Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

We are both in this together, and if not because you prioritized my cultivation, I would not have been able to succeed.

So when do you want to go?'

'Give me a week, I need to raise my cultivation level so we are at least on the same level.'

'A week would be great, I also need to make sure there are no conflicts brewing with the Fang sect.'

'How about the goblins? They don't make any problems, right?'

'I still keep them on my island; well, with your education module, they do learn fast.

Some of them are already able to talk my language, I am thinking to first let the sect members interact with them.'

'What will you tell them? A beastman race?'

'Of course not. I will not tell them anything; I will let them speculate for themselves.

This sect, your guild, as we discussed, is just an embryo to revive the vampire race.

It's better to prepare them from now and see how they react to it.'

'I see that is a good method. As for me, the Suzaku Guild just reopened.

I still need to wait for the association signal so I can use the cultivation system and start recruiting people.'

'What a hassle, why not just do what you want? Will the association turn it into a problem?'

'If I do it now, yes, I already have a deal after all.

Even if not, I cannot just go behind the association's back without a comprehensive plan; it will just cause more trouble.

Having a central government has its perks, MingYue, but if we are not the ones with authority, there are many things we need to come to terms with, like following their rules.'

'I get what you mean; it's like when I am inside of a sect, but this time it's on a larger scale.

So it should be like those cities under control of the ShangXi Temple.'

'Yeah, by the way, how are the people you sent outside? Are any of them already settled in the city?

I already prepared a few containers of MSG and spice. I am sure they will quickly get popular.'

'Yes, I have tried it; it's really addicting, just like those instant noodles you sent me.'

'Don't use the instant food; just use the usual dishes in your world.

I am sure the spice alone is enough to make them get addicted.

Then, worse case if they ask where they got it from, point it out as we planned.'

'Yes, a mysterious golden core cultivator at first, then every time they order, hopefully, we can put someone stronger as the source. For now, I will put FengXue in charge of it.'

'That should work; The change of this should be low anyway since we can always say it's because of the chef. But who knows if someone blabber.

I will send a few containers tomorrow.

It's better if they can already start before we go. Who knows how long it will take.'

'You think we will take a long time?' MingYue asked with worry.

The current sect is still too weak, even with the contract; with so many operations underway now, if just one goes wrong, things could easily escalate.

Just like the rumor she spread about the Hua Family. Even now, they are still in hot water. It even implicates the Blue Lotus sect.

If she is gone for a long time and something happens to her sect, the thought of this causes her to worry.

Hearing MingYue's question, Alex replied, 'Worst comes to worst. We will just return without getting the progenitor blood. We can always find a way to return there.'

They then exchanged a few more small talks before ending the discussion. Alex let out a sigh, then closed his eyes.

His mind churned, thinking how to enhance his ability.

'Even now, at the core formation realm, I still haven't tried to enhance my brain. My cognitive matrix now is still not used effectively in a fight.' Alex thought.

He then addressed Vesa, 'Show me the simulation you have done so far for my brain enhancement.'

A 3D projection of his brain then appeared in Alex's sight despite his eyes still being closed.

It then pointed out a small area right in the middle of the brain, between the two hemispheres, the thalamus.

This part of the brain is responsible for processing information from the senses—sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell, acting like a relay station before forwarding all this information to the cerebral cortex for further processing.

[As the king knows, this part of yours has been mutated by mana. As for why specifically only this part or how this process happened is unknown. I speculate the mutation already started when you were still a fetus.]

'A fetus, huh, continue.'

[The king proposed using mana or Qi to also evolve the cerebral cortex so it can calculate all the information in slow motion. Based on my simulation, it only has a 10% success rate; even if this success, there is only a 0.0083% chance that the effect will be as what the king wanted.]

'What about the worst-case scenario?'

[Other than wasting material, there are none. Well, a lot of pain for each unsuccessful attempt. With the current life force stockpile, we should be able to try this 1,232,264 times.]

Alex's lips twitched, seeing the number, 'Fuck, forget it, no getting cold feet now, Alex.'

He then took out a pile of high-grade mana crystals and Qi crystals.

Logically speaking, the choice should be using only mana to evolve something as intricate as his brain, but he doubts this would be enough.

Even now, with so many people having abilities, there are none he knows that have the abilities he wanted. The ability to think one hundred times faster than a normal human.
