Chapter 350: But... What is the Price?

"I do. Mainly, it's about magic power. Although I also considered the Witch Potion at first, this old man ultimately couldn't make up his mind."

Samael nodded, then stated his desired direction of development.

"..."

Lan Qingyou felt that some things didn't need to be spoken out loud. If others didn't want to become Witches, she didn't want to waste Witch Potions on these people either.

"So... you want a race that can increase magic power?"

"Correct. It would be best if it's a race that similarly possesses magic power or is helpful for research concerning magic power."

"I see. Then the first one to bear the brunt that I can think of should be Demonfolk."

Seeing that Professor Samael was also a research maniac, Lan Qingyou thought for a moment and then recommended an evolutionary path that wouldn't cause deformation and also satisfied the conditions.

"Demonfolk!"

So even if he wanted to understand them, he had no way to start.

"Correct, Demonfolk. Just like your desired conditions, not only do they have bonuses in spirit and Mana Value, they also have several academic revisions."

"This is not bad. Then may I ask how to obtain this race's Evolution Item?"

Hearing that it completely matched, Professor Samael immediately became excited.

Those eyes behind the lenses could no longer be described as glowing.

There were stars in his eyes...

"Teleport to the main city of the Demonfolk, then settle down there. As long as you make some contributions and obtain contribution points, you'll be able to exchange for it."

Lan Qingyou was still clear about the rules set on the Magician's side.

Not just the Demonfolk.

Apart from a few races like the Witch Race and Vampires, the Evolution Items of many large races could basically be obtained this way. At the same time, it was also the most conservative but most stable method of obtaining.

The reason why a few races like the Witch Race didn't use contribution points as the exchange method was mainly because of human nature.

That's right.

Under most circumstances, those Witches responsible for distributing Witch Potions would look for people who 'can lack emotional intelligence, but cannot lack IQ', while Clan Leaders preferred to let nature take its course willfully.

On this point, Lan Qingyou, Vivian, and the others were no different.

"Is that so? Although it seems very stable, the time needed is too long."

After listening to Lan Qingyou's suggestion, Samael frowned.

Of course he knew this method, but this was not what he wanted.

Meanwhile, on Lan Qingyou's side, after hearing Samael say this, she was also stunned.

Hmm?

Too long?

"Professor, could it be that you encountered a bottleneck while doing some experiment, so you want to rely on evolution to break through a wave?"

Also being a researcher, Lan Qingyou very rapidly caught the meaning inside Samael's words.

"...Yes."

After being guessed by Lan Qingyou, Samael considered it slightly and directly admitted it.

After all, concealing it in front of his own student would be to no avail.

Moreover, the experiment had indeed reached a crucial stage. If he couldn't break through, couldn't improve, then the experiment would undoubtedly fail.

"What experiment it is, I won't ask. After all, Witches are only interested in their own topics."

Lan Qingyou shrugged her shoulders.

"However, since Professor Samael is in such a hurry, then I can ask the Clan Leader of the Demonfolk for you and see if I can get one from him. But... what is the price?"

Witches won't take advantage of people, but they will absolutely never do loss-making business either.

Asking for an Evolution Item from the Magician was a simple matter, but she also needed to pay a price herself.

If the price given on Samael's side couldn't be directly proportional to the price she paid, then naturally it would be impossible for her to do this easily achievable task.

"What do you need."

Sensible!

Otherwise, why say they are a professor, directly pointing to the core issue at once.

"Basic chemistry textbooks and intermediate applications suitable for this world, as well as you taking the post of chemistry professor at the Witch Academy."

Lan Qingyou smiled and stated her conditions.

Actually, she had already thought of this condition back when she wanted to establish the Witch Academy.

It was just that later on, one matter after another caused this issue to fade to the point where Lan Qingyou almost forgot about it.

Now it's good, the other party delivered himself to her door, so what else did she need to be polite about.

"Of course, besides this, if you know any Blue Star professors willing to come take a post, and can compile basic textbooks suitable for this world, they can also arbitrarily choose a race's Evolution Item. When the time comes, I will personally go and ask for it for them."

There is always a shortage of talent.

Now that there was such a good opportunity, Lan Qingyou naturally wouldn't let it slip.

After all, cultivating Witches was equivalent to cultivating herself.

Especially those 88 members of the Witch Coven.

To Lan Qingyou, and even to the entire Witch Race, they were equivalent to the Imperial Guards by the Emperor's side.

They were existences whose authority was higher than other Witches, and were the existences that could truly guard Lan Qingyou.

Therefore, she hoped the Witch Coven could become even stronger.

Although it was impossible for these guys to come to the Witch Academy and 'remelt and forge anew'.

But with textbooks, she believed these study gods could also learn a lot of knowledge useful to themselves and useful for research through self-study.

"Can do, but when I'm conducting experiments, I'm very likely to be absent from teaching, or even have students participate in it."

As a professor who had been a teacher his whole life, Samael wasn't resistant to this proposal from Lan Qingyou.

But as a researcher, it was also impossible for him to invest the majority of his time into teaching.

So he simply thought of a relatively compromised method.

That was to let students participate in his own research.

This way, he could teach while researching, it was simply an idea that killed two birds with one stone.

"Can do, but compiling the textbooks and intermediate applications needs to be put at the very forefront, ideally finished within a month."

Lan Qingyou nodded, then haggled.

"No problem, it won't even take a month. Just give me some time to organize the theories I've put into practice before, about ten days or so."

Just like Lan Qingyou.

Samael, who had never stopped researching, also had a large amount of manuscripts and research notes in his hands.

It merely required a little sorting, then arranging an order according to the level of difficulty, and rewriting it to be completed.

This was also where Lan Qingyou had room to haggle again.

With Samael's promise, Lan Qingyou immediately had Diana's side deliver the employment contract.

This was written by a certain Witch who could similarly write contracts.

It only required filling in the position, compensation, and a name bearing personal charisma.

After notifying Diana, Lan Qingyou found the Magician in the group chat and obtained the Demonfolk's Evolution Item from the other party.

And the price she paid was one drop of blood and a little material fee.

This could be considered a friendship price, and also the cost price.

After all, everyone was acquaintances.

Of course, Lan Qingyou's initial generosity earning the goodwill of all the early members was also one aspect.
