"Ethan, in addition to the combat level, you also have to find time to develop your side hustle." After the morning session, Athera walked over and patted Ethan on the shoulder.

"Side hustle?" Ethan asked quizzedly, shaking his wet hair.

"Yes, in addition to the main profession of combat profession, system warriors can also cultivate side hustles. I'm a blacksmith, Kevin is like me, Carl is a prop master, and Sophia is a healer. ”

"The system warrior not only surpasses ordinary humans in terms of physique, speed, strength, and spirit, but this superhuman physique is also suitable for development in the fields of gun forging, programming, and scientific research, and becomes the strongest mechanic, hacker, and scientist ......"

Before Ashera could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Ethan.

"What you're saying isn't for me." Ethan asserted without even thinking about it.

Ethan wants to be the strongest warrior and has no time to waste on these things.

"Don't worry, you can get attribute rewards and special skill rewards by increasing the level of your side hustle~" Ashera tempted.

Seeing that Ethan still looked lacking in interest, Athera added: "There are still experience points~"

Ethan took the bait, his eyes flickering, and he hesitated.

"Although the side hustle is boring, the experience you can gain is no less than simulation training, and it will not cause damage to your body." Seeing that Ethan had been destroying his body for the past few days, and was afraid that he would leave any sequelae in the future, Athera hoped that he would temporarily stop training and turn to a side job.

Ethan nodded in acceptance of Athera's suggestion.

After a quick lunch, Ethan followed Ashera's instructions and went to the smelting room on the second floor of the vault.

The smelting room is not small, covering an area close to half of the training ground. When you walk in, you will see a variety of machine tools of different sizes, tool tables, and a mountain of broken machine parts, scrap iron, and copper stacked in the corners. The most striking thing is the huge furnace in the center of the smelter, from which a formidable heat wave emanates, and where the whole shelter is heated during the bitter cold season.

It was lunchtime, and only a woman in a black vest with a coat hanging from her waist was still working in the huge smelting room, and she was seen doing debugging work in front of a machine. At the back of the machine, several fixed frames supported a mech of the same size as the Ant-Number, which was sometimes waving and sometimes stepping under the woman's adjustment.

"Hello." Ethan walked up behind the woman and said.

Anna was engrossed in the final debugging of the mecha at this time, when she suddenly heard a voice behind her, which disrupted all her thoughts.

"Who!" Anna scolded with some annoyance.

After turning around and seeing that it was a system warrior, Anna was stunned for a moment, and didn't know what to say to express her anger, so she had to pout and say, "Next time, don't interrupt others when they are working hard." ”

"I don't even remember which step, alas!" Anna turned to look through the drawings and drafts of the various data scattered on the table, trying to find the location of the previous debugging.

However, when Anna flipped through the drawings, she accidentally pressed a button, and the supporting arm was released in an instant. But even so, the fixing brackets around the mech are enough to support the mech.

Anna realized that she had touched a button by mistake, and she was a little panicked, and she was in a hurry to operate, but she accidentally touched the control button of the mecha, and on the fixed frame, the mecha raised its left foot and fell forward slowly, crushing several thin scaffolding.

"Ahhh Anna watched as the mecha fell backwards in her direction, and she retreated in fright, screaming and screaming.

"Quicksand!" Ethan made an instant decision, pushed Anna aside, and turned on the quicksand technique to block the mech's whereabouts.

Ethan, a mecha weighing one or two tons, didn't have the confidence to support it on his own, but it wasn't difficult to just guide it down.

Condensing the magnetic force of his whole body to his fingertips, Ethan placed his hands on the mecha's waist, changing the direction of its fall.

"Bang!" The force of the impact blows the drawings in all directions.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" The employees of the central control center who had not yet left work heard Anna's cry and hurried over to see what was going on.

"Whew~" Anna stood up from the ground and said to several employees: "I touched it by mistake just now, the support frame didn't hold up, and the mecha fell, but fortunately Ethan is here." ”

"Oh, what a blessing! It's okay if you're okay, so let's go back to work first. Seeing that nothing had happened, several employees went back to their respective jobs.

Looking at the mess, Anna walked up to Ethan and said, "It's really embarrassing, I let you see my gaffe when we met for the first time." ”

"Thank you for what you just did, I owe you a favor. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself to you, my name is Anna, I'm the head of the smelter, and I'm a full-fledged mechanic. Anna said as she crouched down to pick up the blueprints and drafts that had been blown away.

"It's okay, if I hadn't influenced you, you wouldn't be like that." After Ethan finished speaking, he also helped pick up the drawings.

"You're supposed to be here to learn blacksmithing, right? Follow me. After putting away the drawings scattered on the ground, Anna clapped her hands and said.

"Doesn't care about this?" Ethan asked, glancing at the mech that had fallen to the ground.

"That can't be helped? I can't do it myself, so I'll have to wait for them to come to work. Anna said nonchalantly.

Ethan followed Anna to the fourth workshop of the smelting room, which was much smaller than the others.

"Here, you take this hammer." Anna removed a hammer from a nearby tool shelf, which glowed pale blue and was made of unusual material.

"Try to inject energy into it, eh...... Supernatural power. Anna said.

"Infused with mana?" Ethan was puzzled, he had never tried to do this. The mana in his body is like the air around him, which can only be felt and used when he breathes. Don't you want to control the air and let them enter your chest cavity on your own, right?

"This thing is better than me in your system warriors, I don't know much about these, I'm just here to teach you forging techniques, I can't teach you anything else!" Anna said helplessly, wouldn't it be too funny to ask an ordinary person how to inject mana?

"Infuse mana......" Ethan muttered under his breath, then tried to recall the power that emerged from within his body when he cast the wings of the Swift and the silver raid.

"Zizi" Ethan thought about the feeling at that time, and the hammer in his hand suddenly sizzled, and the blue arc of light jumped and flowed on the hammer surface.

"Succeeded? So fast? "I just wanted to say that Ethan would be able to figure it out by himself for a while, so that he could solve the problem of lunch by himself, but I didn't expect him to succeed so quickly, and he was simply self-taught.

"Alright then, you can hammer this ingot into a bar." Anna said.

In modern forging processes, the vast majority of processes and steps have been replaced by more powerful and precise machines. However, the exception is the system warrior, in order to create equipment that is recognized by the system, it is necessary to attach the mana in the system warrior's body, and use this mysterious power to forge weapons and armor. Not only is the equipment thus created stronger than the equipment forged by the machine, but some of the equipment may also have special effects attached to it, which will affect the system warriors equipped with it.

In addition, all kinds of professions concurrently held by system warriors, such as healers, mechanics, prop masters, cooks, etc., are also the same, and they need to rely on the unique mana in the system warrior's body to create equipment and props.

After the "bell" Ethan hammered down the first hammer, the system also appeared in due time.

"+1 Forge Proficiency and get a new class: Smith Apprentice."

"Acquire skill: [Primary Forging], which is capable of processing conventional materials. Additional effects on the finished product: None"
