Episode 7

Afterwards, with Emily’s help, we secured enough materials.

A few useful trees were felled and trimmed, and other than that, I caught a few slimes that lived in forest pools and put them in a barrel.

Gathering complete with this!

“With this enough, I’ll make anything I need.”

“Why did you catch the slime?”

Emily asked, pointing to the half-melted slime in the vat.

“I’m going to use the undiluted solution instead of wax.”

“… … huh?”

As a material for anti-corrosion and brightening agents, slime’s undiluted solution is a usable material.

Emily tilted her head, apparently not knowing that part.

Knowledgeable in magic but rather dark in human skills is a typical demonic trait.

“First, I will process the wood into parts.”

“part?”

I know it when I see it.

I recognized the activation of the blacksmith skill with the wood pile in front of me.

Then, the blueprint of the work I need to do flashes through my mind.

The hand moves right away.

“I’d like to make decent things, but unfortunately I can’t.”

Because the blacksmith skill level is low.

To the end, the skills I acquired were, at best, to the extent of correcting my hand movements for processing things.

It’s only about having the talent of an apprentice who trained for about 5 years.

“For now, that is enough.”

I make the necessary parts one by one according to the shape envisioned in my head.

For example a chair.

It is completed by cutting, shaving, and making the legs one by one, fitting the finished parts together, and assembling them.

It would be nice to have something like nails or hinges, but I don’t have the money to buy it, so I have to assemble it by fitting it together.

If there is a blacksmith skill correction, that much can be processed sufficiently.

Long live the skill.

“… … Did Xian ever work in a workshop or something?”

“There’s never been a time when I was so sincere.”

“Then what did you do in the past?”

“uh… … . Were you beaten up for stealing bread from the side of the road?”

It’s Xi’an’s memory.

“Or did you say something wrong and get insulted?”

This is Anshihan’s memory.

I said what came to mind without much thought, but before I knew it, Emily stroked my hair.

sympathized with the devil

“Anyway, I haven’t worked anywhere in particular, but I can imitate it roughly.”

First of all, I was a YouTuber, so I watched the broadcasts of my partners to get broadcasting tips.

There were all sorts of things.

From cooking to even making videos by cutting, cutting, and processing trees.

Above all, a man who has lived through his 20s in Korea knows how to make something with just a saw and a hammer.

Damn Protagonist, I’ll curse you for the rest of your life.

‘There is a correction effect through the skill, so it won’t fail.’

Thanks to having blacksmith skills, I was able to imitate them.

If the skill level rises and you can acquire more various things, you will be able to make elaborate things.

so snappy

The sound of sawing and hammering echoes through this forest for hours.

“This kind of work is very time consuming, isn’t it?”

Whether it was his skills or the instincts of a boy, he was able to get some of the things he needed before the sun went down thanks to his concentration and not getting tired of it.

Bed and workbench for work. And enough closets to put clothes, etc.

Lastly, apply a wax substitute made by processing the slime undiluted solution and dry it in the wind created by magic, and you’re done!

《You have obtained a wooden chair.》

《You have obtained a straw bed.》

《You have obtained a wooden desk.》

《You have obtained a wooden wardrobe.》

something to be proud of

I can understand the feelings of a person who is obsessed with making furniture.

but.

“Hmm, is it a bit lacking?”

Something is missing.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Wouldn’t it be just barely matching the way I live?’

why do i suffer like this

I’m trying to make furniture that fits my body so that my body is very comfortable.

‘This isn’t enough.’

bed for example.

It was somehow shaped and first made by laying dry straw and stuffing it.

‘But this isn’t the bed I want.’

Softness, coziness.

Above all, science is lacking.

I don’t know what that science is, but it’s not enough!

‘The skill here is lacking, so I’ll have to fill it with something else.’

Magic for example?

It must be a world where magic exists even if there is no science.

Marchen or fantasy.

“Should I even remodel what I already do?”

“remodeling?”

“There is something I want to try. It may be a hassle, but help, Emily.”

You’ll know what to do when you see it.

‘First of all, these pieces of furniture are completed items.’

For example a chair.

<< wooden chair >>

《Grade : D》

“no effect”

《Set Effect: None》

《Enhancement Slot: 1》

As in the game, you can check the value as an item.

‘It’s a strengthening slot.’

Unlike wooden chairs sold in shops, handmade items have one reinforcement slot, even at the minimum quality.

Literally the advantage of custom made.

What does this mean?

‘It means that I can make better things.’

It means that through some means, it can be remodeled to be usable.

“The conditions are black magic class and alchemist class. And have enough Magi.”

However, the amount of magic I have right now is not enough, so I will use Emily’s ability to absorb magic from the surroundings and supplement it.

All you need is enough.

Naturally, the necessary knowledge and the process for implementing it are organized in the head.

“I’ll have to draw a magic circle to execute the spell.”

Draw a magic circle with mercury.

Traditionally, mercury is a representative magic power conductor through which mana flows smoothly.

Therefore, it is the most widely used material when drawing a magic circle on the spot.

“Consciousness? Are you sacrificing material and demonic energy to strengthen the target?”

Emily reads the meaning of the magic circle and tilts her head.

The knowledge and understanding of demons are innate due to the nature of their race, so even Jin who sees them for the first time will immediately understand the contents.

‘However, the devil’s power of thinking is stagnant… … .’

So demons understand magic, but they cannot develop magic.

“… … draft? How the hell do you know this?”

“There are a lot of things I picked up roughly.”

From now on, furniture will be transformed into a higher level item.

“Emily, it’s the secret to synthesizing the Magi and furniture you supply and strengthening them into new items.”

“Are you going to do well with this?”

“It doesn’t matter if we fail, so let’s try a little experiment.”

If you do it well, you’ll get usable furniture and the perks that come with it, or what?

I’m just a little sorry

《Are you sure you want to run the Black Magic Castle?》

Let’s begin.

It emits demonic energy, and the energy flows through the magic circle and covers the chair placed in the middle.

black magic.

A synthesis skill that is unlocked by taking black magic and alchemy skills.

‘The principle is to control the demonic energy and integrate it with the elements of the chair that becomes the material.’

However, what determines the success rate is individual skill.

In the game, clearing a few mini-games increases the success rate, but what about here?

Skills that have been acquired and established are telling you what to do.

‘I have to directly control the demonic energy to induce synthesis.’

It is synthesized by controlling demonic energy.

If you do it perfectly, the reinforcement will be successful.

“Okay… … . It’s pretty tough.”

It’s not easy.

To put it in an analogy, it feels like holding magnets of the same poles forcibly and facing each other.

“The trick… … Is it still lacking? Synthesis is tough!”

structure is understood. I couldn’t have missed the work order either.

But doing it yourself requires concentration.

More than anything, it’s hard work just to hold on to this bastard’s demonic spirit.

“Are you lacking in experience where it really matters?”

Perhaps having read my grievances, Emily steps up to me and whispers.

what are you doing?

Shhhhh, don’t bother and get away. i’ll play with you later what kind of cat

“I have the knowledge, but I lack the experience.”

It’s really playful, but there’s a little seriousness in the voice.

As if trying to teach you something.

“Knowledge is amazing, but the knack for handling it is lacking.”

For some reason, he carefully traced my arm with his fingertips as if rubbing it.

soon understood

blood vessel.

I’m pointing out the flow.

It is as if it induces by recognizing a certain path.

“… … you.”

“Listen calmly. Energy is not about dealing with force, it’s about giving orders in a lofty way.”

It seems that he noticed what I was struggling with and was trying to teach him.

“Then, naturally, the flow will move according to your will.”

Hagiya, seeking knowledge from demons is just like a warlock.

“okay.”

I took the persimmon again, obediently following the advice.

Above all, Emily’s explanation was not very different from the concept of mana control in the game I knew.

‘Right… … . I think you know what I mean.’

At the time of the contract, he boasted that he was a genius, so if he made a mistake, his pride would be hurt.

‘I have to succeed.’

The flow of work changes.

An image is drawn as if elements that are likely to bounce off at any moment are slowly mixed.

‘done!’

《Synthesis succeeded.》

《You have acquired the housing item ‘Dark Chair’.》

Goodbye to plain wooden chairs.

Oh my God, the light of Magi was removed and appeared from within! This is a completely new design chair.

A chair that gives off a nice gloss as if it had been painted with black lacquer was born.

《Chair stained with darkness》

《Rating: C》

《Effect: Production system skill quality correction +10%》

《Set Effect: Dark Furniture Set (Inactive)》

“Was it better than expected?”

Furniture set stained with darkness is an item that can be obtained by strengthening low-rank wooden furniture by pouring demonic energy.

However, the single item effect was random, so I didn’t expect it, but this is good enough.

“me… … He must have been a real genius.”

“Yes, yes. Huhuhu~, Xian is a genius.”

Somehow, as if praising a child, Emily patted me at my self-talk.

“You did well, so I’ll give you a prize later.”

“… … .”

“oh? Do you hate being treated as a child?”

“What more do you say?”

pat on the floor

Xian is a child who needs to be hugged and comforted to grow up.

“Anyway, I got the gist.”

And the experiment yielded satisfactory results.

‘With this, I’ll be able to aim for the set effect smoothly, right?’

I smirked at the remaining furniture.

The work has gained momentum, so let’s complete everything with this momentum.

‘I can have a housing item!’

* * *

housing item.

Unlike items such as equipment or potions, it is a name that refers to the type of item that is placed in one’s living area.

Players can obtain the means of residence they desire.

Starting with pitching a tent in the front yard of the academy, you can buy an inn or a building downtown.

Or you can acquire territory and build a new one entirely.

So, do you just get such a living quarter?

No way!

‘The living quarters in the game were content to give buffs to the player character.’

Housing items exist for that purpose.

‘The effect can never be ignored.’

look

《Dark Furniture Set》

《Applies when you have 4 sets of the corresponding furniture item.》

《Set effect: All stats +65》

《Living Area Recovery Protection (Medium) Occurrence》

《Plant resistance +25》

Depending on the effect of the placed furniture, additional bonuses are generated to the player’s stats and skills.

Depending on the furniture, you can get an effect equal to that of quite a few equipment items.

‘If you get this effect, you can act in a somewhat advantageous position even while the scenario in Chapter 1 is in progress.’

At least compared to the other characters, I would be ahead of the freshmen.

‘It’s literally the same as carrying one or two more equipment.’

Place the completed furniture and quietly wait for the effect to activate.

《The housing set effect is applied.》

A strange power rises.

“Oh oh! Does it really work?”

oh my gosh, it’s amazing

“draft”

《Class: Warlock》

《Class Level: 1》

《Stamina: 95》《Magic Power: 106》《Agility: 82》《Luck: 76》

《Physical Defense: 5》 《Magical Defense: 9》 《Mental Resistance: 3》

《Plant tolerance: 25》

I have furniture, and my body starts to overflow with strength.

‘Wow! Where is this level 1?’

Isn’t it a spec that can be obtained by taking level 10?

This is the power of tempal!

Those who know the game will rule the world.

Exactly!

Emily, as her familiar, noticed this change in me and was shocked.

“People these days are grotesque.”

You wouldn’t have even heard of a human being getting stronger when furniture was brought into the house.
