A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 238 Returning to the Laboratory

"No!!!"

As Jinx cheerfully pushed open the lab door, her good mood for the day vanished instantly.

The laboratory was in complete chaos, as if it had been robbed, or rather, it actually had been robbed.

"The lab equipment I just mentioned! I spent a whole week's allowance to buy it!"

While Jinx is still having a meltdown, Violet has already started her investigation.

"The thief was very skilled. The outer lock was not damaged, so it was probably pried open. All the valuable equipment was taken away, and the items that couldn't be taken were disassembled and all the key components disappeared."

"In conclusion, firstly, this was a group crime, since one person couldn't move so many things. Secondly, there must have been someone in the team with the relevant professional knowledge, otherwise it would have been impossible to accurately know the value of these items."

Violet then started rummaging through something, and soon she found a whole bunch of Jinx's jewelry.

"The jewelry wasn't lost, but there were signs that it had been ransacked. It's obvious that the other party was after your experimental equipment."

"I'd rather have lost my jewelry!"

Jinx has a lot of jewelry, but she never wears it and just throws it somewhere.

"Wait a minute, what's this?"

Jinx noticed something new next to her notebook.

It is a notebook.

"Bang!"

Something exploded. Violet instinctively shielded Jinx behind her, but she was unaffected by the impact.

"Hahaha……"

Then she heard Jinx's maniacal laughter.

This kid must be crazy. The lab's gone, and he's still laughing so loudly.

"Jinx, you're laughing, why are you laughing? Why am I laughing so hard...?"

Then she inexplicably started laughing too.

"Hahaha……"

The bodyguards around him burst into laughter, and everyone was laughing happily, filling the air with a joyful atmosphere.

Jiang Shuzhou went to great lengths to prevent Jinx from being too heartbroken.

We should face difficulties with a smile, so why are we so gloomy?

Why not just smile?

"Haha, phew, thank goodness, I almost laughed myself to death."

Violet, being the closest to the source of the infection, was the last to be affected, but also the first to recover.

"What's going on?"

"I chuckle, I don't know, ha..."

Jinx laughed for a while before she calmed down.

"I just touched this laptop and something exploded, thankfully it wasn't a bomb."

"So we should thank them for their kindness?!"

"Forget it, I'll accept that I've seen something like this. There's no need to report it to the law enforcement officers; it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway. These people have probably already moved those experimental devices, but I think they're probably using them themselves."

Jinx laughed for a long time, feeling much better. Having witnessed such amazing skill, she no longer had any intention of pursuing the matter further.

"By the way, what is this thing?"

Jinx opened her notebook, intending to take a look.

"Don't!"

Violet threw the laptop out like a bomb, right into the group of bodyguards.

The bodyguards were exasperated. "Miss, can't you throw it somewhere else?"

Immediately afterwards, a bodyguard lunged at it, trying to crush the laptop with his own weight.

The result, of course, was that nothing happened; there was no explosion as they had expected, nor anything else.

It's obvious that this is just an ordinary notebook.

"What are you afraid of? If they wanted to kill us, the previous one wouldn't have just made us laugh."

Jinx then nudged the bodyguard, signaling him to move aside, before picking up her notebook and starting to read.

At first she was indifferent, but then her eyes grew brighter and her expression became more and more infatuated.

"That's it, that's it!"

Immediately afterwards, Jinx dashed into the laboratory.

"Tell Dad we have to find the owner of this notebook!"

Jinx's voice was full of excitement.

"You want to capture him and torture him severely?"

"I want to marry him!"

"?"

Violet was speechless. How could they have actually stolen him away the third time?

After much persuasion and persuasion, Violet finally convinced Jinx to temporarily abandon the idea.

"The contents of this notebook are perfect for me. I can tell that the person who wrote this must be a knowledgeable, witty and humorous person."

"How did you figure that out?"

"From the knowledge in the notebook, and that thing underneath."

"Maybe it's an old man."

"Maybe, but I still want to see him."

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

Downtown, abandoned mines, the area controlled by the Grey Sanctuary.

"This thing is really useful!"

Jiang Shuzhou finally regained his laboratory.

"The file is good."

Jess also looked like he was enjoying himself.

After a chaotic scene, Jiang Shuzhou finally transported all the experimental equipment to the lower city and personally secured a suitable location specifically for conducting experiments.

The abandoned mine is where half of the mad scientists' laboratories are located, including Jiang Shuzhou's.

He's not crazy, just a bit wild.

As for Jess, he's in the cave next to Jiang Shuzhou's, currently drawing blueprints and forging iron, planning to make his own weapon.

Jiang Shuzhou sincerely suggested that they first get a hammer, so that it could not only be used for forging iron, but also as a weapon. Wouldn't that fit his nickname of war blacksmith?

Jess dismissed all of this as nonsense.

Using a warhammer to forge iron? I think you have too much strength to use.

Regardless, Jiang Shuzhou's laboratory officially opened.

"No, don't kill me! I still have value, I still have..."

A piece of Greyblood from a rival gang was sent over.

"Relax, there is no pain. You will die a worthwhile death, much more worthwhile than your usual acts of vandalism, looting, and arson."

As Jiang Shuzhou spoke, he ruthlessly injected the gang member with an anesthetic.

He never woke up again.

However, he helped Jiang Shuzhou take his research on gray blood to a new level.

Then came the second, and the third.

One by one, people were sent into the mine and never came back.

Until a week later.

"The Pioneer has already lost dozens of men, and we don't know what he's doing."

"Shh, don't gossip, or you'll be next!"

Two henchmen were escorting today's experimental supplies through the mine.

"roar!"

With a roar, a gray beast rushed out. Strangely, it did not attack the two of them. Instead, it seemed to be avoiding something and fled in a panic.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of gunshots rang out, followed by a whoosh.

A javelin pierced through the gray beast's body.

The gray beast twitched a few times, then lay still; it was dead.

"Bring the person over, and then you can leave."

A cold voice rang out; it was the voice of a pioneer.

"Thank you for your help."

Amidst their profuse thanks, Jiang Shuzhou remained expressionless.

After closing the lab door, Jiang Shuzhou wrote a note in his notebook.

"Subject No. 44, mutation successful. The subject has developed fear, which is the right direction and requires optimization."
