After settling his personal business, Kieran put on the virtual helmet once again. Everything became dark before he appeared in the lobby of the game again.
His mailbox had been spammed while he was away. Considering the number of the messages, it could only be Lawless.
…
Lawless: I found u a gauntlet!
Lawless: 800 Points, Rarity Great, it fits ur criteria!
Lawless: No Magic equipment though, it was too hard to find!
Lawless: Last time, when I bombarded that Burrow Dragon, it only dropped a Magical Rank item! Damn it, dragon! That’s totally unworthy of your bloodline! At least give me some Rare equipment!
…
After a lot of BS, Lawless finally sent over a screenshot and enabled the trading option.
[Name: Tiger’s Finger (Right Hand)]
[Type: Gauntlet]
[Rarity: Great]
[Attacking Power: Weak]
[Attributes: None]
[Effects: None]
[Prerequisites: None]
[Remarks: It might look like a punk accessory, but it sure can throw a punch if you know how to use it!]
…
The item on the trade window was exactly what Kieran had imagined.
It was black in color and made out of four pieces of metal chained together.
After a quick scan, Kieran accepted the deal.
He had mentioned that he was looking for a Magical Rank equipment as a last minute thought. if there had been one, it would have been good, but none would do him no harm either.
Kieran did not insist on getting a Magical Rank item, because embedding the jewel onto the equipment would enhance the equipment with magic as well.
After paying 800 Points, Kieran now had 32,400 Points, 17 Skill Points, 1 Golden Skill Point, and 1 Golden Attribute Point.
The total from the sale of the jewels was 21,000 Points and 12 Skill Points. The dungeon rewards had been 12,200 Points, 5 Skill Points, 1 Golden Skill Point, and 1 Golden Attribute Point.
After he calculated the total sum, he PMed Blacksmith.
…
2567: You there?
Blacksmith: Talk.
2567: Embedding.
Blacksmith: 1,000 Points.
…
A platform similar to the one Kieran had bought on the forum appeared in front of him along with a form.
“Please place the item to be embedded on the platform and pay 1,000 Points.”
“Fill in the form. The whole process is being monitored by the game system.”
The mechanical voice stated that the trade was being monitored by the system, a fact that gave Kieran some reassurance.
He signed the form and placed the [Tiger’s Finger] and the cracked [Topaz] on the platform.
After a minute, a new item called [Lightning Tiger’s Finger] appeared in Kieran’s hand.
[Name: Lightning Tiger’s Finger (Right Hand)]
[Type: Gauntlet]
[Rarity: Great]
[Attack: Common]
[Attributes: Lightning Enhancement]
[Effects: None]
[Prerequisites: Hand-to-hand Combat (Entry)]
[Remarks: This is a product of embedding.]
…
[Lightning Enhancement: Each attack will trigger 4-8 Points of Lightning Damage Effect]
…
The originally black item was now embedded with several lightning stripes, but other than that, nothing else was different.
Kieran put the glove on his right hand and clenched his fist. The glove produced a small lightning effect around his hand, but it did not harm him.
Kieran nodded in satisfaction.
He wanted to thank Blacksmith, but by that time, the player had already gone offline.
“A chatterbox and a man of few words…”
Kieran shook his head and left a thank you message for Blacksmith. Then he turned his eyes to the skills window.
Now that he had acquired the [Lightning Tiger’s Finger], he could leave the [Sharp Weapon (Dagger)] skill, and focus on the [Hand-to-Hand Combat] skill. According to his upgrading plan, after the [Hand-to-hand Combat] skill were the [Firearm Weapon (Light Firearm)], [Evading], [Undercover], [Tracking] and [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art] skills, followed by the [Barsical Kick], which was capped by the [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art] skill.
[Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Arts, (Basic→Entry), Received lecture from skill instructor, cost dropped to 2,500 Points, 1 Golden Skill Point, Yes/No?]
