"Hmmm... that's not good..."

Sigh, standing in the corner of the workshop with the prototype you created.

Although the specs were secured as requested by the client, it became a stale sword that was neither more nor less.

I guess that's not a problem as a merchant. But I'm only a blacksmith. What I want to build is always a weapon with the best specs.

"I don't feel comfortable making swords..."

I may be serious about being a blacksmith, but I don't really like making swords.

It's not that I hate it, but I'm not motivated anyway. I'm going to be more serious than making it, but I guess that's no when people ask me if I'm being put in everything.

Hold your unstoppable sigh somehow and hit the hammer on your last request today.

Though the systematic pinching of this act improves performance slightly, if you talk about it, you can also create a product there by specifying the material and activating the skill.

It's my detention not to do that.

Even though I know I can produce instantly, I think waving a hammer in front of the furnace is my job as a forger.

Nevertheless, I sometimes use that method, which is also commonly referred to as simplified production.

Because in simplified production, you can reproduce a weapon that you created once. Is it like a recipe for cooking if you like? Once you have the exact same material, you can create a weapon that has the same performance as the weapon you created once. The same applies to protective equipment and accessories.

Conversely, simplified production cannot be used unless it has been created once. If you're going to increase your repertoire as a blacksmith, you're going to have to wave the hammer in front of the furnace without crossing it.

Items that nevertheless emphasize numbers and uniform quality, such as thrown items, can be better-produced in mass in simple production.

Although the fields are different, potions and the like may not be profitable unless the production method is used separately in development and sales.

Ten minutes in time and a little. I shelved the sword I had built and left the workshop.

I also have some space in my house where I divide most of the area into workshops and warehouses for breaks.

I had over twenty production requests today, so I've been pounding steel through it for nearly four hours now and I'm tired of boulders.

"Phew... I don't know if the event is near... I'm tired of all this unpleasant production..."

I want to make a strike weapon.

In my mind, I've been smoking those thoughts.

That reminds me of one player I met about a week ago.

The first player to defeat Named in a solo. A player skilled ghost who uses a minor race called Ghostman, prefers to use a striking weapon, and uses the unpopular skill of throwing.

I remember the boulder laughing at me too when I saw you using a play item in battle called Split Copper that I gave you to try.

The iron balls that I've sold since then seem to be used better than copper, and, oh, I guess I won't run out of forgery profits.

Although it was slightly shocking to have destroyed the Kugelschreiber after half a day, it was one of his superiors, the Murder Princess, who fought.

Besides, he also fought the unidentified named, so he didn't want to blame it on the boulder.

The Meteo Impact Zero formula, a masterpiece all over me, still seems to be using it a little bit, and the snake meta gauntlet was giving me enough disclosure.

I can think of any weapon that suits her. Melee weapons like blackjack, or special weapons like nunchucks or three-knuckle sticks.

It's hard to throw away the two-handed stick skills because they seem to have taken it.

Not a hammer type like the Meteor Impact Zero formula, but an orthodox mace type two-handed mace would also look great. No, on the contrary, a weapon like a hammer (rinse) is also very good for appearance. Let me hold that in both hands and let it wiggle. That should be funny.

A whip would be nice. She would take it easy on me. It's a technical but very flexible weapon to fight, and it's easy to grant cutting attributes if you're a whip.

Most importantly, if you can even get me that skill I discovered the other day, I want to make a "double stick" or something, and if you can get me that, I want to make an "arr"...!

"Ha... you shouldn't... tired and craving..."

But most regrettably, in that her favorite weapon is a golden bar from the store.

If she could hold up my special gold bars instead of such a mass produced product, she would be able to fight harder and more beautifully.

Yes, let's design a gold bar today. I would prefer something more destructive than the light steel alloy gold bars she uses now.

How about using impact steel and fire attribute materials to create impact at the moment of impact?

Endurance consumption will be greater, but the destructive power of each blow should jump nearly double. Secure endurance by placing the snake meta in your core... but if you do that with every blow, will the speed disappear from the fight? Then can't you incorporate it as a mechanism?

"Ugh, Ugh, Ugh... hey?

As I was writing and punching specifications on the blueprint, I heard knocking on the front door.

I didn't expect any visitors. With that in mind, I head to the front door and open the door.

"Oh hey... this is what I just said waiting for you to come..."

"What are you talking about?

Standing at the end of the door was a brunette ghost tribe wrapped around a red rusty kimono.

Exactly now, I honestly couldn't contain my excitement at the appearance of a player who was stirring my delusions.

"Fair enough...... hiccup, ha-ru"

"Yeah, it's been a while... Mr. Skna"

"I mean, no... are you sure you want more than one weapon in preparation for the event...?

"Yeah. Because I brought all kinds of materials"

"Hey... you can also bring in materials... then it will be a little cheaper..."

Last time I had to put a fair price on it because I had all the materials and processing here, except if you can prepare the materials.

"Good. I brought this much today."

Wait in anticipation to loosen your cheeks and mess with your menu card.

"This is it."

"... oh my god..."

The amount of material presented by Mr. Skuna was so massive that there seemed to be heavy problems in bringing it alone.

"Snake meta ingots over forty... well brought..."

"Because you've only gained muscle strength since then. Still, it was heavy."

"Ho ho... I've thought it through..."

"And do I look like I can use the material around here?

Mr. Skna focused on two attribute materials.

It was a crimson jewel and water dragon crystal.

Although they both have knowledge, Crimson Jewels are probably unavailable now. This is only a key item for synthesizing a fire attribute material into a metal material, because this does not in itself have a flame attribute.

No, of course, although the story changes if Mr. Skna has the material for the fire attribute, according to my information network, no fire attribute material has been discovered that is powerful enough to use this item as it is at present.

Then even red metal, which was misplaced in earlier materials, will be enough in time, and rare items should be left behind.

On the other hand, dragon crystals of water cannot be used because they themselves possess high water attributes, but this one, on the contrary, is not compatible with metal materials.

Explaining that, Ms. Skna has shown some new monster material.

"Is there anything I can possibly use?

"Not really... To be honest, I think it would be auspicious not to use it now..."

"Oh well. That's fine. It's a rare material, so I wanted to ask you all about it."

You didn't expect so much originally, Mr. Skna doesn't even show great disappointment.

I know you'll want to use rare materials as soon as you get them, but unlike all-in-one named materials, this kind of thing isn't complete with one of them.

Well, that named material is also just excellent material without the key Soul.

That hair decoration of hers, perhaps embodied by Soul, makes me very curious about what the hell it does.

I made my own Mellow Rapier. I know how much the named "Soul" has a flying effect.

In view of the fact that the recipe for simplified production was not refined, production using "Soul" would also have quite a special significance.

However, Hihirokane didn't show up when I made it. So were the other two, and I wonder if it's the difference between weapons and protective gear, but it was quite a strange story.

However, the more rare the material, not just the metal, the more powerful the effect can be granted.

It would never be strange to want to know what effect was conferred on the finest metal called Hihiirokane.

"Hey... I have a few suggestions for you this time too..."

"Proposal?"

I was all kinds of paranoid until earlier, but if Mr. Skuna actually comes and leaves me with so much material, there's something I'd like to try and see, even for me.

"Yep... there are a bunch of strike weapons that Skna would like you to use... this event means a dungeon event... I can't make too many long items..."

"Right. There's nothing unusable about it, but it might be a good size to hold with one hand."

"There you go... I'm using the snake meta you brought me this time... I'm going to try to refine Overheavy Metal..."

"Overheavy metal?"

"Overheavy Metal". It is the first ultra-high density heavy metals that can be purified even by massively dissolving dense, high weight snake metals and removing even more unlimited amounts of impurities.

Refining requires a fairly high "Forge Master" skill, failing which only creates garbage.

Use 10 snake methane gots and if you can refine two or three, you can do it well. If you want to build one weapon, you need to collect twenty snake methane gots, and almost no one can hold them because they are far heavier than snake meta.

Endurance and attack power increased dramatically for that matter, and with the exception of its super weight, it could also be said to be the most suitable material for striking weapons at the moment.

"I need two snake methane gots to make one overweight metal... I have about 50% purification success... 40 pieces would be great if I could purify 10 overweight metals combined..."

"That's all you can make a weapon of?

"If you have five, you can make one for sure..."

"Yeah, then please. I'll take care of it."

Very lightly, Mr. Skna has ceded snake meta to me.

I haven't even signed a contract yet.

"Um, Mr. Skna... the contract guy. Huh..."

"Oh, I forgot. Um, but overheavy metal doesn't mean we can definitely refine it, does it? Then I hope it can be refined."

Sure it is. Nevertheless, don't you think about insurance when you've ruined all the snake meta or something like that?

Contracts are not necessarily the only ones that can be concluded when armaments are created. Only to confirm the agreement between the two sides.

"Hmm? What's wrong?

I don't know why I'm confused, she was staring at me with that look on her face.

Maybe this guy is the type who doesn't really think about doubting people. The type where you can just give up and trump someone if they betray you rather than trust you unconditionally.

So I can casually create tangles with people I don't know. On the other hand, I'm probably hardly attached to cutting it off either.

Mr. Skna treats me as a very good person if I sincerely hang out with him, and he's someone I can be a good friend to. There is eagle frying to solve jokes, and Nori is never bad.

However, if you lose credibility, the connection will be disconnected at that point. Kind in a way, maybe very dry mental structure in a way.

"In the meantime, I want you to make gold bars. I wonder if the rest depends on the number of overheavy metals?

"That's right... I think it will..."

"Whoa. So, when you're done refining, can you skip me a message?

"Ok... let's exchange messages about creating more weapons... you can also deliver weapons via message..."

When I said so, Mr. Skna tilted his neck.

"Is that something that you can exchange with a message about the delivery of weapons?

"On the contrary, why didn't they think they could? Sooo...?

"No, look. In the meantime, he came all the way to Dualis. I thought we had to meet in person."

"Oh... he's a little special..."

Now I know the reason for Mr. Skuna's doubts, but when it comes to murdering princesses, he's set to not accept messages in the first place. By the way, I can send it from over there.

So you have to go out of your way for me to go outside Dualis and take it.

How do you know when to hand it over? If they ask, they're just timing the handover when they actually meet. And then I know if I'm logged in or not because I'm a friend.

"If you're logged in, you're free anyway, right?" What a flat out thing to say is new to my memory, and by then I was already out of strength.

I don't care because I like paying money and delivering materials, but I can be a player with the type of restraints I would prefer to refrain from if there were no profits.

Well, it's a good part of the game to be involved with people like that.

"Mr. Skna is going to go around the event this time...? Then don't stay long with Dualis..."

"I guess...... yeah, I guess I'll get back to Fierce soon"

"Do that... oh, so... throw weapons, if they're running out, refill them. No... I'll take the money but hey..."

"Hehe, I have a lot of money"

Having said that with pleasure, Mr. Skna bought me off most of the throwing items I had prepared.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This guy's the only one who buys it, so I'm having trouble keeping it in stock.

"See you next time!

"Take care..."

Skna, who bought me one weapon in addition to many items, left with a willingness to wave well.

Seeing her behind me, I felt like this was going to be some very good day.

"Hey... suppose it takes to refine overheavy metal while looking for promising stocks in the third party..."

Work is work. When I pushed the furnace temperature up to more than double what I normally would, I threw the snake meta ingot I had given way into the furnace.
