Capítulo 19: MD-Chapter 19 I Want to Change My Character!
Arthur stared in disbelief at the book in his hands and then glanced at the prompt from the Disassembler.
For a moment, he felt completely bewildered.
How could you disassemble a book?
Aren't books meant for reading?
Alright, the remark above was just Arthur's tsukkomi (commentary), but the shock he felt was genuinely overwhelming.
Initially, Arthur thought the Disassembler could only disassemble weapons. Later, he discovered that even clothes could be disassembled. Well, clothes could be considered a type of equipment... but a book?
Although the book in his hand looked about as thick as a brick and could probably cause quite a bit of pain if used to smack someone on the head, it was by no means a reason for a book to be disassembled!
Moreover, what could you gain from disassembling it?
His curiosity surged!!!!
Would it disassemble into a pile of books again? Turning the books meant for reading into something you could smack people with? Well, that would be quite an imaginative turn of events!
Glancing at Dr. Erskine, Arthur wondered if the old man would go crazy if he disassembled his books.
"Oh, by the way."
Dr. Erskine seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around, startling Arthur, who was just contemplating disassembling the books.
The book in his hand almost slipped away! It tossed and turned in mid-air several times before Arthur managed to catch it securely.
Sighing in relief, Arthur looked at Dr. Erskine.
Dr. Erskine, with a puzzled expression on his face, turned his head back as if he had forgotten everything he wanted to say.
When Arthur put the book back, he turned to Dr. Erskine again. "Oh right, oh right... Your room is across the hall. Also, when you have nothing to do, feel free to move around. You don't have to sit around in my room. Well, when we're here, at least we'll be safe. You can do whatever you want, like shopping or something. Of course, it's up to you. Once I'm engrossed in my work, I might forget the time and neglect your situation. Please don't mind."
Dr. Erskine opened a drawer, took out a key, and tossed it to Arthur before he turned back to his work.
Arthur stood in place for a while, then picked up his luggage, opened the door, and left.
The layout of the room across the hall was basically the same.
After putting his things down and doing a little tidying up, Arthur took a pistol, tucked it into his waist, and left.
He needed to verify the discovery he made just now, which was crucial for him!

...
Bookstore!
There was a bookstore not too far from where he was staying. The storefront wasn't large, but walking in gave a sense of being immersed in a sea of books.
However, there weren't many customers in the store right now.
After all, it was wartime, and the fact that the bookstore could open its doors was already commendable.
The owner was a youngster in his twenties, leaning against the counter, with an absentminded look on his face.
Facing Arthur's arrival, he didn't even glance at him, as if there were no such person. It was unclear what he was thinking.
Arthur didn't bother with the youth's attitude. After entering the bookstore, he casually looked around and then went to a blind spot where the boss couldn't see. He randomly picked up a book that recorded who knows what...
[Do you want to Disassemble a psychology book?]
"This really works!!!!"
Arthur took a deep breath, finding this quite unbelievable.
After disassembling these things, what exactly could he obtain?
He didn't immediately disassemble; instead, he began to let his thoughts run wild!
Now was wartime, and he was undoubtedly set as a warrior.
What could a warrior do during wartime? Naturally, fight on the front lines, dance with death.
This was fundamentally inconsistent with Arthur's ultimate plan of staying alive till the end.
Although he was currently in the rear area, it was by no means peaceful. Dr. Erskine himself was a very troublesome figure.
It could be said that once the Super Soldier serum research was successful, this amiable man would become a thorn in Hydra's eyes, a stab in the flesh— a presence that must be eliminated!
And protecting Dr. Erskine would inevitably entangle Arthur in this chaos!
Arthur was not very willing... The saying (when people die, birds fly upside down, undying for ten thousand years) was forced out in desperate circumstances.
In fact, the continuation of this phrase would be (if you can survive, just survive), making it perfect.
The upper line is: (when people die, birds fly upside down), the lower line is: undying (undying for ten thousand years), and the horizontal scroll... if you can survive, just survive!
However, following the current course, he would probably not survive for long.
But the sudden appearance of the Disassembler's quirk gave Arthur a glimmer of hope!
"If... I change my character, what will happen?"
He rubbed his chin and pondered a strategy. Half an hour later, Arthur moved all the books related to genetics from the bookstore.
Actually, Arthur didn't know much about whether these were books on genetics. After all, it wasn't possible for every book to have 'Introduction to Genetics' written on it or directly have the word 'Genetics' imprinted.
But fortunately, Arthur didn't need to understand. He only needed to put his hand on the book to determine its field.
Psychology, genetics, physics, and even mysticism... Although the bookstore was small, it had a rich collection.
Various categories were available inside the bookstore, although not in large quantities. This was also the reason Arthur could take away all the genetics books.
Of course, the cost paid for this was... Arthur had almost taken away all of his cash.
Renting was okay, but buying was too damn expensive!
Saying that knowledge is priceless? It's already said to be 'priceless'; now, you're putting a price on it. Believe it or not, I'll report you to the consumer association!
With a mind full of grievances and a pile of books, Arthur left the bookstore.
Finding a secluded corner, he placed everything into the Disassembler's space, leaving only two books in his hands.
He now had a small plan... The reason for exclusively selecting genetics books was not without purpose.
In this world, having talent and publishing papers didn't immediately gain approval. Academic discussions have always been accompanied by countless verbal battles... You say I'm talking nonsense, and I say you're spouting crap.
And if a soldier suddenly produced a paper on genetics, no one would pay attention. Subconsciously, they would assume it was just nonsense.
So, to change his character, Arthur needed to start by changing his image from a brawny soldier.
The first step... would be to become a knowledgeable soldier.
Next... he needed a 'guide' to lead him into this completely different field.
The best candidate was currently around him, which was why Arthur chose genetics.
Of course, the premise of all this still depended on what he could harvest by disassembling these books tonight.

Capítulo 20: MD-Chapter 20 You're a Genius!!!
Returning to his residence, Arthur felt a bit excited. This excitement was akin to the time when he had to infiltrate enemy territory for an assassination mission. The same full-body tremors, the same... rain-like urination!
Coming out of the bathroom, Arthur calmed down his emotions a bit, feeling a slight self-mockery.
After all, he was still an otaku. Although he had inevitably gotten involved in blood and fire after coming to this world, that small, excitable mindset when encountering significant events was far from being erased.
The familiar sound of the Disassembler echoed, and Arthur finally settled down completely.
Honestly, in this strange yet familiar world, the familiar sound of the Disassembler brought him the greatest comfort.
[Announcement!]
[Disassemble item successful!]
[Genetics knowledge*1]
[Disassembler experience +1]
[Disassemble complete, Would you like to extract at once?]
"Extract!"
Arthur felt a bit excited in his head.
Then, a book that was almost indistinguishable from the Disassembler's product appeared in Arthur's hands.
With a slap of his hand, a radiant light filled the air. In the next moment, Arthur's mind was filled with a lot of knowledge he had never understood before.
"It really works?"
Arthur widened his eyes as he suddenly felt that if he had this thing before he crossed over, it would have been great.
He could have become the CEO early on, married Ms. Perfect, and reached the pinnacle of life.
Disassemble continued!
After about ten minutes, all the books Arthur bought were completely disassembled.
And he also noticed an interesting phenomenon...
Firstly, when disassembling books, he didn't get the (Disassemble equipment) prompt, but 'Disassemble item.' Secondly, regardless of whether the book was new or old, the result of disassembling was *1!
There must be a rule among them, but Arthur couldn't figure out what this rule was.
What's the difference between an item and equipment?
However, he didn't seek an answer and just let it be. Anyway, he could gain tangible benefits.
In total, he obtained twelve books on genetics.
After absorbing all of them, Arthur didn't know what level he had reached.
Anyway, he felt like a professor who had been studying genetics for many years, and various kinds of knowledge were overflowing in his mind.
"Well, this might be an illusion."
Thinking this way, Arthur suddenly remembered the scattered files he had seen in Dr. Erskine's room.
His memory, enhanced by Battle Soul, had reached a terrifying level. Recalling it now, everything was vivid.
There were equations, theoretical bases, and other things. Combining the knowledge in his mind, Arthur took a piece of paper and a pen from the table, subconsciously doodling on the paper. He also wrote down a few speculative formulas, and in the end, even he found it a bit mosquito-brained.
"Time for sleep..."
Arthur yawned, feeling too tired to continue writing. He casually threw the pen on the table and tossed himself onto the bed, burying his head in the covers for a deep sleep.
Perhaps due to the substantial amount of knowledge, Arthur felt his head swelling a bit.
The sleep was deep enough, cutting off all perceptions of the outside world.
So much so that when he woke up in the morning, he had no idea when there was suddenly another person in the room...
The person had their back turned to him, standing at the table, holding two sheets of paper and carefully examining them. It seemed like they wanted to memorize every piece of data.
"Oh no!"
Arthur was shocked. This was Dr. Erskine!
Why would this old man, who usually slept early and woke up early, not be in his own room but in Arthur's room early in the morning?
And... Isn't he holding the nonsense I wrote yesterday?
After Arthur wrote these things, he himself was confused. Putting it in front of Dr. Erskine, it was undoubtedly at the level of gibberish!
This is disastrous!
Arthur sighed in his heart. He wanted to elevate his knowledge of genetics first. Then, deliberately or unintentionally, presented his 'doodles' to Dr. Erskine, letting him 'discover' that he unexpectedly had knowledge in this field. This would naturally lead Dr. Erskine to guide him into the academic field!
But now?
The things he wrote, in Dr. Erskine's eyes, must be utterly worthless! All of his dreams were shattered!
At this level, it's impossible to make Dr. Erskine take notice, right? While he was still lost in his thoughts, Dr. Erskine had already turned around. Seeing Arthur staring at him with unfocused eyes, he suddenly felt a bit awkward and said, "I knocked on the door."
"Ah? Oh, it's fine, it's fine... Doctor, you're up early."
Arthur laughed, thinking of quickly changing the topic to make Dr. Erskine forget about his 'doodles'.
"Is this your writing?"
But Dr. Erskine didn't take the bait as he directly waved the two sheets of paper in his hand.
Arthur's face turned dark. What can he do at this point?
He could only nod and force a bitter smile, "It's just... some random thoughts. I've been self-studying in this area recently, forgive me for showing you this."
"You recently learned this?"
Dr. Erskine looked at the papers in his hand, then shook his head, "Colonel Phillips' evaluation of you is unfair. In his words, you're a reckless kid, ignorant and arrogant. Due to the early loss of your parents, you even have a somewhat cynical view of the world. But now, it seems that you are not only active and brave on the battlefield, but also relentlessly pursuing knowledge. And... too modest!"
Dr. Erskine came to Arthur's side, sitting on the edge of the bed, "To be honest, I'm surprised! I never expected you to be reading books in this field and self-learning. This fact… is too humble!"
"If it weren't for immersing yourself in this knowledge for more than ten years, you wouldn't be able to write this kind of data!"
Dr. Erskine said excitedly, "And you... What are you saying? You say all of this is what you've recently self-learned? Well, forgive my emotional outburst, I really didn't expect that, just before reaching the peak of my life's achievements, I would encounter a child like you!"
'I'm supposed to be a genius, and I need someone else to tell me that!!!???' Arthur looked utterly dazed when he heard this.
