The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Isaac took the list, his brows furrowing. It wasn't that the treasures were bad, but rather that they were too good. For example, there was something called the Box of Ysera, a very famous treasure that connected countless planes. It could be used once a day with a large-scale plane teleportation spell to send resources from other planes over in large quantities!

Having it means having a continuous source of resources.

For example, there is also a complete corpse of a fifth-order deity inside!

Whether used for research or eaten by mice, it has extremely high value.

There are many other treasures like these, but precisely because they are so valuable, they are difficult for Isaac to acquire, and with his strength, he may not be able to protect them.

Fortunately, Philo understood this, so the list also included a sentence that he could keep his choice and take it when needed, but he could borrow one treasure for now.

The ownership of this treasure rests with the Terran royal family. If anyone wants to make a move, they'll have to consider both the Terran Empire and the Flesh Cult.

However, Philo could have just sent the accompanying message instead of the list. After all, if it were a loan, he would definitely have used the treasure, [Francis's Life Derivation Technique].

He never gave up the idea of ​​replicating this thing, after all, if he replicated it, wouldn't he completely bewitch the billions of flesh and blood beings?

So, judging others by his own standards, Isaac thought Philo was trying to disgust him!

I just want to see him looking like he wants it but can't have it!

Isaac will remember this grudge!

Isaac narrowed his eyes and quickly circled [Francis's Life Regeneration Technique] on the list. He then handed it back to Liuli: "Don't choose anything for now. Borrow this first. No rush. You can give it back to me after they've used it. Give it to me as soon as the combat data for the goblins and swift wolves is available."

“Yes, Master.” Liuli took the list, nodded, and turned to leave.

Isaac then quickly walked to the operating table at the other end to begin a new surgery.

After a month, the slaves Isaac had purchased finally arrived—a full one hundred human males, all of whom were "serious criminals." Of course, whether it was Isaac or not was unknown; that's what the slave trader Remy said.

Therefore, this time his transplant recipient became a human.

Although the data from the Goblin Eye experiment has not been fully collected, the remaining part actually involves the rejection process, which is unrelated to the transplant surgery itself but to the post-operative recovery spells and potions.

This part can be adjusted immediately, so it's fine to perform the transplant surgery on these people first.

Isaac's previous practice was quite effective. After the test subject was changed to a human, although Isaac was more careful, he was much faster than when he transplanted the goblin, and the success rate was also very high.

In just half a month of non-stop work, all the transplant surgeries on human test subjects were completed, with a success rate as high as 91%!

Only nine people had their transplants fail for other reasons.

Unlike the goblins, they did not die from the failed surgery, because these were slaves that Isaac had bought with his own money, and they were even skilled slaves with some special abilities, so they were quite valuable.

So when Isaac discovered the surgery had failed, he decisively transformed them into dimensional apostles before they lost their lives, granting them immortality and making them his servants.

Then came a new round of observation.

Of the ten goblins that survived the first transplant surgery, nine died in the battle against the Gale Wolves, leaving only one goblin alive.

Interestingly, it survived not because its fusion with the Magic Eye was perfect, but because the Magic Eye and the magic power within it had a severe rejection reaction. Then, faced with death, it relied on its tenacious will to survive, unleashed unprecedented potential, overcame the rejection reaction, and not only achieved a deep fusion with the Magic Eye, but also produced new effects.

In addition to its original immobilization ability, its magic eye also has the ability to summon goblins, and the consumption is very low. With its meager magic power, it can summon more than ten goblins.

It was the combination of these two abilities that enabled it to defeat the seemingly invincible Gale Wolf, giving Isaac a perfect demonstration of the miracle of life!

Unfortunately, according to Isaac's analysis of the data, this situation is not replicable and is a true miracle of life.

Fortunately, the impact was not significant, and Isaac still obtained enough data to optimize the existing potions and spells to some extent.

As for this lucky goblin, Isaac's original plan was to turn it from an experimental subject into a full-fledged employee of the mage tower, just like the rat. After all, he already had plenty of monsters, so one more wouldn't make a difference. Unfortunately...

It's so ugly!

Moreover, the demonic eye between its brows has merged with it too deeply, turning its originally ruby-like pupils green. Furthermore, its intelligence remains as low as ever, and like most goblins, it is filled with monstrous savagery and violent instincts.

They're all about building muscle, not brains.

Of course, Isaac didn't deal with it. After all, it was one of the miracles of life he had witnessed firsthand. So Isaac transformed it into a dimensional apostle. As a henchman, it was still quite useful.

Moreover, after becoming a dimensional apostle, it will break the racial restrictions of goblins, making it much easier to improve its strength. Furthermore, Isaac can sense that under the influence of the concept of "profound" in the dimensional world, its magic eye has begun to nurture a third special kind of magic.

Isaac was very much looking forward to this, after all, the Dimensional Apostles were his.

……

Time passed again, and a month later, the second phase of the controlled experiment was successfully completed.

In the second phase of the experiment, Isaac was divided into two groups. One group used the improved potions and spells normally, with real-time adjustments made based on their physical condition. The other group only used the improved potions and spells, and then used a cheat code to adjust the success rate, in order to compare the data.

After completing the second phase of the controlled experiment, Isaac still did not use it on himself. Instead, he made some further optimizations to the potions and spells based on the data, and then quickly launched the third phase of the experiment.

After another month, and confirming that there were no problems with the transplant surgery, he finally began to operate on himself!

Chapter 195 The Attack of the White Whale Clone!

On the operating table in the Mage Tower laboratory, Isaac lay flat, with all the necessary potions for transplanting the magic eye and an eyeball that looked like a stone placed beside him.

After preparing for so long, it's time to transplant the Demon Eye into myself.

Above the operating table, Hamon the Claw was moving his five long, menacing claws. It was Hamon the Claw who was performing the surgery on Isaac. Hamon was the only person Isaac could trust for such a task.

After all, it's my own magical pet.

He wouldn't trust any other wizard, let alone Isaac's older sister Cheryl, to perform surgery on his own forehead!

This is why he spends so much time practicing. Hamon and Isaac are one; whatever he can do, Hamon can do too. Hamon was the one who performed most of the other transplant surgeries on Isaac.

Soon, the pre-operative preparations were completed. Hamon first sprinkled down specks of magical light, a spell used for anesthesia, which slowly put Isaac to sleep.

Then, the sharp claws gently sliced ​​across Isaac's brow, splitting open layers of skin and flesh to reveal the skull. A light scrape on the skull then created a shallow pit.

Harmon's greatest advantage in performing surgery is that its sharp claws can completely replace a scalpel, are more flexible, and can do many things that Isaac cannot.

Take the matter of shaving someone's skull, for example. Even Isaac himself wouldn't dare say he could succeed 100%, but Hamon would never make a mistake.

After removing a small piece of the skull, Hamon gently took a fine, net-like tissue from a container of potions and laid it lightly on Isaac's forehead. Then, he split his palm open, extended his long tongue, licked around his palm, and then a tongue-twisting incantation floated out.

A subtle magical fluctuation covered Isaac's forehead, and a fine network of tissue then merged into Isaac's forehead.

This is an artificial nerve, also known as a magic circuit. Without this, the magic eye would be nothing more than a decoration.

There were many similar things, which merged into Isaac's forehead one by one as Harmon moved.

Soon, the surgery reached its final stage—the transplantation of the magic eye!

Even though Isaac had already given Hamon a lot of experience beforehand, it still took the magic eye out of the potion with extreme care and then carefully placed it on the wound between Isaac's eyebrows.

The demon eye wasn't fully inserted; most of the eyeball was still sticking out. However, this was normal, as this was the third eye. Humans don't naturally have this structure, so it's impossible to completely modify it with just one surgery.

Therefore, after the transplant is completed, it is necessary to continue taking magic potions. In addition to solving the rejection problem, these magic potions will also promote the fusion of the magic eye and the body, making it truly become a part of the human body.

After placing the magic eye into the wound, Hamon raised its paw and gently shook it up and down, as if taking a deep breath. But soon, it stabilized again, its fingertips tracing patterns in the air, wisps of magical light appearing before landing on Isaac's forehead and the magic eye.

The previously transplanted artificial nerves and other tissues began to exhibit magical power, gradually flowing towards the central magic eye...

soon……

Artificial nerve, connection successful...

The stance on life assimilation has been established...

Soul Resonance Magic Runes, beginning to synchronize...

……

Under Harmon's skillful operation, all steps proceeded smoothly, and the surgery was soon completed successfully. Isaac's eyelids twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

He raised his hand and touched the bulge between his eyebrows, somewhat anticipating the power of this thing.

He stretched his limbs and gently activated the magic between his brows. After discovering that some kind of power was indeed being nurtured, he felt relieved.

but……

Isaac frowned slightly. Was it just his imagination?

He felt that the magic that was being nurtured was somewhat evil.

Although he sensed that the magic was somewhat evil, Isaac did not actively try to change it. After all, he had initially chosen the Kaleidoscope Eye because of the thrill of opening blind boxes, so he naturally wouldn't interfere with the gathering of this power.

After drinking the potion that was placed next to the operating table, he withdrew his magic claws, walked to the desk, sat down, and looked at the matters to be dealt with.

As soon as Isaac opened the memo, his brows furrowed. He was surprised to find that there was a mountain of things to do!

Let's forget about developing the territory. Anyway, the territory isn't big, so it won't make much money, but it won't lose much either. It's good to find something for Rona to do. Her lack of confidence is not only due to her incomplete understanding of her own strength, but also has a lot to do with her previous experiences.

After all, although she was a witch, perhaps because she was too well protected by the dragon mother who raised her, she did not have the abnormal mental state that normal witches possessed. In fact, she was even somewhat reclusive, so much so that despite being a spellcaster, she always did work that even low-level adventurers looked down upon...

Therefore, simply enriching her combat experience is not enough to build her confidence, which is why Isaac allowed Smith to take Lorna to start truly managing the territory.

However, these were ultimately minor matters for Isaac; the truly important things were...

Isaac couldn't resist touching his brow, but he pulled his hand back halfway, causing his brow to furrow even more.

Because he currently has several things to deal with—the analysis and replication of Francis's Life Derivation Technique, the Holy Lord's absorption of dimensional demon power, the Glass God Stealing Ascension Ceremony, the God of Credit bug, and the White Whale's deep-sea attack plan...

Each and every one of these matters is crucial; none can be postponed or taken lightly…

"Sigh~ If only I had the Shadow Clone Technique..." After saying that, Isaac sighed again, but that was impossible.

Isaac had this idea a long time ago and used his cheat ability to research it for a while, but he got nothing. Later, every time he gained relevant knowledge or ability, he researched it, but the final result was still the same - useless.

Including his white whale clone, although it is called a clone, it is actually more like a magical pet. Most of the time, the white whale clone is no different from a real white whale, whether in terms of thinking or habits.

It only possesses Isaac's will when Isaac focuses his attention on the beluga whale clone, but at this time, Isaac's human body is in a state of shutdown...

So it's impossible to open more lanes...

This seems to be related to the underlying rules of the world, but this is just Isaac's speculation and has not yet been confirmed.

So although it was a difficult choice, Isaac ultimately chose the first thing to do – the Beluga Whale Doppelganger Deep Sea Project!

Because other things require Isaac to devote a lot of energy, and his main body is currently merging with the Magic Eye, it is not suitable for him to make any big moves. So at this time, he can take some time to work on the White Whale clone.

However, before that, he needs to refine a Book of Privileges for himself. Before successfully acquiring the power of the God of Credit, he must use the Book of Privileges, since this thing provides a real boost to his strength.

Moreover, while he was busy transplanting the Demon Eye, Liuli was also collecting relevant materials for him. Although the top-grade refining materials were unavailable, he currently lacked the ability to refine them.

However, he still possesses the ability and materials to craft a low-level Privilege Book. Moreover, despite being a low-level Privilege Book, it can grant Isaac a loan limit of seven to ten Privilege Magic spells!

Although it may not seem like much, you should know that Isaac currently only has seven slots for the Privilege spellcasting skill, including both pre-deposit and loan slots!

Moreover, the quotas for the Book of Privileges are all for more flexible borrowing, which greatly enhances combat power.

Of course, the cost of repayment is even greater, but it's all worth it!
