Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 454 - 73 Fire Lizard Remodeling

Transforming alien slaves is something many Alchemy Wizards would do.

Alchemy Wizards often enhanced the strength and nerve response of alien slaves, then fitted various high-powered weapons onto them that were inconvenient for Alchemy Wizards to carry. Alternatively, they made special Magic Equipment specifically for the slaves.

These slaves were then called Armed Slaves. Some Alchemy Wizards specialized in combat could even, with the help of Armed Slaves, fight against an entire squad of Wizards.

However, Richard’s plans for transformation were not so extreme.

He set aside his notebook and took out a piece of draft paper and a feather pen from his pocket.

He now needed to finalize the transformations for the Fire Lizards.

"Body enhancement surgery, estimated time might be tight; only a few Company Commanders could undergo the transformation. There should be enough time for nerve response transformations, just find a few Alchemy Wizards to cultivate a batch, control the quality, and that should be fine.

Then there are recovery capabilities and battlefield adaptability; these two should also be achievable, it just might cost some extra money..."

Richard’s feather pen sporadically listed nearly ten directions for transformation on the draft paper. For the specific transformations, he needed to consult with Jolod.

Additionally, the Craftsman single soldier Armor Model One had been upgraded to Model Two.

The performance of the new version of the single soldier armor had improved a lot, but correspondingly, the difficulty of manufacturing the Armor compared to Model One had also increased.

He must start manufacturing immediately, otherwise, the Fire Lizard Battle Group might not be able to complete their re-equipment before the war began.

And regarding weapon designs, Richard also had some ideas.

Though the Fire Lizard Craftsmen had impeccable skills, their imagination when it came to weapons was lacking.

The weapons they designed were all old Fire Lizard Warrior standard issue.

Richard planned to ask Anna to design a batch of superior weapons to bring the Fire Lizard Battle Group’s arsenal into the "Wizards’ era."

Having determined his course of action, Richard immediately began to move.

For the transformation direction of the Fire Lizards, he sent his ideas to Jolod through the Crystal Ball. For the materials needed to transform the single soldier armor, he placed orders directly with the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce.

As for the weapons, he opened another Crystal Ball to get in touch with Anna.

To save time, Richard didn’t even dare spend time visiting the Tower of Truth and Black Tower Wizard Academy to discuss matters face-to-face.

"Your needs are a bit too varied."

Jolod frowned slightly as he looked at the list of requirements Richard had transmitted.

It was easy for Richard to determine the directions for strengthening, but as the executing Wizard, Jolod’s restraint from cursing out loud was already a sign of excellent cultivation.

To be honest, the transformations Richard proposed were not difficult. For Jolod, he could exceed Richard’s standards for each requirement.

But Richard had added a premise to these transformations, which was to affect the Fire Lizards’ lifespan as little as possible.

In Richard’s plan, the current Fire Lizard Battle Group was to be the backbone of his future Fire Lizard Army. And a short-lived consumable did not meet his requirements.

Moreover, such actions could have negative implications, easily leading Fire Lizards to feel like expendables and thus become negligent or intentionally waste his resources.

"If it wasn’t complicated, why would I come looking for you, Master?"

On the other side of the Crystal Ball, Richard smiled cheekily at Jolod.

He also knew the transformation would be quite difficult; otherwise, he wouldn’t have handed it directly to Jolod to deal with.

"You little rascal!"

Jolod laughed and scolded, copying all those requirements into his notebook.

"In a couple of days, I’ll be meeting with some old friends; we old fellows should be able to piece together solutions for your requirements."

Hearing Jolod agree, Richard immediately replied with a smile, "Thank you, Master. Also, Master, you will have to cultivate a batch of those Dragon Beasts I previously asked you to."

"Dragon Beasts?" Jolod paused for a moment, his right index finger unconsciously tapping his temple.

"Oh, that. Sure, how many do you need?"

"Hmm... Let’s try cultivating five hundred for a start."

"How many?"

Jolod nearly thought he had heard wrongly. Five hundred Dragon Beasts? Was his student planning to organize an army?

But quickly, he remembered something Richard had said in the Red Sun World.

An alien army, huh?

Jolod didn’t ponder too deeply and replied with a somewhat pained expression, "I’ll try my best on my end."

Having settled Jolod’s side of things, what remained was the issue of weapons.

Anna’s image was projected from the Crystal Ball, and even after so many years, she looked the same.

"Your requests aren’t too demanding, but what do these ’pending’ items mean?"

Anna, looking at Richard’s projection, asked with some confusion.

Apart from requests for improvements to the Annihilation Gun that fired Annihilation Bombs and designs for bullets with special functions, Richard’s message also included a few ’pending’ options.

Richard explained, "Those are areas where I’m also unsure what to arrange; I left them open for Anna’s suggestions.

You’ve had more contact with Alchemy Wizards in the Golden Gear Society than I, Anna. Do you have any suggestions regarding Magic Equipment?

The enemies I’ll face are a kind of Gestalt Creature."

"Gestalt Creatures..." Anna pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "Then I suggest you use the Spirit Hammer and the Demon-breaking Short Sword.

These two items perform exceptionally well on Armed Slaves. The Spirit Hammer can disrupt the psychic connection between Gestalt Creatures, and the Demon-breaking Short Sword is a versatile weapon suited for any type of enemy.

Additionally, I suggest you incorporate your Mountain Rune into the Spirit Hammer’s Rune Array."

"This should enhance the power of the Spirit Hammer."

Richard had no objections to Anna’s suggestion, and the two quickly began discussing the details of the weapon.

Anna was very interested in the Annihilation Gun.

The design of the Annihilation Bomb was in keeping with Richard’s design style, replacing reusability with ultimate cost-effectiveness.

The various special bullets proposed by Richard also gave Anna a sense of deja vu.

She felt that the weapon named the Annihilation Gun by Richard was essentially an alien magic wand, and those special bullets were ready-made spells.

Richard was turning alien slaves into wizards with magic equipment.

"I’ll discuss the design of these bullets with my seniors in the society. It won’t take long to give you an answer.

But I have something on hand that might be useful to you."

As she spoke, Anna took out a magic pocket from a drawer next to her.

"This is a micro-capacity magic pocket that I found by chance. It has the same properties as a magic pocket, but its capacity is exceptionally small, and the production cost has been greatly reduced accordingly.

I had originally dismissed this item as scrap. But your bullets made me see some potential for application.

These micro-capacity pockets could be viable as bullet pouches. What do you think?"

Richard’s face showed surprise; he hadn’t expected Anna to have such a treasure.

"I think it’s feasible too."

Anna nodded slightly, "Alright then, I’ll let you know when there’s news from my side."

The communication ended, and Richard immediately headed to the laboratory.

The defensive secondary gun he had obtained in the Star Realm Fortress was now disassembled into several key components on the test bench.

Among the Pioneer relics Richard had acquired, apart from the land-based floating mother ship, this secondary gun had the highest research value.

The Pioneers’ application of energy was nothing short of miraculous, and this secondary gun was a manifestation of that ability.

Through multiple resonance components, energy would form a structure similar to a magic model in the barrel of the secondary gun. The process was incredibly complex, but also exquisitely delicate. If he could figure it out, Richard felt he wouldn’t have a problem posing as a Master at the Shape-shifting School.

Moreover, if he could understand it, even small floating cities, let alone a Floating City, could be equipped with this type of weapon.

As a defense weapon of the Pioneer civilization, its effect in the Star Realm was absolutely beyond doubt.

As time went by, in just two short months, Jolod finalized the transformation process.

It was impossible for the transformation surgery to not affect lifespan at all, but Jolod had done everything possible to minimize the harm of the transformation.

The transformation surgery was tentatively divided into six steps: muscle strengthening, neural response enhancement, self-healing enhancement, sensory improvement, installation of internal biological metal protection, and Dragon Wings alteration.

Muscle strengthening would enhance the strength and agility of the Fire Lizard, while neural response enhancement would allow the Fire Lizard to react faster and concentrate more quickly.

The sensory improvement gave the Fire Lizard dynamic vision, an expanded olfactory spectrum, and a wide-ranging audible frequency reception.

The internal biological protection was a type of biological metal that would protect the Fire Lizard’s organs and help strengthen their bones.

Finally, the Dragon Wings alteration was to help the Fire Lizard adapt to the terrain and enhance mobility.

These six steps of transformation surgery caused minimal harm to the Fire Lizard, and it was estimated that their lifespan would be somewhat shorter than that of a normal Fire Lizard.

But considering these Fire Lizards were heading to the battlefield, their lifespans were actually much extended.

Once the transformation surgeries were set, Richard immediately rushed to Jolod’s Alchemy Workshop to witness the operations firsthand. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

For better demonstration, the alchemists at the workshop had used a magic potion for rapid healing to speed up the Lizard’s transformation process.

In half a month, all six surgeries were completed.

The process went smoothly, with each participating alchemist being an old wizard engrossed in studies of Synthetic Beasts.

The surgical skills were effortlessly applied with finesse, achieving both effective outcomes and aesthetic quality.

After the surgeries, the Fire Lizard underwent a series of tests under the witness of many wizards.

A Second Level Fire Lizard, after muscle strengthening, achieved significant improvements in speed and agility, so much so that this battle-hardened veteran needed to adjust to its new body to complete the tests.

And the enhanced neural response coupled with dynamic vision allowed it to effortlessly pluck the wings from a flying mosquito without harming the insect itself.

The internal biological metal protection could allow the Fire Lizard to withstand a magic spell with nearly one thousand units of penetration, while the enhanced self-healing allowed it to stop blood and stabilize injuries in time in case of significant wounds like limb amputations or organ damage.

With the aid of a magic potion, it could even feign death to extend its lifespan.

After the testing, the transformed Fire Lizard commented on its current state.

"I feel like I could beat three of my former selves now."

With the surgery effects confirmed, the transformation proceeded rapidly.

The price for transforming a Fire Lizard was five hundred units of Magic Essence, which was already a discount considering Jolod’s involvement and Richard’s bulk business.

For a single Fire Lizard transformation, the price would have been nearly seven hundred units of Magic Essence.

And at that moment, Anna’s message came just in time. She had confirmed various bullets and the designs for two types of weapons.

Richard exchanged the Mountain Rune and a processing order to acquire all the designs for these weapons.

Additionally, the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce had completed the materials purchase.

Mountains of raw materials were transported into Richard’s Secret Realm, where Fire Lizard craftsmen turned them into individual Single Soldier Armors.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.

A year later, an owl carrying a notice from the Military Department arrived at Richard’s Wizard Tower.

"Officer Richard, please report to the Four Rings Tower of Truth within a month.

The war has begun, and I hope you’re prepared."
