Battle Online: My Luck Is So High It's Basically Cheating-Chapter 37: Points of Luck

"Hello, I would like to learn Forging Skill and Mining Skill!"

Lucien arrived at the entrance of the smithy and said to the burly, tall blacksmith.

At this moment, the blacksmith also looked up at Lucien.

The moment he saw Lucien, the blacksmith’s eyes lit up, and he muttered:

"Eh? To think you are actually a Chosen One with maxed-out initial Strength and Stamina stats! Tsk tsk tsk, this build is simply born for forging!"

Then, the Blacksmith Uncle said in a booming voice: "Kid, why don’t you just stay here and forge equipment with me in the future? Why go out to the wilderness to grind monsters? That’s a complete waste of your talent!"

Upon hearing this, Lucien was stunned for a moment, then said: "I’ll pass! The world we live in is not safe. If I don’t have the strength to protect myself, I’m afraid I’ll just end up as a machine for others to forge equipment!"

After hearing this, the Blacksmith Uncle emitted a powerful aura. This wave of pressure even made it hard for Lucien to breathe.

This was an aura that only someone above level sixty could possess.

Could this blacksmith actually be an expert?

"Who said we blacksmiths are weak? We forge iron year-round, so our physical strength is stronger than any other profession of the same level."

"Furthermore, the equipment we forge is incredibly compatible with us. As long as we learn a few skills, we can absolutely beat those professionals until they are scurrying away in fear!"

Lucien still shook his head and said: "I’ll pass! I need to quickly increase my strength; forging equipment is not suitable for me at the moment!"

Seeing Lucien persist, the Blacksmith Uncle didn’t make things too difficult and sighed: "What a pity. Fine, that’s alright. I can teach you the blacksmith sub-class, but before that, you need to do me a favor. As long as you can do it, I can teach you the true art of the blacksmith for free!"

Lucien’s heart stirred, and he quickly asked: "The true art of the blacksmith? What do you mean? Is there something different about it?"

The Blacksmith Uncle smiled and said: "Of course it’s different. You all have only learned Forging Skill; being able to forge gold-tier equipment is already a sign of extraordinary talent."

"But that is not the essence. Only by specializing as a blacksmith can one forge divine artifacts!"

"However, it is a pity that to become a blacksmith, the requirements for your own stats are very harsh. Your initial Strength stat must be above fifteen points."

"Up until now, I have never seen a Chosen One whose initial stats could reach twenty points."

Hearing that it was actually possible to forge divine artifacts, Lucien immediately got excited.

"Uncle, what favor do you want me to do?"

The Blacksmith Uncle said: "In the Xuanming Pagoda, I placed a gold hammer. As long as you help me retrieve it, I can help you change your class to a blacksmith."

The Blacksmith Uncle’s words left Lucien confused for a moment.

"Blacksmith Uncle, if I understand you correctly, are you saying you put the gold hammer into the Xuanming Pagoda?"

The Blacksmith Uncle said matter-of-factly: "That’s right! Is there a problem?"

Lucien said: "Why did you put the gold hammer in the Xuanming Pagoda?"

The Blacksmith Uncle said: "Nothing special, just a test. Only by clearing the twelfth floor of the Xuanming Pagoda can one obtain the blacksmith class change from me."

Lucien shook his head and said: "Uncle, what I mean is, you should have long since exceeded the level limit to enter the Xuanming Pagoda, right! How did you get in?"

The Blacksmith Uncle suddenly realized, and said: "That little dungeon rule can’t restrict me. I just forged a little trinket, and it fooled the rules there."

"Here, it’s this thing!" He said, taking out a mask.

Thousand-Change Mask. Level: 0. Grade: Immortal.

Can transform into anyone’s appearance, including their level and stats. However, it only displays the other person’s appearance, level, and stats; you are not actually them. Description: A little trinket casually forged by Ouyang Zi.

No way! A little trinket casually forged is actually an Immortal-tier item. What kind of background does this guy in front of me have?

Lucien couldn’t help but suspect, could his entire body be equipped with divine artifacts?

No wonder he said that even a blacksmith could beat professionals until they were scurrying away in fear. If I were fully equipped with divine artifacts, I would dare to say that too.

"Um, Blacksmith Uncle, can you see if you can help me change to a regular blacksmith first? I want to reinforce some equipment."

Ouyang Zi said: "Reinforcing equipment isn’t something that requires much technical skill. Whether the reinforcement succeeds or not mainly depends on one’s own Luck."

However, Lucien didn’t take out the equipment, but looked at the Blacksmith Uncle and said: "I’d better reinforce it myself! My Luck is quite good."

Ouyang Zi heard this and said disdainfully: "Your Luck is good? My initial Luck was as high as 11 points, which caused a sensation throughout the entire Jiuzhou Empire back then!" "How much Luck do you even have!"

After speaking, he picked up the teapot from the side, took a delightful sip, and looked at Lucien triumphantly. The kid must be scared silly, right? Eleven points of initial Luck—this is a once-in-a-century occurrence.

Lucien was stunned upon hearing this—eleven points of Luck? Such high Luck; the vast majority of players couldn’t compare. In his previous life, Lucien hadn’t even heard of anyone whose Luck exceeded five points.

He just hadn’t expected that even among Native Residents, there weren’t many people with over ten points of Luck. He just glanced at his own Luck, which was as high as 24 points, and the Fate skill had already cooled down. If he used the skill, he could temporarily increase his Luck by 200 points.

Lucien quietly said: "My current Luck is 24 points, and my initial Luck was 20 points!"

Ouyang Zi, who had just taken a sip of water, sprayed it out directly. He excitedly grabbed Lucien’s shoulders and said incredulously: "What did you say? You said your initial Luck was 20 points? And you already have 24 points now?"

"Ding, you received an attack from Ouyang Zi, HP reduced by 1000." "Ding, you received an attack from Ouyang Zi, HP reduced by 1000." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Lucien quickly said: "Uncle, Uncle, let go quickly, I’m going to die!"

Hearing Lucien’s words, Ouyang Zi reacted and quickly released Lucien’s shoulders. He said with an extremely serious expression: "Is your Luck really 20 points?"

Lucien nodded again and even shared the Luck stat from his panel for him to check. Looking at that 24-point Luck, Ouyang Zi first tried hard to calm his mood. Then he said solemnly: "Since that is the case, I will teach you the most basic art of the blacksmith first!"

"Ding, Ouyang Zi is teaching you Blacksmithing skills, do you accept?" "Accept"
