Under One Person: I Can Change Jobs Infinitely

Chapter 106 The Alchemist and the Mage Classes

In Europe, some believe that vampires are actually undead creatures, an anomaly that must be eliminated.

Huang Yu agrees with this point, as evidenced by the mutual connection between the living dead Liu and Baker.

In Beck's mind, vampires must hide themselves and never let anyone discover their vampire identity, otherwise they will face annihilation.

Being killed is the best outcome; the most terrifying thing is being captured by alchemists and scientists to be experimented on, in order to study the source of the vampire's power and various secrets.

As for the legendary superpowers of vampires, such as strong physical abilities and regenerative abilities, eternal youth, and long lifespan, none of these exist.

Or rather, it does not exist or is not possessed by lower-level vampires.

The so-called low-level vampires are actually vampires born in recent generations. The more generations there are, the lower the bloodline level and the weaker the power.

However, the bad habits of fearing sunlight and needing to drink fresh blood every now and then were all inherited by the lower-class vampires.

The only advantage might be that vampires possess the talent to become superhumans, meaning they can mobilize the life energy within their bodies.

Unfortunately, Beck's bloodline level is only that of a low-level vampire, meaning he didn't enjoy many of the benefits while suffering all the disadvantages.

He took it.

Therefore, Beck has always been ashamed of his vampire identity and has always wanted to break free from the shackles of his bloodline and evolve his life level.

To this end, he worked hard to get into Victor College, where he studied alchemy and focused on human transmutation.

Upon seeing this part of the memory, Huang Yu seemed to be deep in thought.

The origins of vampires are unknown, but according to various legends, as well as Beck's own research and speculation, the progenitor of vampires should have been an extremely powerful alchemist.

Moreover, he is a master-level figure in human body alchemy!

Its human transformation has become so powerful that it can alter genetic material and pass on its modifications to its offspring.

"That's interesting. Their powerful physique, long lifespan, and the various superpowers that may be born are not unfounded, but rather real strengths of high-ranking vampires."

"What exactly was the purpose of the progenitor of the vampires? Was it merely to create an inhuman race?"

This method of mass-producing extraordinary individuals is an extremely high achievement, whether in Western alchemy, Eastern Qi cultivation, or other schools of thought around the world.

The Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley of Master Ziyang, the Body Cultivation Furnace of Ma Xianhong, and the Divine Tree of Nathan Island—these creations that can give people supernatural abilities are the powers that mortal rulers most desire or most want to prohibit.

And now, Huang Yu has seen another one—the vampires.

They can create Others through procreation and Embrace.

Despite its various flaws and the fact that its power gradually diminishes with each generation, it is indeed capable of mass-producing Inhumans.

Most importantly, vampires are capable of evolution.

It's very simple: just devour a higher-level vampire, absorb its bloodline power, and you will advance in rank.

It sounds simple, but it's actually very difficult to do.

First, higher-level vampires have a bloodline suppression over lower-level vampires, and the strength of lower-level vampires will be greatly reduced when facing higher-level vampires.

Secondly, high-ranking vampires generally hide themselves well. High-ranking vampires can sense low-ranking vampires, but low-ranking vampires cannot sense high-ranking vampires.

Beck searched for a long time and only managed to devour vampires with higher bloodline levels than himself twice.

The first time was with his great-grandfather, an old vampire who was old-fashioned and powerful. He could consume blood to quickly recover himself, but he was completely countered by Beck's blood alchemy.

The Blood Grail was obtained from my great-grandfather.

This Blood Grail is quite interesting. It's considered one of the sacred artifacts passed down through generations of vampires, and it's said to be a creation of the vampire progenitor.

The Blood Grail has a unique method of inheritance, allowing it to be integrated into the bloodline of vampires and randomly selected as a potential master.

When this master is killed by another vampire, another vampire can become its master.

Only vampires can use this cup; when not in use, it can be integrated into their blood.

If an outsider obtains this cup, it will quickly dissolve into blood and disappear, then randomly find a new vampire to become its owner.

"No wonder I couldn't find that cup; it's become part of my bloodline."

Huang Yu pondered. This method of inheritance was truly peculiar. It was estimated that only special human beings like the vampires, who were created through human refinement, could use this method to pass on their knowledge.

"In that case, I will have to find a new way to save the life of Patriarch Wei."

Huang Yu wasn't worried. Even without the Blood Holy Grail to refine the Blood of Vitality, he had a way to sustain the life of the Wei family head and extend it for another month without any problem.

A month is enough.

Beck's second absorption was of a vampire professor at Victor College.

The professor thought he could control Baker and make him work for him.

Unexpectedly, Baker later joined the Free Alchemy Association.

With Grinheim's help, the vampire professor was also devoured by Beck, thus achieving an upgrade in his bloodline level.

Seeing this, Huang Yu had another question: "Since vampires hunt each other, why would higher-ranking vampires create lower-ranking ones?"

"It couldn't be for love—"

He continued searching through his memories and soon found the answer.

It turns out that vampires can draw power from their own bloodline descendants!

As long as the first generation's descendants grow stronger, the source of their bloodline can plunder 10% of their power.

The second generation can receive a 1% commission.

The third generation can earn a commission of 0.1%.

It goes on from generation to generation, without end.

Even if they ultimately cannot gain power from the new generation, this pyramid-shaped energy flow structure can still allow blood...

The source of the pulse obtains excess profits.

Huang Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Damn, the vampires are truly a perverted race. They risk their lives to reproduce, but each offspring goes to great lengths to kill them in order to achieve the evolution of their bloodline, or simply because they don't want to be exploited."

"Every new generation of vampires, in order to become stronger, either needs to devour their own kind who are stronger than themselves, or even their relatives, or they need to produce more offspring."

"This kind of scheme is even worse than pyramid schemes—"

Then, Huang Yu's expression turned serious, and he suddenly thought of a very serious question.

"Is that powerful alchemist, the originator of the vampires, dead?"

"If he hadn't died, how powerful would his strength have become after so many generations of vampires?"

"No wonder, in Western Europe, vampires are universally hated, and there are even professional witch hunters who hunt them down."

"If left unchecked, vampires will surely become a cancer on human civilization, a parasite rotting deep within the bloodline!"

Shaking his head, Huang Yu put aside this terrifying conjecture.

Judging from the current situation, the vampires haven't made any significant impact; they're just some rats hiding in the shadows.

Whether that so-called progenitor of the vampires is dead or alive, he can't cause any trouble.

It's fine if they stay hidden, but if they dare to show their faces, they'll probably be hunted down by the entire Western supernatural community.

Those crazy alchemists don't care if you're some ancient ghost who's lived for thousands of years.

In the eyes of top alchemists, things in the world fall into only two categories: those worth spending time studying and those that are not worth bothering with.

The progenitor of the vampires was undoubtedly the unique research subject.

Immortality has been the purest pursuit of alchemists since ancient times.

"Hey, we can't deal with Western affairs for now, let them handle it themselves."

A sudden light flashed in Huang Yu's eyes. He had already organized the part about alchemy in Beck's memory.

Among them are basic alchemy learned at Victor Academy, as well as blood control alchemy researched by Beck himself.

As Huang Yu carefully perused his memories, he became immersed in them. This was a transcendent system completely different from Qi cultivation.

Like alchemists, alchemists also use the Qi within their bodies, or what they call life energy.

However, the two are fundamentally different in their usage.

Qi practitioners circulate Qi through their meridians to improve their physical condition or gain various special abilities.

Alchemists, on the other hand, choose to combine Qi with special transmutation arrays to transform one substance into a new one.

In Huang Yu's view, this alchemy array is actually a pattern or design with various special effects, representing a chemical equation for the transformation of one substance into another.

Based on whether or not living materials are involved, alchemy can be broadly divided into material transmutation and human transmutation.

For example, the most common material transmutation can be done by using a transmutation array to transform base metals into precious metals or to create specific alloys.

In the original timeline, Nathan Wesley followed this path. His revolver was engraved with various transmutation circles, representing effects such as "gold," "absorption," and "dissolution."

When he infuses his Qi into the firearm, the alchemy array on the gun instantly refines the Qi and bullet materials, transforming them into Qi bullets with various special effects—Qi bullets that can automatically track opponents, Qi bullets that can curve, and Qi bullets that can transform into powerful shockwaves.

The power of the various Qi bullets is no less than that of the revolver magic weapon that Huang Yu obtained before.

Going a step further, that involves human transmutation, which involves the transformation of inanimate objects into flesh and blood.

This is a rather taboo area in alchemy, but in this chaotic world, not many people care about it.

For example, Beck's blood alchemy falls under the category of human transmutation.

They can transform their own blood, or the blood of their enemies, into blood with special effects that they can control.

A sharp, blood-stained blade; a sturdy, blood-stained shield; blood bats that automatically attack enemies; and a weapon that causes enemies to bleed continuously, requiring only a small amount of blood to rebuild itself.

These are all special effects of the Blood Alchemy Technique.

A hint of admiration flashed in Huang Yu's eyes: "This Baker is indeed a genius. Blood control alchemy should also belong to the category of high-level alchemy in the field of alchemy."

"Unfortunately, the weakness of hemolysis was not addressed."

"If this flaw can be resolved, Baker won't be so easy for me to kill. At least given the strangeness of his methods, he can still escape."

However, Huang Yu speculated that this defect was not so easy to solve and might involve the nature of the blood.

Otherwise, given Baker's abilities, he would have already found a way to solve it.

He probably never imagined that Huang Yu would study his abilities two years in advance and look for various ways to target him.

After Huang Yu finished absorbing the basic alchemy techniques, several new pieces of information appeared on his consciousness panel.

Basic Alchemy (Beginner 0/100)

Blood Alchemy (Beginner 0/200)

1. Attribute increase; 2. Gain professional talent: Gene Editing; 3. Gain special bonuses:

(1) You are more likely to perceive the stability of creations made from flesh and blood. (2) You are more likely to perceive the compatibility between various substances.

"Tsk tsk, triggering the Alchemist class change and advancement in one go, not bad."

"The Eye of Truth, gene editing, sounds pretty good."

Excitement gleamed in Huang Yu's eyes. Having already switched jobs so many times, he had a pretty good grasp of the characteristics of each job's interface.

These most fundamental extraordinary professions generally require exceptional talent, which is deeply intertwined with career development.

For example, the Qi Refiner profession's "Refining Essence into Qi" skill has benefited Huang Yu to this day, giving him an unparalleled and vast amount of Qi.

Even a top-tier extraordinary person like Zuo Ruotong cannot compare to Huang Yu in terms of Qi quantity.

After scanning through the job change information, Huang Yu remained calm. The job change requirements were not difficult to meet; it simply required completing two alchemical creations.

If he were to directly undergo human transmutation, he could simultaneously become an Alchemist and advance to the Life Alchemy Master class.

Next, Huang Yu took out the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and summoned the spirits of Black Mist Will, Plague Woman, Transplant Monster, Corpse Concealer, and Corpse Daoist.

Huang Yu licked his lips, as if he was about to reap some fun rewards.

"Let me see what exactly your methods are."

A series of eerie spirits swept over, and Huang Yu used [Ghost Eater] to extract all the methods, inheritances, and key memories of the five people.

Soon, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face as he had thoroughly investigated everyone's methods and origins.

Among them, what Huang Yu was most concerned about was the legacy of Black Mist Will, who was not only an alchemist but also a dark magician.

Magic, another branch of the Western supernatural system, is related to alchemy, but it is a completely different cultivation system from alchemy.

Magicians refer to the energy within their bodies as magic power, and rely on outward incantations, magic circles, or bloodlines to guide this energy and unleash various types of magic.

Common elemental magic, holy light magic, and the most chaotic and evil black magic —

Upon closer inspection, a strange light appeared in Huang Yu's eyes.

"I always feel that the cultivation methods of magicians and esoteric practitioners are quite similar."

"Magicians need meditation to enhance their mental power, and Qimen practitioners need to cultivate stillness to enter their inner vision. Magic and Qimen techniques are equally versatile, and magic circles and Qimen formations share similarities."

"Tsk tsk, if a Qimen sorcerer were to practice magic, he could probably get the hang of it quickly."

"Well, the biggest difference is that Qimen Dunjia follows the will of heaven and earth, while magic follows the power of the mind —"

A job information flashed across the panel; Black Mist Will's knowledge of black magic had also triggered the job classes of [Mage] and [Black Mage].

[Extraordinary Profession - Mage (Tier 1)]

[Job Change Requirements: Learn one spell]

After changing jobs:

1. Attribute growth

2. Gain the professional talent: Do As You Please 3. Gain special bonuses:

After a quick glance at the class information for [Mage] and [Dark Mage], Huang Yu didn't look at it any further. He would know the specific talents and abilities after changing classes.

Next up are the alchemy of the Plague Woman, the Transplant Monster, and the Corpse Concealer.
