Male Succubus Apocalypse

When Xu Heng left the beaker still to produce alum precipitation, Aaron could not help but exclaimed: "It's such a convenient process. It's a pity that we alchemists have never discovered it! We treat this alum as a mineral that can only be mined!"

Fortunately for Xu Heng, the two old men were not perverts, but scholars, and they didn't care at all about his attire.

The dwarf was not with them because Aaron and Vivian had reached some kind of buyout agreement.

"Okay, the technology is handed over to you, so let's talk about the profit!" Vivian put her hands on her hips, as if she was the master of the technology, and said to Aaron arrogantly. "Now the Western Empire has discovered a lot of desert mineral deposits. Selling them to them will make a lot of money!"

"Okay, okay." Aaron seemed to be still immersed in the experiment. He stared at the beaker for a while before turning around and saying, "You provide the technology, but it's simple. The subsequent production and operation will all need our union to invent and handle. So, you three, we seven, how about that?"

"The three of us? Father Aaron, you have to know that without my servants, you wouldn't make a penny! At least I have to get 50%!"

"Fifty percent? Young lady, this is impossible! You just sit there and get the harvest, but we have to pay extra costs! Impossible! I'll give you 3.5! No more!"

Looking at the old man and the young boy, their faces red with anger as they argued over the division of interests, Xu Heng knew that the opportunity had come to further gain more value for his master.

"What if I have other processes to further purify the water?" Xu Heng interrupted without caring about being polite.

At this moment, the white space suddenly became silent.

The two "businessmen" turned to look at Xu Heng as if they had discovered a hen that laid golden eggs.

"Mr. Aaron, before I provide you with the technology, I hope we can further discuss the issue of profit sharing." Xu Heng smiled, greeted Vivian, and said.

Vivian reacted quickly, and she jumped to stand next to Xu Heng, straightened her back, and said to Aaron in a two-on-one confrontation: "Yes, let's discuss the profit first!"

The situation reversed. Aaron raised his glasses, squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Heng deeply. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Okay, but I hope you can get value for money. So, how much share do you want?"

At this time, Xu Heng didn't dare to interrupt and waited for Vivian to make a decision.

"Sixty percent! One skill gets thirty percent! Two skills get sixty percent! That's reasonable, right?" Vivian said confidently, sipped her lips.

Another round of verbal battle followed.

In the end, it was settled at 50%.

Vivian didn't expect this man, who was famous first as a businessman and then as a scholar, to be very open.

Being able to get 50% is already a huge profit, and the most crucial thing is Xu Heng's tactic of talking first and giving later.

Some people may wonder why you don’t just take the technology and do it yourself?

Because as a wizard, Vivian simply cannot afford to give up her research on magic to do business, and start from scratch. The realization will be too slow, and she will encounter various problems. Operations require more brains.

Since the deal was done, Xu Heng did not hide anything and immediately showed Aaron how to prepare chlorine gas using hydrochloric acid and manganese ore, and how to use chlorine gas and lime to produce calcium chlorate (one of the main ingredients of bleaching powder).

"This thing can disinfect and sterilize. If mixed with another substance that you should be able to prepare and added to the water, it can produce a good purification effect. As for the ratio, you need to study it yourself." Xu Heng said easily, in sharp contrast to the dumbfounded old pedant in front of him.

"Prepare... prepare what to prepare?" Aaron was a little panicked. One reason was that he was afraid of being threatened with profit sharing, and the other was that he had an inexplicable fear about the technology that this person possessed.

"Do you know what electrolysis is?"

……

Because of the existence of magic in this world, the research on electricity seems to be very in-depth. The method proposed by Xu Heng of electrolyzing salt water to obtain sodium hydroxide and using chlorine gas to react to produce calcium hypochlorite is well understood.

In order to verify that Xu Heng's technology was indeed effective, Aaron hurried back.

This also helped Vivian to further secure resources beyond her share of the profits, which made her very happy.

Before leaving, Aaron asked Xu Heng. Yes, he asked Xu Heng directly, ignoring Vivian: "Are you interested in joining our union? We can provide you with generous rewards and excellent research conditions!"

Asking this question in Vivian's Mage Tower is like poaching soldiers from a general. Aaron is naturally fearless because of his status, and once Xu Heng agrees, he will probably use certain means to make Xu Heng leave the Mage Tower, even if he does not terminate the master-servant contract.

Vivian, who was still happy next to him, suddenly turned dark, pouted her lips and looked puffy, but she didn't say anything immediately.

But Xu Heng just answered without thinking: "Sorry, thank you for your kindness, but research is not what I expect in the future. I am very satisfied with my current life."

In secret, Vivian also cast a spell of truth, and when she finally got the result that what Xu Heng said was true, she and Aaron, who was expecting an answer, showed an expression that was so complicated that it was difficult to discern.

The former may be subtle emotions such as confusion and regret, while the latter is much more complicated when you think about it.

"Little Vivian, you have a very loyal and valuable servant!" Aaron smiled helplessly, nodded, and said to Vivian.

Of course Xu Heng did not lie. He was not a scientist. He just knew a few skills from his previous life. He did not understand this world and his strength was weak. It would be better for him to cling to Vivian.

Besides, life now is hundreds of times better than living in fear in the nest.

After saying that, Aaron went out, and then the dwarf came in.

Bo Han walked up to Xu Heng, holding a stack of blueprints, but did not get straight to the point immediately. Instead, he asked in confusion: "Hey, Vivian, why is your face so red? Did Aaron quarrel with you so urgently?"

"...Uh...Don't worry about it! Just ask whatever you want to ask!" Vivian behind Xu Heng seemed to be thinking about something. She only came back to her senses after being asked by Bohan, and said in a panic.

"Hehe." The old dwarf laughed, and then looked seriously at Xu Heng who had already knelt down and looked at him. "Hello, in our dwarf country, the most respected people are craftsmen. Your design and ideas are so amazing. Please allow me to pay you my respects as a dwarf!"

Afterwards, Bohan conjured up a mini hammer with golden patterns out of thin air and handed it to Xu Heng. This was a technology unique to the other world, a space ring, a classic product of magical technology that combined magic and machinery.

Xu Heng also took the small hammer very seriously. Although he didn't know what it was, according to the novels he read in his previous life, it must be a token of privilege that could be worn when entering someone else's territory.

In the following discussion, Xu Heng was at a disadvantage, because he only came up with ideas based on what he had seen and heard in his previous life. He was unable to realize these instruments and explain the principles, and could only make excuses for many of them.

For example, he said about the principle of drying clothes in a washing machine: "You see, when wet clothes are swung, water comes out, which proves that there is a force in circular motion. So if we make a device that can continuously generate this force, we can dry clothes."

But what Xu Heng didn't know was that the physics of this world was not as advanced as he imagined. The fusion of magic and mechanics could often avoid the exploration of small details.

If science is a "microscope" that people used to observe the world in previous lives, then in this world, magic is another "microscope".

So even though what Xu Heng said was confusing, the dwarf Bohan didn't think there was anything wrong.

The craftsmen in the other world are actually only inclined to assembly and design, and they are often not involved in the construction of magic and other steps.

After a discussion in which Xu Heng himself had no idea what was going on, Bohan finally decided on four designs that could go deep and generate value.

They are "needle", "mortise and tenon structure", "glider" and "hot air balloon" respectively.

First of all, syringes. The medical technology tree in the other world is very crooked, because most of the treatments are through potions and the priest's magic. The potion enters the stomach and intestines and is reabsorbed relatively slowly, and many times on the battlefield it is simply too late. Moreover, magic is not popular and the cost is high.

The needle syringe is a convenient and fast auxiliary device that makes the medicine effective.

This is not difficult to produce, but the idea is like the ocean behind the mountain. Many people cannot climb over the mountain and have no idea that there is such a huge ocean behind it.

Then the next thing is the "mortise and tenon structure" that almost gave our dwarf Berhan an irreplaceable impact.

"It's a genius to create a connection through splicing without a single nail or needle! If we can fully research it and apply it to the shipbuilding and construction industries, it will be an unparalleled innovation!" Bo Han held Xu Heng's hand tightly, his eyes sparkling as he said, "You will be recorded in the epics of the continent!"

In fact, this is part of the traditional culture of the motherland in the previous life. Xu Heng has played with many building blocks and just brought it up with the idea of ​​giving it a try. He didn't expect it to be so highly praised.

As for hot air balloons and gliders, they are very advantageous machines when used in warfare.

In previous battles, everyone only thought about enslaving monsters or using magic to launch aerial attacks. They had thought about using machinery to drive flight, but since there were many reference objects for flying in this world, and in fact, at a certain stage, flying didn't matter whether one could fly or not, so under the pressure of cost and demand, this world did not have a very good flight design.

But Xu Heng's drawings can be well extended.

"Genius! You are simply the most talented genius I have ever seen!" Bohan exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

"No, no, I'm stupid. I just have inspiration but I can't take action. Compared with you practical people, I'm insignificant!" Xu Heng was very humble.

He couldn't be proud of himself because these were not his original creations at all. Xu Heng was still very self-aware.

Bohan was moved by these truthful words. It is really admirable that he is so talented and yet so humble!

"Then the matter of making money..." Vivian spoke up. She was most concerned about the issue of money.

"Money? Can money measure these things? This is a great invention that can change the whole world! Something that can change the course of continental history!" Bohan suddenly became excited and shouted loudly.

Now a different idea suddenly came to the old dwarf's mind, that is to find a way to take Xu Heng away and hide him in the Dwarf Kingdom. It would be a waste of such a talent to have him become someone else's slave!

"Yes, Mr. Bohan, but we do need money. Craftsmen can create better only if they have resources, and they can be productive only if they have money, right? I can provide these for you because of my master's needs." Xu Heng leaned forward slightly and spoke to the old dwarf in a gentle and requesting gesture.

This time, as if a splash of cold water was poured on his head, Bohan's smile froze a little. He looked at Xu Heng and said with some dissatisfaction: "Master Xu Heng, although it is a bit offensive, are you willing to be a servant without freedom? If you are forced..."

Before Bo Han could finish, Xu Heng made a gesture to silence him and interrupted him, saying, "I volunteered. My master is very kind to me. In fact, to some extent, she is my savior. I hope and am willing to continue serving her."

The word loyalty was almost written on Xu Heng's face.

Slavish? No, for Xu Heng, slacking off is actually better than becoming famous in another world, not to mention that he may not be able to do great things.

He was tired. The forty years in the lair and the youth that was sealed away in his previous life made him afraid of too much change. Having a basic anchor point was enough. Struggle? Fight? Long Aotian?

No, it’s better to live a peaceful life. What’s more, if he can really terminate the contract now, he might create an enemy for himself.

These scholars do not have high emotional intelligence. They only focus on invention and have their own protection team for a long time. They have developed the habit of being fearless. But Xu Heng is different.

He has been in danger for forty years and this cannot be easily changed.

"Oh, I understand. How about this, I will give you 60% of my shares in all chambers of commerce. If you need anything more, just tell me!" Bo Han sighed and looked at Xu Heng with some sadness, as if he was looking at a bird in a cage.

Weiwei was surprised: 60% of the shares! This is 60% of the shares of the legendary craftsman Bohan!

"In fact, the outside world has always determined my value based on my ability to create combat artifacts, but I have always longed to invent some basic technology and items that can truly change the world. Maybe I am too persistent? I have not really devoted myself to life to find inspiration. You really taught me a good lesson." Before leaving, Bohan said to Xu Heng reluctantly, with a respectful attitude, just like a student treating a teacher.

After the guests left, Xu Heng consciously planned to ask Slime to take him to clean up the dishes. He did not make any move to take credit, as if everything that had just happened was as normal as the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

Vivian stood there for a long time, like a piece of wood, but the storm in her heart had been gathering for a long time.

What he said was actually true! Why? Am I so lucky? To have a servant who can rival the best craftsmen and chefs? And he's so loyal. What should I do?

For a moment, Vivian didn't know what to do, so she subconsciously made an action to pull the skirt of Xu Heng who was about to leave.

"Wow!" Xu Heng's body trembled, and he slapped Vivian's hand away like a frightened cat, and quickly stepped back to defend himself.

This action made Xu Heng and Vivian look at each other awkwardly.

Oops! My body has muscle memory!

Xu Heng was shocked.

In the nest, it is very dangerous to be touched by others. In his previous life, Xu Heng did not like physical contact. In this life, he was repeatedly teased by the succubus, and this mentality reached its peak.

He could endure some resistance when facing a powerful person, but he was too relaxed in the Mage Tower and would react immediately when provoked.

What to do? What to do? What to do!

Xu Heng began to feel dizzy.

But after being nervous for a while, Vivian only said lightly, "It's okay, go do your own thing. You completed the task very well. You can make a request to me, including terminating the contract. Come to me whenever you want to make a request."
