Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 12: Rich Loot

With the bald head dead, Su Lun began to pack his spoils.

The mechanical arm on this guy's right arm had been badly damaged in previous battles, and the barrel, gas valve, high-pressure pipes, etc. had all been cut.

However, this does not prevent Su Lun from researching this black steam technology.

He stripped the memory of the bald head just now, and some basic "steam machinery knowledge" has been added to his mind. From this point of view, he also roughly understands the structure of this mechanical arm.

"The technology tree of this world seems to be a little crooked, a combination of alchemy + steam power."

Su Lun looked at the runes engraved on the mechanical arm and fell into thought.

Pure metal materials cannot support such a complex structure, especially the ultra-high pressure steam cannon. These mysterious alchemical runes are the factors that played a very important role in the stability of the structure.

However, his mechanical knowledge is still very limited, and he cannot understand the principles of these inscriptions and enchantments for the time being.

Without looking too much, Su Lun began to search for other equipment on the bald head.

Unfortunately, except for the dagger just now, almost everything on the body was damaged, and the musket was also cut into several sections, with half of the handle still in the holster.

Su Lun couldn't help being a little disappointed. He didn't find the supplies he wanted, and he wondered, "That's it? Don't these guys go out with food?"

Just when doubts appeared in his mind, suddenly, he saw three black gemstone rings in the bald man's hand.

Su Lun felt that if he remembered correctly, one of them was peeled off the finger of the dead cockscomb-headed man with his bald head.

Taking a closer look, the "Pupil of Omniscience" immediately responded to the message.

[Inferior Space Ring]

Detailed explanation: a storage ring with a secondary space of 1/2 cubic meter.

"Space equipment?"

When Su Lun saw this, he showed such an expression.

In this barren underground, water and food should be more important than weapons. These guys don't even have water bottles on them, which is abnormal.

He peeled off a storage ring and put it on his finger. As soon as he thought about it, he suddenly saw that the "black gem" on the storage ring was a folding space.

The space of about half a cubic meter is densely packed with all kinds of bottles and jars.

Red, green and green, row by row, looks like potions.

Su Lun casually took out a red test tube of potion, and used the "Pupil of Omniscience" to identify it.

[Inferior healing potion (oral)]

Detailed Explanation: Quickly stop bleeding and accelerate wound healing; although there are impurities, fortunately there are no side effects.

Then I looked at a blue one, which restores dark spiritual power.

Then there are some high-level potions with inscriptions on the test tubes, the quantity is very small.

"Sure enough, emergency medicine is a necessary substance for adventure. I probably won't die now."

Su Lun was overjoyed.

Just a second ago, he was still worried about the lack of necessary medicine, and the wound on his body would become infected and inflamed, bringing him an unpredictable and fatal threat.

Seeing these potions now, he immediately opened an intermediate healing potion and drank it. The wound was cleaned with a topical disinfectant.

Without the "Pupil of All Knowledge", Su Lun felt that even if he saw these potions, he would not know that these test tubes contained life-saving potions.

Of course, there is also poison.

Now it seems that this innate ability is really a perfect match for him as a time traveler.

It was amazing that after Su Lun took the medicine, he suddenly felt the wounds on the palms of his hands itchy. He knew very well that it was a sign of accelerated cell division and wound tissue was healing.

But under normal circumstances, this healing feeling will not be obvious until several days after the wound appears.

"It's such a miraculous potion. It's like a life-saving medicine in surgery."

Su Lun's current vision allowed him to clearly see that his wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It seems that it will be fully restored in less than half an hour.

However, he immediately muttered: "It seems that using an 'intermediate potion' for this kind of injury is a bit of a waste."

It seems that the super powerful effect of the "intermediate healing potion" should be used to treat more fatal injuries. For the injury of the palm, inferior medicine seems to be enough.

But Su Lun didn't feel sorry for using it on himself.

In the second storage ring, Su Lun found the food and water he wanted, but it seemed very unpalatable.

The food is black bread that is as hard as a brick, and the water is not that clear and transparent.

If it hadn't been identified as [inferior drinking water], Su Lun really didn't think that the faint black unknown liquid could be drinking water.

Not in a hurry to eat, Su Lun checked the last storage ring, which was obviously a weapon.

There are two punk-style pistols and a short-barreled shotgun.

Then there are dense bullets and some replacement parts for the robotic arm.

Guns are good guns, and bullets are not all simple gunpowder bullets.

After the identification, Su Lun found that among the ordinary bullets, there were also some special bullets with magic patterns inscribed on the bullet head, [Alchemy Bullet (High Explosive)], [Alchemy Bullet (Armor Piercing)], [Alchemy Bullet (Destroying Demon)].

There are not many, but they all look very powerful.

There was no other food in the last storage ring. Su Lun had no choice. The low blood sugar had already made him a little dizzy. He picked up the black bread and gnawed a few mouthfuls, then poured a few mouthfuls of water with a slightly strange taste.

While eating, he was also very strange.

Judging from the equipment carried by the bald head, muskets, bullets, etc. are all well-made, and the industry in this world should be very developed. But the food is a bit horrible.

"Could it be that the living environment of those guys can't even guarantee basic clean drinking water and food?"

It was difficult for Su Lun, who had traveled through time, to understand why these guys could have such excellent equipment, but they didn't have a pot of clean drinking water.

He vaguely guessed that the living conditions in this world might be very harsh.

Su Lun was sitting next to the bald corpse and eating. He also watched the physical characteristics of the living person on the corpse gradually dissipate, the skin turned white, and the body temperature gradually passed away.

And while he was still counting the storage or things, he suddenly found two glowing objects on the bald body.

A palm-sized blue scale armor slowly condensed from the skin of the corpse; the other is a dark red strip that looks like a muscle fiber bundle.

After appraising it, it was two more special items.

【Diamond Scale Armor (broken)】

Detailed Explanation: You may be able to extract some useful extraordinary materials from the damaged alchemy equipment;

[Cursed Object: Strong Magical Muscle (Damaged)]

Detailed Explanation: The inaugural material of the Warlock Power Department "Iron Warrior"; some curse features are missing, and the curse runes need to be redrawn to be used;

"This is the scale armor that was invulnerable before the bald head? It turned out to be a similar piece of equipment."

Su Lun suddenly felt amazing, what kind of existence this kind of thing really is. It can become a tattoo covering the body, and it can be activated by the magic circle to turn it into a real thing. Now that it is dead, it has been peeled off.

The "alchemy" that frequently appeared in the pupil of omniscience really made him more and more curious.

And after the "magic muscle" was stripped from the corpse, the naked eye of the bald corpse shrunk by a large circle.

Su Lun also understood something, and suddenly said in his heart: "So the 'employment materials' are used in this way to be directly integrated into the body to increase the physical attributes?"

He immediately thought that he also had a "Puppet Master" inauguration material in his hand, which could greatly improve his agility and skills after inauguration.

Now it seems that the "magic muscle" of the bald head is the root cause of his exaggerated strength!

but

Even after knowing the principle, Su Lun found that he still didn't know how to "take office".

Barely filling his stomach, Su Lun almost counted most of the supplies for the bald head storage ring.

It's not that he doesn't want to find out everything, but that the "Pupil of All Knowing" appraisal item is not free.

Identification requires consumption of dark spirit power.

The higher the item, the more it consumes.

There are only a few dozen points of dark spiritual power in his body left for backup, even if he drinks the recovery potion, it will take several hours to fully recover.

Anyway, the urgently needed medicine and water have been found, and there is no hurry to know what is the use of the remaining things.

Suellen loaded the two muskets with bullets.

One was filled with ordinary bullets, the other was filled with special alchemy bullets, and then pinned to the waist.

He planned to leave here first, find a human city, and learn about the situation in this world.

Before leaving, looking at the bald corpse and the barren manor, Su Lun suddenly had another doubt in his heart.

"It stands to reason that the original owner came to look for the ruins. Why did this bald man kidnap the original owner? Did he come here specifically to follow, or did his teammates act maliciously temporarily?"

Su Lun felt that the former was more likely.

No matter how stupid the original owner was, he probably wouldn't share such an important "Baron Isaac's Treasure" with others. And even if he was looking for a teammate, he probably wouldn't look for a "gang" like Baldhead who was capable of making money and killing someone at any time.

Judging from the information left on the retina, the identity of the original owner should be very sensitive, as if he was the exiled heir of a certain big family.

When these conditions are combined, it is very intriguing.

"First of all, in such a remote place, the chance of chance encounters is very low. And judging from the question of the bald head's previous interrogation, they didn't know the existence of the treasure before, nor did they know the true identity of the original owner. Therefore, they came for a very different purpose. To be simple is to kill and silence!"

"And the reason why I didn't do it right away may be that the bald head greedily coveted the secrets of the original owner, so I followed all the way here."

"If you don't know each other, there will be no old enemies. Therefore, there is a high probability of 'buying murder to kill'."

Su Lun connected the limited information in his mind and roughly restored the truth of the matter.

He speculated in his heart: "That means, where the original owner came, someone wants his life? If I go back, maybe I will be assassinated again?"

Thinking of this, he frowned slightly, this is not good news.

It also means that even if he returns to the city where the original owner came from, he cannot reveal his identity.

Otherwise, it may lead to death.

"This is a bit embarrassing for me"

Su Lun thought of something, and muttered, "Such a handsome face is highly recognizable."

Thanks to 'Bauhinia Yuming' and 'Revelation to the Night' for their great support, thank you~
