Wizard: Scamming a Demon God

Although there was more detailed data on the Dragon Egg nearby, it wasn’t suitable for Isaac—at least, not for the current him. Half of the equipment in this lab was completely unfamiliar to him, and he was only vaguely familiar with the other half...

With two powerful figures watching him, he naturally wanted to show off his skills. It made no sense to try something he wasn’t proficient in.

After a short while, Isaac released his hand in surprise, a trace of shock in his eyes. ’Magic can do something like this?’

"Interesting. It seems you really have a few tricks up your sleeve. Come on, tell us what you saw." Cloth, who was standing to the side, crossed her arms, causing her ample chest to jiggle slightly.

"Yes." Isaac pondered for a moment, organizing his thoughts. "This... was created directly with Magic... I can’t explain this step, because I don’t understand it. It’s beyond the scope of my Knowledge."

As he spoke, a helpless expression appeared on Isaac’s face. His actual skill level was currently still limited to magical modification. Creating a lifeform directly with Magic... and such a powerful one at that... this was truly beyond his comprehension.

Liu Li was an exception. That was a unique power belonging to a Legendary Mage. And, strictly speaking, Liu Li’s birth was thanks to the Master of Billions of Flesh. In a way, Liu Li was the child they had nurtured together~

Yashan and Cloth smiled faintly and said nothing. They hadn’t expected Isaac to be able to figure this part out anyway.

"Let’s talk about the condition of this Dragon Egg... It’s incredible!" Isaac turned and looked up at the Dragon Egg, his face filled with shock. "The Dragon Blood in the egg is extremely pure, one might even say it’s too pure! Purifying the Dragon Blood starting from a new life is indeed an ingenious idea. The best part is, once this being is born, it will immediately be a Tier Three adult. And from what I can see, it also seems to have a remarkable capacity for learning!

But the most amazing part is that special power deep inside. It seems... it can be converted into other bloodlines..."

As he reached the end, Isaac’s voice grew quieter, and he turned to look at the two of them.

This time, Yashan and Cloth were truly astonished. They never imagined that the Dragon Mother’s secrets would be seen through by Isaac in such a straightforward manner, although this was partly because they had intentionally opened up and activated the Dragon Egg’s pheromones.

But this was enough to prove that Isaac’s talent was indeed remarkable. After all, he was just a newly promoted Grand Wizard!

"You are very good. Welcome to the Dragon Blood Purification research project." Yashan smiled faintly and extended his right hand to Isaac.

"Dragon Blood Purification?" Isaac glanced doubtfully at the Dragon Egg behind him. ’They created such a massive thing and they’re telling me it’s for Dragon Blood Purification?’

"Hehe~" Cloth chuckled. "Dragon Blood Purification is indeed the project we applied for, and it’s the main goal our team is currently focused on. However, a small ’accident’ occurred along the way, so we temporarily added some new requirements to the project. This is something only core members are privy to."

"Adding requirements... I get it... huh?" Isaac first nodded in understanding, then looked up in astonishment at Cloth, pointing to himself. "A core member? Me?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"That’s right, Isaac Solomon. Let me state it formally: you are now a core member of our Dragon Blood project team. Currently, there are only three core members who are just Grand Wizards like you. The rest are all High-level Mages or above." Cloth chuckled, looking at Isaac’s dumbfounded expression.

Isaac scratched his head. He felt a sense of unreality. ’A core member... The threshold for that is being a High-level Mage!’

He had only been thinking of using his Dragon Transformation Secret Medicine to trade for a position as a regular member. He hadn’t even dared to dream of becoming a core member, yet here he was, being made one directly?

’What are the benefits?’

Isaac stopped himself from asking the question out loud and instead asked, "A core member... am I qualified? My Knowledge reserves aren’t that extensive."

"It’s basically enough. Like most Mad Witches, you have an outstanding talent for Ritual Magic. From the perspective of rituals, the Magic World you see is different from ours, which is helpful to us. Moreover, your Dragon Transformation Secret Medicine is excellent. Although it still has many flaws, it’s already on the right path. It might even have the potential to lead us to complete the Dragon Blood Purification project."

Yashan explained, then asked, "What’s wrong? You don’t want to join?"

"No! I’ll join!" After confirming that he wasn’t just being brought on as a mascot, Isaac said excitedly.

"Good. Then take out your Magic Book. I’ll add you to the group." Cloth drew a multicolored symbol on Isaac’s Magic Book before tossing it back to him.

"The relevant permissions are on there. Go back and take a look for yourself first. The approval for related resources will still take some time. You should go back and get ready. In a little while, we’re going to hold a meeting about your Dragon Transformation Secret Medicine, so you need to be prepared."

"Yes!" Isaac nodded firmly.

"Alright, you can head back for now. You’re not in a suitable state to study anything right now anyway. The project team’s internal collection of books and Magic are shared. You can look at them whenever you want in the future, just don’t spread them to outsiders. Oh, and take this." Yashan pulled a brand-new Magic Book from his clothes and handed it to Isaac.

"This is..."

"Here. It’s the plan for this little guy. You can take a look when you have time. You’re very interesting; perhaps you can participate in this as well."

"Thank you, Lord Yashan!" Isaac accepted the Magic Book, slightly emotional, and put it away.

Just as Yashan had said, he was a bit too keyed up right now and wasn’t in the right state of mind for studying.

Afterward, Isaac left the Flesh Sect’s Dimension directly. He placed the two Magic Books on his desk and slumped into his chair. The whole thing felt like a dream. ’Did... did that really just happen?’

Letting out a long breath, Isaac collected his thoughts. He first opened the Sect’s Magic Book, wanting to see what benefits a core member of the project team received.

A good while later, Isaac sucked in a sharp breath!

’I’ve really struck it rich!’

First was the first benefit: every core member received a research fund of 10,000 magic stones per month. It could be accumulated for up to a year and was distributed directly, without needing much justification!

Second, the project team would cover all expenses and provide the technology for any body modifications related to Giant Dragons!

Third, he could use the project team’s procurement channels to buy anything he needed, all at a 20% discount!

"GULP~" Isaac swallowed hard. This was the definition of getting rich overnight!

All three benefits were incredibly tempting, especially the second one: free materials and technology for all body modifications related to Giant Dragons!

He was now a Grand Wizard, and the Cultivation at the Grand Wizard stage required extensive body modification to transform oneself from a mortal into a Magical Creature. The moment he saw this benefit, he was tempted to revise his original plan and just become a Dragon Mage!

After all, Giant Dragons were an extremely powerful Magic Race!

But it was just a passing thought. Giant Dragons were a powerful Magic Race, but not the most powerful!

The Cultivation of a Legendary Mage was all about taking shortcuts. So if he was going to take one, he should naturally take the fastest and the best one!

"Whew~" Isaac took two deep breaths, put down the Magic Book, and forced himself to calm down. The benefits were numerous, but he still needed to work hard to turn them into actual strength.

And improving his strength couldn’t be rushed. He needed to carefully consider which body part and which ability to choose for his first modification surgery. ’For now, let’s look at the information on that egg.’

Burning with intense curiosity, Isaac opened the Magic Book Yashan had given him. The line of text that met his eyes made him lean back slightly—*Some Speculations on the Creation of Tiamat, the Mother of Ten Thousand Dragons!*

Tiamat, one of the ancient Dragon Gods!

Legend said that she gave birth to the Giant Dragons and was the origin of all of them. But this legend was debunked by the legendary Dragon-Slaying Mage. It was said that he sought out the Five-Colored Dragon Mother, Tiamat, killed her, and then studied her corpse and the source of her power, confirming that she did not possess the ability to create Giant Dragons.

Today, that research journal is still preserved and displayed to the public in the Truth Association’s museum.

And now, they were actually trying to create Tiamat?

’Or rather, is it really creation?’

Filled with intense curiosity, Isaac opened the Magic Book...
