Full-Time Magister: What kind of demonic tree is this? It's clearly a sacred tree!

Chapter 50 Vampires

Are you a dog?! All this time! You just want more, don't you?!

Although Zhang Chen was cursing him inwardly, he still smiled and said, "Can't you be a little more accommodating?"

He revealed a cunning smile, as if his scheme was about to succeed, and said, "Sure, I've always wanted a rare treasure like this—"

Zhang Chen interrupted him upon hearing this and laughed, "Sure, sure, but if you forge a few magical tools for us for free, I'll give you one of them, how about it!"

The entire skin of the Totem Serpent is on my body, with over a hundred strange scales alone, not to mention the strange feathers and plumes of the Silver Sky Lord.

He was willing to forge as many magical artifacts as he could if he could obtain a rare treasure, and he agreed almost without much thought.

"Are you sure?" Zhang Chen asked him again. "Absolutely! Absolutely!" Huo Tuo was completely excited. "Okay, please make these strange scales into armor and these strange feathers into wings!" Zhang Chen took out seven more strange scales and sixteen strange feathers. "This! This—" Huo Tuo was so excited when he saw so many rare treasures that he was practically bursting with excitement.

"No need to thank us, the extra piece here is yours." Zhang Chen laughed, but quickly recovered and immediately changed his expression, saying, "No, this is too much! It would cost me at least ten or twenty million to forge one for you, this is too much! I'm losing out! Besides, I'm not good at forging winged magical artifacts, so the consumption will undoubtedly be even greater."

"Fine, give me back the materials!" Zhang Chen made to leave. "Hey, young man, how can you haggle like that? Try to negotiate!" Huo Tuo immediately became anxious. "Then the original price will do."

"No way! This is too unfair to me!"

"Alright, alright, but you need to find me some material. Have you ever heard of vampires?" Huo Tuo asked Zhang Chen. "Like you?" Mo Fan asked. Huo Tuo glanced at Mo Fan: "You're so disrespectful! I'm talking about those who are normal people during the day, but at night they need to attack women and rely on drinking blood to maintain their powerful strength. I heard that these vampires came from the West—"

"Wait, you just said they attack women?" Mo Fan asked. Huo Tuo nodded and said, "These vampires have very good taste. They often carefully select their prey, and this prey is a beauty in our eyes. It's just that different vampires have different preferences."

"Are you sure they only suck blood?" Mo Fan raised an eyebrow and asked. "Anyway, as long as it's not dawn, their sharp teeth can do whatever they want to women—" Huo Tuo said seriously. "Damn it, there are actually such beasts in this world! Don't they respect me, Mo Fan!" Mo Fan retorted angrily. Seeing that Mo Fan was going further and further off-topic, Zhang Chen quickly interrupted, "Professor Huo, hurry up and get to the point, or we'll have to leave."

Huo Tuo coughed twice and said, "It's all this kid's fault for changing the subject. I need a pair of vampire teeth. I'm pretty sure there are already these special creatures in this magical city that can mix with humans, and they've already made their move on many urban women."

"No? Where are we supposed to look in such a big city?" Zhang Chen asked. "Junnan, go to my office drawer and get that stack of documents!" Huo Tuo turned to Li Junnan and said, "I happened to see a vampire feeding a while ago. I didn't have time to save the girl. By the time I got her to the treatment center, she had already bled to death. Her family was also very poor. It's really pitiful for that girl. I posted a bounty in the Hunter Alliance, but no one has claimed it for a long time—this is the information and clue I know."

After seeing Li Junnan bring over the documents, Huo Tuo didn't want to say anything more and simply handed the documents to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen took the opportunity to estimate the price of the exotic scales. A single Xuan Snake scale was worth about five or six hundred million, but considering that Huo Tuo was a blacksmith, the price might be a bit inflated. Still, it was quite a lot, and Zhang Chen had more than a hundred scales under that tree.

"Okay! Hurry up and get it done." Zhang Chen was too lazy to waste time; finding things was Lingling's forte. "Hey, Lingling, we've got a big job, a big deal!" Mo Fan said. Not long after, Lingling arrived, and after understanding the situation, they decided to split up.

Mo Fan and Lingling went to the security guard to get the girl's death information and to ask the people who handled the case and the people the girl had contact with before her death.

Zhang Chen went to the girl's house to check on her. This hadn't been long, only about a month and a half ago. Zhang Chen walked into an old street and saw a building connected to the shops on the old street.

The house has only two floors, and the front faces the street where some snack shops and clothing stores are located.

The second floor is planted with many flowers, and some ivy surrounds it, adding a touch of color to this old house.

There's a small courtyard behind it, with a grape trellis where the drooping branches sway gently in the breeze.

Zhang Chen walked over and knocked on the door. A girl who looked rather pretty opened the door. She had a polite smile on her face, but there was a hint of melancholy between her brows.

She frowned slightly: "Who are you?"

Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is Liu Xian home?"

Zhang Chen deliberately asked the name of the deceased girl to see her reaction. This girl looked very similar to the deceased one, and it seemed that she had been bewitched.

These words deepened her melancholy. She said, "That was my sister. She passed away not long ago."

Zhang Chen was speechless. The information Huo Tuo provided didn't mention that she had a twin sister.

He pretended to be a little flustered and said, "I'm sorry! I didn't know, I just got back recently."

"Can you tell me how she died? I remember she only had some anemia before?"

Zhang Chen learned from the information Huo Tuo provided that vampires generally don't let girls die immediately from being sucked dry, but rather treat them as long-term meal tickets.

"You still haven't told me who it is!" Liu Ru said warily. Although her sister was indeed anemic for a period of time before she died, her sister shouldn't know this kind of person. It's obvious that this person is not from her social class.

It's also because Zhang Chen is clean-cut and handsome; even dressed plainly, he looks no different from a rich young master.

Zhang Chen spoke with great emotion: "I bought something from the shop where your sister works. Although we only met once, we unexpectedly had a very pleasant chat. We had agreed that I would bring her some photos of Hangzhou's scenery when I returned from Hangzhou, but alas! I never expected—"

Liu Ru felt a little relieved and said, "My sister died of a heart attack!"

Zhang Chen sighed and said, "Honestly, I told her back then to take good care of herself—sigh."

"Can I see her tombstone?" Zhang Chen asked deliberately. Seeing that Zhang Chen's performance seemed to be true, Liu Ru said with a slight tremor in her voice, "Our parents left us a long time ago, and my sister dropped out of school early to work and earn money for my education! My sister only has a portrait in her room."

"May I go in and pay my respects?" Zhang Chen asked. "Yes! The room might be a bit messy." Perhaps because Zhang Chen appeared too harmless, she only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
