Brian Carter comforted himself a little, then took out the steel knife he had recently obtained from a corpse from his spatial bracelet.

　　After confirming that he had transmigrated, Brian Carter had always wanted to make some weapons for self-defense. Unfortunately, the materials inside the spatial bracelet, apart from things like war demon remains, Orcram divine steel, sunstone, moonstone, frost dragon dragon crystal, and all sorts of high-level materials he had never seen before, were just a batch of earth-grade top materials and a bit of human-grade materials.

　　In this huge spatial bracelet, there wasn’t even a single piece of the most ordinary material.

　　It wasn’t that Brian Carter hadn’t thought about using a few top-grade materials to forge a powerful magical weapon. But the problem was, with these heaven-grade materials and the soul fire of an alchemy king at heaven-grade tier four, even if his luck was terrible, the equipment he made would still be at the peak of earth-grade, and if he got lucky, it would definitely be a heaven-grade tier four top-quality piece!

　　Could he even use such equipment? Brian Carter had asked himself this more than once. Previously, among the finished equipment in the spatial bracelet, except for that fireball magic ring with no level restriction, touching any other item would deliver a strong electric shock. The soul fire of an alchemy king at heaven-grade tier four might not be enough to make a divine artifact, but the magical weapons it produced were still extremely powerful. If he managed to forge one, would he even be able to touch it?

　　Turning the steel knife gently in the sunlight, Brian Carter sighed, “I used to think it was hard to get a graded weapon or piece of equipment, but now I realize, finding something ordinary isn’t easy either!”

　　Judging by the quality of the knife, its original owner really hadn’t done well for himself. This kind of quality was at best only a little better than a newbie weapon in a fantasy world.

　　“Well, it’s still a knife after all. Let’s just forge it into a magical weapon first.”

　　Brian Carter comforted himself again, took out all the steel knives he had previously obtained, and the soul fire of the alchemy king at heaven-grade tier four appeared in his hand once more. The flame had no heat at all, yet it could melt metal.

　　“It’s a pity that the heaven-grade tier four flame has no offensive power whatsoever.” Brian Carter sighed helplessly, feeling a bit resentful toward the top expert of that day—why didn’t he collect all the scattered soul fires of the alchemy king from around the world?

　　Legend had it that when all the soul fires of the alchemy king were collected and reached the completed state of heaven-grade tier ten, the owner of the soul fire could become the God of Alchemy Kings. Not only could they truly turn decay into magic, but the soul fire of the alchemy king would also possess formidable combat power.

　　“Since I was able to bring it over, maybe I’ll have that kind of power too.”

　　Brian Carter fantasized for a moment about the spectacular scene of himself becoming a god, then turned his attention back to the ordinary steel knives in front of him.

　　What kind of weapon would be best to make? Since obtaining the soul fire of the alchemy king, Brian Carter had only casually made a ring that could cast ten fireballs a day, and honestly didn’t know what kind of equipment would be best to make.

　　Over the past few days, he had encountered more and more monsters in the forest, and the ten fireballs per day were starting to be insufficient to deal with the increasing number of monsters.

Chapter 6: Super Genius? Super Loser (Part 2)

　　A magical sword or knife for close combat? No way! Brian Carter shook his head—he wasn’t some tiger-fighting hero like Wu Song. Close-quarters combat was a real thrill ride, and if things went wrong, he could lose his life. If he got an arm bitten off in a fight, even a heaven-grade healing potion probably couldn’t make it grow back, right?

　　A ranged weapon? A throwing spear? He didn’t have that much strength! A magic bow and arrow? Brian Carter gave a bitter laugh. He’d played archery games at amusement parks on Earth before. Spent ten bucks, and didn’t hit the target even once with ten arrows. Even if he made one, it would be useless.

　　Amusement park? Archery? Brian Carter slapped his forehead with a laugh and said, “How could I be so stupid! There aren’t just bows and arrows at amusement parks, there are also air guns for shooting balloons! Why don’t I just make a magic gun? Besides, in the fantasy world, there are dwarven gunner professions too. Making a magic gun would be perfect!”

　　Having decided on the type of weapon, Brian Carter began searching his spatial ring for other materials needed to make a magic gun.

　　A magic gun is basically a device that can extract a certain solidified energy and, with the addition of a magic array, convert it into a weapon that releases magic. In a way, it’s somewhat similar to a magic ring.

　　In the fantasy world, the power source for magic guns is usually a magic beast’s crystal core, with different magic guns using different beast cores. When the energy in the beast core is depleted, you have to buy a new one to keep using the magic gun.

　　In this forest where monsters could jump out at any time, Brian Carter definitely didn’t want to run out of energy while firing his gun, so he simply chose a frost dragon’s dragon crystal as the power source for his magic gun.

　　The dragon crystal was a bit larger than a regular magic beast core, about the size of a palm, and couldn’t possibly fit into the power compartment of an ordinary magic gun.

　　After thinking for a moment, an image of the gun he wanted gradually formed in Brian Carter’s mind.
