The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　After cleaning up the experimental residue, Dak took the "Cosmic Brain Monster" to the cafeteria.

　Besides having it memorize the route, the main purpose is to make it familiar to the students of St. Mary's College.

　After all, the "Cosmic Brain Monster" looks too ugly.

　If the students don't get to know it, Dark is worried that if it walks alone on the street, it will be mistaken for a monster and killed...

　Of course, he had some other considerations as well.

　Putting everything else aside, the appearance of the "Cosmic Brain Monster" is truly eye-catching.

　With it on, Dak was like having a spotlight on his forehead, becoming the undisputed center of attention.

　On the short stretch of road between the Noble Academy tower and the dining hall, more than ten people asked him what kind of magical spirit it was.

　Of course, this is also because his popularity is growing, and students from both high and low grades can exchange a few words with him.

　When faced with students' questions, Dak would always smile and tell them that it was "the demon of the mind."

　Nearly two years after "Little Demon" had been flying around everywhere, the students of St. Marian Academy's views on demons had fundamentally changed.

　Even though Dark was carrying a demon with such a unique appearance, it didn't cause much of a stir.

　Those who were most resistant to him were probably just a few exchange students. Just as Dak sat down at a table in the cafeteria, Evan Pearson's "Guardian Knight" followed suit.

　"Why aren't you with Pearson today, Tommy? Senior Smith?" Darke asked gently.

　Tommy Smith glanced at the "Cosmic Brain Beast" sitting upright beside Dark and said, "His Highness the 'Holy Son' has gone on an adventure in the dungeon with his classmates."

　"Then shouldn't they accompany me to the dungeon? Isn't it safe, Tommy?" Smith sighed and said, "There's this kid over there named Doron, yelling about some kind of adventure and needing bodyguards, so His Highness the 'Holy Son' kicked me out. But they're only second-year students, and they won't be able to go to the deeper levels. Their safety is still guaranteed."

　“Indeed, unless you’re lucky enough to encounter a hidden space,” Dark said with a smile.

　Tommy Smith finally voiced his doubts: "Is your magical spirit a demon?"

　Darke readily agreed.

　Tommy Smith's expression turned slightly serious. "What demon?" Darke said, "Probably... a demon of the mind." Tommy Smith immediately frowned. "The torment of the mind?"

　Dark smiled slightly and said, "Senior Smith, how about trying a deal with the devil?"

　Tommy Smith's brow furrowed even deeper.

　Dark explains: "For a small price, it can remove pride, lust, anger, or greed from your heart and bring you closer to holiness."

　Tommy Smith pondered for a moment and said, "Your words are as tempting as the devil."

　Dark said earnestly, “This is a rare opportunity. We often say that to judge a person, you must first understand them. The doctrines of the Holy Church regard the devil's deals as vipers. But who has truly experienced what the devil's deals are like? Can we rely solely on the experiences of our ancestors, which may or may not even exist?”

　"Eloquent tongue." Tommy Smith couldn't help but scoff.

　But after he finished cursing, he suddenly asked, "How do we trade?" Darke couldn't help but laugh.

　While his words were somewhat seductive, they weren't entirely false. At least with him, making a deal with the devil was absolutely safe. For a believer like Tommy Smith, this was an opportunity not to be missed.

　Just as Dark was about to make a deal with the "Cosmic Brain Beast," the students who had been quietly listening couldn't help but gather around. They already knew that the "Cosmic Brain Beast" was a demon of the mind, and now that they heard the keyword "demon deal," they were naturally filled with curiosity.

　Dak glanced around and spotted a few familiar female students in the crowd, and couldn't help but smile at them.

　In this era where religious power still flourishes, demonic transactions are being openly conducted in the cafeteria of this academy.

　Another party involved in the transaction was a student of the Holy Academy! It has to be said, this was truly a remarkable sight.

　But surprisingly, even Tommy Smith and others didn't seem to find it strange.

　The scene before him was perhaps a microcosm of the present era. Dark moved his plate aside slightly, handing the main stage over to (Cosmic Brain Beast).

　The "Cosmic Brain Beast" spoke directly: "State the evil thoughts you wish to take, then pay the price, and I will serve you."

　Tommy Smith then looked at me with an "I see" expression and began to think about it seriously.

　Dak watched with a smile.

　The onlookers were also whispering among themselves.

　Only the "Little Devimon," who had secretly followed along, looked utterly dumbfounded. Clearly, the "Cosmic Brainmon's" transaction should have been paid for by itself, purchasing the trader's "heart."

　How did it turn into the trader paying the price to let the "Cosmic Brain Monster" buy their "heart"?

　Pay for delivery

　"Little Devimon" suddenly realizes that his cunning and treacherous self is actually too kind!

　This "Cosmic Brain Monster" is the real demon!

　What? You're saying this idea was proposed by Darko Dimon? That's brilliant!

　Cleverness belongs to the master, cunning belongs to the devil. "Little Devimon" can distinguish between the two very clearly.

　But no one at the scene seemed to think anything was wrong, as if the transaction was perfectly fair.

　About two minutes later, Tommy Smith seemed to have finally finished thinking. He lowered his hand, looked up, stared intently at the "Cosmic Brain Beast," and said, "Please take away my greed!"

　He wouldn't admit his "arrogance," he couldn't possibly admit his "lust" in public, and he was certain that he wouldn't let anger cloud his judgment. So, the only option he could ultimately choose was "greed."

　Greed is a necessary component of life, and no one can deny their own greed. Tommy Smith does not feel that having greed is shameful.

　He wanted to see if he could gain absolute rationality without greed. The "Cosmic Brain Beast" nodded slightly and said, "I can take away your greed, but the price you need to pay depends on the size of your greed."

　Tommy Smith asked, "I can't offer the price first, and then you take away an equivalent amount of greed."

　The "Cosmic Brain Beast" shook its head and said, "No."

　Tommy Smith then said, "Then, could you first assess the extent of my greed before setting a price?"

　"Cosmic Brain Beast" said, "Okay, but I need your cooperation." Tommy Smith confidently replied, "No problem."

　The "Cosmic Brain Beast" then raised its hand, extended its longest middle finger, and pressed it against Tommy Smith's forehead.

　Tommy Smith, as expected, did not dodge.

　So the "Cosmic Brain Beast" closed its eyes and carefully sensed. After a moment, it said, "1000 credits, or the equivalent."

　"1000 credits? Looks like my greed isn't that strong." Tommy Smith immediately took out his college card and placed it on the table.

　The "Cosmic Brain Beast" said calmly, "Sincere and kind."

　The 1000 credits were the credits that Dark spent when he bought the "Magic Dropper" from One-Eyed Morgan.

　This number still holds some special significance for it.

　Of course, it was just a casual quote, after all, it wanted to follow the path of low profit and high volume, and it had no intention of earning academic credits at all.

　As for why academic credits were chosen instead of other invaluable items...

　Actually, it's because academic credits are the easiest to pay.

　That would increase the harvesting speed!

　The "Cosmic Brain Monster" conjured a contract out of thin air and began writing it on the spot.

　The characters it uses for writing are completely illegible. However, when those who transact with it sign their names, they can naturally understand the meaning.

　Tommy Smith looked at it carefully and confirmed that it was a script he couldn't recognize, but he still signed his name.

　Then Dak took out his college card and smilingly accepted Tommy Smith's 1000 credits.

　Then, the "Cosmic Brain Beast" took away the contract, and began chanting incantations with a mysterious air, making preparations.

　Of course, this was just a charade. But the students clearly enjoyed it. Tommy Smith became even more serious.

　Under these circumstances, the "Cosmic Brain Beast" suddenly reached out and pressed its middle finger on Tommy Smith's forehead once again, then slowly, little by little, pulled it outwards.

　A tiny, pale blue orb of light was slowly drawn out from between his brows. The "Cosmic Brain Beast" looked solemn.

　Tommy Smith himself frowned at the peculiar feeling of having his "greed" removed.

　But the contract has been signed, the deal with the demon has been made, and there is no possibility of interruption.

　Suddenly, the "Cosmic Brain Beast" exerted its power, pulling out the entire ball of light and suspending it in its palm.

　"call!"

　Tommy Smith gasped, staring intently at the ball of light in the palm of the "Cosmic Brain Beast," and exclaimed in astonishment, "Is this my greed?"

　The "Cosmic Brain Beast" said, "I have taken away your greed for seven days. It will grow back after seven days."

　“Understood.” Tommy Smith wasn’t surprised. If it was possible to completely strip a person of their greed, wouldn’t this demon-type magical spirit be far too powerful?

　He gradually closed his eyes, feeling the changes within himself.

　The onlookers eagerly awaited his completion of the after-sales review. Several minutes later, Tommy Smith finally opened his eyes and calmly said, "It seems my greed has indeed been drained."

　"Really?" someone suddenly asked.

　"Is this the devil's deal?" someone exclaimed. Others were eager to try it out.

　Of course, some people have raised questions: "How could a deal with the devil be so simple? There must be some side effects!"

　But someone immediately retorted, "That's Dark Dimon's magical spirit! He wouldn't do such a thing!"

　The celebrity effect that Daq had built up over a long period of time came into play at this moment.

　When someone raised a question, the "Cosmic Brain Beast" said, "Humans have seven emotions and six desires, which can be categorized as good or evil. Some people may consider a certain thought evil, while others may consider it good. Regardless of the type of mind, each has its use for humanity. Without greed, there is no progress; without fear, there is no reverence. Therefore, there will definitely be side effects. But those are not side effects caused by me. Rather, they are the inevitable side effects that will occur after losing a portion of one's emotions. You need to weigh the pros and cons yourselves. Of course, what I took away was only a short period of emotion. So the side effects will not last long."

　"Can you take away my laziness?" Someone suddenly interrupted as soon as "Cosmic Brain Beast" finished speaking.

　The attention of onlookers was immediately drawn to it.

　For students, what could be more in need of ridding themselves than laziness? The "Cosmic Brain Beast" said quite sincerely, "You can try." "Can't you be sure if you try?" the person questioned.

　The "Cosmic Brain Beast" shook its head and said, "No." Immediately, someone said, "It seems that you, this demon, are nothing special." The "Cosmic Brain Beast" said, "Just born, not yet studied." A boy spoke up, "In other words, you were just created." The "Cosmic Brain Beast" said, "That's one way to understand it."

　The boy patted Tommy Smith on the shoulder and said, "Hey bro, can you move over? Your deal's over, don't hogging the seat."

　Tommy Smith frowned slightly, but still stood up to make way. The boy sat down and introduced himself, "I'm Duke Kelvin, a sixth-year student from the Noble Academy. If I cooperate with you, could I save you the price I need to pay?"

　"Cosmic Brain Beast" said, "Okay."

　“That’s good,” Duke Kelvin said boldly. “Then you can try.”

　The "Cosmic Brain Beast" nodded slightly, then pulled out another blank contract sheet and quickly wrote a contract.

　This contract, of course, stipulated that the buyer's cooperation with the experiment was the price. Duke Kelvin reviewed it and signed his name, thus completing the contract. The "Cosmic Brain Beast" then placed its hand on his brow, closed its eyes, and began to comprehend.

　Even Darke became interested at this point.

　"Lazy Heart" is not on the "Cosmic Brain Monster" inventory list. But if it's out of stock, you can order it; if you can't order it, you can develop it yourself.

　Since the "Cosmic Brain Beast" is already able to extract the "Heart of Pride," "Heart of Bliss," "Heart of Greed," "Heart of Wrath," and "Heart of Gluttony," it is not difficult to identify and extract the "Heart of Sloth" based on this.

　This is just as simple as someone who has already learned to move forward continuing to learn to move backward.

　A few minutes later, the "Cosmic Brain Beast" suddenly opened its eyes, its fingertips began to glow, and then it slowly pulled a ball of blue-green light out from between Duke Kelvin's eyebrows.

　On the "Cosmic Brain Monster" product list, there is now a new item called "Heart of Laziness"!

　"How are you feeling?" "Cosmic Brain Beast," trailing a ball of blue-green light, asked with concern, much like a customer service representative.

　Duke Kelvin suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "It feels great! I just want to get started right now! You know, I haven't even started my graduation project yet! No, I can't put it off any longer! I'm going back now! Thanks! Thank you so much! I'll come back to you when I get lazy again!!"

　Before he could finish speaking, Duke Kelvin had already hurriedly run away! The people around immediately started talking amongst themselves.

　The noise over there could no longer be stopped!

Chapter 916 Darkdy's Tomb, Deep and Leisurely (Part 1)

　It's April 11th, and there's only a month and a half left until the final exams.

　The students at St. Mary's College were all feeling a sense of urgency. But the truly anxious ones were, as expected, the sixth-year students who hadn't even started working on their graduation projects by the very last minute.

　Of course, they are not necessarily as prone to procrastination as Duke Kelvin.

　Perhaps it's because they just returned from off-campus study, which is why they feel so rushed. But whatever the reason, the point remains the same: "there's not enough time."

　Even the sixth-year students at St. Marian Academy are still human, and humans are inherently lazy.

　As is customary in previous years, there has always been a considerable number of students who procrastinate on their graduation theses or other assignments until just before the deadline.

　But right now, there is an opportunity that is easily available and enough to change the status quo!

　With just a little bit of credit, you can fundamentally eliminate your laziness and graduate directly from the ranks of those who are on the verge of death!

　Yes, as long as you purchase the "Cosmic Brain Monster" service and make a simple, side-effect-free transaction with this demon, you can become the person you've always dreamed of being!

　So, how can one resist temptation?
