Chapter 282: with translation of chapter title

River Summer

The fragmented Greed each grabbed what they had looted and fled in all directions.

Fire Field Reflector

Having seen, heard, smelled, tasted, at this moment Greed could never experience that feeling; a complete body is more important than anything, because only then does she resemble a person.

Regardless, after this Core Coin rampage, the data that should have been obtained has been perfected; if Jiang Xia still prepares to concoct similar things, they won't cause such destructive scenes again.

Desire Coin

Originally, manufacturing ordinary Core Coins shouldn't require such huge desire storage; that is, there's no need to guide Mezeer's rampage into becoming a monster.

Alchemy

Mimicry

Since one understands Alchemical Art and also knows those wonderful rules, they certainly should be put to use.

Human transmutation, creating different kinds of life, pursuing Evolution—these things are all related to Alchemical Art.

Meizi'er

Greed - original Greed (but original term is English? Actually the Chinese line uses "Greed" as is (English word). The original term is "Greed". So we need to output raw_term: "Greed", original_term: "Greed". However, the instruction says list every NAMED entity / coined term in these lines: characters, places, etc. For terms that are already English, we still list them with original_term being the same? Probably yes. We'll include.

However, the Greeds that might still be alive now probably wouldn't think that the so-called Core Coin is merely something that can be repeatedly concocted.

The times are different now; whatever Jiang Xia has mastered, whether energy reserves or the problem of desire containment, has already been solved.

He now possesses the power to contain desire without limit, even the ability to absorb cellular hard coins and completely transform them into part of himself; such depth of desire is not something everyone has.

Huo Ye Yingsi is able to use, via the Oze Driver, various types of Core Coins and remain calm because his inner desires have been emptied by a certain event.

Hongshang Guangsheng

Yi Da Ming

Therefore, even if he absorbs more desire, it can be turned into his nourishment for growth; the only difference is that Jiang Xia's heart lacks that sense of emptiness, and he also clearly knows what he must do.

However, this power is not suitable for humans; although humans can serve as the source of Desire Coins, they can only use it indirectly through some special means.

The effectiveness of its use is very low; if it weren't for encountering Huo Ye Yingsi, the cellular hard coins that Hong Shang Guangsheng has accumulated over half a lifetime would probably never be exhausted in a lifetime.

Aquatic Greed

During this period, Yi Da Ming also got to know Huo Ye Yingsi a bit; although Anku was very reluctant, he could only helplessly accept that there was a new opponent competing with them for ordinary coins, Kamen Rider Birth.

Anku actually wanted to ask Meizier what it felt like to be fully revived.

However, in order to ascertain the relationship of some things, Meizier outright refused Anku's question, and because Anku's tone was overly stiff, Meizier not only refused to answer but even mocked him a bit.

Both are Ouz; my partner has already let me be perfectly revived.

You still quibble over some cell coins.

He doesn't even have a few Core Coins, and can only scrape by relying on humans.

If it weren't for Jiang Xia timely pulling Meizier away and giving her a stern lesson, the Core Coin containing Anku's consciousness would now just be soaking in water.

The two-coin Fire Greed versus the nine-coin fully-powered Water Greed—anyone can tell with their toes that it's impossible to win.

Anku could only vent his frustration; originally he could rely on the senses he'd gained earlier to mock a mere object-like Greed, but now he's the one being mocked and thoroughly beaten.

Aside from their gender, the two of them are now pretty much the same; it's just that Meizier is doing better than Anku now.

At the same time, after Jiang Xia returned to the lab, he began a detailed examination of Meizier's current body, needing to obtain detailed data on every aspect.

Blue-white light illuminated the lab, and Meizier was undergoing Jiang Xia's visual inspection.

Jiang Xia now wore a white coat, just like a real doctor.

This wasn't for cleanliness; he simply thought it made him look more professional.

Although his hair remained thick, his self-taught medical skills were top-notch, and since Meizier wasn't human, it was fine.

After spending an entire afternoon, Jiang Xia held a report in one hand while shutting down some probing instruments with the other, simultaneously comparing the data.

Meizier put on the clothes she had just taken off, sitting obediently to the side like an ordinary patient waiting.

"Under ordinary instrument examination, the body after coin Mimicry has internal organs similar to those of a normal human, possessing comparable functions." Jiang Xia said while looking at the report.

He picked up a test tube filled with blood, gently shook it, and watched the scarlet liquid continuously flow inside the glass tube.

"Blood is also at normal human levels; it seems the result you gained from going berserk once was worthwhile."

Jiang Xia gently pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

The coin version of the Philosopher's Stone really can completely transmute Greed into a human, and it doesn't use a human soul but rather a special aura containing the essence of creation.

Especially in its role of turning non-life into life, it is paramount.

It also fully retains the power of the aquatic Greed, which is better than Anku's special condition.

After finishing the physical examination, Jiang Xia let Meizier go first.

Having a child isn't something that happens in a moment; even though she already has a flesh-and-blood body and her maternal love is overflowing, she still needs to wait, as he still has other things to be busy with.

"Zi—" the lab's pulley and floor emitted a faint friction sound; a claw with crimson wrists was gripping a cell coin and tossing it into the sky.

The cell coin made a metallic collision sound; the eagle-engraved cell coin spun rapidly, then slowly.

After an unknown number of collisions, it fortuitously landed on someone's brow.

It caused the ordinary person who was drinking to lose himself for a moment; then a streak of red light spread from his body, gathering into a giant egg bearing red patterns.

The eggshell cracked, and from his body emerged a mummy-like zombie wrapped in bandages—a yummy that had not yet fully grown, just born.

Scarlet feathers drifted down slowly; that yummy staggered toward the distant office building.

Moreover, even though it was merely approaching, its body already flickered with red light, as if the moment it neared the office building had already satisfied its desire.
