Hidden Class: Artificer
"Holy crap, we actually did it!"
"Hey-hey."
The Battlefield Wheelchair Man stroked the massive stock of his homemade rifle as if caressing his future lover.
Steel Frenzy slapped his hand away. "Go away, get out of here, you're acting like a pervert."
A player with the ID "Electromagnetic Detonation" suggested, "This is the first gun we've ever made. It's very significant. We should give it a name."
The Battlefield Wheelchair Man excitedly suggested, "How about calling it SMG0818? Or even Type-2 Submachine Gun? These are all names I really like!"
Steel Frenzy scoffed, "Get lost, don't try to associate your crappy Wheelchair Gun with that."
"And this is a shotgun."
"How about the M30 Composite Gun?" the Battlefield Wheelchair Man asked again.
Steel Frenzy ignored him, pondered for a moment, and then made a decision. "Since this gun can shoot steel balls, why don't we call it Steel Sprayer?"
Everyone: "."
This moment of silence says it all.
Steel Frenzy seemed to realize that the name was a bit inappropriate, and scratched his head rather embarrassedly, quickly changing his words, "I was just joking, how about we discuss it again?"
However, just as everyone was preparing for the next round of debate, a message appeared on the panel.
Amidst the lingering smell of Gunsmoke, a faint magical glow appeared on the rough barrel of the homemade gun, a result of the magical reactions that had occurred during the firing of the bullet.
[Manufacturer's name successfully created!][You have successfully created the Magic Weapon [Steel Sprayer]] [Steel Sprayer]
Quality: Special
Range: Within 50 meters, it depends on luck; beyond 50 meters, it's all up to fate.
Brief introduction: This gun was made with the most rudimentary equipment and the crudest materials, but it embodies the hard work of more than a dozen blacksmiths. The pitted and hammered marks on the barrel tell its story.
This simple shotgun requires tens of seconds to reload, possibly even longer, and can only fire once per load. But believe me, with its power, before the second shot, the dense swarm of steel pellets will turn you into a mangled mess! "The direction of the times lies beneath my hammer!" — From gun maker, Steel Frenzy Steel Frenzy.
The Battlefield Wheelchair Man patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Boss, it's okay. Although the name is a bit awful, at least we're remembered for our infamy... no, for our place in history."
"From now on, whenever someone mentions you, they'll say, 'Hey, that's the creator of the first gun in ' Erezege,' the great Fighter, Steel Frenzy!'"
In the end, the Battlefield Wheelchair Man couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Steel Frenzy glared at him fiercely.
But soon, everyone's attention was drawn to the refreshed panel information.
Steel Frenzy muttered to himself, "Holy crap."
[You have created a new magical item, unlocking the hidden class: Artificer!][In the multiverse, Artificer create inventions and magical items for both peace and war. Many lives have been illuminated or saved by the work of benevolent Artificer, but countless others have suffered mass destruction due to their ingenious creations.][As master inventors, Artificer use ingenuity and magic to unleash the extraordinary abilities of objects. They view magic as a complex system waiting to be decoded and then utilized in their spells and inventions, employing a wide variety of tools to channel their arcane power.][Your current class is detected as: Barbarian][Change class?][Note: Changing class will incur an experience penalty; your experience points will be reduced to 40% of your original value. Please consider carefully.] Steel Frenzy was instantly excited, waving his hand dismissively. "What the hell am I even considering—"
"I'm confirming my job change!"
[Your current class is: Level 1 Artificer] [In order to cast spells, Artificer may use Sorcerer's tools to create a powerful elixir, use calligrapher's tools to inscribe a symbol of power, or use repair tools to create a temporary talisman.]
[The magic of the Artificer is inextricably linked to their tools and talents; few other professions can create items that utilize the rules of multiverse magic as effectively as the Artificer.] [Gain the Artificer Profession Trait: [Magical Craft]] [Magical Craft]: [You have learned how magic works, how to channel magic into objects, and how to awaken magic. Therefore, you have gained limited spellcasting abilities. To onlookers, you don't cast spells in the traditional way—you appear to be creating miracles from various objects. You will learn how to infuse ordinary objects with magical sparks.] After reading the profession introduction, Steel Frenzy was incredibly excited.
"The spring of our Church of the Machine God has arrived!"
"In the future, we can build everything from airplanes and cannons to aircraft carriers and Gundams!"
The Steel Frenzy clenched his fists and raised his arms, shouting:
"Flesh and blood are weak and feeble, while machinery soars!"
Keosius lay cross-legged in the Giant's Maw Cave, observing the players' jubilant scene in the Blacksmith Shop through Magic Image, his expression slightly surprised.
"The Church of the Machine God?"
"Isn't this a guild that only appeared after the server opened? How come it's already taking shape now, and even unlocked the Artificer ahead of schedule?"
The Church of the Machine God was one of the most powerful player guilds in later generations.
In the early days of the guild's establishment, the [Church of the Machine God] was just a small organization of mechanical enthusiasts, and their guild leader, "Steel Frenzy," was just an ordinary mechanical engineering college student.
However, as the number of players entering "Erezege" grew larger and larger, this early-starting guild attracted top talents from all over the world, including some scientists who were at the forefront of various fields. This made the style of the "Church of the Machine God" guild in the later stages look like science fiction, and they even built a floating Sky Fortress in the Mechanus as their headquarters.
"We must accept the offer of amnesty."
"We must take control of this force."
Keosius watched as the shotgun shells tore the scarecrow to shreds and made up his mind.
Therefore, Lang Pu, the chief steward of the Ember Nest and the Great Wise One, personally came to Bator City and recruited the members of the [Church of the Machine God], promising generous treatment, ample funding, and the most advanced magical resources. He even offered to give each person a bottle of precious Dragon Blood Potion.
Under the onslaught of sugar-coated bullets, the Steel Frenzy, which had yet to see the world, was defeated.
The promise of ample funding, in particular, deeply impressed him after months of frugal blacksmithing.
Steel Frenzy led his guild members to join without hesitation, happily becoming the Red Dragon's lackeys— Half-Dragon.
Now he not only has more energy for forging iron, but he can even breathe fire on his own, saving him the trouble of fanning the furnace.
With the Bugbear and Ogre working at full speed, a brand-new, large-scale building appeared in the Bator City in just seven days.
A huge iron sign hangs at the entrance— Storm Armory.
The snow was too heavy, I was stuck for a long time, please forgive me.
