"Ahhh?"

Sean jumped up from the bed.

White snake grass water is the most unpalatable drink on the list.

"System, are you kidding me?" He punched the system hard. The system dodged.

The goal will be achieved by fixing Xien. The system waved the force potion in front of him and said calmly:

"Well, I suggest you try it yourself. The language on the Internet is sometimes too exaggerated."

"Okay."

Xien took the strength potion and tasted it carefully.

......

"It seems like, I really don't feel anything,"

Sheen was stunned, then he gulped down the drink.

"Isn't it just some soda water with some bubbles?"

Xien covered his mouth and hesitated for a moment, then he finally reacted:

"So you're trying to scare me?"

The system stuck out its tongue at Xien:

"Of course I'm just trying to scare you, why don't you get up and do your homework?"

The system pointed to the magic books and orthodox courses piled up on the desk nearby.

"If Arthur comes back and finds out that you used it to play with while he was away, won't he scold you to death?"

Sean was helpless about this (he didn't want to do his homework).

time does not wait.

Sean climbed down from the bed obediently, walked slowly to the desk and sat down, then spread out the papers and the borrowed magic book on the table.

There were several sheets of paper on the table waiting for him to copy the magic formulas on them:

"Well, there are too many things to deal with during this period. Now we have to complete the topping-out process of the unfinished building..."

It's like the last night of summer vacation, when every house is brightly lit:

A pen, a lamp, a night, a miracle.

As he was thinking, he suddenly opened the magic book.

Although he had already passed the magic spell he was supposed to copy, the content of the opened page attracted Sheen's attention.

Homunculus.

This word seems to have appeared somewhere -

and many more?

"It seems that the next mission is about Homunculus!"

As he was thinking, Sheen picked up the page and read it with great interest:

This word means "artificial man" and is a form of alchemy.

(Ada mentioned it)

"The origin of the artificial human is 'the little man in the bottle or the little man in the flask'. It is the forbidden crystallization of ancient black magic, which can become a human form when cultivated in a flask.

Their appearance is very close to humans, but they are not real people. "

“They exist, but they are not clean.

They were created by self-righteous, mortal men seeking their own selfish gain to confuse right and wrong.

They would respectfully address the Creator as 'Father'.

They shouldn’t exist.”

Sheen held the book in his hands and read it quietly.

But for some reason, he felt a chill on his back while reading the book. Just by reading every word in the book, Sheen felt like he had become the "father" in the words of the artificial man.

That kind of depraved hypocrite.

"His..."

I will probably experience this chilly feeling many times in my future studies: after all, black magic is the most evil, most terrifying and fearful of all magics in existence.

In addition, there are still two hard nuts to crack for this body (sacrifice magic and puppet magic), both of which require sacrificing something in order to get a reward.

For example, the blood of the orthodox bloodline.

...

Xien swallowed his saliva when he thought of this:

I would really thank...

Romos once mentioned to Sheen, "You are born with the attribute of black magic, so when you use magic for yourself, the cost of sacrifice will be much lower than that of ordinary people."

For example, a little bit of negative emotion, a little bit of blood, a period of black magic collision, or some consumption of physical strength.

Such a "gift" still makes Sheen lose interest in black magic.

After coming to his senses, Sheen still felt that he should continue reading:

(Continued from above)

"The essence of the android is a monster in human form."

"Although their appearance is very close to humans, they are of course different from humans.

Their blood is bright green."

"Since they are man-made monsters, they are not perfect, so they have flaws in some places."

......

"call..."

Despite the knowledge gained, it did not seem to bring any improvement to the mission.

Sean looked up and saw the system display still had a big message "Mission in Progress".

This is a bit outrageous. Sheen curled his lips.

"Do I have to catch a cyborg to complete this mission?" Sheen thought to himself.

He hoped this would be the last mission for this body before it turned 14.

......

It was another rare rest time. Sean, who had wanted to stay at home during the rest time, received an invitation from Ada last night.

"Ada actually wrote me an invitation?"

After learning about this, Sheen took a letter opener and carefully opened the envelope.

Although the invitation packaging is simple, it has a unique novelty.

Sheen could smell a faint scent of camellia on the plain invitation.

After opening it, the cute small fonts are organized into an imperial sentence style on the letter paper:

"Sister Olive and I will be fishing in Uncle Arthur's backyard river tomorrow. Do you want to come?"

Hmm. Sheen thought about it.

It's just a few steps away, so of course I still have to go.

"People need to rest."

The next day, in the backyard of Arthur's residence.

Sheen was wearing casual clothes and sunglasses, lazily lying on the lounge chair he brought, basking in the warm spring sunshine.

It's so pleasant.

Sheen thought this would be a rare leisure time, but he didn't expect that the opportunity to complete the mission would appear so soon.

Ada and Olive, who were not far from Sheen, were also dressed casually.

Ada was wearing a linen midi skirt, black stockings, and the shark clip was still buckled behind her head.

Olive still wore the same style as at the time, wearing a casual windbreaker and gray trousers, and this time she changed her hairstyle to a half ponytail.

They sat by the river and fished, facing the warm breeze.

"Squeak-"

Sheen suddenly struggled to get up, making a slightly loud noise.

"Shh!"

Ada immediately gave Sheen a "hush" command and whispered quietly,

"Keep your voice down, Xien! You're scaring my fish away!"

"Ah, it's hard to exert force on the folding bench." Sheen muttered.

Finally, Sheen sat up and looked at their respective buckets:

...

"Well, it's been over an hour..."

Sean looked at the fish jumping in Olive's bucket, then at Ida's empty bucket.

He turned to Ada and muttered:

"Is it because you are not strong enough?"

(The greetings from the straight man always make people feel like they are being poured cold water)

"Uh uh uh,"

Aida gave Sheen an awkward smile.

"What's the matter? I'll have a fish on my hook soon--"

Ring ring ring!

The bell tied to Ada's fishing rod suddenly rang.

"Reel in the line quickly! It's a big fish!"

The experienced Olive quickly stood up, picked up Ada's fishing rod, and waved to Sheen.

"Don't just stand there, come and help!"
