Chapter 18 – The Weapons Forge
Upon returning, it was mandatory to take a rest, eat, and drink water.. I didn't know yet how many hours I had spent inside the private dimension.. but it was not less than 10 hours.. I am sure of that..
Later, after several hours..
I met again with the City Council that I formed myself.. the Council of the Four Leaders.. Monali was my first deputy on my right.. Jo, my most skilled warrior.. was on my left.. Lois was near Monali and Suman was near Jo..
The words had barely left my mouth before everyone was filled with shock.. after the inquiries and questions.. it seemed as if they were accepting the matter and happiness increased on their faces..
It was a meeting that was supposed to be quick so I could go back and rest again.. but sitting near them after that ordeal was something I didn't want to make end quickly.. for this reason..
The meeting ended after 4 hours of deep details and plans to develop the village..
After the threat of the Deceptive Beast ended.. the
First plan we discussed was..
Moving the city center near the lake.. and expanding the population..
But the matter was not possible to implement quickly.. money was no longer available in abundance..
I could have obtained enough money from selling some of the harvest I got from the Deceptive Game..
But.. those items.. no one knows how valuable they are in light of the limited resources provided by both the Space and the System..
For this reason.. the matter of selling them was completely excluded from the calculations.. the other solution was cutting trees and farm products.. and waiting for the Exponential Wallet..
Well.. we didn't have a better solution.. in fact, the Wallet is still the greatest treasure I ever obtained..
Thinking that I got it by mere luck.. the matter was just a... what was the mission??
The matter is strange.. did I truly forget??
Well, it's a matter of rest.. when I rest I will remember well...
Let's return then to our topic.. we decided to expand the daily imports.. and stabilize the resources..
We have 3 farms.. it's time to make them 6..
Cutting wood was decided to be 100 trees daily.. well.. it seems like a big number.. and we cannot reach it in the next few days.. but the solution has already been found..
The new Axe in the list of new tools that appeared when the Rank was opened..
{ Owned Wooden Axe - 3,000 Dinars - An axe that can break.. and can not break.. the owner is the foundation. Every time it cuts a tree, the time for cutting the next tree decreases.. and it grants Rank Accumulation to the lumberjack }
By means of this axe.. it can be said that developing the rank of the lumberjacks has become available and all we have to do is wait..
There was a discussion between Suman and Jo on this matter and how to reach cutting 100 trees daily, hahaha..
Jo wanted the work to be daily without rest at a rate of 4 hours of work.. while Suman's opinion was different.. his suggestion was to work for five days at a rate of 6 hours daily and a two-day rest..
Yes, I forgot to tell you, hahaha.. there are indeed days of the week in this world.. Monali told me that one of the ancient Lords.. implemented this suggestion..
Well, we will go as the current flows.. tomorrow will be Sunday.. the first workday with a known history here..
Well, let's return again to the topic.. every few minutes we leave the topic and sail into something else, hahaha.. but now let's really return.. yes..
Well.. in the end, I decided that the work would be daily except for Friday.. it will be a rest.. work hours are 5 a day.. and every lumberjack has 3 days of leave per month.. he can take them on any day he wants.. and he can accumulate them to get them later all at once..
Regarding the farms, the matter was similar despite Lois's objection and her desire for 10 new farms at once.. but..
The space is not enough.. it's not as if we will turn the entire city into Miss Lois's farms.. of course not..
For this reason, 3 more new farms were all she got despite her anger..
Regarding the number of citizens.. we decided that the new number should be no less than 50 citizens.. 10 of them were a very urgent matter in fact..
All citizens now.. get their food through me from the System.. but..
I.. decided indeed to work on my combat styles and develop my weapons.. when focusing on this with city management.. what will give me time to grant citizens time to buy food from the system and distribute it to them..
In the end.. we are on an isolated island.. there is no commercial exchange with any external person.. and no one will live inside it who does not possess food and water..
Water.. its temporary problem was solved by using water wells and pumps.. but it...
How do I describe the matter to you.. yes.. the top layer of the well was pure water for drinking.. but it is not enough for many people.. of course not for 50 people as planned..
For this reason.. I decided with my bright intelligence.. that we dig a dedicated place for a small lake.. connect a tributary to it from the Lake of Dreams.. and by releasing the Copper Poison Duck.. which I obtained as one of the harvests of the last ten areas in the Deceptive Game..
It will not take long until it purifies the new lake and makes it the new source of pure water.. of course, the matter will not be random and we will establish a Water Guild to bottle water bottles and distribute them to houses.. and also provide them in public areas..
As for the topic of food.. yes, it is an annoying matter.. farms may produce several types.. but they will never be enough.. each farm produces one type in its natural size.. and with 10 farms, it can be said that there are less than 10 types.. is it enough for the citizens?
Never...
But..
Again, hahaha, my intelligence was present..
Yes, I decided that there would be a Merchants' Organization.. we build a food warehouse for it.. once a week or month I fill those warehouses for them with various foods and in storage coolers.. and they will take everything they need from them and sell it in food stores..
Now.. it can be said that the topic of food and water has been provided for 50 new citizens who will be present in the coming days..
What remains are simple matters only..
Like.. developing the city's power which is already bad, hahaha.. or developing my personal power which is not bad, hahaha, but non-existent..
15 days... have already passed since the day of the Deceptive Beast's defeat.. the new things that happened and I haven't told you about cannot be counted... but let's start with the basics..
Since opening the Rank.. and the fall of the Deceptive Beast.. and on the next day..
I began to see new things.. something like numerical charts appearing over the heads of others.. everyone in the village, literally..
Don't think too much.. it wasn't as if my eyes had become like an information screen.. rather the matter is limited to when activating the Unique Seer..
That information radiating over people's heads.. clearly shows the deficiency that the person himself needs to reach a certain thing..
When looking at the lumberjacks.. the Unique Seer.. was giving semi-similar information for their status in accuracy of strike or the number they need to reach the Rank..
One of them for example.. the Seer showed near his information a yellow signal showing more potential for development when using the right fist instead of the left...
Another lumberjack.. showed that he needs to increase the power of his strikes..
When passing by the farms.. the Seer showed that some farmers would be of better quality when working on specific crops...
Regarding the combat center led by Jo.. everyone was radiating with developmental information..
Of course, I rushed to talk with them and explain the matter..
Yes, I didn't tell them that the Unique Attribute is the one that told me.. rather I told them that I am a genius, hahaha...
The four leaders on the other hand.. their information was more impressive.. the Seer treated them as true leaders.. and provided a detailed report for each of them..
Suman was training with a sword he had chosen from the System list..
But it was not suitable for him at all from the Seer's point of view.. a red signal giving no potential for development with the sword.. in contrast.. the Seer suggested that the Double-Faced Long Spear is the perfect weapon for him..
The Seer truly surprised me.. I didn't think he possessed the authority to access the list of weapons that I hadn't even bought yet..
With that.. the price every time I use the Unique Seer.. was a consumption of Accumulation.. yes, the amount was not large.. but it was, nevertheless.. consumption.. and this means..
That in the event my share of Accumulation is zero.. then the Unique Seer attribute.. will stop working.. this in itself causes me anxiety..
But the results now.. are impressive regardless..
Suman's reaction was unexpected...
"My Lord.. but I love the sword"
"Of course, who doesn't love the sword? I myself am thinking of using it for fighting.. but Suman.. the truth is that it is not suitable for you at all.."
"I can train on it repeatedly.. I trust that I will be able to master it"
"Suman.. it's not a matter of whether you master it or not.. the System.. tells me that it is not possible for you to develop with it.. I have no doubt that you possess the determination, but?"
"But what, My Lord?"
"Suman.. will you bear to see the rest develop sequentially while you are in the back?"
"No.. of course not.. but I thought it was suitable.. but no, I will not insist.. I will do what you see fit"
"Listen.. use it for several days.. if you feel that you still desire the sword.. come back and use it instead of it.. I will not stop you then"
"Really... thank you, My Lord.. you are truly wonderful"
Yes.. I finished with Suman and indeed he began training on the long spear..
When heading toward Jo.. the system advised that Jo lacks the possible fitness and agility for balance.. and indeed suggested that he run for an hour daily.. with fast sprints every day of no less than 30 sprints..
Of course, the training was.. for the first week, hahaha. In the second week, the duration doubled..
Jo was like his colleague Suman.. objecting also..
"My Lord, my strength is in my severe strike, I don't need to run"
He said with pride, hahaha, of course I explained to him how foolish those words are.. I told him how easy your encounter will be for the opponent if he is a small-built, fast-moving fighter.. you will stand like a bear with your heavy body while he cuts you like cheese from every direction...
In the end.. he accepted the training resentfully, hahaha
As for Lois.. the Seer advised that she be calmer in fighting.. this will expand her perception of the battle.. with the use of long-range weapons..
Hahaha, I think the Seer heard her words with me, hahahaha. Well done, O Seer, discipline that fool, hahaha
Of course. She refused. She wanted to fight with two short swords, hahaha.. but fortunately.. the Seer suggested using the Double Silver Bodua weapon.. it was like a sharp silver shuriken.. mixing between striking from afar with the ability to return to its master and be controlled by him.. and also the possibility of direct collision with the opponent..
It was a truly good weapon.. and expensive also, hahaha.. and the best thing is that its properties will not open for her unless she trains greatly and seriously, hahaha
As for our dear Monali.. the Seer was suggesting a certain sword to her.. but unfortunately the sword was not in the store at all.. with asking her if she knew it..
"Of course I know it, My Lord.. it is my brother's sword"
Haaaaaa..
"Is that giant sword the sword that the System suggested to be the perfect weapon for you?? But... it's a giant sword.. how will it be compatible with you"
"Hahaha, do you think I won't be able to carry it"
Hahaha, in truth, yes, but of course I won't say these words to her..
"No, I don't mean that. I thought a bow or even a small sword was suitable for you"
"In fact.. it's a Mutating Sword, My Lord.."
"What does that mean?"
"It's a sword that matches its master's thoughts.. it can be a large sword as my brother wanted.. or a small sword as you think.. or another long sword.."
"What a wonderful weapon"
"It is indeed so.. in fact"
Monali smiled then continued
"Its real name is the Sword of Harmony"
"What about Banner Reaper? That was the name it appeared with then"
"Yes.. when my father distributed the weapons to us.. it was the only one whose name changed.."
"It seems the matter has to do with harmony?"
"I don't really know.."
"Well.. regardless of that sword that we cannot provide for you, hahaha.. the System advises you to train.. it says you are lazy"
"Did the System really say that?"
"Hahaha, yes"
"Liar, haha"
"Hahahaha, of course it wouldn't say that, but it means it"
Half a day passed.. everything was going smoothly.. even the new lake for drinking was already fit for drinking since yesterday..
Regarding the food center, its construction was completed.. and I placed inside it decent amounts of food.. we decided to test its status for a week and analyze the most requested foods and which ones are not sold and could spoil so we no longer need them..
The plan for building the new city near the Lake of Heaven was also completed.. and tomorrow construction will begin led by Suman..
I have already paid 30,000 to the new attribute, Breaking Limits.. and with the amount of my use of the Unique Seer.. what I own now is still a truly large number..
It can be said that I am now.. free..
To develop myself and discover what I gained from what I harvested from the Deceptive Beast..
I already have two matters.. one of them is increasing my stats.. and it is the most important
The other is opening the new Space..
Why did I want to do that?
Well.. the first reason is.. building a nest for the eagle.. why don't I do that here?
Well.. that is not possible.. the nest must be on top of the mountain... and where do I have a mountain in the two spaces? I don't have.. so
I need a new space..
The other matter for which I want to open the space.. is experimentation..
Yes.. I want to build multiple farms to experiment with growing new types of plants that can help me increase Accumulation..
I also have the Stone People.. I really wanted them to be integrated with the rest..
but the requirements were completely different and specific..
{ A land that is not green }
{ The first inhabitants }
These specifications give a specific description that I must open a new space for them as well..
Do you remember my confrontation with the Deceptive Beast? Of course you do, hahaha.. well, in the last ten spaces.. I harvested 10 unique matters..
I mentioned 6 of them to you.. as for the four highest spaces, I didn't have time because I was busy with that despicable beast..
In the seventh space of the ten spaces.. I obtained something unique.. it was not a living being nor an item..
Rather, it was.. a forge
{ The Weapons Forge }
The factory has only one property.. making weapons.. but the matter was not that simple..
Why not? Because it contains details..
The first detail.. the factory analyzes the person who enters it and based on him, it makes the best weapon for him..
The second detail.. when placing a weapon inside the factory, the factory is able to make multiple copies of weapons similar to it.. but they will be one rank lower than the weapon in question.. with a 10% chance of providing a weapon of the same category..
Why am I keen on this factory while I possess the Seer attribute which provides me with information about others and gives me a suitable suggestion for a suitable weapon..
Well.. the matter has to do with two reasons.. one small and the other very large..
Let's start with the small one.. which is that I want to reduce the consumption of Accumulation as much as possible.. and with my repeated use of the Unique Seer, this will not be achieved..
The bigger reason.. is that the store for weapons.. contains dozens of weapons, yes.. but.. none of them possess properties or are considered unique, valuable, or good..
What are these names?
Aaah.. I forgot to tell you.. so
Weapons, my friends.. have an order similar to the order of the beasts..
Common weapon..
Customized weapon..
Masterpiece weapon..
Professional weapon..
Ancient weapon..
Gateway weapon..
In the store.. the strongest of the available weapons.. was the Customized weapon..
Well, perhaps one of you says.. so you place a Customized weapon in the forge and the forge shows you 9 common weapons and once every 10 a Customized weapon.. wouldn't it be better to buy the Customized weapons from the store and be done with the matter..
Hahaha.. well, your words are excellent and good.. but my friend, there is what you do not know, hahahaha
What is it?..
Well.. it is the harvest of the last and most valuable space among all..
{ Headless Sword }
{ A radiant sword that merges with the Lord's body and becomes part of him.. the sword possesses properties from its master.. and the master possesses properties from his sword.. }
{ Rank - Masterpiece weapon }
Hahaha, do you understand now.. why I wanted the forge?? Tell me why? Hahahaha
