Like G.S.D who had his own slayer venue and Pungjin who had his dojo, Kiri had her own residence and workshop.

Like the gunners, Siri also came from Empyrean. One piece of technology from the extremely-advanced Empyrean brought great transformations for almost all adventurers of Arad—the Reinforcer from Empyrean.

The machine probably used advanced technology to refine equipment again and make them sharper. Or, perhaps it used the combination of technology and magic to reprocess equipment items with the powerful and mysterious Empyrean system. Either way, the machine could do wonders. After the reinforcement process of the machine, even an old, rusty weapon could be turned into a sharp blade that could kill without being stained by blood. 

- In a corner of the shop -

"Look! This is the place!" On the screen, a tall, black-clothed male priest walked into the workshop with a female priest who wore black priest clothes and carried a huge sickle. 

The most eye-catching thing in the workshop was a huge strangely-shaped machine. When it worked, pale-green magic light flowed inside, and one could even see liquid-like magic energy moving through the transparent tubes.

"This is the place!" 

"h.e.l.lo! I'm Kiri!" The person operating the machine was a straightforward woman who was about 25 years old. With her hair pulled up casually to the back of her head, she wore a long blue robe with white edges.

The avenger wearing a big black cloak looked impatient since he didn't care about what her name was.

Of course, he didn't know that this name would be imprinted deeply in his mind. It could be that this name would be engraved on his bones.

"I want to reinforce this weapon. What should I do?" The avenger asked.

"It's simple." The woman showed him how to operate the machine with a kind-heart.

The reinforcer was easy to operate. The players only had to put the equipment that needed reinforcing into the reaction chamber, and the machine would do the rest automatically.

"It's actually so convenient?!" In a corner of the shop, a figure engulfed by a black cloak sounded astonished.

"This game is full of pleasant surprises!" He took out an elegantly-shaped big sickle from his back and put it into the machine. "This level 25 sickle cost me many gold coins when I bought it from that merchant, and it hasn't seen blood yet. I wonder how far it can be reinforced."

At this stage, the players had rarely encountered purple items and couldn't buy them even if they had money. Right now, they could only use blue weapons.

Remembering the scene where the swordmaster instantly killed many monsters, he rubbed his hands with antic.i.p.ation. "With the aid of this method, I'll certainly reach level 30 today!"

"That little girl only reinforced her weapon eight times and achieved such a great performance." The mistress beside him said, "We'll reinforce it 18 times."

"Good idea!" He reinforced it once again eagerly.

Soon, the machine spat out the sickle, and they saw a faint layer of light emit from the weapon.

"From the looks of it, the sickle has greater power than before!" The uncle-like avenger chuckled. "Let's do it a few more times!"

With that said, he paid gold coins swiftly and put the weapon into the machine again, pressing the [Start] b.u.t.ton.

They heard the rumbling noises of the machine while it operated.

The second reinforcement was successful.

The third reinforcement was successful.

The fourth…

The fifth…

The sixth…

Looking at the sickle which had turned from dim to radiant with mystical magic light, they clicked their tongues with wonder.

"Indeed," He exclaimed, "The weapon got more than just sharper; I feel like the magic power in my body increases when I use this weapon."

"Excellent!" Holding her sickle, the mistress said in a low voice, "Then, I'll have a try as well."

"Again!"

"Fortunately, I've brought many golden coins with me. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough." After paying more golden coins, he began the seventh reinforcement.

The seventh reinforcement was successful.

"Again!" He watched the sickle in his hand emit a series of strange and radiant magic light.

The eighth reinforcement was successful.

On the game interface, the properties of this sickle got better, and its power grew with each reinforcement

The avenger chuckled and said, "This is a good thing. I wonder if this machine can reinforce spiritual artifacts."

"It's said that this machine came from the city above the sky," the other said, "This little girl doesn't look like an immortal, but this thing called 'Reinforcer' is amazing."

"Again!" He touched his pocket. "Ugh… I saved a lot of golden coins. How come I've used them up already?"

Nonplussed, he said, "Loan me some coins so that I can finish the last reinforce."

"The number nine is the extreme among single digits," the female priest said, "It reflects our status. I'll let you finish the reinforce first."

The uncle-like black figure dug out all the coins from his pocket and borrowed some from the mistress. After paying, he put the sickle that was sparkling with radiant magic light into the machine again.

Hearing the rumbling sounds in the machine, he waited expectantly.

"This machine is amazing," he lamented, "We can put anything in it, and it makes no mistakes."

The moment he said it, a shattering sound came from the reaction chamber.

Crack!

Then, the Reinforcer spat out a few colorless small crystals and some black fragments.

"!!??" The two stared at the machine dazedly, and the black cloaks concealed their expressions.

After a long pause, a voice sounded, "De… Destroyed?!"

To get the level 9 reinforcement, I had put in all my money, and you give me this?!

"What… what does it mean?!" pointing at the Reinforcer, he demanded in a loud voice.

The girl named Kiri walked over and glanced at it. "Auch. It seems that the Reinforcer ran into issues; your item was shattered…"

She forced a laugh, "After all, it received some damage when I took it from the Empyrean, and occasional mistakes do happen. Hahahaha…"

"…"

In the next instant, huge cracking sounds came from the house. "Furious Grab!"

"Shadow Render!"

"No one can dodge my bullets~"

Then two screams sounded…

Soon, two players appeared outside the door of Kiri's shop with dark expressions, shouting, "We are buying gold coins and purple sickles!" 

[Level 5 reinforcement.]

[Level 6 reinforcement.]

[Level 7 reinforcement.]

[The reinforcement failed.]

A prompt on the game interface showed, [The reinforcement effect on your weapon is reset.]

"!!??" They exchanged a look of bafflement.

Outside Kiri's shop, they yelled, "We are buying gold coins!"

[Level 6 reinforcement.]

[Level 7 reinforcement.]

[Level 8 reinforcement.]

[The reinforcement failed.]

"…"

Outside Kiri's shop, the two squatted on the ground and yelled listlessly, "We are buying gold coins! Trading Black Diamond Members.h.i.+p for gold coins!"

They glanced at the time. "No! It's noon now!"

They had come into the shop early in the morning, and now it was noon, which meant that they would have to get offline in about two hours.
