Chapter 527: Accepting Blacksmith Commissions

[It was due to the lack of manpower that the Light Bearer Association welcomed any high-grade Light Bearer Blacksmiths joining. Along with Paul’s guarantee and vouching for you, you had already been registered as a legitimate Emperor-grade Blacksmith.]

[In fact, even if you weren’t a Terran, as long as you joined as a Blacksmith instead of a Light Emperor, you still wouldn’t need that much testing from the association.]

[After all, it wasn’t unusual for some Blacksmiths from other worlds to join Terra’s Light Bearer Association.]

[Although Terra had Forbidden Zones containing Dark Monster Sovereigns, it was still safer than the average Perpetual Darkness World, and it offered many opportunities, which was why some talented Light Bearers and Light Bearer Blacksmiths migrated here.]

[The Light Bearer Association might find it more difficult to trust outsider Light Bearers since it concerned the safety of Terra, but hiring outsider Light Bearer Blacksmiths was a different matter.]

[The association didn’t lack Light Bearers much in comparison to Light Bearer Blacksmiths, so it worked in your favor and you didn’t have to go through those troublesome tests.]

[Due to this, you were actually in a position where you could just hire someone to do the forging for you and they wouldn’t know, since they haven’t even seen how your forging technique and whatnot.]

[’Accepting these commissions wouldn’t be an issue. I can multitask anyway and do both the forging and Extreme Light Bearer Training Method.’]

[’It wouldn’t affect my speed of getting stronger while I’m grinding for the Light Bearer Association’s merit points, so why not? By doing this, I can even acquire resources without having to risk my life.’]

[The advantage of having an auxiliary profession was fully shown. While you were browsing through the web page, you finally chose some of them.]

[’These commissions are separated into two types. The first type are those who’ll pay the usual price but will give three sets of forging materials.’]

[’After all, even Emperor-grade Blacksmiths couldn’t guarantee that they wouldn’t fail, since not everyone could have a 100% success rate like me.’]

[’Due to this, clients are required to submit at least three sets of the forging material needed for their Light Bearer item. However, due to some materials being extremely rare, it might not be possible for them to do that.’]

[’To deal with that problem, there’s also the second type, which is only to provide one set of forging materials. But in this case, the commission fee would be far greater than the first type, since Light Bearer Blacksmiths would be expected to succeed in just one attempt.’]

[Aside from that, there was also a third type. However, it couldn’t really be considered a third type since it was basically just a custom-made commission to a Light Bearer Blacksmith.]

[It revolved around contacting the Light Bearer Blacksmith in private message and striking a deal with them on how the commission would be handled and how much price they could offer.]

[In this case, you chose the second type first since you still had to improve your portfolio before others would seek you out for custom-made commissions.]

[The commissions you chose were specifically those that had forging materials that you haven’t added to your exchange list. Not only would you earn money from them, but you could also increase the items in your exchange list, allowing you to kill two birds with one stone.]

[’It would still take some time before I can receive those forging materials from those clients. At most, it should be done in under an hour. Even if this world is vast, there’s still the existence of sending important deliveries through teleportation.’]

[’As a first-rate city, this city has a Light Bearer Association branch and not just one. Since each branch can receive those deliveries sent through teleportation, it won’t take long for me to receive them.’]

[Just to make sure, you had also contacted Paul about it in a private message and asked him to pick it up in your stead and deliver it to you.]

[Although this was like treating Paul like a beast of burden, Paul didn’t mind and was even delighted that you were contacting him and making use of him.]

[From that alone, you could determine that Paul was someone who truly desired advancement. Noticing how sincere Paul was, it wasn’t impossible to give him pointers for advancement in Light Emperor rank later.]

[Since you could modify the mainstream training method into its extreme version, assisting Paul to modify his training method to something that suited him wouldn’t be an issue.]

[After waiting for almost half an hour, you finally received a spatial box from Paul, which contained the items you needed for forging those commissioned Light Bearer items.]

[After thanking Paul, you went back inside and scanned through all the forging materials. Just looking at them was enough to add them to XX-rank Equivalent Exchange innate talent’s exchange list.]

[At least 30% of the forging materials in the box were items you didn’t possess in your exchange list, which wasn’t unusual. Even if you have explored more than a hundred thousand worlds in the Train Survival Universe, there were still resources in the Perpetual Darkness Universe that were unique to it.]

[After all, the Train Survival Universe didn’t have the Perpetual Darkness. The Perpetual Darkness alone had allowed the birth of materials and resources that revolved around it.]

[’With these forging materials added to my exchange list, I have almost an infinite amount of forging materials and wouldn’t have to worry about failing.’]

[’Not to mention, if I were to use Magnus’s XX-rank Demonic Scientist Laplace innate talent to simulate how I’d forge these, I’ll be able to gain the experience and method on how to successfully forge these through infinite trial and error.’]

[Although Magnus’s innate talent was mostly used by him for scientific research, it was actually an innate talent that had plenty of usage.]

[At least, auxiliary professions like blacksmiths and potion alchemists would greatly value Magnus’s innate talent if they were to have it.]

[’Since the materials are ready, I can proceed with the blacksmithing process!’]
