Chapter 63 - Enchantments
Edited by: Tony_Stark_3000
------------
Sheyan opened his nightmare Imprint to check his current utility points.
[ Utility points: 978000 ]
Although Sheyan used many utility points to exchange for potential points and then used many points in upgrading his abilities to the maximum level, but his scarlett centre has been receiving a large number of customers daily even if there is no equipment and scrolls to sell because of the drinks and foods available inside.
And all the income from the machines has been credited into Sheyan's account.
'With this much utility points, upgrading the equipments of all the pirates shouldn't be a big problem.' Sheyan thought to himself after seeing the amount of utility points he got.
Sheyan once again looked at the pamphlet and remembered one more thing mentioned in the original novel.
'If I pay double the amount while selecting an enchantment then Peigan would give me the alchemy scroll containing that enchantment which can be bought out of this world and can be sold in the nightmare realm for a high price.'
Sheyan's eyes shone with greed once more, if he plays his cards right then not only he can upgrade all the equipments of his pirate group but he can also get the alchemy scrolls which can be sold in nightmare realm for an high amount of utility points and all the money he will spend here will be returned, he will even make a big profit out of it.
"Peigan, I heard you sell alchemy scrolls too." Sheyan looked at Peigan with a smile and spoke lightly.
"Yes my lord, I got enchantment scrolls too, but the price of a scroll is twice the amount of that particular enchantment you want the scroll of." Peigan answered quickly.
"Peigan, I got a big deal for you, I am not talking about 10 or 20 enchantments but 300 enchantments." Sheyan spoke slowly with a big smile while emphasizing the 300.
"Thre-thre- three hundred!!!!" Peigan lost his composure and exclaimed loudly, his breathing and heart beat increased to an all time high.
As people may know, the occupation of an alchemist is a costly thing, for every experiment a large amount of money is required and if the experiment fails then everything goes to the drain, for alchemist money is a very important thing if they want to advance in their carrier as the ultimate dream of an alchemist is to turn any metal into gold, for such a mystical experiment, a heap load of money is required.
Hearing Sheyan say three hundred enchantments, Peigan's mind got filled with golden Guineas, even if this esteemed lord asked for the cheapest enchantments, the profit he will make for doing 300 enchantments should be enough for him to do experiments without any worry for a month atleast.
"But..." A word made Peigan come out of his Dreamland.
"But? But what my lord?" Peigan asked while trembling a little, afraid of losing this big heap of treasure that fell on his head from nowhere.
"But of course this is a business deal and such a big deal at that, I should receive some discount regarding the enchantments, shouldn't I" Sheyan spoke slowly with a scheming smile.
"Yes my lord this Peigan will give you a 10% discount." Peigan spoke after thinking for a moment.
"50% discount." Sheyan spoke without looking at Peigan's face.
"What! My lord please try to understand that the profit I make from enchantments is very small, as small as a toad's eye." Peigan spoke quickly while pinching his fingers to show Sheyan how small of a profit he makes.
"Peigan the enchantments I want are not these low level ones but the advanced ones, preferably the highest ones you can do with your current abilities." Sheyan replied with a smile.
"You mean you want 300 of those advanced ones!!!" Peigan got the shock once more, he felt he might get a heart attack by talking with this esteemed lord.
With the profit from 300 advanced enchantments, he can do any experiment he wants for 5 years without worrying about the funds at all even if he gave Sheyan 50% discount he can still do experiments for 2 and a half years.
"This this, my lord you are not joking with me are you?" Peigan asked with a shaking heart.
"You think I am so free that I will come here to joke with you?" Sheyan asked back with a smile.
"No no my lord, I am sorry for going out of the line." Peigan quickly apologized.
"So do you accept the deal?" Sheyan asked the main thing not minding the apology.
"Yes my lord, I accept the deal but there is a little problem." Peigan nodded quickly then once again made a pinching gesture while saying.
"Oh what is it?" Sheyan asked while raising an eyebrow.
"There are some rules, you can unlock the advance enchantments only if you buy each of the current ones 5 times, then you will unlock the next tier after buying the enchantments of the next tier five times and so on." Peigan quickly explained.
"I can't skip this progress?" Sheyan asked.
"I am sorry my lord but this is a rule, I can't violate it." Peigan bowed and explained.
'Hmm this should be from the influence of nightmare realm, although contestants can influence these characters with their charm, power or money to a large extent but some rules can't be changed.' Sheyan thought to himself.
"Ok no worries." Sheyan replied.
"Mongor, take out all those magical equipments on your body and ask those standing outside to do the same and bring those things inside." Sheyan spoke to mongor standing behind him.
"Yes my lord." Mongor bowed and answered.
Mongor has heard the talk between his captain and this Alchemist, knowing the fact that the captain wants to strengthen those magical treasures given by his captain, his whole body shook in excitement, those things were already so powerful and after this set of enhancements, he can't even imagine how strong they will be.
Mongor quickly went outside and relayed Sheyan's orders.
After 5 minutes he came back inside with 5 more guys holding many things in their hands.
Sheyan casually picked up five pairs of shoes, five shirts and five swords, he also took out the black Grade gun he got from Ammand's loot and conjured four black barreled guns with his liquid metal, he gave everything to Peigan then selected to pay with utility points.
Peigan's eyes shone for a second before his face got filled with joy, maybe he somehow got notified that he has received the money.
Peigan put the things on a table and poured different types of liquid on those things for a minute.
After some time those things shone for a second before returning to normal.
"It's done my lord." Peigan bowed to Sheyan and spoke.
A notification rang in Sheyan's mind.
Sheyan opened it.
[ Peigan's affection towards you has been increased by 1000 points. Current status: Friendly. ]
[ Due to your status, new advanced enhancement has been unlocked in Peigan's laboratory. ]
Sheyan nodded in satisfaction and opened the panel to check new enhancements available.

Sheyan found out that one more enhancement has unlocked after his relation with Peigan increased, he directly bought all the enchantments five times once again.
Peigan once again revealed a happy look and started to tinker with his potions and the items lying on the table.
After a while, enchantment process ended, Sheyan once again received a notification.
[ Peigan's affection towards you has been increased by 3000 points. Current status: well-acquainted. ]
[ Due to your status, new advanced enhancement has been unlocked in Peigan's laboratory. ]
Sheyan opened the list once again to check, one more new enhancement appeared this time, the existing enchantments increased in strength, price also increased accordingly and the amount of gun slot increasable became 2.
Sheyan directly bought them five times once again.
After Peigan did the tinkering with the items and potions once again, Sheyan received the notification once again.
[ Peigan's affection towards you has been increased by 6000. Current status: Respected. ]
[ Due to your status, new advanced enhancement has been unlocked in Peigan's laboratory. ]
Sheyan opened the enchantment panel to check.

Defense enhancement of absorbing additional 25 damage. (Payment of 7000 guineas or 70000 utility points.)

Presently you can only acquire services up to here because alchemist Peigan doesn't have any stronger enchantments than these. ]
Sheyan read the panel and found out that all enchantments have become much stronger than before but when he looked at the last enchantment his eyes widened.
'This.. so an alchemy can even do something like this, this is completely physics-defying.' Sheyan thought to himself.
'Wait, if I bought this effect for liquid metal then its current volume will be doubled, right now I can only make 350 mini Uzis with it which can have 3 full clips each. After doubling it I can make 700 mini Uzis at the same time.'
Sheyan made up his mind to buy this enchantment for liquid metal.
"Peigan, Looks like I can buy the highest enchantments now." Sheyan looked at Peigan and spoke.
"Yes my lord, you can now buy the strongest enchantments I am currently capable of doing." Peigan replied.
Sheyan nodded and gestured to Mongor to put all the items on Peigan's table.
"Enchant all of these." Sheyan spoke.
Then Sheyan looked at the four liquid metal guns lying on Peigan's table, one of the guns became a mini Uzi and two of the guns turned into liquid metal and came back to him.
Peigan looked at this scene with shock.
"My lord, what is this thing?" Peigan asked Sheyan.
"A mysterious metal from my hometown, it can change into anything." Sheyan replied.
"What! A metal which can turn into anything!?" Peigan exclaimed loudly.
"Ca-can it turn into gold?" Peigan asked in a trembling voice, his heart was already beating loudly in excitement.
"Yes it can." Sheyan nodded.
"This! M-my lord, please I beg you, give me this metal, just a little bit please." Peigan directly knelt down and begged Sheyan loudly.
For an alchemist, their only goals are to make any metal turn into gold or make an immortality potion and right now, Peigan saw hope to be able to achieve one of his life long dreams. He is sure if he researched this mysterious metal he should be able to find the formula to turn any metal into gold.
"Huh?" Sheyan didn't expect such a big reaction from Peigan, he didn't know what his liquid metal meant to an alchemist.
"What can you pay for this thing?" Sheyan asked.
"I will do 100 enchantments for you without asking for anything." Peigan quickly answered.
"Make it 200 and add the miracle alchemy effect on top and I can give 10 grams of this thing." Sheyan casually asked for a sky high price.
"I agree!" Peigan answered without any hesitation.
"Huh?" Sheyan got stunned from Peigan's quick answer, he thought Peigan would negotiate and lower the price but he agreed directly.
Now Sheyan regretted asking such a low price.
"Okay, enchant all these equipments and wait for me to bring you the metal for miracle alchemy." Sheyan spoke.
Peigan quickly got up and thanked Sheyan sincerely before enchanting the equipments once again.
"Mongor, go back to the ship and collect all the guns from those guys, I will command the guns to turn into a small block, come back as soon as possible okay." Sheyan instructed Mongor.
"Yes my lord." Mongor bowed and turned around to leave.
"Wait." Sheyan suddenly remembered something and stopped Mongor.
Mongor turned back and waited for Sheyan to speak.
Sheyan turned to Peigan and spoke while pointing at a pair of shoes.
"Enchant that pair of shoes first."
Peigan nodded and quickly enchanted the shoes, after a minute, shoes shone brightly for a moment and returned to normal.
"It's done my lord." Peigan answered.
"Mongor wear these shoes then go to the ship." Sheyan gave the shoes to Mongor.
Mongor quickly wore the shoes and moved towards the door.
*Swish*
Before Mongor could react, he found himself standing outside the house.
He looked around for a moment in confusion then he looked down at his feet and realisation dawned on him.
'These shoes enchanted by that alchemist have become even more magical.' Mongor thought to himself.
He didn't linger any longer and quickly ran towards the ship.
Sheyan looked at the disappearing figure of Mongor and smiled in satisfaction.
'These shoes can increase movement speed by 200 points, a normal healthy male only have 150 movement speed, wearing these shoes can increase the movement speed of a normal male by more than twice the amount. Even Mongor's original movement speed should be only 200 or something, after wearing these shoes it has doubled.'
A/N: movement speed calculating formula: Agility x 30.
