286. Exchange of information with professors
The day after we learned the skills [the source of magic] to be able to remember both [spiritual sorcery] and [original sorcery] safely, we exchanged information with the professor to give him this information.
The time is scheduled for the evening before and around 4 p.m. with a designation from the professor.
After all the errands we have to do during the day, we log in and wait for the professor to come to the clan home while we do our production activities.
Yuki prepared drinks and tea treats while waiting for the professor.
And at around 3: 40 p.m. in real time, the professor contacted me and said he was headed this way.
They're already on their way here because they know we're logged in.
Speaking of professors, they seem to be professors, but as always, it is because the information for the purpose is in front of them.
The professor was already waiting when he finished the production work in a good place in Kiri and headed to the conversation room.
"You're here. Now, let us hear the results of the investigation."
"Well, well, Professor. Yuki and Yuki have been here ever since."
"Um, so is that. But I just want to hear the conclusions first. [Spiritual sorcery] and [Original sorcery], can you remember both now?
"Oh, I can do that now. Not until we have all the details."
"I see. I would also like to report the status of the investigation. Start as soon as you're ready."
Not long after my professor and I sat down, Yuki and Yuki showed up.
"Damn, you're here too early than meet time. It's the same thing."
"Hello, Professor. First, we'll hand out drinks and tea treats."
"Um, do me a favor. And I can't stand still when people ask me that the information I've been waiting for is in front of me."
"... okay. Shall we now proceed to the exchange of information? Let's start with our findings."
Yuki is expected to take her seat, and Yuki will report her findings.
I've already reported [Spiritual Magic] and [Original Magic] to the professor, and each researcher has moved to an academic city to tell them that a quest was occurring, so that's why.
Well, even with that going on, the explanation is pretty short because you just defeat the monster under certain conditions, just like before.
"... and that's why I completed my Secret Quest. The resulting reward is the [source of magic] skill."
"Hmm, is it [the source of magic]? What is the effect of this?
"I will only raise the starting one because of various things, but simultaneous acquisition of [Spirit Magic] and [Original Magic] is possible, acquisition of [Spirit Magic] and [Original Magic] is reduced SP, magic and magic skills are enhanced and consumption MP is reduced, cool-time is reduced, etc."
"That's another diverse skill. If that was all a powerful skill, it would have required the corresponding cost?
"I'll explain from here. [The source of magic] certainly needed a corresponding cost. I normally tried to get it and the consumption SP was 50"
"Yeah? When you get it normally? Was there another way to get it?
"Oh. I had extra event points for the summer holiday event, so I traded them for platinum skill tickets and tried to see if I could remember them with skill tickets. Then they'll remember [the source of magic] with platinum skill tickets. Thanks to this, I was able to get skills without SP consumption."
"It was thought that the maximum SP for platinum skill tickets was 40, but even 50 can be obtained. I also leave a platinum skill ticket, so I'll try it when I can remember [the source of magic]."
"I like that. Also, when you learn [Source of Magic], your [Spirit Sorcery] and [Original Sorcery] spending SP drops to 30, so you can remember it with your Gold Skill Ticket."
"That's good information, too. … although it is doubtful how many players are left with platinum or gold skills tickets"
"You don't know that far.... In the meantime, that's more than we can talk about here. Any supplements from Yuki or Yuki?
"Yeah. Nothing in particular."
"Well, there's nothing I need to add."
"... let's see. [Source of Magic] That's all the information on the tangle."
"Um, I got it.... Then I wonder if you guys are the first to get [the source of magic]."
"So there's a player who's clearing the quest before us?
"Mm-hmm. Because it's an operation here, there seems to be a bonus of about the title for the first clearer. I didn't have it this time."
"... well, it was too late to look into our skills, and I can't help it."
"That's right. And I'm curious about the conditions under which the event that leads to [the source of magic] occurs."
"Occurrence conditions? Don't you just talk to each magic researcher?
"I'm pretty sure that's the trigger. But there are players whose events happen and players who don't."
"Really? You think we don't know the terms yet?
"That's right. Now we are looking at the situation of players that have occurred and players that have not. By the way, I'm on the side of the event."
"Right. But we didn't have a special flag either, did we?
"It's okay. I don't remember flagging anything other than talking. Therefore, other parameters appear to be a condition. Well, by the end of the month, we think we'll be able to narrow it down."
"I hope so. Exactly, because we can't re-investigate anymore."
"I know. The rest of the members of the Library don't seem to have developed much magical skills, so they won't ask the Library to cooperate with them any more."
"... it sounds like you're asking us to cooperate with the investigation, other than us?
"We are asking for help in the 'White Night'. Even then, you can't miss this information that leads to the strengthening of magician players."
"Well, I guess so. Even if we don't cooperate in the investigation, if the information is lifted, we'll be actively listening to it, and it's cheap given the benefits of information ahead of time."
"That's what you said, White Wolf. … but even the members of" White Night "haven't had a secret quest without an event happening."
"... well, I guess I should think the number of samples has increased"
"I guess I just have to think so. … Well, that's OK for [the source of magic]"
"Well, I don't think there's anything more I can teach you."
"Some of them, including me, are going as far as Secret Quest orders. In a few days, you'll have [the source of magic] skills."
"That's good. Then let's end this story."
"Um, it doesn't matter. … Now we are going to report our findings on the enhancements we were investigating"
Well, from our side, here's the real deal.
I wonder how far the 'index' can go to find out.
"We want you to receive this skillbook first.... Oh, I also have some 'library' members who aren't here, so I'd like you to give them to me later."
That's what the professor gave me. The skillbook's skill name was "Enhanced Crystal Appraisal".
"Professor, what is this..."
"As the skill name suggests, it is a skill capable of appraising the effects of a group of items called 'enhanced crystals'. When acquired, skills are added to special skills."
"I see. You don't mind if I get this?
"I gathered them to give them to you. If you don't get it, you're in trouble."
"Is that true, too? Then I won't hesitate to use it."
Skills for [Enhanced Crystal Appraisal] were acquired using the skills book received.
Looking at the list of skills, you do add [Enhanced Crystal Appraisal] to the classification of special skills.
Yuki and Yuki also seem to have learned their skills using their skillbook.
"Well, then you seem to have learned your skills. Then it is the next phase. I want you to look at these enhanced crystals."
The professor began to line up a large number of items on his desk.
Apparently, these are the items they call 'enhanced crystals'.
I'll try to identify one of the crystals that was nearby.
The following indications were then displayed:
―――――――――――――――――――――――
STR Enhanced Crystal 6-Star
Enhanced crystals that increase STR by synthesizing with equipment
Rise value: 26-35
―――――――――――――――――――――――
"... Hmm, is this the enhanced crystal of STR"
"This is the enhanced crystal of DEX."
"What I have here is an INT enhancement crystal. I see, with your skills, you can examine the effects of enhanced crystals."
"That's the thing. With that skill, you can find out which crystals will have which statuses and attributes."
"I see. Wasn't it just completely random?"
"That's right. Besides, you can actually know which status or attribute is in the color and shape of the enhanced crystal."
"Really?
"Um, it is. For example, if it's a crystal in the shape of a yellow horn in a status-enhanced crystal, it can be distinguished by color and form, as I said if it's a yellow sphere, it's INT."
Well, the more it spreads, the better it doesn't seem to have to be appraised.
"Most of all, the attribute-enhanced crystals are a little tricky. For example, an aqueous sphere can be a fire attribute."
"... an intuitive feeling would suggest that the fire attribute is red."
"That's what I'm saying. It's a twisted operation."
"Well, it wouldn't be funny to know that easily."
"That's right. Anyway, if you have that skill, you can learn more about fortified crystals, so I want you to use it fully."
"Okay. So, can I ask you how to get fortified crystals?"
"It doesn't matter. Reinforced Crystals rarely drop when defeating Level 10 or higher Monsters. Quality ranges from 1 to 19 stars and from 20 to 29 stars."
"I see. So, how far is this information known?
"It's almost unknown. Now the aspirants are looking into things on the bulletin board, but you haven't gathered much information yet."
"... It's late September and I thought it was known to some extent."
"It's hard to get enhanced crystals. The drop rate is quite low. Samples don't seem to be collected for this."
"Still, I feel a little known."
"Looks like a lot of players hesitate to say if they can override it if they enhance their gear with reinforced crystals"
"By the way, have you looked into that area yet?
"Of course it is. It can be overridden. However, all you can do is overwrite it and you can't erase the effect."
"Can't you erase it? How many reinforced crystals can you set for a single piece of equipment?
"We haven't finished looking into it yet. All I know is that I could do one type of gear below 8 stars and two types of gear above 9 stars. And you can't use fortified crystals for Holy Spirit weapons."
"Copy that. Then we can verify this further."
"It will help if you do so. It's hard for us to verify equipment."
"Well, I guess so.... Speaking of which, where do you get [Enhanced Crystal Appraisal]?
"This is a reward for completing Level 65 + Raid Quests. They don't seem to have a very good chance of getting it, so they haven't been on the market yet."
"... you've collected six of those skills a lot"
"That's Conne as an information-based clan. Now, that's more than a report from me, is there anything you'd like to hear?
"You don't have me. How about you two?
"You don't have me. And Yuki?"
"Can fortified crystals also be used for consumables?
"Hmm. Speaking of which, you haven't tried. I want you to see if you can use it."
"Okay. I'll see what I can find out."
"I'm sorry, but I'm asking you.... Yes, Mr. Twa. Can I ask you something about Hihirokane?
"Uh... can we do this again? It's gonna be a long time."
"Well, you have no choice. Then ask for the next chance."
If you have interactions with "White Night," you can hear the story of Hihirokane too.
Well, you can take him with you the next time you go.
"Well, that's open for you today. … Oh, these fortified crystals are to be presented together. I want you to help me verify it."
"That would help. I didn't really want to buy fortified crystals because they were pricey on the market."
"I don't think I miss you enough to worry about some expenses?
"You still care."
"It's not a good idea to save too much money. You should use the money you're saving up a little on this occasion."
"I'll think about it. See you later, Professor."
"Um, again. Now if you'll excuse me."
Once the professor has dropped off his return, it is a quick validation task with the fortified crystals he has received.
Don't even feel nostalgic because this is the first production skill verification I've had in a long time.
Well, then, shall we get our hands on it from where we can start?
