Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 194 The vampire clan's understanding of vampires is still less than 1%
Elizabeth (Original vampire/accidentally transformed into a Primarch during a bloodthirsty experiment)

At the moment Elizabeth signed the contract, Jasmine also learned information that he had been unable to access before.

The information that the sect leader dug out, unsurprisingly, retained the same writing style as always.

Accidental transformation of the original.

It's amazing that they came up with such a name.

However, judging from this, as an accidental transformation derivative, it should have a better outcome than the original transformation derivative.

Presumably, the demon race will not spare any demon vampires.

[Level: 28 (Vampire LV.4/Mage LV.18/Rogue LV.6)]

【力量16/敏捷20/体质26/智力22/感知16/魅力16】

Jia Xiu never expected that being a vampire would be considered a profession.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any way to increase the strength of vampires.

Therefore, the level at which it is converted is probably fixed.

There are rumors that vampires can become stronger by drinking human blood, but there is no rigorous proof.

Historically, experiments have been conducted, but no evidence has been found that drinking human blood makes vampires stronger. Human blood is nothing special either. If one could truly become stronger by drinking blood, there's no reason why only human blood would have this effect.

Jia Xiu also conducted similar experiments and reached the same conclusion. As for why such rumors exist, it is speculated that vampires lacking human blood intake will appear half-dead, but will become lively and energetic after being sucked.

In appearance, it looks the same as when a drug addict has an attack: the addiction strikes and the person looks like they're about to die, but one dose of the drug "cures the ailment."

It is indeed possible that this could be misinterpreted as an improvement in strength.

Looking at it this way, the original vampire's job level strength is only 4, and the transformed second and third generations will be even lower.

Upgrading to level 4 only adds a fatal flaw: you die instantly when exposed to light. It's not worth it.

This bloodthirsty transformation project may cause less trouble for the demon race than expected.

As for Elizabeth's numerical value.

A mage who uses illusion magic has such a good physique.

It's probably an effect of the vampire.

Jia Xiu was already used to these strange values.

Mia, Ram, and Bubu all belong to this category, and even he himself is almost one of them.

This school of thought is incompatible with normal values.

Jasmine focused his attention on Elizabeth's characteristics.

The most important thing the assistant sect leader provides is unique characteristics.

Elizabeth's traits section is a very long list.

[Darksight/Passive Sense/Fellowship (Bat)/Elemental Resistance/Proficiency in Illusion/Proficiency in Polymorph/Spell Specialization (Illusion)/Spell Penetration/Spell Power...]

At the very top of the list are a whole bunch of characteristics that are primarily related to magic.

Although these were all very practical features, they did not satisfy Jia Xiu.

First, most of his spells are related to illusion and transformation, and he has hardly studied these two types of magic.

He can acquire most of the other spell attributes by leveling up himself.

Now that there's a new sect leader, it's natural to want to get something that you can't get by leveling up on your own.

Jia Xiu continued his inspection.

Finally, after flipping to the very end, the very vampire-like characteristics appeared.

[Transform into a Bat: In the absence of sunlight, one can transform into a swarm of bats. When attacked, as long as one bat remains, survival is guaranteed, and the user is immune to most spells that can detect polymorph.]

A very useful skill.

This is different from Transfiguration, which at most can only turn you into a bat.

Jia Xiu suddenly became curious: how did he control the transformation into a swarm of bats?

All the bats can only fly together. On the surface, they appear to be a group, but in reality, they are just "one" bats that look like a group, or each one can be controlled separately.

Out of curiosity, Jia Xiu immediately started writing and asking questions.

Elizabeth, seeing Jasmine suddenly start writing something, became a little nervous.

I thought something was wrong and she was going to be left all alone here again.

Do you know how difficult it is for someone who sleeps and wakes up repeatedly, drifting through countless years in a daze, to finally meet someone with whom they can communicate?

Then she saw Jia Xiu's question.

"what?"

As it turns out, verbal tics are contagious, and Elizabeth also learned to use "ha" to express confusion.

She didn't understand what it felt like to become a swarm of bats, or what it had to do with him.

But she still answered honestly.

"That's right, the perspective is divided into a group of bats, and each one can be controlled individually."

Upon seeing this answer, Jia Xiu's eyes widened.

What a load of nonsense about "Superman"!
In other words, there are no RTS games here, giving vampires a chance; they're not invincible in this game.

"How did you do it?"

"Well, you just get used to it after a while. At first, I couldn't control it properly."

How long did it take to adjust?

"Hmm..." Elizabeth hummed and thought for a moment. This part of the memory was a long time ago for her. "Decades? Maybe only a dozen years. I can't remember it very clearly."

She was awake for quite some years as a primordial vampire.

Upon seeing this number, Jia Xiu immediately ruled out this feature from his choices.

He has no intention of spending two-digit years honing his skills in being a good swarm of bats.

【Mist Transformation: In the absence of sunlight, one can transform into a cloud of mist and move at high speed, passing through all gaps and becoming immune to physical damage. This transformation has a time limit; if one cannot revert to their original form within the time limit, they will suffer severe damage, potentially leading to death.】

It's a little better, but not by much.

[Longevity: Aging occurs extremely slowly, but sensation gradually diminishes.]

This is another trait with side effects; it seems that vampires live long lives in a similar way to the undead.

You survive, but you gradually become numb, eventually becoming unable to feel anything at all.

When you're close to this stage, you should usually contact the Holy Light Vatican to "handle" the situation.

Jia Xiu believed that as a promising spellcaster, he had better options for extending his lifespan.

[Master of Derivatives: Commands are absolutely effective against derivatives]

[Spider Walk: Can walk on walls of almost any material at any angle]

[Child of the Night: Possesses boundless energy at night, greatly enhanced alertness, and improved physical abilities.]

……

[Sunlight Fear: Unable to use any spells or utilize any special abilities when exposed to sunlight, suffering continuous and severe damage until death]

How come it also has a purely negative characteristic?

and many more!

Jia Xiu suddenly realized that the fact that sunlight is the greatest nemesis of vampires is not tied to other characteristics.

In other words, if this trait could be removed, vampires could possess those enhancements without that biggest flaw.

If the bloodlust problem can be solved, a plan to replicate super-enhanced warriors will be born.

If this technology becomes widespread, humans might be able to fight demons hand-to-hand in the future.

In that case, being sent to hell might not be just a fantasy.

Below the fear of sunlight is the last trait in the trait section: [Superhuman Physique: Physical attributes are greatly enhanced, with significant increases in strength, constitution, and agility. Possesses extraordinary regenerative abilities, making them virtually indestructible, but they become dependent on blood, especially the blood of their own kind.]

Great.

Jia Xiu really wanted this trait.

Although his health wasn't too bad, it was only in the lower-middle range among ordinary people.

What good health can someone who spends all day in the lab, barely exercises, writes papers at high intensity, and researches magic possibly have?

If it weren't for my boundless energy and ability to sleep only four hours a day, my sleep schedule would be a recipe for sudden death.

Since he can no longer upgrade his physical attributes, and his intelligence and perception are not high enough, he doesn't plan to invest in other attributes.

Some very dangerous experiments are also much easier to do, without the fear of crippling yourself, since you can recover on your own anyway.

It's this thirst for blood...

In most parts of the world, buying and selling blood is permitted, but drinking the blood of one's own kind is psychologically difficult to accept.

So Jasmine asked Elizabeth again.

"You said before that you've never hurt anyone, so how did you overcome your craving for blood?"

Elizabeth blushed when asked this.

A little redness on a pale face is very noticeable.

"I try to resist if I can, but if I really can't, I'll just sneak a little bit. Actually, sucking the blood of other animals can also help. I think I've adapted quite well."

Jasmine recalled how Elizabeth had wanted to drink some blood several hours earlier.

It doesn't seem like they've adapted very well.

What can we do then? We'll have to rely on buying blood to survive from now on.

wrong.

Jia Xiu pulled out a book about experiments on bloodthirsty transformation bodies from his storage items.

He not only took away the cultural heritage of the tentacle monsters, but also pocketed all the vampire-related documents he found, just in case.

I didn't expect this demand to come so quickly.

Jia Xiu wondered if the mission imprinted in his mind was actually a spiritual influence, and if the thirst for blood was the same.

Vampires don't actually have an absolute physiological need for blood; rather, they are imbued with the idea that they must drink blood during the transformation process.

Jia Xiu quickly flipped through the experimental documents.

Elizabeth also curiously came closer.

I'm so touched to see so many familiar characters at once. Before, I could only see a few lines on the Gate of Anka.

During the years I was awake, I hid in the mountains because I was afraid I would hurt people. I didn't learn any language or even how to read.

She readily chose to "burn herself" to protect the Gate of Anka, not only because it was "the last hope," but also because she was so bored that she might as well just sleep herself to death.

Elizabeth quickly realized that these things were related to the reason for her birth.

In order to find the content he needed as quickly as possible, Jia Xiu immediately entered a state of enlightenment, flipping through the book at lightning speed, using quantum speed reading, which left the Radiant Knight completely stunned.

"No, did he read books like this before?"

“I don’t often look at it this way, but after a while, I’ll look at it this way once in a while.”

Mia answered.

"Can you understand what's written inside just by looking at it like this?"

“I had my doubts before, so I asked around. The boss just handed me a book and told me to ask whatever I wanted.”

"and then?"

"He really remembered it all."

The Radiant Knight frowned, her forehead wrinkles deepening. She had chosen to become a warrior because she couldn't understand the books she read and would forget the earlier parts as soon as she learned the later ones.

This ability to memorize the contents of a book with just a quick flip had a profound impact on her worldview.

"Are you sure your boss is human?"

Mia didn't answer the question directly, but just chuckled.

How could she know?

Aside from resembling a human, Jia Xiu's spellcasting approach, behavior, and abilities are all far removed from those of a human.

But who cares? As long as you follow him and get published papers, that's all that matters.

Justina suddenly had an absurd thought: what if she hadn't even become a true god yet, but Jaxiu had already been promoted to godhood and become her "colleague"?

To be honest, the positions of gods are just empty slots; they just need to collect faith. The more troublesome tasks are mostly done by the demigods who are "still young in their divine years."

It's just like a classroom.

Jia Xiu will probably do very well here...

Meanwhile, Jia Xiu had already found what he was looking for.

"Excellent! The bloodlust mutated creature's craving for blood is not physiological, but psychological. Its consciousness is affected, and it is specifically anchored to its own kind, because the initial plan was for the mutated creature to attack its own kind..."

Jia Xiu spoke rapidly.

Elizabeth didn't understand a single word.

"what?"

Jia Xiu pinpointed the part that influenced consciousness.

It looked complicated, but... he went through it roughly, and although he didn't fully understand it, he was confident that he could find a solution.

For example, not completely eliminating it, but temporarily blocking it, or weakening its impact should all be feasible.

He had already come up with several preliminary plans in his mind.

If the plan works, not only will he be able to perfectly obtain super physical enhancement, but there will also be a blue ocean market with no competitors waiting for him to earn.

Vampires probably need this kind of magic.

For them, being vampires is the second biggest problem after their fear of sunlight.

If it weren't for this, why would they be hunted down? Living in the city, they could only survive in the "underworld," the black market, gangs, and the like, with no way to rise in society.

Moreover, buying blood isn't cheap. Most vampires aren't short of money, but they can't keep buying it all the time; it would hurt anyone's wallet.

The number of vampires is not large. On the entire continent, including their derivative forms, there are probably only tens of thousands, and it's unlikely that there are six figures.

But he alone developed a monopolistic "medical" solution.

Then let him name his price.

Jia Xiu could already imagine the scene of him ruthlessly extorting a huge sum of money from the vampires while they thanked him in return.

After confirming that there was a way to resolve the side effects, Jia Xiu did not hesitate and directly inherited the extraordinary body.

The moment the special ability took effect, Jia Xiu suddenly felt his body brimming with power.

I've never felt so healthy in my life.

He jumped up and down excitedly, then ran back and forth a few steps, his body feeling incredibly light.

Jia Xiu felt that he had surpassed the peak of his physical abilities in this lifetime.

During the physical education exam for middle school students.

At that time, he broke through to 1000 meters in 3 minutes and 3.5 seconds. Since then, he has never come close. In college, he dropped to 4 minutes and 3.5 seconds. After starting work, he could no longer run it.

Now, he feels he can run freely and in under a minute.

From a distance, watching Jashu running and jumping around, the Radiant Knight was once again perplexed.

"Will your boss be like this after reading the book?"

"Normally not, but as you said, we can't understand him using common human reasoning..."
