MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Chapter 1654 1654: The Forging Grind (2)

Ttang! Ttang! Ttang!

With all of his skills and concepts activated and raring to go, Valyr quickly got to work, sending a command that caused the four production lines to stir to life.

ʼSay, Meyers. What kind of armor sets do you want me to craft exactly?ʼ Deciding to speed up parts of the forging process by working on it himself, the young man made use of his connection with his other self to ask for more information.

ʼAll you told me back then while I was still in the inheritance was to craft 120 pieces.ʼ

ʼHuh.ʼ Pondering over his words for a bit, Ataraxia soon uttered out a sound in agreement. ʼNow that you mention it, youʼre right. I didnʼt give you any of the specifics.ʼ

ʼThen again… is there even a need for that?ʼ he said soon after, a faint chuckle echoing within Valyrʼs mind. ʼConsidering how few armor sets youʼve forged thus far, surely youʼd know what to forge, no?ʼ

ʼI canʼt read minds, Meyers. You know thatʼ Valyr frowned in response, only to then shake his head and let out a sigh. ʼWhich is why itʼs a shame that I can read yours.ʼ

ʼIs it really a shame? Even after we found out the effects of [Perception of the Grand Origin] stack when both of us focus on the same thing?ʼ Teasing his other self a bit more, Ataraxia eventually decided to stop.

ʼJokes aside, just the Half Wyvern Armor set, Valyr.ʼ

ʼThe higher rarity versions or just the Half Wyvern set as is?ʼ asked Valyr for clarification. ʼAlso, are you sure you want me to make 120 sets of Half Wyvern Armor?ʼ

ʼ…You know, youʼve got a point there.ʼ Becoming silent for a bit, Ataraxiaʼs voice soon resounded within the young manʼs mind once more. ʼLet half be Rare-grade Half Wyvern Armor, while the other half be the magic-based equivalent of it.ʼ

ʼYou can do that, right?ʼ

ʼThe first one I can do, no problem.ʼ Valyr nodded with confidence. ʼThe other one… might take a bit of experimentation.ʼ

ʼBut youʼll help me, no?ʼ

ʼBut of course,ʼ replied Ataraxia with a peal of laughter before using [Sight of Arcane Origin] on the vision his other self was sharing with him. ʼIs that not why you asked for my help in the first place?ʼ

Faintly grinning at his other selfʼs words in response, Valyr took in a deep breath before focusing most of his attention towards the progress of the four production lines.

Having given them instructions beforehand to make templates for the parts he would eventually turn into armor pieces, the young man went ahead and modified the set of instructions for those tasked with forging, aligning their actions to where theyʼd make parts of the Half Wyvern Armor.

With his copies working like a well-oiled machine, it did not take long for the first batch of parts to arrive in front of the young man, prompting him to start refining each one as he briefly recalled how to create Half Wyvern Armor in his mind.

Though the speed at which he created the armor was slow at first, Valyr gradually picked up speed as he made great use of the various skills and concepts in his arsenal.

Not only that, but he also made great use of the experience he had with crafting the armor, as well as the special vision Ataraxia gave him access to, increasing the quality of his crafts at no cost.

Adding that with his ocular skills, as well as his decision to make use of [Breath of Calm] on all of the armor pieces, it only took around half an hour for the first set of Half Wyvern Armor to be completed.

Checking to see if the armor had reached the quality requirement his other self was looking for, the young man soon returned his attention back towards crafting more of the armor sets, seeing as the entire workshop was gradually entering a groove that increased their production rate.

Engrossing himself in the entire forging process without hesitation, Valyr was able to reduce the amount of time it took him to forge a set of Half Wyvern Armor down to 20 minutes, allowing him to complete the first half of Ataraxiaʼs request in less than a day.

Taking a well-deserved break after that, he then went ahead and changed the set of instructions on the copies to where it would aid him in crafting an entirely different armor set.

ʼThough the version of the Half Wyvern Armor we made for you to use leans more towards magic, do you think itʼs possible to consistently make more sets of it?ʼ Chowing down on the food he had the guildʼs staff bring up to him, Valyr sent this message to his other self as a query.

ʼItʼs not impossible,ʼ replied Ataraxia, giving the matter a bit of thought. ʼIf we think about what we did while crafting my armor set, if you exclude the massive disparity in rarity and quality, the only big difference between yours and mine is that you had me drip some of my blood on it.ʼ

ʼDoes that mean youʼll be having the ones whoʼd be wearing those sets to come here and drip their blood in advance?ʼ said Valyr in response, only to pause as the gears in his mind began to turn in contemplation.

ʼ…Iʼm an idiot.ʼ Eventually, the young manʼs voice echoed through their connection, accompanying the crisp slap he gave himself. ʼThough the guide said the effects arenʼt great if I did it during the early versions of the armor, I could substitute the blood infusion for attunement materials instead.ʼ

ʼ…Does that mean thereʼs an infinite number of possibilities to what kind of Half Wyvern Armor you make now?ʼ asked Ataraxia after a bit of pause, gradually realizing what the young man was hinting at.

ʼIt would be more accurate to say that my limits have been expanded,ʼ replied Valyr with a chuckle, sending a request to the guildʼs staff for sets of materials attuned to mana. ʼAfter all, I still have to do some experimentation to see which materials work.ʼ

ʼBut once I do… it probably wonʼt be a bad idea to revisit that one idea I had.ʼ
