High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 57 Sinful Blood Potion, Fallen Vampires

After discussing Zhou Wen's traitorous nature and the information about the Blood Demon monster, the car fell silent.

Seeing this, Bai Yu seized every minute and second and immediately began to circulate the Great Heavenly Cycle.

Try to obtain today's intelligence fragments!

Blue lightning could be faintly seen moving and flashing along the veins and blood vessels.

This energy does not harm his body; on the contrary, it strengthens it, belonging to extraordinary bioelectricity. This seems to be the special characteristic of his ancient god Zhang Jiao's spiritual power.

Zhao Bin, who was observing from the side, frowned more and more as he watched Bai Yu circulate his qi.

After completing one cycle, he couldn't help but ask, "How can you be so fast?"

"The residual effects of the drug."

"Medicine?"

"Yeah, didn't I bring you guys some last night? None of you drank anything?"

Zhao Bin felt slightly embarrassed upon hearing this.

Liu Feifei proudly raised her little hand and said, "I drank it!"

"Excellent! Excellent! Worthy of praise."

After praising them, Bai Yu glanced at the others' expressions and couldn't help but criticize, "Where's the trust between the brothers?"

Around nine o'clock in the morning.

Yunhu Antique Street.

"A family heirloom of blue and white porcelain, anyone who knows its value, come and take a look?"

Bai Yu: This blue and white porcelain is all crooked. In ancient times, if you dared to hand it over, wouldn't you be beheaded and your entire family wiped out? How could it be an ancestral heirloom?

The group quickly walked into the antique street, heading straight for their destination: Red Moon Antique Shop.

The body bag they were carrying was really damn eye-catching!

Bai Yu unconsciously distanced himself from Jiang Chen and the other guy.

I'm so unfamiliar!

Red Moon Antique Shop.

The store is furnished with various wooden furniture and is generally quite dark.

As you approach the store, you feel a cool, shady atmosphere.

As if hearing someone enter, a young man quickly came out and greeted, "Gentlemen, customers."

But upon seeing Bai Yu and the others, his smile froze.

Bai Yu also glanced at the young man.

Isn't this supposed to be a vampire who's planning to discuss life with his cousin and teach her a foreign language?

How did you end up working here?

But when he realized the shop owner was a big shot, he felt relieved.

It should address the issue of re-employment for non-captured alien species.

After a moment of hesitation, the man asked, "May I ask what you, the customers, would like to buy?"

Li Yunbin did not answer, but looked towards the stairs.

A middle-aged man, without making a sound, had already reached the middle of the stairs.

This man is Zheng Guoyi!

The skin has a special kind of fair complexion and very few wrinkles.

He glanced at the black plastic bags that had been brought over and said, "Come on up."

"Xiao Chen, close the door."

"clear!"

The group headed towards the stairs.

When Bai Yu passed by the man, he stopped, patted him on the shoulder, and the man's legs were weak and he could not support himself.

"Xiao Chen, keep up the good work. Who knows, one day my cousin's old problem might relapse, and I'll need you to help cure her and give her a good talking-to."

"Understood, understood, please go upstairs, boss."

He still vividly remembers the tingling sensation of the thunder and lightning that night!

The second floor.

Jiang Chen and his companion quickly opened the body bags.

After seeing the corpse of the vampire, Zheng Guoyi bent down, picked up the arm, and examined it carefully.

The monster has thin skin, and the muscle tissue beneath it is clearly visible.

After studying it for a while, Zheng Guoyi gently ran his finger across the skin, creating a cut that allowed scarlet blood to flow out.

To everyone's surprise, Zheng Guoyi wiped it with his palm, then put it to his lips and licked it, almost cleaning it completely!

Bai Yu got goosebumps when he saw this.

"My goodness, no wonder he's a ruthless person who obtained the bloodline of a vampire count."

After savoring the description for a while, Zheng Guoyi said, "Compared to the previous version, this modified creature is indeed a significant improvement. When you killed it, you should have noticed its strong regenerative ability, right?"

Li Yunbin nodded: "Indeed! Their combat strength is probably only around level ten, but attacks from ordinary Spirit Origin Realm cultivators cannot cause them much damage."

Bai Yu also expressed his strong agreement.

They're really hard to kill! They can withstand three of my electric cannons without falling.

Li Yunbin continued, "Previously, a case of theft of spiritual materials occurred in the spiritual garden of Qingyuan Manor. There was also a suspected vampire modifier in the surveillance footage. That one looked more advanced, but unfortunately, we haven't caught him yet."

"Yes, I know."

"Have you met Mr. Zheng?"

"No, that's not it. I just know that there must be a more powerful, improved version of this monster."

"Professor Zheng, what have you discovered?"

Upon hearing this question, Old Zheng did not answer. Instead, he looked at the others and said, "You lot, why don't you go outside for a stroll?"

This is clearly a way of telling people to leave.

This left Bai Yu, whose interest had been piqued, somewhat frustrated.

"No problem, I'll get the information from intelligence myself!"

After Bai Yu and the others left, Zheng Guoyi took something out of a cabinet: a blood bottle!

To be honest, Li Yunbin and the others had captured so many blood slaves, but they had never seen what the blood vials these guys drank looked like.

But the moment Li Yunbin saw this, he knew it was a blood vial!

"Mr. Zheng, this is..."

"That's why these people were turned into blood slaves."

"Where did you get it?"

"The night before last, I happened to run into them when I was out. A girl wanted a drink, but I snatched it from her. After I took it, I sensed a danger, as if someone was watching me and had murderous intent towards me. However, that guy ultimately didn't make a move."

"So, Professor Zheng, have you discovered something? Or obtained some important information?"

Zheng Guoyi didn't speak, but walked to the chair, sat down, and said, "This is what I wanted to tell you today."

As he spoke, he raised the vial of blood in his hand and said, "This thing is actually more appropriately called the Sinful Blood Potion."

"Sinful blood?"

"Yes. Sin Blood is extracted from the bodies of fallen vampires. Their blood possesses a certain cursed quality. This is information I obtained from the Earl's bloodline inheritance."

"And this blood seems to have been modified by vampires. The blood vial in my hand is only the lowest concentration, which can be given to ordinary people to drink. After drinking it, the evil in people's hearts will be stirred up."

People who drink this type of medicine can be roughly divided into three categories.

"The first type is those with shallower inner sins and weaker physiques. These are ordinary blood slaves. Their strength mostly depends on the enhancement of their physical body by the sinful blood in their bodies, and they cannot mobilize the power of the sinful blood."

"The second type is the kind you sent. These people are extremely sinful, but their physical constitution is insufficient. Even though they obtained the power of sinful blood, they turned into monsters who lost their minds. However, judging from the specific situation, the vampires must have made many improvements and studies on this kind of monster. I even suspect that our human research institutes helped with it."

Upon hearing the words "there is a human research institute to help," Li Yunbin did not become overly excited.

Zheng Guoyi glanced at Li Yunbin indifferently and said, "It seems you've noticed it too."

"Yes. I've heard a little bit about it from within the clan. Director Yang also mentioned it to me. However, this matter may be too complicated, and I'm not powerful enough to get involved, so I don't know much."

"Then let me talk about the third type. This third type is the most troublesome. They may have already mastered the power of the Sin Blood and possess the power of the Sin Blood's master. You must know that those who can be called Fallen Blood Clan are all powerful beings. And the third type of monster, having obtained the power of the Sin Blood, is even equivalent to half an Ancient God Awakener, and has a very strong potential for growth."

After listening, Li Yunbin slowly processed the information.

Director Yang had actually told him that the vampire baron case he was investigating was very complicated!

He only needs to follow the established path and investigate; he doesn't need to expect any major results.

But at least on the surface, it can deceive the vampires who think they haven't been exposed to their deepest secrets.

But Bai Yu's arrival sparked a thought, a ambition in him: to thoroughly investigate this case!

Taking a deep breath, Li Yunbin, his heart heavy, asked, "Mr. Zheng, do you have any more information?"

Zheng Guoyi tapped his fingers lightly on the table, remaining silent for a moment.

After about half a minute, he finally spoke: "Yes, there is. But I have to say, your abilities are indeed insufficient to handle this case. Sometimes, the less you know, the better you can live a better life."

"But I want to know!"

They met Li Yunbin's gaze for about half a minute.

"Fine, whatever."

Zheng Guoyi sighed and then talked about his understanding of the enemy.

"First of all, the one responsible for distributing the Sin Blood Potion is not the Vampire Baron, but rather the Night Demon within the vampire clan."

"As for the vampire baron you're investigating, he's probably been brewing a huge conspiracy, but we don't know what it is."

Afterwards, Zheng Guoyi talked about several key enemies he knew, which at least prevented Li Yunbin from being completely lost.

After speaking, Zheng Guoyi opened a hidden compartment and took out a special dark black blood bottle.

"This is the blood of sin."

"It is pure, purified sin blood extracted from the bodies of the blood slaves and other monsters I have killed in the past few months."

"This is a very good research sample. Take it back to the Li family and have Professor Li Maoshan of your clan study it to see if he can come up with a solution. If successful, we can obtain more information."

Li Yunbin naturally agreed without hesitation.

"Whether or not to tell your teammates is up to you."

"I understand! Thank you for your help, Mr. Zheng!"

The data I see in the backend from two days ago shows over 1800 fake followers, which is already quite impressive for that period. I've surpassed eight LV5 veteran authors in this regard. The only downside is the slightly low percentage of genuine followers, around 2/3, about 400-500 fewer than the top three authors (currently around 1000 daily reads, and follower counts are still growing, so there's potential). The requirements for genuine followers aren't actually that high; spending a dollar within a month or two and subscribing to one chapter counts as paid subscription. I hope you can recharge a dollar to help them become a genuine follower.

The most important thing is to continue reading next Monday and Tuesday. Some authors ask readers to continue reading in the chapter titles from the very first chapter, but I think that's not very effective. Only asking for continued reading once during the crucial period will have an impact.

Next Monday's chapter will be marked as "Please Read On." I also want to ask readers who've been waiting a few days to read it before I make a killing! I've never been to Sanjiang (a Chinese online literature platform) before and want to check it out. Those who go to Sanjiang and immediately switch to another book—I'm so envious (and resentful) of them! They're such a waste of space. (_)

Regarding performance and release, I've discussed it with the editor. I'm taking a steady, gradual approach, avoiding any particularly exciting plot twists in the early stages to prolong the book's lifespan and prevent excessive readership growth. If it doesn't make it onto the Sanjiang list, it'll be released directly next Friday, aiming for 10,000 reads per day to turn things around. I'll also see if I can get a strong recommendation. Of course, even if it doesn't make it onto the Sanjiang list, it won't be a complete flop for my book. For someone like me who's a prolific reader, the intelligent recommendation system is incredibly powerful. My last book had 1,000 initial subscriptions and reached 2500 average reads per month (that one was a Chinese-themed novel, so it grew quickly; this one is different).
