He had crossed over, so this was no longer a game where you could revive after dying. Brian Carter opened his spatial bracelet again, hoping to find a few weapons inside that he could use for self-defense.

Brian Carter reached out to grab the Star Extinguisher, but a current-like force surged from the weapon into his hand, instantly bouncing his palm away. The number one attack artifact he used to pick up with ease now refused to be lifted.

“What’s going on?” Brian Carter stared at the Star Extinguisher in shock. This was the first time he had encountered something like this, such a real sensation.

Why couldn’t he pick it up? Brian Carter reached for the Star Extinguisher again, but this time the current was even stronger, flinging his hand high out of the spatial bracelet.

“How could this happen?”

Unconvinced, Brian Carter tried to grab the Star Extinguisher again, only to have his palm shocked away once more.

“Can’t pick it up?”

Brian Carter’s eyes lit up as he finally found other weapons: a sword and a staff.

The Martial Sovereign Emperor Blade! The weapon said to have the highest attack power among sub-artifacts in legend was actually in this spatial bracelet! Brian Carter couldn’t help but feel another surge of excitement and hurried to grab the hilt.

A current no weaker than the one from the Star Extinguisher surged out, bouncing Brian Carter’s hand away again.

“What the...?”

Brian Carter shook his right hand, which was numb from the shock, and could only turn his attention to the nameless staff he didn’t recognize.

Zap—a current surged out.

“Still not working?” Brian Carter frowned slightly. Inside the huge spatial bracelet were rare martial arts manuals, magic beast crystal cores, magic scrolls, dragon crystals, dragon bones, forbidden magic scrolls—none of which were suitable for him to use right now.

After searching carefully once more, Brian Carter shook his head with a bitter smile. The only thing in the entire spatial bracelet that might be used for self-defense was the Crimson Flame Fire Fox Ring he had crafted not long ago.

“At least it’s a piece of magical equipment.” Brian Carter reached out helplessly to touch the ring. This time, there was no current backlash; he easily slipped it on.

It was truly pitiful—not only could he not use the number one divine weapon, the Star Extinguisher, but even the clothes he wore: the number one warrior outfit in the magical world, the Xuantian Battle Garb! The warrior belt at his waist, the number one warrior belt in the magical world, “Coiling Dragon.” The Shocking Heaven Ring, the Spirit Shattering Necklace! All of them had returned to the spatial bracelet.

“I wonder if the Alchemy King’s Soulfire is still here?”

Brian Carter muttered softly, and the purple Alchemy King’s Soulfire appeared again. The flickering flame had no warmth at all, as if it were just an illusory light and shadow.

Looking at the purple Alchemy King’s Soulfire before him, Brian Carter shook his head and laughed again.

It was hard to imagine that after crossing over, even though he had lost the super-expert power to kill a hundred thousand with a wave or wipe out an army with a stomp in the game, he could still bring so many things from the game with him. Especially this Alchemy King’s Soulfire.

It was the unique secret skill of the number one expert in the online game! A reward for completing a super quest, the Alchemy King’s Soulfire in the game could be used to fuse equipment and materials. As his cultivation deepened, the equipment he crafted became more advanced.

Becoming the number one expert in the game was no easy feat. This Alchemy King’s Soulfire could be called the secret weapon of the top player. While others were busy hunting bosses for suitable weapons,

the number one expert was constantly killing magical beasts to obtain magic crystals and dragon crystals. Then, using his Alchemy King’s Soulfire, he would fuse magic crystals with some low-quality equipment to create gear with excellent abilities. That’s why, when Brian Carter opened the top player’s spatial bracelet, he found it filled with magic crystals, dragon crystals, and a pile of magical beast hearts—also called magic cores—that could fetch a good price at the shop.

Someone who could forge equipment with the Alchemy King’s Soulfire could at the very least easily become a wealthy player in the game, and becoming the number one expert was much, much easier than for others.

Brian Carter looked at the ring on his right index finger and let out a long breath. He still remembered the attributes of this item he had casually crafted in the game with junk equipment after buying the top player’s ID: Crimson Flame Fire Fox Ring, halves the freeze time of all human-level tier five and below ice magic. Magic +10, instant-cast human-level tier one Fireball Spell, ten times per day, no level restriction for wearing.

Brian Carter never expected that after crossing over, he would bring this with him too. The ring on his hand, which could cast ten Fireball Spells a day, was something he had made out of boredom in the game, and now it had become his life-saving talisman.

“Alright.” Brian Carter let out a long breath to comfort himself. “As long as I have this Alchemy King’s Soulfire, if I can find some ordinary scrap metal, I can forge some defensive gear.”

In the dark forest, the howls of wolves echoed again from afar. Brian Carter looked up at the stars in the sky and said helplessly, “Let’s just head north! Hopefully this is north...”
