Chapter 93: The return of the Tycoon (2/2)
”So what should I do? Speak with that Anna person, or do you have something else for me?”[Wild Tycoon]
”For now, keep your ears and new eyes open for any strange occurrence. I will let Anna know about you, and she will let you know if she has any plans for you. But try to stay low profile and possibly raise your level since you took your class. The Dungeon is low level, but if you go by yourself, you should get a good amount of exps. Even the Black Oozes shouldn't be a problem for you now.”
The class, other than the ability to use the Spirit's power, had also raised her STR, AGI, and END effects and were boosting them further depending on the type of Spirit she was using.
Her current one was mainly boosting her AGI.
She nodded as she went her way out while sending a message to Phoenix that she was back.
Shingi, after making sure with Volig if the upgrades on the Enchantments were all good he went to the room for the WOODCARVING and LEATHERWORKING to work on them.
There were some at the storehouse and the displays, but he didn't consider them needing an upgrade.
There weren't many Enchantments here, so he was over within the hour, especially since both ENCHANTMENT APPRAISAL and PROGRAMMING ENCHANTMENT were Base Rank and his high INT even without using his Blessing.
After finishing them, he wanted to start creating some wand and staves and had some space for the mana gems to be inserted.
Of course, he wasn't going to make these available for everyone to buy as similar equipment existed and were using some rare High-Quality Mana Gems that could recharge but at a slower rate than Zhen's.
He, of course, would make some for his students with different elements so that they can use more variety of spells if needed.
He would have to make rings, as he did for Hineko, for multiple wands or staves to be stored in it and them to equip them at will.
It would be easier than Hineko's as the user would have mana to empower the ring when summoning an item.
But first, he had to make some designs on the wand to empower the Element of the mana that the Gem had.
He tried it for Dark Element as he remembered the Dark Mana Gem's design and thought he could use some part of it for his needs.
The design of the Mana Gem was supposed to draw the mana of the needed Element and boosting it to produce more in the Mana Gem like a mini Mana Pool.
He needed to adjust the trigger to be manual and not automatic and increase the boosting of the mana and let out more mana.
The new design would be on the wand or staff as it would draw the mana it needed from the Mana Gem attached to it, and the Mana Gemm would take care by itself of recharging the used mana.
This sounded easy in theory, but adjustments like that weren't something anyone could do.
But Shingi never backed away from a challenge like that if there was a chance he would take it.
He made different designs and tried to test them on the stones that he had the Task Handlers Golems of his gathering while working on developing them.
He wasn't going to waste the wood for his experimentation as most weren't standard wood, and they didn't have much for experiments.
He still had one of Zhen's Dark Mana Gems as they didn't need them other than helping developing Phoenix's Mana Tree.
He wanted the explosion to happen only when it was in touch with the Mana Gem and only after to be triggered with some mana of his to start drawing mana otherwise to be inactive.
The explosions weren't that loud, and because the rooms were made to be silent proof as crafting wasn't a quiet process, so nothing could be heard from outside the room.
He seemed to have found a way to adjust it to draw the mana from the Mana Gem and not the environment but creating a trigger for enabling or disabling the process seemed to be more complex than expected.
It took him the whole day of experimenting with almost all his rock as even after controlling the process by getting the rock away from the Mana Gem, each rock could handle it just a few times, but in the end, he found a way.
It wasn't perfect as it took a few seconds to open or close, and that delay could be vital for the Spell that would be cast.
But at least now, he could make some prototypes and adjust them while testing it, which would save some time than if he continued trying new designs like that.
He ate some food brought by Greg for dinner and ate more than usual since he had also skipped lunch.
He made a staff first as it had more space for his design, and when he had the final one, he would make it at a wand.
The wood he used was special wood infused with some mana like Mirtril but wasn't taking that long to be created as Mirthril did.
He didn't give it any particular design and looked like a quarterstaff with the only difference of having space on one of its ends for the mana gem to be inserted.
He summoned his Spirt Hammer and made it a pick hammer and used it strangely even if the unorthodox method had better results than if he used standard carving tools.
He could feel from the hammer a similar feeling as he did from the consciousness of his sword, which he hadn't felt until now.
He wondered if the hammer more accepting him more now after all it has done with it.
He had used it to break what was said to be a Crafting Seal and help upgrade a Growth Type weapon.
Not a lot of people could tell they have done even one of those things.
He finished carving the design quickly enough, and the Hammer even had made some adjustments to it.
He used it and saw the trigger mechanic was working a lot better than expected.
It seemed like the Spirt Hammer was indeed a precious gift for a CRAFTSMEN and not just SMITHS.
