After some brainstorming and strange operations, Benjamin got [Basic Mastery of Thunder Element Basics] and [Basic Mastery of Ice Element Basics] one after the other, and the battered experiment finally drained the last bit of HP and walked away with its eyes open.
However, for this group of zombies, everything was still far from over, as Benjamin still had a whole sheet full of experimental plans waiting for them here.
Benjamin, the Experiment Maniac, is officially online!
Taking a shot of [Collection] at the zombie that was walking not-so-peacefully, probably due to its incomplete body (or too much resentment), this zombie didn't contribute [Low-level Zombie Essence].
Disgusted, Benjamin threw the spent experiment downstairs, and once again did the same thing, dragging the next victim up through the entrance and exit.
Still trimming off his limbs, Benjamin drags the pile of experiments up to the roof of the building and sees that Fluffy has already stacked the collected glassware in the centre of the floor.
Throwing the zombie, which could only squirm and writhe and hiss, aside, Benjamin came to the centre of the floor to draw a larger alchemy map, and then input MP to begin refining the tools for his next experiment.
The light of Alchemy flashed, and the glass objects that had been stacked in the centre of the alchemy array were fused into a large convex lens.
‘Hmm, that should be fine.’
Benjamin secured this magnifying glass to the iron frame that had been created and used a piece of paper to test the position of the focal length, once the measurements were complete the zombie was placed at the height where the sunlight would focus and the next step was to wait.
It was a bright, sunny day, a good day for experimentation.
As time went on, the temperature of the spot where the sunlight was focused through the magnifying glass increased, eventually causing smoke to start coming out of the zombie at the spot where the light was focused on it.

......
‘As the old saying goes, knowledge changes destiny.’
‘It's just that I'm not good at physics, or else I might be able to develop more skills by now.’
Gathering up his mood, Benjamin took out the [Wild Boar Hide] he obtained in the last world and placed it on the alchemy array chart he had just made, inputting MP to begin crafting that long-awaited item.
As the light dissipated, a leather glove appeared in the centre of the array diagram, and a small Alchemy Gloves array was engraved in the palm of the glove.
[You acquire [Alchemy Gloves]]
That's right, Benjamin used the Alchemy Gloves to refine a glove with a constant Alchemy Array.
Benjamin picks up the glove and puts it on his left hand, since his right hand needs to hold a knife and it's best to maintain absolute dexterity and feel, Benjamin chose his left hand when making the glove.

‘With this, I'll be able to be much more flexible in my combat abilities.’
Clenching his fist and feeling the first piece of green equipment he had made with his own hands, Benjamin couldn't wait to experiment with its performance in real combat.
Since it was a real combat, it certainly couldn't be done indoors.
Benjamin took out the [Bloodrune Longsword] and jumped down from the first floor, while using the speed bonus from falling to chop off the heads of two zombies with a single slash.
[You kill two zombies with the help of the falling state, fulfilling the hidden requirement of this INITIAL SPACE.]

‘And a windfall!’
This was something Benjamin hadn't found in the previous world, and it made him understand that if he wanted to master active skills without the restriction of the active skill bar, there was more than just developing Derived Effects of the original skills.
Now that he was still in the middle of the zombie horde, he hastily collected his mind and pressed his left hand to the ground to input his MP.
With a flash of light, the originally flat ground began to sprout sharp rocks upwards with Benjamin at the centre, shaking away all the surrounding zombies.
[You have inflicted damage on zombies by changing the shape of the rocks, fulfilling the concealment requirement of this Initial Space.]

......
While the zombies that were shaken away were still standing, Benjamin immediately swung his sword to kill them one by one, and then returned to the shopping centre.
With one more magic-type basic skill and one more self-created skill, Benjamin was slightly pleased in his heart for a moment, and then he once again saw the familiar system prompt.
[Detected that the contractor has Mastery of Ice Element Basics, Mastery of Soil Element Basics, Mastery of Thunder Element Basics, Mastery of Light Element Basics, and Mastery of Earth Element Basics, and the skill level is LV1, reaching the hidden requirement of Initial Space].
[The system has synthesised the above magic class passive skills into [Mastery of Natural Element Basics]]

......
‘......’ Benjamin was once again dumbfounded.
‘No, system you're not humane at all with this management, you should give a choice!’
‘Although I won't necessarily choose not to synthesise, but what do you mean by this forced purchase?’
Benjamin said that the experiment in hand suddenly wasn't fun anymore (╯‵□′)╯︵ ┻━┻.
‘There's no one else who can be in debt for this!’
Benjamin sighed, and then started to think on the bright side as a way to comfort himself.
Originally, Benjamin had planned to collect more magic-type basic passive skills, so that he would have a wider range of choices when matching his own skills when he returned to space.
Now with [Mastery of Natural Element Basics], then all of the Natural Elementals would be complete, and maybe when upgrading, he could even spend the same amount of money on upgrading diverse.
‘When I think about it like this, it seems like I even made a profit.’
Benjamin pondered, then crossed off a few experimental items on his experiment list that were no longer needed.
