The world was fair after all.
That was what Lu Sheng thought when he got his hands on the first piece of meat from the House of Sepharos.
The girl who delivered the meat also gave him a list of the current members of the family's research team. The pitiful list contained only three names, mixed with some of their messy research projects.
"With so many precious specimens, you came up with this kind of garbage?" Lu Sheng shook his head speechlessly as he looked at the list.
"Void Monster Flesh Incubator", "Universal Monster Feed", "Galdo Miniature Massage Chair", "Red Hair Medicinal Wine", "Spiral Magnetic Field Detector", "Environmental Fluorescent Safe Butt Cream (Newborn Baby Version)" …
"What the hell is this?" Lu Sheng was speechless.
"These are the flagship products of the major enterprises of the Sepharos family. Some of them are supplied to special departments, and some can be used by ordinary people. Please don't look down on these products meaninglessly. They have brought a lot of profit to the family. "
The girl who delivered the list was a sweet girl with short blonde hair, but her expression was a little serious.
She seemed to be the little assistant that Arnie had always been by his side.
"What about now?" Lu Sheng asked. "Since I'm here, then give me the basic right to research freely. That's not a problem, right? Arnie promised me before. "
"Of course." The little assistant nodded. "The master did promise that."
"Then prepare the materials I need as soon as possible. This specimen is only the first step. Also, I need a research site and a candidate for the assistant. "
"We've already arranged it. The school's Phers Research Institute is available for you to use. It's a research institute funded by the Sepharos family, and it has a cooperative relationship with the school." The little assistant replied seriously.
"In other words, this is a place I can use as I please?" Lu Sheng was overjoyed. Finally, there was a place he could research freely.
"Yes. That's the family's territory, and it has nothing to do with the school. We just pay a fixed part of the supervision fee every year. "The little assistant nodded.
"I understand. The project I promised was to carry out structural optimization and tactical design for Arnie's Light of Hell. That's why I need the original form of Hell's Light, a monster specimen of the Hell Ripper. Of course, it's fine if you have an evolved version, or even better. "Lu Sheng continued to list his needs.
"I will mention this to the Patriarch. Also, you can call me Hong Yin in the future, "the assistant reminded.
"Understood. After that, I'll go back to the lab and focus on Arni's research project. "Lu Sheng nodded.
"I'll have to trouble you then."
"Call me Qianshen from now on. Don't call me by my name, "Lu Sheng reminded after thinking for a while.
"Alright. Then I'll take my leave first. "The assistant bowed slightly and turned to leave the room.
Lu Sheng looked at her back as she walked away. He quickly closed the door and weighed the exquisite black box in his hand.
Even through the box, he could still feel the thick Void Factor that was constantly being released from it.
"The Night Library is under control for now. However, magic beasts are highly resistant to hypnosis, so I need to go there every few days to strengthen the effects of the hypnosis. This side is still under control for now. If it's the Sephalus Family … "
He returned to the desk and flicked his hand. Instantly, Gula's power swept out and dispersed from his fingers, quickly forming an invisible box structure on the desk.
Lu Sheng put the black box in his hand into the box.
* Clack. *
He gently turned on the switch and took out a piece of lean meat that looked like black pork. There was a small surprise on the side.
It was a purple stone that seemed to have been eroded by something.
"Very good. This specimen should be able to make up for the Void Factor I'm currently lacking. "
Lu Sheng looked at the piece of meat and tore open the plastic packaging. He held it raw and stuffed it into his mouth.
He took a small bite.
A thick and tender fragrance, along with the meat's own freshness, flowed into his mouth.
"Not bad …" Lu Sheng chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed. He felt refreshed all of a sudden.
"Just the Void Factor meat provided by the school cafeteria wouldn't be enough for me even if I ate for another hundred years. It's still so refreshing to eat like this. "
Of course, if an ordinary student dared to eat like him, they would probably be a corpse on the streets the next day. Or they would be demonized, completely possessed by the Void Devil's will and lose their humanity.
Quickly and efficiently, Lu Sheng finished the rest of the raw meat in a few mouthfuls. He even licked his fingers in satisfaction.
"Although it's not as good as alive, this sweet freshness … it's simply irresistible!" He could not help but praise in a low voice.
Raising his hand, Lu Sheng could already see the sixth organ on his right arm wriggling.
"With the Void Factor replenished, is it going to evolve to the sixth form now?"
He felt the skin on his arm itching. Large amounts of new flesh sprouted from the side of the organ, as if it was reshaping the entire structure.
This evolution was far less dramatic than the previous ones. However, the evolution from the fifth form to the sixth form was still a qualitative change. Hence, the appearance of the sixth organ changed once more.
From the previous two stacked discs of flesh and blood, it became a vortex with layers of spirals that continuously overlapped and sunk inwards.
From time to time, wisps of white aura would appear at the edge of the vortex and be quickly sucked in. Whenever this happened, Lu Sheng could feel something being sucked into his body.
The evolution to the sixth form was completed in no time.
His body needed some time to adapt so that the Gula Power in his body could keep up with the speed of this evolution. The growth of the Gula Power basically depended on the cultivation of the Codex.
For other students, this process would require a long period of arduous cultivation and polishing. However, for Lu Sheng, spending some Mental Energy at night was enough to solve this problem.
After the evolution was completed, almost immediately, Lu Sheng felt as if there were countless transparent dots in the air around him. They seemed to be pulled by a vacuum, and began to surge madly into his body and the sixth organ.
The entire sixth organ was like a filter, or perhaps a communication point. It connected the outside world to the main body's spirit.
After some of the impurities in the outside world were filtered out, the rest flowed into the main body hidden within Jack's spirit.
The main body's spirit began to grow at a rapid pace at the same time.
This rate of growth was so terrifying that even Lu Sheng was a little fearful.
'My main body has already reached a level where it can destroy a planet. With such a huge volume, the amount needed to grow is even more terrifying. How can it grow so much in such a short time … Looks like there are still many things in this world that I don't understand … I'll use this time to study them.'
Fortunately, this growth quickly stopped after his main body's spirit expanded by three times. This allowed Lu Sheng to heave a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, he would have to worry that he would become the first Void Underworld Heavenly Devil in history to explode from having too much Soul Power.
Although his body and spirit were slightly out of sync, and he could not control them stably, he was at least out of danger.
After lunch, Lu Sheng went to the academy to inspect the Formation's Descent Point. He made sure that it was not damaged. Then, he drew the Descent Point at a new spot.
After that, he went to instruct the little fellow, Yi An.
At night, he slowly made his way to the address of the research center given to him by Arni.
"Bam."
The door to the research center was pushed open slowly. Inside was a closed sliding door with a metal sign that said, "No Trespassing."
Through the glass door, he could see that the hall inside was pitch-black. It was clear that no one had been here for a long time.
Lu Sheng lowered his head and looked at the ground. From the moment he entered to where he stood, there were only his footprints.
The clear footprints were exceptionally eye-catching in the surrounding white dust.
He took out his key, walked up, and inserted it into the keyhole. Then, he twisted it lightly.
"Click."
The door opened.
There was a faint, crisp sound of a key being clicked.
The research center was not big. Lu Sheng spent an hour familiarizing himself with the environment, and tidied up the research materials that had been left here in the past.
Most of them were the specimens that were left here. There were a total of five long-term specimens here. Two of them had already rotted away, while the other three still maintained a small amount of activity. All of them were sealed in strengthened glass jars that were taller than a person.
From afar, they looked like clumps of twisted flesh monsters, corpses soaked in formalin.
"Eh? There's still radiation from the Heretic God's divine power? "
In the isolation room, Lu Sheng found a delightful surprise.
"This is a gift for you." Arni pushed the door open and entered. She held a black training bag in her hand, her expression calm as she walked into the research center.
"I just finished training, so I came to check on the situation here."
Lu Sheng turned around to look at her.
"Not bad. The conditions here are much better than I thought. "
"So you mean we can start work right away?" Arni quickly asked.
"Of course. Then, what project do you want to push forward? The first is to optimize the structure and tactics of your Helllight. You know that the professors have to take care of so many students, so most of their tactics are very crude. If you have a tactic that is completely designed for yourself, then the actual combat effectiveness might be increased by thirty to fifty percent. "Lu Sheng explained simply.
"That much!" Arni was slightly shocked. She had only heard of twenty percent of the previous researchers. They were completely incomparable to what Lu Sheng had mentioned.
In fact, if not for the Delan Society's expenditure, the family's inability to sustain itself, and the previous researchers leaving due to insufficient pay, she would not have thought of asking Lu Sheng to join her.
He was originally just a substitute, but now she felt as if she had picked up a treasure.
After a moment's hesitation, Arni said softly, "I need everyone to optimize the Codex's training mode."
"Sure."
"Also, I need you to optimize my Helllight's Void Factor."
Void Factor Optimization was a process that all Taboo students had to go through. The sixth cognitive organ of the Taboo Branch was powerful, but at the same time, the will and agitation of Void Aberrations it contained were far stronger than that of other Taboo Schools.
That was why optimizing the Void Factor to make it more compatible with humans and not Void Aberrations, thus reducing the Void Aberrations' will's corruption and their control over flesh and blood. That was what Taboo Schools had to do.
Students from other Schools would not be able to enjoy such treatment.
"No problem. I've done many similar optimizations with Professor Dahl." Lu Sheng nodded.
"Then, let me have a checkup first. Can the equipment still be used? "Arni's last question carried a hint of apprehension.
The current House Silfarus was already poor enough. If there was a problem with the equipment here, research equipment like this would usually cost an astronomical price. If there was a problem, then the expenses …
The family really did not have any money now …
