Chapter 34: Master Blacksmith, Burt

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The people had become numb to the explosions of information about Mike in the World Channel. It was so annoying that Mike could just do anything he wanted and travel to the city.

Mike turned off the chat and sat down and started to refine the source spirit.

It was not difficult to refine. Soon, the contents of the source spirit started appearing in Mike’s mind. He could use the source spirit to look back at the memories at any time and it was easier to learn.

Grasping the memory from the head means seeing the memories from the point of view of another person, and through the source spirit, it would be like experiencing one’s own memory.

Mike quickly learned an important skill.

[Obtained Skill: Rain of Fire]

He raised his eyebrows because he knew this was not just a simple skill, but a skill that could be strengthened, forged, and upgraded.

In short, if Mike fused the other skills into the Rain of Fire, it would evolve, not level up.

Into a higher tier!

This was a special trait that most skills didn’t have.

[Rain of Fire: Area wide effect. Hits 3 times per second, causing 500% damage for 10 seconds. It also applies the effect ‘Ignite’ and ‘Heavy’.]

This skill was just too overpowered, and it was only in its most basic state.

Once it’s upgraded…

It was definitely worthy of being a skill that he obtained from the primordial God in his mind. Apart from that, Mike had also obtained many other skills.

The best and most suitable one to use should still be the Rain of Fire.

“In the future, this skill can replace the Fireball spell and become my most commonly used skill.” Mike laughed.

On Mike’s doppelganger side, he had heard lots of new information.

The Palace of the Heavenly King and the other palaces were all issuing quests within the palace. They were searching for geniuses to clear all Silver and Gold dungeons quickly, just to get the first clear and the first perfect clear…

All for the sake of restricting Mike.

To ensure Mike never entered the world again, and to ensure that he wouldn’t be able to exert his influence.

‘I’d like that very much,’ Mike thought to himself.

He didn’t like to be too high-profile. But, he was always high-profile whether he liked it or not.

His doppelganger traveled everywhere and heard a lot of news.

There was one part of the news that Mike was particularly interested in.

‘What’s wrong with these people?’

Mike’s doppelganger noticed some high-level officials of the Heavenly King’s Palace were dejected. They all looked very disappointed.

He was very curious about what made them so helpless. They clearly used to be very powerful.

“They’ve been rejected by Burt again?” someone beside him said.

“Burt? Rejected?”

Mike raised his eyebrows when he heard that and connected the dots in his mind. “Could it be that this Burt is some peerless beauty that caused them all to fall head over heels for her?”

“Pfft.” The person laughed when he heard that.

“Burt is a man!”

“A man!?”

Mike was shocked. “They were bewitched by a man?”

“???” The person beside him did not understand Mike’s logic for a moment.

“It’s not a matter of feelings! Burt is a master Blacksmith. Recently, I heard that he forged a Divine Weapon. Many people were fighting over it.”

“What weapon is that? And why is it that so many people can’t get it?” Mike was curious.

“I’m not sure. I heard that it’s at Diamond-Tier weapon, but it isn’t as simple as a normal one.”

This person suddenly mysteriously lowered his voice. “I heard that it’s a levelless weapon. It’s very high-level, yet it can be used by a user of any level.”

“?” Mike could not help but be surprised.

“Are you sure that there’s such weapon?”

“You’re interested too?” The other party laughed.

“I can tell you Master Burt’s location. You can try getting it.”

Mike was indeed interested.

A weapon with no level requirement, did he even need him to explain the advantages of wearing it?

“Master Burt is very arrogant. You might not even get to see him, but don’t be discouraged,” said the person next to him.

Then, he gave Master Burt’s address to Mike, and Mike headed towards the place.

It was indeed lively here, many people had gathered outside. They were all people of high status in the various palaces.

“Why can’t they get in?” Mike asked.

“Master Burt said that good equipment should be given to those who understand it, and he will meet whoever that he feels understands the equipment. Of course, he will only meet them, and not anything else,” someone explained.

“How do you prove to him that you understand?”

“Over there.” The person pointed at it. “Look at that equipment. It was Master Burt’s famous work back then. Go over and give it an evaluation. Master Burt will give you an answer. It might be to meet you, or ask you to leave.”

“Has anyone qualified? What did he say?” Mike asked.

“No.” The person shook his head. “They gave a bunch of evaluations, but Master Burt was not willing to see any of them.”

The difficulty was quite high. There were so many big shots from various palaces, yet none of them could satisfy Burt.

None of them could make Burt feel that they understood the equipment? How high was Burt’s standard?

“Let’s see what kind of godly equipment this is.” Mike went over to take a look.

It was a blade, and it was very sharp.

There were dragons and phoenixes carved on the handle of the blade, and it was indeed a good blade.

“The blade is not bad, but… It’s just so-so,” Mike muttered.

It seemed that it was not as good as the Gold-Tier set equipment that Mike had obtained from Haifado village.

“Excuse me, what did you say?” However, at this moment, a maid next to him heard Mike’s mumbling and asked. “Please repeat that.”

This was the first time that the maid had taken the initiative to talk.

Previously, she was only answering questions from other people. Now, she had taken the initiative to speak to Mike?

Many people looked over.

“Hello.” Immediately, a person from the Palace of the Heavenly King came over and looked at the maid. “This person’s name is Mike. He had just joined the Palace of the Heavenly King and does not know proper etiquette. Please forgive him. I apologize to Master Burt on behalf of the Palace of the Heavenly King!”

“No, I want him to repeat what he said just now,” the maid said.

Silence.

The people from each palace looked at Mike sympathetically.

What bad luck. He had offended Master Burt right away. Burt was an existence that all the palace masters didn’t dare to offend.

After all, he was a master who could forge Diamond-Tier equipment or equipment of even higher levels!

He was the only one!

“Please say it again.” the maid looked at Mike.

“Quickly, apologize and kneel. Beg for her forgiveness. She represents Master Burt and offending her means offending him.” The people from the Heavenly King’s palace advised him from the side.

Apologize?

Kneel?

Mike couldn’t do it.

After all, he hadn’t said anything wrong. This equipment was indeed trash.

“I just said that this blade is nothing special. Its quality is only so-so,” Mike said.

Many people shook their heads.

It was over.

It was Master Burt’s famous work and he actually dared to comment like this!

If Master Burt was angry and punished him…

That would probably be a difficult punishment to withstand, and this might cause Mike’s position in the Heavenly King’s palace to be problematic.

“Sigh!”

The people of the Heavenly King’s palace sighed one after another.

Young and frivolous, ignorant of the complexities and difficulties of the world. They wouldn’t be able to protect Mike from this either.

However…

What everyone didn’t expect was for the maid to smile.

“Hello, Mike, right? You’re someone who knows about equipment. Master Burt is willing to see you. Follow me,” the maid invited with a smile.

The people around were dumbfounded.

Their first reaction was to think that they had heard wrongly.

By belittling that equipment, he had received praise instead and Master Burt was willing to meet him?!

“So Master Burt wants us to tell the truth…”

“The secret was right here!”

Everyone was annoyed.

In fact, they could tell that the equipment was not that good. But, who dared to say that it was trash?

Mike had defeated them all.
