The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 239 Success

"Where did my father go today?" Alice asked curiously during dinner. After all, her father had been chatting with her during dinner these days, and she was a little uncomfortable with his sudden absence.

"He said he has found a way to turn you into an alchemist, so it will take some time to experiment," Ryan explained.

"I hope it's true this time. After all, my father has made me excited many times in the past. Every time he said he had a solution, but in the end it was all in vain. I hope it won't be like this this time."

"No." Ryan said confidently. "Because the raw materials used this time are brought from another world, they are probably different from other things in this world. It should be able to help you break this barrier."

"Okay, let's eat first." Hearing Ryan say this, Alice nodded and sat down at the table. The robot Miss Helen brought up the fresh meals that had just been prepared today.

"Thank you so much for your help recently. My relationship with my father has improved a lot. Although he seems awkward in finding topics to talk to me, it is much better than the past when he didn't say a word."

"Actually, it's because your father loves you, but he just didn't know how to express it before." Ryan said something fair at this time. "After all, when a man takes care of his daughter, it is often inevitable that he will neglect her."

"I actually hated him when I was sick in bed, but after the way he treated me recently, I really can't hate him anymore. I hope life like this can continue. Okay, let's not talk about these unpleasant things, let's eat."

Ryan didn't see Teacher Luo Zhen for a whole week. He was a little worried about this situation, so he asked Alice during afternoon tea on Tuesday, "Your father hasn't come out of the laboratory for three days. Is that okay?"

"Don't worry." Alice placed the cup on the saucer on the table elegantly. "Alchemists can transform anything into the energy they need to a certain extent, so it's normal for my father to stay in there for ten days or half a month. Fortunately, I have you and Miss Helen to accompany him during his retreat this time. I would have been really bored in such a situation before."

In addition to chatting with Alice and studying machinery these days, Ryan also took this opportunity to reorganize all the knowledge he had mastered and integrated them using alchemy. In this process, Ryan found that just as Teacher Luo Zhen said, what bothered him most was not the conflict of power, but something like the Buddhist knowledge barrier.

The moment he broke through his blind spot in understanding and accepted the alchemy knowledge about what power is that Teacher Luo Zhen told him, he had actually passed the most difficult hurdle. All that remained were contents that required time and energy to accumulate slowly.

In the past few days, he summarized and classified all the powers he had, and learned to classify them not by source but by the nature of the power. For example, he classified thunder magic and natural magic into one category, or classified corpse driving magic and life magic together.

At the same time, he also combined all the powers related to the runes regardless of their source and used alchemy to synthesize them into a whole.

These attempts soon produced results. For example, Ryan successfully made a talisman for a coma spell using yellow paper and cinnabar, or used a magic wand instead of a peach wood sword and jade talisman to release thunder magic.

However, his biggest gain in this phase was the transformation of the Deathclaw puppet. After mastering alchemy, Ryan realized that his previous transformation of the Deathclaw was just forcibly combining the forces from different places. Not only did it not achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two, but the overall level was even lower than the sum of each individual transformation part. It felt like the weapon built by India in the previous life, using a bunch of first-class parts to piece together a third-rate product. After using alchemy to completely transform it this time, he finally made the previously unconnected subsystems on the Deathclaw form a perfect magic cycle. After testing, the Deathclaw is now far better than before in terms of combat effectiveness and operability.

Especially in terms of operability, if I used to operate it with a keyboard, now it feels like I am operating it with my body. The flexibility is completely different from the past.

Finally, Ryan used the contents of the notebook left by Mr. Luo Zhen to further modify some runes on the death claws, so that the death claws can be transformed into palm-sized basalt statues when not in use. This not only greatly reduces their daily consumption, but also improves their portability.

After all, the Wanjie Grocery Store cannot be opened during a battle. Previously, he could only take out the two puppets in advance when he judged that they might be needed. This was not only troublesome, but also had poor concealment. Now that the puppets can be transformed into small statues, Ryan can directly stuff them into the space bag and throw them out when needed to catch the enemy off guard.

A week had passed when Ryan finished dealing with the death claws. He had just finished a yellow paper talisman of the Iron Armor Curse when he saw Teacher Luo Zhen, with messy hair, running out of the laboratory behind him holding a tube of blue potion. When Ryan rushed to the living room, he saw Luo Zhen happily talking to his daughter.

When Ryan leaned over, he heard Luo Zhen excitedly saying, "--This time, thanks to the crystal Ryan brought, I found that there is a special substance in it that can enable people to master extraordinary powers, but it is wrapped in a lot of other impurities. That kind of impurity can actually enable people to master extraordinary powers, but it will also damage people's bodies and souls. I spent a lot of effort to extract the part that can really be used. But the amount originally for three people can now only be used by one person."

Ryan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, he didn't use it rashly on himself at that time, otherwise the consequences would definitely be terrible now.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of Luo Zhen and Ryan, Alice drank the blue potion. As soon as she finished drinking the potion, she closed her eyes and collapsed on the sofa. Fortunately, both Ryan and Luo Zhen had a way to monitor Alice's physical condition. They found that this was just a reaction after the potion took effect.

Five minutes later, Alice opened her eyes. Luo Zhen knelt there nervously, looked into her eyes and asked, "Alice, how do you feel now?"

"I, I feel like something is different from before." Alice's blue eyes were filled with confusion.

"Stare at this piece of paper and try to make it fly." Ryan tore off a small piece of tissue paper used to pad snacks on the table and said to Alice.

"Yes, let's try it quickly." Luo Zhen also said.

Alice stared at the piece of paper on the coffee table. After five or six minutes, just when Luo Zhen began to feel depressed, the paper moved slightly. Soon, the piece of paper was suspended five or six centimeters above the table.

"We succeeded." Ryan happily high-fived Luo Zhen to celebrate. Everyone in the living room had a happy smile on their face.
