Chapter 37

For Bone Six

Class, Blacksmith.

And various crafting skills such as forging, weaving, and alchemy.

“……”

I, who have never held a hammer in my life, wouldn’t know.

“Hmm, I’m not really familiar with production jobs either……”

Gi So-yul was the same.

She wouldn’t know anything about blacksmithing.

She’s called the Queen of Assassination, so she’s probably only ever sliced up people or monsters.

Then, there’s only one way.

[Using skill, ‘Teachings of Supreme Art’ (S-Rank).]

[Consuming 20 mana.]

[‘Master of Supreme Art’ has appeared.]

As soon as it was morning the next day.

I immediately summoned the Old Man.

“Hoo, this fellow.”

“Yes, Old Man.”

“Looks like you’ve grown in the meantime.”

The Old Man instantly recognized that I had grown to C-Rank.

“Hehe, have you grasped the threads of the Supreme Clarity Heart Method?”

“Yes.”

“Well, it’s a bit slower than I expected. But it’s not bad since you seem to have released the seal of one undead. Is the name Bone Six?”

“Oh……”

He even knew that Bone Six’s seal was released?

I asked, shining my eyes.

“So, Old Man.”

“Why.”

“Do you happen to know about blacksmiths?”

“Blacksmiths…… you mean a smith?”

“That’s right. Old Man is a master of Myriad skills. Making something is also a skill, so you must have mastered that as well, right?”

I nodded and said.

I was convinced.

That Mansul Old man would clearly show the direction for Bone Six.

So I was excited.

‘If he becomes a max-level blacksmith later, he’ll be able to make S-Rank items like copies, right?’

I felt it last time too.

The value of S-Rank items is astronomical.

In other words, Bone Six.

If I raise this guy well, I can live without worrying about money for the rest of my life.

Also, I’ll be able to easily customize my equipment and the other Skeletons’ equipment.

“Huh? Why are you asking me about blacksmithing skills? Could it be that the newly appeared undead is a blacksmith?”

“Haha, yes, that’s right. Would you like to see him?”

[Using skill, ‘Balanced Skeleton Summon’ (C-Rank).]

[Consuming 10 mana.]

[‘Bone Six’ has appeared.]

I showed the Old Man Bone Six holding a hammer.

However, the Old Man’s expression was sullen, as if he didn’t like something.

“Tsk tsk, you rascal.”

“Yes?”

I had a bad feeling.

Somehow.

A feeling that he would mercilessly trample on my expectations took over my whole body.

“Listen carefully. My Myriad skills were created only to deal with people. Skills are skills, but did you think I was the type to lock myself in a room and make something?

“……Yes?”

No way.

“Think about it. I was an absolute being with no rivals in one world. Why would I be making weapons? I can just take the best one and use it. Asking me, someone like that, about a low-level skill like blacksmithing is an insult and a disgrace!”

“……”

“Tsk tsk, you don’t seem to understand. That’s because you haven’t changed your mindset. Do you know what guys who can’t fight well always do?”

“……What is it?”

“They blame their equipment. Blame their equipment. If you’re an absolute being, you should be able to be unmatched even with just a twig. Tsk, why are you already blaming your equipment!”

“I’m not blaming the equipment…… I just asked about blacksmithing…….”

I was speechless.

What was I expecting from the Old Man?

‘Besides.’

He said to take the best one and use it.

It was as if there was a huge wall between the world the Old Man grew up in and the world I grew up in.

The standards for morality and ethics that people should uphold were different.

“Didn’t you say before that you would teach all of our kids!”

In the past, the Old Man said while teaching me.

-The alias I gained from mastering countless talents is Myriad skills. When I should be passing on all my skills, why would I only pass on 10 skills?

He definitely said 10 skills back then.

That means he would teach Bone Six too…….

“Tsk tsk, you rascal. When did I say I would teach blacksmithing skills? Since he’s holding a hammer, he should learn a flashy hammer art.”

“……Hammer art? No thanks.”

No way.

There are already five combat personnel.

A ridiculous opportunity to have a production Skeleton has come.

I have a dream of equipping a full S-Rank item.

I couldn’t give up like this.

“Hey! Are you ignoring my hammer art? Smashing things coolly with a big hammer has a different taste than a sword or spear…….”

“No thanks! I said no!”

“You rascal! Are you out of your mind?”

The Old Man glared at me with wide eyes at my resistance.

But I wanted to say what I wanted to say.

“The Myriad skills I learned are not ten thousand skills, but all skills. Didn’t you say that any skill, when taken to the extreme, eventually becomes one?”

“Hmph, I am the creator of Myriad skills. So, it’s up to me.”

“I can’t understand. How can you divide skills into classes? There are no skills in the world that should be ignored.”

“I’m not dividing them into classes. I mean, you should get stronger first. Do you have time to hammer in front of a anvil with your weak strength? You should practice your swordsmanship more during that time. Tsk.”

“The Old Man’s Myriad skills and my Myriad skills are different. I want to include blacksmithing in my Myriad skills.”

“Huh, such an ungrateful……? What’s with that stubbornness?”

The Old Man made a dumbfounded expression, but my eyes were full of venom.

‘Bone Six is a blacksmith.’

This kid was born as a blacksmith.

I want to raise him as a blacksmith since he was born as a blacksmith.

I definitely didn’t want to make him a ignorant hammer wielder.

This is the mindset of a summoner.

My Bones are like my children.

Isn’t it a parent’s heart to send their children down the path they want!

I turned my back.

“Hey, you rascal! Where are you going? Wait!”

Hehe.

I smiled.

If Gi So-yul and the Old Man won’t do it.

I just have to find a way.

‘There’s only one mecca of domestic production jobs.’

Gotomall.

A word that refers to the underground shopping center at the Gangnam Express Bus Terminal.

‘In the past, it was a place that mainly sold fashion clothes.’

Now, it’s a place where all kinds of production jobs and Hunter item-related businesses are unfolding.

“You rascal!”

The Old Man urgently called from behind.

“What.”

“You have to receive the Great Law of Supreme Clarity and Material Accomplishment before you go!”

“…….”

I had to receive it.

But I wasn’t in the mood to receive it today.

I also leveled up to C-Rank yesterday.

I was more curious about Bone Six’s abilities than anything else.

“I’m sorry, but I’ll pass today and receive double tomorrow.”

“What? This guy!”

“I’ll see you tomorrow, Old Man. Please understand.”

“You damn……!”

I hurriedly reverse-summoned the Old Man who was muttering something.

Bone Six’s class.

It was a small revenge I could take on the Old Man who despised ‘Blacksmith’ as low-level.

There is nothing that doesn’t exist in the underground shopping center, Gotomall.

From various Dungeon items to items directly produced by Hunters.

It is a place where countless Hunters come and go.

It was a place crowded with ordinary tourists because it was full of all kinds of mysterious items.

“Wow, I’m coming here again.”

The day I received the Unique Ability ‘Cursed Necromancer’.

I bought a cheap cane here.

[Item: Old Staff of the Summoner]

[Rank: E]

[Type: Staff]

[Description: A staff imbued with mysterious magical energy. It has become old over the years.]

[Effect 1: Skill cooldown reduced by 2%.]

[Effect 2: Increases the power of ‘Summon’ related skills by 3%.]

“……”

A staff that I’m still using well.

I bought it for a whopping 500,000 won because I wanted to increase the power of my Bones even a little.

‘I need to change it soon.’

Honestly, nothing caught my eye.

Maybe it’s because of the ‘Staff of the Fire Dragon’ that Bone Five uses, but my standards have only gotten higher.

“Hoo.”

I exhaled and looked around.

Clang! Clang!

The sound of hammering metal.

Squeak! Drrr!

The cheerful sound of weaving fabric pleased my ears.

‘There are still a lot of people.’

I stuck out my tongue at the constantly bustling Hunters and tourists.

Gi So-yul, who followed me here, was hiding nearby.

She is a famous person.

She said she was more used to and comfortable with hiding.

‘First.’

I picked one of the nearby blacksmiths.

It was a blacksmith with a worn-out sign that seemed to only handle very cheap equipment.

‘I don’t have any money right now…….’

Besides.

There was actually another reason why I chose that place.

[Smith’s Blacksmith]

[Beginner Blacksmiths Welcome!]

[We rent out anvils, furnaces, artificial wells, etc. at low prices!]

[Build up your proficiency as much as you want! Many rooms!]

The phrase ‘Beginner Blacksmiths Welcome’!

‘Although Bone Six is intermediate.’

Since there is no master, I thought he should learn from the basics.

Perhaps because it was an old blacksmith.

That was also the reason why there were unusually no Hunters on this side.

“Hello.”

As I greeted, a man who looked to be in his early 50s stood up.

“Welcome. What are you here to buy?”

“No, I saw the advertisement you put up in front?”

“Ah, you’re a blacksmith? If you’re a beginner, are you F-Rank? Or E-Rank?”

“E-Rank.”

I shook the white name tag hanging on my waist.

‘I need to renew it soon.’

The renewal period stipulated by the association is half a year.

If you lie about your rank for half a year after your rank goes up, you will be considered a ‘fraudulent registrant’ and receive all kinds of disadvantages.

I still have about 4-5 months left, so I’m still okay.

“I see! So you’re here to rent a room?”

“Yes, can I take a look?”

In fact, I had already learned the general production job information through the 「Hunter Bulletin Board」 while coming here.

It was roughly similar to a game.

Forging, weaving, alchemy, etc.

Are skills, so if you just build up your proficiency, your level will increase on its own.

‘The item creation skill is the flower of the blacksmith.’

The ‘materials’ obtained through the preceding basic skills.

Through the ‘blueprint’ that came out of the Dungeon.

Creating items.

“Well, look around as much as you want. Check it out and rent it if you like it.”

The rooms were simple.

A empty space with only the bare necessities installed.

It was truly like a proficiency factory.

“Hmm, how much is the price?”

“Two million a month.”

“Two million……? Do you mean two million won?”

“Hehe, your joke is too much. Of course it’s two million won. Of course, there’s no such thing as renting it for just one day.”

“……”

I felt like I knew why there were no customers.

It was more expensive than I thought.

Even though I’ve been going to C-Rank Dungeons recently, I didn’t have much money saved up.

[Account Details Inquiry]

[Account Holder: Ju Dong-hoon]

[Hunter Preferential Account E-Rank]

[Total: 8,602,000 won]

About 8.6 million won?

I would have to spend about 25% of my entire fortune.

“If you don’t like it, leave. There’s no place in the country that rents out cheaper than here. Do you know how much it costs to install a simple anvil or furnace? Plus, there’s even a loom and a simple alchemy table here.”

“Hmm.”

I was worried.

I’m not usually a pushover.

In fact, what that guy said wasn’t wrong.

In the case of production jobs, most are managed at the guild level and they don’t spare any support.

They don’t bother going to places like this.

If there is no demand, the supply will gradually disappear.

Maybe all the other rental facilities have gone out of business, and only this place is barely maintaining itself.

“Okay.”

I nodded.

It’s an investment for my baby anyway.

If Bone Six grows properly, wouldn’t he repay me dozens of times over?

“I’ll rent it for a month!”

I boldly handed over my card.
