Only Sense Online - Volume 01, page 15
In addition to that, there were two new types added 《Skill Enchant》 and 《Item Enchant》.
"What what, 《Skill Enchant》... you can apply one of your skills into an item. Hey, that doesn't benefit me at all! This, it's used to stick my skills into equipment of others!"
The other one, has properly benefited me.
"《Item Enchant》 player can apply the enchant to an item. This, if I put it on items it'll sell! 《Item Enchant》——Enchant attack."
Immediately I applied the Item Enchant on an accessory.
Ring 【Equipment Item】
DEF+5 Additional Effect : ATK Enchant
I did it, and then in a good mood I tried applying a second enchant to the item, but it broke.
"Ahh...fuu. Is that so. If I could enchant items indefinitely with no risk, I would do double, triple enchants."
Since they were items I intended to sell rather than use anyway, I repeated the experiment.
"I wonder if in addition to enchants I can put cursed on it? Well, let's experiment more. 《Item Enchant》——Cursed defence."
Along with a black luminescence released the ring's status has acquired 【DEF Cursed】.
"Uwaa, isn't that a cursed item. Now that I think about it. 《Item Enchant》——Cursed attack."
It broke after all. Next, I used enchant, cursed, and enchant in this order.
The Trion Ring I made. Seriously. This performance is impossible.
Trion Ring 【Equipment Item】
DEF+9 Additional Effect : ATK Enchant, SPEED Enchant, MIND Cursed
With this, for a mage, I could discard the attack and put magic attack as well as defence.
Why did it broke and was cursed when using two enchants. This, maybe a material has a limit to its tolerance. In other words, depending on the material it can take more or less. If the material's grade were to be raised, there would be no negative compensation with cursed. Moreover, these enchants, if I apply the cursed and enchant of the same types they cancel each other out. That means, this rule allows me to freely change enchants on the equipment.
By the way, it was impossible for food items and consumables. They broke immediately and disappeared.
I wondered how would it work if the stones and ingots I had were applied an attack enchant. Were it combined with Throwing Sense, would their attack power go up?
"The number of possibilities have expanded. Well, that's about this much for now. And now that I know what the conditions are for it. and the fact it doesn't break, I know it's magic, not crafting type."
Eh? Speaking of which, am I the only person who has ever leveled 【Enchant】 up to this point? In order to raise that question, I contacted Magi-san.
"Magi-san, is it all right now?"
『"What is it Yun-kun? Coming to deliver potions again?"』
"Yes, I'll come over. Also after that there's something I want to talk about."
『"Got it. I'll be waiting."』
I headed over there by running. Although I ran equipped with accessories that were subjected to speed enchants, the regular enchant and item enchant seemed to be separate and there was a slight difference between the speed.
Because of that, I almost hit people several times while running. In the middle I switched into walking at a brisk pace. And in the case of item enchants, there was no light generated.
"Magi-san, hello."
"Oh, you came. Shall we get onto the potion delivery?"
"Let's do it then."
As usual, I sold Bluepots, making money. Because of the DEX bonus the amount of potions which failed decreased, I increased the size of the field and wondered about making Antidote Potions and Paralysis Potions in addition.
"Yun-kun, how's your current state?"
"Getting better bit by bit. Also, the DEX seemed to have an effect on the bow's corrections."
"Ohh, you finally got that far. As expected of my disciple."
No, it has nothing to do with our master-disciple relationship, also she spoke as if she already knew about it.
"You knew?"
"Who do you think I am? Magi-san the blacksmith, during the β test I examined variety of Sense characteristics together with Cloude and Lyly, we were looking for optimal corrections and combat positions."
"If you knew then you could have told me."
She made a sign with her hand and apologized.
"I didn't do it on purpose to be mean to you. Just think about it. What would it be if I taught you everything? Wouldn't it be same as looking at the guide on the website?"
"Well, certainly that's true."
"Also, I hate people who overly rely on the others and the people who look for their own selves are my pride. I give advices to people who come or negotiate with them. I welcome interesting children like you. What I hate, is the riffraff. The people who want to be taught, the guys who track guide sites to boast I'M THE BEST. That breaks the Only One concept, is what I think."
"These are some harsh words."
"Well, even information is for exchange. I too bought information about items and mobs in exchange for the best weapons and armour for them."
I was thankful for the top crafter's words. Geez, I need to pave my own way.
"It looks like there's a need for payment for the advanced lesson just now."
"Ahahahaha, I'm not that much of a devil. As long as Yun-kun becomes a fellow crafter in the future I'll be satisfied."
"Then, for raising me up to this point I'll give you this ring as a present. I finally managed to make it out of a Fine Iron Ore today."
"Ohh?! You've finally reached that point. Right now I'm dealing with steel. Also, I deal with silver products."
"Well looks like there's still a long way ahead of me. Then here you go. I did my best."
I removed the Trion Ring from my finger and passed it to her. I still haven't had enough confidence as a crafter.
"Then, I'm going to secure some more money from now on."
"Yup. See you. Onee-san will cherish this gift."
I went out of the store and when broke into a run, Magi-san jumped out of the store in a rush. But since I already began running, I didn't notice it.
"Geez, why did she leave it and left like that? I've never seen an accessory like this one."
Magi-san murmured with an inaudible voice no one could hear.
●
In order to secure more money, I carried out the field expansion using the money I had. After buying the fifth additional field the price increased tenfold, there was a further fee for buying an adjacent one.
The amount of fields I had increased to six, and the amount of items I could cultivate was one hundred and twenty. Moreover, I bought items necessary for Mixing and ended up having only 10kG remaining.
"Even though I acted in such a grand manner in front of Magi-san, I'm back to being broke."
To improve my weapon and armour, also to buy my own store. The road ahead of me is long. But before that, in order to create accessories I'll need a higher-ranking furnace.
A furnace that can process steel costs 80k. The one above that, 800k.
"I wonder if I can do anything with the remaining money."
I browsed my inventory. The items that failed to go through the inspection were destroyed. Also, the randomly enchanted accessories occupied a corner of my inventory.
Other than that, what I could use was meat, centipede's poison... speaking of which, I forgot about the fossil.
"The appraisal fee's 5000G for a single time. If I take potions to Magi-san's place I can get some money, let's turn it into an item. Umm, so where do I restore it?"
If I'm not wrong, then I need to show it to an NPC named Geologist, I remembered. I didn't know where he was, but it should be fine if I proceed while asking the town's NPCs and explore the town.
I asked the first NPC on the central square, it seemed to be in the northern district. I had the NPC tell me the exact location and headed towards it, when I arrived, for some reason I was in front of an antique shop.
"Heyhey, fossils are fossils but why does an antique shop take care of fossils."
"Welcome, do you need anything from our store?"
A man wearing a shabby vest and a wild bedhead appeared.
"Can I have a fossil appraised in here?"
"Yeah, other than that I deal with antiques. Occasionally I have real bargains."
As I looked at the items in the store, most of them looked more like ornaments than item used for battles, in front of some of their names 【Broken】 was written.
"For today just appraisal. This thing here."
I removed gold from my inventory, and put it next to fossil.
"Sure. I accept. Then I'll take a look."
He removed a monocle from his breast pocket and looked at the fossil through it. Seeing his figure, it seemed like he could use it as a theme for making accessories.
"Appraised. This is a Seed."
"A Seed? One of those you sow on the fields? Well, that's convenient for me."
"What, are you a farmer? This is a vitality tree's seed. It's not really rare."
"Eh, and I thought it was rare."
"It's a tree that grows in a quite remote location, but it can be easily found in volcanic regions. Where did you find this fossil?"
"In a nearby cave."
"It might have been growing in this neighbourhood long time ago, if you want to sell it I'll purchase it for 100G."
"No, I'm taking it with me. I want to raise it."
"It's not an unusual tree, but if it takes root, it'll bear fruit every day. In long term, you might be able to collect it."
And thus I have received a Seed of Vitality Tree.
Although I went back to the field in a hurry and tried to plant it, but unfortunately, the preparations still weren't done. I swung down the hoe intently on the three new fields.
Under the blue sky I worked in the field, while emanating red and yellow light. Thanks to the bonus from the accessories, I showed a performance equal to that of a farm tractor.
It was easier than before, but as expected, it took some time. I wasn't able to prepare any funds by selling accessories. However, I'm cultivating the High Potion and MP Potion's materials on the field and have a prospect of stable production for Antidote Potions and Paralysis Potions.
Today, I logged into the game in the afternoon.
The fields I desperately cultivated yesterday and the day before were now about half-covered with plants. The other half was unused since there wasn't enough seeds. Good grief, I thought of blaming the fact that I didn't plan ahead, but I decided not to go to deep into it since it's a game.
*pon*, immediately after I logged in a sound rang out. The caller, was Magi-san. It was unusual for her to contact me on her own since I was at her place yesterday. Thinking that, I opened the friend chat.
"Hello, what happened?"
『"Heya Yun-kun. Actually, Cloude and Lyly want to talk with you. So could you come to Cloude's shop?"』
"Seriously? Ah, umm..."
Meeting him would be hard. The stalking incident aside, I'm not good with his attitude and behaviour.
『"Looks like you're bad at dealing with him. I too sometimes go 'what's this guy talking about?'."』
"Yeah, well..."
You don't really hide it, but I won't say that.
"Um, can I make some potions first? It'll take about thirty minutes."
『"Roger that. Then if you come to 【Open Sesame】, I'll guide you to Cloude's shop."』
I cut the call from Magi-san, and recovered items I cultivated on the field. The Vitality Tree only extended a little and wasn't harvestable yet. Even so, the amount of items that were planted increased.
However, since it was time-consuming to harvest from the field, there was no time to make potions.
"Ah, there's no time. Highpots and MP Pots should be fine for a delivery. I can make more after coming back."
I made sure there are items in the inventory and left the field.
It was a road I was accustomed to traverse. I was also familiar with the NPC I avoided as I passed by. Look, there's a perfect gap to pass through between those two, oh, those players were surprised by me slipping past. Sorry.
I continued to run like that and arrived at Magi-san's shop.
"I'm here."
"Oh, just in time. Let's go then."
Magi-san said something to the Clerk NPC and left 【Open Sesame】 with me. After we left the store, the people we passed by continued to glance at us in secret. Since I moved through the town at full power I wasn't being looked at too much, but an archer was unexpectedly unusual. I felt bad being looked at and wanted to go to a place I won't be seen in.
"Magi-san, um, Cloude's shop is..."
"It's a shop in the eastern district that faces the main street. Look, there it is 【Commonest Café & Clothier】."
In the direction she pointed to with her finger, there was a shop with an open terrace. No matter how I looked at it, it was a café.
"By the way, that one on the opposite side is Lyly's shop 【Lyly's Woodworking Shop】."
As I looked at the other side, there was a store with an elegant wooden sign. Although the amount of people entering wasn't all that big, but there were quite a few people coming and going.
"How to say it, one side seems quite diligent, I wonder about the other though. It's a nice café isn't it."
"Isn't it. Cloude said that it's supposed to be a cosplay café."
I have a bad feeling. I don't want to enter, no, I have to enter though.
"Then, let's go in."
"But it seems like it's closed though..."
"That's because 【Cooking】 is a mishappen Sense, so it doesn't serve as a café. Sorry to intrude〜."
Immediately after I entered following the calm Magi-san, I was attacked by a fierce regret.
"You came. Then change into this."
For some reason, Cloude was waiting for us holding a pink maid outfit as well as a Japanese-style maid outfit.
And while continuing to move with the flow as she entered, Magi decided everything with a blow to his belly. The way her fist hit him was beautiful.
"G-gufu... your fist seems heavier than before. I though I'd vomit my internal organs."
"Come on Kurocchi, don't make fun of people like that. It's not good."
"Hmm. Looks like the strength is different. That ring's amazing."
All three of them said something completely different.
I stood in daze at the entrance of the store and looked over the scene, Magi-san gripped her fist and confirmed it, Lyly sat on the counter seats further ahead and on the ground Cloude peeked through behind his knees.
"Y-you all right?"
"I'm okay. No problem. I was just shocked, there was no HP damage nor pain."
"So, why are you saying to people who are passing by something that makes the space freeze."
Cloude stared at Magi-san and laughed under his nose.
"Why? A foolish question. I want you to wear it, because I want to see it. This characteristic and practical pink maid outfit makes one seem like he's being fawned upon, it has a sly cuteness. Japanese-style maid clothes have calm and nostalgic colours from Taisho era's romanticism and Japanese beauty as well as slightly mature and non-striking atmosphere! I want to see it. That's all!"
"Yes yes. I don't really get it but since your acquaintance with Yun-kun is shallow you better stop."
As I listened to the flow of conversation between Magi-san and Cloude, I took some more distance.
"Well, that's enough jokes. Yun, I want to ask you something. Is that fine?"
"W-what is it?"
I was slightly shaken up after the lengthy speech from before, I braced myself slightly.
"You didn't give accessories to anyone other than Magi have you."
"...the Trion Ring? Ah, yeah. I haven't prepared enough assortment to sell yet."
Although I mostly used them to practice enchants, the Copper Rings couldn't bear it. Enchants were possibly only on accessories made from bronze or higher material.
"I see. Then this way."
I looked around the store. We were guided to the room in the back, behind the counter which had an atmosphere of a workplace. The tapestries were decorated with cloth and leather, there was a simple dressing room made of stone prepared inside as well.
The four of us sat down around a large wooden table in the centre of the workspace.
"Now then, I have a few questions."
"S-sure."
"I'll say in advance, it's fine if you don't say anything. If you are worried about your own advantage in the game or things like to the point of wanting to hide it then that's fine."
Somehow, Cloude exuded an atmosphere as if he was a police interrogator and it felt even harder to deal with him. I glanced at Magi-san, she responded with an atmosphere which meant 'it's all right'.
"Then I'll ask. Can you make the ring Magi's wearing freely?"
"Yeah, if I have time."
At this point I thought of talking about 【Enchant Arts】, but earlier they said that they don't want to force the process out of me so I shut up.
"Are you completely aware of the process?"
"Not... yet. I think I know about half of it."
"The last one. If you were to sell Trion Ring, how much would you call for it?"
Somehow, an unexpected question came in the end. Hmm. It's the best from my weak rings, but I have confidence, it would be at least——
"——Hmm. It should be fine to sell it for 15k?"
"""Haa〜."""
That's when everyone spat out a sigh. Eh, too expensive huh. Then then.
"Too expensive is it... then 10k."
"No no. Yuncchi, it's the other way around. That's too cheap."
"Shocking〜. Since I've been buying her items up until now, Yun-kun doesn't know the stall's prices."
"To put it plainly, that thing of yours costs at least 50k. If the combinations can be freely changed, then mages would pay 100k for it."
"Haa? Asking for 50k for five Iron Ingots, that's too expensive. Impossible."
In fact, it would be fine if ingots sold for 500G each.
"Currently we can only make one bonus type as an additional effect. But you can make three types. Although there's a cursed which is a negative effect as an addition, but for players who don't need physical attack such a thing wouldn't bother them as they would get no disadvantage."
