Chapter 163: - The Titanium Controversy


    ?


    The Dissidia Kingdom''s Grand Event was broadcast widely on television and live-streamed, captivating viewers around the globe. The audience was particrly entranced by the event''s opening, where Princess Alora made her grand entrance. She appeared like a figure from a fairy tale, exuding charm and elegance, her beauty far surpassing her usual formidable battle-d image.


    "Princess Alora is definitely my dream. I would do anything for her-even if it means dying for her."


    "It''s incredible; she is so perfect. The visuals of this game are so stunningly beautiful that it''s almost unbelievable to think it could create a character like this."


    "I would give anything to touch her skin, or just to be her humble servant."


    "She is stunningly beautiful, a blend of human and elf. In the Human Kingdom, she stands out as the Crown Princess. She is a true inspiration, known for her bravery and worth."N?v(el)B\\jnn


    "I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her!!!"


    "I want to buy more of her merchandise. I want to collect every piece of merchandise created for her. Please, Golden Age, release more merchandise about her! Take all of my money." "She is so perfect! I feel likeing to thepetition just to see Princess Alora in person!" "I think Princess Alora is the most perfect character in Immortal Legacy."


    On the screen, Morbit and Max could be seen walking among the contestants, clearly on the lookout for someone to interview.


    "Do you know who''s with us this time?" Max asked, her face radiating excitement.


    "Of course, everyone should be aware," Morbit replied with a knowing smile.


    At that moment, the renowned cksmith known as Lanceshot appeared before them.


    "Mr. Lanceshot!" Max eximed, eliciting loud cheers from both the Immortal Legacy yers and those watching from the real world.


    Max nodded enthusiastically, "As many of you know, he is the top-ranked cksmith: Advanced Rank Level 9! He''s been honing his cksmithing skills since the game wasunched to the public, and his aplishments speak volumes. He is well-known and respected by many."


    Morbit continued, "Given Mr. Lanceshot''s great reputation, I''m curious to hear his thoughts on this grand event and his hopes for thepetition."


    Lanceshot replied confidently, "This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase my cksmithing skills to the world. Even though I''m already well-known, I''m determined to give it my all in thispetition. I aim to ensure my work is of the highest possible quality so that no one else canpete with me. I''m sure I''ll win the grand prize!"


    Apuse and cheers erupted in response to Lanceshot''s bold deration, with severalpliments and admiration pouring in from all around.


    With a cheerful face, Max said, "Oh, you sure are very humble and confident, Mr. Lanceshot." As the apuse began to fade, Morbit resumed, "Mr. Lanceshot, can you provide some insight to inspire other cksmiths on how to reach a high level in the craft?"


    "Absolutely," Lanceshot replied. "My secret is to never take the easy route when crafting a weapon. Using automated crafting features may get you the item quickly, but the quality will be inferior. A true cksmith puts in the hard work, toiling diligently to create an item with high levels of tenacity and precision. This, along with natural talent, is what''s required to reach a high level. Of course, not everyone is born with the same aptitude-that''s why no one has surpassed me yet, hahaha."


    The audience erupted in apuse and praise for Lanceshot from all corners of the world, his confidence and expertise clearly resonating with them all.


    Broken had been pondering what item he should craft for some time when he finally recalled a blueprint he had received from Fokil a while back when he had sessfully crafted his first Glove.


    [Royal Hammer Blueprint]


    [Grade: Rare ~ Unique]


    [The perfect tool for any cksmith looking to make a statement. With its luxurious golden handle and signature red velvet cushion, it''s sure to bring a touch of royalty to the smithy. Plus, its titanium head is guaranteed to make your hammering work easier and more efficient! Start hammering like a king today!]


    [To craft this item, you will need steel, a specific amount of titanium, a high-quality monster bone, and a high-quality monster hide.]


    [Crafting this item requires the skill of an Advanced cksmith.]


    "Royal Hammer?" Broken muttered under his breath. Nodding slowly, he added, "From the materials needed, it doesn''t seem too difficult. The organizers have provided steel and titanium, and I have some bones and hides from the monsters I''ve killed so far. Luckily, I didn''t sell all the items I acquired from hunting."


    He felt particrly interested in crafting this hammer because it would be essential for the next round. With such a tool, his chances of creating higher-grade equipment would greatly improve.


    He joined the queue, weaving through the bustling crowd of aspiring craftsmen. As he got closer, he noticed a scowling figure standing guard at the counter-the cksmith assigned to ensure that no one took more than their fair share of materials.


    "I need steel and titanium," Broken said firmly.


    The words had barely left his lips before shock registered on the cksmith''s face.


    "What? Titanium? What kind of joke is this? You can''t just ask for titanium in the first round! Do you really think you''re worthy of such prestigious materials? I doubt it; even famous cksmiths wouldn''t dare."


    The cksmith then grudgingly threw three steel bars at Broken. "Take these and get out of here!"


    "I heard all the items here are free for us to use, and I''m not breaking any rules," Broken


    stated.


    "Move along! There are many others waiting in line! Get out!" the cksmith barked.


    A voice from the back of the line shouted, "Hey! Hurry up, you''re holding up the queue!"


    Another person chimed in, "Asshole! Get out of here quickly!"


    "Your selfishness will ruin it for everyone in this line!"


    "Don''t waste our time."


    An agitated individual ran up to Broken, pointing a finger at him. "Lose the attitude and move now, or I''ll deal with you myself. We can''t let one person disrupt the entire line. Do you


    understand?"


    However, Broken remained calm and unbothered by theints around him, his focus steady on the cksmith guarding the counter. "I want the titanium," he stated. "I''m not breaking any rules, and I have every right to use the material for my crafting."


    The cksmith''s face twisted in frustration at Broken''s stubbornness. "I suggest you leave before I lose my patiencepletely!" he growled. "I''ll call the guards and have you disqualified from thepetition. You''re not even worth anyone''s attention!"


    Broken stood his ground. "All I''m asking for is a few titanium bars-something that''s avable to me. Once I get them, I''ll leave. Until then, I won''t budge."


    The crowd''s anger was reaching a fever pitch, and people started shouting in frustration. The situation was quickly getting out of hand.


    Suddenly, a powerful voice echoed through the chaos. "Asking for titanium in the first round isn''t against the rules. Let him have the titanium bars!"


    Everyone''s heads whipped around toward the voice, and they immediately stiffened when


    they saw who had spoken.
