nKnock. Knock.

n

"Come in, did you give up already? well, you can leave if you want to.

"

nThe smith didn't even bother looking at me, as he continued concentrating on his work.

nthump!

nI dropped the crate I was holding in my hands.

n

"What?... did you actually manage to refine the entire batch?!

"

nHe stared at me in disbelief as I smiled confidently.

nDaily Quest done!

n'Ore Refining' reaches Lv.4, strength and constitution increase by 1.

n'Ore refining' Lv.4

nSkill type: Passive

n*The time required for refining an ore decreases by 40%

n*The quality of the refined ingot increases by 40%

nI had managed to push the skill to lv.3 before I finished the ores, and as soon as I finished the quest, I managed to hit level 4.

n

"They are not badly done, this piece of ingot even approaches the quality of 2 time refined ingot!

"

n

"Did you really do all of this?!

"

n

"I didn't sleep for the night and tried my best to finish them as fast as possible in order to help Mr. Smith!

"

n

"Ah, I think I might have underestimated you, you might have a knack for this..... I wish I could teach you more, but I'm just too busy, sigh…

"

n

"Then, can I ask for a much simpler request?

"

n

"Hmmmm?

"

n

"I wonder if you can allow me to read the books you have about smithing, I believe in my ability to self-study

"

n

"Well, even for you, it won't be that easy, the knowledge I have are too precious. Do you think you are worthy to read them?

"

n

"I think so, it is all to help Mr. Smith after all!

"

n

"Well, if you can finish refining the rest of the ores left in the smithy's warehouse, I will let you enter my library for one day only, whatever you can learn will depend on your ability.

"

n

"Deal!

"

n

"Hehe, not so fast.

"

nThe smith came back while pulling 5 large crates, I finally understood that it won't be that easy to finish them within the week….

n>>>>>

n6 days later...

nDaily Quest done!

n'Ore Refining' reaches Lv.7, constitution increases by 1

n'Ore refining' Lv.7

nSkill type: Passive

n*The time required for refining an ore decreases by 70%

n*The quality of the refined ingot increases by 70%.

nBy the end of the week, I had finally finished the task while increasing the level of 'Ore refining' which didn't seem as easy to level up anymore to lv.7, as I received a small boost to my stats in the process.

n

"Whew, your speed is quite shocking, I expected you to take at least two weeks to get the job done.

"

nI followed the smith to a small building beside the smithy.

n

"However you did a job well done, I shall do my part of the promise.

"

nI entered the small shack which seemed to be full of books, even more than mine, it was finally time for harvest.
