Supreme Archer: Taking The Game's Weakest Class To The Top

Chapter 83: Artisan Quest (3)



Meaning Aaron could write down a book and share his experience with him as well. He also understood that time was precious and that he could rely on the system to learn a lot without Aaron\'s help.

All he needed was his knowledge.

Had he been his usual self, he would have come out with different methods to cajole Master Aaron.

Perhaps some of Ingrid\'s confidence had been rubbed off him as he went in and cut to the chase after a few pleasantries.

"Ah, yeah," Jake awkwardly smiled, "I\'ve brought sushi for us. It\'s really tasty. Viktor loves it."

Stupefied, Aaron lowered his eyes to the two boxes.

Once Jake unwrapped them, Aaron salivated a little more. It was important to eat while drinking alcohol, but he had been ignoring that for some time now. He really wanted to taste this sushi that was under his nose!

"Yer crafty brat," Aaron snatched the box with sushi and dug in.

Jake chuckled and ate his share as well.

A few minutes later, Aaron said, "So yer wants a quest, huh."

"Yes, if you\'re unwilling to teach me stuff in person, I don\'t mind following your quests," Jake replied. It\'d be better to learn about skills from the source as there were terms and things the quest\'s description couldn\'t explain.

It was for this reason that the special land for newbie crafting classes had masters and apprentices breezing between portable workbenches to assist new players.

Those NPCs were familiar with players. They could hand out quests without batting an eye and compel players to follow their ways.

In other words, they had briefs, rewards, and skills to hand out in abundance.

Aaron hadn\'t taught many players, meaning his first quest would be simple. In fact, it could be anything, from tasking Jake with bringing him a different liquor from another capital or killing a few monsters.

"Artisan is a broad occupation. What yer have eyes on?" Aaron asked.

Jake nodded, "I want to learn how to make bows and equipment. Not just wooden bows but also metal and even from scales or bones… the same goes for equipment. My newbie helper told me to learn traps, so I also would like to learn them… didn\'t have time for that. I also want to learn about jewelry. I have a gem I want to turn into a sight."

"A sight?" Aaron asked before throwing sushi into his old mouth.

Jake chuckled, "Yes. I want to include modern bow features in my bow. By modern, I mean features from my world. So far, I have ideas for a stabilizer, an arrow rest, and a sight."

"Yer got me curious. Share what yer knows," Aaron caressed his long silver beard as he told Jake.

Jake nodded, "A stabilizer helps with the bowstring\'s vibrations. I add this to the bow\'s riser… my first bow had a pretty long pole, but I\'ve come to the conclusion that adding three shorter poles should do me better. One stabilizer below, one in the middle, and one at the top. An arrow rest is also a feature that can be reattached at any point.

I\'ve been using a bow without it, and honestly, I kinda miss it. It helps with the trajectory as I can easily slide my arrow. A sight is also an attachable feature that allows me to see my targets better. It\'s like a scope.

"You might be wondering why would I go for a sight? There should be archery skills to help with eyesight, right? Like a skill to bring mana to an eye to enhance vision. I thought about it.

I think two is better than one," Jake smirked, "But even if that\'s wrong and maybe pointless, a sight can help me lock on one target—maybe the crucial target I must keep an eye on while the enhanced vision helps me keep an eye on the rest. I have also thought of silencers… but I don\'t know if I can make them."

"Tell me," Aaron replied in such a deep voice that it could have been mistaken for him demanding a reply.

The bartender and Jake grinned.

"Silencers are like gums attached to the bowstring or bow\'s riser. It helps with vibrations and the sound. While I love the whistles, I think it\'d be possible to make a silent arrow completely, both in release and flight, with the silencers.

Magic is flashy, no matter what type, and only assassins truly wear silent mana… but the silent archery is deadlier than any assassin\'s blade!" Jake proudly stated without having any experience.

But he believed in that.

Aaron also could see why.

The old man whispered, "Interesting…"

Jake chuckled, "I haven\'t said the best part."

"Oh?" Aaron reacted with a clear interest.

Jake smiled at him, "The bow looks much cooler with those modern features."

"Haha!" Aaron burst out laughing. His jovial voice rippled across the tavern, gathering everyone\'s attention. When the rest saw his red nose, however, they called him a drunkard and ignored him.

Aaron was still laughing to no end.

Despite all those modern features and their uses, Jake loved that he would stand out and look cool! It was such a young and naive way of thinking.

Aaron, however, used to be the same in his late teens. He loved to design his craft.

Minerva had also told him that the world was heading in the direction where weapons would be forgotten! It had left such a stamp on his heart that only Viktor could have taken him out for the last tango.

But today, Jake had stirred his heart again.

"If yer could make a bow and arrows with mana alone, would yer go for it?" Aaron asked.

Jake shook his head, "I feel mana through items. There are people like me, lots of them. I will make at least thirty percent of them archers."

Aaron stood up. "Get up. We\'re going to my workplace."

He was so sober it was a shock.
