Chapter 79: A New Mission, Upgrade in Mission?

After tidying everything up, Ethan was ready to head to the dungeon.

Today's [Daily Mission] had yet to be completed, which was his foundation for survival.

One should never forget their roots; the daily Missions were vital to Ethan's strength growth.

[Daily Mission: Create 3 magic items!]

[Progress: 0/3]

[Reward: 20 Diamonds]

Upon seeing this new Mission, Ethan was momentarily stunned.

Creating three magic items was a type of mission Ethan had never encountered before, and the reward had increased from 10 diamonds to a whole 20 diamonds.

What is going on? He's upgraded to Level 2, and the system has upgraded as well, so now he can accept Level 2 missions?

However, no one could provide him with definite answers; the system had no 'user manual' or 'customer service'.

Everything had to be figured out on his own.

"But since it's this kind of mission, let's continue—"

Ethan looked at his workbench, which Haruhime had just tidied up, sorting materials and miscellaneous items separately, discarding trash, and cleaning the table.

Approaching the table, he picked up a ruby and began to channel magic power into it.

Through 'Gem Magic', Ethan had mastered the method of using gemstones to store magic power.

The finished gemstones were somewhat similar to the magic gems of Orario, yet somewhat different.

Ethan considered using magic gems for crafting but eventually gave up the idea.

After all, they were too expensive; even the slightly inferior ones cost millions of valis.

He decided to experiment with magic gems only after he had completely mastered how to create space rings.

By infusing magic power into the gemstone, it somewhat transformed into a magic gemstone.

Then, using the 'Item Creation' skill, along with the enhancement of the 'Mystery' development ability, Ethan began to attempt creating an ultra-small Imaginary Space using this gemstone as the foundation.

Having had a successful experience before, Ethan found the mission slightly easier this time.

However, due to a lack of control, the magic exploded, and the entire gemstone shattered, wasting the magic power he had stored.

"Failed again, let's try once more—"

Picking up another gemstone, Ethan continued...

And so on, as time ticked by, his supply of gemstones steadily decreased, while the pile of failed shards grew larger.

Finally, "Success!"

After an indeterminate amount of time, Ethan finally achieved his second success.

It was a beautifully crafted sapphire.

Although it had not yet been set into a ring, this was merely a final touch; the crucial part was complete.

Creating an Imaginary Space, stabilizing it, and finally securing it represented the entire process.

It sounded easy, but only when one actually began to work could they understand how challenging it was.
