<h4>Chapter 112 Crafting</h4>
After a long day of coaching his fellow survivors on skirmish battles, n returned to meet his crafting group, eager to put his newly acquired loot to good use. He had decided to entrust them with a batch of items he had scavenged the previous night, hopeful that their skills could turn these materials into valuable assets.
This morning, n handed over 15 pieces ofmon clothing items to Marie and her tailor crafting team. They swiftly got to work, cutting and preparing these garments into small strips, a crucial step in the crafting process.
Armed with the antiseptics and alcohols he had collected from the houses, n began crafting the same items he had mastered during the first round
[Your (Science - Expert) allows you to sessfully create amon item]
[Name: Medicated Bandage]
[Type: Medicine]
[Rarity: Common]
[Attributes: Recovers 55 HP within 2 minutes]
[Effects: Suppresses Bleeding]
[Able to Bring Outside the Game: No] [Remarks: It''s smelly but effective]
Thanks to his increased skill from Novice to Expert, n managed to produce a higher quality item, offering a modest improvement of 10 additional HPpared to his previous attempts. However, n was not one to settle for mediocrity. Driven by his pursuit of perfection, he continued to craft the same item repeatedly, hoping for a breakthrough.
To his delight, after several attempts, a different product emerged from his crafting efforts – a rare find.
[Your (Science - Expert) allows you to sessfully create an umon item]
[Name: Medical Bandage]
[Type: Medicine]
[Rarity: Umon]
[Attributes: Recovers 80 HP within 2 minutes]
[Effects: Suppresses Bleeding]
[Able to Bring Outside the Game: No]
[Remarks: High-grade healing item ]
This high-grade healing item could recover a substantial 80 HP within 2 minutes, making it a significant upgrade from themon version.
n''s triumphant exmation echoed through the room as he celebrated his newfound sess. Of the 15 marked clothing items he had provided, the crafters had transformed them into 110 cloth strips. Among these, 95 were crafted into themon Medicated Bandages, while the remaining 15 became the coveted Medical Bandages of umon rarity. n decided to keep the umon bandages for his personal use, recognizing their potential value. Themon ones were distributed among the group to bolster their medical supplies, ensuring everyone had ess to these crucial items.
n''s next destination was Gus and his team of wood crafters, who had undertaken the task n had assigned them: crafting bows and arrows. These weapons could prove invaluable in the uing skirmish battles. The key challengey in creating a durable bowstring toplement the bows.
To address this challenge, n diligently collected various types of string during his scavenging tasks. Some were sourced from shoes, others from bags, and a few were thick threads he hade across in the town. Armed with this assortment of materials, Gus and his team set to work.
Upon n''s inquiry about their progress, Gus expressed his regret, "I''m sorry, n, but we''ve managed to create only six of these."
[Name: Primitive Bow]
[Type: Weapon (Bow)]
[Rarity: Common]
[Attributes: Firepower 10-28]
[Effects: None]
[Able to Bring Outside the Game: No]
[Remarks: At least it is not a toy bow]
n contemted the situation and concluded that having six Primitive Bows was still a valuable addition to their arsenal. He recognized that their group might not have six individuals experienced in archery, but the avability of these bows would nheless bolster their capabilities in skirmish battles.
n''s final stop for the day was Shamus and his team of metal crafters. Today, n had an unconventional task in mind. He had gathered several disused items, includingptops, mobile phones, and small electronics. His objective was to dismantle these gadgets and salvage a specific light metal – magnesium – used within them.
Magnesium possessed qualities that made it a valuable material for various applications. It was not only lightweight but also remarkably strong. However, what n''s needed the most was its highly mmable nature. The salvaging process yielded approximately 200 grams of magnesium, which was a modest quantity but enough to use it for now.
Curious about n''s intentions, Shamus inquired,
"What are you nning to do with them, n?"
Acknowledging the mmable nature of magnesium and its limitations inparison to traditional explosives or grenades, Shamus couldn''t help but wonder about n''s motive.
With a cryptic smile, n responded, "Just a little science project."
As dinner time approached, everyone gathered for a hearty meal. n quickly finished his meal, driven by eagerness to embark on his experiments. He selected one of the farmhouse rooms to serve as his makeshiftboratory, where he would start with his little project.
n began by taking out his trusty [Sawed-off Shotguns] and the stash of [12 gauge rounds] he had collected. He knew the shotgun had proven its worth thus far and would continue to be a vital asset in the future. With this in mind, he was determined to enhance its capabilities.
First, he retrieved the [Repair kit], a valuable item that had the power to automatically repair any [Broken] status item up to an umon rarity. n wasted no time as he opened the red box, and a message promptly appeared in his [gamelink].
[Choose an item to repair]
Without hesitation, n designated his shotgun as the target for repair. In an instant, both the repair kit and the weapon began to emit a soft glow, signifying the repair process. A subsequent notification confirmed the sess of the repair.
[Repair is sessful]
[Name: Sawed-off Shotgun]
[Type: Weapon (small firearm)]
[Rarity: umon]
[Attributes: Firepower 62-78 (10 meters), 52-66 (up to 30 meters)]
[Magazine: 2 rounds (12 Gauge)]
[Fire Rate: up to 1 round/second]
[Equipment Rating: 22]
[Remarks: Great to blow up heads like watermelon]
The oue of the repair was a modest increase in the weapon''s damage potential. However, the most significant improvement was the removal of the [Broken] status, which had previously imposed a severe penalty on both damage and uracy. With the repairpleted, n''s shotgun could now unleash devastating attacks, capable of dealing up to 300 damage whenbined with his [small arm (expert)] proficiency, sneak attack, and lethality bonus.
n couldn''t deny the raw power of his shotgun, capable of delivering a devastating 300 points of damage. However, his satisfaction was tempered by the realization that this level of damage might not suffice against some of the high-level adversaries he would inevitably face. The game was fraught with formidable foes, especially adversaries like the Elite SS, who possessed superior defensive capabilities that could absorb a substantial portion of his shotgun''s power. It was clear that he needed to find a way to further enhance the weapon''s destructive potential.
With this determination in mind, n embarked on a mission to upgrade his ammunition, recognizing that it held the key to unlocking the shotgun''s true potential. His resourcefulness and strategic thinking had already secured him two boxes of [12 gauge shells] during the warehouse raid, a valuable cache that provided him with a total of 40 rounds to work with.
Carefully, n began the meticulous process of dismantling each shotgun shell one by one. He gingerly extracted the tiny pellets and powder, the coreponents that made these rounds lethal. But n''s true innovationy in the incorporation of the 100 grams of magnesium he had salvaged. The lightweight, yet highly mmable metal was shaved into razor-thin slices, each sliver holding the potential for fiery destruction.
With the final piece of magnesium in ce, n felt a sense of aplishment wash over him as another crafting notification appeared before him, validating his efforts:
[Your (Science - Expert) allows you to sessfully create an umon item]
[Name: 12 gauge shells - incendiary]
[Type: Ammo]
[Rarity: Umon]
[Attributes: None]
[Effects: 10 Fire damage]
[Able to Bring Outside the Game: No]
[Remarks: See your target burned!]
While the extra damage provided by these incendiary shotgun shells might seem rtively modest on its own, it was the synergistic effect they would have with n''s unique [Title: Pyromaniac] that truly transformed his shotgun into a new level of deadly. The prospect of unleashing this upgraded weapon on histe-night excursions filled him with a renewed sense of anticipation and determination.
Armed with his enhanced shotgun and a cache of high-quality medical gauze, n was poised for his next venture into the town. This time with a more ambitious target in mind.
