Chapter 117 – Getting Popular.
After handing over the equipment ordered by the Zues and his guild, I had temporarily closed up my shop in order to focus bit more on leveling up as well as other stuff.
I also used the hunting time as an opportunity to test out some of my experimental weapons as well as to tame some new monsters that I will be using for hunting instead of my chimeras or toy monsters.
I also have my necromancy as well and other monster related classes, so even without using chimeras or toys I can still somewhat use large amount of monsters for hunting, especially undeads since my [Necromancy Mastery] is quiet high. I had been pretty much raising it a lot, meaning I can create somewhat huge group of undead to accompany me and fight for me.
Not only that, but I had also made new magic gun with quiet a kick and some of the mana guns have been made using the forest cut crab mana crystal that posses an earth attribute and I got to say, it made for quiet nasty shotgun.
The time went by and I leveled up a lot and headed towards deeper parts of the hunting ground where a lot of stronger monsters were living and I managed to hunt them down while also obtaining some of their materials.
After finishing hunting for a bit, I left a note that the shop will be closed for bit longer, since I wanted to experiment with that quite unique and special mana crystal.
The energy this mana crystal was giving was…. Volotea, like very wild stuff.
I never saw anything like that before, expect for that mana gem that necromancer used for the creation of the Unliving Heart that is currently inside my own body.
But now? I have this thing in my hands, a man a crystal with very interesting nature and I can use it for my research.
Not only that, but this mana crystal has a size of a bowling ball, so the possibilities I can make with this thing are quite interesting. I could maybe but it up or maybe use the whole thing for something.
With my mana related research and mana gun research, I was able to come up with some interesting tools that help me out a bit…... They took shit ton of time to even make.
Anyway, this [The Cold Mad Mana Crystal] is quite interesting.
Simply put, I cannot use it because of its nature. If I were to use it any magic gun I made so far, it wouldn't work.
This is both interesting and annoying at the same time.
However, one thing I discover is that wild and violet nature of this thing is quite interesting in terms of power.
If I somehow manage to mimic this nature with some of my mana guns if not somewhat corrupt or remade or maybe somehow modify the mana crystal into something similar to this, then it will be a huge boost in power for me and for any of my future creations…. I will have to look into this and probably will take time before I will make something.
Anyway, after leveling up by hunting, making items for sale and getting EXP from crafting as well and experimenting, I started to prepare to reopen up my shop and also hired an NPC worker for me to run the shop while I will be on the back crafting items.
I didn't wanted to hire any players, since…. Well, there are many greedy ones out there, so its better to hire some NPCs that can be trusted.
The worker I hired was a male cat beastman who had sighted a contract with me where he would be punished if he did anything illegal in my store or steal money. So even if they were to do anything funny, they will be fucked. However obviously I had to pay them for each hour they work when the shop is open.
However, while I was still looking for the worker, I ended up overhearing some merchants talking…. They were talking about me and my magic guns.
By the look of things more and more NPCs starts to find out about my discovery and my existence.
I asked around while hiding my identity for the informations regarding the "Phantasia" and the "Magic Guns", resulting in me finding some interesting informations.
People are getting more and more interesting and the news about my discovery has already spread quiet far if not already in the royal capital…. People of this world will definitely start making some moves, since what I made was consider a huge thing.
…. I guess its time to reveal myself before somebody big makes a move.
After all preparations were made as well, I made a public post online, revealing my two titles as well as system notifications.
[You are the first player in the history to have created a legendary item!]
[You have obtained title: The One Who Crafted Legendary Item] – [Unique]
[You are the first player to have created an armor set with at least 3 different pieces that are also legendary in terms of rarity!]
[You have obtained title: Legendary Item Battle Set] – [Unique]
I obviously didn't made public the titles effects, but it got people attention anyway.
It didn't took long for my post to blow up, with it getting extreme amount of views and comments.
Some people were calling me out for "Lying and making up these titles.". But unfortunately for them, Zues backed me up. He made a public statement that his new armor is the legendary armor I had made. Nor only that, but the screen shot of the message window log I showed wasn't photos hoped or anything like that.
Some people were still calling me fake and demanding that I reveal my titles effects, but that was obviously not truth. They knew they were real and just wanted me to reveal the informations about them, so I just said no to them all.
However, there were other annoying comments.
["Hello! This is the Champion guild speaking!"]
["Would you be interested in joining our guild?"]
["Is it possible to order a legendary item?"]
["Join us now! We offer you best deal!"]
["Excuse me. Would you like be willing to talk in private regarding the scouting offer our Hermes guild are offering?"]
This kind of annoyance… I can see some big guilds names now popping up and asking me join them… But I obviously replied to them all that I want to stay neutral and turned down all the offers.
Some people took that comments as if I got somewhat lucky with making legendary item, but the production class users backed me up saying that the producing even epic rarity item is hard, saying that I didn't even got lucky.
However, there were definitely some players among the production classes saying I did got lucky, so the opinion was divided here and there among many different players.
However, my plan worked and I had gained people attention and in turn fame.
["The first player to create ever legendary item."]
["Phantasia. First magic guns and now legendary?"]
["Is Phantasia working with Zeus?"]
["Current first ranking production class user – Phantasia?"]
I saw multiple posts popping up here and there, talking and discussing things regarding me and my achievements.
On one hand, the name Phantasia became known as one of more well known and talented production class users in the game.
While on the other hand, the name Doctor became a name of well know terrorist player who had brough destruction, ruins and chaos in his path.
It's quite funny really.
I feel like those villains who wears the mask of good guys and important character in the story, only to give a plot twist later on, revealing that they were the true antagonists all along.
I obviously won't be aiming to reveal myself to the public, since why should I do something extremely stupid?
Still, I had gained now another face withing the public that stands out and that face will be a perfect cover for my other self.
Not only that, but obviously my business will end up sticking out more, getting attention of more players and even attracting NPCs.
However now with my increasing popularity, nobody will be able to exactly put a finger on me, unless they want to get messed up.
So, fuck nobles! Fuck wealthy merchants!
They can now do nothing to me since I'm gaining too much popularity and recognition.
Still, there will be some more annoying and persistence people, just how some people still tried to pick a fight with Evilin even though he was well known figure as well as legendary blacksmith.
However, even those big figures who tried to be more forceful with recruiting him or trying to mess with him were ultimately stopped if not punched in their face.
I should get ready for any bastard trying to mess with my business in the future… But honestly speaking I care more about my research right now since I'm still filthy rich after robbing an fuking kingdom and everything.
Not only that, but I had also gained a LOT of money from Zues, even after buying that mana crystal from him.
There is also the fact that the number of the costumers visiting my shop had increased by a lot and a lot of my stocks have been getting sold nonstop… It was a good call to hire that guy to sell stuff in my stead.
But overall, all things were going somewhat well for now and I hope that it will last for quite some time…... But there will be definitely some annoying people appearing here and now since the whole mess I made… Yea, I don't think that things will be calm for some time around me.
