On the second floor of the broken repair shop, Wang Shui leaned back in his comfortable chair, reviewing the alchemy primer floating in the air in front of him.

Behind him, more than a dozen thin pieces of iron swam in the air like fish.

The effect of [Spell Card: Deadly Blade (Green)] was far more powerful than he imagined, or rather, Wang Shui misestimated the power of [Secret Card].

Wang Shui originally thought that the secret card was like the dull skill icon in the game, and when activated, the corresponding skill would be released. But now it seems that it is not, the skills he unleashes through the secret card are completely controlled by him, and the feedback of various subtleties makes him addicted.

This is magic, a real magical experience.

Wang Shui became interested in magic, but he didn't have much time now, and tomorrow was the day of departure.

I didn't panic in particular, Wang Shui took the time to check on the Internet, and there were indeed many transportation tasks recently.

Although [Tiefeng City] is not the front line, it is also an important hub city very close to the front line, in addition to bulk supplies, some scattered transportation tasks that are not on the supply line fall on the head of the Awakened.

The transportation mission of [Rusty Sword Fortress] does exist, and it is true that only awakened people of less than the first order are allowed to enter the fortress, plus the distance of more than 300 kilometers is not far even if it is a detour, so there are still a lot of waves of mission completion, and a small number of casualties are negligible in the eyes of the combat department, which is much safer than the battlefield.

Wang Shui also confirmed that if you want to enter the Governor's Castle, you really need a Life Department Awakener, and Brother Hei didn't lie to him here.

Compared with the task information, there is another thing that makes Wang Shui a little ...... It's hard to describe your feelings.

In the past two days, he began to study alchemy in depth, and Wang Shui was immediately short of money, and he originally planned to sell the news that the protagonist of SAO was Kirito to the big man who mastered the sword world for some money, but only found a statement post on the forum.

The world of swords is gone.

Last time, that is, the branch fantasy world in which Wang Shui participated, the original plot length was about three to four years, and after the original plot evolved, the branch world would solidify into the nutrition of the fantasy main world.

The world under the real and huge mutations was successfully deduced without being destroyed, but when the fusion returned, the bosses got a new system prompt:

"The plot of the branch world is rationalized and mutated, the protagonist's information is replaced, whether to integrate the fantasy world with equal weight, 80% probability of getting a new fantasy world plot and knowing the protagonist's information, 20% probability of timeline fusion, and the fantasy world is permanently restarted and loses its permanent status."

The bigwigs who have been disgusted for a long time and can't find the protagonist look at this probability, so they naturally choose to fuse, and then, the sword world disappears.

Wang Shui didn't know what the timeline merged, and the meaning of permanent restart, he had long known that the branch world would collapse, and he was glad that the Shino he influenced had disappeared forever after being lost for a maximum of two years since SAO woke up, and now he really faced this news...... Alas.

It's just words and images that can build such a pitiful character. Wang Shui had mixed feelings, he didn't think about investing emotions in the characters in the fantasy world, and even had the arrogance of a high-dimensional creature at first.

The existence of Akihiko Kayaba and Shino left an indelible impression on him, they were so real, and their emotions and touches were no different from the real world, so that after Wang Shui left the SAO world, he didn't want to betray the information for a while.

Although he knew that they would disappear, when he saw the forum post, Wang Shui couldn't help but feel a little empty, thinking of his arrogance and playful mentality when he faced Shi Nai at the beginning, even if he was a scumbag, he would feel a little guilty.

Disappear, disappear with my traces.

The world over there disappeared, and Wang Shui said the words of burying memories, but his body was very honest:

In the alchemy array in the middle of the room, there was a super sword with a length of one and a half meters, the blade was 20 centimeters wide, and the blade was not sharp, so it looked very bulky.

This kind of cold weapon adapted to mobile armored combat, if the driver does not have extraordinary ability, will make it into a chainsaw sword or chainsaw axe or other forms to enhance the killing effect.

Wang Shui's big sword is obviously a pure blade created for transcendents to use their own abilities, but behind the sword grid, there is also an inexplicable circle of metal protrusions, and there are some faint holes on it.

That's right, [Blade Bullet System], Wang Shui reproduced it in reality.

The reproduction process is not particularly difficult, because there are many similar things in reality, and enhancing the enchantment effect of cold weapons has always been a long-lasting subject in the transcendent world, and there are many technologies that explode after being charged with blade bullets, and some old technologies can be found on the Internet with detailed information.

It was based on these materials that Wang Shui quickly made his [Blade Bullet System], which of course was very different from the original.

First of all, without the unreasonable stuff of sword skills, the charge will naturally become all kinds of energy; Secondly, the excitation effect of the blade bullet can't be pasted whatever you want with random data like in the game, and the excitation can only get the array effect that has been engraved.

Wang Shui has a relatively little knowledge of spells and magic, so he simply restored the effect, which can be regarded as a consolation to himself.

Wang Shui cared more about the iron pieces flying in the air than about weapons, and the power of this spell was much stronger than his small body sword.

If it's just an iron piece, Wang Shui can control a lot, but if he controls a flying knife made of [Silver Dragon Alloy], he can only fly two at most, and after he subsequently re-truncates and recasts the flying knife, this number can be increased to four, and the killing effect of one alloy flying knife is much higher than a dozen iron pieces.

In addition, Wang Shui is also consciously looking for a means to enhance the human body, but he has no money for the time being, and the method of strengthening the body is likely not to be immediate, so it is more reliable to play the spell at hand first.

Distracted and experiencing the sense of control of the mental force field, the time soon came to noon, Wang Shui looked at the time, and then went out in the continuous drizzle.

Along the main road of Artisan Street to the east, the surrounding houses gradually became taller and cleaner, and Wang Shui soon found his destination, which was a large alchemy workshop.

Walking into the supermarket-like hall, all kinds of alchemy items are lined up in encapsulated crystal display cases, and there are a dazzling array of them.

Wang Shui came directly to the shopping guide inside.

"There is an appointment, do the annihilation array."

"Hello guest, please verify your identity." In the face of Wang Shui's straightforwardness, the shopping guide did not say superfluous clichés.

The verification of the information was carried out by an instrument that detected the characteristics of the soul fluctuation, Wang Shui glanced at it, and the verification information completed the synchronization of the data of the two sides.

"Okay, the verification is complete, please go to the back marking room and wait for a while, our engager will be there shortly."

Wang Shui nodded, entered the back corridor under the guidance of another shopping guide, and was then led into a small room.

In the small room, there are warm lights, a surgical recliner similar to a dental treatment table in the middle, surrounded by some small instruments, which Wang Shui basically does not recognize.

Soon, the door to the room was opened again, and a female engraver who was only about one and a half meters tall walked in, although she looked young, the same dark gold six-pointed star badge on the outside of her dark gold robe indicated her identity - a high-level alchemist.

The three notches on it represent her outstanding ability, which is the certification standard of the alchemist group that Wang Shui only learned yesterday, and I want to ask what level is Wang Shui? He is not yet qualified to be evaluated as a junior level, and he still belongs to the wild road.

"It's better to take off your shirt and sit down at the engraving table, it will be soon."

The little body was immature, and there was an inexplicable confidence in his voice, and Wang Shui honestly showed his upper body and lay down.

"Have you engraved an array lately?"

"Nope."

When Wang Shui answered, the engraver's small hand patted Wang Shui's shoulder, and under the watchful eyes of Wang Shui's spiritual power, a complex set of alchemical energy integrated into his body, Wang Shui instantly felt a burst of weakness, and then lost control of his body below the neck, but the touch was still there.

"Uh, doctor, does it hurt?"

"Huh?" The little engraver was also suddenly a little amused, "The Awakened are still afraid of pain?" Hmm-it doesn't hurt, [Array Spell Body Deterioration] only temporarily blocks your control over your body, and there is still feedback that should be there, well, at most, there is a burning sensation. ”

"Oh, thank you."

"Heh, the new arrival in the E class? Not used to life now? ”

"Well, I'm from the Department of Life."

"Life Department, then you have to live well." The little engraver was not very interested in talking, and Wang Shui was not in the mood to chat in this state.

The engraving soon began, and under the energy projection, a three-dimensional array network was built in the air centered on aqua regia, and the little engraver did not say much or use spells, but kept replenishing the parameters.

Wang Shui could probably understand a little bit of the content, but the combination made him dizzy.

After a few minutes, the array shrank violently into the engraver's hand, condensing into a white ball of light. The engraver looked at the instruments around her, her gaze didn't even fall on Wang Shui, she just used her right hand to slowly press the ball of light into the middle of Wang Shui's chest and abdomen.

A fairly clear burning sensation came, and Wang Shuixia signaled to gather his spirit, observing the energy in his body being induced, and then he saw the wonder of his energy engraved in his body.

It was an alchemy he had never heard of.

Soon, the engraving was over, the burning sensation quickly subsided, and the little engraver mechanically said the doctor's order:

"After the [Array: Annihilation Cycle] is engraved, the transcendent energy will help you continue to strengthen the internal environment of your body, your lungs will have the effect of filtering most simple poisonous gases, and your stomach can digest nutrients by incineration, there will be basically no residue, and some ash will also be expelled from below when you ventilate.

Try not to eat anything other than the recipe, annihilating the stomach is not a panacea, reduce your diet in recent days. When taking the drug, remember to temporarily turn off the annihilation stomach, and the intestines will absorb the medicine efficiently. Yes, the anus is only used for ventilation at most after that, but I personally do not recommend that you abuse it for anything else.

Metabolic waste will be cleaned up, but it is still recommended to drink plenty of water, even if it is not discharged, the water will be consumed. The same goes for your epidermal cells, which you still need to bathe or cleanse by other means.

Your visceral muscles will grow significantly and your bones will be strengthened, and if further bioaugmentation is required, such as a network of plates, multiple alchemy hearts, blood augmentation, etc., you can visit our workshop's bio-alchemy page.

In the end, [Annihilation Cycle] is just an improvement method, the internal organs are indeed strengthened, but they are also much more fragile than bones and muscles, most parts are still critical, don't eat the damage, the array has the ability to automatically repair, you can contact our workshop if you have any problems in the future, and you are also welcome to use our other products. ”

After listening to the long doctor's instructions, Wang Shui, who had regained his ability to control his body, left under the urging gaze of the engraver.

Back in his second-floor bedroom, Wang Shui began to seriously examine his body, and he also made a biscuit to test his stomach.

The unchewed biscuit was no longer a clear tingling sensation when it crossed his throat, but rather a finger gripping sensation, and Aqua Wang felt his throat as tough as tanned leather.

The biscuit disappeared almost instantly when it was sent into his stomach, and Aqua regia didn't know if the nutrients had been absorbed, but he vaguely felt that he could control the strength and switch of the annihilation effect.

Now it's okay, I'm not afraid to eat, and I don't need to go to the toilet.

This is one of the three arrays in the group of the Awakened known as the Human Rights Trio, and the other two are the two bargains that Aqua regia had engraved before.

[Array Interaction] is a special array that interacts with the same source interface, similar to the network cable interface but much more complex.

[Array Computing Terminal] is a biological brain computer, which is a good assistant to run by borrowing the idle computing power of aqua regia, and the price of this is not high.

As for what Wang Shui has newly obtained, it is the internal enhancement array that the Awakened rely on to survive, which can greatly improve their ability to survive in various environments, and its functions are complex and powerful.

I got paid in advance, and the next thing is a tough battle.

Although Brother Hei said it easily, saying that the journey was very safe, Wang Shui always felt that there was a problem, and the more attentive Brother Hei was, the more tired he became, and he now deeply suspected that the two boxes he had transported were genuine.

On the whole, whether it is genuine or not does not have much effect on the degree of danger on the road, and Wang Shui always has to do his best to protect himself.

Tonight, Wang Shui no longer studied, but sorted out his equipment and consumables, and he took out one of the three large water storage tanks before, and the space of the awakened was instantly much more spacious.

Nothing was said all night.

……

……

The next morning, Wang Shui didn't go out until after eight o'clock, he didn't have much on him, but his steps were very heavy.

At the east gate of [Iron Frontier City], in the dark sky and fine rain, Wang Shui saw a tall truck, with the logo of [Dream System] painted on the white body, which looked like a circular pattern of a circuit board. There is also a small pattern in the back, which is a blurred figure in a circle.

Wang Shui saw it when he checked the information, and it was the group mark of the [Destruction Penumbra] hunting group.

It seemed that it was the truck, Wang Shui was surprised as he approached, why there were several people near the truck, there were two armored vehicles around, and even a guy was sitting cross-legged on the roof of the truck, looking up to accept the drizzle.

As Wang Shui approached, a tall, thin man in a hooded black coat greeted him.

"Why is it so slow? Hurry to the driver's seat of the truck. ”

Eh, Wang Shui looked confused, and the thin and tall man immediately threw a crystal texture card to Wang Shui after speaking, and at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

[You have obtained new mission information, and the Awakened One*** (Hidden) has launched a "Simple Material Transportation" mission to you, do you accept it?] 】

It's all here, accept it?

[You have accepted the new task, you can check it in the task information bar.] 】

The system is still as concise as ever, and Wang Shui opened the detailed description:

————

【Simple material transportation】

[Job No.: DP101AM00060013202-021]

[Mission Type: Awakened Initiated, Volunteer Mode]

[Mission Description: Deliver the items that triggered the mission to the "Rusty Sword Fortress" and hand them over to the consignee [Moon Penumbra Sylvia].] 】

[Reward: 100,000 Dream Points (Advanced)]

【Special Limited: None】

————

The name of the mission is very suspicious, but the content is really fine, although the system encourages the awakened to participate in the transportation of supplies, but most of the initiators of the mission are large companies and hunting groups, which Wang Shui has known for a long time.

But what about these people?

"What are you doing? Go to drive, the speed of the truck is limited, and we can't pass through the more than 300 kilometers in a straight line, hurry up and deliver it before noon tomorrow. ”

"Huh? We? Are you going with you? ”

The tall and thin man was also a little surprised:

"Or else? You haven't even reached the first order, can you transport goods of this value by yourself? Brother Hei didn't tell you? Your brain problem doesn't affect driving, does it? ”

"But Brother Hei said that only those below the first order can enter the fortress?"

"yes, so we don't go in? Just escort along the road, is there a problem? ”

Ah, Wang Shui admits that it is indeed his brain that has a problem.
