Preparations before the adventure

Understanding the nature of magic did not make Qian Mei disillusioned, nor did she give up on plans to take advantage of Kyle's abilities.

On the contrary, with greater understanding, the ideas in Qian Mei's mind have become more precise and there are new projects on her agenda. However, these are things for the future and the current priority is to take the first step in the production of equipment.

The most important thing for her is not to recreate the rare materials from the cultivation world. There is also a rich variety of resources and skills here, with enough time she can find substitutes or make adjustments based on her needs.

The true core of everything is ensuring a stable source of spiritual energy and Kyle can take on this task perfectly.

With Qian Mei's intervention, Kyle's lesson went from a theoretical class on magic to an academic discussion on the creation of materials with modified attributes; The ultimate goal is to provide Kyle's creations with properties related to spiritual energy.

In this way, even if the quality of the materials is the lowest, Qian Mei can combine them with local resources to create equipment powered by spiritual energy.

The next step was experimentation on changes in the characteristics of the materials created. The process was long and tedious, with constant failures accompanied by the couple's exhaustion after expending all their magical power over and over again.

As a dryad, Qian Mei has the ability to absorb vitality from plants to recover, so the trio ended up deep in an artificial forest north of the city.

With the support of the forest and the energetic Anna who kept the beasts away from them, the tests continued without problems and when the sun was about to set, the couple's constant effort bore fruit.

Kyle managed to modify the electrical conductivity of metals so that instead of allowing the movement of electrons, it did so with what he defined as "spiritual particles"

The truth is he just made a random attempt, Kyle never expected that the power of a [void wizard] could achieve something so absurd. It's as if he put a piece of paper full of random theories in a black box and then magic took care of making sense of them and making them come true.

However the success rate is extremely low and a high degree of logic is needed when imagining changes of this type. Unfortunately, Kyle has been in this world for a long time and cannot accurately remember the advanced knowledge of the modern world.

With a new starting point he made several attempts, but the high consumption of magic added to the increasing mental exhaustion, made it impossible to continue with the experiments.

In the end they created two new materials: spiritual energy-conducting copper and spirit-preserving ink. None of them have a talent for names and they simply used the acquired property along with the original name.

The first allows the circulation of spiritual energy and is perfect for creating artifacts, but the quality of the material is terrible and will be destroyed after one or two uses.

The second was made under the guidance of Qian Mei and has the ability to store a small portion of spiritual energy. The tentative use is the making of low-rank talismans.

Back home, after preparing a sumptuous dinner, Kyle made several batches of materials, half of which were spirit stones.

And under Qian Mei's apologetic gaze, he fell completely exhausted on the bed in his room.

Anyone who saw him might think he had a satisfying night in the red light district, but the reality is just physical and mental exhaustion after abusing his abilities.

As for Qian Mei, after a short rest she returned to her one hundred percent and dedicated the entire night to making equipment with the help of Anna.

The little girl may be quite naughty, but her physical attributes are beyond standard and It is very easy to shape metals as if they were dough. Under the promise of making her a matching sword with Kyle, Qian Mei tricked her into helping her obediently.

When dawn came, a series of carefully crafted pieces of equipment rested on the work table. Qian Mei's craftsmanship is not bad and the appearance of each piece is quite beautiful.

Twelve copper daggers with a spirit stone embedded in the handle, there are various strange patterns carved on them, and they are written in a language unknown to the inhabitants of this world.

A pair of child-sized gauntlets made from the bones of a powerful monster from this world and its main characteristic is hardness and impact resistance. Mei dyed them black with spirit-preserving ink and put various hidden patterns inside.

There is a slot on the top to place a spirit stone that serves as fuel to activate the gauntlets' ability: amplifying the power of the user's blows, allowing them to create long-distance shock waves.

Three swords of different sizes but with the same design, specially made to match by Qian Mei. She put a lot of effort into optimizing these swords and in exchange for reducing the additional effects they can function for a long period of time without being recharged with spiritual energy.

She used three high-quality crystals to make the blade of each sword, at first glance they appear to be made of jade, giving them an exquisite and translucent appearance.

Qian Mei found the crystals among the loot received from the guild and does not know their origin; but after trying them she discovered that they were very suitable for forging.

To the eyes of others they resemble the luxurious decorative swords used by nobles in important ceremonies, but behind that beautiful appearance lies a truly lethal weapon.

Qian Mei added properties to increase sharpness to the extreme and in expert hands they can achieve very good results.

In addition, she hid a personalized pattern in each of them, but due to the lack of materials it is for single use and she left it as a hidden card to save lives.

Finally, three sets of light armor made of the best materials that Qian Mei found. that together with the unique craftsmanship of her world enjoy incredible quality. These are very tight but at the same time comfortable to wear, and can be worn easily under clothing.

Qian Mei looked at the hard work of a whole night with satisfaction. If compared to the works she did in the past, they are just rubbish, but in such limited conditions they are already the best she can do.

After waking up Anna who had fallen asleep halfway, Qian Mei searched the kitchen for the snack that the weakened Kyle prepared for her after hearing that she planned to work at night.

In the end, Qian Mei was so focused that she forgot to eat and now the snack has become breakfast for the two girls.

After taking a shower in the company of Anna, Qian Mei got fully equipped and prepared to go on an adventure. At first she wanted to go alone, but Anna insisted on going with her and at some point she had already stubbornly gotten into her shadow.

Being careful not to make noise, Qian Mei entered Kyle's room, who was still asleep, and left a note on the nightstand informing him that she was going shopping with Anna and that they would most likely arrive at the end of the day.

Taking advantage of Kyle's deep sleep, she shyly approached him and gave him a kiss with the excuse of rewarding herself for her hard work. What she didn't know was that as soon as she left the room, Kyle opened his eyes with a helpless expression.

He never thought that after reaching the North Pole, the first thing he did was not gain new skills but start a romance unexpectedly.

And the most outrageous thing is that she was the first to attack and took him by surprise. After all, they've only known each other for less than three days and there's no need to rush.

For the moment, Kyle decided to look for an opportunity in the future to counterattack, since Qian Mei took the initiative he has the right to defend himself.
