Chapter 4: The Most Superior Woman in the World
After taking out what he wanted, Gallo decided to leave. After all, this was not a suitable place for him to study. When he passed by the four adventurers again, he didn't even bother to untie them. He wasn't a kind person to begin with. Anyway, those stone strips would probably fall off in about ten minutes, no need to worry about it.
"What should I do next?" As he walked out of the ruins, this thought surged in his mind. The lab was gone, research materials were gone, data was gone, and he could say that he had nothing left on him. And did this world even have any usable materials? Those few people's minds only had some basic information, everything else was a mess of useless junk.
However, there were a few messages that caught his attention. The first was the so-called Adventurer's Guild, an organization recognized by this world. As long as you had money, you could post any task inside, including escorting, finding materials, purchasing supplies, and even assassination. On the other hand, if you wanted to join and become an adventurer, it was easy and effortless, requiring only filling out a part of the registration form. The levels of adventurers ranged from one to ten, and among the few people he had just met, except for the leader Komya who was a third-level adventurer, the others were only second-level small fries. According to his information, becoming a fifth-level adventurer would require mastering so-called powerful abilities.
The second point is the power of this world, Dou Qi and magic. These two unique words interest him very much, but unfortunately, with their level, it's impossible to know what things are in any place, only strength is the strongest. Although he mastered alchemy, without materials, he is also relatively unsafe.
Thirdly, from that person's memory, the history of this world has been nearly a thousand years so far, but no new civilization has emerged. This is not only because this world values strength, but also because several major catastrophes have occurred in the past eight hundred years or so.
"Judging from the current situation, it seems that I can get some of the minerals I want from the Adventurer's Guild, but are the minerals in this world similar to those on Earth? If not, then don't I have to start all over again to understand them? Alas, this is the most troublesome thing." Galo was getting a headache, with one problem after another without stopping, time, money, materials, too many problems.
He wandered aimlessly and came to a small pool, although he didn't feel thirsty, he still squatted down to take a few sips of water. His hair fell over his eyes, completely covering them. Just as he brushed it aside with both hands, it fell again. Helpless, he pulled out a small blade of grass from the ground and placed it in the palm of his hand. A few seconds later, the grass turned into a sturdy grass belt.
He tied his hair back with a grass belt and lowered his head, just as he was about to drink water, his movements suddenly stopped.
On the calm water surface, a beautiful face was reflected, with fair and ruddy skin that was so enticing. The curved and beautiful lips were naturally red, showing an unparalleled charm. The small nose was so natural that it added to her clear and elegant temperament. Her light golden eyes were full of charm, and her gentle demeanor was enough to captivate everyone's heart, even if it meant completely falling for her.
In such a place, in such a scene, Gharo understood that this beautiful face was his own, completely reborn himself.
"Ugh, it's even worse than I imagined." Although it was clear that the body made of the finest materials was absolutely top-notch in terms of appearance, the more perfect the face, the more trouble it brought. He couldn't help but wish he could use an ordinary face, at least it wouldn't be so much trouble. However, there was one thing that made him accept this body - it would never have to deal with the monthly troubles that women had. After all, it was a perfect body, and such annoying things were avoided.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, he sat under the tree. If he were to start from scratch, what he needed most was funds. However, before that, he had to get familiar with his new body first.
Close your eyes, sit cross-legged, and the spiritual energy flows throughout the body in an instant, like mercury pouring down, easily penetrating the entire body.
Soul alchemy, spiritual introspection.
The more he understood Soul Alchemy, the more astonished he was at its incredible power. The ability of Soul Alchemy was too powerful, and now he finally realized how lucky he was that his soul hadn't completely dispersed in the explosion.
"Hmm, strength has increased by about six times? Agility has improved twelvefold, and resistance to impact has increased twenty-eightfold?! This... this is incredible! Spiritual power... heaven, it's increased sevenfold!" Gallo's eyes snapped open wide. The increase in physical strength and physique was still imaginable, but spiritual power? To think that his spiritual power was already among the top ten on Earth as an alchemist, now it had grown by seven times or more, probably making him the strongest person on Earth.
And in his sea of consciousness, he saw something that was not there before. In his original sea of consciousness, there was a golden sphere, which was the proof of an alchemist, the soul of alchemy. But now, his soul of alchemy had been replaced by a seven-colored rhombus. What was going on?
Wait, seven colors, could it be!
"Koran Blood Gem!" Galo understood, everything was caused by that Koran Blood Gem, the gentle power contained in the gemstone had not been studied by him, and he did not expect that it contained such a huge pure spiritual energy.
Withdraw your insight, the result is far beyond your own expectation, it's really too good. In another place where you don't understand at all, you find that your strength has increased greatly, this is absolutely the best news.
"Alright, now the first step is to fully adapt to the body, and then in this forest, I hope to find something useful." Just as he stood up, Gallo suddenly felt that something was approaching, and hastily lowered his head. A huge shadow swooped over his head.
The increased physical agility allowed Gallo's originally clumsy movements to become much more agile, rolling on the spot to dodge and then looking around.
A gigantic lone wolf with a glowing gaze stared at Gallo, its flat belly indicating it had been starving for days, and now Gallo was its lunch.
He slowly stood up, with no alchemy equipment on his hands, unable to exert his greatest advantage. It seems that he would have to rely on physical strength for this match. Hopefully, this body forged from high-quality materials wouldn't let him down.
The unicorn wolf let out a low growl and suddenly charged over, but Gallo raised his left hand and surprisingly pinned the unicorn wolf's head with one hand, immediately suppressing its impact.
If Komya and the others were here, they would probably be shocked. Garo was facing the master of this forest, the Unicorn Wolf, a level 4 wind attribute magical beast. Although it wasn't very powerful, its speed with the wind attribute made it an absolute nightmare for ordinary warriors. But Garo not only clearly saw his opponent's trajectory but also easily intercepted him!
Garro's right hand rose, and a punch landed on the Lone Wolf's abdomen. A shocking scene unfolded as the Lone Wolf was violently smashed flying, with blood spewing from its mouth, mixed with some internal organs flowing out! Garro's modified body had become too powerful after all.
The lone wolf rolled on the ground several times and almost couldn't get up. Gallo was stunned for a moment, "Oh, not bad, the power boost is so intense."
Suddenly, the lone wolf's head jerked up and its mouth opened wide, a dark grey mass gathering in its maw before shooting out fiercely towards Gallo.
Ka Luo had already sensed that something was off, because in the mouth of the lone wolf, he felt the strange feeling existing in the air of this world condensing in its mouth, and then, it actually fired an air cannon.
"What kind of power is this?" Garo dodged the air cannon's attack, and the lone wolf could no longer hold on, falling to the ground dead.
Looking at the corpse of the lone wolf, Gallo fell into deep thought. It was clear that this was the power of wind, and there were also records of wind and fire in alchemy. Corresponding to it was the super high-level skill of alchemy, Elemental Alchemy.
Elemental Alchemy is the ability to condense natural forces such as wind, fire, water, lightning, and earth into powerful alchemical tools. Galo has also attempted this technique, which can be said to be the most troublesome of all alchemical techniques, even more so than Soul Alchemy.
It suddenly dawned on Galo, "I get it! The things floating in the air are what they call magical elements. That means I can use elemental alchemy to craft high-quality items in this world. I'm sure there are plenty of high-quality materials in a world filled with elemental energy."
Just as he shifted his attention to this, Galo's eyes locked onto the corpse of the lone wolf. On one hand, he was already hungry; on the other hand, there must be something good on this magical beast with its strange powers.
He slowly took small bites of the roasted meat, and it was really painful for him. In the past, when he did experiments, he would gobble down his food, but now, with a cherry-sized mouth, he couldn't eat much at all, only able to stuff in a little bit at a time, making it hard for him to bear, as he was used to eating fast food.
He was playing with two objects in his hand, the only things that Lone Wolf had ever laid eyes on. One was the horn on Lone Wolf's forehead, and the other was a small piece of blue stone about the size of a thumb, taken from its head.
The reason for paying attention to these two things is that they are the only items with wind elements in the Garo perception, and intuitively speaking, the power of that stone is absolutely stronger.
Drop the bones in his hand, and his own appetite has also become pitifully small now. Wash your hands, he is about to start preparing for his first elemental alchemy in another world.
First, take a slightly trashy unicorn and gently float it in your hand. The light of alchemy slowly envelops the unicorn, and under Gallo's spiritual power, the unicorn begins to transform and absorbs the wind element power from the air.
A few seconds later, the item appeared. It was a small and delicate ring with no excessive decorations, only a few wind engravings that looked elegant. Gallo put it on his hand and felt the energy inside. Generally speaking, it was barely usable because after all, it wasn't made of high-quality materials. The absorbed wind element couldn't combine well with the internal elements, resulting in the ring storing at most one-third of the wind element.
Better than nothing, put the ring on your left hand and swing it casually.
A blast of air like a unicorn shot out and easily broke a tree trunk, which was already not bad in terms of power.
Garo nodded and began to transform the stone, compressing it into a ring-sized object to absorb more energy. As a result, the stone absorbed stronger and more wind elemental powers.
He put the ring on his right middle finger, and now he had at least gained the ability to protect himself. Just as he was about to experiment with the power of the ring, he suddenly heard some voices.
After some thought, he decided to take things slowly with the experiment. He gradually approached the source of the sound, wanting to investigate first and perhaps find something useful for himself.
Not long after he walked, he found that he had already left the forest. The position where he was just now was at the edge of the forest. What a small forest! He mocked himself and quietly slipped past, parted a huge leaf and stretched out his head.
Appearing on this side is a team of about forty people, not many, but looking over, it's clear that they are two batches of people.
One group was a troop of knights clad in fine armor, about fifteen men, with a crest on their chest that clearly indicated they were from some family or nation. The other group was equipped haphazardly, and if he wasn't mistaken, it should be that adventurer's party.
The two groups of people were divided into front and back, the adventurer's team was in the front, pulling two large carts loaded with some things, while the knights were protecting a horse-drawn carriage, which obviously had the person they needed to escort on it.
