Episode 97
It was around evening that day when I received a call from Asus.
Asus: You didn’t reply once and suddenly called me a blacksmith? It’s a pity, but we happen to have an excellent blacksmith in our guild! He is said to be a skilled person whose level is over 200 just by raising his blacksmith skills.
‘It wasn’t a lie that there were only non-mainstream guild members.’
Blue collar class!
They were literally players walking down a thorny path. Although you can gain experience points every time you increase your job skill proficiency, this amount is extremely low compared to hunting monsters.
Although it is possible to fight by taking advantage of the characteristics of the job, it is embarrassing to compare it to a combat-specialized class. Among them, blacksmithing was a profession with a reputation for being difficult.
‘Who would want to work in a game?’
A level of skill that can only be achieved by pounding on metal and sweating profusely.
But the world is large and there are many perverts! In Fate, there were users aiming for the top in various production classes. The blacksmith user who works in Explorer is probably one of them.
“I guess I just need to relax and wait.”
Asus and the Blacksmith Guild members were said to be staying in Narville. X made an appointment to meet them at Veneta Field after finishing their business.
As soon as the day dawned, X promised to reunite with Raans and headed to the field again. Since I defeated the Snow Mountain Rhino yesterday, I was planning on targeting the named monster in the new field today.
White Tiger: A white tiger, the top snow mountain predator among land animals!
Baekho already had a reputation among users. Excellent combat ability and even its own buff that amplifies its power. The white tiger was a named monster worthy of being level 400. However, since word got out, it was only natural that users would target it.
“If only it had arrived a week earlier…”
X bit his lip in regret. Because the white tiger was a named monster that had already been targeted by large guilds and wealthy experts. In addition to dropping items, the user who successfully hunted for the first time even received a title. One was a level 400 named monster.
‘It doesn’t mean you’re stronger than a 10,000-year-old sea serpent.’
The level of the guy I defeated on Ten Thousand Years Coral Island was in the mid-300s. Excluding enemies related to other beings, the white tiger could be said to be the strongest monster I had ever faced. But who is X?
“Where are you, white cat?”
A power approaching 4,000 and a vitality heading towards 200,000!
To put it bluntly, X was confident that he would win even if he was attacked by dozens of white tigers. X entered deep into the snowy mountain, whistling.
“Oh my, where is something so precious like this?”
The white tiger showed its presence around the time when X was fascinated by Veneta’s special herbal medicine.
Thing! The white tiger’s eyes sparkled among the white snowflakes. X hurriedly gathered the herbs and took a fighting stance.
‘I understand the high level. ‘He’s a clever guy.’
Even after seeing X defenseless, the white tiger did not hastily attack him. why? Because I noticed X’s calm acting.
X was deliberately hiding his intent to kill and provoking the white tigers that were circling around him.
‘It broke my pride.’
He had broken the pride of being an apex predator and recognized X as his equal opponent.
If so, you should respond properly.
X muttered and took out his bow.
Accurate bowstring mastery exceeds 70%! The hard work in the Bluebird’s cage was not in vain.
X aimed at the white tiger hiding in the snow with simpler and more accurate hand movements.
Push! The arrow was released and flew through the air.
The result was, of course, spot on.
[Fatal blow!]
[Bleeding effect occurs on the white tiger!]
Named monsters have a lot of resistance to various status abnormalities.
X caused bleeding with a single blow to the named monster! There was no advantage in attributes, but it had this level of destructive power.
“…it would be important to properly understand one’s own abilities.”
He was growing at such a rapid rate that it was difficult to guess his own skills. Anyway, proof of growth. X swallowed a smile and took out his spear one after another.
‘You have to think about whether to use a spear or a shield.’
First of all, the traveler’s sword is fixed in the right hand. It still has decent attack power, but once the seal is lifted, it is a weapon with infinite potential called the Fire Dragon’s Tooth.
What you need to worry about is your left hand.
Is it a window? Is it a shield?
Until now, X has used the window to the extent that it has become a trademark. X’s unique stance of using both a spear and a sword while on a personal broadcast has become a trend among weapon masters.
The reason why X used a spear was simple. Because there was no need to defend. There was no reason to use a shield because it knocked down the enemy so quickly.
However, things are different when dealing with other beings or their worshipers. Even during the battle with Zawl, X was struggling.
‘There is enough dark iron to make a shield.’
Therefore, X planned to seriously think about the use of the shield before making the equipment.
In fact, making shields was a spare business. After all, it was X who possessed the Kalsumar shield technique, which could be called a morale skill.
“Anyway, we should focus on the battle now.”
Let’s do our best against the enemy in front of us at every moment.
X, who had made up his mind, continued hunting the white tiger. Drip. Drops of blood falling. The white tiger, which was bleeding, was unable to hide its body in the snow like before.
Green onions! X crossed the snowy mountain and charged at the white tiger.
Ssak! As soon as the white tiger was within range, I threw down the spear. It is a javelin thrown with overwhelming force.
Thanks to this, the spear flew in a straight line and hit the back leg of the white tiger.
[Fatal blow!]
[The white tiger enters a near-death state!]
“If it’s two hits, is it one hit if I use bear stance?”
A sight that would be astounding to users who had been fighting for hours to catch the white tiger!
X calmly calculated and headed towards the white tiger. Although their vitality is fading away, their eyes are still full of fighting spirit.
“Go in peace.”
X immediately took Baekho’s life away.
[Your level has risen!]
[You have acquired the title ‘Roster Collector’!]
“…Huh?”
I received a title I never expected. Looking at the name of the title, it was not a title related to the white tiger. X looked closely at the effect of the title.
List Collector: When fighting with a named monster, the named monster’s status abnormality resistance is greatly reduced. As the battle lasts, attack and defense gradually increase.
A title with a specialized effect on named monsters! It was a title given to X, who single-handedly defeated different named monsters in a short period of time.
X, who guessed the acquisition conditions only after checking the effect, nodded.
“Because all of those skeletons were named monsters.”
With this, I was able to completely erase my regrets about the quest I received at the Mist Abandoned Mine.
X placed his hand on the white tiger’s body. The body became blurred and an item emerged.
-White Tiger Leather (Rare)
Beautiful white tiger leather.
It has excellent thermal insulation properties as well as horsepower.
Special Effect: When crafted into a robe, a buff strengthening effect is given to the robe. The buff strengthening effect granted varies depending on the level of the creator.
“Hmm….”
It’s disappointing. I couldn’t be this sad.
Buff strengthening effect!
It is a bear stance whose duration has been extended by the effect of the emerald skull necklace. In addition, if you receive the buff strengthening effect of white tiger leather, the synergy will be difficult to predict.
But Robrani!
Robes were armor that could only be worn by wizards or priests who used magic. X obtained a white tiger skin that he couldn’t use even though he wanted to use it. X quenched his appetite.
“I should put it on the auction house or something.”
Of course, I refuse to bargain.
X, who even took the items, continued hunting nearby. Aside from the white tiger, this was the Venetian field where mid-level 300 monsters constantly appeared.
“If it becomes known, there will be no place to hunt, right?”
Monsters that are neither weak nor strong compared to their level! There were still few users because the information was not well known, but it was natural that it would be crowded with high-level users after just a few days. X planned to suck as much honey as he could before that.
Lululala. X hummed and took out a pot.
“Sniff. First, apply the buff…”
Heavenly cuisine!
No matter how many layers of clothes you wear, you cannot withstand the bitter cold in Veneta. But doesn’t X have a heavenly cuisine that can adapt to any environment?
As I inhaled the finished dish in an instant, my body became warm.
Jump up! X immediately stood up and became motivated.
“A new way for meat to become food and stats.”
Before the Asus arrived.
It was X who devoted himself to hunting to appease his overflowing greed.
*
The snow that had accumulated on the tree branches poured down. Blonde hair was visible through it.
“Etch! “Why are you asking me to meet you in a place like this?”
“I had no choice because I was going to tell a secret.”
“The secret is to request mana equipment. Danwoo…?!”
The moment Asus was about to introduce the guild member behind him. Slap! A young-looking boy with an androgynous face ran towards X. the boy asked, stuttering.
“Are you really Mr. X? really?”
“nice to see you. “It’s called X.”
“Even the crazy voice is the same. Mr. X! Whenever I was soaking, I only watched X’s broadcast! All the broadcasts were fun, but especially the scorpion mukbang…”
Never-ending chatter!
Asus seemed to have started again, but X was listening to Danwoo’s chatter. Aren’t you a valuable viewer? Moreover, since the Scorpion Mukbang episode, I have been a loyal listener of the show from the beginning.
‘You can’t lose your regulars just because they’re annoying.’
It was Asus who stopped the conversation between the two.
“Danwoo, it’s enough to talk about that later. Ugh, it’s cold. First, let’s warm up and talk. He gets excited whenever he talks about X4…”
Asus was basically very friendly. Asus slyly sits at the campfire and touches the pot lid.
widely! X slapped Asus’ hand away and took the pot away. X took out a bowl and handed it to Danwoo.
“Thank you for your hard work coming. “At least it’s soup first.”
“I never thought I would eat X’s food! thank you I’ll eat it deliciously… It’s crazy delicious! No, this is not the time. Can I take a quick screenshot? “I won’t post it anywhere and only I will see it.”
It looks no different from a fan meeting.
The only thing that was inconvenient was Asus. Asus grunted.
“what? “He spoke informally to me.”
“I am the type of person who gives back what I receive.”
“…Did I say it first?”
He came to me right away and applied for an alliance in simple language.
Now that I think about it, I feel like I was very rude during our first meeting. I can’t believe I ended up having to pay for X’s food because of one mistake. Asus held out the gold to X, his hands shaking.
X, who took the gold, also gave soup to Asus. It looks even better in person. How can you cook so well? Asus opened his mouth, leaving Danwoo behind, who was making a fuss.
“Even if you look like that, your skills are amazing. I heard they look at your equipment more carefully than most NPCs. Even large guilds with which we have a hostile relationship sometimes entrust us with equipment.”
Danwoo scratched his head as if he was embarrassed.
“It’s not that great of a skill yet… but if it’s X’s equipment, I’ll do my best to handle it!”
Hot! The calluses on Danwoo’s fists gave him confidence. Moreover, rather than requesting rock metal equipment from a third party with no connection, it seemed better to request it from Explorer, who had a connection, even if it was a strategic ally.
X, having made up his mind, cried out.
“Mr. Danwoo, have you ever worked with rock iron?”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
