Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 695: "Coffee Shop Rhetoric"

After defeating Kaiser and gaining access to the third area [Water Serpent's Lake Marsh], the maples did not immediately move on to the other second area fields. I was hunting down the unbeaten Boss Enemies, gaining Source Stones, and using them to strengthen my abilities.

There were two types of ability enhancement using source stones. Core reinforcement to increase LP production volume, and cell expansion to increase the maximum LP volume.

The maple, in time, focused on the former.

"Even though Maple is in the vanguard." Are you sure it was good to strengthen the core? "

After defeating the field bosses in the first area three times and collecting the source stone for the number of people. The maples were relaxed in the box seats of Xintiandi.

Hu asks, grabbing Coke Parfait's straw with his fingertips. Typically, combat-style players with a high chance of taking direct damage in front of them, like maples, are advised to increase their LP by the maximum amount to avoid a single blow. Fu is following the stone and seems to be worried about the maple on my way.

It's okay. It seems that the Dual Sword Technique has the lowest LP cost.

"It's not like that, but if you died when you took the damage....."

You can avoid all attacks.

Fuu unexpectedly croakedly at the maple that lets out.

In the first place, the maple was made of lightweight fabric from equipment. I didn't think about getting shot from the edge, and seemed to focus more on sequential moves than on the edge.

"It's okay, I'll protect oniichan."

It was Momiji who was fighting Anmitsu Parfait.

There's nothing to protect, but I'm done with a single blow.

Fuuu blurts out and wipes the cream from the mouth.

Incidentally, Momiji focuses on cell multiplication while being a rearguard, as opposed to maple. This is because, unlike mechanics, LP consumption is quite low, and there is no need to focus on recovery speed.

It is the mechanics who most manage LPs in the game, and they consume a lot of LPs like hot water. Anything can be done with LP--that's why we can freeze the plains, but on the contrary, nothing can be done without LP. Therefore, after securing the cost of the surgical procedure you want to use, it is the stone that swings to the full speed of production.

“It might be an advantage for a pitcher not to think too much about LP.”

“That's right, I'm not very good at thinking about difficult things.”

Momiji barely consumes LP during battle except using the Throw technique. As long as the ampoule is thrown, the effect can be adjusted by simply changing its grade. LP consumption remains the same at both the top and bottom levels.

In short, it's a playstyle that's free from the hassle of LP management.

Instead, we need the instantaneous power to select items.

I can't help it.

We now have more Momiji gear.

The pink nurse's clothes are wrapped around a stunning belt and hung from her shoulders like a buckle. Everything is for quick use.

Momiji herself is a small fairy, and in battle, she has a rather strange appearance of a huge backpack that moves her belt legs in a mess.

"Momiji-chan's throwing a lot more stuff." Thanks to you, I'm very helpful. "

"Fufufu, that's good."

Momiji and Fu continued to level up their production skills while traveling around the bosses. Momiji is able to make even better quality ampoules and powerful throwing objects, and Hu also has an increasing culinary repertoire.

Speaking of which, Maple, isn't it time for you to improve your [Swordsmanship] skills?

Fu who was rubbing Momiji's soft cheeks suddenly turned towards the maple. Maple nodded in bewilderment as it drank green tea and gave a gentle expression.

I guess you've reached level 27.

"In that case, why don't you change from the red sheath to the next one?" Anyway, as soon as you enter the [Lake Snake Marsh], you'll be on your way up. "

Fu's suggestion made me nod like a maple.

The two-swinging "Red Sheath Sword" he was using had the required [Swordsmanship] skill level of 21. If you enhance this weapon, you'll need 10 levels of ability next.

That said, if you don't meet the required skill level, you can't use it. If you have 80% of that level, your performance will be weakened, but you won't be able to use it.

Upgrading to a new weapon to keep up with your skill level is a common choice.

That said, if we're going to strengthen it, we need to consult with Miturugi.

He showed a girl who had become three dedicated blacksmiths. She usually works in the workshop of the Damascus Union. Therefore, it was necessary to contact in advance if consulting.

I see. What is the origin of the red sheath?

Huu pushes down to the table and opens the wiki.

"There are many things. Weight systems, lightweight systems, metal systems, biological systems, and more." The red sheath is a good sword for anything. "

"Huh...? Whoa, whoa!"

the wiki page loads faster than it loads, and you hear voices coming from behind the fu. She nodded honestly and turned around in surprise.

"Hey, how about you get called and pop out of town?" It's Miturugi. "

"Mi, Miturugi-chan!? Why are you here...?"

Suddenly, Miturugi, the person in the vortex who was talking, appeared to the three of them.

As usual, the work clothes are broken and the wheat skin is peeking under the white tank top. However, there is no belt hanging from the tool that is usually wrapped around the waist. The blonde hair that was stacked in a bundle at the top is also grated down to the shoulder today.

"Even if you're a union member, you're not always working." I'd rather walk around town on my own. I'm just taking a break right now.

Having said that, Miturugi narrowed her pale eyes.

"It was boring to drink coffee alone, so if you don't mind, I'll talk to you."

"Are you okay? I'm sorry for the sudden..."

"It's okay." Now, if you'll excuse me. "

Miturgi waved his hand and sat down next to the maple. Soon, I started hearing about where to strengthen the "red sheath sword".

You said it was too light when you were wearing the blue sheath, but what does the red sheath look like?

"It's still light. It could be heavier." Please wait a little longer. "

Roger that. Are you strong enough?

"I'm shaking my legs and arms in half." There's plenty of room to spare. "

She pushes the opinions and requests she heard from the maple into the note window. While looking at the figure, Hu and Momiji ate quietly so as not to be disturbed.

"If you want to increase weight and attack power, it's basically metallic." It feels like a legitimate evolution, and it's usually strong. However, if you don't bring ingots, it might cost a lot of money. "

"I don't have much money. I don't have much money with me..."

The main recovery means of the party is the Momiji ampoule, and although it is handmade, it costs money. Moreover, the fact that the maple is a double-edged sword is one of the reasons why money is difficult to accumulate.

"The combo-strike system will cost you a lot of money to repair it." Two cigarettes. "

Miturgi, who was also in charge of repairing weapons, felt it with his own body. Maple is more of a battle style than a blow. Therefore, the damage to the weapon is severe, and it simply costs twice as much to handle both at the same time.

Furthermore, none of the party members have the Mine skill, so it is impossible to expect to bring in materials.

Well then, why don't we go to the biological system?

Biological system sounds like it's going to be annoying again.

While carrying the spoon with the white jade in her mouth, the maggot pinched her mouth. Miturgi laughed at it and repeated his words.

"The point is to use native dropped items to strengthen them." There are quite a few types, so I think I can be flexible with my requests. ”

"I see..."

In the meantime, don't you think you're stronger with your own items?

Reacting to Miturgi's question was the huu holding the party's wallet.

At some point, all the items from the hunt would be collected in Hu, and she would settle them in bulk, and the remaining items would be stored in her storage. As a result, maple and maple have few drop items.

I recently took a tour of the first boss area, so I've put together a few drop items.

Hmmm. If I had a rare drop, I could put it on the axis.

"Well then..."

Fu remembers what he had while referring to the drop items of each boss compiled in the wiki.

"Rubus' Flaming Angle" and "Kaiser's Claw". I'm not the boss, but there's also the "Black Solid Bone of Gnaud."

Hu's [Dismantling] skill is improving steadily, and so is the chance of rare drops. Despite defeating the local bosses three times, there were more rare drops than Miturugi had predicted.

Can I use it all?

"I'm good. He said he might use it.

With Hu's permission, Momiji won't say anything. I would be grateful if it was from the maple. And it seemed like a pleasant word to Miturgi. She shines her eyes and hands together.

"Then you can do a lot!" That's right, it's a dual sword current, so why don't you try a different kind of sword? "

If you want to be strong, that's fine.

Alright, let's figure out some ideas.

Miturugi finds trust in the carefree words of the maple, and adds to his temper. She quickly opened a number of windows and began to conceive of a weapon.

"Fu-chan, can you send me the item data later?" I want to use it without making it even. "

Fine. I've finished the parfait, so I'll go to the control tower and get the real thing.

Wow, thank you!

Destroy the empty parfait and Huu stands up. Miturgi worshipped her with a look of excitement.

What is homogenization?

The maple tilted its neck as it listened.

"It's the uniformity of the material." This is especially true for drop items, but usually there are individual differences. Weapons are still good, but it's better to keep the quality in order if you need mass-produced armor. "

Miturugi gives a polite explanation for the maple that knows nothing about production activities.

In the first place, weapons and armor in the FPO do not use materials as they are. We're using that data. Therefore, the Heavenly Cloud Sword can be deformed compactly and can be easily repaired with multi-materials for emergency repairs.

Usually, it is more convenient to even out (·) the data of the material when making the armament. The data volume of the finished product can be compressed and the performance is stable.

"But there are also advantages to using raw data." Because it makes use of the sharp points of the material itself and makes it a little better overall than the uniform ones. "

"I see. I'll take care of it."

The maple nodded softly to the fervent appeal of Miturugi. The lack of resistance was such that Miturgi became more anxious.

"Oh, okay? The raw data is quite heavy, so the data capacity of the Sky Cloud Sword is squeezed, and the good or bad quality depends on the blacksmith's skill..."

"I'm not going to use any weapons other than those two waves." Besides, I want to leave it to Miturgi. "

Staring straight at the wolfing Miturugi, the maple affirms. When she heard that, she fainted.

"--Okay, I'll finish it responsibly!"

Thank you very much.

Miturugi clenched his fist tightly, and Maple lowered his head gently.

While watching the two of them, Momiji was eating an Mitsu parfait on the top of the Buddha.

"Please wait!" What is this table with the temperature difference!? "

Fu pins his ears as he adds items to his inventory and returns.

Miturugi, who raises the pneumonia, and Miturugi, who sees it. There was a temperature difference between the two of them that was likely to cause turbulence.
