Sina’s worries proved to be unfounded as the issue of going to the village was easily resolved. First, I opened the Housing Information Window and added their names to the list of people allowed entry, then handed them Return Scrolls and that was it.
Thus, they returned to my house, looked around the interior, and soon spoke in voices filled with admiration.
“Is this Rudin-nim’s house?”
“It’s amazing. I heard it’s impossible to get a house even if you want one.”
“Really?”
“I’m telling you. That’s why house prices are incredibly expensive. A house like this would be worth at least tens of millions of won, right?”
‘Is it that expensive?’
Well, even if you have the money, you can’t get a house in Twilight. Moreover, since you need a mansion in Twilight to use a Return Scroll, every player wanted one, and thinking about it that way, the price wasn’t incomprehensible.
“Um, Rudin-nim. Could we also use this house?”
“Use it?”
“Yes. If Rudin-nim just gives us Return Scrolls, we can come to the village instantly.”
It seemed they wanted to use my house for returning, just like I used Aizen’s house before I got this mansion.
‘Well, I don’t mind, do I?’
They were some of the few people I knew in Twilight, and I didn’t think it would be as crowded as Aizen’s house, so I readily agreed.
“Ah, but I’ll leave potions on that table. Then I won’t have to meet you in person to give them to you.”
“Huh? Is that possible?”
“Anyone can take an item if you drop it, right? So, I can just drop them on the table.”
Now that I heard it, it was true.
“Yes, please do that.”
“Wow!~”
Sina seemed noticeably delighted, perhaps thinking that she could now return to the village instantly. Similarly, although Yua didn’t express it outwardly, she seemed pleased inwardly, which was also satisfying.
‘Ah, right.’
I told them something I hadn’t mentioned yet.
“By the way, Return Scrolls are 10 silver each.”
“Huh?”
“The price of a Return Scroll. They’re selling for 10 silver each.”
“……”
My words momentarily interrupted their joy, but they both gave me 1 gold each and received 10 Return Scrolls. They grumbled about the price, but they couldn’t help but buy the Return Scrolls that allowed them to come straight to the village.
[Friend ‘Raz’ has requested a conversation. Do you accept?]
Meanwhile, I received a message from Raz.
‘He must have gathered all the materials.’
Of course, it wasn’t strange that he had gathered all the materials after wasting several hours to obtain the Lashifier. Besides, Raz had lost his weapon, so there was nothing he could do but gather materials.
He must have gathered them like his life depended on it.
‘But would that really take hours?’
That part felt strange, but I accepted Raz’s call.
[Connected to the conversation.]
━Rudin! I got all the materials!
“Where are you? No, come to the front of the bank.”
━The bank? Okay. I’ll be right there.
[Conversation ended.]
The conversation ended in a flash. He must have been really in a hurry. Anyway, I looked at the girls who were still preoccupied with looking around the house and said,
“Then I’ll be going.”
“Yes? Where are you going?”
“Raz asked for my help. We’ve finished the quest we aimed for anyway.”
“Ah…… That’s right. See you later.”
After Yua’s last words, I went outside and headed straight to the bank. The bank was located close to my house, so I arrived quickly, and after waiting for a few minutes in front of the bank, I saw Raz running towards me from afar.
“Phew, you were waiting. Did you wait long?”
“No, not really. Just give me the materials.”
“……For some reason, you seem cold.”
Muttering something, Raz handed over the materials he presumably gathered. They looked significantly different from the materials he gave me before.
Could he have gotten even better materials than before?
“Here, lastly, the recipe.”
“You even bought the recipe?”
“I have to make a better weapon if I can.”
‘A better weapon……’
He wasn’t wrong. Anyway, after finishing the transaction, I took out the recipe and materials Raz gave me from the Item Storage and decided to examine them one by one.
[Wind Trajectory Recipe]
Description: A recipe that allows you to craft Wind Trajectory. Depending on the grade of the materials, you can craft a Longbow up to Unique grade.
*Required materials: (Wind Attribute Ingot x7), (Spirit’s Crystal x1), (Leather x1), (String x1), (Wind Stone x2)
*Abilities gained upon completion:
━Wind Attribute Conversion.
━Penetration Probability.
━D~A Rank Bow-related Passive Skill.
━Spirit Fusion Attack.
‘Huh? A recipe that can craft up to Unique?’
This was the first time I saw a recipe that could craft up to Unique. Wouldn’t the price of this recipe alone be incredibly expensive? Moreover, the required materials were not ordinary either.
[Ikarium Ingot (Wind Attribute)] (Magic)
Description: An ingot smelted from a special mineral that can contain attributes. Originally, Ikarium has no attribute, but Wind Attribute was infused during the smelting process. Weapons and armor made with this ingot have a high probability of possessing Wind Attribute.
*Material Value 20.
[Spirit’s Crystal] (Magic)
Description: A crystal condensed with the energy of spirits. Also known as Spirit Stone. However, while existing Spirit Stones are naturally occurring stones, Spirit’s Crystal is artificially created.
*Material Value 21.
[Moonlight Wolf Leather] (Magic)
Description: The leather of the Moonlight Wolf, said to roam only at specific times. This mystical leather, which faintly glows in the dark, is said to possess the power of the moon.
*Material Value 17.
[Steel Knot String] (Magic)
Description: A string that is as strong as steel and unbreakable. It retains the characteristics of steel. Weapons like bows and crossbows made with this material have a high chance of gaining additional stats.
*Material Value 15.
“……”
“How is it? Not bad, right?”
I didn’t know if it was good, but he seemed to have prepared thoroughly. Especially Ikarium, it was the first time I’d seen it as someone with crafting skills. Did Twilight even have this kind of ore? Anyway, after examining the materials with a stunned look, I asked Raz,
“How much did you spend?”
“About 20 gold? And I also spent about 500,000 won in cash.”
“……You spent a lot.”
Spending hundreds of thousands of won just on materials.
‘But things have gotten a bit tricky.’
The situation was different from when I made him a weapon before. Now I had S-Rank crafting skills and a Rare-grade crafting hammer. If I used Intuition on top of that, it was hard to even imagine what kind of weapon would come out.
Should I make it without using Intuition?
Of course, even if I made it without Intuition, it would be better than the weapon I made before. But on the other hand, I thought it would be a waste to just craft with materials worth hundreds of thousands of won. I pondered for a moment, and Raz, noticing my hesitation, cautiously asked,
“What’s wrong? Is it because the material value is too high?”
“Material value? Ah, it’s reasonable.”
After all, the S-Rank crafting skill had 250 hammer strikes. The number of hammer strikes decreased depending on the Skill stat, so there was no way I couldn’t make something.
‘Well, it wouldn’t be bad to try with these materials.’
If the result was good, I could also get the recipe and materials and make one for myself. I needed better equipment to raid Beksha anyway.
‘First, the materials……’
Having decided to make it, I took out the Rare-grade hammer and anvil from the Item Storage and placed the materials Raz gave me on it.
[Materials have been placed. The number of hammer strikes will be determined based on the grade of the placed materials.]
[Related stat Skill (205) will be applied.]
[The number of hammer strikes will be reduced. Final number: 18.]
‘Reasonable.’
Moreover, I could strike the hammer 250 times, so even if I just hammered away mindlessly, a perfect weapon was guaranteed. The probability of a perfect weapon breaking was 17%. Well, it would be a problem if it didn’t break, but I wasn’t particularly worried.
Clang, clang, clang━
[Hammering is complete. Do you want to complete it?]
The required number of hammer strikes was finally over. A perfect weapon didn’t appear, but only for a moment. After a few more strikes, I saw the anvil change to a yellow light.
“Oh, it appeared, it appeared!”
“Not yet.”
I calmed down Raz, who was making a fuss, and used Intuition to draw out the remaining probability.
Flash!━
‘Phew.’
After using Intuition and a few more hammer strikes, I managed to draw out the last probability. I briefly looked at the anvil, which was emitting a golden light, and said shortly,
“Complete.”
[Piercing Wind Trajectory has been completed.]
As soon as the weapon was completed, several messages popped up as if they were waiting.
[Durability increased by 30 due to the effect of S-Rank Skill ‘Dreton’s Equipment Crafting’.]
[3 Enhancement effects have been applied due to the effect of S-Rank Skill ‘Dreton’s Equipment Crafting’.]
[Attack Power increased by 8% due to the effect of the item ‘Hammer of the Resentful Craftsman’.]
[Durability increased by 7% due to the effect of the item ‘Hammer of the Resentful Craftsman’.]
[Beep- The durability of the crafted item has reached its limit. If you desire higher durability, please increase the grade of the crafted item.]
‘3 Enhancement effects? Durability limit?’
I knew what the Enhancement effect was. It was an effect attached to the S-Rank crafting skill. However, the message about the durability limit was something I discovered for the first time today.
Well, should I check it out first?
[+3 Piercing Wind Trajectory] (Magic)
Description: A Longbow crafted with the perfect combination of Wind Attribute ore, Spirit’s Crystal to draw out its power, and Wind Stone to amplify the power of the wind. This Longbow, a perfect blend of three different yet similar forces, possesses the power to pierce through anything.
Attack Power: 680 (+169) Magic Attack Power: 135 (+33)
Durability: 300/300
*Penetration Probability increased by 50p.
*Enhancement Option (1): Penetration Damage increased by 5%.
‘Wow, was it this good?’
The attack power of the crafted weapon was almost insane. It was more than three times stronger than the Rare-grade weapon I had. Of course, it had this attack power because of the Enhancement applied, but even without it, it was a force to be reckoned with.
‘If I had changed my title, wouldn’t it have exceeded 700?’
I had already changed my title twice to deal with Beksha, so I deliberately didn’t change it this time. I thought the S-Rank skill, the Rare-grade hammer, and Intuition would be enough. But now, I felt a bit greedy, thinking it would have been nice to change the title as well.
Anyway, it’s a crazy weapon no matter how you look at it.
Not to mention the attack power, the Penetration Probability was 50p. Since the original Penetration Probability of a bow was 35p, it meant that it ultimately had an 85p probability.
What if I used a skill that increased Penetration Probability and attacked?
It seemed possible to inflict Penetration Damage with a 70-80% probability on players who weren’t holding shields.
‘Should I really give this to Raz?’
It was a weapon worth at least 10 million won. I was contemplating whether it was okay to give away such a weapon with just a few hundred thousand won investment when I suddenly noticed Raz looking at it with sparkling eyes.
“How did it go? Did the Penetration Probability appear?”
“See for yourself.”
With a sigh, I initiated a trade with Raz and handed him the bow. I didn’t know what Raz would think after checking this weapon, but I decided to trust the actions she had shown so far.
She wouldn’t go around bragging about it, would she?
Finally, after checking the bow, Raz made an expression close to shock.
“Wh, what is this? What kind of attack power…… No, the Penetration Probability too……”
“Don’t lose it again.”
“Ah, yeah. Of course. If I lose it, I’ll quit the game!”
Raz exclaimed, holding the bow tightly with both hands as if it were a treasure. In any case, today must be a jackpot for Raz.
I wondered if there was any weapon in Twilight that could surpass this one.
‘But it’s only Magic grade despite the S-Rank skill and those materials.’
I thought a Rare-grade weapon might come out, but the result was a Magic-grade weapon. It seemed that the grade of the materials was more important than the skill for crafting Rare-grade weapons.
Should I put in at least one Rare-grade material?
“But how did the Enhancement get applied? It’s even +3!”
“Well……”
I couldn’t honestly answer that it was because of the S-Rank skill, so I trailed off. I hoped it would just pass, but I thought it would be difficult. Surprisingly, Raz said casually as if it wasn’t a big deal,
“It seems you acquired a special item or skill.”
“Well, that’s right.”
To be precise, it was a skill.
“Anyway, thank you. Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Um, no. I don’t think so.”
“Really? Okay. If anything comes up, don’t hesitate to call me.”
Raz said, “See you next time~” and ran off somewhere. She probably wanted to test out her new weapon.
‘Well, she’s only been gathering materials until now.’
Anyway, since my business with Raz was over, it seemed like I could finally go to the Duel Arena.
