Return Of Aegis

ZeRen didn't even bother to say anything, he knew this was just the beginning. Unique rank items would the the norm for core members. Nothing special to harp about, ZeRen was looking forward to the named bows. He was confident that ZeLin could at the barest minimum make 5 named bows.

Sure enough, over the course of the next 2 days, ZeLin produced ten more unique rank Evolution Bows, bringing his tally to 11 unique rank bows. By now, ZeLin was once again losing his temper. He only had 16 sets of materials left and he had yet to make a single named bow. He was seriously fuming while burning even more brain cells, trying to figure out what was wrong.

As far as he was concerned, there were no more flaws in forging the bow. The only variable was the bowstrings, previously it was obviously a flaw with the bow, so he had not bothered to check the bowstrings. Now that he had more or less perfected the bow, he had to look deeper into the bowstrings.

After another day of experimenting, he finally found the flaw. Although the strings he made were malleable, it was overly so, making it unable to store energy well enough.

This time he lowered the silver steel by 7 ores, and added it to the 3 wind ores. For the bow he used 43 silver steel ores, 7 wind ores and 1 emerald, for the bowstring he used 7 silver steel ore and 3 wind ores.

When the bow came off the mold, he knew he had made another breakthrough. Even before polishing, the bow already had a faint greenish glow to it. Calming his excited heart, ZeLin inspected every nook and cranny of the bow, making sure there were no defects. After polishing, the green glow was much obvious. Completing the bow by tying on the bowstring, ZeLin finally got the notification he was waiting for!

Briefly informing ZeRen that he was going for his 2nd job quest, ZeLin immediately took the teleportation station back to Master Kanahema. The only other shocking thing ZeLin had done was only noticed when ZeRen opened up the Guild menu and saw how close they were to leveling up the guild.

Guild Exp : 8,600 / 10,000

All they needed was 1,400 more, only ZeLin knew he contributed 5,600 guild exp. That meant the balance 3,000 exp came from the combined efforts of Sim and WeiMing. Thanks to those two, their guild storage was filled with hp/mp potions as well as various styles of cooked wolf meat.

ZeRen had not been slacking off either, he had gathered and sent all the materials he got from hunting straight to the lifestyle area.
