I have a Synthesizer

Klein pondered for a while. It wasn't that his threshold for enjoyment was too high. He felt his threshold was quite low, so why wasn't this Magic Addiction working?

He broke off another piece, preparing to try again, but Becky quickly stopped him.

"Klein? You're still eating? Has it gotten you addicted so quickly?"

Klein's hand froze in mid-air. Addicted?

"I'm really not addicted. The amount just now seemed too small. Besides a taste of shit, I couldn't test out anything else, really."

"A taste of shit?"

Under Becky and Eric's suspicious gazes, Klein put the second piece of Magic Addiction into his mouth, but the situation was exactly the same as before.

"Damn it, this is really hard to swallow. It feels like burnt chili oil smeared with shit, bleh!"

Klein clutched his stomach and spat out a mass of liquid—a colorful, oily substance.

Now he was certain. It wasn't that his threshold for enjoyment was too high, but that it genuinely tasted awful.

Looking at the remaining Magic Addiction, Klein had a rough idea of what was going on. A portion of its ingredients were being neutralized and absorbed by his arcane energy. This was a bit strange.

"What exactly is this stuff made of?"

Since tasting it wasn't working, he had other ways to test it.

Grasping the remaining Magic Addiction, Klein activated his Mana Burning state. Pale blue arcane energy began to appear in Klein's hand.

He didn't use Arcane Amplification. With double amplification, the arcane energy would be too unstable to conduct a proper test.

Under the disintegration of the chaotic arcane energy, the Magic Addiction gradually began to change, transforming from its original jelly-like form into two components.

One part was an oily, iridescent liquid, the same as what Klein had just spat out. Although the color looked beautiful, it genuinely tasted like shit.

The other part caught Klein's attention: a pale blue powder.

Klein wasn't sure what the liquid was, but he was very familiar with this pale blue powder.

"Arcane Dust!"

Arcane Dust was essentially partially formed, solidified arcane particles. When Klein created Arcane Crystals, the chaotic arcane energy first transformed into this Arcane Dust.

This substance was still quite a distance from becoming a Tier 1 arcane particle, but it was a genuine form of solidified arcane energy.

In the potions Klein made, whether it was the Mysterious Potion or the Ethereal Elixir, Arcane Crystals were used. This was where they were similar to Magic Addiction.

The only difference was that his two potions required a much larger quantity of Arcane Crystals than this Magic Addiction.

"Such a small amount of powder can create a large piece of Magic Addiction. If I sold my Arcane Crystals to them, wouldn't I become rich?"

A wild idea popped into Klein's head, but he quickly rejected it. He couldn't bring himself to conspire to create something akin to drugs, even for profit.

Because he still had a conscience. As someone educated under the red flag in his previous life, drugs were the most unacceptable thing to him.

This was also the first time Klein had seen someone other than himself create Arcane Crystals.

Knowing the composition of Magic Addiction, Klein roughly understood why it had no effect on him.

The effects of the Mysterious Potion were far stronger than Magic Addiction. He was constantly experiencing the stimulation of chaotic arcane energy.

A large part of Magic Addiction's enjoyable effect relied on the stimulation of chaotic arcane energy.

After deducing this, Klein's first reaction was that his father, Asmond, might have created this Magic Addiction.

Asmond's public identity was that of an ordinary professor at the academy, but his true identity was the vice president of the Jess Society. Judging from the aura he sensed, his father's strength should exceed that of a Tier 5 titled powerhouse.

Originally an arcane professor, and the Jess Society possessed a vast collection of ancient arcane texts. Even Klein himself had learned many arcane spells from the Jess Society's texts.

A general was certainly a titled powerhouse and definitely possessed the ability and strength to carry out this task.

Someone who had asked this question naturally had a greater probability of doing this thing.

… …

What interested Klein wasn't Magic Addiction. He didn't care about its effects or how many people it harmed.

What he cared about was the person who could create Arcane Dust. What stage had their research on Arcane Crystals reached? He wanted to know all of this.

He was walking too lonely a path in the way of arcane magic. If there was a chance to communicate, no matter what kind of person the other party was, he wanted to ask them about their thoughts.

Klein placed the powder and liquid into separate potion bottles, raised the colorful bottle, and asked the two.

"Do you know anything about this colorful liquid?"

Becky shook her head. She was a dedicated combat member and had little to do with potions and other research.

"Never seen it."

Eric was the same. Although he had a wide range of knowledge, he hadn't encountered this liquid.

"Eric, did you ask where they got this Magic Addiction?"

"Of course I asked, but how could they tell a newcomer like me this kind of thing?"

Klein nodded. Eric's situation made sense. There was no reason for a newcomer to know, and they didn't have time to continue investigating this matter.

"Alright, pay attention to the Magic Addiction issue. This thing is unusual and may bring some problems in the future."

"Understood. Are we going back to the capital now?"

"Yes, let's go back!"

After some simple adjustments, Klein and his party boarded the train back to the capital.

… …

On the train from Sodas to the capital, Klein continued his work on synthesizing magical items, but after more than a day, the process was very unsuccessful.

He had synthesized over 100 times. According to the 1% probability, he should have gotten at least one magical item, but no.

"Even a grinder can't save a non-European! God, grant me some European luck!"

Because he couldn't directly take things out of the space ring and put them into the synthesizer, Klein would occasionally take out three weapons and put them into the synthesizer.

However, this behavior, in the eyes of people who didn't know the situation, was a kind of showing off, because he had taken out three different magical items many times.

This behavior was like a child showing off in front of others, 'Look, I have these three toys, look, I have these three, and these three. Hey, I just won't let you see them, haha...'

Others didn't know what the mentality was, but the big brother sitting opposite Klein thought so.

Originally, he was happily chatting with his junior sister, but since this person got on the train, his junior sister's gaze was completely attracted to him. How could he bear this?

The man knocked on the table in front of Klein.

"Hey, mister, you don't need to show off like this just because you have money, right? I know you have many magical items. Can you stop for a while?"

Klein looked at the synthesizer and was stunned for a moment.

Then he looked at the person sitting opposite him. Show off? He thought about his actions just now and suddenly realized that if he thought about it from another perspective, he did look a bit like he was showing off.

"Sorry, I was organizing things and didn't expect to bother you."

Klein was very polite. This attitude made Eric and Becky look sideways. What's wrong with this guy? Why did he suddenly change his personality?

Klein didn't change his personality. It was just that when he was muttering to himself, the other party interrupted him, and he accidentally clicked synthesize, and it really came out.

[Pruning Shears (Magical Item) + Automatic Fruit Knife (Magical Item) + White Scale Sword (Magical Item)]

[You have obtained the Axe of Destruction (Magic Tool)]

Axe of Destruction

Grade: Magic Tool

Attack: 10-85

Effect 1 - Armor Piercing: Your attacks will ignore 20% of the opponent's defense and shield value.

Effect 2 - Bone Severing: Every time you sever one of the opponent's bones, all of your attributes +1, stacking up to 5 times, lasting until the end of the battle.

A very good weapon, but unfortunately, it is too bulky and has no magic conductivity, so it is not suitable for him, but overall, Klein is very satisfied.

Just now, when the other party spoke to him, he succeeded in synthesizing it. This was his 102nd synthesis. He originally thought he would be unlucky to the end, but he didn't expect that because of the other party's sudden interruption, he actually got a magic tool.

So he was in a particularly good mood just now, and he spoke to the other party in a good-natured manner.

According to the principle that metaphysics can save non-chiefs, and Krypton can change fate, he was able to get the goods, maybe it was the other party's sip of fairy energy just now, so Klein prepared to be more polite to the other party.

The man sitting opposite him didn't expect Klein to be so easy to talk to. Klein had already apologized, so he couldn't say anything.

"It's okay, I'm just saying this, mainly to remind you. If you really want to organize it, then organize it."

After the two finished speaking, they began to organize their schoolwork materials on the train.

Looking at the materials on the table, Klein roughly guessed the identities of the two opposite him. They should also be students of the Royal Academy, but their strength was very weak.

The man in front of him should be from the Elemental Mage Department, and the woman next to him should be from the Warrior Department.

Unlike Klein and the others, who had already reached Tier 2 or even Tier 3 before graduating, these two were genuine ordinary students of the Royal Academy.

Neither of them had become formal professionals yet, and it was difficult for them to fully understand the theories taught by the academy teachers, which was also a portrayal of the majority of students in the academy.
