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

　In addition, Dak has a suggestion regarding homework correction: students can exchange homework and correct each other's work!

　Students at St. Marian place far greater emphasis on "honor" than the average person; simply put, they are more concerned with saving face.

　This approach encourages students to pay more attention to completing their assignments and helps them improve by identifying the mistakes made by others.

　This will deepen your understanding of the content.

　Of course, it can also reduce the burden on professors.

　Dak won't be asked to help grade homework as often anymore =.=.

　In short, the optimization of arithmetic lessons is proceeding in an orderly manner.

　Unfortunately, Professor Sylph and Professor Cazell's investigation into the "invisible man" was not going well.

　Even the various sensory traps at the entrance to the secret passage yielded no results.

　The "invisible man" seemed to have truly disappeared, never to be seen again.

　Despite their best efforts to keep it secret to avoid alerting the enemy, it seems they still managed to startle people.

　They had to start thinking of new strategies.

　On the evening of the third day of February.

　Dark conducted its third draw this month, finally increasing the reserves of [Greed] to 7.5 points.

　He began cultivating the Fruit of Greed!

　[I stayed up all night to finish today's update. I'm going to take a short nap before heading out. I won't be back until tomorrow afternoon.]

Chapter 293 The Golden God of Darkdemon (4k)

　Dark has been thinking about cultivating the Fruit of Greed for a long time.

　To this day, the fruits of his great sins are pride, bliss, and greed.

　Among his achievements, he used the Pride Berry to create Tailmon, and the Bliss Berry to create Miltank and Sylveon, which deepened his understanding of the Great Sins.

　The time has come; it is time to further our study of [greed]!

　The cultivation of the [Fruit of Greed] and the forging of the corresponding magical spirit are both crucial.

　Dak lined up the three cat grasses in a row, from left to right: cat grass, cow grass, and fox grass.

　These three cat grasses have all been used to cultivate Sin Fruits, and Dark is actually quite worried that this situation might have a residual effect on the cultivation of new fruits.

　However, he discovered while using the [Great Sin Cards] that different types of [Great Sin Cards] do not actually produce any cumulative effects other than those related to emotions.

　In a sense, they are independent of each other.

　Furthermore, there is a near-fundamental difference between low-tier and high-tier [Great Sin Cards].

　Stacking of lower-tier [Great Sin Cards] of the same type cannot cross class boundaries.

　Of course, these conclusions are drawn without any external influence.

　Perhaps there really is a way to fuse [Sin Cards] together, just like [Fusion] Cards do with Magical Spirits.

　But he currently has no clue in this regard.

　therefore.

　He roughly guessed that cultivating different types of Great Sin Fruits would have no effect on Cat Grass.

　Or rather, it has an impact, but the impact may not be significant.

　Most of it is limited to the development of personality.

　For example, while being greedy, add a little arrogance.

　Upon closer examination, could "arrogant greed" give rise to a personality similar to that of an ancient chivalrous thief—one who steals only from the wealthy and powerful?

　Don't tell me, it's quite interesting.

　Dak stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then finally picked up the cat grass on the far left.

　Dark always had a special fondness for the cat grass that he had spent the most time with.

　Let's leave the responsibility of having a second child to it!

　Since it's the [Fruit of Greed (Cat)], which core material should be chosen?

　Dark already had the answer in his mind, but he wanted to think about it more carefully.

　However, this did not prevent him from cultivating the [Fruit of Greed] first.

　After it was finalized.

　Dak beckoned to the big milk pot, telling it to take good care of the cow grass and fox grass, and then carried the cat grass to the balcony.

　He has poured all of his three days' worth of "greed" into the insect branches of the insect tree.

　Including last month's reserves, a total of 7.5 points of [Greed] were divided into five portions and stored in five insect branches.

　Catgrass nestled in his arms watched him reach out to open the protective fence of the insect tree, and immediately started meowing excitedly.

　It has been eyeing this insect-infested branch for a long time!

　It had been a very, very long time since it was last allowed to touch the insect-infested branches, so long that it had almost forgotten the smell!

　“Meow, meow, meow!”

　Cat Grass waved its paw pads impatiently.

　Dak smiled, withdrew his hand and pinched its face, then picked it up and carried it to one of the thick, stiff branches, so that it could stick out its little tongue and suck on the mushroom-shaped tip of the branch.

　"Suck it-"

　Cat Grass, lured by the scent of insects and branches mixed with the smell of sin, stretched its neck to lick it.

　After it had licked the tip of the insect-infested branch moist, Dak moved closer so that it could hug the branch and suckle with all its might!

　Seeing how eagerly the cat grass was being sucked up, Dark's expression couldn't help but melt.

　Only after the cat grass had licked clean the [greed] stored inside the branch did Dark pry its claws open and pull it off the branch.

　"Meow meow meow!"

　Despite her reluctance, Catnip was unable to resist her owner's coercion.

　Dac waited a few minutes, giving it time to absorb and transform the substance.

　Before long, a faint outline of the word "Greed" appeared above Cat Grass's head.

　In the center of the coat of arms, a small protrusion emerged, and a bud slowly sprouted!

　Dak vaguely remembers doing a diary-style assignment about "observing the growth of XX plant," if the plant at that time also...

　With this growth rate

　As the tender sprout gradually grew, Dark shook the cat grass's paw again before carrying it back to the insect tree.

　Make it continue sucking on the second branch.

　This second worm branch only stored two points of [greed].

　But after the cat grass absorbed these two points of "greed", the tender shoots on its head gradually grew stems, leaves and flower buds. The pale blue flower bud was about to bloom, emitting a mesmerizing scent.

　The third worm branch contained only a little bit of [greed].

　After this thorough licking, the "Flower of Greed" atop the cat grass's head finally bloomed, its petals displaying a vibrant color.

　The color gradually deepened, turning into a deep dark blue, while the stamen at the center was a bright purple.

　It's as if all the light is swallowed by the petals and then transmitted to the flower's pistil.

　It's six o'clock.

　Dark didn't rush to let the cat grass absorb the final [Greed]. Instead, he first picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the [Flower of Greed] from his hair.

　The entire process from bud to bloom was depicted in a painting.

　Finally, he even relied on his imagination to draw the final "result" in advance.

　Looking at the conceived [Fruit of Greed], Dark smiled slightly and let the cat grass pounce on the fourth insect branch. The last fifth insect branch was located at the top of the insect tree, perfectly avoiding the cat grass's hunting range.

　Of those, 0.5 drops of "Greed" will be reserved as a rare resource for the next experiment.

　Once the cat grass had absorbed all 1 point of [Greed] from the fourth insect branch, it immediately set its sights on the fifth insect branch above its head.

　But its owner ruthlessly took it away from the water it longed for most, and separated it from the water with that annoying fence, so that it could never touch it again.

　"Meow!"

　Cat Grass's mouth was blocked by Dark's finger.

　The cat grass that had bitten Dak's finger fell silent instantly.

　The Flower of Greed on its head bore fruit successfully.

　The ovary in the flower begins to swell, and the ovules develop rapidly.

　The deep blue flowers withered and died at a speed visible to the naked eye.

　A fruit the size of a ping-pong ball gradually grows.

　Dark observed the [Fruit of Greed], which was seven or eight tenths similar to his own concept, reached out and touched it slightly, carefully sensing its texture.

　They were enveloped in an increasingly intense aura of greed.

　After a while.

　The fruit of greed has fully ripened.

　It was a fruit resembling a fig, but its peel was a translucent deep blue, with purple showing through from within.

　The veins form a natural heraldic pattern, exuding a touch of mystery.

　After plucking the [Fruit of Greed], only a thin stem remains on top of the cat grass.

　This thin stem, which looks like a cowlick, is actually a very useful material.

　The creation of the [Ball-Ball Sea Lion] involved the use of two [Ecstasy Stems].

　It was after that that Dark cut off the other stem of the cat grass, the "Steel of Pride," and carefully preserved it ever since.

　This [Stem of Greed] before us may come in handy someday.

　Dark's eyes flickered slightly, but he ultimately abandoned the idea of ​​immediately cutting off the [Stem of Greed] and simply held the fruit...

　They went back inside.

　Then he called the pot over, placed the Fruit of Greed into the pot's hole, and entrusted it to him, saying, "The rest is up to you."

　The method of brewing the "Fruit of Sin" in a pot before use has been verified before.

　Although it's impossible to be sure if the effect of brewing is greater, I always feel like I'll be missing something if I don't press it.

　"Sizzle, sizzle!"

　The teapot, however, held its head high with great confidence, as if to say: "Anything made by the teapot is a masterpiece!"

　"The time it takes for the fermented fruit to dissolve in the pot is about three minutes. Let's prepare for the experiment first."

　After entrusting the kitten, who had just given birth to its second litter, to the care of the large milk tank, Dak went to the lab table to begin preparations.

　"This time the mother is a cat, and the core material is most compatible with [Greed]. As expected, it's the [Ancient Gold Coin] that Emma gave me."

　"The goal of the refining is tentatively set as the General type, but I don't know if it will turn out as I wish."

　Dak tapped the table and pondered for a while before taking out the ancient gold coin and soaking it in the prepared potion.

　Then, he began to prepare for the experiment according to the alchemy method of the [Bird and Beast Species - General System].

　Half an hour later, everything was ready.

　The dissolution and fermentation of the Fruit of Greed was also successfully completed.

　Dark poured the juice of the [Fruit of Greed] into a beaker and set it aside, then began the actual refining process.

　Once he gets involved in magic transmutation experiments, his attention becomes extremely focused.

　Almost all distracting thoughts unrelated to the experiment will be temporarily discarded.

　In this state, when conducting the [Bird/Beast Species - Common Type] transmutation experiment, which he had repeated many times, he almost...
