I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 145 Next Generation Dragon Bone Spirit

A moment of silence.

Genjiro carefully reviewed the list again, then carefully chose his tone before slowly speaking: "Haku... Ms. Uchiha Hikaru, the items you listed are indeed products that human society has already invented, but..."

"There's a small problem."

Genji tapped the piece of paper a few times: "A significant portion of these instruments are not available in Japan, and we may need to contact manufacturers in Europe or America directly. Even if we can successfully negotiate, the price will likely be quite high..."

This is normal.

The most expensive part of scientific research is experimental equipment.

Especially for high-precision equipment that only a few manufacturers are capable of producing and that is used only in national institutions or cutting-edge laboratories, the price is often astronomical. Moreover, the subsequent training and maintenance costs may be much more expensive than the price of the equipment itself.

Even a conservative estimate would require several billion yen to complete the purchase.

This is nothing compared to buying a few comic books.

While the Sheqi Hachike are undoubtedly wealthy and the shadow emperors of the Japanese underworld, it is not easy for them to mobilize such a massive cash flow in a short period of time.

not to mention……

Uesugi Koshi had only recently returned to the Hebi-Hachi family, and if he wanted to use this amount of funds, he would probably have to consult with the other family heads first...

Genjiro seemed worried that Uchiha Hikaru, as the "Dragon King," lacked common sense about human society, so he explained it in great detail.

"...You don't need to explain in such detail, I can understand."

Uchiha Hikaru waved his hand.

She hadn't calculated it carefully before, but now that she thought about it, the total price of these instruments was indeed not a small amount. The Snake-Ghost Eight Families could definitely afford it, but it would take some time, and it might affect other businesses within the family, even provoking discontent among some people.

—If it were Su Enxi, it probably wouldn't matter, since the latter is someone who could scrape together a hundred million US dollars for Lu Mingfei in no time...

"All right."

"I know this request is a bit excessive, but I still hope you can help me as much as possible in exchange..."

Uchiha Hikaru thought for a moment, then took out two capsules from his person and opened one of them:

"This medicine is a serum inhibitor that I had someone make. It can effectively stabilize the bloodline ratio of mixed-race individuals and prevent them from going out of control... It should be useful for those 'ghosts' in your family. You can take it back and study it to see if you can mass-produce it."

The term "demon" refers to the hybrids from the Snake Clan whose bloodlines have gone out of control.

Erii is actually a "demon," but because she was raised and protected from a young age, her temperament is relatively stable, which is why she did not become a member of the Fierce Demon Clan.

In theory, since serum inhibitors worked on her, they should work on those "ghosts" as well.

"besides……"

Uchiha Hikaru opened another capsule: "This thing is no longer of any use to me. You guys take it and see if you can make a few alchemical weapons."

As the sealing technique was broken.

A pile of blood-soaked bones appeared in the wooden room.

A hard spine, bluish-black scales, and large claws...

Even if it's just a part of a complete corpse, you can tell how majestic and imposing its owner must have been in life.

That's right.

This is the corpse of the Dragon Bone Demon!

The Dragon Bone Demon was enormous, much larger than Manda. What Totosai took away earlier was only its main body; a small portion of its remains was collected by Uchiha Hikaru.

Originally, she hadn't figured out how to use this part of the corpse, and had even considered trying to dig out the flesh and roast it, but now...

"If you can make it into a weapon, remember to save one for me."

Compared to Uchiha Hikaru's understated approach.

After a moment of stunned silence, Genjiro stood up abruptly from the sofa, staring ahead in horrified disbelief: "What is this?!"

"The corpse of a pure-blooded dragon?!"

……

"That's right, they're dragons!"

at the same time.

The dozen or so people in white coats sitting in the control room also stood up from their chairs in unison.

Erii was already surrounded by several medical teams responsible for monitoring her.

After Uchiha Hikaru, who is suspected to be the "incarnation of the White King", appeared, the medical team that was originally only used to observe Tsukuyomi's health condition was rapidly expanded, and its responsibilities were expanded to include researching the origins, personality and preferences of "Miss White King", as well as her relationship with "Tsukuyomi".

In order to better accomplish these tasks.

Almost every one of these medical personnel had a copy of "Naruto".

The Snake-Headed Eight Family even invested in building a studio for Masashi Kishimoto, and selected several family members with manga talent to be his assistants, and then kept trying to "awaken" Kishimoto's memories of entering "Nibelungen".

Whether it's been awakened or not is unknown, but the plot of Naruto has started to take a strange turn...

And now.

With the reappearance of Uchiha Hikari, the medical team quickly got to work.

"By analyzing the lists that Ms. 'White King' made on these two occasions, we can determine that she is studying the human body structure. Last time, she observed the surface through H-manga, and this time she wants to observe the inside through medical instruments..."

"The so-called 'serum inhibitor' was probably made from her own blood. After all, according to ancient texts, the Dragon King's blood can be used to stabilize the bloodline of hybrids..."

"The corpse she's producing now is very likely the remains of a third-generation species... no, even a second-generation species!"

"Based on the length and size of that claw, we can roughly estimate its body shape before birth..."

Amidst a heated discussion.

Someone raised their hand: "Is it possible that the two requests made by that 'White King' were unrelated, and that she simply wanted to see some risqué stuff...?"

"Shut up! How can you use human thinking to judge a Dragon King?"

Another person retorted sharply.

The person who raised their hand argued in a low voice: "But there really were dragon kings in history who had a penchant for eroticism, like Attila the Hun, who lived more than a thousand years ago..."

"Um……"

There was a moment of silence in the control room, and then a new round of discussion began.

……

Unbeknownst to Hikaru Uchiha, his image as the "White King" had become even more solidified due to the appearance of the Dragon Bone Spirit's corpse.

She was now making another request to Genji: "There's one more thing."

I need a legal identity, and passports from all the major countries in the world. That should be easy for you Snake Clan to handle, right?

I've been working overtime these past few days, and I only have time to write after I get home, so updates have been quite late. I'll resume my normal update schedule once this busy period is over. Please forgive me...
