Buying a house, moving in, and settling down all in one day.
Yan Luo was someone who acted swiftly and decisively, doing exactly what he said.
When he moved, many people in the apartment building were surprised.
After all, Yan Luo had only been living here for four months, and he was already moving out?
Yan Luo contacted a moving company, which sent over a number of robots, utilizing the building’s robotics-exclusive pathways to rapidly move all of Yan Luo’s personal belongings.
During the move, Yan Luo ran into Li Xinyue, who was about to head to the Abyss for a hunt. She asked in surprise, "You’re moving out?"
Yan Luo nodded, "Yes, I bought a villa, it comes with a gym."
Hearing this, Li Xinyue couldn’t help but show a look of envy.
She and Yan Luo were peers; four months ago, they took the Hunter exam together, and now Yan Luo could afford a villa that even had a gym. It was obvious it cost a lot of money.
Her eyes inadvertently glanced at Sasa standing next to Yan Luo, and Li Xinyue pursed her lips slightly, saying softly, "I’m off to the Abyss for a hunt; my teammates are waiting for me."
Yan Luo nodded, offering a blessing, "Good luck."
Li Xinyue waved her hand in reluctant farewell, turned, and left. Sasa gave her departing figure a meaningful look before silently sending a message to Wang Lingyu.
After Li Xinyue left, all of Yan Luo’s personal items had been moved.
Yan Luo deactivated his identity in the apartment’s property system, then got on his motorcycle with Sasa and headed to the newly purchased villa.
On the way, Sasa suggested, "I recommend buying some mutated creature meat regularly. It can help disguise your excessive strength and also train your ability to digest Magic Power. If I’m not mistaken, your capability to digest Magic Power is gradually increasing. The more you digest, the more this ability can be enhanced."
If that’s the case, it’ll be an additional expense...
Yan Luo began to consider the feasibility of this idea.
Upon arrival, the robots began unloading, and Yan Luo and Sasa stood in front of the villa, watching as robots moved back and forth between the truck and the villa.
At that moment, Sasa suddenly said, "Next time you go on an Abyss hunt, I want to go with you too."
Catching him off guard with such a startling statement, Yan Luo almost jumped out of his skin.
"What?!" Yan Luo involuntarily exclaimed and immediately refused, "No way! You can’t go!"
Sasa was on the team for Abyss research, possessing credentials to enter the Abyss.
However, generally speaking, researchers did not go into the Abyss for field study directly. Instead, they hired Hunters to capture some Demons from the Abyss for them to research, and then employed a war group along with some scattered squads and lone Hunters to protect themselves during field studies in the Abyss.
Though some researchers also possessed Engravings, theirs hadn’t undergone any growth, and they themselves lacked combat training, rendering their combat capabilities negligible; even ordinary-grade Demons could kill them.
In the Abyss, Yan Luo wasn’t exactly swimming effortlessly like fish in water, but he wasn’t struggling either.
However, if he had to protect an ordinary person who couldn’t lift a finger, his activities in the Abyss would instantly become more than tenfold difficult.
Sasa shook her head and said, "I need to conduct a thorough check on your entire body. That’s not something you can handle; I have to do it myself—can you really relax if it’s done here at Blue Star?"
She said that, but...
Yan Luo frowned slightly and sank into thought.
After a moment, he quietly asked, "Why are you doing all this?"
As Sasa mentioned this, she seemed to brighten entirely.
"Your existence is unique, the first ever! The only successful case!"
Because they weren’t currently in a soundproof enclosed space, and those assisting robots had voice-recording functions, Sasa did not explicitly reveal Yan Luo’s special traits.
The only successful case?
Upon hearing that, Yan Luo realized that some scholars might have conducted some unthinkably insane experiments.
Judging from Sasa’s words, they had long known that eating mutated creature meat resulted in bodily enhancements rooted in Magic Power, and they also knew that Demons’ flesh and blood could exist for some time after leaving the body.
Given that, those researchers surely experimented with the human consumption of Demons’ flesh and blood to see what reactions occurred.
As Yan Luo started to speak, Sasa raised her index finger to her lips.
She meant it wasn’t the right place to talk.
Yan Luo shut his mouth and nodded.
Yan Luo’s personal belongings weren’t many, and the robots quickly moved everything into the villa. After Yan Luo paid the remaining wages and confirmed the end of the order, the truck hauled all the robots away.
The villa occupied a substantial area, featuring a front yard and a back yard, with the main body spread over two floors.
But Yan Luo didn’t need so many rooms; even in his own home, he would probably only traverse a four-point line of bedroom, gym, living room, and kitchen.
Upon arrival at the new home, Keke, utilizing the villa control system downloaded in advance, activated cleaning robots stationed throughout the villa and set them to work.
Under the bright sun of Crimson No.2 today, the autumn blaze cast its heat onto the land. However, the brilliant sunlight passing through the living room’s floor-to-ceiling windows was mostly intercepted, leaving behind a warm glow akin to a gentle blanket draping over the two sitting on the living room sofa.
Yan Luo remained unfazed, while Sasa stretched on the long sofa like a cat, her face displaying a satisfied smile.
Sasa lazily occupied the long sofa, leaving Yan Luo to sit on the single sofa beside the coffee table.
"Just as you guessed," Sasa suddenly spoke, "experiments were conducted in the past where humans consumed Demon flesh, but the results were not good. Even people with a physique like yours would mutate and become a mutated creature after eating Demon flesh."
Mutated creatures themselves are born from bodily mutations triggered by Magic Power. Humans, too, being animals, would naturally mutate into mutated creatures when their bodies are stimulated by Magic Power.
"Even people with extremely low Magic Power adaptability would become mutated creatures?" Yan Luo was quite shocked.
He always thought his ability to strengthen himself by consuming Demon flesh was due to his extremely low Magic Power adaptability.
Even across the whole of Blue Star, there are few people with extremely low Magic Power adaptability, and these people, being unable to possess Engravings, would not typically enter the Abyss, and even if they did, they wouldn’t eat raw or bloody Demon flesh.
Therefore, it was reasonable that nobody discovered this possibility for people with extremely low Magic Power adaptability to become stronger by eating Demon flesh.
Initially, Yan Luo thought that revealing his situation would only make people distance themselves from him, forming distinctly different opinions. If covering it up failed, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
Then Sasa told him he was special, and people with the same physique as him would also become mutated creatures.
Suddenly, Yan Luo felt that his situation was very dangerous.
He was a genuine outlier!
"Yes, you’re the only successful example," Sasa nodded and smiled, "That’s why I’m so interested in you and want to see how far you can be enhanced. It’s far more fascinating than researching other projects! To any scholar studying Abyss ecology, you are an invaluable treasure beyond measure!"
Sasa’s upper face was covered by an eye mask, but Yan Luo felt she was beaming with enthusiasm and excitement, her eyes seemingly shining through the mask.
At that moment, he began to fear.
Yan Luo thought, if he accidentally fell asleep in front of Sasa, she might end up cutting off a few pieces of him.
"So, your answer is?" Sasa turned over and sat up, pushing up the eye mask, revealing a pair of eager brown eyes.
Despite her small stature and youthful appearance, it’s no wonder she used an eye mask to cover her face.
"You’d better get past your professor first," Yan Luo said coldly.
"If I get my professor’s approval, you’ll take me to the Abyss?" Sasa looked at Yan Luo with anticipation.
Yan Luo was silent for a few seconds before he ultimately chose to nod.
"If you can manage that."
That very night, Yan Luo received the news that Sasa had obtained her professor’s approval.
