Chapter 59: Chapter 57: Alchemy Upgrade, System’s “Backdoor” (Two in One)
“Success!”
Upon seeing the system notification pop up, a spark of light flashed through Lucien’s eyes.
He gently closed his eyes, swiftly assimilating the influx of new knowledge into his mind.
Carly, witnessing Lucien slightly nodding his head in silent contemplation, couldn’t help but feel nervous. She was also reminded of her own “encounters” when studying witchcraft previously.
Could it be… that the level I’ve designed has not reached the expectations of ntor Lucien?
With so nervousness, Carly gazed at Lucien, her palms slightly sweating.
At that mont, Lucien opened his eyes, looked towards Carly, and once again ticulously examined the design papers Carly had drafted.
Afterward, putting down the papers, Lucien looked at Carly, a slight smile on his face, “The design is not bad, but there is still considerable room for improvent.”
Carly, seeing Lucien’s calm deanor, couldn’t help but widen her eyes a bit.
But what puzzled her more,
Carly was well aware that the enchanted bow she had designed under Lucien’s guidance had significant room for improvent in terms of its enchantnt level. However, this had been agreed upon previously, considering the difficulty of future repairs, so when it ca to designing the Alchemical Runes, they could only create the most basic.
Without considering the addition of other complex runes, Carly felt that the bow she had designed was already at its limit.
Even if ntor Lucien intended to make modifications, he could, at most, change minor aspects like the placent of the enchantnts, right?
“I feel we can make so adjustnts to those runes used for enchantnt…” Lucien suggested to Carly as he referred to the upgraded alchemical schematic provided by the system.
Relieved by his words, Carly realized what Lucien just ntioned was strikingly similar to her own thoughts, almost identical.
“ntor Lucien is really too bad, scaring
like that…” Carly thought to herself, and seeing Lucien’s serious little expression, she almost wanted to laugh.
“ntor Lucien, then how should we adjust it?” Carly asked, her eyes on Lucien, “You aren’t going to add a few high-level Alchemical Runes, are you…?”
“Of course not.” Lucien looked at Carly’s sowhat skeptical and slightly rebellious gaze, feeling annoyed, and almost wanted to knock on her head to bring her back to her senses.
However, Lucien quickly restrained this impulse and instead sat up a bit straighter, exuding an air of inscrutable depth.
“Who said that enhancing the performance of this bow necessarily requires higher-level Alchemical Runes?” Lucien countered with a question of his own.
Carly was taken aback, and looking into Lucien’s eyes, she felt a vague sense of panic.
Had her own assumptions been wrong?
Ignoring Carly’s confused expression, Lucien picked up the Feather Pen and began to draft a bow design alongside Carly’s initial draft, which was seventy percent similar, yet differed greatly in many intricate details.
“Co, take a look for yourself, and then make a comparison.” Lucien’s drawing process took no more than ten minutes, after which he laid down the Feather Pen and tossed the improved schematic directly to Carly.
Carly took the schematic with a sowhat dazed expression, but she soon developed a stubborn desire to see how large the gap was between her design and ntor Lucien’s.
If it was a simple contest of understanding alchemy, Carly felt she could never surpass ntor Lucien. But now both her and ntor Lucien’s bow designs were the most basic models—could it be that ntor Lucien could innovate further?
This was like mathematics; perhaps a primary school student would lose to a college professor in an equation-solving contest, and definitely in calculus, but when it cos to single-digit arithtic, the outco is not necessarily guaranteed!
Thinking this way, Carly opened Lucien’s draft.
“Seems almost the sa as my design…” Carly thought at first, but as she continued examining it, she was stunned.
For the basic Alchemical Runes used for enchantnt, her design had only allotted space for three enchantnt runes, whereas Lucien, after a slight adjustnt, had managed to reserve space for a total of five enchantnt runes within the sa area!
One must understand that the enchantnt space on alchemical gear is limited, and not every location on the gear can be used to engrave Alchemical Runes.
These runes also need to be inscribed at so “crucial points” on the alchemical gear to be successfully activated during use.
Take for instance the bow; the part of the bow that can be inscribed with Alchemical Runes is the grip.
And designing more crucial points within a limited space is no easy task.
“Lu… ntor Lucien, wouldn’t engraving so many runes in such a small area cause them to interfere with each other?” Carly looked up.
Although uncertain whether Lucien’s enchantnt structure was feasible, she was already in awe of the ingenious internal channels for witchcraft power Lucien had designed for those few enchantnt points.
“Silly, first take a good look at what runes I plan to engrave.” Lucien looked at Carly and her instantly clear eyes, a satisfied smile on his face.
