Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 12: Rich loot

Baldou died, and Su Lun began to collect his loot.

The mechanical arm on this guy's right arm has been badly damaged in the previous battle. The barrel, gas valve, high-pressure pipe, etc. have all been cut away.

However, this does not prevent Su Lun from researching this black technology of steam.

He had just stripped away the memory of the bald head, and now had some basic "steam machinery knowledge" in his mind. From this look, he roughly understood the structure of this mechanical arm.

"The technology tree of this world seems to be askew, a combination of alchemy + steam power..."

Su Lun looked at the runes engraved on the mechanical arm and fell into thinking.

Simple metal material cannot support such a complex structure, especially the ultra-high pressure steam cannon. These mysterious alchemical runes are the factors that play a very important role in the stability of the structure.

However, his mechanical knowledge is still very limited, and he cannot understand the principles of these inscriptions and enchantments for the time being.

.......

Without a second glance, Su Lun began to pick off the other equipment on the bald man.

Regrettably, except for the dagger just now, almost all the items on the body were damaged. The musket was also cut into several sections, with half of the handle still left in the holster.

Su Lun couldn't help but be a little disappointed. He didn't find the supplies he wanted, and he wondered: "That's it? Don't these guys go out with food?"

Just when doubts arose in his mind, he suddenly saw the three black gemstone rings in the bald hand.

Su Lun felt that if he remembered correctly, one of them was peeled off the finger of the dead cockscomb-headed man.

After paying attention, the "Eye of All Knowledge" immediately responded to the message.

[Broken Space Ring]

Detailed explanation: Inferior space equipment, engraved with identification runes (damaged).

"Space equipment?"

Seeing this, Su Lun showed an expression that was indeed the case.

In this desolate underground, water and food should be more important than weapons. These guys don't even have kettles on them, which is abnormal.

He peeled off a storage ring and put it on his finger. As soon as he thought about it, he suddenly saw that the "black gem" on the storage ring was a folding space.

About half a cubic space, it was densely packed with various bottles and cans.

Red, green and green, row after row, they look like potions.

Su Lun randomly took out a red test tube potion and used the "Eye of Omniscient" to identify it.

[Inferior healing potion (for internal use)]

Detailed explanation: Quickly stop bleeding and accelerate wound healing; although there are impurities, fortunately there are no side effects.

Then I looked at another blue one, which was used to restore dark spiritual power.

Then there are some high-end potions with inscriptions on the test tubes, and the quantity is very small.

"Sure enough, emergency medicine is a necessary substance for adventure. I probably won't die now..."

Su Lun was delighted.

A second ago, he was worried that the wounds on his body would become infected and inflamed due to the lack of necessary medicines, posing an unpredictable fatal threat to him.

Now that he saw these potions, he opened an intermediate healing potion and drank it. I also used external disinfectant to clean the wound.

Without the "Eye of Omniscient", Su Lun felt that even if he saw these potions, he would not know that these test tubes contained life-saving potions.

Of course, there are poisons.

Now it seems that this innate ability is really a perfect match for him as a time traveler.

What’s amazing is that after Su Lun took the potion, he suddenly felt the wounds on the palms of his hands were itchy. He knew very well that it was a sign that cells were dividing at an accelerated pace and that the wound tissue was healing.

But under normal circumstances, this sense of healing will not be obvious until a few days after the wound appears.

"What a miraculous potion. It is a life-saving surgical medicine..."

Su Lun's current vision allowed him to clearly see that his wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It seems that it will take less than half an hour to fully recover.

However, he immediately muttered: "This kind of injury seems to be a waste of using 'intermediate medicine'..."

It seems that the super powerful medicinal effect of the "intermediate healing potion" should be used to treat more fatal injuries. For the injury on the palm, inferior medicine seemed to be enough.

But Su Lun didn't feel it was a pity to use it on himself.

.......

In the second storage ring, Suellen found the food and water he wanted, but they looked very unpalatable.

The food was black bread as hard as a brick, and the water was murky.

If it hadn't been identified as [low-quality drinking water], Su Lun really wouldn't have thought that this turbid liquid that looked like it was brought directly from the swamp was drinking water.

Not in a hurry to eat, Su Lun checked the last storage ring, and there was a weapon inside.

There are two punk-style pistols and a short-barreled shotgun.

Then there are densely packed bullets and some replacement parts for the robotic arms.

Guns are all good guns, and bullets are not all simple gunpowder bullets.

After identification, Su Lun found that among the ordinary bullets, there were some special bullets with magic patterns on their warheads, [Alchemy Bullets (High Explosive)], [Alchemy Bullets (Armor-Piercing)], [Alchemy Bullets (Demon Destruction)] ...

There are not many of them, but they all look powerful.

No other food was found in the last storage ring. Su Lun had no choice. Low blood sugar had already made him a little dizzy. He picked up the brown bread and took a few bites, then poured a few mouthfuls of water that tasted decadent.

While he was eating, he was also very strange.

Judging from the equipment carried by the bald head, the muskets and bullets are all very well made. The industry in this world should be very developed. But the food was a bit appalling.

“Can’t those guys even provide basic clean drinking water and food?”

Su Lun, who traveled through time, had a hard time understanding why these guys could have such sophisticated equipment but not have a pot of clean drinking water.

He vaguely guessed that the living environment in this world might be very harsh.

.......

Su Lun sat and ate next to the bald corpse. He also watched the physiological characteristics of the living person gradually dissipate on the corpse, the skin turned white, and the body temperature gradually disappeared...

While he was still taking inventory of the storage ring, he suddenly discovered two luminous objects on the bald body.

A blue scale the size of a palm slowly condensed and appeared from the corpse's skin; the other was a dark red strip that looked like a muscle fiber bundle.

After appraisal, they found two more special items.

[Diamond Scale Armor (Broken)]

Detailed explanation: The damaged alchemy plant may be able to extract some useful extraordinary materials from it;

[Curse Object: Tough Demonic Muscle (Damaged)]

Detailed explanation: The inauguration material of the Warlock Power System ‘Iron Warrior’; part of the curse characteristics are missing, and the curse runes need to be redrawn before they can be used;

"Is this the invulnerable scale armor that Baldhead had before? It turns out to be something similar to equipment..."

Su Lun suddenly felt so amazing, what kind of existence is this kind of thing. It can be turned into a tattoo and covered on the body, and the magic circle can be used to catalyze the transformation into a physical object. Now that it is dead, it has been peeled off.

The "alchemy" that appeared frequently in the Eye of Omniscient really made him more and more curious.

After the "magic muscle" was peeled off from the corpse, the bald corpse shrank in size visibly to the naked eye.

Su Lun also understood something and suddenly said in his mind: "So this is how the 'employment materials' are used... directly integrated into the body to increase physical attributes?"

He immediately thought that he also had the inauguration materials of a "Puppet Master" in his hand, which would greatly improve his agility and skills after taking office.

Now it seems that the "magic muscle" of the bald head is the root cause of his exaggerated strength!

But...

Even after knowing the principle, Su Lun found that he still didn't know how to "take office".

......

After barely filling his stomach, Su Lun almost counted most of the supplies for the bald storage ring.

It's not that he doesn't want to find out everything, but that the "Eye of Omniscient" identification item is not completely free.

Identification requires the consumption of dark spiritual power.

The higher the level of the item, the more it is consumed.

There are only a few dozen points of dark spiritual power left in his body. Even if he drinks the recovery potion, it will take several hours to recover to full.

Anyway, I have found all the medicine and water to continue, and I don’t worry about the use of the remaining things.

Suellen loaded two muskets.

One is filled with ordinary bullets, the other is filled with special alchemy bullets, and then they are pinned to the waist.

He plans to leave here first, find a human city, and learn about the situation in this world.

Before leaving, looking at the bald body and the deserted manor, Su Lun suddenly had another doubt in his heart.

"It stands to reason that the original owner is here to look for this relic. Why did this bald man kidnap the original owner? Did he come specifically to follow him, or did his accompanying teammates have temporary evil intentions?"

Su Lun thinks the former is more likely.

No matter how stupid the original owner is, he probably will not share such an important "Treasure of Baron Isaac" with others. And even if he is looking for teammates, he probably won't look for a "gang" like Baldhead who is capable of making money and killing people at any time.

Judging from the information left on the retina, the identity of the original owner should be very sensitive, as if he was an exiled scion of a large family.

Taken together, these conditions are very intriguing.

"First of all, in such a remote place, the chance of encountering someone by chance is very low. Judging from the questions that the bald man interrogated before, they did not know the existence of the treasure before, nor did they know the true identity of the original owner. Therefore, they followed The purpose of coming here is very simple, just to kill people and silence them!”

"The reason why he didn't take action immediately was probably because the bald man was greedy and coveted the secrets of the original owner, so he followed him all the way here..."

"If we don't know each other, there is no old grudge. Therefore, the high probability is that he 'paid the murderer to kill'."

Su Lun connected the limited information in his mind and roughly restored the truth of the matter.

He speculated in his mind: "This means that where the original owner came, someone wanted his life? If I go back, I might be assassinated again?"

Thinking of this, he frowned slightly. This was not good news.

This means that even if he returns to the city where the original owner came from, he cannot reveal his identity.

Otherwise, it may lead to death.

"This is a bit embarrassing for me..."

Su Lun thought of something and muttered: "Such a handsome face, very recognizable."
