"Hmph~"
Wu You snorted without saying anything. He knew Liu Daimei wasn’t bluffing. The guards at Zhang Residence had been equipped with Wu Xin-branded bullets. If he were hit, even he would be injured. As for Ling Wei, Ryoko, and the others, their pure strength was inferior to his. How could they possibly come here to throw their lives away?
"What about you? Are you joining forces or not?"
Wu You couldn’t be bothered to argue with Liu Daimei any longer. He turned to Huang Feng and Fang Yun, focusing especially on Fang Yun. "Kid, I have a lot of faith in your brains. If you’re willing to cooperate, I can personally give you the First Embrace and turn you into an immortal Werewolf. You won’t even have the weakness of being unable to walk in the light."
As he spoke, Wu You glanced at Liu Daimei. Compared with Werewolves, the vampires of the Underworld world had quite a few weaknesses. They feared sunlight, and even after transforming, their physical attributes were far inferior to those of Werewolves.
It could be said that if two ordinary people underwent the First Embrace, an ordinary Werewolf would have no trouble beating an ordinary vampire.
Of course, every advantage came with a disadvantage. Werewolves’ high combat power came at a price. In Werewolf form, they couldn’t speak, their intelligence declined, and they were easily enraged. They could even fall for some very simple traps. Moreover, transforming meant they could no longer use modern weapons of standard size.
Vampires, on the other hand, changed very little after transforming apart from their fangs, eyes, and claws. Their physical attributes increased, they became more agile, and they could make use of all kinds of high-tech weapons. Their intelligence also received a partial boost.
In addition, older vampires could slowly increase their strength through hibernation. Of course, this ability was only available to vampires of the Third Generation or higher. Vampires also possessed special abilities, such as reading memories through blood.
In the movie, Marcus Corvinus learned the location where the Werewolf Progenitor William Corvinus was imprisoned through the heroine’s blood. Even the heroine herself couldn’t remember that memory, yet it was fully revealed in her blood. It was more useful than a lie detector, making it the best interrogation tool—a remarkably powerful ability.
"Fang Yun~"
Huang Feng was somewhat worried, but he was simply a coward by nature. The moment Wu You looked over, he didn’t even have the courage to meet his eyes.
Fang Yun lowered his head and pondered for a moment before suddenly looking up at Liu Daimei. "Miss Liu, if Huang-ge and I follow you in this world, what conditions can you offer us?"
Fang Yun looked as if he were waiting to be sold to the highest bidder. Wu You froze, and Liu Daimei was also somewhat surprised.
"Uh~"
Liu Daimei was stunned for a moment, then laughed aloud. "You want to pledge yourselves to me? I’m not as generous as Wu You. Becoming vampires is impossible. All I can promise is that I’ll let go of what you planned to do to trick me this morning. Work properly, and I’ll guarantee that you can return safely this time."
"Hmph~"
Wu You snorted and shot Liu Daimei a look. "At least you know your place!" He then looked toward Fang Yun, ready to wait for the expendable pawn in his plan to obediently walk into the pit.
"Thank you, Sister Liu. Huang-ge, you don’t object to following Sister Liu, do you?"
Fang Yun smiled at him without even glancing at Wu You, then patted Huang Feng’s shoulder as he spoke. Wu You was stunned, and Huang Feng was also dazed for a moment. Once he came to his senses, he hurriedly said, "Little Fang, you’re smarter than me. You can make the decision on this."
In Huang Feng’s eyes, Liu Daimei had always been far more reliable than Wu You. If he hadn’t been worried that Fang Yun might object, he would have sided with Liu Daimei at the very beginning.
"You two…"
Wu You was furious. His right hand had already transformed into a wolf claw. He, the ‘First Reincarnator’ of this world, had actually been rejected. Liu Daimei’s attitude had already annoyed him, and now that this had happened, he had lost all face.
"Wu You, that’s enough. Mind your limits."
Liu Daimei took several steps forward, and Huang Feng and Fang Yun followed suit, standing behind her.
"Fine, fine, fine~~"
Wu You gave a cold laugh. "Since you want to play it this way, then we’ll each do our own thing. I’m leaving. Take your time discussing things."
"Hmph~"
Wu You snorted and turned to leave.
"This…"
Fang Yun didn’t react much, but Huang Feng panicked a little. There wasn’t much else to say about him—he was simply prone to cowardice. Seeing that they had offended Wu You, he began to regret it.
"He hasn’t gone far yet. You can still catch up to him."
Liu Daimei said coldly from the side. Huang Feng shuddered, at a loss for what to do. Fang Yun hurriedly grabbed him, then said to Liu Daimei, "Wu You’s words were unpleasant, but Sister Liu, the Sun Country’s strength really is much greater than ours. Will it be all right without Wu You?"
This was what Fang Yun cared about most. He was only a newcomer, and he had encountered no fortuitous opportunities in the Wu Xin: The Monster Killer World. He had no power to protect himself and could only rely on the strong to survive. The reason he hadn’t chosen Wu You was that Wu You was too ruthless.
"You don’t need to worry about that."
Liu Daimei didn’t say much more. "Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for you two to go to the Command Headquarters. Work hard and accomplish something. Especially you, Fang Yun—your explosives are very important.
"By the way, as for bloodlines, I advise you not to rush into it. Otherwise, you won’t even have anywhere to regret it. Werewolves and vampires are too low-level."
After saying this, Liu Daimei turned and left the courtyard.
"Sister Liu, what did she mean by that?"
Fang Yun turned to look at Huang Feng. If Liu Daimei hadn’t brought this up, he really would have considered obtaining a bloodline. After all, it could quickly give him combat power.
According to Huang Feng and several veteran Reincarnators, it was much easier for a Reincarnator to give another Reincarnator the First Embrace than for a Reincarnator to give an ordinary person the First Embrace. The Lord God Space already had sharp-minded people who had noticed this, and bloodline awakenings of this sort had practically become an industry.
Of course, they were generally Werewolves and vampires. These were the only two types with the greatest numbers and the easiest First Embraces.
"I heard a theory from a few friends in the Lord God Space."
Huang Feng said uncertainly, "It seems to be saying that the Werewolf and vampire bloodlines we have access to now are too low-level. They’re basically useless once you reach a high star level.
"Wu You was personally infected by Lucian, the Wolf Lord, while Miss Liu received the First Embrace personally from Amelia, one of the Three Elders of the vampires. They’re both Second Generation (the Reincarnators don’t know who the true First Generation is), which is already considered the highest bloodline level in Samsara.
"Miss Liu said this because she had probably already confirmed that there really was something wrong with her bloodline, so she gave us a kind warning."
"Is that so?"
Fang Yun fell silent. His thoughts were in turmoil. In the Wu Xin: The Monster Killer World, he had felt his own powerlessness. His professional knowledge could help him make bombs, but explosives were basically useless against powerhouses of Liu Daimei and Wu You’s level.
First Star Level was a broad concept. It included ordinary people who couldn’t even truss a chicken, as well as ordinary experts who had trained their bodies to their peak. But beginning at Second Star Level, one could no longer be considered a normal human. Under normal circumstances, ordinary modern weapons couldn’t hit them if they were prepared.
