Kain wasn''t originally a superstitious individual, but after transmigrating into a fantasy world and literally reading about skills, items, and spiritual creatures that can influence luck, that changed.
Therefore, before spinning the wheel, Kain exited the System and partook in every superstition he could think of, both from this world and his previous one.
He first began with throwing a pinch of salt, taken from the seasoning rack in his space ring, over his shoulder. Then he lit 4 candles in each cardinal direction of the room.
Then he meticulously washed his body to scrub off any bad luck. He knocked on his wooden bedpost 3 times, and finally ced a dried four-leaf clover he''d found at the orphanage years ago on his chest before lying down and re-entering the Laboratory.
"Okay! I''m ready!"
He pressed the button to spin the wheel while crossing his fingers for good measure.
Kain watched the wheel spin around and around with anticipation until it finally stopped upon a silver section.
"Yes!" Kain screamed while pumping his fist after seeing itnd on one of the only four silver sections.
From this day forward, Kain also unintentionally developed a more superstitious attitude and would even spend a great deal of time and money collecting items and spiritual creatures rted to improving luck.
Suddenly, in a previously empty corner of the room appeared a new set ofboratory equipment.
It has a sleek, cylindrical base constructed from polished, dark metal with many finely calibrated dials and glowing sigils embedded into its surface.
Atop the base is a transparent, dome-shaped chamber made of high-quality ss, within which arge, translucent sphere that radiated shifting, multicoloured lights resembling the aurora borealis, was floating high above.
The rest of the machine included several adjustable mechanical arms, each equipped with sharp tips and needles, that extended into the ss chamber.
At the base of each arm was awork of intricate, gleaming tubes and carved with sigils that pulsed with faint spiritual power.
Finally, simr to the Simtor next to the machine was arge screen, where Kain assumed he could control theb equipment or receive information.
"So what does this thing do?"
*This is a Gic Reconstructor. It allows for the targeted maniption of genes to cause a mutation without undergoing evolution or changing its species*
*However, please note that gic material cannot appear out of nowhere. The Host must work hard to collect arge gic library to make the full use of this equipment.*
Kain tried to think about what the implications of this piece of machinery would be.
Using this machinery, Kain could mass produce mutants.
Spiritual creatures with mutations may have beneficial mutations, like a stronger than average body for its species.Or it may just be a cosmetic mutation, like a different hair or eye colour. However, they could also be disadvantageous mutations, like the mutant Protean that could not upgrade to a higher-level and eventually became Kain''s armor.
However, although not as profound a change as actually undergoing an evolution, changing the genes of a spiritual creature could have a profound impact on its evolution.
For example, the evolution of a Frostreave is determined by its fur colour, with blue fur being the mostmon, and ck and white fur being much lessmon. With this piece of machinery, Kain could in theory mass produce the umon ck and white Frostreaves able to evolve into Gloomfrosts and cierres, respectively.
However, the note about a gic library put a damper on his ns. He couldn''t just let his imagination run wild and begin manipting genes as he wished, all genes he wished to transfer to another spiritual creature must first be found and extracted from a spiritual creature that already exists.
Kain decided to put off testing this piece of equipment for now, he had a bronzeb equipment he could still exchange for. Who knows, maybe there will be something thatpliments the Gic Reconstructor''s abilities.
After activating the voucher, descriptions ofboratory equipment didn''t appear in front of him as he''d expected. Instead, Kain was transported to a dark room that had dozens of pieces ofb equipment under a spotlight.
*Wee to the Interster Lab Emporium, where the collective scientific wisdom of a myriad of gxies is avable for exchange here*
*Currently being shown to you are what would be considered Bronze levelb equipment.*
Kain walked to the nearest piece ofb equipment for exchange. It appeared like a normal sk, but the descriptions said otherwise.
"Essence Distition sk. Amon specialty of the X Nation on X. The sk is designed to distill and purify magical essences and fluids to give a modest boost to its magical properties."
This was the first time Kain had heard anything about other magical worlds. He wished that they hadn''t been censored by the System.
"Aura Calibration Beaker… No thanks"
"Elemental Infusion Vial…don''t want it either…Is this the section for Alchemists?"
"Ah…finally something different. A Sigil Etching Set. This seems more so like it''d be useful for cksmiths…"
"Bronze level equipment really has a huge gap with Silver level equipment huh…I wonder what Gold levelb equipment would be like? Could I destroy worlds with the press of a button?"
Kain continued to move down each aisle, making sure to read every description. After all, he doesn''t know when he''ll get another chance like this and wants to make sure that he makes the best choice.
Like the first description, all of them had their original nations and worlds blurred out, unless the equipment originated from the he currently resided on: Blue Star.
Likely, equipment from Earth also wouldn''t have been censored, but there was no magical equipment on Earth that would meet even the lowest standards of being considered Bronze level equipment.
Finally, after spending what felt like hoursbing through each description, Kain finally narrowed his selection down to three choices that he felt would best meet his needs.
