Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 246: Peaceful Daylight

The third event, the Black and Silver Earthspider, began.

It was the first special mission [Earthspider Manufacturing Plan] announced at the same time in Wade, Sakao, and Kiyo.

The first phase of the event, "Manufacturing Phase”, began, and the collectors (collectors) who were waiting for it began releasing the accumulated material.

Competition in three cities has made progress everywhere noticeable, but at present, it seems that Wade, who is demographically profitable, is taking the lead.

"Did Mr. Reggie give you the materials you had?

"Oh, it was only about 3% of the total."

We gathered on the ground floor of the White Deer Monastery and watched the progress of events in each city as control towers everywhere rushed back to kill players trying to carry out their mission.

I've already poured all the Ore I've collected into my mission, and I've packed my Collection Skills into my cartridge, so I don't feel like collecting new ones.

Letty and I have nothing in particular to do in the “manufacturing phase” because she is a fighter in the first place.

"Sakao seems to have made about five percent progress on his own by famous luxury merchants."

"Seriously, how many items have I delivered...."

I couldn't help but feel the words of Lacto watching the live event thread on the bulletin board.

It's hard to imagine the amount of material that slightly exceeds the amount of items I sweat and collect.

"Amatumara seems to be booming because of the explosion in demand for ore. The miners were picked up and stuffed, and the fighters were driven out to escort them."

"The mission is quite delicious. I was hoping that you would get materials that are difficult to collect."

I speak to a gray-haired blacksmith who sat down in the corner of the round table.

"High purity nanodust, BB circuits. I need a lot of materials and processes, and if I want to make a bundle of them, I'm glad I get an item that's so annoying to die for."

This kind of delicious assignment is also the highlight of the event.

Neva tilts the cup of tea.

This time, she was also invited to this White Deer Monastery due to circumstances.

"But I was supposed to be able to do most of it with the materials I collected. It's gotten pretty big."

"We decided to proceed in parallel in three places, and since the" earthspider ”became larger than the“ floating spider ”, we had to strengthen the filament. It's going to be a lot of materials."

I have delivered all the items I have prepared, and despite the fact that other war-torn collectors are still pouring in items with great momentum, the rate of progress is only increasing at a rate that seeps into the water.

There are many reasons, but the biggest one is to make the event the scale it deserves.

Of course, there was no city that could take 100% of the progress in one day, and it was expected that this “manufacturing phase” alone would take about 4-5 days.

Speaking of which, Neva was in contact with the operator, too.

Well... All of a sudden, I was surprised to hear from the spider. "

"I'm really sorry about that passage...."

Glittering rugged eyes turned towards me and raised his head deeply.

I wasn't expecting the Kusanagi to suddenly contact Neva.

Regardless, Neva was responsible for reviewing the wire structure and necessary materials, as requested by Kusanagi, and converting them to something commensurate with the scale of the event.

Part of this was the expansion of the "earthspider” from about 3 to 10 people initially assumed.

"As a result, it was hard for people to come to the workshop every day."

"There are a lot of people who want to get involved in the planning of events right now."

Neva nods at Lacto's words.

I got caught up casually, so I put a lot of effort and effort into her.

She was lurking in the White Deer Monastery because she was hiding from the players who visited the workshop.

"But it's really quiet here."

Neva looks away from the hustle and bustle and says.

Surrounded by large buildings, Shiraka-an, which is separated from the main avenue by "New Heaven and Earth", is in peace itself even though it does not allow intrusion by anyone other than the authorized one.

Especially since "Shin-Heaven" asks others not to use the door leading to Shiraka-an, no stranger will come from there.

"Can Neva join the White Deer Monastery?

"I won't let that happen. Originally, I'm more in line with sex, and I'm attached to that workshop."

In response to Amy's suggestion, Neva shook her head.

She didn't seem particularly surprised that she knew the answer.

"As usual, Shiraka-an is a good customer and I want you to stay together forever."

"I want Letty to make a lot of new hammers!

"Oh, speaking of which, Neva. Can I ask you to fix a machine spear?

I remember what Letty always wanted me to say.

While expanding the machine spear and passing it to Neva, I will list the improvements I felt as I continued to use it.

Letty's machines were too, but the weapon named Trial was easier to reinforce later, and Neva preferred to use the system.

"I see. I can play with it and implement it now."

"Really? We don't have any blacksmith production facilities."

Shiraka-an doesn't have any other members who are working on production skills besides me.

I only have half my hobby skills, so I don't have any fancy facilities like Neva's workshop.

But I knew that, and I took a little cube out of my inventory and put it on the floor.

Say "Portable Forge." It's going to be a lot harder to manufacture, but I have production equipment that I can carry. "

Saying, she unfolds the cube.

With the patter and surface unfolding, the pale silver cube slowly turns into a forgery with a compact furnace and gold floor.

Sounds like Mr. Reggie's tent.

"In fact, we can expand it in the field. As you can see, it takes a lot of time, it's chaotic, and there are emergency repair multimaterials, so there's not much time."

Neva boasts toward a toca that brightens her eyes to an unusual sight.

There seems to be a woodworking workshop and a machine shop, and she always carries them all.

"I don't have anything else to carry with me, and I can use the weight of the golem."

The type that is also Neva's airframe - Golem has a huge advantage in the weight limit it holds.

For this reason, it is convenient to bring in a large amount of materials and produce them all at once, and there are many production jobs.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"A snake squad is a full-fledged field investigation specialist? Sure, there are times when you're investigating unknown materials while strengthening your weapons on the ground."

Neva beats a spear hot in the furnace with a big jar.

The black metal bars at her disposal changed shape and structure.

"Is blacksmithing a rhythm game?"

"That's how it feels. There are markers that tell where to strike the surface of the weapon and how hard to strike it, so aim for it and drop the hammer. Add materials at the right time."

Just because you're a blacksmith doesn't mean you do the same work as you do in real life.

In the case of blacksmiths, the rhythmic shaking of the knife shapes the weapon and armor of interest.

But Letty and I are free until the production phase is over.

Looking at the progress gauge, Letty pointed her mouth boringly.

The “manufacturing phase” of this event is basically when producers and collectors are active, in the meantime, Letty, who is a fighter of the tights, will not do it.

Then I thought I would accept an escort request, but I don't really like it either.

"Yes, Reggie. I've added the features as requested. I made it a little longer."

"Thank you. - Yeah, it feels good."

While Letty is blurring, Neva's work is over and an improved spear returns to me.

Shake gently to make sure it's easier to handle and give her the money.

"Well, Letty. If you're free, can I go out with you for a while?

Neva turned to Letty when she had finished her work.

Suddenly, Letty leaned her neck to her invitation.
