Paper 154 How to Make a Masterpiece
-[Art Genius’ Dexterity (A)] has been saved.
After checking the system phrase, Jihoo looked at the overall status window for the first time in a while.
『Status Window』
Name: Shin Ji-hoo
Age: 36
Power: Lv. 08
Rating: None
Nothing much has changed except for the power level. The rating seems to include only the power rating.
And then the abilities.
It has grown so much.
Except for physical ability, most of them were blocked at 49, and physical ability was also at a level that could not be called an ordinary person anymore.
『Basic Abilities』
[Muscle 40] [Magic Power 58 (+18)]
[Stamina 38] [Spirit 49]
[Endurance 38] [Intelligence 49]
[Intelligence 37] [dexterity 49]
[Sense 39] [Perseverance 36]
The mana has definitely increased.
Recently broke through 49 and rose to 58 at once. [Dragon Witch]’s advanced magic amplification effect increases by 18 when below 60.
‘The magic has definitely improved. So there is no burden when using 5-star magic.’
The same goes for other abilities.
In the past, it has grown to an unimaginable extent. However, the level of the enemy is so high that it is impossible to feel it.
Next is [talent].
[The dexterity of an artistic genius (A)]
[Sturdy and excellent mental strength (B)]
[Genius Magic Talent (A)]
“Your mental power has also gone up a notch.”
Jihoo had exceptionally high mental strength. As for the ability level, there are two feature support. That’s why it seems that the talent has also risen.
And two A-rank talents.
One is magic and the other is dexterity accompanied by an artistic sense. This isn’t bad enough. If I had enough SP, I would like to raise an S grade, but now I need at least 150,000, so I think it would be better to make another A grade to collect it.
Next is [Attribute].
[Setting intervention authority (EX)]
[Super Sense (B)]
[Never collapse (S)]
There are three.
[Super Sense], the first talent Jihoo created.
Just a few weeks ago, it was barely C grade, but when I went back and forth to the 8th floor to attack the ruins, it grew to B grade.
From what I’ve experienced so far, it should be seen that grades above B do not grow naturally. No matter how much [growth type] I put in.
‘Never collapse.’
This greatly boosted Jihoo’s mental strength.
Since it was combined with the mental strength that reached 49 now, the effect was even greater. So these days, when I have free time, I don’t know that my head hurts even if I use [Understanding].
Of course, it wasn’t a level 11 security option, though.
Unique Ability:
[Read (Lv. 08)]
[Set Intervention (Lv. 07)]
These are still 8 and 7.
The setting intervention level up was slower than [Read], but it seemed like it was because the study itself was related to the skill level of [Read].
‘I’ve been neglecting setting interventions while hunting these days.’
There was also something that I did to collect SP and use it all at once. Now, if you go to the 11th floor, you will be able to collect more than 100,000, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to use it in small portions for production.
Right now, I don’t have enough SP to use that much.
And [special ability].
[Memorize (Lv. 03)]
[Keyword (3/10)]
[Time for setting (Lv. 03)]
[Fusion (Lv. 03)]
[Extract/Combine/Fix (Lv. 07)]
[understanding]
[clairvoyance]
[Inventory]
[Weak case setting]
what a lot
There are a lot of skills that I don’t use these days, but there were those because I only hunted.
‘It would be important to utilize extraction, combination, fixation and convergence. What if [Alchemy] is applied there? Besides, if I add the artistic sense I gained this time, I think something good will come out.’
This meets the minimum requirements.
what is the requirement?
“It’s a requirement to be able to make your own equipment.”
Until now, you had to buy the original or custom-made. Or you can use the material as it is.
But not anymore.
Complex objects like firearms require study, but general cold weapons and armor can be made by hand.
And the first experiment is making a [masterpiece].
* * *
The first thing I found was metal.
Considering the strength, hardness, magical power conductivity, and magical power capacity, [Magic Iron] is appropriate. There are better metals out there, but make them after experimentation.
‘I’m making arrows.’
Then you need feathers.
A [Sozo] feather with the wind attribute is sufficient. After all, he was planning to make missile-type arrows that mixed cold and flame.
‘Missile type amplifies the power of the bow rather than shooting ability, and grants fire. And the arrow’s performance is more important.’
Jomulrak.
Jihoo pulled out a long iron ingot through [Alchemy]. Previously, this task was not difficult. This is because it is not difficult to make a shape exactly as it comes to mind or to imitate an object that has been seen in person because of its dexterity.
But this time it was different.
It’s not just an arrow.
[Masterpiece] must have enough artistic value to run, and an optimal design is necessary as many magics and circuits must be included.
But Jihoo had a talent.
[The dexterity of an artistic genius (A)]
[Genius Magic Talent (A)]
The synergy between these two talents is enormous.
Jihoo had already completed the circuit design of the desired option in his head, and was able to perfectly draw out the size, width, weight, and curvature of the arrow suitable for the design.
And that’s not all.
It was beautiful.
‘How beautiful can an arrow be if it is beautiful.’
This is what Jihoo, who did not know art, thought.
But he knew best how trivial and narrow-minded that was. It looked like it had been pulled out randomly, but the shape and proportions of the arrowheads, the curves and smooth surfaces of the shafts. It seemed to see the finish of a luxury product, even to the collar.
It went beyond simple dexterity.
I thought that the idea of capturing efficiency and beauty at the same time was just a delusion, but even that was because I lacked talent.
‘Efficiency comes from beauty.’
Also, beauty comes from efficient shapes. The two are not contradictory to each other, and they work synergistically.
Thus, one arrow was completed.
Of course, it is a metal arrow with no magic circuit.
『Art and practicality, in between [gold] [masterpiece] [Lv. 06]』
: There are traces of a craftsman with exceptional production skills contemplating between art and practicality. In the end, by combining the two elements, they completed synergy rather than negatives, and were able to rise to the ranks of ‘masterpieces’.
* [Medium Magical Volume Amplification]
* [Enhanced Medium Magical Circuit]
“… … Hmm, it feels like I didn’t see it with an arrow at all.”
That’s the name or description.
It feels like it was recognized as a work of art rather than an arrow that I use myself. That’s not a bad thing, but it feels like 2% lacking for Jihoo, who thought he had a practical use.
But after looking at the two options, I thought I had a pretty good shot.
‘It’s thanks to the optimal design, but it seems that the effect of the masterpiece is definitely there if it’s an option that strengthens the magic circuit itself.’
Even though the circuit was not drawn separately, two intermediate options were attached, and the level was 6.
It’s definitely a [masterpiece], so the basic specs get better.
‘It would be more perfect if the circuit was engraved on the surface.’
It is a design that considers even the pattern of the circuit.
First, I heard Kiliya’s magic pen.
After drawing the circuit to go inside, draw an indelible circuit on the outside with intaglio.
‘If my magic skills improved just a bit more, I’d be able to add more circuits.’
Right now, [Phase Separation] is used to overlap magic circuits, but if your magic skill reaches 6 stars, you will be able to use a slightly more advanced [Phase Circuit].
“Let’s go with the combination of cold and flame we saw earlier. It can’t be used as a consumable item, so it would be nice to have something like [recovery].”
I decided to try making one.
The design is simple. It retains cold air from the arrowhead to the 1/3 point. Use [Witch’s Robe] and [Essence of Water] for ultra-high concentration. In other words, it is possible to bestow cold energy to an advanced level.
‘Or you can charge it in advance and store it.’
If you put it in advance, it is a problem to preserve the cold air, and if you put it on the spot, there will be a delay. I’ll have to store it in advance as much as possible and add the cold air that flew away.
And since fire was an option for the bow itself, you just need to tweak it a bit. End with [Storage space] and [Area designation].
‘The most difficult part is consuming flames and making them into propulsion, and even using the repulsive force of the part that collides with the cold as propulsion and stabilizing the trajectory.’
It’s complicated, but it’s not huge compared to what I’ve made so far. It’s a bit more hands-on.
‘If you add wind attributes to Sozo’s feathers to help with flame propulsion and trajectory stabilization… … .’
It becomes a single propellant.
Since the wind attribute is included, it is possible to blow in the desired direction by adding vortex and low-level artificial intelligence.
There is a level of bow and arrow, and the level is proportional to speed and destructive power, so ‘perfect judo’ is difficult.
At that level, I would have to attach [Advanced Judo], but putting such a circuit in this small arrow is close to impossible.
“done.”
A relatively small arrow.
It’s tricky, but it wasn’t difficult because the circuit level itself wasn’t high. The increase in the level of magic was great.
『Higher Attribute Arrows [Fire/Water] [Masterpiece] [Lv. 08]』
: There are traces of a craftsman with exceptional production skills contemplating between art and practicality. In the end, by combining the two elements, they completed synergy rather than negatives, and were able to rise to the ranks of ‘masterpieces’.
In addition, the magic circuit of a great magician was added, making it even closer to practical use. He creatively utilized the opposing powers of fire and cold.
* [Upper Intermediate Flame Propulsion]
* [Intermediate Trajectory Stable]
* [Medium Cold Blast]
Jihoo was worried after seeing the [Read] explanation.
‘It’s okay, but something is lacking.’
[Recovery] There are also some that do not include related circuits. But you can weave that later. The important thing right now is the power of the arrow itself. And because it was accurate.
Jihoo thought for a while.
And I was able to understand
“… … Have I lost my original intention?”
I couldn’t see the rating because it was covered by the name [Masterpiece]. Naturally, there was no talk, focusing only on functions. There was no time, no story, so there was no way that would happen.
“Let’s get the concept right.”
Fire and water collide and explode in one.
missile propelling. up to the induction aid.
-Use [weak case settings].
Jihoo wrote the story.
But here a question arises.
‘An arrow like this can’t engrave [history].’
Even if it is forced
The only ingredient that went into it was iron.
From nob le mt l. co m
Maybe that’s why I couldn’t come up with the phrase that I could [set history]. Now that I think about it, it feels like [weak setting] replaces [history] for these artifacts.
So the second result came out.
『Frozen Missile [Fire/Water] [Masterpiece/Weak Attack] [Lv. 09]』
: An arrow crafted by a craftsman with exceptional crafting and magic skills. The harmony of cold and fire. In addition, the wind assist has performance enough to remind you of a single missile rather than a simple arrow.
* [Advanced Flame Propulsion Engine]
* [Frozen Arrowhead]
* [Class of Masterpiece]
“… … It’s childish, but satisfying.”
Once you are level 9.
That was a great development.
The [Advanced Flame Propulsion Engine] was an advanced option that included propulsion and trajectory stabilization, which dramatically increased range and power, and would complement Jihoo’s poor archery skills.
And [Frozen Arrowhead] is an advanced option that envelops the entire arrow in cold air, rather than simply exploding with cold air, extending the momentum, freezing the point of impact, and temporarily stun.
‘The price of a masterpiece.’
This was a [Masterpiece] completed with a [weak case setting]. Thanks to this, it should be said that he rose to level 9.
‘A level 9 bow and arrow.’
I do have a slight feeling of regret.
However, it is not easy to rise above level 10 unless you have special materials. It is expected that if he decides to use a bow rather than an arrow and adds a circuit, he will not exceed level 10.
And the more important thing is to retrieve the arrow. I couldn’t keep making arrows that require a lot of work.
‘The most simple way is to use the remaining magic power to slowly fly away when the momentum is lost.’
Trigger: Lose momentum.
Energy: latent mana and vortex.
Retrieval: Coordinates and floating.
It’s like this.
The problem is that if you do this, the payback is too late. But I can’t help it. [Space] If you engrave a related circuit, your belly button is bigger than your stomach.
‘If I make about five, it won’t be enough even if I collect them one by one.’
And more importantly.
It is to upgrade the [Red Desert Shrine’s Bow] and make an [Arrower].
‘What should I do to become more efficient and stronger?’
Jihoo was able to complete a [set artifact] while thinking about it until the weekend.
