This form of address left Qin Chu completely bewildered.
As the man's smile widened, Qin Chu saw a glint of cold light at the corner of his lips.
Clearly, the vampire hunter being tortured in his castle is not human, but also a vampire.
Before Qin Chu began his violent "parenting," Noah explained in a timely manner: "Sir, you don't need to misunderstand. This vampire hunter was originally a human named K. He was embraced by you and became a low-level vampire when he tried to murder you. Strictly speaking, he is only your servant. To a certain extent, you can even control his behavior."
Qin Chu breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and retorted, "Thank you, but I don't have a son as big as you."
The hunter was taken aback by the retort, then laughed: "Okay, let's put it another way."
He readily changed his tune, saying, "Little bat, you look so hungry, do you need your master to feed you?"
Qin Chu: "..." I think you're the one who needs to get a beating.
Normally, Qin Chu might not care if a vampire prince was called "Little Bat," but now that "Little Bat" specifically refers to himself, Qin Chu was extremely annoyed.
Qin Chu's face was frozen stiff, his stomach was growling with hunger, and he really wanted to "discuss" with this person who the hell was the little bat.
Noah thought Qin Chu was resisting blood-drinking and was very anxious: "Sir, don't feel pressured. This is just a virtual world. Even if you drink blood, it's just a change in data."
The main problem is that if I don't absorb it soon, this body might fall into a deep sleep, which would be no different from being completely ruined.
Qin Chu's brow twitched slightly, and he walked back to the hunter's side.
Seeing this, the servants around slowly withdrew from the room. Except for some vampires with special tastes, they often do not like others to watch them while they are eating, because things that go beyond eating can easily happen.
K remained seated on the ground, watching Qin Chu approach without any surprise.
His smile widened, carrying an indescribable air of amusement and mockery.
After Qin Chu stopped walking, the hunter suddenly raised his wrist.
Despite being in a disadvantaged position, he reached out his hand to the prince standing in front of him as if it were charity.
Qin Chu glanced down at his wrist. Besides the handcuffs and whip marks, there were also some irregular bite marks, as if the wounds had been torn apart by a crazed beast.
Clearly, this elegant prince was not in a good state due to the curse and thirst for blood.
"Do you know?" Hunter K suddenly spoke up.
His ankles were still chained, but his knees were spread apart without a care. His other chained elbow was placed on his knee, and he even casually reached out and ruffled his hair a couple of times.
"Actually, every time I see you looking thirsty for blood, I feel..."
The hunter raised his head, his amber eyes gleaming with mockery: "You so-called prince are more like a pathetic mad dog."
This statement is undoubtedly another provocation.
But Qin Chu didn't get angry or struggle as the hunter had expected; instead, he just gave a very calm "Oh."
Licking his protruding canine teeth, Qin Chu looked down at the hunter sitting on the ground: "I've heard that, to a certain extent, I can manipulate your body?"
K shook his head and smiled, not paying any attention to Qin Chu's words. Instead, he asked him listlessly, resting his chin on his hand, "What? Want to play something else?"
God the hell, let's play something else.
Qin Chu's temples throbbed with veins, and he pointed directly at the door of the room, saying, "No, I just want you to get as far away from me as possible."
The order was so firm that it surprised K. He stood up stiffly and turned passively toward the door.
But the man quickly recovered and his calm and nonchalant expression returned.
While being manipulated to walk out, he didn't forget to turn around and tease Qin Chu: "Alright, then I'll wait until you can't hold back anymore, little bat."
Noah couldn't help but sob, "I don't want to change your body again, Commander! Do you know how difficult it is to find a suitable data body?!"
"Shut up," Qin Chu cursed at him, his expression not looking good.
He didn't want to be starving to death while someone was wailing in his head.
"Listen to me, since you say that blood-drinking is just a change in data, why don't you just tamper with the data and adjust the blood thirst value of this body?"
This was something Qin Chu had already thought of; he had no intention of sucking blood at all.
Upon hearing Qin Chu's words, Noah's crying stopped abruptly.
"I can't believe it!" His voice was tinged with excitement, as if he had just discovered a new world. He couldn't help but exclaim to Qin Chu, "As expected, you humans are all masters at finding loopholes!"
Qin Chu: "..."
That doesn't sound like a compliment at all.
Significantly adjusting body stats is a difficult task, but Noah had already done a lot of work to conceal Qin Chu's presence after he was placed on the data body, so the difference in blood thirst stat wouldn't matter at this moment.
After Noah finished adjusting the situation, Qin Chu finally felt the agonizing hunger in his body subside.
This made him look a little better; otherwise, this extremely subservient state would have made him very unhappy.
Having resolved these issues, Qin Chu finally had the time to ask, "Has the mission for this world been set?"
Noah replied, "The specific direction is still being calculated and compared."
Qin Chu gave a blank "Oh" and said, "It's just that it's not done yet."
Noah, this AI, didn't learn anything else, but by following him to meetings every day, it learned all sorts of rhetoric.
Fortunately, Qin Chu had a deep understanding of Noah's garbage and did not urge him.
Given Qin Chu's military rank, he no longer needed to carry out most missions himself. However, during his time at military academy, Qin Chu gradually came into contact with many missions.
The most important task for a soldier is to obey orders, so Qin Chu never picks and chooses the type of task and always completes it perfectly.
But this time...
He surprisingly said, "If possible, don't bring the children."
Noah remained silent, looking rather sly.
It seems that their experience of fighting with that brat Zhao Yuan in the last world left a very deep impression on their superiors.
After a while, Qin Chu frowned and added another requirement: "It shouldn't be related to feelings either."
This was clearly a reference to Zhou Sisi's questline.
Noah was very pleased: "I'm so happy that you have the self-awareness!"
Qin Chu: "..." Do you have any manners?
My first night as a vampire passed by without any major incidents.
Before dawn, under the watchful eyes of his servants, Qin Chu lay down in the coffin, holding a new red rose.
This experience left Qin Chu with very mixed feelings.
After all, not every living person has the experience of going into a coffin.
Out of human nature, after the servant left, Qin Chu immediately lifted the coffin lid and sat up.
Noah was very dissatisfied with this: "Sir, you haven't had enough rest since leaving the last virtual world. Therefore, sleep is very important for you in this world."
Qin Chu, sitting inside the coffin with a face ashen like a coffin, succinctly refused: "I can't sleep."
Noah shook his head and sighed: "I need to remind you that sleeping in a coffin during the day is also part of the vampire persona."
"Oh." Qin Chu remained expressionless. "Having just become a vampire, I need to adjust to the time difference. Please understand."
Noah: "..." I never thought jet lag could be used like this.
Seeing that Qin Chu had no intention of going to his coffin, Noah pulled out a data sheet in a businesslike manner: "Sir, according to my tests on your physical and emotional state, in a closed and dark environment, your sympathetic nervous system was extremely active, exceeding the range of excitement."
"If I were to give an assessment, I would describe your emotion as mild fear."
Qin Chu raised an eyebrow, didn't reply, and simply got up and stepped out of the coffin.
Noah is still analyzing: "I have your annual psychological test data, and you have mild claustrophobia."
"It was in the past," Qin Chu corrected.
He walked over to a chair and sat down, stopping Noah from speaking: "Alright, I know you want me to rest. I can sleep anywhere, there's no need to choose an unpleasant place."
Noah didn't say anything more.
This state of being out of one's body for too long is very dangerous; Qin Chu just needs to rest.
After nestling in the chair for a while, the night that belonged to the vampires arrived once again.
That night, Qin Chu's castle welcomed a guest.
"Your Highness, Duke Tess has come to visit. Would you like to see him?" the butler reported as he entered.
Noah was worried that Qin Chu might not remember who Duke Tess was, and was about to remind him when he saw Qin Chu standing on the balcony with a monocular telescope. Without turning his head, Qin Chu refused, saying, "I won't see him."
The butler acknowledged the order, bowed, and left.
Noah couldn't help but be amazed by Qin Chu's memory this time.
Qin Chu thought to himself, "This duke is hundreds of years old and still wants to celebrate his birthday, and he was caught cheating but then turned around and blamed his wife."
Qin Chu remembered clearly that someone so old could still be so energetic.
Through the binoculars, Qin Chu could clearly see the people walking into the courtyard.
When Qin Chu's gaze focused on a middle-aged man, Noah spoke up: "Yes, this man with the two small mustaches is Duke Tess."
Qin Chu was somewhat surprised; vampires were generally handsome and young. Given Duke Tess's reputation for causing trouble, he had assumed he would at least be good-looking.
Noah explained to him, "Actually, Duke Tess is quite old, born around the same time as the data body you possess. But only your data body was promoted to prince early on, and even at his age, he remains handsome and is worshipped as a god by the vampires."
Qin Chu listened silently to Noah's rambling for a long time, then suddenly spoke up: "So you can recognize these people's identities."
"You can only view the data after you see it, what's wrong?" Noah asked, puzzled.
Qin Chu chuckled: "Why didn't you remind me when you saw Zhao Yuan?"
This caused him to confront Zhao Yuan directly, asking who he was.
Noah was very aggrieved: "How was I supposed to know that you, sir, wouldn't recognize someone after stealing their electric scooter!"
Qin Chu: "..."
Just as Qin Chu was belatedly realizing how awkward things were, Noah suddenly said, "Sir, the mission for this world has been confirmed!"
"What mission?"
Qin Chu turned and went back to his room, his attitude becoming serious.
Noah stood tall and proud, feeling that he had perfectly fulfilled the conditions Qin Chu had given him: "This mission requires neither taking care of children nor any romantic issues."
