Learning makes people happy. He closed the book. He needed to finish reading all the books related to gunsmiths as soon as possible, because in the entire Terra continent, Lateran was the only place that had the professional book on gunsmiths.

More advanced professional books are not in the library of the academy, but can only be obtained by entering the top floor of the National Library with the permission of the notary office.

The materials for assembling guns have to be purchased, and the blueprints of guns also have to be purchased. It turns out that being a gunsmith is a money-burning side job.

However, both of these problems are easy to solve in Lateran.

Putting the book back on the bookshelf, Xia Yuan turned sideways. He needed to go shopping in the market.

For the Sakotas, using guns and making guns are as familiar to them as eating and drinking water. Who can clearly remember how many slices of bread they had for breakfast?

The blueprints in the market were very expensive. Xia Yuan only had 20,000 Longmen coins in savings, so he couldn't afford the particularly expensive blueprints... Fortunately, the blueprints for the hand cannon were not expensive. After some bargaining, he spent 10,000 Longmen coins to buy the blueprints.

The gun he bought was the most common pistol, which is the Black Hawk used in today's practice.

With the gun's talent for understanding, it could easily understand the contents on the drawing. After clearing up the things on the table, Xia Yuan began the polishing work.

[You are making a hand cannon: Black Hawk, dexterity and intelligence judgment, gifted gunsmith's hand judgment, current manufacturing progress 4%]

After hammering away at iron all night, Xia Yuan was in high spirits. He felt the bonus brought to him by the gifted gunsmith's hands. His movements were very agile, and he made two Black Hawk hand cannons in one night.

However, the quality is gray, which means it is the lowest-end product, but the price of this kind of gun in the market starts at at least 30,000 Longmen coins.

To put it bluntly, the Gunsmith secondary profession is a mobile arms dealer. He plans to stock up on supplies and leave Lateran before the public beta begins.

......

Two months later.

"Teacher Farma asked me to tell you that your application materials have been approved."

One day after class, Xia Yuan packed his things to go to the library to read. On his way out, a classmate stopped him.

After being in this world for a long time, Xia Yuan no longer regards them as simple NPCs. They also have goals, missions, and dreams. They are not just a pile of data in his eyes in his previous life.

He looked at the girl, surprise flashing across his eyes.

"Mastema?"

Mostima blinked her beautiful blue eyes and noticed Xia Yuan's strange look. She looked up and down at her clothes...it seemed that there was no dust on them.

"what happened?"

"Nothing." Xia Yuan withdrew his gaze.

Just as he guessed, Mostima, the time management master who plays a certain role in the future plot, is his classmate.

It’s just that in her previous life, she had fallen from heaven, with horns on her head and her black tail swaying softly. Seeing her appearance before she fell from heaven, Xia Yuan felt a little bit fresh.

"Is Xia Yuan interested in making firearms?" Mostima asked curiously.

No matter what kind of Riddler she will be in the future plot, she doesn't seem to show any emotions. She is still an underage girl now and has not experienced those things, so she naturally won't become like that.

Two months ago, Xia Yuan applied to Mr. Farma, the firearms teacher, for the use of the gun parts in the school warehouse. He expressed his desire to develop as a gunsmith, and Mr. Farma naturally supported him. Xia Yuan, a gifted genius, achieved excellent results in all subjects. In his opinion, Xia Yuan would definitely enter the notary office in the future, and might even have the opportunity to enter the Pope's sight.

For the secondary profession of gunsmith, spare parts really burn money. He himself is on the orphan allowance of Lateran and cannot afford much money to buy spare parts in a month. He has no choice but to ask for help from the school.

"I want to be a gunsmith. Do you want to see it?"

Mastema smiled and nodded: "I am curious about how the gun was made."

The two came to the studio. After Xia Yuan entered, he nodded to several students who were maintaining the guns, and then came to his workstation. Mostima stood beside him, staring at Xia Yuan's movements.

The firearm he made was the Vulture, a small-caliber single-shot pistol. He paid for the blueprint, and the highest quality of the final product was only white. In other words, it was still a pistol for training.

With the blessing of talent and characteristics, Xia Yuan is much faster than ordinary gunsmiths. His movements are smooth and continuous, and he can complete everything from cutting metal to assembling in one go.

Mostima's eyes sparkled with admiration, thinking that Xia Yuan was the most talented classmate she had ever seen in making firearms.

In less than an hour, Xia Yuan had completed the assembly.

Looking at the light vulture pistol in his hand, Xia Yuan skillfully loaded the gun and adjusted the safety bolt, then removed the magazine and handed the gun to Mostima.

"So awesome." Mostima stroked the vulture, as if she could feel Xia Yuan's body temperature. She changed the way she held the gun, and was reluctant to let it go.

"Thank you for your patronage. Forty-five thousand Longmen coins."

"It seems that this is the price in the market." Mostima laughed and returned the gun to Xia Yuan. "Xia Yuan will definitely become a great gunsmith in the future."

"Hopefully."

......

Four months later.

Xia Yuan gained a vast amount of experience from disassembling and assembling firearms. Not only that, he also read all the books in the school library thoroughly. Not only did he finish reading all the books in the auxiliary department, he also mastered the [Basic Shooting] skills in Teacher Farma's course.

He has already thoroughly studied the blueprints of the single-shot pistol produced in Lateran, but he has not yet unlocked the blueprints of other types of pistols. In addition, there are some particularly rare blueprints that he either cannot afford or cannot buy at all.

In addition to Lateran, there are also hand cannons made by gunsmiths in other lands of Terra. However, most of the hand cannons they originally made are inferior products, and only a few gunsmiths' drawings are worth collecting.

In addition to purchasing and reverse deduction, there is a special event that allows you to obtain the blueprint in a flash when using the Gunsmith sub-profession to manufacture it.

In addition to the above three, the only way to obtain blueprints is to upgrade honestly and see what the quality of the dropped blueprints is.

His daily life was rather monotonous. After finishing his classes every day, he would talk to Mostima for a few words and then go into the library to read books.

His novice gunsmith reached level ten after accumulating experience over half a year, which gave him 7 points of dexterity and 8 points of intelligence, as well as 10 free attribute points.

The books required for advancement to the Gunsmith sub-profession are in the National Library, and he currently does not meet the requirements for the job change.

Xia Yuan did not change his auxiliary main profession. Although he had met the conditions for the promotion after the upgrade, he still lagged behind in experience. After all, guns were the only way for him to make money now.

He distributed the remaining experience to the technician, and brought the technician's secondary profession to level ten. He gained 4 points of strength, 4 points of endurance, 2 points of charm and 10 free attribute points.

As for the student secondary profession, there is no bonus. After Xia Yuan leaves Lateran in the future, this secondary profession will probably disappear on its own.

While exploring the gunsmith secondary profession, he also learned [Maintenance and Repair] and [Custom Modification]. He used his remaining experience to upgrade these two skills and basic gun manufacturing and basic gun equipment understanding to Lv10.

His level has also reached level 23, with a class rating of 0.79, gradually approaching 1 star.

If his main occupation was not support, his current rating might have exceeded 1 long ago, and he would have become what players call a one-star operator. It's just that the support occupation is too powerful in the later stages, and the drones and machines he manufactures can be organized into a team. The bonus that the support characteristics give to the entire team is terrifying. This is what it means that one person is truly an army and one person makes an army.

Some secondary professions can only be learned by specific main professions. Secondary professions such as gunsmith, mechanic, and craftsman can only be learned by assistants.

Although his level is 23, it is ultimately a fictitious level, because after deducting the level of his student secondary occupation, he is only level 21. In addition to the high HP and MP, Xia Yuan's only means of attack is to rely on the bonus of his secondary occupation technician. It is no wonder that his score is so low.

In the past, there were many players who were eager for quick success and profit and practiced simple secondary professions madly in order to level up. As a result, their attributes did not improve at all. They joined the team with full confidence, but the countdown started in a short while, and they were treated as laughing stocks in the forums.

Xia Yuan, who was about to reach the level cap of 1.0, breathed a sigh of relief. The efforts of the past six months were not in vain.

The ratio of Terra time to the real world time is three to one. This is the setting to allow players to experience the authentic other world. The day of internal testing is approaching. In half a year, the fourth disaster, known as the Sky-Descenders, will descend on this land one after another.

Chapter 5: First Step on Earth

“I plan to apply for graduation early.”

During lunch break, Xia Yuan said to Mostima who was sitting next to him eating lunch.

Mostima swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Is it because Xia Yuan has already learned everything he should learn in school?"

In half a year, she became more and more beautiful, but her gentle and plain temperament remained unchanged, and her long blue hair had reached her waist.

"Yes." Xia Yuan nodded and said, "I am going to report to the notary office and get a chance to leave Lateran."

"It's just that you're not yet an adult."

“Age doesn’t mean anything.”

Mostima chuckled and looked at Xia Yuan, "Where are you going?"

"Go to Syracuse, and then travel around Terra like a messenger."

Mastema looked at Xia Yuan's expression. She saw something, but said nothing. "Did you know that when Sakota reaches the age of 20, he will be given a guardian gun?"

The Guardian Gun is a gun that the Sakota clan can only obtain after they reach adulthood. This gun will never leave the person's side throughout his life, and will accompany its owner into the cemetery in the future.

The Guardian Gun actually looks and functions no different from other guns, but it is of great significance to Sakota.

"I know."

Mostima stood up, turned his back to him and walked a few steps away. He stretched his body like the sun was rising, then smiled, "When I'm twenty years old, I wonder if the most talented gunsmith can make a guardian gun for me?"

[You have triggered the B-rank mission [Her Guardian Gun], accept/give up? ]

Through dialogue, players can accept tasks from NPCs. For the purpose of experiment, Xia Yuan found a cat, delivered cakes and bought supplies for his neighbors. He finally understood the task system. Even though he is an NPC, he can accept tasks from NPCs.

"of course can."

[Mission details: Mostima, your first friend in Lateran, always looks so gentle and calm. She is very popular in school and has sent you a commission to make a guard gun that belongs only to her. In the future, will you be friends, comrades, enemies, or...? Time will tell us the answer. In any case, this gun will protect her for life.]

[Quest requirements: Build a guard gun just for Mastema]

[Reward: 40000 experience points]

[Special Reward: Unknown]

Xia Yuan had no idea about the future. This was all the information he knew. He had no idea whether Mostima would change his actions in the future. He just nodded to Mostima and walked away.

He has his own ambitions. If the Sorting Hat existed, it would probably put him in the Snake House without hesitation.

"I applied to graduate early and take the notary office's assessment."

Xia Yuan had excellent grades, so graduating early was not a problem. The principal tried to persuade him to stay. He was really sad about Xia Yuan's departure. Xia Yuan, the school's positive role model, was gone. From now on, he would only encounter the negative role model, the bomber Lei Mule, every day.

The assessment of the notary office has become much more formal. If Xia Yuan, after graduating from school, changed from a student to a citizen applicable to items 1 to 13 of the Lateran Civil Rights, then after entering the notary office his identity will be transformed into a civil servant.

The advantage of being a civil servant is that he has credentials when he is outside and does not have to pay any money when passing through the customs to enter the city. It is also easier to get things done with a high status.

There are many types of jobs in a notary office. The position that Xia Yuan is targeting is a messenger. This job has a guaranteed salary, and the bonus and commission all depend on how many orders you receive and how many letters you deliver. In short, the salary is like a salesperson.

For Xia Yuan, this is the most suitable job. He only lacks a reason to walk on this land, and he does not lack the commissions.

The examiner from the notary office was surprised to see Xia Yuan's attitude towards becoming a civil servant at such a young age. The old man looked at Xia Yuan's age with trembling eyes and was shocked to find that the little guy was not yet an adult.

In all his years on duty, this was the first time he had seen such a young candidate.

In the past, players had to go through several months of hard work to get a job at a notary office. First, you had to be a citizen of Lateran. Second, you had to have enough loyalty points. Third, you had to have lived in the holy city of Lateran for more than a year. Fourth, you had to complete a set of complex assessment tasks. Fifth, the notary office had a limited number of places open to players!

Xia Yuan remembered that in his previous life, there seemed to be only five or six digit vacancies, but for players worth tens of millions, it was still a drop in the bucket. This position was really on a first-come, first-served basis, and unless someone voluntarily stepped down from the position, the vacancies would be filled.

So in the past, there were some studios that opened a small account specifically to become civil servants in the notary office. If someone wanted to buy a position, the studio would operate two accounts, one number would abdicate and the other number would take over.

But sometimes there are too many people applying for the position, and the studio is helpless after being snatched away by others several times.

Whether they are messengers or executors of the notary office, they will eventually leave Lateran and walk on the land of Terra for Lateran.

They pursue their ideals and, to a certain extent, give up satisfying their personal material desires. What they do has a positive impact on others, society and order.

The holy city of Lateran is a paradise on earth, but the angels who chose to leave Lateran witnessed and accepted the suffering of the world, and lived together with people who were not Sakota, improving the chaos around them with their actions, whether it was large or small.
