He could make a smithy without any building skills...?

Ke ong smiled at the startled Grid. “It is a simple problem. Don’t you need mathematical calculations for blacksmithing? Blacksmiths must consider balance even when making the sword hilt, and the balance comes from standards. The closer it is to the ideal standard, the more qualified the sword. Yet does Your Majesty think about numbers when making a sword?”

He didn’t. Of course, he tried to strike an ideal balance. It was because he knew from experience that items created without considering the balance would ultimately be failures. Nevertheless, he didn’t use a complex formula every time he created an item. The same was true when creating a blueprint, which was a feast of numbers.

It was the power of the system. All the parts related to numbers were solved using the system correction effect. This was one of the privileges of being a player. It was just that NPCs didn’t understand the concept of a system and interpreted it as talent or experience.

“I don’t do that.”

“Architecture is the same. There are many things to consider in architecture, but in fact, a small building is something where you shouldn’t have to worry about numbers. Of course, this is if you have the right talent and dexterity. However, Your Majesty is a legendary blacksmith, and your talent and dexterity will definitely be enough.”

“...”

It was sophistry. The NPC Ke might not understand, but a player was limited by the system. A building created by a player who wasn’t a professional wouldn’t function as a building. Grid had been working in a smithy for more than 10 years and knew all the structures and principles of a smithy, but the smithy he built would be an empty shell with only the ‘shape.’

‘...Wait?’

Grid’s eyes suddenly widened as he was feeling negative. He recalled the premise that Ke laid down before he started the story. It was based on ‘Greed.’

‘Ah!’ Grid realized the fundamental nature of Greed. It was based on the characteristic ‘think and act by itself.’ For example, the God Hands—which were made from Greed—perfectly fulfilled their role as a hand without any scientific or medical basis. This was just because Grid had created the ‘shape.’ Ke paid attention to this fact.

‘The moment I create the form of a smithy with Greed, the mineral Greed will reproduce the function of a smithy.’

This wasn’t a building created by an architect, so the function of a building couldn’t be used. Nonetheless, the system constraints would be overcome by the nature of Greed. This suggested a number of possibilities.

‘I can also produce golems with Greed.’

The creation of a golem was in the realm of a great magician. It required complex magic formulas and a mana core, but Greed made the story different.

‘This is a real scam.’

In fact, this was something he should’ve noticed earlier. Grid had been using the Item Transformation skill since the days when Greed was still pavranium. Pavranium had the power to perfectly reproduce the power of the item it copied. However, Grid only recognized it as the power of the Item Transformation skill. Additionally, the name of the skill itself meant the things that could be reproduced with Item Transformation were limited to ‘items.’ Yet what was the truth?

[Item Transformation]

[-A skill that can be triggered if the legendary mineral ‘pavranium’ or ‘Greed’ is possessed.

It transforms the pavranium or Greed into the shape and performance of a specific item.

* It can only transform into items you have learned how to make.

* The duration of the transformation is 3 minutes. After the transformation is released, the pavranium or Greed will return to its original form.

Skill Mana Cost: None.

Skill Cooldown Time: 6 hours.]

In the first place, Item Transformation was a skill that could only be used with pavranium. The Item Transformation skill meant the pavranium not only copied the specific item but also the skills attached to the item. Additionally, the ‘item’ mentioned here had to be approached in a more comprehensive sense. It was a thing, and could almost be considered as everything. Pavranium was a mineral that could even reproduce Grid’s hands.

‘Can I make ‘myself’ with Greed?’

Umm, this was too much. No matter how fraudulent Greed was, it couldn’t reproduce a player. There would always be restrictions.

‘It is still worth a try.’

Even if it failed, he could create a ‘golem.’ A golem had infinite power and durability. Of course, the golem was likely to have a low rating due to the balance, but it could be useful enough. A golem with all its limbs had many functions such as using tools or holding the target to restrict them.
