Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 10: Extraordinary items harvested

"Double talent? What is this?"

Su'en lacks basic knowledge of this world, so even if he sees this extra talent, he doesn't know what it's used for.

Moreover, he found that his spiritual power value has changed from "26" to "18".

His spiritual power has decreased by 8 points, and the feeling of hearing whispers in his ears has completely disappeared.

Su'en speculated in his heart, "The principle of this altar is to offer items and exchange them for some kind of transcendent talent. It used to be an eye for an eye. Now that my spiritual power has decreased, could it be... the previous owner's remnants were completely sacrificed within my body, and then I obtained a new talent?"

He didn't dwell on this question too much, as there was no way to confirm it anyway.

But at this moment, a strange thought popped into Su'en's mind: if he wasn't a traveler, what would a normal person sacrifice to obtain this talent? Would they commit suicide on the altar and sacrifice their own soul?

.......

"What is the use of this talent S-004, Death Reaper?"

After all, this is not a game, and reality doesn't have skill usage instructions.

Su'en looked at it for a while, but still had no clue, and his body didn't undergo any changes.

He thought for a moment, didn't dwell on it, and continued to test the abilities he gained from his eyes.

In an instant, he turned his gaze to several stone sculptures, and a string of words appeared on them.

[Damaged stone sculptures]

Explanation: Stone sculptures without transcendent power, no significant observation value;

This time, Su'en probably knew the use of this talent, "Isn't this the 'appraisal skill' in the game..."

If we talk about the enhancement of combat power with this talent... it's not significant, it can be considered completely useless.

This can basically be classified as a support function.

At least, in a real fight, it is not on the same level as the previous bald man's [Steelized Skeleton].

"Maybe I haven't understood the use of this 'All-Seeing Eye', or perhaps there are still undeveloped abilities. This awakening ritual is so complicated, it shouldn't be that simple..."

Su'en looked at it, but he wasn't too disappointed.

At least, his vision has improved, and it seems that his marksmanship has become more accurate.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, walked down from the altar, and took out the rune doll that Pestoya had given him to appraise.

Upon inspection, he realized that it was a valuable treasure.

[Cursed Item: Rune Puppet]

Quality: Gold

Description: It doesn't like being controlled by others, but it enjoys controlling humans;

Curse Attribute: Within a range of ten meters, it can indiscriminately control the minds of target creatures with a spirit level below 15, causing hypnosis, physical confusion, madness...

Explanation: A material for alchemists specializing in mysterious puppets; after specializing, it greatly enhances skill and agility attributes and gains exclusive inherited skills.

Evaluation: Body compatibility 93%, this is already a very good quality material for advancing professions.

If it weren't for this "All-Seeing Eye," Su'en wouldn't have expected that a random toy doll he considered a "souvenir" would be so powerful.

"Physical confusion... this seems to be one of Pestoya's transcendent abilities?"

He looked at the detailed description of the puppet and immediately thought of the scene where he uncontrollably ate in the banquet hall before.

Directly depriving control of the body, this ability is truly bizarre.

"It even has indiscriminate mind control..."

Su'en looked at it with a startled expression. If his spiritual power wasn't stronger than that of an ordinary person, having this thing around would probably drive him crazy.

Hmm... it's probably equivalent to carrying a dangerous "nuclear radiation toy" with you.

And at this moment, he also noticed a new term in the detailed descriptionspecialization material.

He thought of the bald Ivan who transformed his entire body into metal scales using a magic array. Could this be some kind of special method for advancing professions?

Su'en had quite a lot of strange knowledge in his head, and he speculated that this so-called "specialization" was similar to job changes in games.

"Pestoya's profession should be 'Puppeteer'... but how do I specialize?"

Countless question marks popped up in Su'en's mind, and he sighed softly.

He had limited knowledge of this world and lacked much necessary common sense.

And now it seems that having this "All-Seeing Eye" ability is quite useful, at least it allows him to see these magical items without being completely clueless.

........

Su'en put the puppet back into the wooden box.

To his surprise, upon closer inspection, he found that the box containing the rune puppet was also a treasure.

[Level 2 Rune Sealing Wooden Box]

Explanation: A special alchemical box that can block fluctuations in spiritual power; upon careful observation, you will find some inscriptions on it.

Su'en had previously felt that the patterns on the box were somewhat special, and now seeing this prompt, he took another look and discovered that the intricate patterns were actually tiny words, which turned out to be a book titled "Comprehensive Guide to Puppet Making."

"Could it be that Pestoya thought my spiritual power was strong and suitable for being a puppeteer, so she not only gave me a 'specialization material' but also included a skill book?"

Su'en suddenly thought of the gentle little girl with golden hair and blue eyes, and there was always an indelible sense of regret in his heart.

What a pity...

He also didn't forget his promise to the girl, to ask his parents why they burned her to death.

But this estate has been abandoned for hundreds of years, and his parents are probably long gone.

This "promise" may never be fulfilled.

Then, he looked at the butterfly brooch pinned to his chest by the little girl, which turned out to be a transcendent item as well.

[Pestoya's Brooch]

Focus +10

Explanation: A brooch with strong resentment. It is a delicate alchemical product that allows the wearer to be more focused in learning, casting spells, working... But prolonged wearing will make one's temperament become irritable and violent.

(Note: Your transcendent ability prevents you from detecting and understanding too many things beyond your cognitive level, so after careful perception, you also see a string of 'unknown ???'...)

Su'en looked at the brooch, thinking it was just a little trinket the girl gave him.

But unexpectedly, when he saw the "???" note behind the brooch, a series of question marks also appeared in his mind.

An elusive sense of mystery immediately enveloped him.

There is actually something in this brooch that he temporarily can't understand?

What exactly could it be that the "All-Seeing Eye" judges him unable to comprehend... Is it like explaining the concept of three-dimensional or four-dimensional space to a two-dimensional creature, where they can hear and see but simply cannot understand?

Something that even a traveler like himself can't comprehend must be extraordinary...

"Could there be some secret hidden in this brooch?"

Su'en instinctively felt that something was off.

And at this moment, the question that troubled Su'en resurfaced in his mind: why did Pestoya's parents burn her to death?

Perhaps... she herself had some kind of problem?

In this world with transcendent abilities, who knows what strange existences there might be.

If it weren't for the "All-Seeing Eye," Su'en probably wouldn't have noticed any issues with the brooch.

But now that he has discovered it, he feels a sense of caution.

However, Su'en quickly thought that Pestoya is the big boss of this estate, so even if he suspects something, it's best not to bring it up here.

Thinking this, he decided to leave this place before making any decisions.
