Paper 191: Printing Skill Books
The first things I made were Ifrin’s [Giant] and Seprin’s [Blink].
It was a skill that seemed ordinary in a way, but it occupies a great importance in the game and is often classified as a ‘rare item’, a rare item.
‘Giant. It’s hard to just increase the size. The output and volume itself must be increased, but common sense makes no sense. It does not conform to the law of conservation of energy. In the end, where should I pull it from? … .’
Replace with [Transfer]?
It is possible.
However, the ‘transfer’ also requires a minimum probability. Otherwise, an exorbitant price will follow.
For example, something like exhausting life force.
‘I got a hint from the cooldown.’
Past and present.
Current and Future.
The energy that is amplified in the present is taken from the past with a cooldown and the future for a certain period. There shouldn’t be any permanent loss like vitality and stats.
‘Later, when I really need it, I might need a skill that is twice as strong even if there is a loss.’
But that should be avoided.
This is because Ifrin and Seprin need to use it right now. That’s why they dragged in the past and the future, and they want to replace it with cool time.
‘It wouldn’t be bad to keep a crystal of chlorine and then consume it… … .’
It would be nice to have a skill with options.
This is what I set up that way.
[Giant (A)]
: The total amount of energy held, including the size of the user, is amplified up to 2 times, and the instantaneous output can be amplified up to 2.8 times.
* Cool time: 3 days
* Duration: 10 minutes
* Cooldown reset when ‘Crystal of Flame’ is consumed
* Increase output when consuming ‘Crystal of Chlorination’
Double the size and energy total.
Instantaneous output 2.8 times.
In a way, it may not be a big deal. However, depending on the user’s abilities, the effect can be ridiculously variable.
There is a huge difference between [Fireball], which has increased from using 1 energy to 2 low-level flame magic, and a person who used to shoot 200 and shoot 400.
[Dragon], a 7-star lightning type extreme magic, is a giant dragon magic formed by lightning close to ‘transfer’.
It means that the dragon of lightning is powerful enough to cover the sky and burn tens of thousands of monsters at once.
Even a tolerable archmage would be exhausted after one such spell. However, if this [Giantness] is used, it means that it can unfold twice in a row.
There is no front and back [exhaustion].
So it is a scam.
“This should be enough.”
It’s A grade, so this output comes out.
If the grade drops, the output will decrease and the cooldown will increase. It took a total of 5 hours, and the cooldown and output had to be adjusted several times in the middle.
‘Certainly the time has been drastically reduced.’
It was difficult at first, but it became much easier after I got [Gyeok]. Could it be possible to maintain high quality while spending less?
Jihoo didn’t rest.
‘Blink.’
Seprin’s magic skills were enough for this.
The problem is that Blink is also a single magic, so it is very difficult to use it with other magic at the same time.
Especially during combat.
to reduce it
Also, if you can use Blink even in a situation where you can’t use magic, you have a mind that it can be a hidden move.
“… … But it’s a bit disappointing.”
So I asked Seprin directly.
What would be nice if
It’s a skill, not magic.
-That’s nice too… … I think it has a strong feeling of a spare. What about that?
“what?”
-I want to do that! Dad’s energy extraction. What was it? Extracting, fixing and shaping intangible energy-
“Ah, that.”
I was referring to Jihoo’s [Extract/Combine/Fix (Lv. 08)].
The question was, could this be possible?
difficult.
It’s very difficult.
But what if you change some parts?
‘It’s not difficult.’
So I started working.
This also required a line of probability. However, it was difficult to interfere with the intangible energy itself.
but.
‘This is because it’s a spirit.’
The problem is that mass production is difficult.
Also, I couldn’t do it.
‘This should only be used by Seprin.’
that would be better
Even if you make it, it’s better not to spray it. It is better to keep it as a very rare item.
‘I need to use a little SP for this.’
Right away, Jihoo made a skill book without consuming SP. While consuming [Witch’s Power], a power similar to SP.
However, there was no law against using SP. Rather, it will save time and become an efficient production.
that’s how it was done
[Extraction and Shaping (A)]
: After extracting intangible energy, it can be shaped.
The explanation was this.
There is a reason for not including ‘combination’.
This is because if intangible energy can be extracted, it can be combined with the user’s will even without the word ‘combination’.
‘I’m capable of even matter, and this is only formless energy.’
What Seprin wanted was to interfere with [intangible energy], and Jihoo’s special ability is the ability to interfere with the material itself.
Jihoo did not hand over this skill book to the two right away. Based on this skill book, mass production processes must be designed.
* * *
Jihoo separated the space on one side of the shooting range in the backyard. His magic was now at the level of a master, and it was so easy to build a simple building using [Alchemy Transmutation].
“It’s important to put an empty magic book into a potion so that the witch’s power and character can be contained.”
Can it be done simply with medication?
Can not be done.
However, if it is not a simple medicine, but a medicine that Jihoo made himself with SP, the words are different. It was similar to adding additional magic power.
“It is important to minimize SP consumption.”
skill book.
Utilize SP to create skill books such as [Hand that grants energy] to certain medicines and cages… … .
‘I’d rather make it myself using the SP from time to time. It’s a useless process.’
that is a dismissal
No matter how much efficiency is said to be Jihoo, time is now more valuable than SP. SP came in little by little through quests, and already exceeded 400,000 SP.
“Let’s use SP sparingly.”
It is to invest SP in this automation process.
It was difficult to come up with a skill book because I had to make several skill books. I don’t know if I had 1 million SP.
So, it was decided to increase the quality of the skill book produced by consuming SP in a certain part of the automation process and drastically reduce the time.
“then… … .”
1. Drug processing process
2. Story setting process
3. Transcendent manifestation process
Basically, this is the end.
The problem is that Jihoo’s hand is needed in every process. In fact, if this is the only problem, there is no need to create an automated process.
If you do it right, it will be made.
‘Writing the story is taking too long.’
It would be correct to use SP for this part.
copy.
to copy text. If you copied the entire skill book, it would cost an absurd amount of SP, but what if you simply copied the contents?
1. Drug processing process
2. Story copying process
3. Transcendent manifestation process
making it like this
“Then you will definitely need one skill book to be copied.”
It’s not a computer, so I can’t save the story one by one. You must have an actual skill book to copy its contents.
But that much is easy.
“I guess I’ll have to get my hands on the final transfer process.”
so it was decided
In a few days, we should start attacking the 12th floor.
You may just make one copy before that. I had to put them on the auction house one by one, and I had to learn the skills from Ifrin and Seprin.
Jihoo started production as designed.
It was a system that was not too complicated to complete after so long and groaning. On one side, there were stacks of magic books, and a total of 12 magic books were treated with medicine at one time.
The process of transferring to another drug once every 4 hours had to be done three times, and Cage made three layers of three in total, automatically filling and draining the drug.
This process only needs to be designed well.
It is not that the drugs collide with each other, and the order is important, so with a little magic, you can accurately tell the time without mixing.
“To be able to use SP in a place like this.”
The problem was to place the books first and move them to the next process after the processing was finished.
“It’s possible with magic, but it’s not good if magic directly touches the medicine processing process.”
It’s really useless, but thanks to that, the SP consumption wasn’t that great.
“Next is the process of copying the story.”
It is a single cylinder. The inside was filled with pink liquid, which was a medium for copying the story.
At first, I tried to film like metal type, but decided that I couldn’t film this many stories, so it was a [Text Copy Slime] made with a large amount of SP.
This alone consumed 30,000 SP.
“But it can be used semi-permanently… … .”
The time spent with this was more important.
I had plenty of SP right away, and it would come in steadily through quests.
“The last miracle manifestation must be done by me after all.”
This much is easy.
Rather, it would have the effect of preventing others from stealing the skill book in the process.
“Ouch. Be tough.”
Jihoo stretched out and watched the process before going home and falling asleep. It was a rewarding and busy day.
* * *
Another day passed.
With only a few days left to clear the 12th floor, Jihoo looked at the skill book manufacturing process. [Extraction and Formation (A)] were excluded, and only [Energy Wave (A)] and [Giantness (A)] were being copied.
The drug treatment was completed yesterday.
Before going to bed, I entered the text copying process.
And now, all you have to do is manifest a miracle.
– A total of 1,000 SP is consumed.
-Are you sure you want to save those settings?
transfer expression.
This also consumed SP. This can also be reduced with witch power, but it takes about an hour.
An hour of Jihoo now has a higher value than 1,000SP.
‘The SP consumed to create one skill book is 1,000, and it takes about 9 hours in total. It’s all about checking the time I spend and manifesting the transfer… … Including the time to and from here, there are only five minutes left.’
That’s enough.
In addition, being able to copy Grade A to Grade B was a great advantage.
“I copied 12 skill books, 6 in total at a time.”
Jihoo picked up the completed skill book.
This can be said to be efficient enough. The only way to find out how much one skill book is worth is to check the system auction.
“Well, the items in the store sold out in no time. But who lives like this?”
A lot of things are a lot of things.
Hundreds of potions and hundreds of scrolls. The sales amount of the volume that went up at once exceeded billions and reached 10 billion, and the profits obtained in the process have already exceeded 1 billion.
In a way, it may be natural.
The whole world is the target, and the price is not bad. No, considering the peddler statue in front of the dungeon, the price could be absurdly cheap.
In places like towers and dungeons where supplies cannot be supplied, there would be no better option than this.
“Should I increase things?”
Storage capacity is sufficient.
Also, since there are a few more stores besides Jihoo, it won’t be as easy to sell as it is now.
‘It’ll be okay if I open a shop specializing in skills later.’
The same goes for quests.
In particular, it wouldn’t be bad to issue a special quest and cast a rare skill. If you bet something that you can’t buy even if you give tens of billions or hundreds of billions… … .
“I think I can collect SP.”
In addition, the system is capable of mass transfer.
This means that you don’t have to send and receive quest scrolls offline. Like a game system, you give the quest you want and receive a reward.
In a way, it doesn’t look any different from a request, but the [Skill Book] reward is ‘special’ itself.
That evening, a bomb was dropped on the system community.
