Chapter: Chapter 364
Hiding at home and sleeping soundly every day, occasionally going out to complete a few missions, and then taking some time to craft some effective alchemy potions to keep my touch, in this decadent life, a month passed by unconsciously.
No major events occurred during this month. The item targeting gods that Bai Ling mentioned had no further developments, and no one knew the progress of its setup. Yin, on the other hand, had managed to construct a rather simplistic alchemy workshop. Leticia had only taken a glance at it when it was half-finished, and could only describe it as barely satisfactory.
It wasn’t as good as the Demon King’s Palace.
(It would be strange if it was as good as the Demon King’s Palace!)
“Phew, the weather is getting colder.” Letting out a puff of white breath, Leticia pulled her white fluffy hat further down over her head. “Are all the materials prepared?”
Standing beside her was a silver-haired girl looking at her phone. Hearing Leticia’s question, the girl nodded. “Mm, all prepared. It just took a bit longer.”
Standing beside Leticia was, naturally, our goddess Yin. During this past month, she had been extremely busy, working tirelessly to find the materials she hadn’t yet collected.
Finally, yesterday, the last material was also collected. So, early this morning, she called Leticia’s phone to inform her that she was ready and to ask Leticia to hurry over to “make a little person.”
It couldn’t be blamed that Yin was in such a hurry. Her current body’s stock was depleted, and the one she was using was the last spare body. This body had a shelf life of less than two weeks. If this body was also used up, she wouldn’t be able to “fool around” outside anymore.
She would be locked back into that space where she was the only one, and she absolutely did not want to accept this outcome.
Fortunately, after receiving the call, Leticia immediately stated that she had time. Yin then rushed over and waited at the entrance of Leticia’s residential complex.
After waiting for a short while, Leticia, wearing a fluffy sweater, slowly walked out.
Using spatial magic, she transported Leticia to the location of the alchemy workshop. The two walked side by side towards the simple workshop hidden underground. Their conversation also happened during this time.
Passing through the completely undefended workshop door, Leticia saw a relatively tidy alchemy workshop. It was evident that the builder had put some thought into this place. To build such a workshop in such a short time was quite good.
The little cat-girl Yin had bought was sitting on a small wooden chair, eating instant noodles in small bites. Judging by the smell, it was braised beef flavor.
“Lady Yin, Lady Qian.” Hearing footsteps from outside the door, the little cat-girl’s cat ears twitched, and she quickly forced a smile. “Sorry, I’m eating here…”
“You’re feeding this girl that? The kid is still growing, you’re being pretty uncouth doing this,” Leticia nudged Yin’s waist with her elbow and said sarcastically.
“I’ve been eating instant noodles these days too, they’re quite tasty.” Yin stated that even a goddess like herself was eating instant noodles. This little cat-girl was theoretically a slave, so it was good enough that she even got a complete bowl of instant noodles.
Over the past month, the little cat-girl had gradually recovered from her previous withdrawn state. Perhaps Yin’s laissez-faire policy was indeed effective, or perhaps the kitten had come to terms with herself. In any case, this little kitten was much more cheerful now than when Leticia first saw her a month ago.
“Cats are still cute.” Leticia walked up to the little cat-girl and reached out to stroke her pair of fluffy cat ears.
Her movements were gentle, causing the little cat-girl to reveal an expression of enjoyment.
Indeed, did cat-girls also possess some characteristics of cats.
“We still have serious business to attend to. After we’re done, you can pet her however you like,” Yin quickly reminded Leticia, who was about to fall into the “cat rabbit hole.”
“Am I that kind of person!” Moving her hand away from the little cat-girl’s ears, Leticia asked back with a righteous expression, “At least let me pet her for a day, okay?”
Sorry, Leticia was indeed that kind of person.
Yin was somewhat accustomed to Leticia’s occasional extreme shamelessness. It was just shamelessness, after all. Everyone was shameless, so they were pretty much the same.
When it truly came time to be shameless, Yin would definitely abandon her own dignity.
After saying goodbye to the little cat-girl, who was acting as the gatekeeper, the two entered the real alchemy workshop. Here were various items and materials Yin had collected from various channels. Everything was sorted and categorized beforehand, which was a pleasant sight.
Leticia’s gaze swept over piles and piles of ordinary materials, finally settling on a black rectangular box. The box had a metallic sheen, clearly designed for storing extremely important items.
Leticia walked up to the box and gently opened the lid. Instantly, a fragrance of life gushed out from the box. Inside the box, six blood-red crystalline objects, each the size of a fist, were neatly arranged. Without a doubt, these were the most crucial materials: high-quality life force crystals.
Since it was only made with the little cat-girl’s blood, it was different from the source of normal flesh and blood crystals. Leticia naturally used a different name, and this name sounded much more upright, didn’t it?
These life force crystals were all personally made by Leticia. Previously, Yin would bring Leticia a large test tube of blood every few days for her to process, and the final result was these six high-quality blood-red crystals.
Carefully taking out the six crystals from the box, Leticia let out a gentle exhale, and the remaining ease in her eyes disappeared, replaced by seriousness. Demon King Leticia was back online!
“If you want to observe, that’s fine, but don’t make any noise. My creation process might be a bit beyond your understanding, but you cannot speak until I allow you to, understand?” Without giving the goddess any face, Leticia, who had entered a serious state, spoke without looking back.
“I understand.” Yin naturally wanted to stay and observe. She also wanted to see how magical Leticia’s alchemy was. There wasn’t such technology in the age of gods.
Yin moved a chair from the side, sat on it, and stared intently at Leticia, who had already begun her work.
Materials she could name and couldn’t name had already been processed, but Leticia was still not satisfied. Under the power of magic, these materials were processed a second time, only then did Leticia nod.
Leticia simultaneously displayed all sorts of wondrous alchemy techniques, as if she had several thought streams controlling multiple aspects at once.
She even had the余裕 to explain the principle of this technique to Yin. “I’m currently constructing the skeleton of the body. This is the most important step. If there are no special requirements, I’ll make it according to your current body data. Nod if you agree, shake your head if you disagree.”
Yin decisively shook her head.
Her current body had some differences in appearance compared to her original body, including height. Her original body was slightly taller than her current one, so she hoped Leticia could make up for this height difference this time.
Understanding Yin’s request, Leticia made an OK gesture. It was just adding a bit of height, a trivial matter. If Yin wanted her height adjusted to 2.3 meters, it wouldn’t be a problem.
It took about an hour. A skeleton as clear and transparent as if made of crystal appeared on the ice crystal bed that Leticia had specifically created. Looking at the extremely intricate skeletal frame, Leticia satisfiedly twisted her neck.
The first step was completed. Next was to add internal organs and the like to this skeletal frame to maintain its daily activities.
This step required the life force crystals obtained from the little cat-girl. Leticia placed the six blood-red crystals in front of herself, ready for use at any time.
The material used to make the internal organs was a disgusting, sticky pink substance. This substance, stimulated by life force, could transform into various organs, completely disregarding physical laws.
But, it had to be said, this stuff was really useful.
The usage was also very simple: fill this pile of things into the skeleton, casually insert a few life force crystals, and then wait for it to evolve automatically.
“Do you want some major modifications? I have several ways to increase combat power without reducing the body’s usage time, such as giving you three hearts, replacing your brain with your spine, and making your blood vessels tougher…” Leticia rattled off a long list.
Yin’s eyes became spiral-shaped. She didn’t understand any of what Leticia was saying. However, she understood the first sentence: the part that could increase combat power without affecting the body’s usage time.
Isn’t this free combat power? I want it, I want it, not wanting it is being an idiot.
“Modify it, modify all of it for me!” Yin waved her hand, agreeing to all of Leticia’s modification requests.
My goodness, I haven’t even tried so many modification methods myself. Leticia’s eyes suddenly blazed with a fiery passion. She had initially thought Yin would only agree to the first few modifications, but this person actually agreed to all of them, and some of them Leticia herself hadn’t even tried.
She couldn’t possibly tell Yin right now that she was bluffing, could she? That would be too embarrassing. Leticia gritted her teeth and decided to go for it. She didn’t believe that she, a peerless genius, couldn’t handle this small body.
This step took a full four hours. By the time Leticia wiped the sweat from her brow, the skeleton on the ice crystal bed had completely changed its appearance. The skeleton could no longer be called a skeleton; at first glance, it looked more like a flayed person.
It was the kind of thing that wouldn’t feel out of place appearing in a horror game.
It took so long to complete this step that even Leticia felt a surge of fatigue. Fortunately, the last step was very simple and could be completed within the next hour.
The formal name for this step was facial sculpting.
Leticia’s “creation” technique was characterized by its strong choice. You could not only choose your height, choose your internal aspects, but also choose your external appearance!
You can’t buy it for a loss, you can’t buy it for a fake. Other than the processing fee for the materials being extremely expensive, there were no other drawbacks!
“Do you want the same appearance as you have now?”
“Can you make it like this?” Yin didn’t waste any words. She directly extended her finger and pointed at Leticia. A silver light flew from her fingertip, shooting straight towards Leticia’s head. “My body data, no danger.”
This sentence made Leticia, who had almost thought Yin was going to turn hostile, sigh in relief. She reached out and caught the silver light, wrapped it with colorful divine power, and slowly digested it.
This was a divine power application she had recently developed. When facing information of unknown quality, this method could minimize the risk factor.
The items Flora had given her a long time ago seemed to have been absorbed by her divine authority after she became a god, so Leticia could now freely use the mental barrier that previously required her to summon her umbrella.
These colorful lights now were an application of the mental barrier.
“You do this, and you’ll make me sad, sister.”
“Forewarned is forearmed, sister.” Leticia gave a harmless smile. The information Yin provided posed no threat, but she truly didn’t expect Miss Yin, who looked so slender and small, to be such a person at her core.
Those mountains were even larger than Bai Ling’s.
As for appearance, it was more refined than her current body, but this was normal. No god was ugly; every god was at least a 95-point ultimate beautiful girl (?).
The only thing that made Leticia speechless was Yin’s hair. What exactly was this hair color that seemed to reveal the mysteries of space just by looking at it?
“Let me say this first, I can’t replicate the hair. Shall I just make it this silvery-white color for you?” Leticia asked as she adjusted the pigments.
“Yes.”
“Then that’s fine. Wait a little longer, and your body will be ready.”
An hour later, looking at the silver-haired beautiful girl lying quietly on the ice crystal bed, Leticia fell silent. “This shouldn’t be right.”
Yin looked at the girl who was almost identical to her and also fell silent. “You’re into this kind of thing?”
What made them both fall silent was not that the body was missing something, but that it gained something that shouldn’t have been there: a pair of cute silver cat ears.
Leticia could pat her chest and guarantee that she had never intended to add cat ears when manufacturing this body. But when it came to the final step, she didn’t know why a pair of cat ears had appeared.
What made it even more bewildering was that despite having cat ears, this body didn’t have a cat tail, which was very strange.
After thinking about it, Leticia could only come up with a not-so-convincing conclusion: “Perhaps it’s because the life crystals from that little cat-girl were used?”
