Second World

Since there were no rare tools in this workshop, his Master Hammer and Master Mobile Anvil provided a better bonus. Jack returned to the lodging Quarter. A large part of the lodging Quarter had bunk beds for mass usage, but there were also a few private rooms. These were exclusive for the guildʼs higher rank members. Jack entered one of these rooms and locked the door.

Inside he took out his Transformation Prism, Master Hammer, and Master Mobile Anvil.

”All right, letʼs get to work,” he said.

The next morning, Jack sent a message for Jeanny to assemble all the core members in the Guild Hall. Though she was confused as to the purpose, she still did as was asked. It took her an hour to organize the gathering. After everyone was present, Jeanny sent a message to Jack. Jack went to the Guild Hall immediately. On the way, Jack checked the guild page and saw that Paytowin was not yet a member. He sighed. If his friend didnʼt feel like it, he wonʼt push it.

Inside the Guild Hall, fifty-three core members were chatting, John was by himself working on the hologram platform, while Domon just stood by at one corner. The old man found it awkward to be amongst all these youngsters.

Jack looked at everyone when he entered. He then went to the front where the Guild Core was. He moved a table to his front and then called out, ”everyone, come near, please. I have a gift for everyone!”

”A Gift?” The others who heard were thrilled. After all, who didnʼt like gifts? Everyone immediately crowded over him, most passionate were the bunch from Men of Solidarity.

”Hey, hey! I said come nearer, but not swarm me like this. Get back! Get back!” Jack shooed them to give him some space. ”I will call you one by one. The one who I call please come before me.”

”Jeanny,” Jack called the first name.

”Me?” Jeanny came forward with a confused expression. She thought Jack was just rewarding the members to motivate them so they will do more works for the guild. As a leader herself, she needed no such motivation.

When she came before the table, she heard Jack read from the list she had given him yesterday, ”Jeanny. You have a rare spear, rare headgear, and a rare arm guard. Apart from those, all are still uncommon equipment.”

Jack then laid down five pieces of equipment onto the table before him. He said to her, ”Take these to replace your uncommon equipment.”

Jeanny checked on all the equipment on the table. She was astounded to find all of them were level 40 rare equipment. ”These… all level 40 rare?” She was speechless. Even the three rare equipment she currently wore were only level 31. The other gasped after hearing her.

When Jack saw she was still standing there looking at the equipment on the table, he said. ”Lady, can you please take these and admire them somewhere else? The others are still in the queue behind.”

Jeanny looked back, after the others saw the gifts were high-level rare grade items, they were now even more eager. They didnʼt say anything, but their eyes beseeched her to hurry up. She quickly took all the equipment on the table, thanked Jack, and moved aside.

”John!” Jack called next.

After John arrived, Jack read from the list again, ”John, you…”

”There is no need to read the list,” John cut him. ”I have six equipment below rare, just lay them out on the table.”

Jack stared at him. ”Should have called you last,” Jack grumbled with annoyance. He took the six rare equipment that he had prepared for the guy and put them on the table.

John made a quick scan then stored them all inside his inventory and walked away while humming.

ʼNot even a thank you, a*shole!ʼ Jack complained in his mind.

”Bowler,” Jack called next.

Bowler approached with anticipation. After Johnʼs comment, Jack didnʼt bother to read the list anymore. He just laid out the equipment on the table.

Bowler was gleefully taking the equipment before he frowned and asked, ”why are they only level 37?”

”I donʼt have enough ores. Those of the latter half was even only level 35,” Jack replied. ”Are you going to complain? I will take them back if so.”

”No, no! No complaining! Thank you for the gifts,” Bowler hurriedly said as he collected the equipment.
