21st Century Necromancer

Chapter 1008: Trivial Matters



Chen Yu agreed to the conditions set by the Americans, exchanging his full set of Dragon Blood Potion and training system for Dragon-descent professions in return for their information on the Ancient Inca City of Gold and assistance in its excavation.

However, he did not intend to explore the City of Gold immediately, having just amassed quite a treasure trove from the Garden of Osiris, which still needed to be dealt with. His thoughts were not focused on exploring the City of Gold.

Moreover, as the end of the year approached, the Nobel Prize selection process officially began. Even though it was still in the nomination stage, both the Japanese Government and the American and Russian Governments had previously promised to promote Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi for the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

This matter did not require Chen Yu to do anything personally, but the interviews with the media, participation in relevant academic conferences, and giving speeches, though seemingly unnecessary, were essential tasks.

What amused Chen Yu the most was that Hiromi Jounouchi could use maternity leave as an excuse to evade these obligations, yet Chen Yu had to accept various academic conference invitations and attend those meetings in which he had no interest.

Fortunately, Chen Yu was a Necromancer, and these affairs did not need his personal involvement. With some effort, he crafted a soul retaining his memories as a doctor and infused it into a specially created replica. Thus, a tool-person to substitute for him was complete.

Chen Yu looked at the completed replica with deep satisfaction. This tool-person fully possessed his memories, perfectly handling work meetings and those tedious tasks, allowing him to focus his energy on the preparation of Dragonized Mages and the manufacture of Mechanical Mages during this period.

Thanks to previous experience with Dragonized Transformed Humans, the preparation of Dragonized Mages progressed smoothly after commissioning a Metal Research Institute to develop alloy formulas. Most organ and gland adjustments have been completed. Just waiting for the metal alloy formula from the institute, Chen Yu could finalize the preparation of Dragonized Mages.

The progress of Mechanical Mages was even faster than that of Dragonized Mages, as mechanical structures were simpler than human organs. The soul cores and main components for the first batch of Mechanical Mages had been produced, and they were currently undergoing adaptive training with bodies forged from ordinary Magic Alloy, enabling data collection for further adjustments.

Although Mechanical Mages also awaited the new alloy formula from the Metal Research Institute, for mere body fine-tuning, the universal alloy formulas from the Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium sufficed.

Regarding the design of the shell, Chen Yu's previous self-created designs were somewhat ugly, yet technical verification units did not require aesthetic appeal, did they?

Nonetheless, Chen Yu applied some improvements and disguise on several designs with feminine appearances previously brought by Hattori Heita, placing them in his Mage Tower as decorations.

While Chen Yu was engrossed in these endeavors, Hiromi Jounouchi was not idle despite taking care of her daughter.

Upon returning to Tokyo, Inomata Naoki officially embarked on his journey along the Transcendent path, with Hiromi Jounouchi responsible for his training.

However, the sight of Hiromi Jounouchi correcting Inomata Naoki's training moves, holding Little Yixi in one hand and a pointer in the other, always seemed somewhat discordant.

Yet, despite any incongruity, it could not conceal the fact that Hiromi Jounouchi was now a Demigod Level existence, possessing knowledge and insight from the Crimson Hymn and Dragon Clan heritage, making her personal instruction something countless people dreamed of.

Inomata Naoki was aware of this, merely looking at the envious, almost predatory gaze of the long-haired girl wielding a katana, he knew how rare and valuable Hiromi Jounouchi's personal instruction was.

Therefore, even though Hiromi Jounouchi's training exhausted him to the point of near collapse, fully exploiting every ounce of his physical potential, leading him to constantly yearn for reprieve, he persevered regardless.

Before commencing his training, Hiromi Jounouchi briefly introduced Inomata Naoki to the Supernatural World, covering topics like power classifications and the current state of extraordinary professions.

Naturally, Inomata Naoki inquired about the combat levels of Hiromi Jounouchi and Chen Yu, the couple.

The answer left Inomata Naoki in shock, further realizing how exceptional it was for him to receive personal instruction from Hiromi Jounouchi.

"Tighten your muscles, Mr. Naoki! You lack exercise! Previously, Mr. Chen Yu mentioned you operated a farm in your hometown, but your physique doesn't reflect that at all!" Hiromi Jounouchi tapped Naoki's loose muscles again, reminding him to tense his muscles while teasing him with words to provoke him.

But this was not due to Hiromi Jounouchi's peculiar interests or enjoyment of torment; rather, warrior training inherently demanded the forging of formidable will, unlike mage training, which required cultivating extensive knowledge.

Besides physical extreme exertion, such verbal provocation was a routine method for honing one's will.

The technique may be old, but effectiveness mattered; being addressed by Hiromi Jounouchi, holding the curious Little Yixi whose gaze bore into Inomata Naoki, created an embarrassment motivating him to conclude the training as promptly as possible.

Nonetheless, as training showed no signs of cessation, the dual toll on his mind and body was indeed torturous, driving Inomata Naoki to the brink of madness.

Watching Inomata Naoki endure this ordeal under Hiromi Jounouchi's guidance, Kojo Kyoko looked on in utter envy.

Unlike the novice Inomata Naoki, Kojo Kyoko knew the rarity of receiving personal guidance from a Demigod. Moreover, each time Hiromi Jounouchi corrected Inomata Naoki's movements, the pointer, while striking his body, skillfully untangled and repositioned the muscle knots and misalignments caused by poor exertion habits.

Such correction demanded significantly high expertise from the executor, necessitating profound anatomical knowledge of all muscle and skeletal structures and exertion methods, alongside exceptional command over oneself to avoid inflicting undue harm during adjustments.

Obtaining such meticulous guidance from a Demigod made Kojo Kyoko's envy and jealousy understandable.

Yet as Kojo Kyoko harbored envy over Inomata Naoki's indulgence in Hiromi Jounouchi's guidance, the phone placed beside Hiromi Jounouchi rang suddenly.

Kojo Kyoko swiftly handed the phone to Hiromi Jounouchi.

"Honey, are you interested in a skiing trip to Russia?"
