Chapter 68

Boom!
[You have successfully crafted a light black iron sword].
There was a loud bang and a successful build message appeared.
“Now… I just need to make a sawblade sword and a bow.”
You have finished crafting 120 Black Iron Swords. All that remained were 120 Sawblades and a bow.
Sigh
Ming Hu put down his hammer for a moment and returned the black iron sword to his inventory. He looked at his workbench and muttered to himself.
“This is kind of hard.”
You can craft an item with a single tap. You might be thinking, what’s the big deal? However, so far, you’ve crafted 130 solid steel swords, 140 shining steel swords, 140 cold steel swords, 130 sharp steel swords, and 120 light black iron swords, totaling 660 swords. That means you’ve performed 660 repetitive actions.
No matter how easy something is, it becomes infinitely harder with repetition. For example, sitting down and getting up is very easy once, but when you repeat it 100 times, 200 times, and so on, it’s hell.
“Let’s take a break.”
Ming Hu muttered something to himself and opened the skill window.
“How high do you want to go?”
Ming Hu wondered how much his skill level had increased. To his surprise, after crafting 660 swords, he didn’t receive a message that his skill level had increased, meaning he was still at level 3. He was very curious to know what percentage of his skill level had increased.
“…”
Ming Hu, who was soon convinced of Wu Guo’s skill, was speechless.

"6…62%?"
I thought it would be at least 90%. No, I thought it would be well over 90%. I didn't make a few sacks, I didn't make a few dozen sacks. I made 660 sacks.
"It was definitely 12% before we started."
Before you started, you were 12% proficient in Armorcrafting, now you're 62% proficient, and you've made 660 swords, a 50% increase.
"The gap is too big."
The situation was so different from Level 1 and Level 2 that Ming Hu was baffled.
"How long will it take to get to level 4?"
I was already worried about what level 3 would be like, since it's so much harder to improve than levels 1 and 2.
"This is not the time…"
Ming Hu immediately opened the crafting window, found the Sawblade, and clicked Craft. The materials for the Sawblade appeared on the workbench.
[Hold the hammer].
Sigh
[Tap the marked spot with a hammer].
Sparkle!
Whoosh! Bam!
[You have successfully crafted a sawblade sword].
Ming Hu immediately put the sawblade he had crafted into his inventory. He then pressed Craft to continue crafting the sawblade.
"Done!"
After a while, Ming Hu, who had made all 120 sawblade swords, exclaimed with a smile, and then quickly checked their proficiency.

"…"
After confirming his mastery, Ming Hu's smile quickly faded.
"Well… 50% on 660 sacks, 10% on 120 sacks is a lot."
The words were spoken, but Myung-hoo's expression was quite unhappy.
"Let's make a bow."
The sword is finished. There are no more materials to make a sword. The only thing left was the bow. Ming Hu entered the crafting window and began to look at the bow.
"I can make about 120 of each of the three."
Because there are fewer materials, there are fewer types and quantities that can be made compared to swords.
"I just need to build a little bit."
Of course, 120 is not a small number, but I was energized by the thought that I only had to make 120 more and I would be done.
"Let's get started."
Ming Hu picked up his hammer, selected the 'Wind Bow' and pressed Craft. The material appeared on the workbench.
"This looks like it could break with a hammer.
Ming Hu looked at the material on his workbench and thought to himself, "Somehow, if I hit it with a hammer, it will break. That's when it happened.
Swoosh swoosh
The knife and saw flew to the side of the workbench and landed. Ming Hu stared in disbelief at the knife and saw as they landed next to his workbench. Why did the knife and saw suddenly appear?
[Hold up the saw].
After staring blankly at the knife and the saw, Ming Hu got the message and picked up the saw.
"But it feels different.
The message felt subtly different from the one he'd gotten when forging the sword, but that wasn't the point, so Ming Hu quickly dismissed it and focused his attention on the materials.
[Saw along the marked line].
A red line appeared over one of the materials, "Processed alder wood," with a message.
"Fresh."
Ming Hu muttered something to himself and placed the saw where the red line began and began sawing.
Sook! Sook! Sook! Sook! Sook!
"Wow. Is this another job impact. That's a really cool cut."
The wood was cutting really smoothly. Honestly, I was a little worried when I saw the thickness, but once I started sawing, I realized that I didn't need to worry about it. The stress of making the sword earlier was released with the sawing.
Suuk!
After a while, the red line ends, and the wood is chopped up along the line.
[Hold up the knife].
[Cut along the lines].
[When you're done cutting, lay the wood down on the workbench].
Ming Hu put down the saw and picked up the knife and wood when he received a series of messages. The wood was marked with red lines in not one, but several places.
Spark Spark Spark Spark
Ming Hu began to cut the wood along the red line, and when he had cut all the parts along the red line, he put the wood down.
Poof!
When I put the wood down, the materials disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Wow. That's a nice system."
On the workbench where the materials had disappeared, a nearly finished bow appeared.
[Hang the protest at the marked spot].
One side had a protest hanging, but the other did not. Ming Hu raised his bow and grabbed the shi.
"Can I just walk like this?"
Grabbing the quiver, Ming Hu drew the quiver and touched the tip of the quiver to the marked spot on the bow.
Snap! Chin!
[You have successfully crafted a bow of wind].
He held it up to the marked spot and it snapped into place, and a crafting success message appeared. Ming Hu checked the options for the Wind Bow in his hand.

Limit: 300 Strength, 700 Dexterity
Physical Attack Damage: 240 to 255
10% Attack Speed +10% Movement Speed
The bow is made of albery wood, a wood that is familiar with the wind, and therefore light.
The options were pretty good. Ming Hu put a bow in his inventory.
“Forward 119 times!”
You will only need to repeat this action 119 times in the future. Ming Hu picks up the saw and presses Craft to begin crafting the bow.
That was when I made my 30th bow.
[The wind has successfully crafted a bow].
[Strong – Armorcrafting level increased to 4].
A crafting success message and a skill level increase message appeared.
“Huh?”
Ming Hu was a bit surprised, as he hadn’t expected to see the skill level increase message.
“W-what?”
Ming Hu quickly checked Mugu’s skill level.
<Strong – Armor Crafting
Level: 4
Proficiencia : 0

I wasn't mistaken, it was definitely level 4.
"…What? It's up 28%?"
It's not like I've made hundreds of bows. I only made 30 bows, and I couldn't believe my 28% skill increase.
"Is it because you created something new?"
Suddenly, Ming Hu realized that this could be the case. Ming Hu quickly set about experimenting. Ming Hu selected a solid bow under the bow of the wind and pressed craft.
[Hold up the knife].
.
.
[You have successfully created a solid bow].
Ming Hu succeeded in crafting a solid bow and quickly checked his proficiency.

"4..4%!"
It's up a whopping 4%. He was right.
"Wow. I was wondering when you were going to post this."
I wasn't sure when to raise him to Master, but I found a way. Ming Hu smiled and began crafting his bow.
* * * * *
Laras, one of Goldbar's guild members.
"Buy a quickie item!"
She was a natural born businesswoman.
"Handsome brother there!"
"…What? Me?"
"Yes! Do you have any items that need to be rushed?"
"Oh, yeah."
"Next time you have an item you need to rush, look me up, enjoy!"
"Oh, yeah. Have fun."
Her natural beauty and friendliness earned her a loyal following, and she did so well that her capital and profits were among the highest in the Gold Bar.
"Laras!"
Just then, a user ran toward him, smiling. When Laras saw the user running toward him, he smiled brightly and exclaimed, "I'm here!
"Ouch!"
"I'm here to sell you this, this, and this!"
Soon arriving in front of Laras, Hogu quickly pulled a pair of shoes from his inventory. Laras checked the information on the shoe.
<Magic
Limit: 300 Strength, 400 Health
Physical Defense: 250
500 Life
Shoes made of steel, cold.
The shoes were worth 40 gold.
"Hmm. How about 15 gold?"
It was a huge slap in the face, but Hogu just smiled and shook his head.
"The next time you have something to sell, I'll be here!"
"Okay, see you next time!"
After selling the shoes for 15 gold, which was worth 40 gold, Hogu disappeared, saying he would come back another time. Laras began to shout again when Hogu disappeared.
"Buy a quickie item!"
Not long after I shouted that, I was approached by a very compliant-looking user.
"Hi. Are you looking to buy a rush item?"
'It's a little bit.
Laras glanced at the user's appearance and smiled brightly.
"Yes, I'm buying!"
The user smiled at Laras's words. Then he opened his mouth to speak.
"I have a lot of urgent business to attend to… are you okay?"
