Chapter 82 – Resting up a bit.
"Okay boy. I know that I just accepted you and everything as my real apprentice, but for now you should rest up a bit." – said Evilin.
"Comeback after you rest up a bit and everything, since I did noticed you stressing out a lot."
"Thanks. But I will try to recover as soon as possible." – replied Phantasia.
"Yea, yea. But I'm serios. Rest is also important. Recover first and then we come here."
"… Understand."
Phantasia alongside the dwarf had left dwarf private testing ground before then splitting up and going their own separated ways.
After sometime, Phantasia had managed to arrive back at his house.
"…."
'Phew'
"Today was stressful like hell." – said Phantasia after sitting down on his chair.
(Honestly, I was kind of expecting him to be disappointed with the mana guns, since they are not really finished products.)
(But by the look of things he understand the whole thing and instead got incredible impressed.)
(Not only that, I got a perfect score from that?!)
(What kind of rewards I got from the quest then?!)
Phantasia opened his menu in order to see what reward he had obtained from the quest.
"…."
"Materials. Nice."
"?!"
"Oh! He had also gave me a lot of blacksmith class related class points! Perfect!"
"There is also the favorability increase! And massive one at that!"
(It will make things goes much smoother with the dwarf if not help me with him teaching me bit better. If that is the case, then my plan will move forward way faster than I had originally planned.)
"Hm?"
"…."
"Wait what?"
[You had proven yourself blacksmith Evilin.]
[You had obtained the highest score possible in Evilin quest to the point that Evilin himself was surprised.]
[The Evilin has a high hopes for you and your future achievements.]
[You had obtained title: Evilin True Apprentice] – [Rarity: Epic]
[Effect]
Stay updated via empire
[Increase the EXP gain for your crafting related skills.]
[Increase EXP gained from crafting by 30%]
"…. Holy shit."
"HOLY SHIT!"
(Epic?!)
(Like for real?!)
(Jezus!)
(I wasn't expecting title at all, and if I would have expected one it would be at very best rare, not epic!)
(Not only that, what kind of effect are those?!)
(Those are not stat boost, but instead flat up boost in growth.)
(EXP gain increase from making items as well as boost in exp fain for crafting related skills?! This title is perfect for me!)
(I was just accepted and I got that kind of reward?)
(…. Wait.)
(If I can get that kind of stuff from get go…. Then what can I get from him later on?!)
(Jezus! This guy may have been way better jackpot than I had originally though!)
(….NO WAIT!)
(YOU CAN GET TITLES FROM THE QUEST AS WELL?! WTF?!)
(Jezus! I'm find out more and more stuff nonstop recently.)
"…."
"Okay…. Things were bit more surprising than I thought… But still, one of my main goals have been fulfilled."
(With the dwarf now having me accepting as his official discipline, I will be able to learn directly from him as well as his teachings and skills.)
(I will use his knowledge to fill out the missing gabs in my research.)
(Right now my plans had finally started moving and its now matter of time before all preparation are finished.)
(Honestly, I also have to do way more research with mana guns.)
(Especially the reload speed and fire rate, the gabs between each shots is too long.)
(Not only that, both the pistole and the shotgun powers are too weak to be used in current combat.)
(However, if I were to somewhat perfected this research as well as attach those mana guns to myself, the guns performance would get much higher.)
"…."
"Unliving Heart is still not ready, huh?" – said ClownFrog to himself while checking out the Unliving Heart mutation process.
(I honestly was expecting for the heart to mutate in just few hours or days, just like we hypothesized and stuff…. But the mutation is much slower than expected.)
(Is it because I'm undead?)
(Either way, I don't feel any changes at all.)
(I don't feel stronger or have any special powers and stuff.)
(Does the changes only happened when the mutation reaches 100%?)
(Will all the changes happen all at once or something?)
(Or maybe the mutation are so slow because they are meant to protect the user? The heart was also designed to be used by a living being, so maybe the reason why the mutation are not instant is so the user would suffer any real harm?)
(Still, I'm quiet curios what sort of thing will happened to me after this heart reaches 100%?)
(The heart objective was for the user to be able to handle and posses a necrotic mana, necrotic elemental and stuff.)
(Honestly, I'm quiet looking forward to it to see how much I would change.)
(However, I still wonder about one more thing.)
(The Unliving Heart rarity was [Unknown] and I had even obtained title related to crafting [Unknown] rarity item.)
(However, the [Blacksmith] title did not ranked up.)
(Are unknown rarity items some sort of special rarities? Like maybe above legendary?)
(….)
(Or maybe the rarity of those items depends on the user? For example, one player can make a use of the item so much that I can become a legendary rarity weapon in their hands, while in some nobody hands it would become some trash common rarity item?)
(….)
"Well, I guess the only way to find out something is wait until its finishes its job and stuff."
(But for now I should log off. I'm tired.)
[You have logged off.]
"…." – the man took off his gear and stood up from the capsule.
"Hm…. Fuck it. I want to eat some pizza. I really didn't had any pizza for quiet long time already and I think I earned one."
The man quickly left the capsule before then dressing up and then leaving his apartment.
Sometime later, the was later found out in the nearby pizzeria where he was already a pizza he had ordered.
"…." – the man hold his phone in his hand while using his other hand to eat slice of pizza.
"Hm…."
(The income from the game I had has been going bit down recently…. Probably because I have been more focused on my research and stuff…)
(I still have a lot of money, so it's no panic right now, but it's better if I do something about it for the safer side in case I will really need to spend my real money or something.)
(I got way better at crafting and thanks to the dwarf I will became way better crafter.)
(I can sell the improved and better equipment in the city since there are way more players now present in the city.)
(If not the city, then the auction house will sell my things.)
(But what should I do with mana guns and their research?)
(Should I start selling mana guns?)
(….)
(Nah.)
(I cannot do that yet.)
(I need to research mana guns bit more and stuff as well as the fact that selling them to the public may end up hindering my own plans.)
(I can sell them, but not now.)
(So that leaves other items instead…. It will slow down the research a bit, but it's better if I do this way.)
(….)
(Now that I think about, are there any news about me?)
(I mean as me as "Doctor"?)
"…."
"…."
(There are few articles…. But not many really…)
(However people seem to be asking question "where is the doctor?" and "who is the doctor?")
(…. But besides me there are few other interesting posts.)
(Some interesting guilds seems to be popping up here and there….?)
(Oh? This is interesting.)
(Some big guilds are now trying to get their own production class users.)
(Hm…... Well, I don't want to get bothered by them, so its a good thing I'm wearing a mask and everything.)
"…."
"There are few people that stand out…. But I shouldn't care about that for now."
(Honestly speaking, the situation about the game right now is still progressing and it's also chaotic.)
(Apparently the game centers where you can play the game if you don't own your own capsule are right now kind of always full. There are some people saying that they are planning on expanding them as well.) – though the man while reading the comments attached to the post.
(The number of the players playing this game is keep increasing with each day…... I wonder what would had happened if I had stared playing from this point? How hard it would be to straight up leave the starting area?)
"…."
"?"
(Game… Game…. Game…. Jezus.)
(There are only news about this game? Really?)
(Wow…. This game really became extremely big hit through the world, huh?)
(What next? Some sort of tournament?)
"…."
(Huh… Now that I think about it, the tournament isn't that bad idea?)
(I mean, they could use it to promote the game even more and stuff as well as give opportunity for the players to show off.)
(Oh!)
(If there would be a tournament than I could go berserk as doctor and release plagues around!)
(Yea! I could completely ruin the event this way!)
(….)
(But alas, nobody announced anything like that.)
(And honestly speaking, what if they would require players to show their nicknames? FUCK THAT!)
(They would know that the "Doctor" and Phantasia are both same people and that would turn my situation into living hell!)
(But if you could go there without revealing your nickname…. Nah. They wouldn't do it. They would need something to address the winner by.)
(…)
(Well, there is also the fact that I'm terrorist and everything, so people may end up targeting me…. Yea…. On the second though, tournament happening about now would be completely bad for me since I would have no choice but not to enter.)
(As for now, lets focus on recovering and then visiting the dwarf so he can start finally teaching me as well as for my plan to finally move.)
