MMORPG; The Ring of the Almighty
Chapter 12: Rosette Knighthood
“Ya!” Jiang Fei nodded.
As if I had a choice, to begin with…
“Ding! Congratulations, Player Verdure Glider has earned the Class! Current Class: Blacksmith Beginner!”
“Ding! You have got Iron Hammer!”
“Ding! You have learned a skill—Metalsmith!”
“Ding! You've learned a skill—Beginner's Smith!”
“Ding! You have learned a skill—Flame Hammer!”
Metalsmith (Level 1): You can change Metal Ore; Metal ore or basic equipment; basic equipment into Metal Ingot; Bars. (60% chance of wastage of raw materials)
Beginner's Smith; beginner blacksmith (Level 1): Allows You to create Metal Armors and Weapons below Level 20 with Recipes. (Success rate of 20%)
Flame Hammer (Mastered): Hitting enemies with your Hammer. 1% chance to make an Ascended item, if the skill is used on Smithing. Grants 10% of your current maximum Health Points as damage if the ability is used in combat. Cooldown time 10 seconds.
Iron Hammer (One Hand Hammer, Normal)
Smithing Success Rate +5%
Smithing Speed +10
Grade Requirements: Iron Smart
The white grade hammer in Jiang Fei's hand felt extremely uncomfortable. It wasn't too rude or could barely hold back .. It was just. Jiang Fei hoped to use a dagger or long sword instead. Still, no matter how dissatisfied she felt, there was no choice. Blacksmiths were not a combat class, but they could still deal a certain amount of damage. The skill, Flame Hammer, had its uses. The problem is its nature as a skill that cannot be trained. It would forever be stuck at Level 1!
“So... What do you want me to do now?” jiang Fei said as he spoke in front of the ring.
*woo*
The ring gave off a faint silvery light and revealed a circular mark on its surface. After a while, it disappeared.
“Did you say ... That I should help you level up?” Jiang Fei asked.
“*Woosh*!” The ring replied with a faint light.
“Good. Do as you please.”
As mentioned earlier, Jiang Fei's goal was to become Superman. Since then, the game itself has turned into a secondary priority.
“Ding! Congrats! You have learned the Recipe: Green Copper Wrist Protector!”
Jiang Fei went to the same Iron Clever Instructor and bought himself a cheap Recipe. Jiang Fei could only afford one copy of the White class. That's depressing. He who is poor must choose the cheapest from the set.
Recipe: Green Copper Wrist Protector
Required Skills: Level 1 Beginner
Required Material: Copper Ingot x5
Complete Products: Green Copper Wrist Protector (Physical Protection +7)
Making this equipment would require five Copper Bars, and success was not even guaranteed! Jiang Fei's current Iron Clever Level only gave him a low chance of 20%. Even with the trusty Iron Hammer in his hands, his success rate was only 25%!
Just like Blacksmithing, most Profession-based Classes require Recipes to make things. Success or failure is one thing. The next hurdle is the opportunity to create a superior premium sample. Lottery, you could say. The default rate is only 1%, which can be increased by using a better Hammer or by increasing one's Luck attribute. If the craft produced such equipment, the level of equipment would be one level higher. For example, if Jiang Fei made a Green Copper Wrist Protector, a standard White-level equipment, and successfully ran an Ascended, the equipment would be upgraded into Green-grade Good quality equipment!
Yet…
With such low odds, players who only stick with craft or production will find it very difficult to survive on their own. They needed the support of a guild or organization!
“Yes Lord... How can I collect so many Copper Bars? I need a mine full of Copper for this!” Jiang Fei complained, pinching his brows. At this stage of the game, many guilds and their members were most likely trying their best to pump up their skills to the maximum! It was no wonder that the cost for the ore would be sky-high. Jiang Fei would not be able to buy them in bulk.
“Hey, are you the new Iron Clever?”
Amidst her new headache, a cute female voice sounded calling out.
“Hmm?”
Jiang Fei turned around and looked at the beautiful and petite little Elf. Based on his skin, he looked roughly his age. Hovering above her head was her IGN tag, Rosette Miaomiao.
“Ehm. Hehe... Sweet, are you an Iron Clever?” repeat the girl. This time, he was embarrassed.
Jiang Fei tilted his head. Curious, he nodded and said, “Ya. I'm an Iron Sage.”
“Oh! That's nice! Are you in any guild right now?”
“No.” Jiang Fei shook his head, maybe a little too hard.
“Yay! That was awesome!” The girl cheered and did a joy jig. He looked over his shoulder and shouted, “Saudari Xue! Sister Xue! I have found one! I've found it!”
“Are you okay?” Jiang Fei asked. He was really confused over everything.
“Nishishishi.” The same girl who blushed in embarrassment two seconds ago did not behave like the young girl Jiang Fei had in mind!
“Miaomiao? Did you find one? Where is he?”
“Where is he? Where is he?”
Not long after the little girl shouted, many girls swarmed in from all directions. The fact that they were all young girls had made Jiang Fei uneasy.
“What's wrong with you?”
Jiang Fei was terrified. First, a cute girl asks for your profession, the next thing is a group of curious looking young girls swarming around you. How can anyone stay calm?
“Halo. My name is Rosette Rose, Guildmaster of the Rosette Knighthood guild.”
A slightly taller Human girl stepped out of the herd and approached Jiang Fei with a calm face, offering her hands.
“Ah yes. It's nice to meet you. Do you have any business with me?” Jiang Fei asked, grabbing his hand.
“Yes. We are a group of sisters, and we have played many games together. In other games, we will take our individual profession and continue our journey. Because Dawn Break was so different, players could only take one class, including Profession. To be fair, none of us wanted to take a non-combat class. We are looking for such a player! I wish that we could work together. What do you think?” Rosette explained.
“Ah. Understandable.” Jiang Fei nodded. He now knew why the girls were looking at him with puppy eyes.
That's a good opportunity. Professional players will not last long in the wild. They usually united in a special guild. However, he also realized that the girls needed their local craftsmen!
“So? How about, sweet cake? Let us take care of you!” miaomiao said, licking her lips.
“Hei! Stop throwing nonsense!” Rosette Rose rolled her eyes. There was a faint red hue on his cheek. He turned to Jiang Fei and apologized.
“Please, don't misunderstand. We hope you will join us! I'm hereby seeking your services as the official Blacksmith Rosette Knighthood!”
“I understand.” Jiang Fei nodded. It was a good offer, especially when ores and materials were the most relevant issues at the moment. If there was a guild willing to accept it, the problem could be solved, right then and there!
Rosette Rose approached Jiang Fei and asked again, "Did you accept our invitation?"
Although he tried his best to cover up his excitement, the glint in his eyes kept him away. In his defense, you won't often find solo Profession players roaming around!
