Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

In Kane's room

He controlled the iron sphere in his hand, aiming it at the backyard outside the window.

The sphere slowly floated from Kane's hand, and as the magic power surged in, the jet hole at the tail instantly spewed gas, rapidly propelling the sphere out the window.

After controlling the sphere to turn a circle in the air, it fell into the backyard, where the iron ball cracked open.

A burst of bright light erupted from the cracks in the iron ball, instantly flooding the entire backyard.

When Kane controlled the iron ball to crack open, he had already covered his eyes with his hand.

This mechanical device was equivalent to a flashbang, one that could be directionally controlled for precise landings.

Even though he didn't look directly at the intense light just now, from behind his covered eyes, he could still feel the glow, indicating that this flashbang was indeed powerful.

Seeing his first creation perfectly constructed, Kane felt very excited inside, as this represented his complete entry into the field.

He couldn't help but stretch lazily, leaning back in his chair.

His stomach was rumbling with hunger.

After all, it was already evening, and time flew by when one got engrossed in something.

He pushed open the door of the room and walked into the living room.

Longbei and Meizike had already gone upstairs to sleep.

On the coffee table in the living room were some bread and various jams, which seemed to have been prepared for Kane by Longbei and the others long ago.

After devouring the bread on the table, Kane returned to his room.

Looking at his bed, which was completely occupied by Cotton Candy, it seemed that once it started resting, it couldn't help but expand to the most comfortable extent.

Watching Cotton Candy's soft and smooth Cloud Body, a bold idea popped into Kane's mind.

He directly took the pillow and placed it on Cotton Candy, then slowly lay down on the cloud-like body.

His whole body sank directly into the cloud, and though Cotton Candy seemed to sense Kane, it didn't wake up and continued to snore peacefully.

So comfortable.

On Cotton Candy's body, Kane happily closed his eyes.

...

In the morning, warm sunlight shone on Kane's face.

The early morning dew, mixed with the fresh scent of plants and the earthy smell, lingered at the tip of his nose.

"Buzz buzz buzz"

It seemed to be the sound of a fly's wings flapping, constantly buzzing around Kane's ears.

The various sounds around him forced Kane to open his eyes.

Ah, the sunlight was so glaring.

Wait

Shouldn't it have been the ceiling?

He quickly sat up and looked around.

At some point, Kane found himself sleeping in the garden. He looked under him.

Sure enough, Cotton Candy was floating around the backyard, absorbing dew from the garden plants.

Since Cotton Candy deliberately flew very steadily, Kane didn't wake up.

It seemed that, sensing Kane had woken up, Cotton Candy gave a greeting.

"Beep chirp"

"Yes, yes, good morning to you too. Now, could you take me back to the room?"

Upon hearing Kane's words, Cotton Candy slowly and leisurely flew back into the room.

After washing up in the room, Kane came to the living room.

According to the current time, Longbei and the others should be awake, but they weren't in the living room; they must have gone out.

Because on the dining table, Kane's breakfast had already been placed there.

After finishing breakfast, he might have gone back to his room.

He planned to spend the whole morning redesigning his launcher to the appearance and functionality he desired.

Sitting at the desk, he controlled the magic power to construct the launcher.

As he dismantled the launcher bit by bit, the various parts of the launcher and their functions imprinted themselves in Kane's mind as a blueprint.

First, he removed the magazine from the launcher, as Kane could directly create bullets in the launch port, eliminating the need for such a thing.

Then he modified the original firing trajectory used for the crossbow arrow, sealing it completely and molding a spiral thread around it.

Subsequently, he eliminated the magic rune initially used for firing ammunition, as it couldn't be constructed at all once the skill stone was removed.

He constructed the magic circuits he had long envisaged to replace the function of the rune.

Afterwards, he did a simple assembly, turning the launcher into a weapon resembling a handgun.

Looking out the window towards the backyard, a log had already been erected in the open space by Kane.

He constructed a cone-shaped bullet at the end of the launcher's trajectory, aiming it at the log in the backyard and pulling the trigger.

The magic power erupted in the circuit, propelling the bullet out of the trajectory. The spiral thread on the trajectory fit perfectly with the pattern on the bullet, causing it to spin rapidly.

Since magic power was used as propulsion, the recoil and sound were minimal.

A sound emanated from the log as the newest bullet directly penetrated the log's body.

The piercing power of the cone-shaped bullet was significantly higher than the previous crossbow arrows, but the absence of rune augmentation meant that more magic power was required than before.

However, compared to the higher creativity endowed by the origin skills, this consumptive increase was negligible.

Since the initial experiment was a complete success, it was time for a major overhaul of the entire launcher and the final determination of its model.

Sitting at the desk, Kane once again immersed himself in the previous state.

This time, he directly took out three tubes of blue potion and placed them beside him, just in case.

The magic constructs were created in his two hands, then dismantled, altered, and reassembled.

Magic power was also consumed voraciously.

He just sat at the desk like this, constructing his launcher.

By the time he succeeded, the sun had long set behind the mountains.

Kane's eyes were threaded with bloodshot veins as he stared at the launcher that only he could see in his hand.

This entire day's work had led to the perfect modification of what he wanted; this was likely the best he could achieve at this stage.

The launcher was directly renamed by him.

First was the 'Bullet Barrage Dragonfly' designed for quickly clearing small monsters, consisting of four units and four barrels for rapid-fire mechanisms. This device resembled a dragonfly in shape and could swiftly fly and adjust its position within a two-meter radius around Kane.

Kane had tested it, and four of such mechanical dragonflies were his control limit. It's not that he couldn't manufacture more, but he simply couldn't control them.

Next was the sniper type for single-target damage; this was not some autonomous machine but a genuine weapon, requiring Kane to control it with both hands.

The design was modeled after a sniper rifle from his previous life and could be augmented with all the skills currently at Kane's disposal.

Lastly was the flashbang spherical device from before, now modified into a flashbang only the size of a thumb.

With six jet holes on its body, it could slightly alter its trajectory once fired.

Its features included intense bright light and extremely high speed.

He had initially intended to create an exoskeleton armor similar to those from his past life.

However, he found that with his current knowledge reserves and abilities, he couldn't construct it; what he could create was just a full-body armor shell.

Moreover, with his current magic power, he couldn't sustain it for long; perhaps he could just be a 'flash in the pan.'
