Chapter 302 One gold coin, I'll take it.
Everyone else in the hall cast their gazes, some with sympathy, others with amusement.
Clearly, Shazima was quite famous in Starmoon City, and was known for his arrogance and domineering attitude.
Lin Tian closed his eyes again, completely ignoring Shazima.
"You!" Shazima roared, reaching out to grab Lin Tian's collar.
But his hand was stopped by an invisible force just as he reached halfway out.
Lin Tian exuded a faint but noticeable pressure, which made Shaqima feel a chill run down her spine.
Shazima was stunned for a moment, then became even angrier.
He's a level 62 warrior, how could he be intimidated by a level 50 person? This is an utter disgrace!
"Mr. Shazima!" the receptionist's voice rang out, "Please do not disturb the other guests!"
Shazima withdrew her hand, glared fiercely at Lin Tian, and walked to the other side of the seat to sit down, but her eyes remained fixed on Lin Tian, clearly not going to let it go.
Another half hour passed. During that time, the female receptionist left once, and when she returned, she went straight to Lin Tian.
"Mr. Lin, the chairman has finished his work. Please come with me."
Lin Tian stood up, and Celia quickly followed.
This scene instantly enraged Shaqima. He jumped to his feet: "Wait a minute! What right does he have to see Master Sima Han? I arrived before him! And I'm a level 62 warrior, while he's just a level 50..."
The receptionist turned around and said calmly, "Mr. Shazima, Mr. Lin has a token of introduction from the chairman. You, however, have neither an appointment nor a token of introduction. This is the rule."
"A token? What token?" Shazima stared at Lin Tian. "What token does he have?"
Lin Tian ignored her and followed the receptionist toward the stairs.
"Stop right there!" Shazima rushed in front of Lin Tian, blocking his path. "Kid, sell me your token! How about a hundred gold coins? No, five hundred gold coins! That's enough for you to live a carefree life in Starmoon City for a month!"
Lin Tian finally spoke, his voice calm: "Get out of the way."
"A thousand gold coins!" Shazima raised the price. "That's more money than you could earn in your entire life! Give me the token, and you'll be a millionaire in no time!"
The receptionist frowned: "Mr. Shazima, please don't do this. The token is a token of goodwill from the introducer, not a commodity."
"What's it to you!" Shaqima roared, then turned to Lin Tian, "Kid, I'm saying this for the last time, sell me the token. Otherwise, I guarantee you won't survive in Starmoon City! I, Shaqima, mean what I say!"
Lin Tian looked at Shaqima, a cold glint in his eyes.
But he remembered Huangpu Yun's advice—Sima Han hated trouble and didn't like people who caused trouble in front of him.
So Lin Tian simply asked the receptionist, "Can we leave now?"
"Of course, please follow me." The receptionist nodded, while giving the guard next to her a wink.
Two guards immediately stepped forward and blocked Shazima's path: "Mr. Shazima, please have some self-respect."
"You dare to stop me?!" Shazima roared in fury, unleashing a powerful aura of battle, fully displaying the power of a level 62 warrior.
But the guards of the Weapon Forging Guild are not to be underestimated.
The four guards released their auras simultaneously, and the combined force of their auras actually overwhelmed Shazima.
"The Weapon Forging Guild forbids violence. Violators will be blacklisted and permanently banned from entering," the guard captain said coldly. "Mr. Shazima, are you sure you want to challenge the guild's rules?"
Shazima's face was ashen, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. But he ultimately dared not actually make a move at the Refining Guild. Being blacklisted meant he would never be able to obtain any equipment or services from there again, which was fatal for a warrior.
"Fine...very good..." Shaqima gritted her teeth, staring intently at Lin Tian. "Kid, I'll remember you. Once we're out of the Refining Guild, I'll make you pay for offending me!"
After saying that, he turned around angrily and left with two attendants, slamming the door behind him.
Silence returned to the hall. The other waiting people exchanged glances, their eyes filled with curiosity as they looked at Lin Tian—this level 50 young man had actually managed to make Shaqima suffer a setback, and he even had a token to meet Sima Han; he seemed to be no ordinary person.
"I'm sorry, I made you laugh," the receptionist said apologetically to Lin Tian.
"It's alright," Lin Tian said calmly.
"Please follow me, the president is waiting for you on the fourth floor."
Lin Tian nodded and followed the receptionist up the spiral staircase. Celia whispered, "Brother Tian, that person is so annoying."
"Just a clown, don't bother with him." Lin Tian's voice was calm and unwavering.
To him, a provocation of Shazima's caliber was like an ant challenging an elephant—not even worthy of his anger. His mind was now entirely focused on his upcoming meeting with Sima Han and the crucial Abyssal Demon Iron.
As he ascended the spiral staircase, the true core area of the Weapon Forging Guild was about to unfold before him...
......
The environment on the fourth floor is completely different from the three floors below.
If the first floor is solemn, the second floor is noisy, and the third floor is professional, then the fourth floor is the epitome of simplicity and tranquility.
The entire floor is devoid of any superfluous decorations. The walls are unpolished, original stone walls, the floor is paved with dark gray stone slabs, and there are several skylights in the ceiling, through which natural light shines down, casting bright spots of light on the stone floor.
The floor is divided into several separate areas, each separated by heavy stone doors.
Several pieces of equipment hung on the walls on both sides of the corridor. There weren't many, but each one emitted a chilling energy fluctuation.
Lin Tian scanned the items and could identify at least three of them as red epic quality, while the rest were orange legendary top-quality items.
"The Guild Master is waiting for you in the forging room." The female receptionist stopped in front of a stone door. "I'll stop here. Please go in."
Lin Tian nodded his thanks, and the receptionist bowed slightly before turning and going downstairs.
The stone gate is simple and heavy, with no decoration on its surface except for a palm-sized crystal plate inlaid in the center.
Lin Tian reached out and lightly touched the crystal panel, and the stone door slid open silently inward.
The scene inside the door caused a flicker of surprise in Lin Tian's eyes.
This is an extremely spacious room, with a length and width exceeding thirty meters and a height of over ten meters.
In the center of the room was a huge forging table, carved from a single piece of black obsidian, its surface covered with intricate magical runes.
Below the forging table is a fire pipe, from which blazing flames erupt, forming an inextinguishable magical flame beneath the forging table.
Various tools were scattered around the forging table—hammers, pliers, chisels, carving knives of different sizes... Each tool was in excellent condition, reflecting a cold light in the firelight.
One side of the wall is a full-length shelf of materials, neatly arranged with hundreds of kinds of ores, crystals and other forging materials, each with a label indicating its name and properties.
