Chapter 1106: Starting Out
"...And done."
Tapping a few more times on the pauldrons with the Hammer of Beginnings, Valyr eventually nodded in satisfaction after getting a notification from the system that the upgrade was a
success.
Giving the pauldrons back to the man standing behind him, he went ahead and used his identification skill on it, telling the system to also bring up its stats from before the enhancement.

'I've basically doubled the performance of Eivann's equipment,' inwardly muttered Valyr to himself as he was reminded of all the other pieces of equipment he'd upgraded before this one.
Once Eivann eventually accepted Valyr's suggestion of having his equipment be upgraded for free, the two did not take long to arrive at one of the workshops, with Eivann even footing the bill during their stay.
Swiftly familiarizing himself with the layout, as well as the tools that were available in the workshop that was temporarily lent to him, Valyr decided to work as quickly as he could, asking the man to bring all of his equipment so he could upgrade all of them in one go.
From there, he was given a set of armor and a weapon that could be said to be decent for a Rank 4 class holder, with all of them at Rare+ grade and at Level 75.
Of course, if one were to take into consideration the fact that Eivann was already nearing the peak of Rank 5, then his current set of equipment did not match his level at all.
With that, Valyr took out the Hammer of Beginnings from his spatial bracelet before proceeding to enhance all of Eivann's equipment to match the man's current level.
At the same time, he asked him why his equipment didn't seem up to par to his current level of strength, to which the man replied that he did not have the merit points to ask a blacksmith to do it for him.
"Of course, we're talking about quality upgrades here," Eivann told him. "If it was just the basics, then even 10 to 20 merit points is more than enough to bring my equipment up to spec."
"But I haven't saved up enough to swap to a better set of equipment yet," continued the man, only to wryly smile soon after. "Hence, I planned on having a more skilled blacksmith do work on it so I could have it last longer."
"I wonder how they're doing?" Thinking about the time he and the others spent helping each other out back in the inheritance, the young man began to smile once more as he told them that he was now at the frontlines.
Unsurprisingly, with both of them being at the frontlines, Hal and Vera were the first ones to reply back to his message, telling him that they were excited to meet him at the battlefield.
After a bit more talking, the three of them confirmed that they'd meet up to do a small reunion in the near future, causing the young man to become a bit excited for what was to
come.
On the other hand, Loreina gave him a warmer message compared to the two, telling him to stay safe while he was out in the battlefield. After all, she'd seen the young man fight before
in the inheritance.
With a bit of back-and-forth questioning, the young man was eventually able to find out that she was also at the frontlines just like the others.
However, unlike the two, who were basically playing with their lives out in the battlefield, she remained at the rear lines as she utilized her skills as a tailor to the fullest.
Seeing as the three responded to him fairly quickly, Valyr could not help but have a satisfied
smile on his face.
However, the same could not be said for the last person that also joined them in the
inheritance.
"Faulus..." Muttering the man's name out as he arrived at the entrance to the main mission hall, a hint of concern appeared on Valyr's face as he thought about the conversation they had
back then before parting ways.
Letting out a low sigh as he briefly wondered what the man was doing, Valyr eventually pushed his current train of thought to the side as he finally entered the main mission hall.
Whoosh!
At the very moment he stepped foot into the hall, the young man was immediately greeted by a sight that reminded him of his past life. Watching a lot of people come and go through the mission hall as they grabbed a mission off the boards from time to time, the young man began to recall the days he would look around for easy missions to improve his rank as quickly as possible.
Faintly smiling at the thought, the young man soon made his way to one of the mission boards, only to find out that the mission boards were arranged according to one's rank. Finding the mission board that corresponded to his current rank of novice mercenary, the young man immediately came face to face with a board that was about three times as large as the other mission boards.
Taking in a deep breath after being slightly overwhelmed by the number of missions that were available for him to choose, Valyr was just about to choose a mission that he felt was
suitable as his first mission...
Only for someone to come up beside him all of a sudden and talk to him in a mocking tone.
"Heh... this is the first time I've seen your face around these parts." "I'm guessing you haven't taken Juba's combat readiness test yet?"
