Apparent Expert in an Alternate World - Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Crafting a Protective Amulet

The celebration lasted until deep into the night, and in the now peaceful streets, Chu Nan drunkenly staggered back to his room. He had tried to drink as little as possible but he was unable to stop those enthusiastic offers, in particular from those young and beautiful women. If it were not because Carlina and Catherine were nearby, Chu Nan honestly believed he would succumb to his lower brain.

“Sigh!” Throwing those regretful thoughts away, Chu Nan looked at the steel plates he had requesting the blacksmith to prepare and sighed. “The chance of getting laid is getting smaller day by day. Right now, I don’t even hope to get rid of my virginity, I at least should have given away my first kiss! I’m suffering just by being surrounded by a group of beautiful women!”

After a series of useless grumbling, Chu Nan summoned the Alchemy King’s soul flame that he had not seen for half a year.

The Alchemy King’s purple soul flame reappeared before him once again. Oddly enough, the dancing flames didn’t radiate the slightest heat, seemingly as if it was only an illusion.

“Long time no see.” Chu Nan smiled at the flame and promptly threw the steel plates into the purple fire.

When the steel plates got in contact with the soul flame, the purple flame blazed, and the steel plates immediately melted down into molten steel. It was hard to imagine that this Alchemy King’s soul flame that did not emit the slightest heat, could easily melt the steel plates. Not to mention that the molten steel did not fall to the ground but instead, floated within the flames.

The soul flame was impossible to train within the Heaven Forest, so Chu Nan had devoted more time into researching magic arrays. Perhaps it was either his good luck or his talents, but he did not break even a sweat when learning those complicated magic arrays. He could even add on new ideas on the arrays.

Or it should rather be said that whenever he researched these magic arrays, there would be another voice in his mind giving him pointers. Some of the new ideas he had could even be attributed to the voice inside his head.

Majority of the time, whenever Chu Nan wanted to know the function of a magic array, the voice in his mind would communicate with him and soon, he would create a brand new magic array.

What Chu Nan aimed for was to create a transmitter to release the power of the seal cards he had. Based on Chu Nan’s research, he wanted to create a machine for the seal card to be inserted in. A core would be placed inside the machine as its power source and it would continuously input energy to maintain the activation of the seal card. As a result, before the core was completely depleted, the living being in the seal card would be summoned outside to slog for the user unless the card was deactivated.

What Chu Nan wanted to craft was two metal gloves with the tip of his fingers exposed, the White Tiger seal card would be in the left glove and the Killing Bees seal card would be in the right glove. In the event where he was forced to encounter any tough opponents, he only had to summon the sealed creatures in the card with a shout for them to be released.

Complicated magic arrays were engraved on the gloves formed with the molten steel, and Chu Nan slowly crafted the gloves according to the image he had thought of.

Soon, two metal gloves were formed.

“Let me try them on.”

Chu Nan straightforwardly wore the gloves and took out the White Tiger and Killing Bees seal cards. He looked at the third seal card that was inside the spatial ring but in the end, he slotted the two cards into the gloves in their set positions .

After he inserted the cards, the next step would be to insert the magic cores. The two steel plates that looked like wrist arm guards with a circular groove in the middle was where the cores were to be inserted.

Chu Nan took out two Minotaur magic cores and inserted both of them into the two gloves.

Upon insertion, the dull gloves immediately radiated a faint light. Anyone who looked at it would instantly know that the gloves were a pair of magic tools.

“Stop the glow and adjust energy output. Set to release one hundred Killing Bees and turn on release mode.”

After Chu Nan issued the command, the gloves stopped glowing and a red glint flashed past his hand, which was the signal that the output had been set and it now required the user to say the command for it to execute the order.

“Killing Bees, come out!”

With a wave of his hand, a hundred KiIling Bees immediately appeared in the large room. Every single bee was around the size of a thumb and its tail radiated a deep blue light that was obviously poisonous.

If one were to only pay attention to the tail of a Killing Bee, then the target would soon end up dead. Because other than their tails, Killing Bees possessed poisonous sharp teeth that were equally as dangerous as their tail.

Even though these small bees did not pose any danger if alone, in the situation where the bees gathered together in groups of fifty, one hundred, five hundred, a thousand or even three thousand, their powers were not to be underestimated.

Killing Bees did not possess invincible abilities like White Tiger. However, Chu Nan was unable to afford the expensive appearance fees of the latter every single time, even if he was as wealthy as a country. Therefore, controlling Killing Bees was more practical for his wallet.

After directing the Killing Bees to fly around his room for ten minutes, Chu Nan felt bored and undid the summoning. When he checked the energy consumption, he realized that one-tenth of the Minotaur magic core had been depleted.

“That’s to say that if I were to summon a thousand of Killing Bees, one Minotuar core would be consumed every ten minutes.” Chu Nan clicked his tongue. “The energy consumption is rather shocking. I wonder how long can a Great Minotuar energy core last for.”

Shaking his head, Chu Nan took out a Great Minotuar core and inserted it into the left glove before calling out, “Adjust energy output, summon White Tiger!”

All of a sudden, a powerful gale appeared in the room and Chu Nan’s left glove slightly shook, before a huge White Tiger head appeared.

“Little brat, what did you make? How is it possible for you to summon this lord like that? However, the energy you have provided is too little. According to the rules of the seal card, you can only summon my head for around the time enough for you to consecutively drink ten bowls of alcohol. If you have something to say, be quick.”

“White Tiger, return!” Chu Nan waved his hand, and when he looked at the Great Minotaur magic core, half of the energy had already been depleted.

“My heavens! No wonder no one likes to keep a tiger! It’s consumption levels are too shocking. No matter how wealthy I am, I will go bankrupt.” Chu Nan shook his head and took out the half depleted magic core. “A green dragon’s crystal is the safer option to use. With it, I can avoid the situation where White Tiger disappears halfway through because there is not enough energy.”

While Chu Nan felt his heart bleeding as he slotted a dragon crystal into his glove, there was a turmoil going on in Dolunga City.
