Chapter 382

【Derived world: Fullmetal Alchemist opened. This world has no abnormalities, spatial coordinates are stable, and it has been reset, consuming 0.021 ounces of Spacetime Power.】

【According to the consumed Spacetime Power, the contractor's minimum comprehensive evaluation in this world must reach C-rank.】

【Prompt: The Hunter will undergo an assessment in this world. No main quest, no hunting quest. Return after the promotion quest is completed.】

【Remaining attempts for promotion quest (2/3). If all three fail, the Hunter will be demoted to a staff member.】

Su Xiao opened his eyes. He was currently sitting on a bed, wearing a set of gray-white clothing that was very loose.

A feeling of restraint came from his hands. Looking down, he saw his hands were bound by an iron plate. The iron plate was rectangular with two round holes, somewhat similar to an ancient wooden cangue.

Su Xiao tried to break free from the iron cangue; he could break free, but he did not do so.

Looking around, he was in a prison cell. The facilities in the cell were very simple: a bed, a toilet, and nothing else.

There were bloodstains on the walls and iron bars of the cell. Su Xiao twitched his nose; the bloodstains were very fresh.

Xiang Bubu-tini was not in the cell, but he was not far from Su Xiao. Xiang Bubu Wang was in the next cell, 'receiving good treatment,' bound by iron chains as thick as an arm and wearing an iron muzzle.

A guard stood outside the cell where Su Xiao was located. The guard was wearing a blue military uniform, and the firearm in his hand was already loaded.

"A prisoner, huh? What a special identity."

Su Xiao got up and walked to the iron bars. As soon as he moved, the guard was greatly alarmed, aiming his firearm at Su Xiao.

"Do... do not move! Sit down!"

The guard had a fierce-looking but cowardly appearance, and the hand holding the gun was shaking.

"Someone come! The Crimson Alchemist is being unruly again."

The guard let out a shout. Rapid footsteps approached, and over a dozen guards rushed over, standing outside the cell, watching Su Xiao in battle readiness.

"Hehe, are you going to kill someone again?"

A soft laugh came from the next cell. Hearing the voice of the owner, Su Xiao recalled a name in his mind: Solf J. Kimblee, the Crimson Alchemist, his cellmate.

Su Xiao was not bewildered at this moment. This derived world was simply a divine development; he was transmitted into a prison as soon as he appeared, and he became a prisoner.

Sensing the surroundings, there were no other contractors in the prison. It seems that because of the promotion quest, he received special 'care.'

A memory suddenly appeared in his mind.

Bai Ye (Crimson Alchemist)

Participant in the Ishval Extermination War.

State Alchemist, participated in 17 battles large and small. Due to long-term participation in war, his mental state became unstable, and he killed a large number of Amestris soldiers (soldiers of his own country).

……

After these memories appeared in his mind, the Demon Seal on the back of his right hand changed, becoming the appearance of an alchemy array diagram.

Reincarnation Paradise disguised him as an alchemist. This is because he has mastered Alchemy; disguising alchemy bombs as alchemy is simple enough.

Moreover, Su Xiao also received a piece of information: if he holds a Philosopher's Stone, he can manufacture alchemy bombs while ignoring materials, but there is a prerequisite: if he wants to manufacture the Sun God Apollo, he needs to pay with Soul Crystals (Small).

After inquiring, he learned that the Philosopher's Stone and Soul Crystals have essential differences; the quality of the two is not even in the same dimension. The Philosopher's Stone cannot be compared to Soul Crystals.

Checking the special alchemy bombs in his storage space, there were still eleven left, enough to use.

"Don't be nervous. I just sat for too long and wanted to move around."

Su Xiao observed the situation around him and sat back on the bed. Those guards clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

The cell was opened, and a few guards came in to clean up the bloodstains. After wiping the bloodstains clean, they left in a hurry.

After all the guards left, the cellmate next door spoke up.

"Crimson, your Philosopher's Stone is used up, right? It seems your chance of leaving is even smaller. Those guys will abandon useless chess pieces."

Solf J. Kimblee laughed softly. What surprised Su Xiao was that his identity was actually a friend of Solf J. Kimblee; the two had similar alchemy natures and had cooperated during the war.

"Who knows? But before you talk nonsense, you should think about your own situation. I only killed ordinary soldiers, while you blew up officers. If anyone is going to die, you will die first."

His current identity is a very good cover. The quest hasn't appeared yet, so Su Xiao is prepared to wait and see how things develop.

Solf J. Kimblee laughed loudly and said:

"I have a premonition that the two of us will be able to get out soon. The array diagram for this country is almost drawn, but there aren't enough sacrifices yet. If we're talking about killing, no alchemist is more suitable than the two of us. Life in prison is so leisurely that it makes me want to kill. Sleeping now."

Solf J. Kimblee stopped talking. This guy isn't unable to get out; he just doesn't want to.

Solf J. Kimblee's hobby is killing; he is a war maniac.

Su Xiao lay on the bed in the cell and began to ponder the current situation.

The current point in time should be the beginning of the original work. Listening to Solf J. Kimblee's tone, he should have stayed in the cell for a long time; at the very least, the Ishval Extermination War had passed a long time ago.

Solf J. Kimblee gets out of prison in the middle of the plot. He is still staying in prison now, which means the plot hasn't progressed to that point.

【Entering world: Fullmetal Alchemist】

World Difficulty: LV. 10. Difficult (Difficulty determined based on Hunter level)

World Source: 0% (Will increase as the Hunter explores or interacts with characters in the current world. Calculated with quest difficulty when settling the world to form the final rating.)

World Introduction: The collision of conspiracy and justice, the duel between alchemists and homunculi.

Alchemy: A technique capable of changing the composition and shape of matter and creating another substance. The basic principle is equivalent exchange; the mass and elements of the raw materials and the transmuted substance must be the same, so one cannot transmute metal from water. However, because there are various metal elements in the earth (aluminum, iron, etc.), most combat-style alchemists can obtain materials on the spot.

The process of transmutation is divided into three steps: comprehension, decomposition, and reconstruction.

Alchemists follow one principle: equivalent exchange. A strange substance broke this principle, and that is the Philosopher's Stone.

Philosopher's Stone: The main material is human souls. Souls are a high-level exchange medium and can replace most substances in the world. Alchemists carrying a Philosopher's Stone can ignore equivalent exchange, and the power of alchemy is greatly enhanced.

Promotion Quest: Steal the Power of God (Fake)

Main Quest: None

World, start!

……

After seeing the world introduction, Su Xiao showed a thoughtful expression. There is no main quest and no hunting quest; this is not a good thing.

Only the promotion quest indicates that the difficulty of this quest is very high. Checking the details of the promotion quest, Su Xiao frowned tightly.
