CHAPTER 146: CHAPTER 146 THE GOLDEN CAULDRON

Kane looked at the introduction of the skill in his hand.

Seeing that he could freely create items, Kane couldn’t help but feel excited, until he saw the remarks later, and his excitement was like being doused with cold water.

This skill is difficult to use without certain professional knowledge.

Kane first placed it onto his skill grid.

Then he began to sense the sudden emergence of knowledge in his mind; "Fast Reading" had not yet been removed from his skill grid.

His brain started to operate swiftly and helped Kane quickly understand this knowledge.

In just a short while.

Kane opened his eyes, stretched out his hands and embraced the air; waves of magic power surged from his hands.

After surging from his hands, the magic power began to swirl in the air and gradually constructed a golden yellow cauldron.

Everyone saw Kane had drawn out a new skill and was experimenting; they gathered around with curious expressions.

Kane looked at the cauldron in his arms, and held it for inspection.

There were some patterns on the cauldron that Kane didn’t understand, but from their manifestation, they were very orderly.

After inspecting the golden cauldron, Kane suddenly asked Longbei opposite him, "Do you have iron ingots or ores?"

After all, only Longbei among them might carry such things.

Upon hearing Kane’s question, Longbei didn’t ask more, knowing he might want to test the skill.

He started rummaging through his space equipment and soon handed two iron ingots to Kane.

Although he wasn’t as fond of forging as other dwarves, he liked minerals just like most dwarves.

Kane placed the iron ingots into the golden cauldron, closed his eyes, and let go of noisy thoughts as he slowly conceptualized an iron sword in his mind.

Magic power gently surged from his hands into the cauldron, and the iron blocks followed the flow of magic power, turning into a liquid mass slowly condensing in the cauldron.

Handle, sword grip, and finally, the broad sword blade.

A giant sword gradually condensed, its size surpassing the volume of the cauldron, but the cauldron’s space seemed larger than expected.

This skill carries some space attributes.

But thinking of it, as this is an alchemist’s created skill, it’s reasonable.

When the giant sword was fully condensed, Kane opened his eyes; it was quite a consumption of magic power.

Just this iron sword consumed almost 1/5 of Kane’s magic power.

Looking at the golden cauldron in his hands, Kane reached in and pulled out a long giant sword.

This giant sword had an extremely impractical shape, but he couldn’t deny it looked somewhat stylish.

He swung it a few times before handing it to Longbei beside him, whose eyes glittered with desire.

If enthusiasts were here, they’d recognize this sword’s shape; it was Frost’s Sorrow.

Longbei held the giant sword above his head, swung it a few times, and then hugged it as he tapped here and there, carefully inspecting its forging method.

"Although not a master’s work, it’s undeniably a well-crafted weapon."

Longbei wasn’t as skilled in forging as other dwarves, but as a dwarf, he had discerning eyes.

"Even a precise creation like this would take a half-day with a dwarf using the Mechanical Association’s tools, yet your skill requires only a short while. I’m starting to wonder if you’re..."

Kane immediately interrupted Longbei’s next words.

Kane calmly replied, "Can only craft ordinary weapons without any magic attributes."

"Oh, that’s fine then."

With that, he returned the giant sword to Kane and sat back in his original position.

After all, if it can only create ordinary equipment, there’s not much use. Judging by Kane’s expression and what they sensed earlier, this skill consumes quite a bit of magic power.

Magic equipment produced from the mist and various blacksmiths’ crafted magic equipment provide attribute bonuses and material enhancements that are a dimensional blow to equipment made from ordinary minerals.

Kane pondered for a moment and stuffed the giant sword back into the golden cauldron, then closed his eyes to continue conceptualizing.

This time, a large amount of magic power surged into the golden cauldron, and the cauldron’s giant sword instantly turned to molten iron.

The molten iron started to condense, but at a much slower pace than the giant sword, and its structure, compared to the giant sword, became much more complex.

This time, the magic power consumption was three times that of condensing the giant sword; Kane’s inner magic power was nearly exhausted.

Opening his eyes, he reached into the golden cauldron again.

This time, he pulled out a purely mechanical launcher larger than a handgun but reminiscent of one.

Naturally, the bullets fired weren’t very powerful.

Kane’s goal wasn’t to truly craft such a weapon, but to see if the golden cauldron could create complex mechanical devices he envisioned.

The result was evident, but the magic power consumption was heavy.

Currently, the skill doesn’t show much use; it’s only waiting until he becomes a Silver-level explorer to see if he can upgrade the skill to produce magic items.

After all, the introduction stated it was specifically invented by alchemists to help them create tools; it couldn’t possibly not produce magic items, so the only possibility is that the skill level is too low now.

Kane is optimistic about the skill’s future prospects.

He dragged the skill stone into the Book of Adventure’s warehouse.

Just as he was about to place it in, Kane’s hand suddenly paused and flipped to the page with the origin skill grid and switched the skill stone.

[Name: Transparent Play-Doh]

[Enhancement Grid 1: Material Alteration - Steel] (Hardness enhancement, magic power consumption reduction)

[Enhancement Grid 2: Golden Cauldron] (Expends a large amount of magic power, allowing the crafted magic creation to exist permanently.)

Seeing this skill introduction, Kane’s mood instantly surged with excitement because it didn’t say it couldn’t create items with magic attributes.

Calm down, calm down, take a deep breath.

First, try the effect, lest he get another cold splash.

He first took out a bottle of Blue Potion and drank it.

Initially preparing to leave, Kreya and the others saw Kane drink a bottle of Blue Potion and immediately became intrigued, sitting back down.

From Kane’s expression, they could feel he was about to pull a new trick for them.

The magic recovery potion specially tailored for Kane’s constitution quickly refilled his empty magic power.

Magic power surged from his hands, and the transparent Play-Doh began to slowly transform under Kane’s will.

A transparent chainsaw sword with gears was constructed by Kane, and then magic circuits were constructed within.

He took a deep breath, and magic power began to flood into the transparent creation.

Afraid his magic power wouldn’t suffice, Kane didn’t use hardening, but kept the Play-Doh at a relatively stable hardness.

A white object, similar to a short sword, started to slowly take shape in Kane’s hands.

Kreya and the others watched intently, afraid of missing any part of the situation.

Kane’s magic power had been completely depleted and was now consuming the magic power in the magic power reserve.

Finally, as the magic library neared exhaustion, the chainsaw sword in Kane’s hands was completely crafted.
