Chapter 108 Because of its immortality (4K)
Trusting Xu Yuan, no one spoke.
However, Xu Yuan still noticed their worries.
Well, that's only natural.
He suddenly realized that the little crow waited for him to return before starting the experiment, not only because it wasn't 100% sure and was afraid of causing some unexpected situation, but also because it was worried about the current situation.
If he weren't there, it would be difficult to appease everyone.
Xu Yuan turned to look at the crow: "What abilities did Roxanne gain after you transformed her?"
The crow replied, "Except for not being able to transform other creatures into vampires or undead like the crow, and not being able to resurrect after death, everything else is the same."
The Corpse-Born is also a concept from JOJ0.
Its physiological structure is largely similar to that of humans.
Physical abilities such as strength and speed are greatly enhanced, and one cannot feel pain.
However, it does not have the high-speed regeneration ability of a vampire.
Most of them are intellectually disabled, eat human flesh like zombies, and act on their bloodlust.
They can be considered a type of zombie or ghoul.
The process of creating a zombie is similar to that of creating a vampire; the only difference is the amount of blood injected and Xiaoya's subjective opinion.
Little Crow can actually grant its followers the ability to create followers or corpses; it once told Xu Yuan this.
However, Xu Yuan banned it.
Because if that were done, the number of vampires and undead would likely start to expand uncontrollably.
Although those who are converted will follow the converts, it expands exponentially layer by layer like a pyramid scheme. Who knows what changes will occur?
A sufficiently large number can turn any low-probability event into a certainty.
At that point, the situation will spiral out of control and escalate into a massive disaster.
Xu Yuan did not want to see that kind of thing happen.
Besides, he had promised Joe and Zeppeli that he wouldn't let Raven's abilities turn into a disaster.
Of course, he never explicitly said that.
Xu Yuan disdained to delve into language loopholes or the like.
He didn't say that at the time, but that was what he meant.
For Xu Yuan, that was enough.
A commitment is always a form of self-restraint.
Those who don't want to comply can find a thousand or one excuses afterward, even if they explicitly say so.
Those who are willing to abide by the rules will not care whether they put words into action at the time.
Therefore, Xu Yuan forbade Xiao Ya from granting his followers the ability to create followers or corpses.
Because as long as the number of vampires is kept to a very small range, and with the orders given by Little Crow, they can be made harmless.
However, once the quantity restrictions are lifted, it can easily turn into an uncontrollable disaster.
As for not granting Roxanne the ability to resurrect, it was simply because the cost was too high, and Crow didn't want to pay it.
However, it endowed her with the characteristic of not being afraid of sunlight.
After all, this is extremely important to vampires.
If one is afraid of sunlight, not only will it make movement difficult, but it will also be a major weakness.
After asking Xiao Ya and getting the answer, Xu Yuan took out a bowl, cut open his palm, and began to bleed.
The bloodletting was done very quickly.
Because it doesn't flow out naturally, but rather he uses energy to carry the blood out of the blood vessels.
During this time, he carefully observed Roxanne.
It was discovered that although she had consumed a lot of life energy due to resurrection and regeneration, she did not waver at all when she saw blood in front of her.
Clearly, there's no problem with willpower.
I just lost control because it was my first time experiencing that feeling.
After all, she had only just become a vampire.
The power of the greatsword is very unstable; each time it unleashes its demonic power, it is actually struggling against the awakening impulse.
Those who can become No.0.1 are basically people with strong willpower.
Isley awakened out of a sense of responsibility, a desire to purge the Awakened, and also because he overestimated himself.
Lucyella was due to the failure of the twin experiment.
To be precise, it's because although Lucy and Lafayette are sisters, they are not twins and were not raised from a young age, resulting in a lack of mental synchronization between them.
During the experiment, Lafayette lost control of Luciela's mind, preventing her from turning back into a human.
The reason for Livlu's awakening is unknown.
It can be said that very few No.0.1s truly awaken because they cannot resist their impulses.
Otherwise, this island would have been riddled with abysses long ago.
In terms of willpower, these people are indeed excellent candidates for family members.
Having gone through the long careers of trainees and greatsword warriors, they have become accustomed to suppressing their instinctive impulses with willpower.
After draining a bowl of blood, Xu Yuan said to Roxanne, "You should be able to control your body now and change your body structure within certain limits. Just put your finger in and let your blood vessels absorb the blood."
Unlike vampires in other works, the vampires in JOJ0 do not need to use fangs to suck blood.
More often, they use the blood vessels in their fingers to suck blood.
Visually, this is undoubtedly more palatable than picking up a bowl and gulping it down.
Therefore, Xu Yuan did not make her drink it, but instead asked her to try to change her body.
Roxanne looked at the blood in the bowl, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's okay, I can bear it."
Xu Yuan shook his head and said, "Currently, even if you learn Ripple, you vampires still have a deficit in life energy and need to replenish it regularly."
"Ripple? Life energy?" Roxanne wondered.
Xu Yuan said, "I'll talk about the specifics later."
"In short, although you can bear it now, the situation will get worse over time."
"Once it erupts, things will become tricky."
"It's like a spring; the tighter it's compressed, the stronger the rebound will be when it can't be compressed anymore."
"Instead of doing that, it's better to take it easy from time to time."
"Besides, I need your cooperation now."
Roxanne hesitated for a moment before putting her fingers into the bowl.
Soon, the blood in the bowl visibly began to decrease, being absorbed through the fingers.
"How does it feel?" Xu Yuan asked.
Roxanne recalled, "There was a sense of satisfaction, like eating when you're hungry. Also, I felt a replenishment of some kind of energy in my body—was that the life energy you mentioned earlier?"
"That's right." Xu Yuan looked at Milia. "Miliya, find someone and have her go get some blood from Fang Qianze."
Miria nodded.
Soon, a greatsword-wielding man returned carrying a bowl.
"Try this one," Xu Yuan said to Roxanne.
Roxanne put her finger in, and the blood began to be absorbed, but she frowned.
"How is it?" Xu Yuan asked.
Roxanne shook her head: "I don't feel well, can I not take it?"
"Can."
Upon hearing this, Roxanne withdrew her fingers.
Xu Yuan once told Da Qiao and Qi Beilin that they could buy blood for Xiao Ya to drink.
But later, he realized he had made a mistake.
Ordinary people don't have much life energy in their blood.
After the crow got used to his blood, the blood of ordinary people tasted like cardboard and had no appeal to it.
In addition, life energy gradually dissipates after blood leaves the body.
Unless it is stored in a place where time stands still.
For example, the inventory.
Blood can be purchased from the black market, but this will inevitably take some time.
By the time it reached Xu Yuan's hands, the pitiful life energy in an ordinary person's blood had already been completely exhausted.
Roxanne is now a powerful being at the Abyss level.
In Xu Yuan's perception, he should be similar to Furinji Hayato, roughly at the half-step fourth level.
The blood of ordinary people held no appeal for her.
Because the vampires in JOJ0 actually suck the life energy inside the vampire.
In the original JOJO manga, Dio's injuries healed slowly because he drank the blood of ordinary people.
If Xu Yuan gave him some blood, he'd probably be incredibly high on the spot.
After pouring out the blood from the bowl, Xu Yuan looked at Theresa and said, "Give me some blood."
Theresa rolled her eyes at him and gave him some blood.
Roxanne looked at Theresa with suspicion and uncertainty.
She felt an incredible life energy emanating from that blood.
Moreover, she also felt a sense of oppression from the other person, like facing a towering mountain.
Roxanne is very clear about her own abilities.
She knew that she was now probably able to rival those three Abyss Beings.
How can there be someone who far surpasses the Abyss Beings?!
In the years since her death, such a powerful warrior has appeared in the organization?!
Are all those abysses dead?
Also, why don't they have any wounds on their bodies?
Could it be that the tissue modification surgery has been improved?!
And another thing, who exactly are "sir" and "master"?
Why do these soldiers seem to listen to the master?!
Could he be the new leader of the organization?
In addition, what exactly is a vampire constitution?
Although she knew that her physical condition had changed, she wasn't really clear about the specifics.
In short, Roxanne had many doubts in her mind.
But she knew now was not the time to ask.
As she watched the blood dripping from Theresa's hands, a primal desire flickered in her eyes.
However, she still didn't do anything.
Although I longed for it, I controlled myself.
"Try this one," Xu Yuan said, handing it to her.
Roxanne took it and quickly absorbed it completely.
"How does it feel?"
"It's like eating a delicious meal. And the life energy in my body is instantly replenished."
Xu Yuan looked at Miria: "Let's summarize."
Miria looked at Roxanne and said, "Now it seems that vampires are not the same as demons."
"Demonization forcibly alters cognition, turning people into demons at the level of their thinking."
"They believe that eating human organs is a matter of course."
"Moreover, demons have no humanity whatsoever."
"But becoming a vampire doesn't have this problem."
"Roxanne still retains her human consciousness, and even shows resistance to vampire because of it."
"Furthermore, rather than bloodsucking, she seems to be absorbing the life energy from the blood."
"From this point of view, there is no need to worry that she will attack ordinary people."
"Because the life energy in the blood of ordinary people is far too scarce for a powerful person like her."
"That's right." Xu Yuan nodded. "What she's actually absorbing is the life energy in the blood."
He paused, then said, "First of all, I want to tell you that there are many kinds of vampires."
O
After all, the concept of vampires can vary in different works.
There are even things like falling in love with the other person.
However, Xu Yuan couldn't tell them these things, so he simply said that there are many kinds of vampires.
"Some vampires drink blood because blood is their food."
"Some vampires drink blood out of a craving."
"The branch of Little Crow is for life energy."
"The root cause is its immortality."
In the real world, countless people want to pursue immortality.
But what no one knows is that the [Unknown Entity] actually holds the key to immortality.
These words caused an uproar among the crowd.
Immortal? !
Roxanne was also stunned.
She stared blankly at herself for a moment, then suddenly looked at Xu Yuan: "Me, immortal?!"
Xu Yuan said, "It just means you no longer have a lifespan limit and won't die naturally. You will still die if you are killed; Little Crow didn't give you the ability to resurrect."
Upon hearing this, Roxanne instinctively looked at the crow.
Little Crow said, "If you behave well in the future, we might consider giving you a chance to be resurrected."
Regardless, the news of immortality immediately shocked everyone.
Some people looked at Roxanne with envy.
After all, who wouldn't want to live forever?
Some people believe that if immortality requires bloodsucking, then such immortality is not worth having.
Different people have different ideas.
"The ability to remain immortal requires a continuous consumption of life energy," Xu Yuan said. "Although life energy can be accumulated, especially after learning Ripple, the accumulation rate still cannot keep up with the consumption rate. Vampires, on the other hand, can replenish their life energy by plundering it through blood-drinking."
Practicing the Ripple Technique can refine one's blood and accelerate the generation of life energy.
After all, ripples were not originally a combat technique.
Rather, it is a breathing practice method created by the XZ monks in order to cultivate their character and pursue immortality.
"Was that why she wanted to drink blood earlier?" someone asked.
"That's not true," Xu Yuan said. "The life energy consumed by immortality isn't that exaggerated."
"If she needs extra blood every now and then, then she'll be busy sucking blood 24 hours a day."
"She consumed a lot of life energy because of her resurrection."
"In addition to the regeneration of internal organs and wound repair, the life energy is consumed excessively in a short period of time."
"So the craving for blood suddenly surged up."
Miria asked, "Under normal circumstances, how often does she need to drink blood?"
Xu Yuan glanced at Xiao Ya and said, "Based on Xiao Ya's condition, it was originally planned to supplement her about once a week."
"Of course, if you can hold back, you can hold back for even longer."
"But when life energy is insufficient, it is meaningless to force oneself to endure it."
"It will only make the bloodlust more and more intense."
"Things will only get complicated when they finally erupt."
"Instead of doing that, it's better to take it easy from time to time."
"I used to feed it about once a week."
"But after it practices ripples, under the same conditions, the time can be extended to about half a month."
"Therefore, if one practices Ripple to a high level, one may be able to achieve self-sufficiency."
"Even exceeding the rate of consumption of immortality."
"Even if regeneration causes a large consumption of life energy in a short period of time, it can slowly recover on its own."
"Of course, I don't deny the danger of vampires."
"Because compared to accumulating wealth yourself, plundering is undoubtedly simpler and faster."
"But I believe that with the crows' control over their flocks, as long as their numbers are kept under control, they can be kept harmless."
"However, I do not require your agreement."
"I'm just explaining this to you."
"You are free to have your own opinions."
