We have a level system in place for mankind.

I was determined to remember what it felt like to have a critical hit.

At that time, Elena opens her eyes and raises her voice of surprise.

"The Battlestick!

I turned to the battle stick in my hand. There is a big crack in the tip part of the iron and it is still about to break apart. I was surprised and tried to lift the Battlestick. At that moment, the iron part broke down and fell to the ground.

"Can't that be steel?

It was Elena's simple question.

"Because I have the skills in 'Cardiostone Processing,' I think I do. Using the power of your skills, you can make anything from a heart stone. However, knowing the" true layer structure "of the object is conditional."

I had a 6 skill level in "Cardiolithic Processing" and had a better knowledge of this skill. True layer structure is like a structural formula that defines a substance in a level system.

I can create fiber, cloth, and iron from heart stones because the skills of Cardiac Stone Processing have taught me how to structure those true layers.

But they couldn't tell me the true layer structure of steel or copper, so I can't create it. Then it is not so if you can't create it all the time like this. Like "Foreign Beast Knowledge Primary," they have skills that gather knowledge of true layer structure. If we get it, we can create it, whether it's steel or copper.

However, it is not known how to be able to choose the appropriate knowledge skills. I told Elena about it.

"In the case of my 'bow technique', you'd be able to make your choice once you actually practiced your bow. Then you just have to study about iron."

"Good idea. But I can't use the internet, so I'll have to look into it in my book."

When it comes to places with lots of books, it becomes schools, libraries and bookstores. There was a big bookstore in a dangerous place now known as Feilong-ku.

Muto tells me to stay away from Feilong-ku because he has a small dragon-like monster that blows fire. I don't want to fight dragons either, so the bookstore gave up.

"That's right. If it's Grandpa Takemoto's house, there might be a book about iron."

Elena tilted her neck.

"Who is Takemoto's grandfather?

"He worked at the steel mill."

Somehow near my parents' house I was avoiding. We headed to Takemoto Mansion.

Takemoto Mansion was a pretty fine mansion. But now I'm in a dilapidated state. Wildebore must have stormed. The walls are pushed down and there's a big hole in the wall.

I went inside through the hole in the wall and found that the ground floor was wiped out. Looks like Wildebore ran around on the ground floor. Go up the half-broken stairs and check the upstairs room.

"Look."

There was a body in a room that seemed like a bedroom. It's already only boned. I prayed for blessings with my hands together.

The room had a safe and the door was open. I was probably taking out the contents and getting ready to run away.

A large bag was placed. Looking inside, the bill bundle is tightly packed. Now it's just paper scum.

"Let's leave it like this and go to the next room"

"Yes."

The next room was my hobby room. The large bookshelves are lined with steel-related books. I packed it in a shadow bag from one end. Some of them are hobby blacksmiths and knife-making books by Bamboo Books.

"Wow, it's a solar panel."

Elena discovered a small solar panel for disaster prevention. I also found an LED lantern and a candle lantern. I guess it's what I was prepared for as a disaster prevention.

We got what we wanted. We searched for food in a half-destructed kitchen. I got rice and beans here. Were you going to do it even with a cake?

"Do you even have a cake in the nursery?

"There's Pestle and Uzu... well, you just have to look."

I nodded.

Back at nursery school, I started studying steel relations. I didn't like studying originally, but I regretted not studying when it came to this kind of world.

Since vinyl houses must be maintained and explored during the day, study time is at night.

"I wonder what you'd think if I saw who I am a year ago."

I'm the type of person who leaves something unpleasant behind until it's too late. It was the usual thing to desperately finish my summer homework in the last few days.

But if I did that now, it would be tragic. Too often I have to read ahead and prepare early for the future.

After the kids slept, I spread the book on the table and started studying. Lighting uses LED lanterns. Elena was using the heart stone of fire to make her children's cold proof underwear.

I can't make cold underwear without the skill level of "Cardiolithic Processing" being 5, but they had already leveled it. Looks like you've been working harder than I thought.

I trained to reproduce what happened when I gave out a critical hit in parallel with my studies. They use batons to go to the mountains during the day and cut out wood for firewood.

Every swing of a battle stick was studied for tricks to make critical hits while checking for a variety of things, including stride, timing of qi flow, arm swing, and angle.

Shake up the battle stick and shove it away towards the cedar trunk. The moment he hit the trunk, a piece of wood made a hole a turn bigger than a splash fist.

"You're a failure."

I slapped the baton to the trunk over and over again, changing the terms a little bit. And when the swinging baton hit the trunk, I felt a different response than before.

At the next moment, the cedar trunk, about 20 cm in diameter, was crushed. A cedar tree that sounds like an explosion before being overthrown. It was finally reproduced.

Apparently, I found that it had something to do with the timing of pouring my mind into my hands and feet, which I was controlling with an austerity limb force. I repeat my practice with caution.

At first, a critical hit appeared every ten times, and a single blow crushed the cedar trunk.

And sometimes there was a crack in the iron part of the battle stick at the price of a critical hit.

However, I have prepared so many spares that I will repeat the practice as I exchange them. Thanks to this, the probability was increased by about once every three times in about ten days.

By that time, the individual level had risen, and "Truth Structure (Iron Alloy) " had increased in the selection skills. The method of studying steel relations seemed right.

By obtaining "Truth Structure (Iron Alloy)," I was able to create steel. Thanks to this, the Battlestick was reborn in steel.

By the way, I mean iron alloy, so I can also make stainless steel, high tension steel, and tool steel. Battlesticks are made of tool steel.

Since I started using this steel battle stick, even critical hits have stopped hitting me.

Is it because of that, my Battlestick can almost defeat Wildebore with one blow?

◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆

When the East Upper Town Explorer was out, the Emperor and several Explorers broke into the town from the East Down Town. The river crossed the south side of town by boat.

"Shit, it's Parsley again."

The Emperor went down the road with zero stupidity. By order of the mayor, he came to Higashigami. The purpose is Kato Hospital.

One of the explorers notices the nursery and takes a peek. The two aunts were taking care of the child.

"Well, even in a world like this, there's a nursery or something."

"Hey, we're going fast. If I wasn't at Kato's, I'd have to go to Little Ghost District."

(10) The Explorer, who was noticed by the Emperor, apologized for a word and then began hurrying down the road. Arrive at Kato Hospital immediately.

"Right here."

(10) The Emperors silently open the door and go inside.

At that time, Kato was examining a child who caught a cold. Kato noticed the Tsubaki Emperors.

"What, you guys?

"It's your handwashing emperor. I'm here on the mayor's orders."

Heard the mayor's orders, Kato makes a bitter face.

"So what can I do for you?

"I want effective medication for heart disease"

"This is a small hospital. I didn't put away any big pills."

As soon as Kato replied, one of the explorers grabbed Kato's neck with one hand.

"Just shut up and let me out."

The child who was being examined fled frightened.

"Ya, don't..."

As Kato scratched the algae in bitterness, the seeker threw it out onto the floor.

"Medicine. Where is it?

Kato pointed to the shelf behind the infirmary as she coughed into bitterness.

While the Seekers are searching for Gasagoso, the Emperor observes the inside of the office.

"If you were a doctor, you should have come to Higashita Town"

In Higashita Town, people other than your hand wash group were rejected, but doctors and other specially qualified people were accepted.

"I'm in Higashigami, and I've been watching patients for 20 years. I can't move anymore."

"Anyway, you didn't work in the city because you had bad arms."

The Seekers brought drugs, bandages, gauze, and more from the back shelf.

"Were there any medications for heart disease?

"I can't find any medicine like that."

"That's why I told you. There's very little medicine left here."

Kato said, the Emperor stared.

"Waste your legs? We have to go to the General Handwash Hospital."

"But that's next to the Farmers' Association Building."

The Emperors also know that the Agricultural Cooperative Building is the nest of goblins.

"I'm not going into the Farmers' Association building. Goblins need to get into the hospital unnoticed."

The Emperors tried to go outside packing Kato Hospital medicine and other things in their bags.

"Wait, you wanted medicine for heart disease. Give me back my other pills."

One of the explorers kicked Kato's chest. Kato lost his mind, and the Emperors walked away.
