chapter 6
6. She saw an unbelievable sight
“Are you okay? I came because he was down. Do you need any help?”
‘Jung Eun-seo…’
Hyunseung Lee knew her name as soon as he saw her face.
Because she was one of the heroines of Broad Academy Online.
Jeong Eun-seo. A woman with exceptional skills, but with such a unique, fourth-dimensional personality. A warm-hearted yet indifferent person.
At this point, Jeong Eun-seo is exploring the labyrinth to find the legacy of her lost grandfather. Jeong Eun-seo has never attended Broad Academy since she entered Broad Academy, so she is probably demoted to class F now, but her original class is class A. If she hadn’t wandered around the labyrinth, she would probably have taken lessons with me.
‘But why is Jeong Eun-seo on the first floor?’
The legacy left by her grandfather that Eunseo Jeong is looking for is, from my memory, definitely on the second floor of the labyrinth. But right now, I’m on the first basement floor, and I’m stuck in a very corner. I came all the way here to enter the Hidden Place called the Well of the Goddess, but I couldn’t understand why Jeong Eun-seo was here.
I replied in bewilderment.
“You don’t have to give me any help.”
“okay. All right.”
After confirming that I was fine, Jeong Eun-seo replied in a firm tone and stepped back from me.

I was going to talk to Jung Eunseo for a bit, but I decided to stop. Because I have a lot of things to do right now anyway.
‘First, let’s check the job we got from the well again.’
[Legendary Gunsmith]
▶Job Rating: Legend
▶Job Level: 1
▶ You will be able to handle firearms very proficiently.
▶ Whenever you handle a firearm, the increase rate of related attribute proficiency increases significantly.
▶Additional damage is given to attacks using firearms.
▶It is in an unopened state. It is opened when the job level rises.
▶ It is a growth type job. Whenever you increase your job level by a certain number, special abilities are unlocked.
[Legendary Blacksmith]
▶Job Rating: Legend
▶Job Level: 1
▶ You will be able to craft the weapon you want.
▶ There is a high probability of producing a rare or higher item.
▶The production time is greatly reduced.
▶It is in an unopened state. It is opened when the job level rises.
▶ It is a growth type job. Whenever you increase your job level by a certain number, special abilities are unlocked.
‘It’s a jackpot. The gunman is a bit of a garbage job, but since he’s a legend, he’ll be able to use it to some extent. On the contrary, blacksmith is a high-class job no matter what anyone says. There is a downside of being weak, but it doesn’t matter because I have two jobs.’
Even if the job is the same job, the level varies greatly depending on what class it is.
For example, even if they are awakened with the same ‘swordsman’, the difference in abilities between [normal] and [legendary] swordsmen is like the difference between heaven and earth.
So, the gunsmith job was a job that was treated like trash compared to other jobs, but he wasn’t too disappointed because he had the title [Legendary] attached to it. I’ll show you some performance.
‘I thought the gunman’s job was only up to the epic level… but how did this happen?’
Sorcerer was one of those jobs that absolute beginners use or avoid if possible. The reason is simple. It’s not enough that the job grade only goes up to Epic, it’s weak, and it costs a lot of money.
FYI, the gunman has to use a gun and bullets, both of which are filthy expensive in this world. Even if you buy it that expensive, because professions such as swordsmen and wizards show ridiculous performances such as deflecting or stopping bullets, gunsmiths are one of the persecuted professions.
‘It’s a weak and cost-effective job. But if it’s with the blacksmith job, the words will change.’
As the blacksmith job level rises, you can make high-level weapons. Even I memorized all the materials used for crafting skills.
You don’t have to buy recipes, weapons, or yourself, so you can use it with good cost-effectiveness. Even if you make both guns and bullets higher than Epic and strengthen them, they will be enough to withstand swordsmen and wizards. Above all, as he is a [Legendary] level gunsmith, he may show outstanding power through his gun, contrary to people’s perception.
‘Yes, it’s crazy to be more greedy… To be honest, I received this much and overflowing on the 1st basement floor.’
Two legendary jobs obtained in exchange for the pain of having all limbs cut off at the Well of the Goddess. It was more rewarding than I thought, but the hidden piece of the goddess’ well is a hidden piece that disappears itself when the person who finds it uses it. That’s why they gave more generous compensation compared to other hidden pieces.
‘Above all, there are many people who don’t know that they can recover if they leave the place where the goddess’ well was.”
Even if you find the hidden piece of the goddess’ well, there is no way to use it, and there is no explanation.
If you’re lucky enough to get into the Hidden Place, isn’t there a pretty river? If you think about it enough, it will disappear for the rest of your life after that.
Even if you know that you have to sacrifice your body in the well, you cannot know that you have to sacrifice your body, and even if you know that you will sacrifice your body, you can cut off a body part and put it back in to restore it. Since there is no way to know, no one will do crazy things like amputating limbs.
In other words, if it wasn’t for me, a deceased person who has been in Broad Academy Online for 10 years, I wouldn’t have been able to use it to this extent even if someone found it.
Of course, getting this level of compensation on the first floor of Grunjiha was really ridiculous, so it wasn’t hard to evaluate it.
‘The pain was great, but the reward is certain, so I’m satisfied. For now, this is enough for a job. I’ll have to look at the stats now.’
[Status Window]
▶Name: Hyunseung Lee
▶Job: [Legend] Gunsmith / [Legend] Blacksmith
▶Strength: 5 ▶Stamina: 9 ▶Luck: 7
▶Endurance: 6 ▶Dexterity: 5 ▶dexterity: 8
▶Characteristics: none
▶Skill: None
▶Remaining stat distribution points: 3
‘Thanks to entering the labyrinth in a non-awakening state, I have to properly distribute the stat points obtained by breaking the hidden achievements.’
From now on, don’t use any stats carelessly. This is because the stats themselves are quite difficult to obtain, and there are also hidden pieces that receive additional effects when certain stats are raised above the limit.
‘ha….’
After thinking for a while, I distributed all the stats to dexterity.
– Distribute 3 points to the dexterity stat.
– The dexterity stat has risen to 11.
-Current remaining stat distribution points: 0
Raising dexterity was, in a way, natural. Weapon crafting and guns all use ‘hands’, so the more you raise your dexterity stat, the more efficient and skillful you can handle it.
‘By the way… the magic stat is still inactive’
Originally, the magic stat is a stat obtained when most jobs awaken. However, the ‘musketeer’ job does not get magic stats even if it is awakened.
As magic is used not only in skills but also in various places such as strengthening the body, one of the great disadvantages of a gunman is that the magic stat cannot be awakened. It was also the reason why gunsmiths were persecuted by the people.
That’s why gunsmiths often use weapons with the ‘magic’ stat. However, the price of a gun with magic stats is terribly expensive, so ordinary people cannot even dream of it.
‘Still, a legendary blacksmith would be able to make a gun with magic stats.’
I can make anything if I have the ingredients. Anyway, with time, everything will be resolved. The fact that there is no magic stat itself is because you can get it by making a weapon. So there was no problem.
‘Oh right.’
After awakening to a job, there are things I must do.
I recalled the image of a firearm in my mind.
– As a job awakening privilege, basic weapons are provided.
[shabby pistol]
▶ It is a shabby pistol with no special features.
▶ A total of 15 bullets are loaded.
[shabby magazine x 5]
▶This is a magazine with a total of 15 bullets loaded.
One bonus you get when you awaken a job. The basic weapon acquisition method is simple. After awakening, all you have to do is think of the shape of the weapon that suits your job.
Of course, what you get now is literally a ‘basic’ weapon. It’s not like I grew up or had anything special about it. It is just to be used as a self-defense item to be used in case of an unexpected situation. Because you don’t know when you’ll meet the monsters in the dungeon.
‘Okay… I took out the basic weapons in advance, and got a growth-type hidden job, so I just need to grow from now on.’
I thought so and continued walking.
However, I kept hearing strange noises from behind.
-Ttogak
-Ttogak
‘what?’
When I turned around, I saw Jeong Eun-seo, who had woken me earlier.
-Sueug
When I turned around, Jeong Eun-seo pretended to look around the labyrinth while acting different.
Soon after, I headed back the way I was going.
-Jerbuck
-Ttogak
-Jerbuck
-Ttogak
Just like this time, she moved along with my steps.
‘Why the hell are you doing this?’
I suddenly had a question, and a fact came to my mind.
‘Ah… Jeong Eun-seo was a serious loser.’
I wondered why he was on the 1st floor of the labyrinth instead of the 2nd basement floor at this point, so he must have lost his way. It was something that could have happened.
Because the size of the labyrinth is really staggeringly large. It is a place where you can quickly get lost if you make a mistake. That’s why people use artifacts with capabilities similar to compasses to find their way.
‘I must have lost the artifact somewhere. There’s no way I didn’t bring it.’
Jeong Eun-seo must have lost her compass, but I didn’t have or need that artifact. After playing the game for over 10 years, I memorized all the labyrinth locations. I didn’t remember it in my head. the body remembers A story like this that you can walk around with your eyes closed.
-Sueug
When I cautiously looked back, Jeong Eun-seo stunned and looked away. I spoke directly to her. I know anyway, but I asked out of courtesy.
“What are you doing? Why do you keep following me?”
“Ta…following me, it’s a misunderstanding. I am just looking around the labyrinth.”
She stammered unanswerably, and put on a nonchalant expression. I got annoyed at the moment and tried to get angry and kick him out, but one thing suddenly popped into my head.
‘Jung Eun-seo…was he rich?’
Jeong Eun-seo is the son of a high-ranking guild. So, the financial situation is good.
‘In the future, you’ll need a lot of money to make weapons or something. No matter how much you can make it yourself, you need at least the ingredients… If that’s the case, if you make friends with him now, there are many places you can use.’
After judging, I kindly talked to Jeong Eun-seo.
“Are you lost? If so, I can help.”
Jung Eun-seo was puzzled by my sudden change of attitude and replied.
“Ki…you haven’t lost your way? If you keep driving people like that…”
Jeong Eun-seo muttered something, then shouted at me with a surprised expression.
“back! Watch your back!”
In an instant, the monster started to attack me at an incredibly fast speed.
Among the monsters inhabiting the first floor of the labyrinth, he belongs to a fairly high-ranking monster.
‘Cruell Wolf’
It’s a wolf-type monster, and if bitten, it inflicts a status ailment accompanied by terrible pain.
I just watched him come running.
Then, Jeong Eun-seo, who was far away, hurriedly ran to me and shouted.
“Be careful! Cruel Wolf is a monster that can’t be dealt with by a gunsmith job! Run towards me!”
Mana was quickly flowing into Jeong Eun-seo’s hands. He’s probably preparing to cast a spell on Cruel Wolf.
-Sueug
I raised my standard pistol with one hand and aimed it at Cruell Wolf.
“Mi… Are you crazy? Cruel Wolf is a pistol…!”
Before long, Cruel Wolf’s mouth came right in front of my eyes.
“Khehehe-!”
The moment he opened his mouth to swallow me.
‘Now.’
fired a gun
– Taaang-!
– The [Legendary] Gunsmith job attribute effect gives additional damage to firearms.
