why she had to charge a fee, it was to prevent others from taking it for granted.

Otherwise, if she crafted axes for everyone for free this time, she wouldn’t be able to charge for it next time. There might be more people asking her for food and drink. This line couldn’t be crossed.

She picked up the 10 kg of mushrooms that were sent along with the materials and took a look. They were all of good quality, it seemed like they had been carefully selected. Lu Chenxi was very satisfied. It wasn’t that mushrooms were particularly precious, but it showed that the other party appreciated her kindness and that her good intentions were not in vain.

She continued to check other private messages. This one was from a player named Ning Zixuan. As for why Lu Chenxi knew his name, it was because it was written in the friend request:

[Big shot, I’ve prepared the materials. I’ve sent you a friend request. Once you accept, I’ll send you the materials.]

[I’ve prepared some seeds for you as a reward. Do you think that’s okay? I have Cabbage Seeds x1, Cucumber Seeds x1, and Eggplant Seeds x1.]

Lu Chenxi immediately accepted the friend request and told him to wait two hours.

Ning Zixuan: [Thank you, big shot, thank you, big shot. If you like seeds, I’ll give you some next time I have them.]

Lu Chenxi knew this was just a polite remark, but it didn’t stop her from thinking that this player was quite a good person. At least she found him pleasant.

There were polite and considerate players, but there were also impolite ones:

Player 1: [Big shot, I’m missing a piece of silver for crafting the axe. I’ve searched the trading center but couldn’t find any. Can you please lend me one? I’ll return it to you later. Please, please~]

Player 2: [Kid, do you have free axes to give away? I’m 70 years old this year, I meet the requirements, right? Just send me the axe.]

Player 3: [You’re willing to craft axes for others, why not for me? Is it because I’m not giving you a reward? But axe materials are hard to collect for me. You definitely don’t lack supplies, why do you care about my measly offerings?]

……

There were all sorts of strange people. For those who weren’t too outrageous, Lu Chenxi would explain a little. For those who were brainless, she would directly block them.

She had chosen about 30 to 40 players from countless private messages and agreed to craft axes for them. She realized that she couldn’t keep up with all the private messages, and the axe crafting speed couldn’t keep up either. So, Lu Chenxi posted another announcement in the chat channel.
