Super Equipment
Chap 16's
...~•~...
[You are now level 1. Your stats, which were set to a minimum due to a minus level penalty, have been restored to normal.]
[Basic statistics of Pagma's Successor have been applied.]
This was a phrase that made Rous's heart pound in anticipation.
Deg deg!
His heart was beating so fast that he felt like the sound was reaching his ears. Rous was very excited and hurriedly opened the status window.

His body was heavy and unable to exert any strength properly.
The chances of receiving the 'weak' status became extremely high.]
"Dreams?"
Is that a dream?
Rous did not panic. If he's in reality, he'll pinch himself. However, he calmly walked out of the game.
Logout!
Then Sairou lay in the capsule in his room and stared at the Sky for a while.
"I was sleeping without realizing it."
This is a good possibility because he did not change the capsule to sleep mode.
He went to the bathroom to meet the needs of his body, poured cold water over his head, and returned to the capsule. Then he logged in again.
Just like in his dreams, he was standing in the workshop.
“Isn't that a dream…? No, I shouldn't have expected anything. ”
If an unlucky person like him started to expect something, the wound in his heart would also grow.
Rous opened the expressionless status window and completely froze.
"... What a jackpot."
No changes to the status window content. That wasn't a dream. His heart started beating fast again.
"Wow..."
The basic stats of a level 1 character are 6 strength, 7 stamina, 4 agility, and 5 intelligence. In other words, the number of stats for a level 1 character was 22 points.
However, the basic stats of the Pagma Successor added up to a total of 165 points. In addition, there were 16 points in perseverance he developed as well as 1 point in indomitable, bringing his total to 182 points. Using a simple calculation, his stats were higher than that of a level 15 user, which meant he had a tremendous advantage. Rous realized the greatness of the legendary profession.
In addition to that...
'This is just a basic statistic, but ...'
He noticed the additional 40 stat points he had.
'Why am I given stat points?'
Stat points accrue 10 points each time one leveled up, so he should have 0 points at level 1. Therefore, he pondered the reason why he was given 40 points. There are many theories, but there is only one persuasive hypothesis.
'Maybe ... are stat points earned every time you level up, even at a minus level?'
From level-3, he had leveled up four times to reach level 1. This was the only reason he could think of for 40 stat points.
Rous rubbed his eyes, but the 40 stat points did not disappear. He was so happy that he started shaking.
'My experience at the minus level was not in vain!'
All his struggles mean so much. Maybe he wasn't as lucky as he thought.
“Khahaha! Khuhuhuhu..!”.
Is there any language in this world that can express this joy? Rous could only laugh.
“Huahahahaha ~ ~ ~ ~!!!”
His laughing voice was comparable to his excitement. The people in the workshop left when Rous laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. However, he could not stop.
After a while...
"He! pfft! huh...! Urgh..”
Rous laughed like a madman, but Smith still saw him as a hero?
This means Smith's affinity with Rous is maximal. While it was true that Rous had escaped the minus level, increased his affinity with the two quests, and gained a reputation in Bairan Village by over 200, Smith's attitude towards him was still too flattering.
'Even if my degree has attributes that are easily recognized ...'
Rous's eyes met Smith's, causing the smith to lower his gaze. This was the attitude of a subordinate before his master!
'Is this the effect of dignity? It was only 10 points at the moment, but did it already have an effect?’
That's possible, considering Smith's level isn't very high.
'It might be different from high rank NPCs. However, the dignity seems to have an effect on normal NPCs, even if the number of points in them is not high.’
Rous never imagined that Smith's attitude would change so much in a day. It gave Rous a level of excitement beyond his current excitement.
'...First, let's calm down. Let's calm down and try to figure out how stat points work.’
He worried about her for a moment. For the past few days, hadn't he acted impromptu without thinking deeply? Now that the situation was getting better, he had to be more careful. It felt like a lot of tangled threads in front of him that could be shattered with his rash behavior.
'I already have a lot of stats at level 1, so there is absolutely no reason to distribute my stat points hastily.'
Rous thought of the most important thing to him at this moment. Long ago...
"Money!"
Yeah, money. He needed to make enough money to pay for the trains to move between villages.
Smith gasped when Rous suddenly shouted.
Rous cuts straight to the point, “Didn't I say it when I first visited your workshop? I want to make and sell high-demand items that will give me as much profit as possible. What is the most appropriate item?”
Smith pointed to the place where the arrow was displayed. "This one."
'An arrow?' Think Rous.
Unlike other equipment, arrows were consumables, so the price was certainly cheaper. No matter how profitable it was, if the selling price was low, it meant that he had to sell a lot of volume. His spirit soon descended.
Smith read Rous's expression and explained, “This is no ordinary arrow. It was a special arrow made by mixing a small amount of jaffa with steel, allowing it to ignore some enemy defenses and cause damage.”
Defense is negligible!
For archers participating in the Guardian Forest mission, this arrow was extremely important. No, even if it was for players who did not participate in the mission, the demand would be high considering there were many golems living in the Grey Forest.
“Jaffa ..” murmured Rous.
Seeing that Rous was interested, Smith took out a light purple mineral from the warehouse. “Jaffa is a mineral with a low oxygen content, making it easy to melt. It is also very good at iron. Its weakness lies in its durability and strength, so it is not suitable for making weapons with jaffa. However, when mixed with steel, durability increases and penetration power is maximized. It is normal for cavalry troops to be armed with jaffa-tipped spears.”
“Pasti expensive.”
“This is two gold per kilogram. Even top-tier iron ore is just a cheap stone in front of jaffa. ”
“Mahal... Then, how can you produce dozens of jaffa arrows?”
“No, it's not expensive. Only a small amount of jaffa is needed to make an arrow. The production cost of one jaffa arrow was three silver, but the selling price remained six silver. This is double the profit. In addition, the village has a high demand for jaffa arrows. How about that? Do you want to learn how to make it? ”
If this was yesterday, Rous would have nodded since he could gain a quick grasp through appraisal skills. But he is not the same now. After receiving the recommendation for a suitable item, he needed to learn how to make it himself.
"Show me the arrow for a second" said Rous.
Smith handed over the arrow, and Rous used a judgment skill.
[The Land of Jaffa]
[Rank: Normal]
Attack Power: 20~26
Arrows are made by mixing a little jaffa with steel.
Due to the effect of combining jaffa with steel, it has very high penetration and ignores some enemy defenses.
Weight: 0.1]
[Hidden function does not exist.]
[You have understood the composition of the Jaffa Arrow material, the method of production, and the intention of its creator.]
[Your understanding of Jaffa Arrow now stands at 89%. You will be able to use Jaffa Arrows skillfully.]
"......"
Unfortunately, Rous was unable to reach 100% comprehension after using the appraisal on the Jaffa Arrow. Therefore, the production method is not added.
'This land ...' Rous muttered in his heart.
Smith looked at Rous staring at the arrow and asked again, "Do you want to learn how to make a Jaffa Arrow?"
'If I use the item disassembly skill, I might be able to increase the remaining 11 ... But one arrow is six silver?' Rous would have to pay six silvers if he wanted to dismantle it. He could not afford such luxury.
"It's not too bad to learn how to make it yourself."
He nodded in agreement. "I'll learn how to make it."
Smith's happy. “I think so. First, should we learn how to distinguish minerals? ”
Smith began with an old furnace structure commonly used by all the blacksmiths in Satisfy, explaining in detail the elements necessary for the smelting process and the principles behind the process. The blacksmith's jargon and chemical terms sometimes appeared, but Rous did not feel confused.
While Satisfy pursued realism, it was still a game, so the barrier was not set high to allow more people to enjoy it. The blacksmith knowledge required by Satisfy was as easy as understanding the other classes. Besides, Rous has prepared. He was unable to connect after receiving a penalty for dying twice in one day, so he used his free time to research the blacksmith. Smith's lecture was not much different from the smelting method that Rous had read. Thus, it is easier to understand.
Rous is aware of the effects of preparation and review. Luckily one of his friends from high school had taught him the 'preparation and review' method'.
'But that guy couldn't graduate from second grade all through high school.'
His friend is a pitiful guy who maintains second place in high school, never able to get past the walls of classmates who claim to 'just study in class'. On the day the results of the second semester's final exam were released, he could understand the feelings of his friend who was standing on the roof and shouted, 'Why should a genius be born in the same year as me?'
There were many talented people that he could never catch up to, no matter how hard he tried.
"But now everything is different."
He got legendary class. This time, he will be an extraordinary person. He will achieve as much as possible.
