Next 'morning'…
[The corruption core seems to be even deeper underground, that's at least what following the veins had led me to…]
"So you weren't able to locate the rest of the 'rooms' as well?"
[humph! I did, you have to raise your expectations a bit more when you are talking about me. Well, every vein is close to another one as they are still surfacing from the same point even if the connection point is unknown]
"Oh! As expected of Long, you did a great job with this, how much rooms are there then?"
[Ten. it wasn't that hard anyway, humph…]
'Considering that number, I might be able to add an additional 50 crystals to every 'Firework'...'
"You did well anyway, thank you… oh, don't forget to transmit the locations of the 'rooms' to me later…"
[Alright, but no more tasks after that! I'm going to sleep in the ring after that, your points weren't even worth my effort…]
"I got it…"
With the scouting mission mostly done, I could finally start producing enchanted crystal 'Firework bits' at full power, but that also put me in a somewhat difficult situation.
'So the emergency exit door is impossible to access…'
With the accurate location of the corruption core still unknown, I couldn't just head to it and destroy it as soon as I set the 'Firework celebration' to start, activating the green crystal and escaping before the 'Cheering' reaches me, that was all impossible now.
Of course, I could still just drill in the location that the veins appeared in, but not only I wouldn't be faster than the 'Cheering' headed to core where all the 'rooms' interconnect' but I would also grab the attention of the demons around, resulting in a possibility of foiling my plan if the overseer was to act himself…
'I guess I will just use this opportunity to test my defensive prowess…'
With 'Unbound Vitality' boosting my confidence of surviving even if I came out of this with severe injuries, I decided to still go with this plan, which was the quickest and the most efficient of the ones I had in mind, having to watch the 'Fireworks' still wasn't something I wasn't able to do.
After all, I understood that the overseer was still being suspicious of me and had eyes all over the base, the longer I stayed here, the faster the situation could go more wrong than having to endure the after effects of my own invention…
Besides, this could truly be considered a good opportunity to test the limits of 'Unbound Vitality', even though I knew it would ensure my own survival of this 'Firework Celebration', I didn't know how good it would fare against such destructive method, who knew if would be struck by some other 'Fireworks' that aren't of my hand made.
After all, according to the 'Art of War', knowing yourself well is considered a very important factor.
Finally, while thinking about this matter, I finally finished engraving the 150th crystal with the 5 second timer, so I proceeded to take out a thin leather leftovers to complete the first chain 'Firework'.
After attaching the 150 crystals in pairs at the two sides of the leather belt, it started to look like something that would come out in these strange fashion shows, but as the way it looked didn't matter anyway, all that mattered was how much 'Cheering' would attract, I finally put in the last finishing touch, 'Elemental Agglomeration'!
Releasing a stream of elements that linked every crystal in the crystal belt with one another, the engravings inside of the crystals started to grow more deep as if to ascertain the fact that its effects were amplified.
'Elemental Agglomeration' was originally a method used to link several functions in a single artifact, but that was a very hard technique to use, however, instead of using it that way, I decided to link the 150 crystals that had the very same function together, thus amplifying its effects and increasing its accuracy!
Originally, that was just an experimental act, as I didn't know if it would really work that way as I was still a beginner when it came to enchanting, but the result was more than satisfying!
[ You have created the Special skill 'Enchanting'! ]
[ You have managed to create an artifact made out of 150 elemental engravings! ]
[ 'Enchanting' has leveled up! ]
[ 'Enchanting' has leveled up! ]
[ 'Enchanting' has leveled up! ]
[ 'Enchanting' has reached lv.4 ]
[ You have received the title 'Over-Enchanter'! ]
[ achievement 'Quantity over Quality' recorded. ]
[ 'Over-Enchanter'

'Alright, I guess I'm not that much of a beginner anymore…'
Thanks to the skill rising in an overbearing matter, I could already feel that my control when using 'Elemental Engraving' was more accurate, which resulted in the efficiency of my bulk-enchanting increasing as well.
Thanks to that, I could hasten the process of creating the other nine chain 'Fireworks', allowing me to start my 'Firework Celebration' a day or two earlier!

Three days later...
[ 'Enchanting' has leveled up! ]
[ 'Enchanting' has reached lv.6! ]
'Luckily, it didn't take too long…'
Remembering that it was already the seventh day since my arrival at the base, I could only sigh in relief that I finally managed to finish my ten sets of chain 'Fireworks'...
After all, for the whole six days I stayed here, the atmosphere was too calm, not the normal type of calm, but one that seemed more like 'the calm before the storm'...
I could only come to two conclusions, either the overseer already found out about my identity and is waiting for the right time to strike, or the first contact event was meant to bring about some serious changes.
In both cases, I couldn't afford to wait a second more so I planned to strike immediately!
Taking a quick look on the locations that Long has pinpointed for me, I calmed my heart's beating as I didn't plan to blow my cover over being nervous.
Choosing the time I usually went out for the 'Sacred room' to start my 'Firework celebration' event, I calmly walked toward my first target...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
