Chapter 580: Crisis to Opportunity 2
In the Warrior’s Village, numerous kinds of shops were present.
Starting from the basic equipment shops, potion shops, smiths and the magic stores.
Ian was looking around every one of them and began to use the Hero Score very boldly.
Tring-!
[Purchased the item ‘Hero’s Lightweight leather armor’.]
[You have spent ’80’ hero score.]
[Purchased the item ‘Hero’s tough leather shoes’.]
[You have spent ’50’ hero score.]
The items that Ian had purchased, were the highest performance items that can be purchased in the ‘recruit’ rank.
But the weird thing was that Ian had bought the same item several times.
He also bought the weapons of the same kind.
Tring-!
[Purchased the item ‘Hero’s sharp dagger’.]
[You have spent ‘100’ hero score.]
[Purchased the item ‘Brave sharp dagger’.]
… syncopation…
[Purchased the item ‘Strong Hero’s armor plate’.]
[You have spent ’95’ hero score.]
Purchased the item ‘Hard Warrior’s steel helmet’.]
… syncopation…
Ian didn’t like the heavy equipment.
In particular, he always desired to minimize the weight of the armor.
Which was why he would never even think of buying an armor plate.
Then, why did Ian bought the equipment which didn’t even match his combat style?
That too, not one but several.
“Uh, this is a bit like gambling…”
After using of around 1,000 hero score, Ian left the store without any hesitation.
And the place where he was heading to…
“h.e.l.lo, Mister Tiver!”
“Oh, come in!”
The place where Ian had arrived was the ‘Brave Forge’.
What was the difference between an equipment shop and a smith forge?
Both places sold brave equipment.
‘There are more equipment in there than here, and the smithy can do other things.’
At the equipment shops, huge variety of equipment were available for the recruits.
On the other hand, there was just one equipment available for each rank in the forge.
However, the advantages of the forge were different.
‘Disa.s.semble and a.s.semble. I need to try and make the most of it.’
It literally was a content that goes well with the name ‘forge’.
Honestly, the content wasn’t something for a ‘recruit’ stage.
At the time when the ‘hero score’ was lacking, he would have run out of score with just a few tries.
But it wasn’t a story that was relevant for Ian.
At the moment, Ian’s hero score was constantly rising.
“The great recruit who has won the dimensional mirror?”
“Haha, not at all.”
Ian and Tiver had only met once, but the affinity with Tiver was very high.
The reason, of course, thanks to the active days on the battlefield.
“Yeah, what are you going to do today? Have you come to buy new equipment?”
Blacksmith Tiver asked Ian who shook his head.
“Nope, I’m not here to buy an equipment this time.”
“Umm, then…?”
“So that I can use the ‘anvil’ which is over there.”
“Ohh.”
At the response, Tiver was very interested.
He had been in the forge for a long time, and he had rarely ever seen a recruit use an anvil.
“Of course, you can use the anvil. If you can pay the fee.”
“And how much would the fee be?”
“Since you are a recruit… it is 50 hero score for a day.”
At the words of Tiver, Ian nodded.
As he approached the anvil, system messages had appeared in front of him.
Tring-!
[Wish to use ‘Tiver’s Anvil’?]
[Usage fee: Hero Score 50/ day.]
Ian nodded once again.
Then Ian grabbed the hammer on the anvil. And came the system message once again.
Tring-!
[Hero score of 50 has been consumed.]
[You will be able to use ‘Tiver’s Anvil’ for 24 hours.]
[The ‘Tiver’s Anvil’ function has been activated.]
Ian was very excited looking at the system window which had come in front of him.
The content information window, he had a rough idea about, but his eyes s.h.i.+ned as it was the first time he was actually going to use it.
-Tiver’s Anvil
This is an anvil in the forge of Tiver’s, the forger of the Warrior’s Village.
Anyone who challenges it for becoming a warrior can use the anvil for a certain fee.
A. Item enchantment
*Can enhance the gear with the item ‘Brave Hero enhancement magic essence’. Brave equipment max level +10.
B. Item Creation
*Create a new brave equipment by combining the materials obtained from the ‘Brave Canyon’.
The better materials that are used, the better will be the durability of the craft, and the better performance of the crafted item.
C. Item disa.s.semble
*You can disa.s.semble all of the ‘Brave equipment’.
When dismantling the equipment, you can obtain the materials needed for crafting.
There is a chance to earn the Brave Hero Enhancement Magic essence item.
‘Hu, it will be nice if this goes according to my thoughts…’
In a nutsh.e.l.l, what Ian was trying to do was to build an equipment that was for the recruit.
He was going to make an equipment that could only be purchased by combat soldiers or higher in the ‘production system’.
Trying to take advantage of the loophole which only had a limit on the purchase and not on the wearing limit.
And that was in fact like gambling.
He wasn’t sure nor didn’t he know if a higher level equipment could be made from the materials after disa.s.sembling the recruit equipment.
‘Well, it is still worth a try, the resources are endless.’
Ian, who still had more than 3 thousand Hero Score, chose the anvil’s option.
Tring-!
[You have chosen ‘Item Disa.s.semble’.]
[Please select the item for disa.s.sembling.]
Ian began to select the items without hesitation.
[Disa.s.semble of ‘Strong Hero’s Armor Plate’.]
[You have acquired ‘Leavy leather’ material item.]
[Obtained the item ‘elastic string’.]
[Disa.s.semble of ‘Sharp Hero’s Dagger’ item.]
[You have acquired the ‘Iron of Good ore’ item.]
[Obtained the item ‘Low abrasive’ material item.]
At the time of 10 minutes?
All the equipment that Ian had purchased at the equipment store had turned into materials and the inventory was piled up.
* * *
The monitoring room in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the LB company which everyone had left after work.
Only one shadow had been there, sitting in front of the monitor.
And she was the planning team 3’s youngest employee, Oh Hye-jin.
“Uh uh, I might die from drowsiness.”
Her job was to monitor Ian and the three others.
Her task was to record and report how the three members would be able to access the new content that the team 3 had prepared.
It was a very important task, and Na Ji-chan had given such a task to her, she was forced to open her eyes and concentrate on the monitor.
“By the way, that Ian, what is he even doing?”
In front of the girl, there were three monitors.
And it was the monitor of Ian, Mark Oliver, and Lichao.
However, unlike Mark Oliver and Lichao who were in the battle camp as planned, Ian hadn’t left the blacksmith for an hour.
And from the standpoint of the monitoring, it was boring.
And, she was concerned if the Korean ranking server would be lagging behind the other two.
“You need to enter the training center quickly, don’t fall behind…”
Mumbling to herself, Oh Hye-jin was recoding the play of the three users.
However, after an hour or two, Oh Hye-jin’s eyes which had been on the screen began to close.
To monitor at the night s.h.i.+ft was difficult as h.e.l.l.
Snore-!
Oh Hye-jin, the youngest of the team had fallen asleep.
And while she was asleep…
-Done!
The voice of Ian had come from one of the three monitors.
* * *
Tring-!
[The light of blessing is rising from ‘Tiver’s Anvil’!]
[You have successfully done the ‘item production’!]
[A tremendous rank items had been produced.]
[You have earned the item ‘Brave Celestial Dragon Warlord Orb’!]
With radiating light.
A blue orb floated on the anvil.
Ian confirmed it and burst into tears without knowing.
“Done!”
Ian reached it with trembling hands.
At the same time, the item information had opened in front of Ian.

*This item was for set ‘Celestial Dragon Warlord’.
A set option has now been created for times when the celestial dragon warlords items are acquired. (Seal)
A weapon of celestial dragon warlord made by the user ‘Ian’.
“Keu, Kuee!”
Ian who confirmed that options of the Orb, had no choice but to admire.
After burning a thousand of Hero Scores for almost 4 to 5 hours, he finally got the desired level of the item.
“Wait, if it is to this extent, then what rank can be brought from the store?”
Ian looked at the things that the ‘blacksmith’ Tiver has sold.
After looking at all those, he was able to be a bit more confident.
That his choice of using a huge hero score wasn’t in vain.
‘Keu, even in the elite cla.s.s weapons, no weapon of this cla.s.s is present!’
The warrior weapon that Ian had used so far was a bow with no options.
Which was why, even without the ‘set items’ option, he’ll be able to use more than twice the amount of power if he was equipped with the orb.
“Nice, the hero score I have remaining is 700…”
The hero score would surely pile up one after the other, but even with that in consideration, it would be unreasonable to pick another equipment.
Ian thought, that it was all because of luck that he was able to get such an item with his hero score.
“Should I move now?”
