133: Xiu Jian is just your lie

Safety house!

After purchasing all the necessary Alchemy equipment, Li An returned directly to his safety house.

He then arranged all the purchased Alchemy equipment in the designated room, connecting each piece and attempting a first startup.

Buzz!

As Li An activated the equipment, the unique mechanical sound of Alchemy creations instantly filled the room. Under Li An's gaze, the indicator lights on the control panel lit up one by one, all turning green.

Only then did Li An breathe a sigh of relief, indicating that the equipment was functioning normally and ready for use.

Seeing this, Li An's heart immediately itched. He had obtained the Biological Codex for too long but had never attempted to create any Alchemy items. Now with the equipment and materials in place, he could no longer suppress the urge to try his hand.

So, Li An walked directly to the control panel, but even with his impatience, he forced himself to calm down, replaying the operational details and techniques over and over in his mind.

His Biological Codex was a fusion of Ancient Alchemy and Biology and Technology Specialization. While Ancient Alchemy was acquired through a fragmented Alchemy Blueprint, the Biology and Technology Specialization came from absorbing the memories of the Kryptonian Fiora.

Of the two, Ancient Alchemy naturally held more value, so much so that Li An didn't even know how much more it surpassed the Biology and Technology Specialization. After all, though he initially obtained this method from a fragmented Alchemy Blueprint, it caused him to inherit some unknown and terrifying karma.

To this day, while Li An still doesn't know what that so-called karma truly is, the fact that a mere fragmented blueprint granted him a complete version of Ancient Alchemy shows how terrifying this karma must be.

And it is precisely because of this that Li An is so eager and desperate to improve his strength.

Facing the unknown, he knows nothing, and what he can do is to strive with all his might to improve himself in the present, in what he can see and grasp.

And somehow, after returning to the Paradise this time, Li An often had a premonition, as if something was approaching his location. He didn't know if it was the karma of Ancient Alchemy at work.

Therefore, he could only desperately improve his strength. Even after seeing the Scavenger's special authority, he would use growth deduction and ability reshaping to make his power system more focused and refined.

Of course!

Specialization does not mean singularity, and refinement does not mean inability to integrate other elements. He possesses a terrifying physique, incredible potential, coupled with exaggerated phagocytic power and Kryptonian Gene, making him virtually a walking human weapon.

Among those of the same rank, he holds an invincible belief and fears no one!

Even against beings far stronger than him, he can guarantee his survival, unless it's an overwhelmingly superior force; otherwise, Li An is completely fearless.

Therefore, even with a premonition in his heart, Li An remained fearless. He was already doing his best to improve his strength. If he still couldn't bear this karma, then he would give his all, burning himself out!

At this moment, Li An's mood gradually calmed down. Although everything in the Biological Codex was already deeply ingrained in his mind, he had never operated it firsthand, so he still needed to familiarize himself with it.

Time passed.

He didn't know how long it had been, Li An stood in front of the control panel until, at a certain moment, his hands suddenly moved. His eyes burst forth with an unprecedented light, a look of immense excitement.

It moved!

Li An finally began his first Alchemy. The techniques he currently possessed were quite numerous. In addition to the Alchemy originally recorded in the Biological Codex, he also mastered technology particle manufacturing, anti-gravity flight technology, biological cultivation technology, and so on.

Among these, only the technology particles and biological cultivation technology caught Li An's eye. As for anti-gravity flight technology, it had almost no practical value within the Paradise.

What Li An was currently attempting to create was technology particles. This creation possessed certain intelligent attributes and was composed of various rare fibers, metals, and other materials. With Fiora's memories, it shouldn't have been difficult for Li An to create technology particles, but because it was his first attempt, he had to constantly ensure that no operational errors occurred during the manufacturing process.

With this apprehension, even with Fiora's memories, Li An spent a full five hours to initially create a set of technology particles.

One by one, sleek, jet-black spherical objects were placed by Li An on the control panel. There were fifteen black spheres in total, currently in a standby state, ready for activation and immediate use by Li An.

Activating the black spheres was quite simple; one only needed to call out their name. However, Li An, who suffered from naming difficulties, got stuck at this step. Finally, looking at the appearance of the black particles, he came up with a name.

The next second, Li An looked at the black particles on the control panel and softly called out.

"Kuroko."

Instantly, as Li An's words fell, the fifteen jet-black spheres lit up with a bright glow, a clear sign of activation.

"Come."

At this, seeing the activated black particles, Li An slightly raised his hand, making a gesture of a five-fingered, empty grasp.

And with Li An's action, the fifteen black spheres on the control panel immediately reacted, instantly flying into the air and towards Li An's palm.

Clang, clang, clang!

Immediately, crisp collision sounds echoed in the air. The forms of these particles suddenly began to transform, and by the time they completely gathered in Li An's hand, they had already become a greatsword.

Clang!

The moment the greatsword formed, its blade vibrated intensely, causing a piercing screech to resound in the air.

"Excellent!!!"

Seeing the might of the greatsword formed by Kuroko, Li An's face immediately broke into a satisfied smile.

Each sphere of the technology particles was an individual entity, yet they could connect to form a single whole, possessing a certain degree of toughness and strength. In Li An's view, this made them an unparalleled choice for a weapon.

Of course!

This was merely one of his methods, or rather, a means to mislead others.

Carrying a greatsword could give many people the illusion that he was a Contractor specializing in swordsmanship. But imagine the expression on Li An's opponent's face when, after finally defeating Li An in his sword-wielding state, they suddenly discover that Li An's true strength lies in his physique?

This idea had been brewing in Li An's mind for a long time, but conditions were never quite ripe. Now, however, it could finally be realized.
