Chapter 22
15 hours.
15 hours of work before Jake passed out of exhaustion.
He started working again as soon as he woke up in the cultivation world. Even with another 4 hours of work he could only get started on the veins. He had made everything else, but carving the veins took a lot more time than he originally thought. It also took a lot of ki and mana as the material was very difficult to cut through, especially when only trying to engrave the flow and not the entire thing.
He went downstairs to sell again, but he didn't end up getting any customers for the first few hours. He sat in a metitive position and used his dimension skill. He was still at the desk so as long as he looked up every once in a while he would be fine. Over the day, he only sold a few swords and a bow so he was working the whole 12 hours. He walked up just before he finished. After a full 31 hours, he had finished.
[2000 Jewelry EXP gained]
[Jewelry Class Level Up]
He had gained all the experience from the first part, but most of it came rushing in when the full piece was officially recognised as complete.
A huge burst of energy burst out as the flame iron lit the slime and veins up. He was almost knocked back by the sheer power coming out of it. The red light faded slowly.

He had another near impossible decision to make. Creating gems was useful, but it was nothing money couldn't get. Giving weapon masteries was very difficult, and was a valuable skill that could make him a fortune. Unranked Jeweler had the potential to raise his combat power in the future. He wanted a choice, but he knew he had to pick unranked craftsmen. The other two just couldn't match up to its utility and power. He then checked his other rewards.

After not having made any big growth in days, this was a welcome addition. Limitless growth did not take up one of the gems, so he could easily transfer flame claws into it, giving it that skill as well. His ever first ring crumbled in his hand. Without the gem it didn't have the power to stay as an item. Fortunately, when it transferred into a gem so much larger than it it gained an extra level, making it a level two spell.
After a few days without any growth, this was a welcome change. He had just nearly doubled his magic and gained a level three skill. On top of that he gained a bunch of non-combat skills to help his crafting.
He got up when he realized he had to check the shipments before he could go to bed. He was eager for his classes the next day as he would meet a bunch of mages as well having a group session for teamwork. He checked the shipments, found nothing suspicious, put his new bracelet in as his inner accessory and went to bed happy with his day.
It was 6 am when he got up, and he opened the kitchen to see a humanoid skeleton, holding a knife right next to him. It was cooking. A skeleton was cooking him and his entire party plain omelets. Jaylen was looking at all of them and making sure they were doing everything correctly.
"Hey, you're up early. Would you mind waiting for a few minutes in the living room until I'm done?"
Jaylen had a cute high voice that matched her body. She was a tall blond elf with a gentle face and thin figure. It was kind of hard to believe that she was a black mage with a body like that. Not that there weren't hot black mages, but they tend to like being in control and had more curves. He went into the living room where only one other person was up.
