Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?-Chapter 40 - Set Equipment

*Yawn~

Waking up, Shiro rubbed her eyes as she unfroze her cast. Moving her arms a little, she smiled feeling no pain.

With her weakened debuff removed, her HP shot all the way back up to 34k.

"Little Yin, this miss has fully recovered." Shiro grinned as she tapped Yin on the head.

Yin's body shook a little as it groggily got up. Flapping its wings, it landed on Shiro's head and proceeded to sleep again.

"Heh, lazy head." Shiro muttered as she stood up. Dressing carefully as to not disturb Yin too much, she walked over to Lyrica's room and knocked on the door.

"Coming~" A tired voice rang out as Shiro sighed in relief.

Lyrica opened the door with a serious case of bed hair and dark circles under her eyes.

"Oh it's you Shiro. Want to come in?" She asked.

Shiro nodded as she sat on a chair.

[So was the Dungeon run successful?] Shiro asked.

"Half and half. I gave up just before the final boss fight." Lyrica said as she laid her body on the bed.

[Why's that?] Shiro asked.

"Because I struggled a little too much with the second boss. The final boss is and always will be harder than the other two bosses. But since I struggled so much with the second boss, I doubted that I would defeat the last boss." Lyrica said snuggling into her bed covers.

"But hey. I levelled up twice which is pretty good. Since I knew I couldn't focus on the last boss, I aimed to kill as many mobs as I could." Lyrica smiled.

[Just so that I know, how long did you spend in killing the mobs?]

"Ehh..2 days? Something like that."

'2 days? She spent two days killing none stop huh?' Shiro thought as she patted Lyrica on the head.

[Good work.] Shiro smiled since Lyrica was able to gain another 2 levels, thus bringing her up to level 19.

"Ah, your arm is fixed." Lyrica was surprised seeing Shiro use her right arm.

[Yep. My arm is entirely fixed now.] Shiro smiled as she flexed her arm a little.

"Congratulations." Lyrica smiled.

[Want to hit up a dungeon later then? I'll take you to a dungeon and serve as back up. You try solo most of it how's that?]

"Sure." Lyrica nodded as she planted her face into the cover.

[I'm going out for a bit. I'll text you when we're hitting up the dungeon.]

"Sure. See you later." Lyrica waved her hand slightly as Shiro only chuckled.

Walking out the room, she headed downstairs.

"Ah Shiro. Your arm is healed?!" The receptionist called out in shock.

[Yes. It's recovered completely.] Shiro nodded.

"Hmm, wait here. I'll have Doctor Hoffman check it just in case there is anything else wrong with your arm ok? It was hurt pretty badly last time." She said.

Shiro only sighed slightly as she knew she wasn't getting out of the dorm without being checked up first.

Sitting by one of the spare stools, Shiro waited for Doctor Hoffman to arrive.

Once again, Shiro didn't have to wait long for Doctor Hoffman to arrive.

"Oh. Don't you look energetic considering the amount of damage on your arm." He said scratching the back of his head.

Putting down his bag, he pulled out a tablet and scanned her arm.

"Holy damn… it really is healed. Not a single mark of damage." Doctor Hoffman remarked as he looked at Shiro.

"What kind of crack did you take to heal up this well?"

[Crack?]

"Just slang for drug." He shrugged as he stood up.

[So how come you're able to come here so quickly?] Shiro asked as being the school healer means there are bound to be other people needing treatment.

"Because unlike everyone else, I can't just slap an HP potion in your mouth and call it a day." He said giving his neck a stretch.

[Isn't that a bit irresponsible?]

"Pft. In this age of magic and wizardry, I'm pretty sure slapping an almost all-powerful potion in anyone's mouth fixes them up real nice. The only responsibility for me is to give them the potion. As your strange injury. I can't just slap a potion in you since it didn't heal the arm. Therefore, I need to be responsible or else I'm pretty sure the principle will come rip me a new one." He shrugged.

Packing his bag up, Hoffman walked away.

'Weird but not necessarily incorrect.' Shiro thought. He wasn't wrong with the part about responsibility.

In this new age of magic, near-fatal injuries could just be fixed with a spell or a potion. Responsibility within this area of medicine was no longer a thing.

There were no assigning months upon months of medication for a small wound to be healed, nor was there a need for constant check-ups.

You're injured? Potion. Next patient please.

It was that simple.

Seeing that she was free to go, Shiro stood up and walked out the school premises.

Going through her checklist of things to do, she realised that there were only a few days left until the faction recruitment.

'If I take Lyrica to a level 15 to 20 dungeon, I should be able to get her to level up. Hopefully, all the way to level 20 or even 21 if we do her class up.' She thought.

Checking the time, she walked towards Helion's shop after seeing that it was almost 9am.

"Oh good morning Shiro. You checking up on the armour?" Helion asked as he yawned slightly.

[Yes. How's the progress so far?] Shiro smiled as she was the first customer of the day.

"I only got a single boot left to do. If you wait by the side I'll have it done in no time." Helion said, gesturing at one of the chairs.

Shiro nodded as she sat down.

"So your arm's fixed now? I was surprised seeing it all cast up and not healed with a potion or spell."

[The damage was mostly unhealable and had to be recovered naturally.] Shiro smiled.

"Is that so. Congratulations on healing then. Don't worry, I won't give you a discount." Helion said with a slight chuckle. He still remembered how Shiro didn't want any gifts or discounts the first time they met.

[Thanks.]

Pulling out his equipment, he started to make the final boot as Shiro played with Yin.

"Little Yin, you have so much mana but can't do sh*t with it. When can you actually pull your weight?" She muttered teasingly. Even though Yin was only level 5, his power just from his HP and MP alone could be compared to a level 20+.

Yin made a sad face as if Shiro had wronged him. Scooping up the mana stones, it stuffed them into its mouth with a silent tear.

Shiro giggled seeing Yin's behaviour when an idea struck her.

"Little Yin do you understand me?" Shiro asked.

Yin nodded its head as Shiro grinned.

"Are you a boy?"

Yin tilted her head in disdain and made a spitting motion.

"So you're a girl?" Shiro asked feeling happy Yin was a girl. Girls were more fun to look after, animal or not.

Yin nodded her head and flapped onto Shiro's shoulder.

Rubbing her head against Shiro's cheek, she wanted to gain more of Shiro's affection.

"I'll love you more if you could fight ah." Shiro said rubbing her head.

Not too long after, Helion had finished the boot as he brought out the other pieces. The moment the pieces came into close contact with each other, a slight silver purple glow encased each on as Shiro widened her eyes in surprise.

'He made set equipment?!'

Set equipments are as it says, worn in sets. With a certain amount of pieces worn, a bonus effect would be triggered as they could be anything ranging from extra points to one's stats or a set skill.

Set skills were outrageous skills since they needed equipment of the same set to be invoked.

'If I recycle this set armour, I'll be able to add the set skill to an armour I make in the future.' Shiro thought as this was a rare opportunity. It's not every day you see set equipment being made.

Especially if it was for a level 20. Even in her past life, the lowest level set equipment she saw was level 50. She didn't know if this was good or bad, but she knew it was an opportunity none the less.

"Well… I certainly didn't expect this." Helion muttered surprised by himself.

[Spider Queen's Set LVL 20 (blue)]

Head Piece

+10 INT

Torso Piece

+10 DEF

+10 STR

Arm Guards

+10 DEX

+10 STR

Waist Guard

+10 Def

+10 STR

Boots

+20 AGI

Each of the pieces was extremely mediocre on their own. However, the set truly shines when one looks at the set effects.

[Spider Queen Set Effects]

2 Piece - +10 to all status

4 Piece - + 20 to all status

5 Piece - + Previous points (30) to all status and Active skill [Empowered Rampage].

Empowered Rampage – Berserk Type Skill

+ Temporary Empowered Status

+20% attack speed

+20% power

Duration – 1 minute

Cool down – 5 minutes

After effect ends, -40 on all status.

Duration 2 minutes

The 2 and 4 piece effects didn't interest Shiro but the final advantage was outrageous. Shiro recognised that to be the same skill bosses could use.

A 20% attack speed and 20% power were no joke at higher levels. Even the -40 was something negligible.

"Shame this appeared on a level 20. If it was higher, I wouldn't even sell it." Helion lamented as skills no longer worked if a person was 5 levels higher.

'Hehehehe, this miss can recycle this and use the skill whenever ah.' Shiro grinned.

This was what truly makes her Nanomancer class thrive. While she could create weapons, they will and always be skillless blanks, except for the long ranged weapons.

With her skill recycle and reprint, she could effectively make the most insane weapon for a limited amount of time, whenever and wherever she wanted.

Hopping over to the equipment she looked at it with a smile that resembled that of a lecherous old man.

[How much?] Shiro asked.

"…600 thousand USD." Helion said after a pause. Considering the strength of this set, it can help someone clear their class advancement pretty easily. Therefore, the price would naturally be high.

Grabbing the crystal, Shiro transferred the money over without hesitation as this set was too precious. Not only for her, but for Lyrica as well.

It would take her a while before she can get Nano Tech Armour Creation. Therefore, in the time it takes, Lyrica can be using this set until level 25.

[Thanks.] Shiro said as she left the workshop with the armour in her inventory.

Helion could only wave goodbye as he lamented the armour not being higher level so he could use it.

*Ding

After walking out the store, Shiro had received a text message and opened her phone.

[Aarim: Shiro, your outfit has finished dyeing. As for the one for your friend, it'll take me a few more hours to finish.]

Tapping away on her phone, Shiro replied as such.

[Thank you. I'll come to collect it later today.]

Aarim only replied with an okay as Shiro walked towards a D ranked Dungeon.

It was the same Dungeon she fought against last time, the Frag Ant's Burrow.

But this time, she had more of a guarantee to kill the boss. Her arrows fired from the Nano Tech Bow housed an astounding amount of penetrative power.

So much in fact, that should she fire a fully charged arrow at the boss, she'll be able to shatter the mana shield.

Naturally, the best thing was for her to kill it straight away, before it could put up any form of defence.

After arriving at the Dungeon, she made sure no one saw her enter.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 1st Phantom – Illusionary Phantom.

Entering inside the Dungeon, she could already hear Frag Ants crawling towards her.

"This missy doesn't have time for you." She muttered as snow started to fall.

Stomping down, ice erupted outwards as it froze the entire area around her.

Walking towards the first boss, Shiro had no mobs obstruct her way since they were either frozen to death or had no way to reach her.

Seeing the familiar Bombard Frag Ant, Shiro created a Nano tech bow and drew back on the string.

Neon blue mana twisted into an arrow as it was notched and aimed towards the Bombard Frag Ant.

Charging up the arrow with a bit more mana, Shiro let the arrow fly.

*BOOM!!!!

The arrow crashed through the ant as it obliterated its body with ease.

"Heh, that Flying Frag Queen better watch her ass." Shiro grinned as she walked to the teleporter.
