"Your Majesty!" The Guildmaster kneeled as he saw Jin in his splendid System Rider Armour and the royal cape which was now dyed in black because he does not want to stand out too much. (But still do.)
"Rise, what's your name?" Jin said as he saw this big bulky man standing up in front of him with his tremendous armour as well as a big two handed sword. There was no doubt about it, he did have the aura of a guildmaster. At the same time, he could see that the guildmaster's hand was trembling a little.
"Erm, I hope you do not laugh my name is Questo." The guildmaster said as he presented himself with a nod.
"Oh, because you as a the guildmaster of the Adventurer's Guild gives out quest..." Jin realised the pun and the Questo nodded his head. "Its fine, I heard names that are worse than yours. You do not have to worry. But might I ask why is your hand shaking? Some kind of medical problem?"
"No...I sincerely apologise your Majesty, It seems my body reacts terribly against a person that is stronger than me. Its sort of an instinct and somehow that protected me throughout the years while I raised up to the status of a guildmaster." Questo said and Jin smiled gently.
"Do not worry. I am not here to bite you." Jin said as he looked at the three portals that were in the Central Square. "How is the progress of the other two before we talk about the main topic at hand."
"The other two Rank F caves are going smoothly. There are apparently more Snow Wolves than the first as you had warned previously to go in with a bigger party of at least fifteen people. We thought it was overkill at first but later realised the caves were much bigger that enable large scale fights but that also come with the price of more Snow Wolves."
"It's a Rank F+. There should be a boss stronger than the Elder Snow Wolf for sure. At the very least, we know we are getting some meat."
"Yes, the meat processing is swift mainly because the dungeon portal is right over here. Allowing the salvagers to grade the meat to be at least a C to C+. Even just small amounts of that grade C meat mixed it a little with porridge would be able to filled an empty stomach easily.
"That's great to hear. So, you roughly know the situation of Ress?" Jin asked Questo and he nodded his head.
"As the Guildmaster of the Adventurer's Guild, it is my duty to know what is happening around the city, maybe better than the Royal Scribes since they do censor some information for the ministers to take in." Find your next favorite at m vl-em|p-yr
"I see, then I want an uncensored report from the adventurer's guild every morning and evening on my table. Hire one new administrative staff if you need." Jin ordered and Questo acknowledged to it.
"I will need some time to get the information ready for the tomorrow's morning one considering its late in the evening right now." Questo reasoned and Jin nodded his head.
"You could say I handle more than enough duels for a lifetime. But what I am smiling is that this particular monster is metal. What we lack is metal for this kingdom. Once we have metal and magic, we can create things that is out of this world. And perhaps even arm the commonfolk with some technological advanced weaponry to aid with the fight against the demons."
Jin said as he already started running and putting on his System Rider Helmet which was dangling at the back of his neck. Like a hood, he put it on and instantly called out the Mana Blooded Sword which he had made previously through Mr Hammer.
It did not take long for Jin to be in close range of the Metal Lizardman and the moment he clashed against it, sparks flew against an energy barrier. Yet that did not hinder Jin as the second contact against the energy barrier was filled with electrical Maqi with the intent to overload it.
To his surprise, it worked rather well and Jin instantly plunged the sword into the metal lizardman's neck, severing it in a blink of an eye.
Jin did not realised it was that weak or did he used too much Maqi. Regardless, he was waiting for the next one to appear but the arena lights were turned on and it celebrated Jin's victory.
"Eh? That's rather anticlimactic. I was expecting a harder fight."
"Dude, I think you are over rank for this fight in the first place..." Mr Hammer replied and suddenly, the System emerged and asked Jin to pick a reward.
It was either an experience boost to his Dungeon Summoning skill or Improvised Smithing skill. Obviously, Jin went for the latter since the Dungeon Summoning Skill was already considered to be overpowered and at a high rank. Improvised Smithing went up by a rank with the experience boost and its now Rank F+.
The conditions for using it did not change much or maybe it did not change in the eyes of Jin. The only difference was that the quality of smithing might increase. That's all.
"It's okay. What is more important is this particular arena.
I do not care how they are going to do it but they are going to pluck every single chair, every single tile, and every single piece of metal available in this arena unless it is forbidden by the dungeon portal." Jin said as he pulled the squared metal lizardman and his head along for he wanted to do more experiments with Improvised Smithing.
When Jin came out, Gara was seen assembling the defensive barricade and it looked like it was just the start and Jin shook his head. "Sorry, looks like I cleared it too quickly."
"This is the first time someone told me that they are apologetic for clearing the dungeon portal too quickly...What are your new orders then?"
"Get mages inside the unsealed room and make sure that it is truly clear of enemies. In the meantime, get all the smiths and handymans up. There's an entire room of metal to pick!"
