At home, Colin turned on the light and sat alone on the sofa, thinking quietly.
To be honest, he was a little impulsive about what happened today.
But it must be mentioned that in this world where life and death must be decided by rolling the dice every eight years, if he wants to take his destiny into his own hands, he cannot just slowly and honestly accumulate his strength, but must keep taking big strides forward.
Compared with the more drastic decisions he will be expected to make in the future, everything he did today can only be regarded as an insignificant embellishment in his future life.
He got up and went to the kitchen, made himself a cup of black tea according to his memory, then returned to the sofa and thought about his own cultivation.
A week had passed since he started practicing, and with the nourishment of the undead magic power he had cultivated, his progress had reached a level that could be seen with the naked eye.
But even so, he was still not satisfied with the pace of his own progress.
Too slow!
Simply speaking, judging from the inheritance comparison given in the memory, his cultivation speed is not slow, and he can even be called a top genius.
But compared with his situation in this world and the goals he wants to achieve, this rate of power growth can only be said to be extremely slow.
"Phew~ Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, there will always be a way."
After taking a sip of hot black tea and calming down his somewhat impatient heart, he opened the item panel.
Cultivation can never achieve results by being impatient. Being too eager for quick success will only ruin his future.
Simply increasing combat power is not a difficult task for Colin, who has inherited all the secondary positions in the dark world.
Especially after receiving the gift from the unknown existence, the difficulty, which was not great to begin with, was greatly reduced.
“What a perfect masterpiece!”
In the middle of the living room, Colin looked at the one-foot-square Horadric Cube he had taken out of his backpack with a dazed look in his eyes.
The box is made of gold and red, and has alchemical patterns that represent the truth of the world. For Colin, who has inherited the tradition and can be considered to be proficient in alchemy, the cube in front of him is the most precious treasure in the world.
And now, this treasure belongs to him!
He impatiently placed his hands on the box, and as the little magic power in his body was infused into it, suddenly, a stream of feedback information rushed into his mind.
The information flow is not very large, mainly the method of using the Horadric Cube.
In just a few seconds, Colin was completely awake, and at the same time, he looked at the Horadric Cube more eagerly.
The Horadric Cube itself has a 3m x 3m x 3m space inside, which can be used as a storage space at ordinary times, or its true function can be activated for alchemy.
The most noteworthy point is that in the small space inside Horadric, the rules of the world are completely different from those of the outside world.
Three micro healing potions can be synthesized into a primary healing potion, and three rings can be synthesized into a necklace. This kind of situation that is completely inconsistent with the logical laws of the outside world is an unreasonable fact in this space!
As long as it complies with the alchemical rules of this space, no matter how incredible it seems to the outside world, it can be achieved "unconditionally" here.
Please note that this is unconditional. Just a thought is enough. No energy or anything else is needed. Just a thought as the owner of the Horadric Cube is enough.
Moreover, more importantly, these unreasonable rules can be increased according to the master's wishes. Although this requires alchemy far beyond his current level, and may not be achieved even until death, if it is really achieved, even making the legendary elixir of immortality will be easy.
"Huh, calm down, calm down, you need to know how capable you are, and it's better not to think too much about those unrealistic things!"
Colin slapped his face hard until his cheeks turned red. Then he withdrew the idea of studying alchemy with great willpower and began to think about how the ability of the Horadric Cube could help him in the early stages, as well as the alchemical formulas recorded in the information flow transmitted from the Horadric Cube.
The alchemical formulas that exist in the game are still here, there is nothing much to say, the only difference is that there is one more.
One higher-level ore can be refined for every thousand pieces of ore, and the refined ore cannot be refined again.
This formula is not difficult to understand, but it is impossible to be sure whether this portion is fixed or unfixed, and whether the improvement in the quality of the ore is large or small.
Colin frowned and thought for a moment, then he went to the kitchen, found an iron basin, threw it into the Horadric Cube and activated the formula.
Without anything unusual happening, the next second, a red iron block only as big as the tip of his little finger appeared in Colin's palm.
"Is this... Black Iron?"
Colin took it in front of him and looked at it carefully, muttering to himself uncertainly.
If minerals are divided into five grades, iron is the fifth grade, and black iron is the third grade.
Not only does it have lower magic conductivity and magic affinity that iron ore does not have, but adding it to ordinary weapons can greatly increase the toughness of the weapons and the defensive power of armor.
In this respect, it can be said that it is only slightly inferior to a few extremely rare metals such as fine gold and mithril.
Although the ratio of one thousand to one sounds a bit unfair, in fact, he did make a lot of money.
"Well, you've once again shown me how shallow my imagination really is, and how powerful you really are!"
Colin stuffed the Horadric Cube in the middle of the living room back into the backpack space, slightly modified his future plans, returned to bed, and closed his eyes to meditate.
No matter how many ideas you have, you must have the strength to implement them, and now, improving your strength is his top priority.
…
The night passed quickly, and as the sunlight shone through the curtains onto Colin's face, his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
After taking a quick shower, he drove to the place he and John had agreed on yesterday.
To be honest, although he wanted a lot of things, most of them could be purchased directly on the Amazon Mall. Only a few special ones, such as some deadly toxic materials or some things that were expressly banned by the country, required John's help.
Similarly, although the workload seems scary, it actually does not require John to expend too much energy. Most of the orders are placed by him. Only those that he cannot buy or that are too expensive for him to purchase are taken care of by John.
After all, the other party did not take his $10,000 channel fee, and his relationship with him was not as close as Joseph's. Naturally, he couldn't really be so shameless as to ask the other party to do things while he just watched.
