chapter 37
37. Yoo Hee-yeon and Tak Woo-hyun. an imminent situation.
“Hmm…”
Upon receiving a request from Lee Hyeon-seung, Tak Woo-hyeon, who entered the workshop to make weapons, looked at the materials scattered around him with regret. Then, I talked to the blacksmiths who were making weapons next to me.
“Is there anything higher quality than this? I try to make it as high quality as possible.”
Then, a short, tall man with a red string wrapped around his head. Nam Gwang-chu spoke as if he was troubled.
“If you use more advanced materials than this, you will be able to produce weapons of epic grade or higher. Didn’t the person who requested it say they wanted a weapon that was below epic level? When the upper limit is up to the maximum epic grade, you should not invest more materials than this.”
“Hmm… that’s true.”
Lee Hyeon-seung talked about it in a conversation with Tak Woo-hyeon the other day.
-It doesn’t matter if the weapon grade is Rare or Epic.
Just hearing this, it sounds like it’s good to make weapons between rare and epic, and weapons beyond that don’t matter, but there was an additional conversation before parting ways.
-Hey, you obviously asked me to make an Epic grade weapon, right? I’ll make you weapons that are much better than my Epic grade.
-Please refrain from crafting weapons that exceed Epic ratings. Not even those who have been confirmed to be mine yet. There is no value enough to sprinkle even a unique grade weapon. I don’t know if it’s a rare or epic weapon, but I think unique is too wasteful. I plan to give unique grade weapons when I become a person belonging to myself. Of course, then I will be producing. So this time, please make half rare and half epic weapons. If possible, I would like to pay differentially. Epic weapons for those who will become closer to me or follow me better. And by giving rare-grade weapons to halfway guys. I’ve checked off the list, so you can check it out.
“Haa… I’m not satisfied with this much.”
Tak Woo-hyun looked at the ingredients for a long time as if he was regretful while recalling Lee Hyun-seung’s conversation.
In Broad Academy Online, blacksmith skill grades and materials play an absolute role in weapon production. Because the process of making items is very simple.
In the process of making an item, the materials were randomly thrown into the blacksmith’s furnace. Then, the materials melt and are converted into [Crafting Spheres]. If you break the obtained [Crafting Sphere] with a hammer, item production will start automatically. All that remains is to wait for the item creation time.
Because of this streamlined process, skill grade and materials have an absolute impact on the grade of the item being created. It is because other elements are almost excluded.
“There is nothing I can do to make it not rank as unique. Instead, you should be sure to process it.”
Apart from the process of making an item, after making an item, various processing such as changing the appearance, adding accessories, or engraving an engraving is possible. Additional stats can be granted through it, but above all, processing also plays an important role in weapon production because it enhances aesthetic quality.
Tak Woo-hyeon quickly put several materials into the furnace and started manufacturing weapons sequentially.
***
the next morning. In front of Hyunseung Lee’s house.
-smart
As usual today, at the designated time, Jeong Eun-seo knocked on Lee Hyeon-seung’s door. Previously, they came out a little late, but now that Eun-seo is clearly aware of the time of arrival, Hyun-seung Lee also opens the door when he hears a knock.
-Kki-Ik-!
Hyunseung Lee opened the door with sleepy eyes and greeted Eunseo Jeong.
“hi.”
“You look sleepy today too? Did you make anything?”
Jeong Eun-seo spoke curiously.
“I’m working hard to raise my job level, but it’s not easy.”
Hyunseung Lee started working on his job level not too long ago. He was raising his proficiency by producing magazines he would never use or various recovery potions.
The reason for repeating this process was simple. It was because the more items you made, the higher the grade of the item you made, the higher your job level proficiency. It was because when the proficiency reached 100, it reached the next level. Nogada is perfect for this.
However, the problem was that the speed was too slow.
‘No matter how legendary it is, does it make sense to only rise this much after making so many?
[Legendary Blacksmith]
▶Job Level: 1
▶Job Training – 75%
The higher the level, the harder it is to raise proficiency. However, when he was stagnant from level 1, he was at a point where he didn’t know how to level up. The gunman’s characteristics were not so different.
[Legendary Gunsmith]
▶Job Level: 1
▶Job Mastery – 95%
At least, the gun was used at random in the F-Class representative selection this time, so its proficiency had risen considerably. Lee Hyeon-seung thought that it seemed that he had been given an additional bonus thanks to his many battles with various people.
‘What kind of function will be created at level 2?’
Originally, each time a job level rises, one special ability or skill is created. However, the identity of the legendary gunman has not been revealed because no one has ever existed.
‘Even if I don’t know what it is, I hope something good comes out.’
don’t want much I wish I could receive attributes or skills that would be useful in battle. Thinking so, Hyunseung Lee got into the car.
After driving for a while, Jeong Eun-seo asked Lee Hyeon-seung a question from the side with a worried look.
“Isn’t that overdoing it? Now Mr. Tak Woo-hyun has decided to look after us, and since I am on your side, you don’t have to push yourself that hard. If it’s hard, take a break and do it.”
Jeong Eun-seo said as if she was worried, but Lee Hyun-seung shook her head.
“You definitely formed an alliance, but Tak Woo-hyun is still difficult to say is a perfect alliance. Even from his point of view, I’m going with the huge disadvantage of facing the Artemis Guild, but at least I have to prove my own abilities. I have to prove that I’m worth investing in. Because otherwise, he could fall away at any time. Tak Woo-hyeon won’t betray him, but the people below him might not know.”
Tak Woo-hyun is a person who keeps his words once spoken. However, if the conflict between the Blacksmith Association and the Artemis Guild starts to intensify, and if the Artemis Guild starts to go out of its way as if it doesn’t matter what it is, the blacksmiths will surely suffer enormous damage. At that time, there must be a justification. Numerous blacksmiths, just because of a little boy to endure the enormous damage was to create a reason.
‘When I become stronger and my ability as a blacksmith surpasses Tak Woo-hyeon, those crazy production maniacs will take care of my bullet holes.’
The blacksmiths at Broad Academy were originally like that. They tend to respect people with superior manufacturing skills or higher-level skills than they do. The reason Tak Woo-hyeon showed interest in Lee Hyeon-seung was because Lee Hyeon-seung had a double slot that he didn’t have in the first place, so there was no need to explain.
‘Tak Woo-hyeon might be guessing that I might be a legendary blacksmith.’
‘Of course, at the same time, you might be thinking how a mere kid can be a legendary blacksmith.’
Right now, it didn’t really matter, since I was just making an analogy anyway. It will be revealed later that he is a legendary blacksmith. It was because I didn’t want to get into Yoo Hee-yeon’s ears and get too much attention. It was better to be careful as much as possible, as the story might spill over to someone.
-Kki-Ik-!
“What happen?”
The car that was heading towards the main entrance of Broad Academy suddenly hit the brakes and came to a stop. The man who was driving talked to Jung Eun-seo.
“sorry. Lady, suddenly someone jumped out in front of me.”
-Sueug
When Jung Eun-seo looked ahead, there was a familiar large lump. That lump was none other than Tak Woo-hyeon.
-percussion
Lee Hyun-seung opened the door and stepped forward to talk to Tak Woo-hyun.
“Is there a problem. I was surprised that you came out so suddenly.”
“hahahaha! I’m sorry that this suddenly seemed like a surprise. I made all the requested items, but I want to deliver them quickly.”
Looking at Tak Woo-hyeon’s hand, there were various weapons wrapped in a golden silky cloth. Even at a glance, the cloth looked incredibly luxurious and was huge.
Hyunseung Lee asked with worried eyes.
“Among the things you made, there is no weapon that exceeds the Epic grade, right?”
“of course! The basics of a blacksmith are to keep the request clearly. It did shine a little through processing, but as I said, it came with half of the rare and half of the epic ranks.”
Lee Hyun-seung took a quick look at the weapons before replying.
“It is a top-notch weapon in the Rare and Epic ranks. As expected, the quality is excellent, probably because it was made by blacksmith Tak Woo-hyeon himself. You must have worked hard to make it. Thank you sincerely.”
Hyunseung Lee bowed his head at 90 degrees and greeted Woohyun Tak. Tak Woo-hyun stared blankly at the sight.
Lee Hyun-seung tilted his head at Tak Woo-hyun’s unexpected reaction and asked a question.
“Why is that?”
“Hmm…I just thought you were pretty polite too. When we talked before, he didn’t seem to be very mean, but unexpectedly, he clearly expresses himself when he needs to be polite. Ah, the best blacksmith in the country made it himself and even delivered it, so there must be a reaction like this.”
Tak Woo-hyeon scratched his cheek as if expressing his gratitude was awkward while talking fluently.
‘I’m ashamed.’
Not befitting his size, as if he wasn’t used to compliments, he turned his head and smiled.
-Sueug
Lee Hyun-seung held Tak Woo-hyun’s hand and talked.
“I wish you all the best in the future.”
“Okay, from now on…”
The moment Tak Woo-hyun was about to hand over.
“oh? Isn’t that Mr. Tak Woo-hyun?”
A familiar voice came from the side. The owner of that voice was none other than Yoo Hee-yeon.
Yoo Hee-yeon naturally stood right in front of Tak Woo-hyeon and asked a question.
“Tak Woo-hyun? Did my father commission you to make weapons? Why did you ask me to deliver such a large amount of weapons to the academy?”
Yoo Hee-yeon thought that the owner of the expensive weapon piled up in a golden cloth belonged to the Artemis Guild. He also knew that his father had placed a large order for weapons in Tak Woo-hyun not too long ago, and it was because there were not many people in the Broad Academy who could afford such expensive equipment.
Tak Woo-hyun was not taken aback and answered.
“Heeyeon Yoo. These weapons are not commissioned by the Artemis Guild. It’s because I made it for a different purpose.”
As Tak Woo-hyeon spoke and glanced at Lee Hyeon-seung, Yoo Hee-yeon crumpled her expression and spoke.
“Could it be that this person, Lee Hyeon-seung, commissioned it? Where the hell did this person get the money to order such an expensive weapon?”
Yoo Hee-yeon speaks as if looking down. She glanced at Lee Hyeon-seung with an incomprehensible expression, and then spoke to Tak Woo-hyeon.
“Well, it doesn’t matter how you got it. Sell that weapon to me. I’ll give you twice the price Lee Hyun-seung called, so hand it over to me.”
Yoo Hee-yeon didn’t really need a weapon. However, I just thought that I had to repay the humiliation suffered by Lee Hyun-seung a while ago. That’s why I tried to take out his commissioned item right in front of my eyes. With her incredible wealth.
“You are in trouble, Miss.”
Tak Woo-hyun said politely. However, Yoo Hee-yeon answered.
“Are you short of money? 3 times. No, I’ll give you 10x. Is that enough? Tell your father to deposit the money. I bought the weapon, so put it in the Artemis Guild storage.”
– Kadeudeuk
Tak Woo-hyun’s rugged body started to have veins, and his expression gradually hardened.
“Lady… A blacksmith is a merchant who makes money selling weapons, but before that, please don’t forget that he is a craftsman who takes pride in making weapons. This kind of attitude is a great disgrace to me. I’m not the kind of person who just gives you money. Please be polite.”
Yoo Hee-yeon replied with an absurd expression.
“Why are you like that? Are you short of money? Then I’ll tell my father to give you a high-level artifact. Is that enough?”
– Kadeudeuk
-grasp-!
Unable to bear it any longer, Tak Woo-hyeon passed the wrapping cloth wrapped with weapons to Lee Hyeon-seung and looked at Yoo Hee-yeon and talked.
“It has already been assigned an owner.”
Tak Woo-hyeon glared at Yoo Hee-yeon with a tremendous amount of murderous intent, as if he had been humiliated.
“Even if you give tens or hundreds of billions of dollars, you cannot sell it. miss.”
