Chapter 1122 She Can't Keep Getting Away With It!
-----
"W-What's this?!"
The Queen noticed something incredible, her stats had increased a tiny bit! Yes, the stats of a Level 300 had increased. She gained roughly 10 more Mana and even unlocked the Soul Stat out of nowhere.
"P-Planta?! Can you take a break for a second?! You keep making insane things!"
"Hahaha! Well, I wanted first place again. So we got it?"
"Hahh… This is something insane, you know? If this could be mass produced and sold widely… everyone could increase their stats so easily, unlock new stats, and even conjure powerful Spirit Magic," said the Queen. "It could be really dangerous, actually!"
"Don't worry, I will only make a few for selected people," Planta laughed. "I know, I know, they won't be for sale to the public."
"Hah, it better not…" the Queen said. "Dear, I think it's already pretty obvious who won again."
"Seriously, again?" the King wondered. "But I thought Horshen…"
"Nah, it's Planta, definitely…" sighed the Queen. "Just thinking about the possibilities of what these accessories could give… It's already insane."
"…Not wrong," the King nodded. "Okay then, to the dismay of a few… the Winner of the third round is Planta!"
The people cheered and booed at the same time, some people were always expecting Planta to win, while others got tired of her always winning and wanted someone else to gain the spotlight even once!
"OOOOHHHH!!!"
"BOOOOHHH!"
Planta could understand them, but she thought that if she went easy on the rest and made subpar equipment, the other crafters would get angry at her for not doing everything she could. Planta simply went all-out; it wasn't her fault she was so amazing.
If the rest wanted to win first place in the fourth and last round, then… They better step on the gas and make something good, really fucking amazing!
"Why does she keep winning? This is a bit unfair!"
"Come on Planta, give them a chance! Hahaha!"
"She's a monster…"
"Well, her friends are also helping a lot, don't give her all the credit."
"True! Ambil and Titan, they're really amazing! I saw how they worked hard too…"
"Come on, Horshen should have wone! His accessories were amazing!"
"Yeah, but Planta was even better at the end."
"Ugh…"
The people had mixed opinions, Planta didn't feel like even hearing them, quickly walking towards the Queen and the King as they announced the places. She was first place, Horshen was second place, Erdragon third place, Melisa fourth place, Goldanaba fifth place, Erika sixth place, and BlackEye was seventh place.
"Bottom again?" BlackEye sighed. "I suck at this…"
"C-Come on, you did well!" Erika tried to cheer him up. "Your idea was really good, BlackEye, you needed some more polishing."
"Is that so?" wondered BlackEye. "Thank you Erika, even if you're an NPC, you're nice."
"That I am an inhabitant of this world and that you're a Player doesn't mean anything, we're two fellow blacksmiths doing our best, right?" Erika smiled cutely.
"R-Right!" BlackEye smiled, nodding.
Planta thought of them as very cute, and that it was rather nice they were warming up to each other, forging a strong friendship through these trials.
As she made her way back to the resting area, she heard a lot from the other participants, although they felt frustrated they couldn't overcome her, they also congratulated her a lot.
"That was damn fucking amazing Planta, I hate it, but I like it," laughed Horshen. "I'll have to do even better next time so I can finally surpass you!"
"Yes, you and your friends have not hold back at all," Erdragon laughed. "You will probably get the first place a fourth time… But I will do everything I can to win this time! I'll surpass my limits, even if I have to peel every scale off my body!"
"There's no need to go so far, Erdragon…" said Planta. "But do your best!"
"Hah, this is unfair, you're way too amazing, girl!" laughed Goldanaba. "Anyways, do you have anything to do after the competition? I thought we could hang out together. I kind of like you, you're cool. I vibe with you."
"E-Eh? Sure? Why not!" Planta nodded. "Where do you want to hang out, Goldanaba?"
"Was thinking of just eating out and talking," she said. "I could show you my place and vice versa, was thinking on forging a nice relationship between the two as blacksmiths. Though I wouldn't mind if you wanted something else."
"S-Something else?" Planta felt slightly confused, but Goldanaba was clearly flirting with her, thought it couldn't get through her thick skull at all.
"Hahah, nothing, never mind…" Goldanaba remembered she said Titan was her boyfriend or something and didn't even try to continue. Find more adventures on empire
"Lady Planta, your stuff was amazing as always!" Erika ran towards Planta.
"Y-Yeah, it was incredible, how did you even made equipment like that? it summons a spirit magic grimoire… and helps at growing and unlocking stats…" BlackEye commented.
"Oh! Right, well, I copied, combined, and reconstructed the magical and runic engravements on the equipment I've found so far, some of them given by the system," said Planta. "Others I got from quests, or people. You see. I have a Skill for Runic Engravement, so its fairly easy for me."
"R-Runic Engravement!?" asked Erdragon. "That is only something high ranked wizards could ever do, and they're not really blacksmiths or crafters themselves…"
"Incredible, I wish I had that! I always have to do everything manually…" Goldanaba complained.
"I do have that skill too," said Horshen. "However, her usage of it so far surpasses mine tremendously. Just how do you do it? What's your secret?"
"There's… no secret at all!" laughed Planta. "I just do my best and make the engravements as much better as I can."
Planta's honesty mixed with her immense talent made the other crafters feel slightly bad, she was just too amazing, shining brighter than the sun.
However, she didn't like how they thought she was the only one doing everything.
"But I wouldn't be able to get where I did without them, Ambil and Titan are very important, without them, I would never get the first place," said Planta. "It is thanks to our equal, combined efforts, not mine alone."
