Great Great Asset Chapter 35 (Patreon)

Absorbing the book and giving myself a skill on metallurgy was a good way to get started to the day at least. Well the crafting skill was definitely nice, the crazy girl's fat tits in my face as I took a nap after reading a thick technical book was definitely a highlight.

"So what are you planning now Jake?" Matsu asked curiously as she stroked my chest and stomach lightly as she sat behind me, snuggling into my back as I was thinking.

I made a thoughtful humming noise before I said. "I was thinking about to abuse my gamer power in the best way. Especially with how I can kinda ignore reality and material's limits to an extent as my crafting skill gets better."

Sure, I technically 'could' make a god-slaying sword at some point. But besides just that, my gamer power was best used to exploit material costs in making an army of god-slaying familiars and other creations. 

What is better, a giant ritual field that can convert an entire one of these mini realms into a powerstation basically. Or a refrigerator-sized 'nuclear' reactor that would break down all materials put in and used to make power? 

Seeing as this entire universe was just a shithole of twisted, shattered worlds that weren't even as big as a small country at most. There was no point in having ties to one place, as we had to keep moving to some extent.

"Anyway... I need to get started on leveling up my crafting skill. Thankfully, I brought a bunch of scrap metal and such back from my last trip. But do you have an idea where I can set up a forge of sorts?" 

Matsu giggled and said pointedly. "Aww, darling, you realize I am a tech-based Sekirei, right? Over there in the back, I have an induction furnace in case anything needs to be heat-treated or beaten back into shape."

And an induction furnace was a good step up from a normal forge, obviously, as it heated metal up so much quicker... Though there was the issue of it not taking on some of the carbon content when forging quality steel and such things.

Still, the speed factor was exactly what I needed for what I was planning anyway!

I gave Matsu a pat on her side and said with a smile. "Alright, Matsu, come on. Let's see if I can abuse my crafting skill to speed run it!"

The induction furnace roared to life with a loud, constant humming, and from it. And I could feel my crafting skill guiding me, even at level 0, in what to do as I took out a bunch of pieces of sheet steel.

From there, I heated the pieces of sheet steel till it was cherry hot and then I pulled it out and took it to a power hammer and began beating it into rough shape.

I made the handle simply out of the metal itself with no wrapping or wooden surrounding, and after dipping the blade into a tub of oil next to the forge to heat treat. I then just ground down the edge of the blade.

And then as I pulled back from the still somewhat rough dagger I made in twenty minutes. I gave a smile as my crafting skill shot up three levels!

"Hmm... A single dagger so rough like this. Gave me enough EXP to make it to level three in crafting. Now, how can I mass-produce these daggers in higher qualities to make even more XP?" I mused to myself.

But then Matsu spoke and showed off the wonder of a 'brain' type Sekirei as she said excitedly. "Cast forging Jake! Make a mold for a dozen of these blades to pour molten metal into that is already refined anyway. And then when they are quenched all at once, we can set up a grinder line so all these blades are ground down, and sharpened at once!"

My crafting skill worked similarly to Skyrim's own crafting system. Sure, crafting a sharpness three thousand blade that could cut a planet in half would give me a massive amount of XP. 

But did I have the materials? Did I know the fucking enchantments or runes to such things? Hell no, I did not. So mass production to elevate my crafting skill was the best to go for now.

Like... If I could get the secret of making Zanpaktou's out of Rangiku, I would be fucking humping her leg right now to get that. But she sure as hell had no idea, obviously.

So for the three hours. Matsu helped greatly in making an assembly line to make these simple as fuck daggers that were just one solid piece of metal with no decoration.

And after the system started working... I got a new skill for 'Assembly Manufacturing', which increased the quality of the produced objects and reduced the cost. With the extra raw materials going straight to my inventory.

"My forging skill is in fact still going up even if it's slower." I said with a grin before I cackled at having automated my forging skill to an extent!

"Excalibur is on the way haha!" I couldn't help but joke before pausing as Matsu teased me back.

"I don't know about Excalibur, but Matsu and the rest of us did meet a group that had a little 'King' Arthur, who was a cute girl who had Caliburn ufufu," Matsu said with a giggle.

With how much of this twisted universe was filled with overstock from the Waifu Catalog's clones of waifus. It wasn't a surprise that low quality Servants would be thrown into her as well, actually.

Still, I nodded with my back popping as I said. "Something to consider in the future I guess. Anyway, I got oil and crap all over my hands, and my face is all smoky. I am going to go take a long shower... Wanna join me, Matsu?" I asked the busty redhead, who giggled pervertedly and hurriedly nodded.
