The Villainous Young Master Just Wants to Live a Laid-Back Life

Chapter 149 Dark Demon, King of Strong Luck

Dark wasn't one to readily refuse.

Plus, he was genuinely interested, so he followed the shop attendant back into the secret room.

This time, the room had clearly been tidied. The semi-finished products, mere prototypes to gauge reactions, had been sent back to the factory for

repairs. Only a few completed items remained.

The most eye-catching among them was still that Goldfish Grass that looked like it had emerged from the underworld!

But right next to the Goldfish Grass, an ultra-cute creature instantly captivated Dark's full attention!

"Is this a Fennec Fox?"

Dark felt exceptionally surprised and delighted.

The shop attendant, seeing his good reaction, said proudly, "That's right, this is a type of Fox Grass—a Fennec Fox Grass."

Fennec Foxes are among the smallest canids on Earth.

Through long-term natural selection, they have developed a pair of distinctively adorable large ears,

and their fur ranges from creamy white to pale yellow.

The tip of their tail is usually black.

The Fennec Fox before Dark was a very standard type, but its delicate size was comparable even to the tiny kitten in Dark's dorm room.

Dark was captivated by it almost instantly!

Originally, Lust was a good match with "foxes." Who knows, if luck struck, he might even refine something like a fox spirit!

Dark, musing on possibilities, asked, "How many academic credits is this pot of Fox Grass?"

The shop attendant replied, "Fox Grass isn't mass-produced yet, so the price is a bit higher. A single pot costs at least one hundred academic credits."

Dark: "Understood. Does this pot of Fox Grass require special Cat Juice?"

Shop attendant: "That's not necessary. It uses the same Cat Juice as regular Cat Grass."

Before long,

Dark left the [Catnip Flower and Wood Shop] holding the Fox Grass.

Afterwards, he spent some time browsing the streets, buying all the necessary supplies for the Fox Grass.

With this pot of Fox Grass, he felt as if his research was on the verge of a major breakthrough.

Before, he had been struggling with whether to continue cultivating Lust Fruit or to store Lust and develop

Lust IV.

Now, he no longer had to agonize.

The precise amount of Lust required for Lust IV was still undetermined,

but the new Fox Grass was already in his possession.

There was no need for hesitation.

Upon returning to his dorm, Dark wasn't in a rush to cultivate Lust Fruit.

He planned to spend a day or two first, cultivating a bond with this Fox Grass.

In short, another sleeping basket had appeared by his bedside...

It wasn't until Saturday night

that he picked up his Magic Brain Dropper and once again used the "Clear Solid Drip Method" to extract the overflowing Lust from his brain.

Thus,

the 5 points of Lust stored from last month, plus yesterday's 1.5 points of Lust and today's

1.5 points of Lust, amounted to a full 8 points!

By this time, his 'Lust' indicator had also dropped from 109 to 106, considered within a safe range.

Next, he wasn't planning to risk increasing Lust anymore. Instead, he wanted to lower [Sloth] first.

But those were matters to consider at a later time.

After extracting enough Lust, Dark kept the Cat Grass in the bedroom and only brought the Fox Grass onto the

balcony. Then, he opened the Bug Tree's protective barrier and first injected today's 1.5 points of Lust into one of the Bug Branches.

Thus, among the Bug Branches on the Bug Tree, one branch now stored 3 points of Lust and two branches

each stored 2 points of Lust.

Dark picked up the Fox Grass, allowing it to absorb from the Bug Branch.

The effect was immediate.

The outcome remained unaffected by seasonal changes.

Above the Fox Grass's head, the Crest of Lust first emerged. Only then did tender buds sprout, grow into flower buds,

bloom under the moonlight, and finally bear fruit.

It was a fruit rich in Lust!

Immediately after, Dark injected the remaining 1 point of Lust into another Bug Branch for storage. Then he didn't forget to close the

protective barrier and carried the contentedly cooing Fox Grass back into the bedroom.

Because the weather had turned cold, Dark had already moved the Cow Grass's small house into a corner of his bedroom.

Now all three "Cat Grasses" were living indoors: the Cow Grass was quiet, the Cat Grass was lively, and the Fox Grass was exceptionally

charming.

Dark placed the softly cooing Fox Grass into the sleeping basket, and then began his experiment.

He was already well-versed in the experimental procedure.

First, he summoned [Shuckle].

Then he placed the Lust Fruit into Shuckle's chamber and waited for the fruit to dissolve and ferment.

Fermentation took about half an hour.

Half an hour later, he could obtain a cup of Lust Fruit Juice.

Next, he proceeded with the refining using the Basic Refining Method [Black Beast Species - General Type].

He used a blank Magic Guide Card worth 50 academic credits.

The core material was Lust Fruit.

As for the final result of the refining, it was completely left to fate.

This was a refinement without any intentional guidance.

Even the attribute selection for the refining method was the "General Type," which could refine other attributes.

This made the experiment even more random.

And also increased the possibility of experimental failure.

But Dark always seemed to have exceptional luck when crafting Magic Guide Spirit Cards.

The entire experimental process was exceptionally smooth.

Even after activating Refining Array No. 1, because the Lust Fruit Juice was insufficient to complete the refining,

he managed to resolve it at the last minute by adding extra materials!

Besides the Lust Fruit, Dark ultimately added the "Andersen Potion" he had received as a gift from Sister Carian!

The Grimm Potion and the Andersen Potion: one targeted illusions, the other targeted brainwashing.

When Dark had to choose between the two previously, he had chosen the Andersen Potion, which could dispel most curses involving

the brain and mental manipulation.

Originally, he had wanted to refine the Andersen Potion into a Potion Card. But as his knowledge accumulated, he realized that with his

current level, it was impossible to refine such a high-grade magic potion into a card, so he had put it aside until now.

As a result, when adding the materials, he poured all three vials of Andersen Potion into the mix at once!

Only then did the light of Refining Array No. 1 reach its peak, and the creation of the Magic Guide Spirit Card successfully advanced to the final

smelting step.

The Magic Guide Card turned into a light cocoon.

Dark reached out and lightly touched it, continuously channeling magic into the light cocoon.

Similar to when he created [Miltank], the magic within the light cocoon fluctuated continuously and various materials continued to smelt,

stabilizing after about five minutes.

At this point, Dark's expectations for this Magic Guide Spirit Card reached their peak.

He really wanted to know what kind of Magic Guide Spirit would be refined when there was no deliberate guidance!

So he quickly took out his Mercury Dagger and carefully cut open the entire light cocoon.

What emerged from the cut seam was a dreamlike pink hue.

That was the color of Lust and also the color of fairies.

Dark was momentarily entranced; he was captivated!
