Omni-Mastery

Knock. Knock.

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

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

thump!

I dropped the crate I was holding in my hands.

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

He stared at me in disbelief as I smiled confidently.

[Daily Quest done!]

[\'Ore Refining\' reaches Lv.4, strength and constitution increase by 1.]

[\'Ore refining\' Lv.4

Skill type: Passive

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

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

I 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.

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

"Did you really do all of this?!"

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

"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…"

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

"Hmmmm?"

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

"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?"

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

"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."

"Deal!"

"Hehe, not so fast."

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

6 days later...

[Daily Quest done!]

[\'Ore Refining\' reaches Lv.7, constitution increases by 1]

[\'Ore refining\' Lv.7

Skill type: Passive

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

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

By 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.

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

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

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

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