When Jerome disconnected the first thing he did was scream "ADRIAN".
A few seconds later the door to his room opened and an old man with blue eyes and gray hair came in and said, "Yes young master?"
"Bring me my meal and all the books about the blacksmith job, the medieval technique and the techniques of our time please."
"Everything will be ready in half an hour," he said, bowing slightly as he left the room.
Jerome Farino, who made his fortune in programming medical educational software in VR, owned a gigantic villa where he lived with all his family and his butler Adrian.
Jerome had hesitated to invest in the game when he had seen his popularity but after a year of boredom he had decided to don't do it , he took his phone and called Blood Boil Games the company that created the game.
"Hello Blood Boils Game what can I do for you?" a woman answered the phone, her voice was very pleasant.
"Hello I introduce myself Jerome Farino General Manager of Internationnal Vr Medic I wish to speak to the CEO of your company." Jerome answered which caused a short silence and followed by the answer at the other end of the phone.
"I contact Mr Gravein right away" after answering Jerome heard the sound of hurried footsteps, apparently his appeal to caught off guard the person who answered the phone.
After a few minutes he heard a deep voice on the phone "Hello Mr Farino, I am Mr Gravein, I am delighted to meet you"
"Hello, I'll get right to the point the things I'm going to talk about you need to have your department directors present."
"Very well, I call them, Leo calls Farid Jessica and Sam".
Jerome is extremely known in the VR business for his talent, he creates his own motion detector so accurate that almost all the doctors around the world are training on his vr software.
Mr. Gravein was very curious and stressed about this call but he knew that if he managed to sell his game to this great name of the VR he would be able to unlock a lot of money and technical means.
"They are there Mr Farino"
"Very well put me in loudspeaker, Hello I introduce myself again Jerome Farino CEO of the group Internationnal Medic Vr, I came to talk to you after having played your game for a year and a possibility of investment but nevertheless I wish to impose some small thing do not worry you I do not force ourselves to put microtransaction into play. "
The director was delighted to hear the first party but was extremely stressed towards the end.
"Currently my only condition is to develop the Craft system which in my opinion is not precise but is very nice."
"Mr Farino no need to impose on us that we have a team already working on it."
"Double their manpower, I send you a contract in which I invest 50 million euros in your company and I send you a team to develloper to improve the precision of the movement and the AI of your monster which is disastrous"
"Oh well played for the option of Manual Craft, it is very successful, your artistic department is very good and I would not touch it, right now this is the only way I enjoy myself in the game, on this good continuation and Mr Gravein the contract will be handed to you by my butler Adrian he will arrive with the team of develloper. "
Jerome hung up the phone after the staff and manager thanked him and said goodbye.
Adrian knocked on the door and entered "Your meal and what you asked me for Young Master"
"Adrian you will immediately fly to Japan and hand over this contract to the director of Blood Boils Game if he wants to negotiate call me." Adrian took the document and got out of the room
Then Jerome spent the night reading the thirty or so books that Adrian had brought him and fell asleep.
The next morning he wake up it and said, "Let's create a new character with the Crafter Class but before I have to transfer all the money to the bank."
he transfered all his money, 705 Black Inim.
The money was represented like this in the game
100 White Inim = 1 Black Inim
100 Inim Black = 1 Diamond Inim
So he had the equivalent of 7 Inim Diamond.
He created his character in his image, about 1m80 eyes almost black, long brown hair, a thin but refined body.
He chose the Crafter Class which gave him a work outfit, but now he had to choose all his harvest jobs.
He took without hesitation the job of Miner and Woodcutter but then he was completely lost he had not planned that.
"Hmm I'm curious how will be the Manual craft of alchemy let's take Herbalist."
He had 2 Harvest jobs left to take.
"Ah yes I need to work leather and cloth to make weapons from A to Z, let's take Hunter"
Still a choice to make he was going to choose it is three first craft jobs.
"Enchantments are important, let's take Magic Crystal Harvester"
"Now craft jobs, it's gonna be easy, Blacksmith, Carpenter and Leatherworker"

" Let's Take quests at the Makarit Association."
He went to the building of the association, on the way he caught the eyes of the players present in the area with his Crafter outfit but Jerome paid no attention.
He entered the building and headed for the quest board.
He was informed about the quest for craft on the internet and already knew which quests to choose more accurately a continuation of quests.
[Quest Rank F Getting the Association Badge 1/10
Before you can be tested on your Blacksmith skill you need materials to do your job.
Iron ore harvested: 0/10
Reward: 5 Inim White]
Jerome already knew where to go, a mine was in the forest of Valnim.
He took a 5-minute walk to reach the mine, there were a dozen players present killing the monsters around the mine.
Equipped with armor for the warrior and dressed for the mage, Jerome came out of the normal with his work clothes but once again he ignored the eyes of others and entered to the mine.
The mine was a safe zone no monster spawned in the mine.
Jerome started to mine, but he did not expect there to be a choice when he chose an iron vein.
[Auto Harvest 2 second, Manual Harvest 100 hit point]
Of course Jerome knew what the hit points represented, that was the amount of damage he had to inflict in order to get the result of his mining.
He chosen Manual Harvest and picked up his pick and started to hit the rock where the iron was.
-10 hit point
-10 hit point
"Oh I see the pickaxe has 5 damage and I've got 5 strength giving me 5 damage," Jerome said, continuing to mine.
After 10 strokes he received a message from the system.
[Harvested: Iron ore x4].
Normally a vein only give 3 minerals.
With a smirk Jerome continued to mine manually.
