Blacksmithing

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Mr KC was still continuing his little talking on the tv program.

"Mmm, the system inside Rising Essence will become much more bold, which will allow it to be of greater help towards players. Expect certain proactiveness coming from the system when the player seems to need some kind of advice."

"Talking about players and granting them a great service, I'm glad to inform everyone here on New Earth that from now on two kinds of medicine will be given to everyone with a GT, weekly. Before doubts arise, I don't think I need to say how incredible our AIs are, so please refrain from scamming the system, sigh... It's so tiring to decide whether to imprison, force into public service or even death penalty when it comes to organized crime. Well, anyways, with that said I'll continue where I just left. These two types of medicine are called 'Little Strengthening Serum' and 'Minor Invigoration Beverage'."

"Allow me to clear things up properly. The Little Strengthening Serum is capable of maintaining a person completely healthy, physical or mentally, to a moderate level. It also holds the capacity of creating better results at strengthening one's body and even fortifies one's intellect if used correctly, as I've said, moderately."

"The Minor Invigoration Beverage is capable of letting one's body to play inside Rising Essence more time and more consecutively; an old person is slower than a younger person, and also gets tired more easily and faster when playing videogames, even if our GTs are made so that it doesn't drain the energy of your body, it still affects anyone one way or another. With this medicine, one will be able to keep on playing for some hours every day and not be affected. This doesn't allow someone to stay inside a game for more than 12 hours every day so please, take care of your body and mentality, is very important."

"These medicines are all courtesy of our most esteemed little angel, Nora Béart, thank you everyone for listening on us."

"On another matter, we have received many complaints and reports for certain individuals too. Please, take note, if there is no announcement nor public answer from our part is for a reason. Consecutive false reporting and spam will be taken as an act against information and will be sanctioned."

At that moment, Mr KC smiled at the camera in silence for a second before finally bidding farewell: "Well, I think that's all. I wish everyone fun in finding your own pet and mounts. Goodbye."

He directly stood up and went back from where he came from, the announcer seeing this, smiled back at the camera as the screen slowly turned black.

"Wah, Master is really great!"

"Mn, Little Yao, did you pay attention to it? You need to know a lot of things since you want to play, eh~."

"Mn! Yes Mada-er, Big Sister Natalia. I'm going to be like you, a cleric... is-is that alright?"

Hearing her be so wishy-washy and present her admiration for herself, Natalia smiled back in kind as she responded: "Of  course! Why would it be bad? Two clerics are better than one, no? Hehehe~."

After blushing for a little, Yao Yao went back to her maid duties with the others, it was about to reach evening time and dinner was soon to be served. They had to prepare everything for their dear little Master fully focused on Rising Essence right now.

Rising Essence, on an unknown hill of a deserted hunting grounds.

 

Tongqiu was sitting with his legs wide opened knees up, he was calmly looking at the distant sky and the obscured forests that reached beyond the limits of the Sub-Division. Once the update came, he and everyone else would be able to go through them and reach the adjacent Sub-Divisions. Even the Division wouldn't be impossible, though it would in fact be much longer in time to reach there, probably 1-2 months without a teleportation.

His face was incomprehensible as his thoughts were focused on certain aspects of the game, he maintained such a stance for 20 minutes or so, amply enjoying this pure, peaceful and windy environment.

After that much long, Tongqiu opened his skill window to see the brand new skill, or rather, mutated/remolded skill..

[Cosmo Omega Shot]: Trigger Skill, MAX LV: 10, LV: 10, SP needed for next LV: MAX, cost 250 MP and 250 Stamina, effect: Every Critical Hit, Pierce Attack made grants you 1 Particle, every MISS, block or parry attack against you grants 1 Particle and ever Critical Hit and Pierce Attack grants you 5 Particles. When achieving 10 stacks of Particles, the next attack of any kind and form will be boosted by 100% in total damage that ignores defense.

He looked at this skill for a long time, it came in handy with his future plans when it came to combat and killing. As for its level, maybe it was because of the use of the Portal Stone or maybe it was because of his class being so insanely needy, wasteful and... unique. That his skill was directly levelled up to MAX.

Whatever the case, it was good for him and it made him quite satisfied so Tongqiu merely decided to take a little break around here.

Sigh

After sighing slightly, he abruptly disconnected from Rising Essence, going back to his villa which he was now thinking of giving it a little name.

***

 

Tongqiu's soon-to-be-named villa, dinning room.

 

"Master, you're back!" Hearing a certain little monkey go high in volume as soon as he turned the corner to entering the dinning room, he smiled in great delight before softly asking back: "Mm, but I didn't go anywhere. Where did I go, eh?"

"Mm- that, aeh..." Feeling a little shy, Little Mon-Yao blushed a little before Natalia came to her rescue, or not: "Can't you see she misses you that much? Aish, hurry up and eat what they've prepared for you, you have no idea how silly Little Yao became after hearing Mr KC talk about you in TV."

Her soft, gentle voice soothed the entire large dinning room, prompting them to resume their eating as if such obligations weren't strict here, Tongqiu obviously didn't mind as he took a couple of plates for himself to arrived at his seat when he saw a couple of covered plates already placed on the table.

Smiling he went back to put the plates on the little kitchen before coming back to eat along with them. It wasn't a 'family dinner'-like feeling nor sensation, it was... a sensation that he felt belonged to him and them, a kind of warm that was merely formed out of bond.

Seeing him eat so ravenously, Diana stopped eating before flashing a little glance to Yao Yao's admiring sneaky glances at Tongqiu, she then blushed when she discovered Diana's glance and lowered her little head to eat. Diana spoke at this time: "Hm, baby, did you know? Yao Yao and a few other girls wanna enter Rising Essence, could you...?"

Not giving a slight care about that KC man being mentioned, Tongqiu only responded when he was suggestively mentioned this, he raised his head and spoke in a reassuring manner: "Mn, yes. I'll see to it, maybe Nora will finally be available? Sigh..."

Understanding her little darling's left out feelings, Diana placed her left hand on his right thigh and continued eating. Feeling her warmth, Tongqiu also continued eating until the end.

After dinner, Tongqiu, Naty and Diana moved towards their bedroom to 'sleep'. After giving Diana enough care to send her to sleep, he went and brutally destroyed Natalia's previously recuperated senses in just a few orgasms, he was unstoppable!

Next day, Rising Essence. Azure Dragon Sub-Division.

 

Tongqiu was walking through the crowded, market area, where all NPCs and some players sold their stuff. Though most players would be merely losing their time, while the NPCs benefited from the endless amount of customers that were still mid-low level in this release of Rising Essence.

After some walking, he finally arrived at a clearly better than other blacksmith's shop, where he could make use of a forge to properly use his blacksmith sub-class.

He entered the place and gave everywhere a look, a middle-aged, bald, tall and fat man approached him.

"Customer... or trainee?" His rough eyes and body language moved constantly around Tongqiu's body. Tongqiu himself was astounded, he instantly realized he was seen as a blacksmith from his Forge and Create branch but, he never worked on it so he wasn't even a basic grade blacksmith so as to say.

"Yes, trainee. I'd like to learn, eh... by myself, is there a forge I can rent?"

Tongqiu's response for once didn't make one uncomfortable and instead allowed the middle-aged man to even feel relaxed, the man said back: "Sure, yeah. Fifty gold the hour, is of a good grade, for here anyways. There's a disassembler too if you need to, that one is free. My name is Baiy if you need anything else."

Tongqiu shook his head and payed the man a good 500 gold, he then walked towards the back of the shop where a couple dozen mid-small sized rooms with a forge and water, etch; where he closed the door and saw a timer on it right after he closed it.

It said that the time left was of 09:59:55, he didn't felt pressured and actually went out, waited a couple minutes before entering back in. The timer went to 09:59:49.

'Good, it works good.' Nodding in satisfaction, Tongqiu moved his ignorant-of-blacksmithing-body towards the forge and the rest of the room, studying it a little bit.

He more or less knew what to do all around a forging room, but he still sat down and reviewed the contents full of hints, tips and instructions from the Forge and Create branch. After a good 3-6 minutes, he stood up again and checked the room again, it lacked quite some necessary things according to the data in his branch window. But it was okay, he didn't need to use them right away or anything, he also could make them himself if he wanted since he wasn't that far off from it. Even though it should be something of high-end around here, according to his estimations.

Tongqiu started to work, but not at blacksmithing, he rather walked towards the disassembler at the corner of the mid-small room. It was basically an orange colored box-shaped block at the base and top with an oval/egg shaped structure at the middle made of some sort of blackish colored crystal.

[Disassembler]: Type: Special Item, Grade: Valuable, Use: Depending on one's blacksmith's sub-class grade, any item or equipment will be turned back to miscellaneous items like materials, minerals, herbs and even food. The quantity and quality varies.

At the same time he checked out the disassembler and took out his Tempered Chestplate to put it to 'good use'.

*PING*... would host like to use the automatic mode or manual mode?

"Oh... automatic, make me sweat." Responded an indifferent Tongqiu.

Unlike with the gardener's tools, there were no extra mini-tools to use with the same thing, he just had to operate the thing with his own hands, and brain.

He instinctively put the Tempered Chestplate through the oval shaped glass, the moment he did so he understood, his hand and the item in his hand went through the 'glass' and stood inside of it, hovering.

He then looked up and down at the thing, not finding a single useful clue, he also instinctively put his hands in front of the glass thingy and gyrated his right hand towards his left. Some strong blue and flame-like orange appeared like two small currents that were being manipulated by the movement of his hands, but it wasn't enough. So he used his left hand to gyrate towards the left as well but it instead seemed to turn it chaotically, before the disassembler had the chance to go 'pufff' Tongqiu gyrated his left hand at his right instead as it right after stabilized and even seemed to work.

The item, the Tempered Chestplate, inside the glass began glowing and slowly becoming a Tempered Chestplate made entirely of goldish-like, viscose liquid. A few seconds later, the disassembler trembled left and right as if hopping in joy before finally stopping.

Cliiink!~~

A rather loud and sharp 'I am ready' bell-like noise sounded out, Tongqiu wasn't ready for it and went blind a little as well as stunned, after recuperating he turned his body back towards the disassembler only to see a couple of cute-looking materials in there.

He put his hands on it to pick it up and the moment he did so, a notification appeared before him.

*PING*...you've received a mineral, 'Blue Rock Copper'.

*PING*...you've received a mineral, 'Magenta Rock Copper'.

*PING*...you've received a mineral, 'Orange Rock Copper'.

*PING*...you've received...

He studied the little rock-like mineral with cylinder-ish protrusions on his hands.

[Blue Rock Copper]: Type: Mineral, Grade: Powerful(Dark Blue), Properties: Mineral used for defensive equipment of its own grade.

[Magenta Rock Copper]: Type: Mineral, Grade: Valuable(Light Blue), Properties: Slightly misused mineral used for all kinds of equipment of its own grade.

And like that, he received a bunch of items. He didn't had much surprise and merely acted with prudence, taking in all of those material that he'd need to use in a few day's time to create more and more equipment to only disassemble and create more and more equipment.

He was hella ready to lose his time doing these things and he couldn't even feel wasteful even if he tried, he began Rising Essence as a form of finding a reason to live. Now he has not one, but many, and he even has plans for a future. What the fuck would he hesitate on?

Immediately after figuring out how this thing worked, Tongqiu proceeded to disassemble more of his useless gear. Goodbye to Demoniacal Defenders, Durable Iron Boots, Brimstone Heavy Bracers and Bloodstained Iron Armguard!

Once he was over with them, he instead went ahead to get rid of the rest of his even more useless gear on his inventory bag that he looks down upon so much ever since receiving the True Wish relic. He moved fast and experienced as if he's done this for years and only stopped 2 hours after, when noon arrived and was now time to have a meal with the maids and girls.

Having already checked the room's functions, he disconnected inside the mid-small room at once.

. . .

 

After coming back from a nice, cute little meal with Yao Yao cheery attitude and Itnia's 'professional' affectionate glances as well as Naty and Diana's touches, he went back to work and there were as expected, a lot of time left, namely 08:33:50.

He didn't began practicing forging and instead went inside his White Space to do some other things, like concocting!

*PING*... you've successfully concocted: Kindness Low-Potion , result is as follows: quantity: 5, quality: Top, difficulty: Medium-Intermediate.

*PING*... you've successfully concocted: Kindness Low-Potion , result is as follows: quantity: 6, quality: Top, difficulty: Medium-Intermediate.

*PING*... you've successfully concocted: Benevolent Low-Potion , result is as follows: quantity: 3, quality: Top, difficulty: Low-Intermediate.

*PING*... you've successfully concocted: Benevolent Low-Potion , result is as follows: quantity: 8, quality: Top, difficulty: Low-Intermediate.

*PING*... you've successfully concocted: Benevolent Low-Potion , result is as follows: quantity: 7, quality: Top, difficulty: Low-Intermediate.

*PING*... you've successfully concocted: Benevolent Low-Potion , result is as follows: quantity: 4, quality: Top, difficulty: Low-Intermediate.

'Phew.'

Tongqiu had been sweating bullets like no end when he went ahead towards the Somber Tree region to rage upon the ire of Demons and the Somber Tree that pathetically died, in one way or another, at the hands of lustful, greedy and cruel players' hands.

He once again replenished his bag with at least 722 Benevolent Low-Potions and 302 Kindness Low-Potions in total.

He also leveled up his grade at gardener quite a few minor grades as he was now an intermediate-top gardener, hardwork is good, he learnt that from little Itnia.

His miner sub-class was still at intermediate though, since he's so really lazy to go out again like that, maybe once he created better yet tools for mining he'd then go ahead and mine those high leveled zones or wherever the fuck was good to do so.

Then he looked at his blacksmith sub-class, still at basic grade with no Experience whatsoever. He immediately went forwards and exited his Tonkia-less and Irllytia-less White Space.

When he returned, the timer was satisfactorily at 8:32:12. Meaning that he wasted no time by being at his own White Space even if he entered it on the mid-small room. After nodding a few times in admiration, Tongqiu headed towards the 'little' forge and sighed a little in helplessness.

'Little' forge because it was literally minuscule compared to those in the articles for blacksmithing in his Forge and Create branch. However, he didn't sigh because of that, no no, he never sighs in vain. The reason of why, it was because he couldn't just steal this forge from this little blacksmith's shop, that'd be against Natalia's principle, which he follows in endearment. In any case, he couldn't use it just like how he gathered a garden all for himself, well, thanks to the slumbering Rosey.

What he could storage inside his White Space though, was a disassembler! But, he didn't wanted this 'meh' grade one, he wanted one that was quite suited to his tastes... In any case, he wouldn't buy it from this blacksmith's shop since he knew what kind of other disassemblers existed, once again thanks to his Forge and Create.

Damn, Tongqiu even stopped moving altogether. Where he had no Forge and Create sub-class branch, he'd be stupidly wasting money, even if it was little money. It gnarled away at one's dignity!

Tongqiu, now full of free time -though he wouldn't mind at all coming out of Rising Essence should something happened to any of his personnel or women-, finally made contact with the solitary, needy forge in the room.

It was time to blacksmith!
