Chapter 143: Kid with a new toy
This Bonger is geting greedier and greedier with every opportunity that it gets to ask me for those attribute points! If it's a system that aims for the host to get more powerful, can't it just let me invest my points in peace?
Simply ignoring Bongers question, I cleaned my robes from the dust that appeared on them when I was crashing around the place. Back before I unlocked the first universal checker tool, I still managed to get some clues about how those abilities will be working. Since I don't know if I will be able to farm more attribute points from now on, I won't be so hasty with spending them!
With my breakthrough already done, I walked to the door and opened it, only to be graced with a sight of over forty experts infusing their energy into the walls of the wareha.. eeee seclusion place that I was in!
What is the meaning of this? When did they manage to appear here? I was only sitting inside for like two hours with absolutely no events happening, so they came to spy?
I thought that the shop owner would recommend me a nice and cultured seclusion spot, but it appears that he was either mistaken or he deliberately pushed me to go through the upgrade in this damn hellhole of manners!
But wait, why is the sun in the same position as when I entered the place? I remember spending at least two hours while waiting for the system to activate the last phase, so this much time has to pass!
Well, no point breaking my head on it now.
Swinging my robes to the back, I assumed the pose of an ethernal expert, and simply ignored the stunned stares of the experts still infusing their energy into the hall. With my statistic unlocked back to their normal levels, it took me only a few minutes to get back to the mansion.
"Bart! How did it go? Are you okay?"
As soon as I appeared in the vicinity of the building, Eve stormed out of the mansion and jump-hugged me while asking those silly questions.
"Of course, my love. Why should I not be all right?"
With my anxiety of going through something unknown gone, I could assume my fully-fledged guise of an expert. Surrounding Eve's small body, I hugged her tightly with all my strength, as to assure her that I was back to my top-notch condition!
"You know, with all the new possibilities that I gained from the upgrade, I want to play around with them. What would you say for going to get the equipment done now?"
Noticing how she was only interested in hugging her entire body onto me, I couldn't help but look for something that we could do. Right now, I'm kinda like a kid that just received a new toy, and I can't help but want to test it out!
"I was so worried! You were gone for the entire week! How can you speak so lightly about your state! You don't seem to care about my feelings at all!"
Wait, wasn't I gone for like a few hours at most? I remember the system saying that the breakthrough would take a day at most as well! Where did this week come from!
"Ugh, I don't know what to say! I was certain that I was gone for a few hours at most!"
Forcing Eve to stand down on the ground, I caught her head and placed a gentle kiss on top of her lips. As most of the romantic mangas I read stated, this was the best way to calm a girl down!
"Don't you try to cheat your way out of this! You will be getting an earful later on from me!"
Despite my kiss, Eve still seemed to be angry. To be honest, I can understand where is she coming from. If she were to disappear for an entire week, I would turn the entire world upside down only to ensure that she is okay!
"I get it, I get it! But if I was gone for the entire week, that makes crafting this equipment all the more important! I don't know how long it will take me to fine-tune all the details, so it's better to start it as soon as possible instead of regretting being late later on! After all, we have only one week left before the tournament, and that means only five days at most before leaving the sect!"
Thanks to the fact that I wasn't conscious about the time that has passed during my upgrade, I could get a clear picture of our current situation. With my paranoia, I want to depart in four days at most, and that is really a very short time to close all the matters that both I and Eve had in the sect!
"Okay then, let's go to the smithy."
Embracing my whole arm, Eve glued herself to it and refused to let it go for the entire time that took us to reach the workshop. Acting according to the procedures, I swiftly got a room for us and entered the familiar premises.
Seeing all the equipment back in its place, the forges repaired and walls fixed, I couldn't help but apologize to the caretakers in my mind. I only hope now that my new crafting adventure won't apply another series of damages on the interior of this valuable place!
Bonger, how much would it cost to raise my smithing ability to the top of its a current stage?
"Blop!"
"Cost of raising your bad smithing level 3 to bad smithing level 50 will equal to 470 attribute points!"
"Do you wish to proceed?"
Of course I do, why would I ask otherwise?
"Blop!"
"Raised host's bad smithing ability to 50 level!"
Okay then, how much would it cost to evolve it to the next level?
"Blop!"
"Forcefully evolving bad smithing ability will cost 1000 attribute points!"
"Do you wish to proceed?"
Ugh, another with this expensive numbers But looking at how insane stats my windslord brought to me, I think it will be a good investment!
Yes, I want to evolve it!
"Blop!"
"Average smithing ability reached!"
As if the world suddenly blanked before my eyes, I could feel a string of data flowing into my brain. What was weird though is that I understood it's meaning on the spot! Materials endurance, elemental affinity, artefacts abilities All of that suddenly appeared in my head!
"Eve, would you be so kind as to pass me a hammer? I want to test my new skills right away!"
