Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 150 Jashu's Cooperation with Ukmark 2.0
[The Jiaxiu School's branch technology tree project—Bio-Warrior—has undergone real-world testing and achieved its phased goals.]

[Reward: Sage's Time Aura (Uses: 2)]

[Sage Time Aura: Applies the Sage Time effect to projects under research by the school, increasing project progress. Consumes one use, but does not consume personal Sage Time cooldown.]

"Ok?"

Jia Xiu, whose gluteus maximus was already somewhat malfunctioning due to the strain, suddenly received a message from the sect leader.

Magic.

Jia Xiu suddenly found a kind of joy in playing idle games; he didn't do anything, and the rewards arrived in his account first.

Ukmak people are really efficient.

Although I can't use this reward myself, it would be great to use it for the school's projects.

Use rewards to speed up project development; increased speed leads to more rewards; more rewards are used to further accelerate the project...

Achieving "perpetual motion"!
I didn't even have to put in much effort during the whole process; I just gained experience directly after the project was completed.

So, this is what it feels like to be the head of a research group?

Xiloshak was very fast; before Jashu could even feel his own backside anymore, he had already arrived above the Silvermoon Forest.

They did not enter the city center because it was still uncertain whether the remaining demons in the main urban area of ​​Serdarion had been cleared out.

Silvermoon Forest is now confirmed to be safe.

The Cloud Giant Vice Dean of Saint Delos demonstrated his exceptional combat skills, mastering both physical and magical techniques. His fighting style resembled that of a martial monk, striking with his bare hands, but each strike was accompanied by various effects.

Working in perfect harmony with the Elf Ranger, they quickly wiped out all the demons in the area.

Due to their rich experience, elves can get along well with any race except dwarves.

When fighting alongside dwarves, they would always "inadvertently" step on the dwarves' heads to cushion their fall.

After clearing the area, they began the next step of their plan.

Heal and revive civilians who were injured or killed in the accident before the Crystal Barrier was raised.

From a magical perspective, a target who dies from unnatural causes, has the desire to be resurrected, whose body has not suffered much damage, and whose death has not been long is very easy to revive.

The rangers were responsible for maintaining order, while the students of the Necromancer School of Silvermoon Academy were responsible for resurrecting the dead.

Valuable internship experience.

Hiring a professional necromancer costs money, but hiring a student who hasn't graduated yet is fine as long as they provide an internship certificate.

That's right, a spellcaster also needs internship experience to graduate from school.

The necromancy school is a perfect fit for this field.

In fact, the reputation of this school of thought has been somewhat tarnished by its name.

It doesn't sound like a proper category.

However, in reality, the Necrophysical school studies not only death, but also life.

Among professions in the medical field, besides priests who rank first with the highest percentage, necromancers and druids are tied for second place.

He also made outstanding contributions to the field of criminal investigation.

It's hard to find more conclusive evidence than having the deceased rouse themselves and identify the murderer.

However, because the Necromancer school has indeed produced some truly evil individuals, coupled with various rumors and stories, it has led to a strong stereotype among the public.

Therefore, the students in charge of the resurrection were posing as "magic doctors".

Don't ask what this doctor studied.

Anyway, he's a doctor.

But after resolving the necromancer's reputation issue, another problem arose.

These students are too young.

Too young makes them seem unreliable.

This made the family members very nervous, after all, it was a matter of life and death.

When the family members are nervous, the students who come for internships also become nervous.

Although he is a top student from a prestigious university, he is just a "big kid" trying to act like an adult.

In response, Olwin, the Vice Dean of the Cloud Giants, demonstrated the fine traditions of a Saint Terrell.

A creative mind!

"Come here, I have a way to gain the trust of the family members."

"Oliven said mysteriously."

"Master, do you have any way to instantly improve our magical abilities?"

The students gazed at the towering giant with clear eyes.

"No, I haven't studied necromancy much."

"Then how..."

"I can transform."

"what?"

A moment later, the original interns reappeared.

Each of them looked much older than they actually were, and their hair was thinning.

The family members' eyes lit up when they saw the transformed interns.

"Doctor, oh dear, doctor, you've finally arrived! Please save my family..."

They no longer seemed as cautious and suspicious as before.

Trust is directly proportional to the degree of hair loss.

The revival work was thus able to proceed smoothly.

Of course, things went smoothly overall, but there were still some unexpected things in the details.

For example, "Doctor, my husband..."

A young wife claimed the body of a gray-haired man.

"Oh, your husband is in perfect condition and can be resurrected shortly. After resurrection, please be aware..."

The young necromancer, only twenty-one years old but with a bald head, said...

“No, doctor, what I mean is, my husband has always sought peace of mind, so I feel that now is the moment he has been seeking, could it be…”

The young wife whispered, "Could you grant him permanent peace? If so, I will reward you handsomely."

The necromancer looked troubled.

He's only twenty-one; this situation is far too complicated for him.

"I, well, according to the rules..."

Normally, when faced with such a tricky situation, you would call your tutor, but today your tutor is not here.

at this time.

"Show some face!"

The young wife is kicked aside, and mentor Margaret makes a dazzling appearance.

"You call being killed by the devil eternal peace?"

Margaret looked very anxious.

"Quickly, revive that guy, then I have something to ask you!"

Margaret made the decision swiftly and decisively, then asked the question.

"Did you see a guy with black hair and black eyes among the corpses? He was fairly handsome, but if you looked closely, you'd think his face was really smug?"

In her judgment, the living Jia Xiuhao was better than the dead Jia Xiuhao, who had been taken away by the devil.

We haven't seen any alive yet, and if we capture them, we probably can't take them away. Logically, there should be some dead ones.

"Um, Professor, actually, that last sentence doesn't have to be added."

Mia whispered.

"Don't you guys think that after looking at Jia Xiu's face for a while, you really want to beat him up? He just disappears when things are so tense."

"Lamu thinks that the boss probably didn't intentionally disappear."

"And it sounds like he clearly cares about the boss, but he has to say a few harsh words to pretend he doesn't care that much."

Mia deals true damage.

Although they both found it strange that Jia Xiu hadn't shown up, they weren't too worried.

They believed that Jia Xiu was more likely to bring danger to the devil than to Jia Xiu himself.

After all, so far, all those who have tried to harm Jia Xiu have been "tried" by Jia Xiu himself.

"Who, who cares? I, I'm just fulfilling my duty as a teacher!"

Just then, the crowd suddenly gasped and looked up.

Margaret looked up and saw a huge brass dragon soaring across the sky, its shadow almost covering the entire audience area.

"Could this be an ancient dragon?" Dragons spend most of their lives growing larger, so their strength is very obvious.

The bigger it is, the older it is, and the stronger it is.

As someone who had studied dragon language magic for some time, Margaret was quite confident that the dragon in the sky was an ancient dragon, about the same size as the dragons in the academy that required an appointment more than a month in advance to see.

The brass color suggests they're on their side.

Just how much preparation has been made to counter this demonic invasion?

Just as everyone looked up at the dragon in astonishment, suddenly, the dragon shrank to human form and plummeted rapidly. As it approached the ground, it decelerated precisely and came to a stop just in time, demonstrating its superb flying skills.

At the same time, the figures on the dragon's back also began to fall.

Justina was the most direct, aiming at an open space and smashing straight down. When the dust settled, the small crater left behind was filled with the image of a hero making her entrance.

Marcus Aurelius transformed into a ball of flame, flew to the ground, and then returned to human form.

Taco Manager gracefully floated down, stroking his beard as he did so.

Only Jia Xiu.

"Tell me before you turn back! Feather Fall Technique, how do you use Feather Fall Technique..."

Surprisingly, when I'm nervous, I can cast spells exceptionally quickly.

Jia Xiu successfully remembered how to use the Feather Fall Technique and used it successfully in mid-air.

He suspected that Shilosak did it intentionally, but he had no evidence.

Fortunately, I know a lot of spells.

Jia Xiu landed gracefully, then lost his footing.

My leg went numb, and I stumbled, almost spilling Jacob's medicine.

"Jia Xiu! You're not dead!"

Jia Xiu never expected that the first thing he would hear after landing would be, "You're not dead."

When did his popularity drop so much?

Look up.

“Mentor Margaret.”

"Where did you go? I thought something had happened to you..."

As Margaret spoke, she noticed the others who had come down from the dragon with Jassiu.

Then she immediately realized.

"You're much safer than me! I was so worried!"

"Well, actually, the process was quite thrilling."

“Professor Aurelius, why are you here? You didn’t even tell me that our teacher-student relationship has faded.”

Margaret is acting now, looking very sad.

Unfortunately, Marcus Aurelius wasn't buying it.

"Telling you won't help, you can't get out anyway, the crystal barrier is trapping you."

Lies don't hurt people...

Margaret is truly heartbroken now.

He was in a delicate state of having his defenses down, but because of his mentor's position, he couldn't show it.

"Um, where's Bubu?"

Seeing this, Jasmine changed the subject before Margaret could hold back.

Since the mentor, Mia, and Ram are all here, where did Bubu go?

"Bubu? Oh, the undead that Nicola mentioned, right? The Crystal Barrier shouldn't be able to stop it." Aurelius was still adding insult to injury.

"Boss!"

Just then, Bubu's happy voice came over.

It sounds like it's coming from up high.

Jia Xiu turned his head and saw Bubu sitting on the shoulders of the tall "Iron Can" knight, waving in their direction.

"Boss, do you remember Mr. Arnold?"

"Arnold, you're saying this is Arnold!"

Jia Xiu now understands exactly how the bio-warrior project, which he had just learned about, passed the real-world testing.

It's really real combat; they've only completed 20% of their mission, yet they're already deploying them to the front lines to fight the devils.

He thought that real combat was simply finding a devil to fight Arnold in a controlled experimental setting.

It's hard to say whether the researchers at Ukmark's approach is forceful or reckless.

Arnold removes his mask.

"It's nice to see you again, Mr. Jia Xiu, and Master Mia."

He was probably the one who respected this money-grubbing half-elf the most, after all, Mia's discovery played a major role in making him who he is today.

Jassi looked at Arnold's face.

Her facial features are still pretty much the same as I remember, but her face shape has changed somewhat, becoming much wider than before.

It seems that the muscle-building methods here are much more amazing than those on Earth; they can not only increase height but also build muscle in the face.

No, it seems that it's not just the face shape that's different.

My head shape looks different now.

Am I seeing things? It looks like the middle of the head is getting a bit pointed...

"I didn't expect to meet you here. What's with that outfit?"

It's easy to see that Arnold's armor, which combines fantasy and mechanical elements, is quite different from common magical artifacts.

"The first phase of the bio-warrior armored project is still a prototype."

In the Ukmark Empire's plans, the bio-warrior project was never just about enhancing the physical body.

No matter how much the human body is strengthened, it does not possess the offensive organs that demons are born with.

You need to know how to use tools.

The development of this super armor actually began even earlier than the biological warrior itself.

However, during the research and development process, a bottleneck was encountered: if the power and protection were good enough, normal people would not be able to wear it.

Designed for normal human use, its performance is destined to be what it is.

Therefore, the project leader questioned why it was necessary to mass-produce armor that normal people could use, as that would be too difficult.

Perhaps, finding a way to mass-produce abnormal people is a better solution.

The Bio-Warrior Project was born.

Before they met Jashu, Mia, and Arnold, who had innate drug resistance, they had tried all sorts of strange methods but had never found a suitable path.

"Wow, what kind of weapon is that?"

Jia Xiu was very interested in this outfit.

"I'm more used to using an axe."

"ax?"

"Enchanted Battle Axe".

"Have you ever considered using a chainsaw? A chainsaw spinning and sawing through the devil, doesn't that sound even more exciting?"

As a former game developer deeply influenced by certain works, I have a passion for chainsaws.

"I tried, but it didn't work."

"You actually tried it?"

"Yes, chainsaws can easily get stuck inside a demon's body when they're spinning, especially high-level demons, so after trying different methods, we ended up using a more direct weapon."

"pity."

"By the way, I didn't expect to see you here again. I have a gift I'd like to give you."

"A gift? What gift? A suit of armor!"

He was wide awake at the mention of this.

"No, it's this."

As Arnold spoke, he pulled a model out of his backpack, which at first glance looked like a bio-warrior figurine.

"That's right, this model integrates many technologies from this suit of armor."

"Isn't this a classified matter?"

"It's actually classified, but the director trusts you completely. He wants you to find a way to sabotage these technologies and advance the research and development of the armor."
