Genesis: The Lucky Blacksmith

Genesis: The Lucky Blacksmith
Master Mining


It had been an hour since the hunting team had entered the dungeon. Riko and the dozens of cleaning teams were still waiting in front of the dimensional gap while chatting with each other. Riko became acquainted with the other blacksmiths and it was true that Tera's words were yesterday. Most blacksmiths are indeed at level F because of their combat skills that are less than other jobs. Even priests like Sita had levels much higher than them due to their overwhelming support abilities. Riko wonders if Sita also signed up as a player considering that the girl actually already has another promising job. But Riko did not try to contact him anymore because Sita seemed to have fed up with him.


His bad mood was also compounded by his encounter with Rangga. As far as Riko is concerned, the young man had actually graduated from college and worked in the same office as Sita. But Rangga seems to choose to become a player instead of continuing his old job. Perhaps because his income was much higher as a hunting team. To this day Rangga is still trying to get close to Sita even though he knows that the girl has been dating Riko for five years. What happened to their relationship after Rangga found out Sita had broken up with him. Riko did not want to think about it than her heart was getting hurt.


Not long after, the dimensional gap changed color. From dark to light purple red. Riko did not understand the change at first. But after Tera instructed the blacksmiths to get ready, Riko understood that the task of the hunting team was done. The entire dungeon monster had already been exterminated.


Riko was already standing with a big hammer in his hand when finally the five players from the hunting team came out, including Rangga. They looked tired, but their faces implied pride. Their arrival was greeted by cheers from the people in that place as if they were heroes of the exterminator of evil. Their names were hailed for their success against the monsters. Riko was a little envious to see it. Especially when I found Rangga staring at him full of ridicule. Riko's emotions feel like going up to the crown.


Even so, Tera immediately told all the cleaning team members to immediately enter the dungeon. They only had thirty minutes to retrieve all the materials inside. The rest, that dimensional portal would be closed forever and anyone trapped within it would not be able to come out again. Therefore Riko ignored the ridicule of Rangga who seemed to see him as a useless human being. Riko entered the dungeon without looking back.


“Whoa .. ,”Riko's sigh was amazed as she looked inside the dungeon.


The place has a different aura. It felt like his strength had increased a little since he entered the dungeon. The view of the forest with pine trees welcomes Riko and her blacksmith counterparts. Although the forest was already badly damaged by the fight of the hunter teams with monsters, but the beautiful nuances still remained. Fallen trees in various places and hollow lands actually make the scenery look more epic. Riko felt like he was entering another world, where a colossal film like Lord of the Rings.


“Come on fast work, Son. Do not be too late,” reprimanded Tera while patting Riko's back who was still amazed.


Riko nodded in understanding and then walked in search of the nearest Crystal that had not been done by others. He also found a large five-meter-high crystal towering in the middle of the forest. With full strength, Riko mined the bright green manna crystal with all her might.


The hammer clinks every time about the crystal and breaks it into smaller pieces. In one hit, Riko managed to destroy almost half of the crystal quickly. Another blacksmith came carrying a large red wheelbarrow. The blacksmith quickly picked up the Riko Crystals into the cart and carried them out gradually.


“You're very smashed crystal. This crazy is amazing. If with your ability it might be fifteen minutes already run around to make the name of all the Crystals here,” comments young blacksmith who seems to be aged like Riko.


“Oh, thanks,” replied Riko briefly.


“You have entered how many dungeons can have a speed of such a big name? If you can know how many skill points your name?” the young man again looked curious.


“Oh, not much really, just a thousand if not wrong?”


“Eh ... it .. I also just entered this first dungeon. The rest I added skill points in the joint training room at the academy,” replied Riko as is.


The young man looked even more surprised. He placed the stroller he was carrying, then approached Riko with a serious expression.


“Do not lie. Want a week you train at the academy is clear your skill point will not increase that drastic. All blacksmiths also know that the symbol training using fake crystals can only level the skill points to 100 aja. How could it be up to a thousand? How many dungeons have you worked in all this time? The most skill points are recorded if you are the real Crystal symbol,” said the young man in a low voice.


The confused risk could only step back because it was uncomfortable with the face of the young man who was now too close to him.


“Seriously I'm not lying. I even just found out that in the training room can only level up to one hundred points worth of points,” said Riko did not understand.


The young man was upset. “Huh, if you don't want to tell. Just dungeon information is stingy. So-sook humble,” grumbled the young man then waltzed away while carrying his red stroller.


Riko watched the grumbling young man's departure. He really doesn't know that there are rules. Then how he can get skill points mining up to that high in the training room. Was it because he had a high level of luck? The questions in the end could not be answered. Riko decided to go back to mining and try to get more Crystals. Even if he could he wanted to take out some additional Crystals for himself. Without Tera's knowledge.


Admittedly, the skill point of mining it indeed seemed to be the highest among the other blacksmiths. They needed at least ten to fifteen blows to complete one similarly sized Crystal that Riko was working on. However Riko only needed to hit him twice.


Suddenly a system notification appeared before Riko, making the young man a little surprised as the bluish-lustered hologram appeared without any cue.


Congratulations, you have opened a new tittle as “Mining Master”. This tittle will make you get an extra Crystal of 10% of the amount already mined. Those extra crystals will go right into your inventory. The player can see the total number of additional Crystals in the inventory feature.


The sound of the system is shown on the hologram screen. Riko felt like she wanted to jump into excitement. It was not in vain that he practiced until night. If additional Crystals are automatically included in the inventory, it means that Riko does not need to hand over the Crystals to the government. Though he had already intended to take out some Crystals secretly. But now the illegal plan does not need to be done.


Riko returned to mining with more enthusiasm. Each of his blows resulted in an additional 10% of Crystals being confirmed through system notifications that appeared periodically in front of him. It feels Riko is getting greedy mining until he is unknowingly separated from his entourage.
