# 14
14. Building internal stability (2)
I am different from ordinary heroes.
I was aware of that. The system log that appears while the master controls the game was only visible to me.
There is one more thing here.
Open the stat window right away. Even if you can get past the logs, the story will change from here.
It means that I can interfere with the system with my will.
even a little bit
I remembered the conversation I had with Isel the night before.
Issel said that the stat window I open is not displayed on the master’s screen.
An existence half-mixed with a master and a hero.
that was me
‘then.’
It will be possible.
Invading the area only permitted by the Master.
I picked up the wooden shield and bow in the armory.
“You wait here.”
I was handed a cart with ingredients from Jenna.
[Blacksmithing Lv. 1]
I opened the small iron door to the left of the armory. The hot heat came rushing in. Inside the smithy, there is a small brazier with a blazing fire and various work tools for crafting an anvil.
[You’re finally making it!]
Issel appeared and circled over my head. Maybe it was the fire in the hearth, but her cheeks were flushed.
“Let’s try it somewhere.”
[So Loki! what do you make Levatein? Or Brunach? Stormblinger? Pragarach?]
“From here?”
There are no materials and the facility level is low. There are no assistants to help with production. Conversely, if the conditions are sufficient, it is possible to create a ‘super-special weapon’ like Issel said, but it was not the timing to come out yet.
“Open the equipment production window.”
[Yeah!]
A hologram window popped up in one corner of my field of vision. It was the same screen that came up when I clicked the equipment synthesis tab in Pick Me Up.
[Start equipment production!]
Press the production button at the bottom of the screen.
As the screen changed, a window asking for detailed conditions was displayed.
‘It works.’
Kind General.
shape sword.
method casting.
[You have selected a casting. Are you okay? A penalty will be granted.]
“Yes.”
There are three ways to craft equipment. Reinforcement to reinforce existing weapons, casting to create new weapons from materials, and consignment to entrust the entire process to craftsmen.
[Insert the ingredients.]
I put 2 iron ores, 1 leather, and 1 plank into the furnace. The fire in the furnace burned fiercely.
“Is it right to put ingredients like this?”
[that’s right. Just do it.]
I touched ‘Start’ at the bottom of the equipment crafting window.
[Insufficient facilities. A penalty will be applied.]
[There is no artisan. A penalty will be imposed.]
[There is no blueprint. A penalty will be granted.]
[Probability of success: Atrocities – unless you are lucky, you will fail! Challenge yourself with better conditions. Are you really okay?]
[Do you want to synthesize?]
[Yes (optional) / No]
I brushed my hands.
It’s been a long time since I’ve made it, but the senses still remain at my fingertips. A triple penalty with a low facility level, no artisans, and no blueprints. But this is no big deal to me.
[Manufacturing, of course...?]
“Manually.”
[Cheer up!]
What do you like?
A hologram screen appeared in the center of my vision. The screen consists of thousands of lines, like a checkerboard. In the middle of the screen, I saw the long sword I wanted to make. The image of the long sword is implemented as dots.
[Teeling!]
[Insufficient facilities!]
A part of the horizontal axis rotated, and the sword distorted.
[Tring!]
[There is no craftsman!]
A part of the vertical axis rotated and the shape of the sword was crushed.
[Tee-ring!]
[There is no blueprint!]
The fine black disappeared and the screen was covered with white and black dots.
Similar to a toy cube. Rotate the screen horizontally or vertically to solve the puzzle. The only difference is that the object of the puzzle is a polyhedron. It was a kind of mini game. Of course, most masters don’t play such troublesome games. It’s okay to do it automatically if the conditions are met.
[Choose a puzzle difficulty level. The higher the reward, the higher the reward!]
“To Super Hell.”
[Super hell? It’s a triple penalty?]
“Just do it.”
[You have selected Super Hell difficulty. Do you want to blow stuff up like that? I will not dry it!]
15X15.
15 horizontal lines.
[Closeness bonus created.]
Is this a pervert?
and the next day.
[Welcome to Pick Me Up!]
The sky is sparkling white.
I could tell without looking at the message. I closed the notebook with my action goals and got up from my chair. When I came out to the square, Aaron with a nervous face and Jenna with a calm expression were waiting for me.
“Relax.”
I smiled and patted Aaron’s shoulder.
According to the Master’s perception, Aaron is on the edge of a cliff, but if he just practices, he can avoid the worst. If it shows minimal activity, it will not be disposed of. Currently, ‘Party 1’ did not even fill the required number of people.
“Come to think of it, there’s no window, but I...!”
“There’s a window.”
“There’s a window.”
[Open the space-time opening!]
[Han Jenna Aaron!]
“I’m going even if I don’t call.”
Are you going to attack with three people?
That was one way. The difficulty of attacking the tower is not high yet, and at this point, it was obvious that attaching a level 1, 1-star hero would only catch the ankle. I went into the arsenal and took up my sword and shield. Then he threw the spear he had brought to Aaron.
“This....”
“Don’t ask, write it. If it’s a waste of two days of hard work.”
“Thank you!”
“Instead, don’t grab your ankle.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“How long will you be Soso?”
“Then brother!”
“...”
Just by looking at his face, he looks older than me.
“Brother, I’ll do my best!”
“Well, that’s it.”
“It’s good. Let’s do our best together.”
We entered the gap of space-time. The mirror on the left shone and changed places. A gust of wind blew through the tall trees.
‘It’s a forest.’
[Floor 4.]
[Mission Type – Subjugation]
[Goal – Exterminate the enemy!]
[Goblin Lv.4 X 3]
[Harpy Lv.6 X 2]
Above the now familiar goblins.
The lower body of a bird on the upper body of a woman. There is a harpy. As expected, it looks dirty.
The annoying thing about harpies was that they flew in the sky and attacked mainly from above, which was difficult to deal with.
I told Jenna.
“You take care of that harpy.”
“I thought it would be just like that. I wanted to use the bow I received from my brother properly, but it turned out well.”
“You protect Jenna. The harpies will focus on it.”
My sword can’t even reach the sky where the harpies are.
Aaron, who has a spear with a long reach, was perfect.
I swung the iron sword around.
The grip was good and the weight was just right. The blade was blinding. It shone so black and blue. Indeed, the weapon I made. It can’t even be compared to the old iron sword. The shield made of pure iron is also shedding a smooth luster. There is no ranged attacker. The goblins armed with
swords and shields, accompanied by harpies, approach us. I came. In this battle, I decided to wait for the goblins to come. It would be nice to go out and fight, but the moment I leave, the formation is broken.
One of the principles of origin.
The swordsman fights the enemy within the range of the spear.
An arrow was shot from Jena’s shortbow. .The
arrow stuck into the wing of the harpy on the left.
”
Kiaaa!”
The harpy with the arrow stuck in the
wing rushed at Jenna.
“Aaron ! ”
( )’I feel fear! All stats decrease by 30%.]
“This bastard...”
I stepped forward. A spearhead swept past where I was.
He was so excited. At least the training ground. Esau didn’t use the spear at random like that.
“Come on!”
Jenna slapped Aaron’s cheek hard.
A stream of blood flowed from Aaron’s nose.
This battle was Aaron’s first real fight. He wasn’t a combatant before. As a spectator, I only watched from the back. I understand. Both Jenna and I went through fear status abnormalities in the first real battle. But Aaron didn’t have a second chance. “If you
fail this time, you die! Is it okay though!”
“...”
“Don’t get carried away.”
“I’ll do it!”
Aaron’s spear started to have a direction. The fear didn’t go away, but at least it served as a stumbling block to the harpies who attacked Jenna. After that,
it was a breeze. Aaron and I took a defensive position to protect Jenna, and Jenna shot and killed the harpies and goblins one by one without being checked. [Stage clear!] [‘
