Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 202 Birth, Jia Xiu, Death, Three Inevitable Things for Vampires

In the following time, Jassi and Collins had a more detailed discussion about how to get all the vampires in the city to undergo modification.

Including but not limited to publicity, everyone needs to know that receiving services from the modified "new bloodline" is safer.

By leveraging the influence of the Phantom World—through newspapers, bards, operas, dance dramas, theater, and even entertainment—they created the impression among vampires that accepting transformation was a necessary step for every vampire to gain dignity and embrace the new era.

They encouraged every vampire to accept the transformation on time and voluntarily, and portrayed those who were unwilling to accept the transformation as negative examples to create pressure in public opinion.

We should vigorously promote the benefits of no longer sucking blood, and the elegant, artistic images of vampires from the past should be eliminated.

Instead, in literary and artistic works, the elegant ones should be the new blood clan of the new era, while those who still insist on sucking blood should be stubborn, morbid, and gloomy villains.

The tragic stories of famous people falling in love with vampires and ultimately being forced to separate or committing suicide together can now have happy endings.

Just follow the template of "a vampire duke or queen who originally resisted the transformation, but under the influence of her lover, chose to accept the transformation and eventually lived happily ever after."

As for why there haven't been any stories about vampires turning into vampires in the past, it's because various countries and organizations have always restricted the development of vampires, and therefore discouraged folk tales from having happy endings for vampires.

Transforming into a vampire to achieve immortality is the easiest and most "accessible" method among known ways to achieve longevity, making it quite attractive to ordinary people.

However, the fact that it dies instantly upon exposure to light, that the mother's orders supersede the state's orders, that it is prone to mental abnormalities, and that it cannot control its biting tendencies are all bad for the country.

In particular, the command of the parent entity takes precedence over that of the state.

Therefore, it is definitely not advisable to encourage this.

However, because they all ended tragically, vampire-themed love stories spread widely and became representative of the "youthful angst" genre, which was probably something those people didn't expect at the time.

During the exchange, both Jassi and Collins were somewhat surprised by each other's performance.

Collins was surprised that this kid from a small town was so receptive to this approach.

Jia Xiu never expected that this approach would be used so skillfully in the early days of print media.

But the most surprised one was Mia.

Ram and Bubu didn't react much because they didn't quite understand what they were hearing.

Mia understood everything.

On the one hand, she began to suspect that all information media were problematic, and that all the stories she had been obsessed with in the past were created under such guidance. Oh no, she was starting to believe those street vendor conspiracy theories.

On the other hand, she suddenly realized that her way of making money was incredibly "outdated." So this is how all the big shots make money? By directly pushing for legislation to reap the benefits. Making money by researching rules is definitely not as fast as changing them!
At the end of the exchange, Collins asked with a smile, "Since our vampire modification is so good, calling it 'modification' doesn't sound very nice. We should change it to a better name so that people will immediately think it's a good thing."

Jia Xiu thought for a moment, "I think that bloodlust is clearly a weakness of the vampire race. It is precisely because of bloodlust that the vampire has such a derogatory name. So, to help them get rid of this bloodlust flaw, we can call it... welfare. Yes, welfare. And the fees collected are the necessary funds for the implementation of welfare. After all, welfare systems also need funds to be implemented."

"Hmm, that makes sense. In that case, we can also make powerful vampires pay more money. The reason is that the more powerful the vampire, the more difficult it is to modify, so they have to bear more expenses. This way, we can also waive some fees for vampires who really don't have money, to show that we are really doing welfare."

"really."

Actually, it's not "certain" at all. Whether this spell is used on Elizabeth or on any other entity in the bathhouse, it makes absolutely no difference.

"Oh dear, in that case, the income generated by this benefit can be increased even further."

"Yes."

"Hahaha..." Collins laughed heartily.

"Hahaha..." Jia Xiu laughed in a fake way.

Inside the luxurious suites of the bathhouse, echoes of laughter emanated from the group of cronies, their illicit collusion, their shared filth, and their monstrous, wicked bond...

Collins laughed while pretending not to care, and asked casually.

"Haha, I see that the principle behind this patent application is a very unique casting method. It doesn't seem like magic used by humans. Could it have been discovered somewhere?"

“Hahaha,” Jia Xiu replied with a fake laugh, “I did discover a slightly different magic system, but it was discovered by the Holy Light Church. It happened by accident during an adventure mission. The Radiant Knight demigod was the main contributor. I just happened to be there, by chance.”

Jass was not caught up in Collins's nonchalant and sudden question at all.

All the unspeakable parts were dumped on the Radiant Knight.

In any case, Justina was indeed the first one to enter the tentacle monster dimension.

How could this not be a "major contributor"?

If you have any questions, go talk to the Holy Light Church.

If there's any organization on this continent that doesn't really give the Spellcasters' Association much face, it's the Holy Light Church.

Collins didn't react much to Jassi's answer, and still had a smiling expression.

"So it's the Holy Light Church. That's not surprising. You were able to draw inspiration from their discoveries and find a way to transform vampires. You're truly a prodigy."

While praising Jia Xiu, he wondered how much of that statement was true and how much was false.

It's highly likely that it was adulterated; the only question is how much was adulterated.

However, it's not convenient to directly contact the Holy Light Church to confirm.

He had already figured out what kind of sorcerer Jia Xiu was. Many sorcerers were completely misled by the name of their profession. They were clearly honest people with few complicated thoughts, but when others heard that he was a sorcerer, they would think the worst of them.

This Jia Xiu is absolutely worthy of the profession of sorcerer; he is incredibly wicked and also very talented. It's clear that he will achieve even greater things in the future.

If the reputation of sorcerers worsens in the future, Jia Xiu will definitely bear the main responsibility.

As for now, we can only assume that most of what Jia Xiu said is true.

The association was aware of the close relationship between the Radiant Knight and Jashu.

They went to rescue people during the demon invasion, so it must have been taken very seriously.

Add to that a demigod from the Papacy, who suddenly starts some kind of hellish joke contest.

She actually managed to attract quite a few casual believers.

It was probably Jia Xiu's idea too.

So, it's highly likely that Jashu is the chosen one of the Radiant Knights, and that mysterious sect leader might also be connected to the Holy Light.

This truly shows that a demigod is matched with a chosen one.

Having figured out this, Collins couldn't help but elevate his regard for Jashy to an even higher level.

"You flatter me, you flatter me."

Jia Xiu waved his hand modestly.

They are unaware that they have already been chosen by God.

"That's all for today. Jia Xiu, go back and revise the patent details first, and then I'll prepare to lobby the councilors in various cities."

After Collins finished speaking, he stood up to say goodbye.

If you're going to go all out, the information about the magic patents needs to be made public. What if someone with ulterior motives discovers that this version is actually permanently effective?

Collins had already reached the door when he suddenly stopped and turned around to ask.

"There's something else I'm curious about. The patent says that you want to replace the original blood addiction with an addiction to other things. What are you planning to use as a substitute? I see that there are already quite a few modified bodies here at the bathhouse."

"Oh, this one? I replaced it with animal organs."

"Organs?"

"Those things like the heart, liver, lungs, and intestines."

Upon hearing what Jassi said, Collins showed a look of disgust, but only for a moment before he quickly regained his composure.

As a descendant of a pure-blooded magic family, Old Larvin was born into a family of spellcasters. He had been touching crystal balls since he was 3 years old and had never experienced poverty. He had never eaten the things that Jia Xiu had mentioned in his entire life.

Now, at first glance, it seems even worse than bloodsucking.

How are you supposed to eat those things?

They've already ripped off—no, they've given the vampires a freebie—and now they're expecting them to eat this in the future? Isn't that a bit much?

"Why were these chosen?"

"These things are cheap, easy to obtain, and in ample supply. The vampires are addicted to them, but it won't have any other impact."

"Thoughtful, Jia Xiu is very considerate. Goodbye then, and I wish our vampire welfare distribution work goes smoothly."

After saying that, Collins led his men away from the bathhouse.

"Alright, we're all set for now. We can deal with the rest of the bathhouse activities later when the benefits come through. Let's go back to school."

Jia Xiu said to the others.

"Tsk tsk tsk," Mia shook her head and exclaimed, "This is too outrageous, this plan is too outrageous." "So, are you going to make money off the vampires or not?"

"earn."

Mia did not hesitate for a moment.

That's how "sincere" their love for money is.

"Let's go, mentor. What are you all standing there for? What's wrong? Want to extend your stay at the bathhouse?"

What is adding time?

Because of the presence of strangers, the shyness and hiding mechanism was triggered, and Elizabeth, who hadn't appeared for quite some time, asked a question.

"It just means extending service hours," Jia Xiu explained in a very official manner.

Margaret remained unresponsive.

His eyes were empty and vacant, as if his soul had been ripped from his body, and he looked like a madman, muttering to himself as if he were talking about something.

Jia Xiu felt completely bewildered.

what's the situation?
How come he's like this after not paying attention for a while? Shouldn't someone in their twenties suddenly develop Alzheimer's? He looks like he's still as virgin as ever.

Jasmine leaned closer, trying to hear what Margaret was muttering.

I had to put my ear right up to her mouth to hear her murmured words.

Before he understood what was going on, Jia Xiu even wondered if he was possessed by a demon.

until……

"I haven't been selected as an Outstanding Young Scientist yet, I haven't been selected as an Outstanding Young Scientist yet, I haven't..."

"..."

Oh no, he's become his mentor's "inner demon."

"How about this, when I've made it big enough to be eligible for recommendations, I'll recommend you first."

Jia Xiu felt that with his current rate of publishing papers, plus his mentor Marcus Aurelius, who was also an academician, he had both the ability and connections to get recommended for a position, so it shouldn't be too long.

"Really? You said it!"

Margaret quickly broke free from her inner demons.

Jia Xiu quickly suspected she was framing him.

"Don't lie to me, or I'll... I'll expose all the terrible things you've done!"

Jia Xiu was completely baffled. What terrible thing had he done?

"Alright, please move to San Teruo."

"Hey, by the way, what did you ask Juan to do when you talked to him earlier?"

"Him? I asked him to help me negotiate some deals..."

……

Angela Tita, one of the top girls at Vampire Bath.

This name is her stage name, or more accurately, her stage nickname.

It's just that she's used this nickname for so long that she's almost forgotten her original name.

As the top courtesan, she naturally enjoyed certain privileges at the bathhouse.

For example, more flexible working hours and a more sufficient blood supply.

She loved chilled blood plasma. In a glass, warm blood was poured onto an exquisitely crafted ice ball, and she would drink it all down before it froze.

It helps her forget the fatigue from work.

As someone working in the service industry, although the workload isn't too heavy, it's mentally exhausting.

You always seem to meet amazing guests.

Today, I was looking forward to enjoying a glass of my favorite blood plasma, but suddenly I felt that I had completely lost interest in those things.

Oh, by the way, I received a makeover from my colleague, the Ancient One, today.

I will no longer be bloodthirsty.

So what methods can be used to relieve fatigue?
the large intestine?

When the word popped into her head, Tita was startled.

How could she have thought of something like that?

Is this something a top star should be thinking about?

It doesn't suit her at all.

But once this idea popped into my head, I couldn't shake it off.

And it's getting stronger and stronger, almost like being possessed.

After a brief struggle, she chose to compromise. In this line of work, it's not unusual to compromise one's desires.

I was just about to ask someone to buy it for me. I definitely can't buy this myself; if I get caught, how can I be the top star?

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

The person who came was her little maid.

Yes, the top courtesan also had a maid.

The maid was carrying a food box.

The moment Tita smelled the food box, she felt like she was about to lose her mind.

What's in there?
Could it be... the large intestine?
"what is that?"

"Ms. Carol gave it to you, saying that the blood supply will be changed to this from now on. I don't know anything about it."

"Okay, give it to me quickly."

Tita is about to lose control.

As soon as she took it, she noticed a very familiar logo on the box.

The most common sign I've seen recently in this line of work.

The logo of the Juan Giacomo brand represents workplace safety and the prevention of infectious diseases.

Why, why is their logo on the food box?

……

At this moment, in Collins' office at the Spellcasters' Guild.

Collins faced his subordinates.

"What do you mean that the slaughterhouses in the city and the farms outside the city have already signed contracts with people?"

"Yes, they said someone insisted on signing a contract with them today to buy out their organ supply, and they were very generous with the offer."

"What about other cities?"

“We went to several cities, asked around in several major cities, and all of them had signed contracts, and it was all signed by the same person.”

"A person! Is it Jia Xiu?"

Collins now felt that Jash was even more sinister than he had previously thought.

"No."

Hearing the negative answer, Collins breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair.

"Who is that?"

"It's said that it was someone who called himself Juan..."
