Chapter 3: Choosing Materials

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Mas carefully placed the earth-attribute magic crystal core on the alchemy platform and continued to look for other materials to make the Gargoyle.

After a while, Mas took out a medium-sized all-purpose steel frame from his space. This medium-sized all-purpose steel frame was a four-star one. From its grade, it was not difficult to tell that it was not cheap and cost at least a few thousand gold coins.

The steel frame was a special alchemy item that was refined by a professional alchemist.

It was worth mentioning that even alchemists were classified into different categories. Just like the teachers in his previous life, they were divided into math teachers or teachers of other subjects. It was the same for alchemists. According to the props and categories that they refined, they could be divided into the following categories.

One: An alchemist skilled in war products.

Two: An alchemist who is good at refining props.

Three: An alchemist who is good at refining magic creatures.

Four: An alchemist who is good at using ordinary raw materials to create the special materials needed for alchemists.

Among the four types of alchemists, props alchemists and materials alchemists were the most common. Their entry level was also relatively low and they were more popular among the masses.

War alchemists, on the other hand, were sought after by the major empires. Everywhere they went, they would be popular in the eyes of the higher-ups of other countries. For example, the advanced rune turret beside the gold-smelting tower was made by a war alchemist.

As for creature alchemists, this was an alchemy profession with an extremely high upper limit and a very low lower limit. Moreover, the entry requirements were also very high. Not to mention anything else, the huge cost of alchemy materials needed was something that ordinary alchemists could not afford, and the success rate was also, well, not an ordinary low.

Back to the main topic, he had figured out the tool he had.

A Level 1 Master of Creator’s Alchemy Platform could automatically refine five alchemy materials that were less than 20 stars.

In other words, he had already chosen a five-star magic crystal and a four-star all-purpose steel frame. He could still put three alchemy materials with a total of no more than 11 stars into the platform for automatic refinement.

Mas carefully classified all the remaining alchemy materials in the alchemy space.

There were basically no alchemy materials above five-star.

There were only two four-star alchemy materials left.

There were quite a lot of three-star materials.

Two-star and one-star were not considered.

Mas checked the information on the five alchemy materials separately.

[Eagle Witch’s Bird Beak (Four-star Alchemy Material): Every Eagle Witch only has one treasure. It contains a rare attack law that can break most of the defense in the world.]

[Ancient Hydra’s Saliva (Four-star High-Grade Alchemy Material): Legend has it that the saliva left behind when Hydra ate in ancient times contained intense poison. One drop can corrode a three-star Warlock armour.]

[Elven Unicorn’s Young Horn (Three-star High-Grade Alchemy Material): As the treasure of the Unicorn race, the horn’s hardness is comparable to half a meter thick granite stones in a hundred years. Also, when it hits an enemy, Unicorn’s Innate Magic might be added. It can blind the enemy and make them unable to see anything for a week.]

[100-Year-Old Vampire Corpse (Three-star Alchemy Material): An ordinary alchemy corpse that is preserved relatively well. Because of the characteristics of vampires, their skin is tougher. When enemies touch them, there is a chance of infection.]

[Inferior Red Crystal (Three-star Low-Grade Alchemy Material): A rare red crystal. Legend has it that the red crystal is used to summon the missing Crystal Dragon and the Guardian Golden Dragon of the elves. It has some magic resistance, but its quality is relatively low.]

Selecting three out of five made it difficult for Mas. These materials were rare treasures outside.

The materials that could be used to make the skin of alchemists included a hundred-year-old zombie’s corpse and inferior red crystals, but the remaining three were not easy to choose.

The Eagle Witch’s Bird Beak increased the attack power of alchemical creatures, the Ancient Hydra’s Saliva increased the lethality and death rate of alchemical creatures, and the Elven Unicorn’s Young Horn increased the defense of alchemical creatures.

Mas could not help but raise his eyebrows and think about it carefully. It was foolish to think that he could fight against an empire on his own. His wings were not fully grown yet, so why should he strike a stone with an egg? Therefore, he first eliminated the highly lethal poison saliva. With his current strength, he did not intend to make a huge enemy like the Storm Empire.

There were still four choices.

After much thought, Mas eventually gave up on the Elven Unicorn’s Young Horn.

Although the Elven Unicorn’s Young Horn was a rare treasure that could be used to increase the defense of alchemical creatures, at the moment, Mas was still more worried about the accompanying mages of the Empire. Those guys were not to be trifled with.

Using the characteristics of the 100-Year-Old Vampire Corpse, it could be used to create the wings of a Gargoyle. The Eagle Witch’s Bird Beak could be used to create the four limbs of a Gargoyle, and the Inferior Red Crystal could increase the Gargoyle’s resistance to magic. It could not be better used to deal with the subsequent scenes, which was undoubtedly the best solution at the moment.

After making this final choice, Mas slowly placed the remaining three items into the alchemy platform and began the alchemy synthesis.
