I Became A Mechanic - Chapter 69: Charity (1)
Chapter 69: Charity (1)
Human body parts had vitality and did not come off quickly.
However, if you receive an attack that can not withstand the reduced vitality, body parts are cut off or exploded.
Many people have had accidents in which body parts fall off during excessive hunting or due to crack damage.
If the cut section was clean and the time had not passed, it could be sutured through the treatment of a priest.
However, in an emergency where body parts were cut off, it was difficult to escape with one’s own body parts, and it was impossible to attach any damage caused by the explosion.
Because of that, many people used Automail, and Automail was the most significant source of revenue for alchemists.
However, Korean alchemists were nervous about the news that Jun-woo was making Auto Mail.
Jun-woo’s work speed was unmatched, and rumors were floating around that there was a crafting golem in an underground workshop.
Then, when he started the titanium automail business, the profits of Korean alchemists, who had been making profits through collusion, decreased significantly.
However, fortunately, what Jun-woo made and sold was limited to Adamantium, and it seemed that he didn’t receive many customers because of the blueprint’s production cooldown.
Although it was an hour and a half, they were always curious about the secret of the construction method using Jun-woo’s Adamantium.
Kim Young-han, president of the Korean Alchemy Association, visited Jun-woo after hearing about Jun-woo’s auto-mail.
Kim Young-han, the association’s vice president, went into Jun-woo’s master room.
“Long time no see. You must be busy, but thank you for taking the time.”
Jun-woo met Kim Young-han once at an event called Alchemist’s Night.
“no. Sit.”
Kim Young-han and the Vice President of the Association were seated.
Kim Young-Han said.
“I have seen the inventions used in the auction. It was incredible technology.”
“Thank you. But what happened to you… … .”
Kim Young-han carefully answered Jun-woo’s doubts.
“Hey, you’re an alchemist, so why don’t you join the Alchemy Association?”
It was meaningless for Jun-woo to join the Alchemy Association.
Their knowledge was inferior to that of only one Jun-woo, and their mana handling skills were also poor.
Jun-woo answered right away.
“sorry. I don’t think I will be able to join the association because I have a lot of work.”
“… Still, won’t you think about it again for alchemy development? Korea’s alchemy skills are inferior compared to other countries. With a little help from you, I’m sure there will be some good inventions.”
Kim Young-han wanted to ask a direct question about the adamantium construction method but could not make a point.
Jun-woo also told me because he knew roughly what he wanted.
“If you think I know something like the adamantium method, you are mistaken. I smelt Adamantium in other ways.”
“Is it… Other than that, your technical skills and the information of the alchemists will be helpful to each other. Let me think about it.”
“I don’t think I will join the association. sorry.”
Jun-woo’s will seemed firm.
Kim Young-han, who had resigned, delivered his last request.
“If that’s what you mean, it doesn’t matter… Can I ask you one last request?”
“Tell me.”
“I heard you are selling Automail with Adamantium. Could you please help me not to sell it as Titanium?”
“Why… such a request?”
“Titanium Automail is the biggest source of revenue for alchemists. If you start selling, Korean alchemists may not be able to afford to conduct research.”
They turned around but were told not to sell in Jun-woo’s ears because their profits were declining.
Jun-woo was already planning a charity project for those in need of Automail.
The influence of the man who had no arms he saw on the hunting ground was significant.
Arms and legs were indispensable, and Jun-woo could make it easier if he wanted to.
“I don’t know how it sounds, but I’m going to make an entry-level titanium automail and give it to people who need it for free.”
At Jun-woo’s words, both eyes were puzzled.
“Why would you do that?”
The reason why Jun-woo is preparing for a charity project was that it would be able to plant a good image for himself and the guild, and it would be a business that would make Korea grow.
“With the proceeds from the auction, we decided to help the less fortunate neighbors who were harmed by monsters. Because this seems to be the best fit for me, and it’s what I can do for you.”
“Can’t you stop?”
Kim Young-han seemed dissatisfied because it was directly related to their income.
“I don’t think that would be possible. It is already being prepared.”
Alchemists were at least rare.
The rare grade was a grade that appeared to about one in a thousand people, and there was no reason to care about their income.
Jun-woo was thinking of donating his talents for the necessary normal and magic.
Jun-woo did not run out of mana while crafting the titanium automail because he gained 30 mana recovery per second from the wise man’s stone.
I could make dozens of them a day.
Kim Young-han frowned as if dissatisfied and stood up.
“I will see you.”
“Take a look.”
On that day, a notice was posted on the Lewis website.
[Notice from Lewis. For those who have been damaged by monsters, only those who have their bodies amputated will be made free of charge Titanium Automail. This charity project is conducted through the auction’s proceeds, and the date will be from April 14th to April 17th, and the running time will be from 2 pm to 6 pm. Selection will be made through a lottery, and those who were not selected would be grateful if they could apply for the next charity project.
We look forward to your participation.]
Because of a notice posted on the Lewis website, various news outlets talked about Lewis’ philanthropy as if they were promoting it.
Applicants poured in amid the increased interest.
There must have been people who didn’t have arms and legs before, but there were people who wanted to take it off and get another one.
However, what makes the entry-level titanium automail? If there is an existing automail, the performance is lower than that.
In any case, Jun-woo’s charity work was scheduled to proceed with great enthusiasm.
The next day. Jun-woo showed the created Adamantium Automail to the guild members of Poongrim.
The part he requested was the wrist, and what Jun-woo made was a wrist model that was as strange as the actual arm cut off.
“Is that, Automail?”
The old automail was a piece of iron.
However, Jun-woo’s automail was able to use the doppelganger’s skin.
“Yeah, the skin color is slightly different, but it will be the same when you wear it.”
“Please… … .”
Jun-woo grabbed his wrist and put the automail he had made.
And when connected with mana, the skin color became the same, and the skin was attached as smooth as the original arm.
The guild member’s eyes widened as they looked around the created arm.
“Wow… It’s amazing.”
“How about the change in stats?”
“Defense increased by 2, Intellect decreased by 2.”
The slight decrease in intelligence meant that it fit well with the body.
Besides, the defense was a bonus.
“It won’t break as long as it doesn’t drop below 10% health. I hope you use it well.”
“Thank you… I can’t believe it even when I see it with my own eyes.”
Guild members in Korea also showed the same reaction.
“Wow, this is what it feels like to be bleeding.”
“There will be no blood. Instead, mana flows.”
“Haha… I thought it would be expensive, but when I got it, I thought it was cheap. I have to brag a little to my guild members. There will probably be a few guests from Daehan.”
“Thank you. Do you have any other inconveniences?”
“It’s so perfect it’s spotless. I will write well.”
The two received the automail without complaint.
Jun-woo designed the automail for the two reserved people and prepared charity work for the next day.
* * *
Jun-woo’s charity work began with great enthusiasm.
A procession of people who came after receiving a lottery led to the Aegis Guild building, and some guild members helped guide them.
The guide asked.
“How is the area?”
“Ah, I am a finger.”
“go to the right.”
Jun-woo asked Korean alchemists for an inexpensive auto-mail with a simple part such as a finger. Still, they turned down Jun-woo’s request as if they were working together.
Most likely, it was the direction of the president of the association.
Because of that, Jun-woo hired two Japanese alchemists to make his fingers.
The attendant said as the applicant arrived with crutches in front of him.
“Go left and wait.”
Those with significant cuts went to the building on the left and sat on the waiting chairs.
In the building on the left, Shin Shin-Seung, the head of the Blacksmith’s Association, melted Titanium in an oven, and Jun-woo made the melted Titanium into an entry-level automail using mana.
Only one or two global alchemists could form an entry-level automail like Jun-woo at a time.
However, after making 2 or 3, they had to rest for a few dozen minutes to recover mana, but Jun-woo could do it without a break.
When Jun-woo installed the low-cost automail made, the man’s eyes reddened.
“Thank you! Thank you!”
“I hope you use it with caution.”
“I will definitely repay the favor next time! Thank you!”
“Thank you. You can go over there.”
He nodded his head and went outside.
As he left, Jun-woo pressed the button.
Shin-Seung, sitting next to him, asked Jun-woo, worried about him.
“Are you okay? Aren’t you running out of mana?”
“I am okay. If you are having a hard time, another blacksmith is waiting for you, so please tell me anytime.”
“No. It is not difficult.”
“Thank you. Thank you for your help.”
“Call me anytime. If this is the case, there is no reason to refuse.”
Shin Shin-Seung, president of the Blacksmith’s Association, looked at Jun-woo with a satisfied smile.
The following person came in, and Jun-woo grabbed him and reminded him of his right wrist.
And the right wrist was made quickly.
Jun-woo put it in and breathed in mana.
“It’s over. Try moving.”
“Wow… thank you… I brought some ingredients, so please take it.”
He held out 10 titanium he had brought.
It was more than 4 million gold.
“It’s okay. Take it with you.”
“No, please.”
“It’s excellent. The way out is over there.”
When Jun-woo did not receive it, he looked at Jun-woo and walked away with the Titanium on the workbench.
“I will leave it. Thank you! then.”
Jun-woo picked up the Titanium and looked at Shin-Seung.
Shin Seung-Seung smiled lightly.
“You take what you give. His heart.”
“Haha… … .”
When Jun-woo pressed the button, the next person came in.
He was a man who looked to be in his 30s.
I didn’t have both ankles, so I had to make two.
He made two, and while sitting, Jun-woo put them on one by one, like putting shoes on his ankle.
The man looked down at Jun-woo and said cautiously.
“there… I lost my ankle on the hunting ground… … .”
“Ah yes. Please use it with caution in the future.”
“It’s not… I found a hunting ground at the waterfall. I accidentally entered it through a waterfall, and there was a monster.”
Jun-woo looked at him puzzledly.
He seemed to be talking about a hidden dungeon or a hidden high-level hunting ground.
“Did you cut your ankle then?”
“Yeah, I threw myself out of a waterfall, and something cut off my ankles.”
“How powerful was it?”
“I am level 36. It’s hard to say to what extent… I couldn’t deal with it.”
“All right. I’ll try to go there next time. Please tell me where it was.”
The man looked carefully at Jun-woo and said.
“there… I heard that hidden dungeons have a reward for the discoverer. If it’s a hidden dungeon, can I ask you for a little bit… … .”
In the case of the guild, the discoverer was definitely rewarded.
Although the ratio was different depending on the hidden dungeon.
“I will pay you according to the reward.”
“Go, thank you… … .”
“It’s over. Come visit us once this project is over.”
He got up on both feet and bowed his head.
“I will definitely see you. Thank you!”
“You can just go over there.”
He came in with prosthetic legs and went out on foot.
Shin Seung-Seung opened his mouth as soon as he left.
“It doesn’t seem like a lie, but always be careful. It could be an unknown trap.”
“Yeah.”
“And I think it might be a high-level hunting ground rather than a hidden dungeon.”
Jun-woo also sympathized with it.
Jun-woo pressed the button and brought the next person in.
Auto Mails were placed in the parts of people who had lost body parts.
They did not forget to say thank you; some brought materials and gave them to Jun-woo.
Jun-woo connected an entry-level automail to another wrist.
“It’s done… … .”
At that moment, the phrase came to mind.
[Quest has occurred.]
Quests are created in exceptional cases or units of 10 levels, but now it is the former.
[Automail production]
-Description: You gave Automail to many people who have no limbs. Many people feel grateful to you. So, I will provide you with a crafting quest that suits you. Create more automails.
-How to: Craft 500 Automails using Titanium in 500 hours. [0/500]
-Reward: [Ring Expansion Scroll]
You can wear up to two rings, but you can wear up to three if you use the Ring Expansion Scroll.
I was making about 10 entry-level automails in an hour, so it didn’t seem like there was enough time.
“Thank you!”
Jun-woo, who had lost his eye on the Quest for a while, looked at him and said:
“Ah, the way out is over there.”
He bowed his head and left, and Jun-woo sat on the workbench for a while and looked at the Quest before opening his mouth.
“I think we need to extend the business a little more, President of the Association.”
“It’s always fine with me.”
“Thank you.”
Since only titanium and gelatin cubes were included, the material cost was not a burden.
Even if they made 500 pieces, at most, 15 billion gold was enough.
Jun-woo ordered more Titanium and gelatin cubes from Jun-seong Park, an Aegis material dealer, to do the Quest.
