Chapter 306 People Who Care About What Happens After They Die
Evefeya's words may make sense, but White Curtain does not want to provide her with the corresponding blood sample.

“…This will be useful for subsequent research.” Evereya looked slightly exasperated by Bai Mu’s rejection: “You might have some prejudice against scientists?”

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense. I just have a prejudice against people who study viruses," Bai Mu said, his words contradicting his true feelings.

“This will help change their physical condition,” Evereya said, offering a different reason.

"Oh, wait a minute." The white curtain summoned Atreus: "Let me introduce you, her name is Atreus, she is skilled in life alchemy, and she is now one of my people."

“I know her.” Evereya glanced at the weapon case in the white curtain. “You’ll get a lot of trouble because of this.”

"So if I don't use this thing, I won't have any trouble?"

"Would you like to sign a donation agreement with me? I'll find a way to get your body back after you die."

"You have that much energy?"

Evefeya smiled slightly: "Living ones won't do, but corpses aren't that important."

Bai Mu chuckled: "That's because you don't understand me. Why do you all like to deal with other people's aftermath?"

What kind of inheritance agreement did Lily sign with White Curtain? What kind of donation agreement does Evefeya want to sign with White Curtain?

They were all after him, who was dead. Bai Mu couldn't help but wonder if Lily's will included his body.

Although he was quite familiar with Lily, he didn't know much about the shop manager's abilities. What if the other party also had the ability to get his hands on his corpse?

Will Evefeya and Lily have a falling out over this?
Thinking about it this way, Bai Mu felt a little hopeful.

But what he really wanted was to live well, and when Lily and Evefeya could no longer survive, he would put them in the box.

"Hmm? Who else?" Evefeya's smile vanished. She truly valued Bai Mu's body; if he died, she would indeed try to retrieve his corpse.

But what Bai Mu was implying was that someone was going to compete with her for it?

"People eyeing my inheritance." Bai Mu didn't explain much.

But Evefeya's brows furrowed even more: "Your body is also part of the inheritance. Have you carefully read the will?"

"I've seen it; the part about the corpse wasn't written."

"That doesn't represent everything. Let me see that agreement when you have time."

"Wait, wait, don't talk like I'm about to die. What's wrong with you all?"

Bai Mu quickly interrupted Evefeya, so it was normal for him to have prejudice against this woman.

The other party's current behavior is abnormal.

"Given your circumstances, it's unlikely you'll live a long life."

"Tsk, I've also provoked a demon."

"...Then retrieving your body might be a bit troublesome."

Bai Mu was even more dissatisfied: "Can't you guys wish me well for once? Can't you just let me live a good life?"

"The problem is you don't seem like you'll live a long life."

"Damn it, teach her a lesson she deserves, and take her down in her area of ​​expertise." Bai Mu pulled over Beatrice, who had been silently watching the show with her arms crossed.

"What is it... You mentioned the physical condition of those soldiers?" Atristus remembered what Bai Mu had said before.

He mentioned the greatsword warrior's physical condition, which Atrist was quite interested in.

"Yes, you also need to find a way to solve their health problems. I'll give you half a month."

“Too short.” Beatrice subconsciously began to advocate for herself, a habit she had developed from working with those bosses.

Even if the boss gives her a very generous time limit, she will try to make the time even more generous.

After all, the more hours you work, the more you earn.

Regardless of what her job duties are, let's just talk about whether she actually did any work.

"I won't be staying here for long, so you won't have much time. As for the equipment, I don't think we'll lack anything here."

"...I personally am not averse to alchemists, but I don't want my research to be interfered with too much."

"But they can complement each other, right?"

Evelyn nodded: "Complementary is fine."

"Then let's leave it at that." Bai Mu made the decision unilaterally.

Competition is competition, but the primary objective cannot be changed.

Since Evelyn doesn't show any obvious resistance to Beatrice's presence, that's fine.

"You two can talk it over slowly."

After Bai Mu left, Evereya looked at Beatrice: "I've heard about you, nice to meet you."

“No need for such pleasantries, I’m already dead.” Atris looked at the flesh and blood. “Let me learn about these things first.”

“Yes, the next research will be led by me, as I have a better understanding of them.”

"You were the one who came into contact with it first; alchemy and the disciplines you are good at are not in the same system."

You do your thing, I'll do mine. We can complement each other where we can, and for things we can't, we'll each find our own solutions.

Beatrice didn't hold a grudge because they were 'competitors'; their expertise lay in completely different areas.

There are complementary aspects, but let's forget about complete cooperation.

She might not be able to fully understand the knowledge Evefeya possessed, and Evefeya wouldn't know much about her life alchemy either. "That's for the best." Evefeya had no objections and directly provided Beatrice with the most basic information.

As for how Beatrice died, Evefeya had no interest in it.

She could tell that Beatrice was connected to the White Curtain's weapon case, but she didn't intend to pry too much into the White Curtain's secrets.

At present, the relationship between the two parties can only be described as acquaintances, not even close acquaintances.

She didn't want to go into that box like Beatrice, just because of her curiosity.

Bai Mu seems easy to talk to, but this guy has a knack for causing trouble.

“Brother Bai Mu, that’s a caravan from the Holy Capital,” Rivera said, sitting on the wall on the outskirts of town, watching the caravan approach in the distance.

"You want to go to the Holy City?"

“Hmm.” Rivers nodded gently. “Everyone says that the Holy Capital is developing very well. I want to see the difference between there and here.”

"Okay, after we've resolved the health issues of those greatsword ladies, I'll take you to see them."

Rivera looked surprised: "Won't this take a long time?"

She would rather stay here a little longer than go to the Holy City.

"About two weeks?"

"That's too fast!" Rivera blurted out, then immediately covered her mouth. "Is Sister Evereya that amazing?"

"Don't worry, she's even more powerful than that." Bai Mu looked at the caravan in the distance and said to River with a smile, "I'll tell you something that needs to be kept secret."

"Mmm." Rivers nodded quickly.

"Everea has a life-extending medicine, would you like it?"

"...Won't that make me wait even longer?"

Bai Mu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Why are you waiting for me? I promised I'd come often."

"Shouldn't I find a chance to thank Sister Evefeya?"

"Just thank me."

"Thank you, Brother Bai Mu."

Bai Mu nodded and looked at the scenery further away. After the Awakened Ones were dealt with, this place could be considered cleared, unless that War Continent sent people here.

But the organization has been churning things here for over a hundred years, can the war over there last that long?
Regardless of who wins, it seems there's no need to pay much attention to this place.

The fact that the Dragon's Descendants won shows that the research conducted by the country behind the organization is all flashy and useless.

How much attention will this research attract?
If the country behind the organization wins, it means they've developed even more advanced technology and no longer care about this side, right?

Regardless, the Bureau can now develop peacefully here for a long time to come.

Develop sufficient industrial capacity to directly explore overseas markets.

If something more useful is discovered on another continent, the processing bureau will definitely try to extend the lifespan of this alternate dream.

In order to accelerate development, the time difference between fantasy and reality was even adjusted.

This means that it is necessary to ensure that River can live long enough.

The White Curtain can offer limited assistance, but the Bureau of Processing can provide a different story.

As long as the Dream Source can bring long-term benefits, the local government will not hesitate to use the things that only wealthy gentlemen in the real world can use on the Dream Source.

Have you ever thought about learning something else?

"The teaching will take a long time, right? Are you planning to stay, Brother Bai Mu?" River asked happily.

“I have other things to do. There are some things you will have to learn on your own, but I hope you don’t go astray when you learn them.”

White Curtain was thinking about Beatrice's life alchemy.

However, he needs to discuss this matter thoroughly with Beatrice first.

A caravan from the Holy Capital entered Luoguduo Town, and River stood up: "Brother Baimu, I need to go and keep an eye on things."

"Go."

Bai Mu didn't go to the caravan, but he could see what was happening there clearly from here. After the person in charge of negotiating with the caravan shared some information, the caravan leader showed an incredulous expression.

Then came a mixture of excitement and slightly complicated expressions.

White Curtain casually picked up the Observer Imperial Arms and took a look; the other party was worried about the greatsword.

Knowing that the last Abyssman and a large number of Awakened Ones had died, the caravan leader felt much safer. However, the thought that the Awakened Ones had been dealt with by the Greatsword made him a little uneasy.

"Tch~" White Curtain curled her lip and took off the Dream-Eroding Imperial Arm.

"What is this?" Denise's voice came abruptly.

"Something that can see into people's hearts." Bai Mu casually tossed the item to Denise: "Want to try it?"

"It doesn't look very good." Teresa tried out the Imperial Arms, mimicking the White Curtain.

She wasn't repelled by the Imperial Arms. As for how to use it, Shiro didn't say, but judging from her expression, she seemed to have mastered it.

"It's a bit strange, but it's even more powerful than my specialty, the ability to sense demonic energy?" Teresa took off the Imperial Arm and returned it to Shiro.

She had only worn it for a short time, yet she had gleaned a great deal of information from the white-clad face—information she shouldn't have known…
