I Became an Academy Overpowered Marksman

10. Broad Academy is back

5 am. Lee Hyun-seung’s house.

-Kaang-!

-Kaang-!

Hyunseung Lee continued to hit something with his hammer.

-Kaang-!

-Kaang-!

Suddenly, an information message was displayed.

– Do you want to make a fire elemental magazine? Estimated production time is 01 hours 00 minutes.

Hyunseung Lee raised his hand to the message displayed and pressed the Yes button.

– Start producing fire element magazines. Estimated production time is 01 hours 00 minutes.

– The [Legendary] blacksmith job attribute effect is activated!

– Production time is greatly reduced.

– Estimated production time is 20 minutes.

‘Whoa…’

Hyunseung Lee sighed out of breath and looked at the item being produced.

‘It’s definitely a legend grade, so the production speed is ridiculously fast.’

The blacksmith job in Broad Academy Online has a very unique production method.

Throw items that can be used as materials for items or weapons into [Blacksmith’s Furnace], which can be summoned with the blacksmith’s basic skill.

The melted material then protrudes out as a small solid. This is called the [sphere of production].

If you hit the sphere of production that came out as a solid on an anvil without mercy, the lump will be broken. At this time, if you use the crafting skill, the weapon or item production will automatically start from then on.

1. Melt the material in the blacksmith’s furnace.

2. Acquire the sphere of solidified crafting.

3. Hit the sphere of crafting on the anvil to break it, and use the crafting skill.

Items can be crafted in the above three steps.

This was more of a consideration to reduce the complexity of the game company and to allow people without professional knowledge to use the production technology. Thanks to this, even players without blacksmith knowledge could easily craft items. There is no need to go through the process of melting, hardening, and steaming iron to make a knife, or complicated processes such as assembling and inserting a spring to make a firearm. All you have to do is break the melted sphere of crafting and use the crafting skill.

‘The reduction in time is more than I thought.’

It is true that the method of making an item itself is very easy if you know what materials to use even if you do not have expert knowledge. However, if there is one problem, there is a ‘wait time’.

No matter what item you create, there will be a waiting period for a certain amount of time after breaking the sphere, from a few minutes to several tens of days. This waiting time is shortened the higher the blacksmith job grade or the higher the blacksmith job level.

‘It took only 20 minutes to take an hour…’

The expected production time for the fire element magazine I am making is originally 1 hour. However, thanks to the [Legendary] blacksmith attribute effect, it was 20 minutes. It was predicted that normal blacksmiths could make items 3 times faster than when making weapons.

‘Even at one time, up to two can be produced at the same time.’

What was surprising was the fact that ‘simultaneous item production’ was also possible.

Originally, if you smash a [Crafting Sphere] and use the crafting skill, you cannot craft other items until all items being crafted are completed. This is a chronic problem that all Blacksmiths up to the Unique level have. However, [Legendary] blacksmiths can produce items at the same time.

This is one of the great merits. For example, if a normal blacksmith wants to create an item that takes about 20 days to produce, during those 20 days, he cannot produce any other item at all.

But even when I was making an item that took about 20 days to produce, I was able to make other weapons and items.

‘I didn’t know it in the game, but now that it’s real time, it feels much more fraudulent.’

Crafting time increases as the performance of the weapon or the rarity of the item increases. So, general blacksmiths are very reluctant to make high-level weapons or items. No wonder. In the meantime, I’ll have to keep an eye on it.

However, since I have 2 crafting slots, I can create as much as I want. The merit of simultaneous production is something that all blacksmiths would envy. No, it must be an ability he would want to possess even if he had to give up an arm.

‘I want to make a high-level weapon right now… but I can’t help it because there are no materials.’

Of course, the more complex and good-grade weapons or items you want, the higher quality materials you need to use. There are many materials that cannot be purchased on the market, so in order to get good weapons, there was no other way than to enter the labyrinth later and procure the materials directly. It was difficult to make firearms or high-end items with the materials I bought with my current money, and it was all about making magazines.

‘Is it going to be over soon?’

Thinking that about 20 minutes had passed, I looked at the [Creation Sphere]. The sphere of production began to glow brightly.

– [Rare] A fire attribute magazine has been created.

– [Legendary] Blacksmith job proficiency slightly increases.

– You have successfully created an item for the first time.

– You have completed the achievement [First Steps as a Blacksmith].

– You acquired 3 stat distribution points by completing the achievement.

‘Crazy, stat distribution points, and rarity from the first production?’

In this game, there are a total of 5 items and job grades: Normal, Rare, Epic, Unique, and Legend.

The general is the worst. And legends are the best. It is said that there is also a Shinhwa class outside of the bun, but I have never seen it before, so I excluded it.

Anyway, the rarity level may not seem that high, but it was important that I was ‘first’ to make an item this time.

Item production is not always successful. Occasionally, it was not uncommon for the sphere of production to explode if there was a ‘failure’, and even if it was successful, it was mostly to produce a normal grade when the proficiency was low.

No matter how [Legend] I am, my blacksmith level is 1. Still, at an overwhelming speed, I couldn’t help but be surprised that I was able to produce a rare item rather than a failure.

‘If I raise the blacksmith level a little, I don’t know if I’ll be able to make an Epic… and even a Unique.’

This was a huge deal. Let’s assume that a sword with the same material exists.

The [Normal] grade sword and the [Epic] grade sword have the same appearance and materials used, but there is a significant difference in their performance. So, the higher the rating, the better. After a little more time, it would be possible to mass-produce two Epic-grade weapons. Even, if I create a weapon that is higher than the firearms epic level, I enjoy the job special effects as well.

Thinking so, I tapped the production sphere again.

-Kaang-!

-Kaang-!

-Kaang-!

[produce]

– The [Legendary] blacksmith job attribute effect is activated!

– Production time is greatly reduced.

– Estimated production time is 20 minutes.

After that, I put materials into the blacksmith’s furnace to get a [Crafting Sphere] and then repeated the item creation.

– [Rare] Water property magazine has been created.

– [Legendary] Blacksmith job proficiency slightly increases.

-Kaang-!

– The [Legendary] blacksmith job attribute effect is activated!

– Production time is greatly reduced.

– Estimated production time is 20 minutes.

– [Rare] A light attribute magazine has been created.

– [Legendary] Blacksmith job proficiency slightly increases.

After making items for a long time, I looked at the things that were being made.

– Fire property magazine

– Light attribute magazine

– Water element magazine

In addition, magazines of various properties. I checked one of them closely.

——

[Fire attribute magazine]

▶When using the magazine, the bullet is given the flame property.

▶It is a magazine equipped with special effects.

▶Special Effect [Transformation]: The shape of the bullet and magazine is transformed according to the firearm being used.

——

Among the various effects, [Transformation] is one of the characteristics I put in while making the item. [Transformation] If there is a special effect, the magazine is automatically transformed into bullets and shapes to fit various weapons such as pistols, rifles, and sniper rifles.

‘I’ve prepared enough magazines with this. I have to be prepared for something like this in case something happens.’

-Sueug

I put the magazines inside my clothes and went outside.

-bang-!

When I closed the door and went outside, Jung Eun-seo was waiting for me.

I looked at Jeong Eun-seo as if it was absurd.

“How did you know our house and waited here?”

“Anyway, this is easy to see. Judging by your personality, you seem to like talented people, so I have to prove that I am capable one by one.”

“…We were supposed to meet at the Broad Academy, weren’t we? Why did you wait here for that reason?”

She looked at me and replied.

“Because it’s the way to go. And, there is something to brag about, so it was hard to wait.”

She looked at the car behind her and shouted.

“Could you come out for a minute?”

-Clap-!

“Did you call?”

A man in his 30s or 40s, wearing a neat suit, got out of a luxurious limousine. I knew it as soon as I saw his face.

‘Nam Jin-seok…’

As I looked at him in surprise, Jeong Eun-seo said to me as if it was absurd.

“Looking at the reaction, I can’t believe… Do you even know who this person is?…Then I don’t need to explain.”

Jinseok Nam. One of the wizards who always enter the top 10 in the field of emotion magic.

When you hold something in your hand, not only your fingerprints, but also the person’s mana aura remains. We call this [Mana Hun].

For your information, even ordinary people who do not have magic stats and special jobs like gunsmiths all have a very small amount of mana. Even for newborns. That’s why manahun is a very important part of the investigation process. Of course, mana scars become finer as time passes and as the aura of mana becomes weaker, so very few people can accurately assess it.

However, Nam Jin-seok is one of the few wizards in Korea who can accurately detect even the smallest [mana scar]. There are very few wizards who can appraise this amount of mana scars, and since accurate mana scar appraisers are needed for detecting criminals or in various fields, the cost of commissioning them is enormous. Demand is ridiculously high, but supply is low, so it was only natural.

However, he did not go to Nam Jin-seok and ask for it, and even to accompany him like this, he would have to spend an absurd amount of money a day.

Jeong Eun-seo said with a confident smile.

“Did I tell you? Make sure the case. You won’t lose anything by joining me. Because now this is only part of it. If you find your grandfather’s legacy, you can do something bigger, so I hope you think positively.”

I looked at her and answered calmly.

“Excellent. Then let’s go now.”

-Sueug

-dump

I naturally got into the car, Nam Jin-seok sat in the passenger seat, and Jung Eun-seo sat next to me. Jeong Eun-seo was about to say something, but after seeing my eyes, she didn’t say anything and stayed still.

Jeong Eun-seo thought.

‘How unfair was that…’

-Kidduck

Lee Hyeon-seung grinded his teeth and calmed down.

‘Damn you bastards… wait and see. If my suspension is lifted after I’ve proven my innocence… I’ll mess up your careers. Practical skills, writing, class annihilation, and even individual evaluation. You guys will have to taste despair every time. Trampling, and trampling again.”

After a while, the limousine entered a building.

-Kki-Ik-!

The driver stopped the car and talked.

“Im here. This is Broad Academy.”

Jeong Eun-seo told me.

“Shall we go?”

-Clap-!

I opened the door without a word and walked confidently toward the front door.
