Chapter 1221: Chapter 1075: Theft (Extra Chapter, Subscription Requested)

Emperor Star.

Blue Dragon Community, Villa 1167.

In the lab, Fang Xi had already checked all the monitoring systems and dismantled them.

After all, as a scientist, some quirks and privacy could be understood.

At that moment, accompanied by a flash of white light, a small cloth package appeared on the experiment table.

"Divine Thief Secret Medicine..."

Fang Xi opened the package and saw inside a dried rat’s tail, several pieces of strange plants and minerals, and a bottle of Rootless Water.

"The main ingredients are the tail of a ’Hole Void Rat’ and a small piece of clear quartz..."

He muttered to himself, picked up a beaker, and precisely prepared the "Divine Thief" Secret Medicine.

But looking at the Secret Medicine, he did not drink it but began to use various advanced instruments to start analyzing the components.

In addition, in the laboratory, there was a group of lab rats being kept in different temperature-controlled boxes.

Fang Xi put on white gloves, picked up one, and dropped a drop of "Divine Thief" Secret Medicine into the mouse’s mouth.

He would not directly consume the Secret Medicine from another world to become the "Divine Thief."

After all, the strength of Ninth-rank Different People was just so-so; recently, he could wipe out quite a few with just a breath, and there was no point in losing sight of his goals.

Even the power of Laws was something he could manipulate when he reached the Planet Level, since his own comprehension of Laws was not to be underestimated.

Once the Cultivation was there, everything would fall into place.

At this moment, studying the "Divine Thief" Secret Medicine was merely exploring the possibility of mortals obtaining the power of Laws.

Once successful, even if he later reincarnated in a world like Great Luo, he wouldn’t have to worry about anything.

Mortal Skills might initially be restricted by spiritual energy, but Laws wouldn’t!

And regardless of the world, the foundation that constitutes the world consists of various Laws!

Thus, if he could create a method to wield the power of Laws at a low level, then it meant that in any reincarnation in any world, he could directly gain extraordinary power.

"In all times and spaces, eternally at ease..."

"This might count as a beggar’s shrunken version of ’Great Luo’?"

Seemingly thinking of something, Fang Xi let out a self-lost chuckle.

Just then, the lab mouse in his hand suddenly shrieked.

The mouse became extremely agitated, its eyes turned blood-red, and suddenly, crimson tumors started growing on its body.

Boom!

Suddenly, the lab mouse swelled up like a balloon and then burst.

Blood splattered everywhere, but not a single drop touched Fang Xi; an invisible force arrested it in midair.

He picked up a test tube, took a drop of the exploded mouse’s blood, and carefully observed it under a microscope: "Different powers... quite an interesting substance, seems to be related to deities from other realms?"

After completing his research notes, Fang Xi picked up the second lab mouse...

...

As the universe turned and time flew.

Inside the laboratory.

Fang Xi looked at a lab mouse.

Separated by a pane of toughened glass, the mouse hooked its claw, and the cheese on the other side of the glass appeared beneath its paw.

"Unexpectedly... The law involved in the ’Divine Thief’ Secret Medicine is not just the Void, but primarily the concept of ’thievery’..."

"Blindly, I feel like I’ve found something profound..."

Fang Xi stroked his chin: "In the True Immortal Realm, there seems to be no Prime Taoist Master promoted by the Law of Thievery... If I could achieve Dao with this, perhaps I could be called ’Celestial Supreme of Theft’?"

He sauntered out of the laboratory.

Soon, the mouse that was nibbling cheese suddenly had a gleam in its eye, and gently pressed on the door lock with its paw.

Click!

The glass cage in the lab directly opened.

The mouse darted out and then landed in Fang Xi’s hand: "The concept of ’thievery’, huh? It seems if developed further, it could indeed be quite promising..."

With a casual wave of his hand, all the instruments in the lab, including the lab mice previously tested, disappeared in a flash of silver light.

After ensuring he hadn’t left a trace, Fang Xi then went to the living room to savor today’s delicacies.

"Your Highness, Prince Ten Thousand and Seventy has arrived!"

A servant with pointed ears and an elf-like beauty bowed and reported.

"Let him in!"

Fang Xi fell silent for a moment, then focused on dealing with a plate of steak.

After a while, a handsome young man in purple-gold attire with red hair falling to his waist and a golden horn atop his head entered the castle.

Seeming somewhat similar to Fang Xi but more resolute, with a confident smile hanging on his lips as if nothing in the universe could perplex him.

"Kaya... hello."

The young man slightly raised his chin: "I am Sato Phoenix... I heard you are a research scientist, and I’d like to invite you to join my team."

"..."

Fang Xi was somewhat speechless, slowly putting a piece of steak into his mouth before responding, "Sato, I remember, I declined all ball and banquet invitations, and I thought I made it quite clear—I just want to focus on research and then ascend to the Royal Science Academy."

"Looks like you think we’re ranked too low, with no chance?" Sato sneered, his aura growing stronger, "But my talent is enough to catch up with the time these countless mediocrities spend cultivating!"

He looked at Fang Xi, sincerely reaching out his hand, "Kaya, come help me... Once I become the Cosmic Emperor, I will definitely send you to the Royal Science Academy, and you will also directly serve as the dean!"

Sato’s tone was full of confidence, as if what he was saying could become reality!

Combined with his strong dominance, he was definitely a powerful persuader.

"..."

Fang Xi was speechless for a long while, then slowly shook his head, "I refuse!"

"Why?!"

Sato’s expression turned ugly, clearly not expecting Fang Xi to refuse him, "Do you not believe what I said? My talent is enough to make everything I said come true!"

"None of this matters..."

Fang Xi sighed, "Sato... you won’t even call me ’brother.’ Isn’t that explanation enough?"

Sato’s face instantly froze.

He had to admit, Kaya was spot on.

He had come here today just with the intention of subduing an underling, never really seeing the other as his elder brother.

But this attitude, no doubt, deeply hurt Kaya.

"Trivial pride..."

Sato stood up and strode out, "You have ten Cosmic Days to think..."

Fang Xi watched his back, rubbing his eyes and remaining silent for a long time.

Soon after, Wenger walked in, bowed and said, "Prince Kaya, did Prince Sato just visit?"

"Yes, he invited me, and I refused,"

Fang Xi answered with a smile.

"He actually refused, Prince Sato is a well-known genius, already having cultivated the ’Nuclear Fusion Secret Skill’ to the twenty-seventh level. Once he reaches the thirtieth level, he will surely break through the Red Giant stage without fail, lacking only in resource input... He is even considered a growing Neutron Star Immortal, with even a one in a thousand chance to become a Black Hole Immortal!" Wenger said, "It is admirable for your highness to make such a decisive refusal."

"It’s just to avoid any trouble."

Fang Xi shook his head, looking at Wenger, "Do you have any recommendations on this, Wenger? After all, to enter the Royal Science Academy, not only does one need scientific achievements reaching the seventh tier, but an Imperial Edict from the Emperor could also grant direct entry..."

"A struggle for succession?"

Wenger, having known Prince Kaya for long and understanding his easygoing nature, sat opposite Fang Xi, poured himself a glass of fruit wine, and smiled, "Before placing any bets, your highness should know your own stakes..."

"Yes, my status as a prince is hardly worth mentioning, but the biggest trump card is actually you, isn’t it, Wenger?"

Fang Xi smiled.

With over ten thousand princes, being a prince itself had little value.

It was instead each prince’s startup capital and the guardianship of a Red Giant Level Immortal that were the true treasures!

Sato was also gathering people everywhere, similarly preparing for his future promotion to the Red Giant Level or even Neutron Star Level Immortal.

After all, purchasing various mechanisms required a significant amount of money.

And the pathways to advancement were many.

As a prince with potential for the esteemed position of Cosmic Emperor, naturally, he should choose the most luxurious pathway!

"Once aware of his own stakes, Prince Kaya could then make choices to maximize his benefits..."

Wenger guided solicitously.

"Even so, I really do not fancy these, nor do I want you involved in any danger because of this..."

Fang Xi sincerely replied.

In fact, he had long had plans.

’A billion Lanicanian currency is actually enough for me to advance to the Red Giant Level... though it’s not the most luxurious pathway, the cohesion of concepts can compensate for these weaknesses...’

’Even for the later advancement to Neutron Star Level, or even Black Hole Immortal, it would be a great help...’

If he could gather the ’concept of space-time’ early, it naturally would greatly assist in breaking through to Black Hole Immortal.

This was clearly stated in many texts.

Unfortunately, beings in this grand cosmic universe naturally had some flaws in comprehending Laws.

Such extraordinary talents were indeed rare, hardly seen even in tens of billions of years across the universe.

’Although I am not such a genius, I can become one through later efforts...’

’Therefore, I don’t need any other means... just silently watch the events unfold and then break through with cultivation.’

"Prince Kaya..."

Wenger was genuinely moved, "Thank you..."

"There’s no need for formalities, just be as usual," Fang Xi gestured, his gaze then became profound, "I am planning to break through to the Planet Level soon."

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Wenger’s expression turned solemn, "I will immediately prepare the most suitable planet for your highness. What requirements do you have for the planet?"

Advancing to the Planet Level naturally had many methods and routes.

Especially the choice of planet, and the setup of a ’Gravity Well.’

If he chose a planet with an extremely rich metal ore vein, plus a top-quality Gravity Well, the achievement of the Planet─level Immortal would naturally be more potent.

On the contrary, being a step slow meant being slow in every step... and this was no joke!

"The cheapest option will do..."

Fang Xi said nonchalantly, leaving Wenger stunned in place, unable to speak for a long time.
