Chapter 6: Blacksmitt Shop Crozzo

Blacksmith Crozzo store.

*Ring*

A female employee who had long yellow hair, fair skin, and wearing normal dress clothes immediately turned her attention towards the entrance of the store where at this time Ars, Rayleigh, and Shakky walked inside.

The female employee is named Anita.

"Welcome to Blacksmith Crozzo" Anita immediately greeted the arrival of the three of them with a professional smile, "What equipment do you want to look for? Our shop provides a glass of various kinds of equipment and can also place special orders for the desired equipment."

"Thank you. We just want to take a look here" Ars retorted to her, "It's not a problem for us to come just to see the things prepared by your store, right? Your store is quite famous, especially since the owner of this store is a famous Blacksmith, we want to see every item that is in this store even if it is not himself who made it"

"Oh? Want to take a look. Of course. It was a matter of course. You guys can do it. If you need help with an item you don't know, please ask. I will be happy to help to explain to you guys"

"Thank you"

"She doesn't know you?" Shakky asked strangely.

"I don't like popularity. Few know me as the owner of this place. Usually, people know me are the big guys who are in this dungeon"

"Big guys? Is the owner of this shop one of them?" Rayleigh asked.

"He is also one of them" Ars nodded then walked towards the direction where some things were, "Equipment is a very important item for an adventurer to have especially for adventurers who don't have any skills. Because with the equipment, the ability of the body they have will be able to increase compared to before. Helmet, Clothes, Pants, A Pair of Gloves, A Pair of Sapatu, and Weapons. These six pieces of equipment are a must-have for a novice adventurer who wants to go on an adventure to an area that is not a safe zone area."

Ars picked up a helmet that was close to him and then opened the status panel of the helmet.

Instantly the status panel of the helmet opened.

Helmet

Quality: Normal

Level: 1

· Defense 5

Ability:-

"This helmet is a normal helmet with the lowest level. Usually, items that have normal quality up to rare quality do not have any abilities. Only when the item has reached epic quality, the item has the possibility of gaining ability." Ars paused and continued, "This helmet can be used by someone whose level is still at level one, and also by using this helmet later the adventurer's defense status will increase by several points that can be obtained which are currently seen in the information state."

Ars put the helmet back down and picked up a Pair of Shoes and opened his status panel.

A Pair of Shoes

Quality: Normal

Level: 1

· Defense 5

· Speed 5

Ability:-

"Two upgrades?" Rayleigh asked with interest.

"Sure" Ars nodded, "There are some items that usually have some attributes to improve the status of adventurers. For example, this pair of normal shoes. By the time adventurers use these shoes, they will get an increase in defense and also speed by 5 points on their strength status. It's the same with helmets because these are only of low quality, these helmets themselves do not have any abilities that can be given to adventurers"

Rayleigh and Shakky nodded.

"Then, every piece of equipment that will later be used can be used in two modes," Ars said calmly as he put the pair of shoes back.

"Two modes?" Rayleigh and Shakky asked.

"The first mode is the visible mode where in that mode the equipment items used by the adventurer will be able to be seen and also felt directly by the adventurer. While the second mode is an invisible mode where in that mode the items of equipment used will become invisible, adventurers will also not feel the existence of the equipment in their bodies."

"It was effective" Rayleigh nodded, "I won't figure out how I would look if I used such a helmet to fight"

"It's bound to look pretty ridiculous" Shakky suddenly added.

"This place, in addition to adventurers, can later buy equipment. This place can also be used by adventurers to increase the strength of their equipment."

"Upgrade?" Rayleigh asked with interest.

Ars nodded and went to one of the swords that were there and picked it up then took it to Rayleigh and Shakky.

"For example, this sword," Ars immediately opened the sword status panel.

Goblin Sword +5

Quality: Normal

Level: 5

· Strength 35

Ability:-

"This sword has been upgraded using a material called iron ore and has been increased 5 times and it is visible with the presence of a +5 marker that follows the name of this equipment. The higher the increase of a weapon, the stronger the weapon will be, and the stronger the increase that will be obtained by the adventurer who owns the weapon. Meanwhile, with the higher the increase possessed by the weapon, the main material for upgrading the weapon will also increase, the price for the upgrade will also be higher, and the probability of the weapon being destroyed at the time of the upgrade will be higher as well."

"Is there also a possibility of the equipment being destroyed?" Rayleigh asked.

"Of course" Ars nodded, "That is the risk to bear. However, for items with normal to rare quality to upgrade to level 10, it is relatively easy, and rarely the item is destroyed. Later on when the item will step to the level of more than 10 the probability of being destroyed becomes higher than before even reaching 75% the item will be destroyed at the time of the upgrade process" Ars paused and continued, "While for rare items to the top, usually these items are still quite easy to upgrade to level 5. As for level five and above, the probability of the destruction of the item is also high and even reaches the 75% mark."

"... It's a gamble..." Shakky muttered.

"Nonetheless. If the upgrade is successful, the items owned will provide a fairly high increase compared to before" Rayleigh said.

"Yes. However, they also had to challenge the consequences of the destruction of the items they had: Ars said, "Especially the Blacksmith side themselves will not interfere in this matter. By the time the item will begin to be upgraded from a level 7 upgrade upwards, later each Blacksmith will award a contract agreement by which the adventurer will not blame the Blacksmith for the destruction of the item during the upgrade process."

"What if the wrong thing is Blasksmitt itself?" Shakky asked with interest.

"If what goes wrong is Blacksmith itself, later that Blacksmith will replace the crushed item with a new item of better quality still the same item," Ars said, "However, such cases are rare. Because every Blacksmith is upholding their work. They will not dare to commit such an act of cheating because it will only destroy their name which will later affect their store."

Rayleigh and Shakky nodded.

"Well, for adventurers whose equipment items have reached an increase of +13 later, later the items owned by the adventurer will emit a bright light"

"A light? What are special effects?" Shakky asked.

"Just say that" Ars nodded, "The higher the upgrade of the equipment, the cooler the effect that the weapon will show. For example, when the item has reached an increase of +15. The item will emit a red aura that gives dominance to anyone who sees it. Although the adventurer will close the equipment used by him using the invisible mode. However, the effect will still be visible later."

Ars then went to put the Wolf Sword +5 where it was originally and walked back, "Well, we're done here. Let's continue the journey"

Shakky and Rayleigh nodded.

Ars' gaze then looked towards Anita, "Thank you for letting you have a look"

"You're welcome, sir. If Mr. needs adventurous equipment. Please come to our place. We will prepare the equipment that Mr. wants"

"I understand"

Ars nodded and immediately led Rayleigh and Shakky to walk out from inside the Crozzo Blacksmith Store.

"Where are we next, Ars?" Rayleigh asked with interest.

"We are going to the popular restaurant on this floor," Ars said calmly, "Later after that, I will take you guys away to the Colosseum and also the Alchemist Wiz Shop"

"Alchemist Shop?" Shakky asked with interest.

"The Alchemist Shop is a shop that sells a wide variety of potions. For example, the same elixir potions and others. There sell a variety of such goods... Hmmm... If I'm not mistaken, there are also usually ingredients that can help to nourish the skin of women. It was a kind of pill. This item is quite popular among the women in this dungeon"

"A pill for nourishing the skin? What benefits are so good for maintaining the skin?" Shakky asked.

"That's good. The women in the dungeon like this, especially women who are already 30 years old. They will usually keep in their homes to keep their skin in the best condition possible."

"Hmm... So that's it. Therefore, I see that every skin of the women in this dungeon is still very good even though they are quite old" Shakky replied.

It didn't take long for the three to finally arrive in front of the Restaurant that Ars wanted to address.

Yukihira Restaurant.

"Yukihira Restaurant?" Rayleigh asked.

"This is a pretty popular restaurant on this floor. Although there are many restaurants that also have a food taste comparable to the taste of the food from this restaurant. However, for the issue of its price, this restaurant provides a low price. The cheapest food price for this restaurant is 3 bronze coins while the most expensive one that normal guests can find is 10 bronze coins"

"The most expensive to find? Does it mean that there are still dishes at a higher price?" Shakky asked.

"Yes," Ars nodded, "The chef of this restaurant is one of the best chefs in this dungeon. Although no one knows it. They only know the owner of this place is a kind old man with good cooking skills. They didn't know that the owner of this place was one of the best chefs in the dungeon. Not only him, but also his son is also great. However, for his child. It is not currently working here but rather working on the top floor in this dungeon"

"The top floor?" Rayleigh asked, shrugging his forehead, "Well, Ars. I'm pretty concerned here. Do the people in this dungeon have access to go to a higher floor than this?"

"Of course" Ars nodded, "The residents have access to every floor. You see the portal that is in the middle of the park that we came from before, right? A portal is a place for residents and adventurers to be able to travel to every floor. However, nowadays only the residents have access to go to each different floor. As for the adventurers, they are required to complete each floor i.e. defeat the floor boss to gain access up to the next floor."

"I see" Rayleigh nodded.

"If you want to eat the best food made by the owner of this place. Prepare 50 coins up to 1 gold coin. The dishes made by the owner of this place are delicious even though they are quite expensive. But the price is comparable to the taste"

Shakky and Rayleigh nodded.

"Well, let's continue again. We went to the Colosseum then continued to the Alchemist Wiz Shop. After that, we came back because you two are not adventurers and don't have access to be here"

Rayleigh and Shakky nodded.

Although at this time Rayleigh had already made his choice to become an adventurer. Rayleigh has been interested in this place, especially the adventures here. In addition, Rayleigh is still waiting for something interesting that Ars said to him before.
