Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

After that awkward interaction, I moved back to the smithy to talk with everyone else about what happened. They had several opinions, but none seemed to really care about these players… I guess I was the only foolish enough to attempt to earn their forgiveness by telling them I'll begin selling later.

"You don't really need to feel forced to do that, you know?" Sighed Mark. "So don't worry. You're no provider for them."

"I-I guess you're right." I nodded. "Well, still, it makes a lot of Gold, so I might begin selling my products in the auction if anything. I could profit more out of that."

"That's right." Rita nodded. "Because there's no way in hell I'm not doing that! I'll profit and get a bunch of money!"

"I also want to earn some myself!" Said Lily. "Selling products on the Earth Auction might not be enough…"

"I-I guess items that are too high quality can't be transported after all." I sighed. "Hey, Jenny, are you done eating?"

"Hmm?! Ah! Y-Yes!" Jenny nodded, she was still eating food as we spoke. "Man, you overworked me to death there though! Ah, are we going back again?!"

She helped as she could, using her unique body and abilities to mold metals inside of her, melt them, and even shape them amazingly.

Slimes are really compatible with crafting because of what they can do inside of their bodies and how they can shape and influence items they eat inside their bellies.

So she's quite definitely an important member of our crafting team!

"Alright! I'm ready, let's go for another round." Ambil said with energy filling his body. "Let's go! Let's not waste any time! I want to make at least another one hundred- no, let's make two hundred more!"

"You're that pumped up?!" I asked.

"Well, I think we can do it, we've taken a handle of our abilities." Acorn said. "Also, the Divine Flames Ember we can wield is sure useful!"

"I think I could push myself some more as long as you can help with the two Avatars." Mark said.

"Alright then! You Dragon Spirits are also helping." I said. "More than enchanting, I also need you to forge and smelt some items, can you?"

"I think I can! I've observed you enough! Dear, let's help them!" The Red Dragon Queen was enthusiastic.

"Ugh, there's no helping it…" The Blue Dragon shrugged. "If my cute little wife is all pumped up, I have to do my best too! Maybe my black flames can increase the items quality too?"

"We can try!" I nodded.

"Hmmm… Hey Lily, let me help you with the ore production, I saw you were also running out already." Said the Cave Drake King.

"S-Sure?" Lily nodded, although still quite confused.

"I might as well help too…" The Viper Drake Queen sighed. "I suppose I could employ these various, dexterous hands!"

"I'll also try to up my game." I nodded, dividing myself with another Avatar and then growing several arms out of my backs. "I'll try to push myself to my limits!"

Like that, we moved downstairs and back into the smithy.

We moved rapidly, assessing our materials and everything we had, as we worked intensively for one hour and forty minutes.

We meet the mark faster than we expected thanks to our cooperation and abilities, which seemed to improve greatly as we did them over and over again.

Thanks to the blessing Ignis gave to everyone, their blacksmithing abilities became really good. Even those that were quite mediocre became good, and those that were good became excellent.

And those that were already excellent like Ambil, became masterful.

"W-We did it… Three hundred in a single day!" Mark celebrated, dropping on the floor. "Ugh…"

"Hahaha, you guys are quite tired! I'm not that tired." Jenny smiled, her slimy body made it hard for her to become exhausted or suffer pain.

"Hahh… I need a long nap now." Acorn yawned.

"Ugh, I'm having a headache…" Brisingra complained.

"My back hurts so much despite all my stats!" Rita complained. "Elayne! You owe me a few drinks now!"

"Yes, yes, I'll invite you to somewhere nice." I smiled. "Thank you for helping out, everyone!"

"Oof… Certainly, we've overexerted ourselves." Ambil gasped. "Even though I wasn't the one that finished them off, seeing how you are the only one that would be able to add enough quality to an item to transform it into Unique+ Grade in a mass-production manner… Aren't you tired?"

"Well, thanks to this magician ring I got, I regain Satiation with every 1000 MP I use, so I was able to keep myself with more energy like this." I smiled. "Though, it is indeed quite exhausting anyways…"

I waved my hands, conjuring some of my newest Spells of the Green Magic Skill and healing their exhaustion and body pain, relieving them from their stress…

Meanwhile, I looked at the System message that popped up.

Ding!

[You have successfully created [Black Flame Dragon Spirit Steel Sword (Unique+ Rank/B+++ Grade)] x50 [Venomous Frost Dragon Spirit Steel Spear (Unique+ Rank/B+++ Grade)] x50 [Holy Flame Dragon Spirit Steel Spear (Unique+ Rank/B+++ Grade)] x50 [Blazing Flame Dragon Spirit Steel Spear (Unique+ Rank/B+++ Grade)] x50!]

[Your Level has increased from level 174 to Level 175/180!]

[All your Stats have increased. You Earned Bonus Stat Points and Skill Points.]

I ended gaining another level out of that, but I noticed the bonus EXP I got decreased… I asked Ignis about it as we all rested.

"Ah, yeah, the more you make something of a single item, the less bonus proficiency and exp you'll gain, until it goes all the way down to 1." Laughed Ignis. "You'll need to create new items to gain more EXP and Proficiency! This is part of my father's legacy as well, to not make you slack off and do the same thing over and over again!"

"I-I see…" I felt slightly shocked there was such a penalty. "I guess Hephaestus really didn't wanted someone that would abuse his powers, huh? I guess there's no helping it!"

Ding!

[You have progressed in your Trial!]

[Craft Equipment of the Unique+ Rank and B+ Grade at minimum]: [100/1000] -> [300/1000]
