"What the hell?!"

Looking at the extra spells on the spell bar, Carl was stunned.

If this dream space could break through the limitation of intelligence and allow him to prepare all the spells he has learned into the spell bar, then he...

"Tsk, it seems that the improvement is not that big. At most, it can deal with more emergencies."

As an artificer, the highest level spell that Carl can learn is only the 5th level, and there are not many spells that an artificer can learn.

"Alas~, what a pity, my IQ is not suitable for becoming a mage, otherwise this would be a pretty good cheat."

Patting his cheeks, Carl stopped fantasizing about those unrealistic things and instead began to manifest all the spells he mastered in the dream world.

"Well, the spell bar really includes all these spells. This way, I don't have to adjust the spells awkwardly when encountering emergencies."

Looking at the floating magic runes in the sky of the dream world with satisfaction, Carl put his hands on his hips and indulged himself for a while.

"Oh right, since magic is possible, then the magic infusion ability of the artificer..."

With a thought, a crossbow appeared in Carl's hand.

Immediately afterwards, azure magic patterns appeared on the crossbow.

"In addition to rapid-fire weapons, I also have the ability to inject magic into weapons and copy magic items. According to the current situation, I should copy the alchemy pot and dimension bag for use."

The rebound weapon infusion can make the hand axe fly back after hitting the enemy, which is equivalent to adding the passive effect of Captain America's shield to the weapon.

The ability to copy magic items allows Carl to create certain magic items out of thin air for use.

"The only problem is that the number of infusion items I can currently maintain is only two."

If he wanted to copy a magic item, Carl's weapon would have to be freed from the magic.

After thinking it over, Carl decided to ask Hope for his opinion after he woke up.

If they could find some materials, he could also transform their weapons into real magic items during the infusion, which would leave Carl's infusion slot free.

Of course, the situation can also be reversed.

However, whether it is the alchemy pot or the dimensional bag, the materials required do not seem to be produced in this dungeon.

Shaking his head, Carl recalled the knowledge he had learned in the past, and prepared to replicate a sample of all the injection methods he knew in the dream world.

But replicating these infusions is not as easy as the previous continuous-fire weapons. Perhaps Carl's memory is not particularly accurate, and some infusion abilities will suddenly disappear after he has completed the construction.

So Carl could only dig deep into his past memories and try to complete the missing parts through basic principles.

Time passed quickly, and when Carl finally perfected the infusion models of the alchemy pot and dimensional bag, he suddenly felt that he should wake up.

…

When he opened his eyes, the first thing Carl saw was Hope's flaming red thighs.

They were straight and overlapping in front of his eyes. With the help of the dim light, Carl could even clearly see the lines on the skin.

'Wait, now that I saw Hope's thighs, she is now...'

Carl imagined their current posture in his mind, and he felt a surge of energy and blood rushing uncontrollably toward his lower body.

Carl had just awakened, and after this blessing, he felt that he might be able to go head-to-head with the armor next to him.

'If your heart is as clear as ice, you won't be startled by the sky falling. If you are calm even in the face of change, you will be relaxed and peaceful...'

It’s not like Carl had never been in love in his previous life. He had even exceeded all the experiences that an adult male should have.

In this life, due to the issue of supernatural powers, rather than satisfying his needs, he hopes to make progress on the path of a professional and drive a mecha as soon as possible.

Love and the like really take up too much energy. The world is big and you won’t die if you don’t fall in love.

But as a fourteen-year-old boy full of vigor and vitality, even though Carl had tried his best not to associate it with the opposite sex, his body reacted violently to it.

"Could it be the influence of my ancestors? I heard that my great-great-great-grandfather was a high-level half-orc druid, and my grandfather and grandmother also have half-orc blood. Although my father is a human, his physique is far above the average human level. Could it be that I have inherited some of these factors?"

Curling up, Carl tried his best not to let Hope notice his protruding parts.

A teammate reacted to someone after waking up...

Carl felt that if the other party knew about this, he would be ashamed to live like a human being.

As he was changing his posture, Hope seemed to notice Carl's movements. He suddenly opened his eyes and turned over and sat up.

"Huh~, what a mistake. I think I completely fell asleep."

As he said this, Hope shook his head, trying to wake up quickly.

"Are you going out hunting later? Do you want me to make some tools for you first?"

Because the current posture was a bit strange, Carl tried to use this topic to divert Hope's attention.

"Hmm? You can also make props? Like you did with the crossbow before?"

Sure enough, Hope's attention was drawn to Carl's topic.

"No, the modification method is a little different from the hand crossbow. I can also directly copy certain magic items for use. According to our current situation, I think the magic items we need most are the alchemy pot and the dimension bag."

"The former can produce about 36 liters of fresh water or 54 liters of salt water per day, and the latter allows us to load items with a mass of no more than 200 kilograms and a volume of no more than 64 cubic feet."

Carl and Hope's long-term goal is to return to the surface world, but given the current situation, their top priority now is to find a way to survive.

The most important thing for survival in the wild is to maintain the intake of calories, water and salt.

Things like vitamins can be given a lower priority.

But a stable source of these three things must be secured as soon as possible.

"Magic is really amazing."

Looking at Carl in surprise and doubt, Hope's expression is now wonderful.

She had never been treated like this when she was in Zhuomu. She often had to carry an axe and "trade" with others for food, fresh water and salt.

"Can you do it now? Do you need me to do anything?"

As he spoke, Hope shrank back, making more space in the hole for Carl.

"I can only maintain two infusions now. Once the alchemy pot and the dimension bag are made, the infusion effect attached to this weapon will dissipate."

"If possible, next time we go out exploring, in addition to hunting, we should also search for special minerals or gems."

"I also know a technique called [Returning Weapon], which can make your hand axe return to your hand after hitting the enemy. Once I find the right materials, I will start to modify and upgrade our weapons."
