Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

However, when Sherlock asked Thor this question, not only Thor, but even the gladiators in the arena looked at Sherlock with fear and incomprehension.

To them, Sherlock's questions were truly devilish.

Who would want to taste the monsters they encounter on a daily basis that eat people like dessert?

To this, Sherlock could only shrug and declare that he and these warriors were on different paths and could not work together! It's important to know that Sherlock was on the Rabbit's side, and to the Rabbits...

Food that can be eaten directly is called food; poisonous food can be soaked in alcohol; non-poisonous food that needs to be cooked is called raw material; poisonous food that doesn't taste good after cooking is called medicinal material; and food that is inedible no matter how you prepare it is called building material.

What does it mean that wild beasts cannot be eaten directly? Take a look at the Northeastern Chinese recipes from before the founding of the People's Republic of China, learn them carefully, and then answer this question!

Fun fact: The champion of the first National Chef Competition was a Northeastern Chinese chef! The dish was called Orchid Bear Paw!

Sherlock really didn't want to discuss food with these barbarians who couldn't eat, so he could only roll his eyes to show that he didn't want to talk to them.

Unlike Sherlock, Doro was quite interested in these barbarians, and even seemed eager to try them out.

After all, even Thor was defeated by Doro back then, and Doro is currently at the peak of his power.

Sherlock didn't refuse, and instead gave Doro a lot of the mini artifacts he had prepared beforehand, then let Doro go off and play by himself.

Then these barbarians witnessed what unfairness, cheating, and pay-to-win players really meant.

That guy, Mini Meowth Hammer, Mini Death Sword (Hela's sword), Mini Eternal Spear, Mini Stormbreaker—Doro has a mini version of almost every weapon with a name in Asgard.

That's not even the most outrageous part. The most outrageous thing is that Sherlock actually equipped Doro with a miniature Destroyer armor! And it's the original style!

How is this played?

Screw you, go home and play with your eggs!

Watching Doro dominate in the training matches, Thor almost burst into tears!

God knows how much ridicule I endured when I was defeated by this little pink-haired dumpling. Now you bunch of bastards can experience firsthand the despair I felt back then!

Chapter 119 The Incredibly Cunning Sherlock

For three whole days, while Doro was dominating the arena, Sherlock was naturally not idle either. However, compared to Doro's underhanded tactics that relied purely on equipment and stats to crush his opponents, Sherlock's sneaky tactics were even more cunning and underhanded.

While Doro was dominating the arena, Sherlock quietly set up a stall called 'Kelly's Enhancement Shop' in the arena, which mainly sold, enhanced, and enchanted weapons!

Don't ask Sherlock why he named his shop 'Kelly's Enhancement Shop' instead of 'Sherlock's Enhancement Shop'. It's just a tribute to his youthful days as one of the eight million warriors.

To better match his shop's name, Sherlock actually created an enhancement machine, which is similar to the enhancement machine in the game "Disconnect Warriors"—it really has a chance to enhance weapons to the point of breaking!

Of course, reality isn't a game, and the so-called enhancement only gives you a chance to upgrade your weapon to the maximum level of the materials you've used. After all, you can't make an ordinary iron sword have properties comparable to tungsten steel.

But enchanting is completely different. Sherlock can add a property to a weapon each time, which can be elemental, simply sharpness, or even automatic repair, etc. It can be completely customized.

As for the final sale of weapons, that was even more underhanded.

For those skilled in ranged combat, Sherlock would recommend firearms with bayonets; for those skilled in melee combat, Sherlock can also customize weapons similar to the Exploding Blade from Naruto.

Even if you know nothing, Sherlock can still customize a rogue warrior suit for you, making you both strong and resilient, capable of killing your opponent even with minimal effort.

In short, there's nothing you can't buy here, only things you haven't even thought of!

Not only that, Sherlock also accepts custom orders, although these items are relatively expensive. But as always, you just need to tell him what you need, and Sherlock can almost perfectly fulfill it.

With Doro as a living advertisement, Sherlock's shop did fairly well, especially in weapon enhancement and enchanting. However, the demand for weapon sales and item customization was not as high.

However, the real catalyst for Sherlock's shop's explosive growth was when Sherlock personally took his four self-forged "magic swords" into battle and crushed his opponents. In an instant, Sherlock's shop became an instant success.

As for what these four demonic swords are? It's quite simple. Sherlock named them Fire of Joy, Frost of Sorrow, Thunder of Madness, and Earth of Calm.

The four demonic swords combined were called the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation by Sherlock, which was said to be unstoppable. In less than an hour, Sherlock, while cosplaying as the sword immortal from the rabbit's side, stood still and drank coffee, and broke through the entire arena without even moving a step.

Such a record caused Sherlock's shop to quickly become a hot seller of weapons and custom items.

Unsurprisingly, the four 'magic swords' became the 'treasures of Sherlock's shop'.

For the warriors in the arena, Sherlock's presence was indeed very popular. After all, whether it was enhancement, enchantment, or even weapon sales and item customization, what Sherlock wanted was never money, but the most ancient form of barter trade.

And the stranger the item, the more valuable it is to Sherlock.

In addition, the gambling-like nature of item enhancement, where success or failure is possible, deeply immersed these warriors, who, despite their limited education, were the most thrill-seeking warriors in all of Asgard.

Sherlock also got to see the biodiversity of Asgard during these three days.

Some people are obsessed with upgrading their gear, and eventually, all they have left besides their underwear is a broken wooden stick they picked up by the roadside.

Some people are blessed with incredible luck, their entire bodies shimmering with an enhanced glow, making them look like legendary 'heroes'.

Someone squandered their entire fortune to acquire a set of fiery knight armor that looked like hell, with flames constantly burning on their body. In the end, they managed to faint from the heat and end up in the hospital.

Of course, if we're really talking about what's most memorable, Sherlock's impression of one particular item customization is undeniably profound.

It was an order from a female warrior who requested a custom-made toy called "Purple Mood," exclusively for women.

Logically speaking, such a thing should be available everywhere, whether in Asgard or on Earth. It wouldn't necessarily leave a deep impression on Sherlock, but there's absolutely no need for him to come and commission it.

But this female warrior's request was unusually bizarre.

She demanded that this purple mood charm must be able to play music from the user's mind when in use, and the louder the better!

What kind of crazy request is this?

After hearing this request, Sherlock's gaze towards the female warrior who had come to order the custom-made item began to change strangely. Goodness, it's hard to imagine what kind of mental state she was in to come up with and make such a request.

On the other hand, if you accidentally start thinking about random things while using this thing, and then inexplicably start thinking about some strange songs... that's too much to bear, Sherlock can't even imagine it.

However, Sherlock ultimately complied with the request and commissioned this alchemical artifact, which can be considered the most bizarre item in Sherlock's life.

Even the price was driven down to the lowest possible level. Not for any other reason than that the female warrior's mental state was enough to make Sherlock feel strange.

Of course, during these three days, Sherlock also witnessed the various unorthodox development paths of Asgard's magical technology through barter.

What impressed Sherlock the most was a prop with cat ears.

This thing has two functions. One is that it can transform the wearer into a catgirl. It's a pure catgirl with no cat abilities whatsoever; it only imitates the appearance.

Secondly, it's practically defying the heavens, allowing a person to transform directly into a cat! And be exactly like a cat; as long as the cat ears on their head don't fall off, even if Odin came, he wouldn't be able to tell the user's disguise!

The only problem is that when this thing is transformed into a cat, it's basically impossible to remove on your own without mastering alchemy. You can only hope that an outsider discovers it and helps you remove the cat ear prop.

Sherlock calls it the ultimate weapon against Fury, after all, what could be more tempting than letting Fury transform directly into the most primal Fury?

All I can say is that, no matter which universe or planet, groups like the Fury fan will never disappear; the only difference might be the things they fantasize about.

After all, before his transmigration, Sherlock had even seen people who controlled cockroach girls and giant mushrooms.

Chapter 120 Going Home and PTSD Regarding the Ancient One

Sherlock's shop was only open for three days, but those three days had a profound impact on the entire Asgardian arena.

Some people became obsessed with upgrading their skills, eventually accumulating a mountain of debt and ending up with nothing but underwear and a wooden stick. By relentlessly honing their skills, they eventually knocked out their opponents in an exhibition match while still wearing underwear and wielding a wooden stick, becoming the talk of the town for a time.

Some people, clad in gleaming armor, were so overconfident in their gear that they were severely injured in an exhibition match, ultimately leading to their tragic forced retirement.

Some female warriors, who were originally known for their temper, became gentler day by day, while others, who were originally calm and peaceful, became more irritable day by day because of the weapons and equipment they carried, and thought about doing something with their Gatling guns every day.

However, none of this has anything to do with Sherlock anymore, because according to the plan, today is the day the Ancient One will bring him back to Earth.

Therefore, early in the morning, Sherlock got ready and stood in the hall with Doro, Thor, and Odin, who had also made a great haul, waiting for the Ancient One to arrive.

With a flash of sparks, a portal opened in the royal palace hall of Asgard, and the smiling figure of the Ancient One stepped out of the portal.

When the Ancient One saw Sherlock holding Doro, he greeted Sherlock with a smile.

Good morning! Looks like you're doing well in Asgard!

Sherlock responded to the Ancient One with only a huge eye roll and didn't say anything more. The Ancient One didn't care about Sherlock's reaction either, since, strictly speaking, the Ancient One had tricked Sherlock again.

Ignoring Sherlock's eye roll, the Ancient One chuckled and chatted with Odin for a while before beckoning Sherlock to come back with him. Sherlock didn't hesitate and turned to say goodbye to Odin and the others.

Ignoring Thor, who kept winking at him and gesturing to remind him not to forget to deliver the message, Sherlock followed the Ancient One into the portal and returned to Earth once again.

The instant the portal closed, Sherlock took a deep breath before smiling and speaking to the Ancient One.

"Finally back! I missed the slightly polluted air on Earth!"

Faced with Sherlock's antics, the Ancient One didn't say much. She simply sat back down behind her coffee table, poured herself and Sherlock a cup of tea, and then spoke to Sherlock.

"What are you planning to do next? I've noticed Thor keeping giving me meaningful glances. Is something going on between you two?"

Upon hearing the Ancient One's words, Sherlock waved his hand and said to the Ancient One.

"What big deal could I possibly have with that brute? It's all just trivial stuff. But speaking of which, I really do need your help with this."

After saying that, Sherlock took out a letter from his four-dimensional pocket and placed it on the coffee table before continuing to speak to the Ancient One.

"That Saul guy is having a secret affair and asked me to deliver a letter to Jane, but I don't know where Jane is, so I can only ask you for help."

At this point, Sherlock rubbed Doro's head, who was intently eating Asgardian fruit while sitting in his lap, before continuing to speak to the Ancient One with a chuckle.

"As for my next plans, I'll just go back and live my life peacefully. I'll take advantage of the time to renovate my bathroom."

As Sherlock spoke, he patted his four-dimensional pocket, which was filled with a lot of raw materials and medicinal herbs that Thor had bought for him to modify the bathhouse.

The Ancient One did not refuse Sherlock's request. She simply opened a portal the size of a bucket, threw the letter on the coffee table into the portal, and then looked at Sherlock with a smile.

"Would you like me to take you home?"

Upon hearing the Ancient One's words, Sherlock looked at her with a hint of wariness, raising his eyebrows slightly. After all, the Ancient One knew he had the Anywhere Door, so there was no need for her to specially send him back to Earth.

Sherlock suspects that the Ancient One is trying to trick him again.

Little did anyone know, the Ancient One actually had a slight intention to trick Sherlock this time, and even wanted to help Sherlock avoid trouble. After all, Sherlock never noticed the green light emanating from the Eye of Agamotto on the Ancient One's chest.

"no need!"

After thinking for a long time, Sherlock directly refused the Ancient One, then a smile appeared on his face as he continued speaking to her.

"Perfect opportunity to test out my new toy!"

As Sherlock spoke, he pulled out the Stormbreaker, which he had made on Nidavellir, from his four-dimensional pocket. Clearly, Sherlock intended to test the Stormbreaker's ability to open the Bifrost.

Seeing the Stormbreaker in Sherlock's hand, the Ancient One showed no surprise. Instead, she looked at Sherlock, who was fiddling with the Stormbreaker, with amusement and asked him a question.

"you sure?"

Faced with the Ancient One's question, Sherlock's vigilance reached its peak, and he spoke to the Ancient One with a solemn expression.

"I'm sure!"
