Horseshoe Island.

Noel's Alchemy Workshop.

Bai Pu met Noel.

Now that Prime Minister Oxensterna has declared a full blockade of Stockholm, the Blood Ring Fleet is patrolling the Eastern Baltic Sea, rigorously inspecting all passing ships!

Leaving is out of the question. Especially with the princess's lead coffin, the target is too conspicuous.

Moreover, because the princess is alive, she cannot be placed in storage space!

Bai Pu had foreseen this, and he calmly rested here.

During this time, Crazy Zen had contacted Bai Pu, inquiring about the progress of his class change task, and Bai Pu truthfully reported everything.

Now the Blood Ring Fleet is frantically searching for his whereabouts, but fortunately, the underground workshop is quite concealed, and the eastern waters of Stockholm have a total of 24,000 islands!

Under the command of Prime Minister Oxensterna, the Blood Ring Fleet has already located Mist Island. But finding them on Horseshoe Island is not something that can be done quickly—especially since Bai Pu had Yingwa scuttle the warship, leaving no possible traces.

...

After resting for a while, Bai Pu met an important person: Qin.

Qin's appearance allowed Bai Pu to breathe a sigh of relief.

He had previously sent the coordinates of Horseshoe Island to Qin, and Bai Pu knew Qin would overcome all obstacles to arrive as promised.

But it was only upon actually seeing Qin that Bai Pu could truly relax. You see, the only person who had conducted in-depth research with the existing two samples—the Blood Mist Butcher and the Crimson Wings—was Qin.

Even though now there were two added alchemy masters, Harvey and Noel, Bai Pu exceeded the expectations for the third option of his class change task, but without Qin, the two hastily joined alchemy masters would contribute less than 10%—and that's combined for both of them!

Now with Qin leading, any one of the two alchemy masters could contribute 10% in completion, and that was the difference.

Qin saw the lead coffin, opened it to confirm, and when seeing the girl sleeping inside, tears immediately flowed down.

Due to the influence of the Flesh and Blood Plague, Qin contained his emotions and quickly covered the lead coffin.

"Dior, there are already two corpses of the First Generation Mutant. On the battlefield, I also specifically asked the Duke to collect the corpse of a Blood Ring General, finally gathering three samples."

Qin, aware that crying just now somewhat disrupted the mood, changed the topic and said with a smile, "Well, is it worth rewarding a kiss, right?"

Truly, Qin has reached the "Adoration" level of Affection, always thinking about Bai Pu and even helped with part of Bai Pu's class change task!

Of course, if Bai Pu were to use her contribution, it would likely lower the evaluation of his class change task.

Also, a single Blood Ring General's corpse is not enough to provide 10% completion.

Bai Pu sighed, neither playing coy nor taking credit, and directly took out the corpse of Schroeder the Scholar from the storage space.

"Good heavens, such strong fluctuations of the Flesh and Blood Plague, did you go to Bergen and kill the Duke?" Qin was startled.

"I can't use the Clone Technique," Bai Pu shook his head. "Look closely, you should recognize him."

Schroeder's corpse had mutated, but fortunately, the change in his face was minor. Combined with his tattered hunter's clothing, Qin finally confirmed it.

"That's... Gustav's mentor, Schroeder the Scholar!"

Qin exclaimed, "Dior, you actually killed him?"

"I am ashamed, I did not kill him head-on with brute force but with the help of the Princess," Bai Pu briefly explained the battle process.

"So that's it. However, you've done quite well," Qin could imagine the brutal battle Bai Pu went through, where he withstood the intense bombardment of Schroeder's Blood Magic with his own life force!

"Can this corpse substitute for the Duke of Bergen's sample?" Bai Pu asked his most pressing question.

"In terms of sample quality, there is no problem at all," Qin said, "After all, Schroeder and the Duke of Bergen are of the same level of mutant. But..."

"But what?" Bai Pu feared such twists.

"But Schroeder went through the control of the Blood Ring Curse Seal, which makes him lesser compared to a wild specimen," Qin laughed, "Of course, you don't have to worry. With Mr. Harvey and Master Noel, along with me, the intelligence of the three of us is enough to close the gap in this sample."

After a pause, Qin asked, "Dior, are you sure you want to conduct the heart transplant surgery here? The surgery will last one to two hours, and as the chief surgeon, I cannot be disturbed by external factors, or it will affect the success rate of the transplant."

"I am sure. Now all the factors have aligned, and we can no longer delay," Bai Pu understood Qin's concerns. "Now that the rear of the Blood Ring is fully mobilized and the fleet has blocked the sea routes, we have no way to return and slowly conduct the transplant."

After the heart transplant, Princess Christina will no longer be the Mother of the Plague.

After Bai Pu changes classes, his power will undoubtedly increase substantially, and as the owner of the Primordial Heart, he will even exert suppression and control over Blood Ring Soldiers in terms of ranks!

Qin was also decisive. After confirming Bai Pu's thoughts, he began the heart transplant surgery with Noel and Harvey.

The heart transplant surgery needed to open Bai Pu's chest cavity, during which he could not move and needed to remain in a static state.

After consulting Bai Pu's opinion, Qin decided on a semi-anesthetic mode. After drinking a bowl of alchemy potion, Bai Pu lost sensation from the neck down, though his hands and feet could still move.

Beep beep, the communicator, obtained from Crazy Zen, rang from Bai Pu's storage space.

Bai Pu took out the communicator.

He looked at the communicator, hesitating for a moment before pressing the talk button.

After a hiss of static, Crazy Zen's voice came:

"Gangxin, your class change task progress should be complete, right?"

"Yes." On this point, Bai Pu had nothing to hide.

"Are you doing the final step of the class change task?" Crazy Zen asked, "Is it the heart transplant?"

It was not surprising that Crazy Zen guessed the last step was the heart transplant. After all, Bai Pu had been open about acquiring the Primordial Heart Tissue from the Demon Abyss and recently obtaining another heart tissue from the Royal Alchemy Academy.

"Yes," Bai Pu replied.

"Be careful, it seems the Blood Ring Fleet has found your coordinates and is moving toward you. It seems there's some sort of tracking alchemy artifact hidden inside the princess's lead coffin,"

Crazy Zen expressed concern, "I'll help you complete the final step, where are you?"
