Reading Webnovels Makes Me Stronger

Chapter 80

Park Si-joon decided to organize the things that were pushed back first.

The first thing to do was to meet Kim Baek-kyung.

gang, cack!

A workshop near Seoul. As we got closer, we heard hammers beating.

Park Si-jun opened the workshop door.

Kaang, kang!

In the middle of the workshop, Kim Baek-kyung was hitting the hammer.

He was making an item.

“Are you okay?”

“Oh, are you here?”

Kim Baek-kyung was sweating profusely and greeted Park Si-joon.

As I got closer, I could smell the sweat and it fell off.

“It’s been two weeks now?”

“Has that already happened?”

“Yeah. I don’t know because I stay up all night.”

Kim Baek-kyung’s eyes widened.

There were dark spots around his eyes. He said he didn’t sleep properly, so it was natural.

‘It takes quite a while.’

Those who made a contract with the Iron-Blooded Blacksmith are different from ordinary blacksmiths.

You can craft items much faster by adjusting the characteristics.

Two weeks for one item is a really long time.

“It’s fun to make…”

Kim Baek-kyung scratched his head.

“It’s the first time I can put as much effort as I want, and it’s the first time I’m using the ingredients I want to my heart’s content.”

“Are you satisfied?”

“I was satisfied. Absolutely.”

Baekkyung Kim smiled and took a box from the shelf below.

“Once I made two.”

“Two outlines?”

I thought I made one, but I think I made two. It was surprising.

“Yes. Oh, it’s not the same material you entrusted me with last time. That’s something I plan to use after I have developed more skills.”

It wasn’t a bad idea.

The skill proficiency must still be low.

Even if you use the material now, the item you want may not come out.

“Well…….”

Park Si-jun opened the box that Kim Baek-kyung had given him.

Boots were inside.

“It’s boots.”

“Yeah, the boots seemed a little worn out, so I made one.”

It was a type of boot made of leather and covered with steel.

Park Si-joon listened intently.

‘Yes?’

It was surprisingly light. It was unbelievable weight for boots with steel padding.

I checked the item description.

[Sprinter’s Boots (A)]

Incredibly lightweight boots. It was made by a blacksmith full of passion, although his skills were still lacking. Thanks to the in-depth study of the use of the material, its properties were properly preserved.

– Defense +17

-Movement speed +7%

– 20% additional damage while sprinting

– 20% additional defense while sprinting

-Skill: Can use sprint

– Wear limit: Strength 52, Dexterity 64

– Required level: 28

Park Si-jun was at a loss for words for a moment.

He was a boot with incredible performance for a low required level.

But that wasn’t the end.

[Knight’s Pauldrons (A)]

Pauldrons created by combining strong minerals in a novel way. It was made by a blacksmith full of passion, although his skills were still lacking.

– Defense +29

– Defense +10%

-All stats +10

– Defense related skill efficiency +20%

-Skill: Can use protection

– Wear restrictions: strength 56, stamina 72

– Required level: 35

It was a point-of-view.

Park Si-joon’s eyes were confused.

“Hey, you made these?”

“Yes. Oh, it’s a bit disappointing. If my skills were a little bit better, I would have made it better…”

Kim Baek-kyung slurped his taste buds as if he was really sorry.

‘Are you crazy?’

I was shocked to see that.

“I’ve learned a lot though. I think I can make better items next time.”

“That’s right?”

How great it would be if we could do better here.

I had nothing to say.

Kim Baek-kyung’s smartphone rang.

He looked at the screen of his smartphone and frowned.

“Why is that. Did you call?”

“Yes, but…”

Kim Baek-kyung showed the screen. There it was written that it was a workshop chief.

“It’s a call from the workshop manager. I haven’t received a call for a few days because I only made this…”

“What did you say you didn’t go to work?”

“right.”

Kim Baek-kyung scratched his head.

Park Si-joon looked at him.

“What do you think?”

“Yes? What do you mean?”

“Do you want to go back to your original workshop, or do you want to stay here?”

In response to the sudden question, Kim Baek-kyung bit his entire mouth.

“that…….”

He sighed heavily as he fiddled with his hammer.

“I don’t want to go back.”

“Why?”

“I’m sorry for causing so many accidents, and it’s hard to bear people ignoring me…”

And there was the biggest reason.

“It makes me so impatient when I’m there. I have a daily quota. It was too hard for me.”

“I wouldn’t be here if I was here.”

“That’s right. I can make what I want to make, spend as much time as I want, and focus on making it.”

Kim Baek-kyung laughed.

“But I have to go back. That’s where I belong…”

“Mr. Baekkyung Kim.”

“Yes?”

Park Si-joon, who was watching him, quietly spoke his words.

“Do you want to work with me?”

“Yes? Uh, me, me?”

Kim Baek-kyung was greatly embarrassed.

His own skills are not good. He is also treated as a treasure trove in the workshop.

He wants to work with him like that.

“There is a guild house. We’re building a new workshop right next to it. When it’s complete, you can use it as you like.”

“A new workshop…”

“If you have nowhere to stay, you can stay in the guild house.”

Kim Baek-kyung opened his mouth as if surprised.

“Because it’s a new guild, there must be many shortcomings. I can guarantee one thing though. I’ll let you do whatever you want.”

“Do whatever I want…”

“Make what you want to make, spend as much time as you want, and use whatever material you want to write. Just like now.”

Park Si-jun carefully placed his hand on Kim Baek-kyung’s shoulder.

“Are you okay?”

“Hey, are you okay?”

“It’s fine.”

“No, it’s not. I owe a lot to the workshop.”

Kim Baek-kyung bowed his head.

“The amount of mistakes I made is accumulating into debt…..”

“How much?”

“It’s about 120 million won.”

Park Si-joon’s brow twitched.

How the hell did you get into an accident and how would you accumulate debt in that unit?

But he couldn’t help it.

“I’ll pay you back.”

“Oh, no. I’ll pay it back. To ask for that…”

“It’s not that I’m going to repay it for free, I’ll lend it to you. Interest-free. You can pay it back when you can afford it.”

Park Si-joon scratched his cheek.

If you just offer to pay it back, you will feel a huge burden on the man’s personality.

It would be better to say that they lend you money. to each other.

‘If you can get a blacksmith of this level for only about 100 million… … .’

it’s like nothing

If you really want to pay it back later, you’ll have to give it some other way.

‘Eat free, my conscience is pricked.’

While Park Si-jun was thinking like that, Kim Baek-kyung looked at him with eyes wet with emotion.

“From one to ten, I’m really sorry. Ko, I’ll pay you back!”

“With your skill level, you can pay that amount back quickly.”

Kim Baek-kyung sniffed his nose.

“I never thought that there would be someone who looked up to me so highly…”

Kim Baek-kyung’s eyes turned red, and then his thick tears began to fall.

“I will follow you for the rest of my life, bro!”

“What is your brother?”

The moment I was about to slap my hand saying that I became Park Si-jun, a message popped up.

[The hidden talent has been discovered. Kim Baek-kyung feels great compassion and human affection for you.][We have hired Baekkyung Kim. New talents are unlocked as a result of the recruitment effect and existing talents are changed.][He helped those in need. Honor rises.]

It was the effect of the greatest scout.

Park Si-jun once again confirmed Kim Baek-kyung’s talent.

– Overcame the penalty with the will to repay the benefactor. growth rate is accelerated

[Inherited craftsmanship (S)]

The skill of the craftsman handed down from generation to generation was artificially awakened. The mastery of blacksmith-related traits increases rapidly. You can learn how to craft by looking at the items, and through it, you can come up with and create unexpected things on your own.

‘Inherited craftsmanship?’

Park Si-jun tilted his head.

“Kim Baek-kyung, did anyone in her family ever worked as a blacksmith?”

“Yes? How did you know that? He’s dead now, but my father was a blacksmith.”

“Were you famous?”

“Uh, people around me called me a craftsman.”

Park Si-jun burst into laughter.

“Huh, really.”

Why do you have these talents?

‘Is this hereditary?’

It was a pleasant mistake.

* * *

All that remains is to talk to the workshop manager and get Kim Baek-kyung to come out.

Park Si-jun met with the workshop manager.

“Is it you? The one who tricked our newcomer into truancy.”

The craftsman’s tone of voice was peculiar.

Should I say that he is like watching a historical drama?

It was awkward as he heard something.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“It’s not that I was coerced, it’s that I chose to come.”

“It’s a choice.”

The craftsman snorted a little.

“Even if you’re here anyway, won’t you give me a proper job?”

“Well.”

Park Si-jun stared at the workshop leader who neither denied nor affirmed.

he gasped.

“Well, good. If you want to take him, take him. He’s not going to help anyway. Instead.”

“Are you going to pay back the amount of damage Kim Baek-kyung has caused?”

“Yeah, I was a member of our workshop, so I gave that money instead. I can’t wait to see him run away just by inflicting damage.”

member. Park Si-jun laughed bitterly.

If he really thought so, Baekkyung Kim would not have come to him.

“I’ll pay for it.”

“It’s 120 million won in total. Let’s get rid of miscellaneous interest and things like that.”

The workshop manager looked at Park Si-jun’s face.

“Are you okay?”

“Heh, it wasn’t rotten enough to even think about making money with that. It’s a little money that doesn’t mean much in the first place.”

A person who runs a workshop that manufactures players’ items. Even if he receives 120 million won in interest, it is nothing more than a penny.

“It’s nice that it’s cool. Please call the account. I’ll deposit it.”

Park Si-jun deposited the money directly into the account called by the workshop manager.

If it was him in the past, it would be impossible for him to deposit 100 million.

But not now.

“You seem to be sending it more easily than I thought. I thought I’d do something to block it.”

“What are you going to do to stop him? Kim Baek-kyung was a troublemaker in our studio. If he had left him anyway, he would have kicked him out sooner or later.”

“Ok?”

Park Si-jun narrowed his eyes.

troublesome. If you think of Kim Baek-kyung that way, why did you accept it?

“Then why did you bring Kim Baek-kyung into the workshop?”

“Because I didn’t know that.”

“You didn’t know that?”

The workshop master smoked a cigarette and took a deep breath of smoke.

“The first time I met him was at the training camp. I went looking for new recruits. I saw the items he made there. Very surprising…”

“You seem to have a high rating.”

“Yeah, it was an A-grade item. The potential was low, but he’s a guy who can make that kind of item.”

He thought it was worth taking.

The workshop chief muttered bitterly.
