The Villainous Young Master Just Wants to Live a Laid-Back Life

Chapter 19: Dark Demon Tries to Bring Joy to Others

9:30 PM.

Dark left the library and sat in the common room for a little while.

Then he returned to his dorm, took a bath, and dozed off for a bit.

After getting out, he drank a glass of milk and went to sleep.

There was no other way, the life of a top student was just this simple and regular.

Before this, Dark had never imagined that he could develop such good habits—indeed, people grow step by step under pressure!

For healthy physical development, Dark tried to ensure eight hours of sleep a day.

Which is commonly known as "early to bed and early to rise."

He had been frequently wondering recently, if he really succeeded in removing the Demon God's bloodline, would he return to his original lifestyle?

The answer was uncertain.

But he estimated it wouldn't change too much.

Habit formation has many factors, but once successfully formed, maintaining it becomes relatively easy.

Dark gradually felt that this kind of life was not bad, except for the constraints, which caused a bit of psychological pressure.

And what he wanted to do now was to remove this pressure.

…

6:00 AM, wake up.

Dark arrived at the common room, picked up a copy of the Sage Daily issued by the kingdom, and was about to enjoy the breakfast brought to him by the Lesser Demon Beast while reading the newspaper, when he unexpectedly heard rustling footsteps from the stairwell.

In the past, when he read books and newspapers at this time, he would rarely encounter anyone.

Enjoying the spacious common room all to himself had gradually become a pleasure.

He didn't expect today to be different.

Two first-year students, still squinting, walked out of the stairwell. Seeing them take off their school uniforms and put on new clothes that's right, they must be planning to go to Traveler Street early to ride the waves!

After all, it was the first weekend Traveler Street was open, Dark understood.

He didn't look at the two classmates again, but refocused his gaze on the newspaper, spoon in hand, continuing to stir the milk with sugar.

"Dark, good morning."

"Morning, Dark."

"Good morning, Röntgen, Sievert."

They exchanged good mornings and then went their separate ways.

Röntgen and Sievert went out of the tower and then looked at each other, whispering quietly.

Röntgen sighed, "So Dark gets up this early?"

Sievert: "No wonder he's always ahead of us in his studies, diligence rewards hard work, the saying is true."

Röntgen: "Maybe we should be more diligent too?"

Sievert: "Yeah, maybe."

Röntgen: "I really didn't expect that Dark Demon, the real person, would be like this... I feel like I could be friends with him."

Sievert: "A bit difficult, right? He looks very kind, but doesn't seem to interact much with people?"

Röntgen: "Ah! Never mind! Let's have enough fun these two days first! We'll start working hard from next Monday!"

Sievert: "Let's do it!"

…

The figures of the two gradually faded into the distance.

…

The Lesser Demon Beast flapped its wings and flew back, "giggling" as it relayed the conversation between Röntgen and Sievert.

Dark shook his head with a wry smile, another classic "I'll work hard tomorrow"?

Always leaving the thorny things for tomorrow, aren't they afraid of never taking this step?

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, how many tomorrows are there?

But then he thought again.

If there was no threat of the Demon God's bloodline, perhaps the person saying "I'll work hard tomorrow" would become himself.

Even, he might become even more depraved!

"Indeed, everything has its good and bad sides."

Dark sipped his milk, very sweet.

…

Professor Kazell, the professor of Demonology, was a very amiable old man.

It was said that he existed in Merlin's era and was one of the few surviving alchemy masters.

Because of his broad knowledge and eloquence, Professor Kazell's class was very interesting, simply crushing the two little fairy professors.

Due to his goblin bloodline, Professor Kazell's height was only 1.43 meters, taller than pure-blooded goblins, but shorter than normal people.

But no one would discriminate against him because of this.

In fact, among all the teaching professors, he was the most popular if only Demonology could be a little simpler!

When Dark found Professor Kazell, he was tinkering with something incomprehensible in the laboratory.

"Dark? What brings you here?" Kazell noticed him first.

Dark asked curiously, "Professor, what experiment are you doing?"

Professor Kazell smiled triumphantly, vigorously stirring the large bucket of pumpkin sauce in front of him, "I'm preparing to make [Jack-o'-Lanterns]!"

Dark only thought for a moment before realizing, and then exclaimed in surprise: "No way, Professor, Halloween is still a whole month away!"

"Everything in advance, that's my life motto." Professor Kazell laughed.

…

Dark easily got the key to the laboratory next door from Professor Kazell.

It must be because he usually behaved too well, becoming even more of a model student than Emma, all the professors had a good impression of him.

This time, when he proposed "practicing the production of emotion cards," Professor Kazell lent him the key without any suspicion, and even suggested that he would personally come to guide him!

Dark certainly didn't want him to come and guide, so he declined on the grounds that "Professor is busy."

Arriving at the laboratory next door.

Dark locked the door and opened the experiment cabinet.

Sure enough, it was filled with various materials.

Although they were all basic materials, the production of emotion cards did not require anything too high-end.

He carefully counted and found that everything he needed was there, so he took a partitioned tray from the1 side and took some of the required materials from the experiment cabinet, placing them one by one into the compartments of the partitioned tray.

Next, it was time to try the first production of [Refined Emotion Cards] according to the textbook!

Dark opened the textbook to the page describing the production method, placed it on the table, and pressed it down with a small object.

Then he began to prepare the potion!

The [Voice of Joy] potion, which can make people laugh happily after drinking it.

This potion cannot truly make people happy, but it can replace "happy emotions" and be used as an "ink."

If you think more about happy things while using it to make emotion cards, it will enhance the effect.

Mage masters have always believed that emotions can be spread through magic.

That is, without using a magic brain dropper to absorb emotions and inject them, but simply using the "Voice of Joy" potion as a substitute, applying it to the semi-finished blank magic cards, and then refining them, you can create magic cards with happy emotions!

Originally, the simple method of making emotion cards used the "Voice of Joy" potion.

Dark had just omitted the potion and directly replaced it with [Arrogance].

But since he was first conducting a real experiment with [Refined Emotion Cards], it was necessary to start from the preparation of the potion.

These were all things that had been learned2 and practiced in potion class!

Dark spent half an hour concocting a light green potion that was exactly the same as in the textbook, and then poured it into an "ink bottle."

Afterwards, he used a magic pen to absorb the "ink" and completely coated the card face of a blank magic card with a faint green color.

Green made people feel pleasant, and Dark is mood was not bad.

After that, various materials were boiled into a paste, coated on the surface of the magic card, and a transparent film could be formed after natural drying or hot air drying.

Then, in order, the No. 7 refinement array was first drawn on the transparent film to perform preliminary refinement, so that the "Voice of Joy" potion and the magic card were initially fused.

Then, the No. 18 refinement array was drawn on the back to form a frame and lock the energy in the magic card.

After that, the No. 21, No. 33, and No. 34 refinement array were refined simultaneously to form an energy loop, so that the magic card could autonomously recover after magic power loss.

Finally, No. 13 refinement and No. 9 amplification!

The whole process was quite complicated, and there had to be some overlap between each refinement array.

It was necessary to ensure the correct operation of each refinement array when activated, and at the same time, not to interfere with the effects of other refinement arrays.

Although Dark had practiced many times in the library last night, he still failed in his first official production!

He was not discouraged and succeeded in his second production!

…

"Oh, my goodness. I thought you were making simple emotion cards!"

Professor Kazell pushed the door open in surprise, the door lock was like nothing in his hands.

His face was still smeared with pumpkin sauce.
