Chapter 363: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Art Style? Chapter 163

【I hope you can still say that later】

Her expression instantly became a kaleidoscope, flashing through confusion, shock, fear, and resignation in mere seconds.

After a long while, she barely managed to control her emotions.

Looking at the young man nearby who showed not the slightest concern for her, Christine couldn't help swallowing hard.

'Can he really do something like this?'

Without doubt, that colossal dragon before her was a terrifying existence equal to the Lord.

As their enemy, even death would not be the end.

It was only then that she understood why he had chosen to act directly.

Without further thought, Christine quickly made her decision.

She first forced a fawning smile, then knelt on the ground and crawled forward on her knees to Li Ang's feet, bowing her head to kiss his foot with utmost humility: "Master."

In her long life, Christine had long grown accustomed to the presence of superiors, so to her, this was merely swapping one master for another.

Resistance would only bring misfortune; it was better to kneel early.

"Hmph."

Li Ang closed his data interface and looked at the vampire before him, who displayed profound humility, emitting a voice devoid of discernible emotion.

As the creator of 【Christine】, he held absolute dominion over her.

Though her outward appearance seemed unchanged from before, her interior was saturated with Li Ang's finest technological refinements.

【Conceptual Armament · Universal Servant Doll】, 【Intermediate Ability Retention】, 【Life Creation】.

Through these technologies, Li Ang succeeded in transforming Christine's corpse into a living doll indistinguishable from her former self.

Of course, if that were all, she would be no different from the living dolls crafted by Xie—merely stronger in power.

What truly caused Li Ang's technique to undergo transformation was 【The Third Law · Soul Materialization】.

He used this magic to stabilize Christine's soul state and convert it into a stable energy source.

Combined with the living doll crafted from her corpse, the two fused into the perfect creation before him.

【Simulated Servant · Christine】.

The only thing Li Ang found regrettable was that 【Intermediate Ability Retention】 was not strong enough to fully preserve the deceased's original power.

After the recent test, Christine's current strength was roughly six or seven tenths of her former level.

Fortunately, the enhancement from the Third Law slightly compensated for this flaw.

At this moment, Christine spoke with deep humility: "I will handle the Qinglie series and 【Simulated Life】 for you, Master—please do not worry."

"Is there anything else you need me to do, Master?"

The vampire had swiftly slipped into her role, already beginning to think from Li Ang's perspective.

Hearing this, Li Ang gave a slight nod: "The Plant Union needs data on the Blood of Creation."

"This…" Christine's face showed slight distress. "I can obtain the formula for ordinary Blood of Creation, but the newly developed variant—I, at my rank, have no access to it."

As she finished, she pressed her forehead hard against the ground: "I apologize, Master."

"Do your best to acquire it."

Though Li Ang felt some disappointment, he was not truly surprised.

After all, Christine was merely a Level Four, and not even from R&D—accessing the core secrets of Blood Secret Co. was clearly unrealistic.

He added another instruction: "Report any movements by Blood Secret Co. promptly. If possible, sabotage their operations in the Bael Star Cluster."

Do not let a guest come without a return gift.

Blood Secret Co. had come to Li Ang's door to cause trouble—he would not simply swallow this insult.

Beyond this, Li Ang gave no special orders for Christine to conceal herself, for he knew that even without his words, the vampire would do so anyway.

After all, if either the Lord or Kaeus of the Bael Star Cluster detected any anomaly, Christine would face no good end—even if she had become this way on official business.

Of course, safeguards were still necessary.

When crafting 【Simulated Servant · Christine】, Li Ang had already planted a failsafe: should anyone attempt to analyze her, she would self-destruct.

Hearing this, Christine bowed her head in response: "Yes, Master."

After a brief hesitation, she spoke again: "Master…"

"Should I retaliate against Bak for you?"

Let the other sect die, not the poor disciple.

To ensure a better future for herself, Christine directly betrayed the Deputy Director of the Sixth Inspection Bureau, even though he had only come to seal 【Simulated Life】 upon her request.

'Sorry, Bak—for my future, I must make you suffer first.'

Christine offered a hollow, insincere repentance in her mind.

"Do as you see fit—just don't leave any traces."

Li Ang was highly satisfied with Christine's initiative.

It meant he had successfully planted a mole inside Blood Secret Co. —one of no low rank—which was clearly beneficial to the Plant Union.

After successfully securing Christine as his dog, Li Ang took her out of Tianzhiyuzhong and vanished within the bedroom.

At this moment, Christine stared at the unchanged surroundings, feeling as though she had crossed through lifetimes.

No one knew what she had just endured.

Recalling the suffocating death she had experienced, Christine's gaze gradually hardened.

She never wanted to feel that again—so even if she had to sacrifice her soul, she would live.

As for Blood Secret Co.

Let us each mind our own business.
