Wizard: Scamming a Demon God

Chapter 243: Chapter 193: Miracle of Life (2)

These were, of course, some special projects Smith had developed after seeing Lorna’s interest in helping.

For example, reclaiming wastelands. He would take land that had gradually been abandoned and cultivate it again, developing it like a normal territory, buying slaves, seeds, weapons...

Busy from morning till night!

Living an incredibly fulfilling life!

...

Just like that, a month later, when Philo sent over the list of treasures, Isaac’s experiments had just come to a temporary halt.

The goblin Demon Eye transplants now not only had ten successful subjects, but their conditions were also very stable. Judging from their physical data, there were no abnormalities.

Looking at the ten goblins steeping in the green solution, Isaac revealed a satisfied smile. He then turned to Liu Li, who was standing to the side, and asked, ”Are the Demons ready?”

”They’re all prepared. Ten Tier One Gale Wolves.”

”Mm,” Isaac nodded.

To be honest, as the weakest of the Non-Rank Demons, even with transplanted Demon Eyes, the goblins were no match for a Tier One Demon—not even a relatively weak one like a Gale Wolf.

But being outmatched was exactly what Isaac wanted. Only when pushed into a desperate situation would they unleash their greatest potential and use the Demon Eyes to their fullest extent.

At the same time, Isaac could also gain a more direct understanding of the Demon Eye fusion.

After all, Isaac was transplanting Demon Eyes for combat, not just for seeing.

”The Terra Royal Family sent over the list of treasures. Master, would you like to see it?” As she spoke, Liu Li handed a document to Isaac.

”So efficient?” Isaac raised an eyebrow. This wasn’t as simple as just taking inventory. These items would only truly be his once they were transported to the Imperial Capital. It couldn’t have been easy to deliver so many treasures in just one month. ’But that has nothing to do with me,’ he thought. ”Let’s have a look then.”

Isaac took the list, and his brow gradually furrowed. It wasn’t that the treasures were bad; it was that they were too good. For instance, there was an item called the Ithelas Treasure Box. This was a very famous treasure that connected to countless planes. Once a day, it could be used to cast the Great Plane Transmission Technique, allowing for the mass transport of resources from other planes!

Possessing it meant having a never-ending supply of resources.

Another example was the corpse of a Tier Five Divine Species—a complete corpse!

Whether used for research or fed to Shushu for consumption, it held immense value.

There were many other treasures of this caliber, but precisely because they were so good, Isaac couldn’t just take them. With his current strength, he wasn’t sure he could protect them.

Fortunately, Philo was also aware of this. The list came with an addendum: Isaac could reserve his choice, claiming it when needed, and could borrow one item for now.

This way, ownership of the treasure would remain with the Terra Royal Family. Anyone who wanted to make a move would have to consider both the Terra Empire and the Flesh Sect.

In truth, however, Philo could have just sent the note without the list. After all, if Isaac were to borrow something, he would definitely borrow the ultimate treasure, the [Life Derivation Technique of Francis].

He had never given up on the idea of replicating that thing. After all, if he managed to copy it, wouldn’t that just completely captivate the Master of Billions of Flesh?

Therefore, judging others by his own standards, Isaac concluded that Philo was doing this just to mess with him!

He just wanted to see Isaac’s expression of wanting something he couldn’t have!

’I, Isaac, will remember this grudge!’

Isaac narrowed his eyes and quickly circled the [Life Derivation Technique of Francis] on the list. He then handed it back to Liu Li. ”I won’t choose anything for now. I’ll borrow this first. There’s no rush. I can wait until they’re done using it. And bring me the combat data from the goblins and Gale Wolves as soon as it’s ready.”

”Yes, Master.” Liu Li took the list, nodded, and turned to leave.

Isaac, meanwhile, quickly walked over to another operating table and began a new surgery.

After a month, the slaves Isaac had purchased finally arrived: a full one hundred human males, all of them ”serious criminals.” Of course, Isaac didn’t know if that was actually true, but that’s what the Slave Trader, Remi, had said.

So this time, his transplant subjects were humans.

Although the data from the goblin Demon Eye test subjects hadn’t been fully collected yet, the remaining part concerned tissue rejection. This was unrelated to the transplant surgery itself, but rather to the post-operative recovery Magic and Magic Potions.

That part could be adjusted in real time, so it was fine to proceed with the transplants on these humans first.

Isaac’s previous practice had paid off. After switching the test subjects to humans, although Isaac was more cautious with his movements, his speed was much faster than when he had operated on the goblins, and his success rate was also very high.

After just half a month of sleepless work, he completed the transplant surgeries for all the human test subjects, with a success rate as high as ninety-one percent!

Only nine failed the surgery due to various other reasons.

Unlike the goblins, however, they didn’t die from the failed surgery. This was because they were slaves Isaac had paid for—and skilled ones at that, with considerable value.

So, upon discovering the surgical failures, Isaac decisively converted them into Dimension Apostles before they died, granting them eternal life and forcing them to work for him like beasts of burden.

Then, it was time for a new round of observation.

In the first phase of transplant surgeries, of the ten goblins that had initially survived, nine ultimately died in battle against the Gale Wolves. Only a single goblin lived.

Interestingly, it survived not because its fusion with the Demon Eye was the most perfect, but because the Demon Eye had a severe rejection reaction with the Magic Power in its body. Then, in the face of death, it relied on its tenacious will to survive and unleashed unprecedented potential. It overcame the rejection, not only achieving a deep fusion with the Demon Eye but also developing a new effect.

In addition to its original Freezing Ability, its Demon Eye gained the ability to summon goblins. The cost was extremely low. With its faint Magic Power, it could summon over ten goblins in total.

It was the combination of these two abilities that allowed it to defeat the Gale Wolf it should have been impossible to beat, perfectly demonstrating for Isaac what a Miracle of life truly was.

Unfortunately, after reviewing the data, Isaac discovered that this situation was unreplicable—a true Miracle of life in every sense of the word.

Fortunately, this didn’t have a major impact. Isaac still obtained enough data to optimize the existing Magic Potions and Magic to a certain extent.

As for this lucky goblin, Isaac had originally planned to promote it from a test subject to an official employee of the Mage Tower, just like Shushu. He already had plenty of monsters, so one more wouldn’t make a difference. Unfortunately...

It was just too ugly!

Moreover, the Demon Eye in the center of its forehead had fused a little too deeply. The originally Ruby-like pupil had been dyed green. Furthermore, its intelligence remained as low as ever, filled with the wild and savage instincts common to most goblins.

A case of all brawn and no brains.

Of course, Isaac didn’t dispose of it. After all, it was one of the Miracles of life he had witnessed with his own eyes. So, Isaac converted it into a Dimension Apostle. As a fighter, it was still somewhat interesting.

Moreover, after becoming a Dimension Apostle, it would break through the racial limits of a goblin, making it much easier for its strength to increase. And Isaac could feel that, under the influence of the [Profound] Concept from a part of the Dimension World, its Demon Eye was beginning to nurture a third, special kind of Magic Power.

Isaac looked forward to this. After all, what belonged to his Dimension Apostles was his.

...

And so, time passed again. A month later, the second phase of the control experiment was successfully completed.

For the second phase, Isaac divided the subjects into two groups. One group was treated normally with the improved Magic Potions and Magic, with real-time adjustments made according to their physical conditions. The other group was treated only with the improved Magic Potions and Magic, and their success rate was then corrected using his Golden Finger to provide a data comparison.

After the second phase of the control experiment was complete, Isaac still didn’t operate on himself. Instead, he used the data to make further optimizations to the Magic Potions and Magic, and then quickly began the third phase of experiments.

He spent another month on it, and only after confirming there were absolutely no issues with the transplant surgery did he finally begin to operate on himself.
