As A Vampire, I Am No Longer A Human Being.

(You can skip this chapter, which mainly introduces some settings of the vampire clan)

Vampires are a race that pays great attention to blood.

They are afraid of sunlight and feed on blood.

Relying on the toxins hidden in the poison sacs and transmitted through the teeth, it assimilates others into its own race.

According to myths and legends, the earliest vampire probably appeared more than two thousand years ago.

Of course, these materials are generally viewed as fairy tales and appear mostly in novels, movies, and TV dramas. No one really believes that vampires exist in the real world.

In mythology, the weaknesses of vampires are mostly fear of sunlight, fear of silverware, and aversion to garlic.

However, since I have never heard of anyone actually seeing a vampire, I cannot confirm whether these weaknesses are correct.

Of course, generally no one doubts whether these are true.

Seven years ago, Lu Yan didn't care much about vampires. He only saw them in TV series and movies and didn't think about them carefully.

But when he turns into a vampire by fate, he has to pay attention to this information.

After all, the vampire's weakness has become his weakness.

He naturally has to pay more attention to his 'weaknesses'.

Therefore, after the college entrance examination, he did not hesitate to choose biology-related majors.

He has been studying vampires since his freshman year. Well, just study yourself.

He is also a ruthless person.

Even after graduating from senior year, he did not stop, but chose to continue his studies and get admitted to graduate school.

In the past five years, he has studied many unknown topics, the kind that would make a normal person want to send him to a mental hospital.

"How harmful silverware is to vampires", "Why vampires are afraid of silverware", "Why vampires are afraid of sunlight", "Why can vampires move freely in the moonlight?" 》

"The Necessity for Vampires to Suck Blood", "Changes in Vampire Digestive System", "Can Vampires Eat Normal Food", "Components of Vampire Transformation Toxins"...

Regarding the topic of vampires, Lu Yan has studied various topics, but due to lack of ability, he has not been able to obtain satisfactory answers to many topics.

For creatures like vampires, there was still a large fog blocking Lu Yan's eyes.

However, after five years of busy work, I have achieved nothing.

According to Lu Yan’s research findings over such a long period of time.

The reason why silverware can hurt vampires is because silver is like a poison to vampires. The weaker the vampire, the lower the resistance to poison, and the greater the damage it will suffer.

It is somewhat similar to heavy metal poisoning. Ordinary people will have problems if they consume a certain amount of silver, but vampires can absorb even less, which is also affected by blood concentration.

How did you come to the conclusion? Of course he was experimenting on himself and Lu Man.

When the silver knife cut their skin, Lu Yan's stomach hurt for half an hour, and Lu Man's stomach hurt for more than an hour.

The degree of pain is not very severe and is within the acceptable range.

According to Lu Man, it was not as painful as when she came to visit her aunt before.

The difference in silver tolerance between the two people is also one of Lu Yan's research topics. Unfortunately, there are too few subjects for research. Otherwise, Lu Yan would make a list to clarify the vampire tolerance.

In addition, Lu Yan found that his digestive system also had obvious changes.

By sucking blood, he can get most of the nutrients his body needs, so in theory, he only needs to suck blood every day to survive.

In addition to blood, digestion of normal food is much slower than that of ordinary people.

For example: It takes an ordinary person about seven hours to eat the most difficult-to-digest meat, but it takes Lu Yan nearly nine hours and Lu Man more than eleven hours.

The nutrients obtained from food also decreased, and a lot of them were excreted from the body. Don't ask Lu Yan how he judged it. The process was too disgusting, so it was better not to talk about it.

When he first became a vampire, in order to resist his vampire nature, Lu Yan was forced to live on normal food for a period of time.

But even if the frequency of eating changes from four meals a day to two meals a day.

His body was still getting worse day by day, and only then did Lu Yan realize the importance of blood to a vampire.

Not to mention Lu Man. When he first became a vampire, he could stay full for the whole day by eating just one meal a day.

Let’s talk about the fact that vampires are afraid of sunlight.

Lu Yan himself was able to move freely in the sun, but psychologically, Lu Yan was disgusted. When exposed to the sun, he felt as if all the cells in his body were resisting.

Sunlight is as harmful to vampires as lasers are to humans.

Like Lu Man, as soon as he is exposed to the sun, he will suffer a kind of chronic damage. The skin exposed to the sun for a long time will be like a sunburn.

However, Lu Yan did not investigate the specific reason.

He once suspected that some rays in sunlight might be harmful to vampires, just like silver.

However, when Lu Yan separated the infrared rays, ultraviolet rays, etc. and irradiated them separately, he found that there was no effect.

I also combined various light combinations and illuminated them together, but still found nothing.

And even artificial sunlight has no sensation for him.

Lu Yan had to wonder if there was something in the sun's rays that had not been discovered by people.

It's a pity that Lu Yan couldn't find it due to lack of technology.

As for why vampires are not afraid of moonlight if they are afraid of sunlight, he has also considered it.

After all, moonlight is sunlight reflected by the moon.

Lu Yan could only say that it was pure nonsense.

This involves his recent research topic "The Photostability of Vampire Blood."

As vampires continue to transform like this from generation to generation, their abilities will become weaker and weaker.

It's like Lu Man was assimilated by Lu Yan, but in terms of various abilities, Lu Man is much weaker than Lu Yan.

As mentioned just now, Lu Man is much worse than Lu Yan in all aspects such as blood dependence, light resistance, resistance to silver poison, etc.

If Lu Man transforms another member of the same race, the other party's abilities should be even weaker.

Until there was a generation of vampires who would be burned to ashes when exposed to sunlight. Any wound cut by silverware would turn into a puddle of thick water. If they did not drink blood for one day, they would fall into madness.

If there are vampires that are weak enough to be afraid of the moonlight, then presumably there is no need to exist.

Lu Yan was so weak that he really couldn't imagine how the other party could live in this world. Since he couldn't survive, it was reasonable for him not to exist.

By the way, there is a topic that Lu Yan has not studied because of insufficient material conditions.

"Is the Assimilation Ability of Vampires Degraded?"

This was also Lu Yan's doubt because he discovered that the abilities of vampires were not as good as the previous generations.

Will vampires lose their ability to assimilate other people if they pass to a certain generation?

The possibility shouldn't be small.

Of course, apart from these weaknesses, becoming a vampire is not without its benefits.

Freezing age is an ability that almost all women dream of.

Since becoming a vampire seven years ago, Lu Yan has found that his body is no longer growing. This may not be accurate, but it should be said that it is growing slowly.

Just like his current physical condition is not much different from that of seven years ago, if there is a reunion, his high school classmates will be very surprised to see him.

I haven't looked at my hair style for seven years, and almost nothing has changed.

This change in frozen age was not a bad thing for Lu Yan, after all, he was basically fully developed when he became a vampire. This is especially obvious in Lu Man.

You must know that she has not grown for several years. With a height of 1.47 meters, she looks like a little loli.

But who knows, she will be a sophomore in the second half of the year.

As for why it is said to be growing slowly.

Because Lu Yan had used very sophisticated equipment to measure all the physical data of himself and Lu Man.

When he entered the school as a freshman, he was 175.1 tall and Lu Man was 147.5. In the latest body measurement, Lu Yan's height reached an astonishing 175.3 and Lu Man was 147.7.

It has increased by 0.2 centimeters.

When she heard the news, Lu Man was very happy, but when she thought about the growth of only 0.2 centimeters in four or five years, she felt depressed for a long time.

However, this also verifies another topic of Lu Yan's "Can Vampires Live Immortal".

The preliminary conclusion is that although it may not be possible to live forever, it should be able to live for a long, long time. There is no problem with having a life span ten times that of normal humans.

There is a saying that the telomeres at the ends of human chromosomes can determine a person's lifespan. The older you are, the shorter your telomeres are, and the younger you are, the longer your telomeres are.

Lu Yan also thought about studying his own telomeres to see the difference between them and normal humans.

However, after detailed research, we found that this is not realistic.

The changes in the length of such a small thing all change in years.

If this were true, changes in vampire telomeres would occur on a ten-year basis.

If you want to observe something by yourself, it will take a long time, which is nothing more than wishful thinking.

However, the idea can be used as a reference and can be studied at the cellular level.

Lu Yan discovered that the cell activity throughout his body was very strong, and new cells were generated very quickly.

This is probably why his body recovers so quickly.

A small wound can be healed in a few seconds.

A scratch ten centimeters long took less than a minute.

Lu Yan even went so far as to be cruel and stabbed his arm so hard that it was so deep that his bones were visible.

As a result, in less than a minute, the wound stopped bleeding, in ten minutes it was mostly healed, and in fifteen minutes it was back to normal.

This was even if Lu Yan didn't use the special energy in his body. If he used the strange energy in his body, he would be able to recover from the injury in less than two minutes without even leaving a scar.

If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't do it, Lu Yan would have wanted to stab his stomach to see if the damaged internal organs could be recovered.

When it comes to what Lu Yan is most satisfied with after becoming a vampire, it is probably the special energy that appears in his body.

At the beginning, this energy was still very weak, just like a glass of water.

Seven years have passed, and this energy has continued to grow day by day, and now it has grown to the size of a small river.

Relying on this power, Lu Yan found that he could control water, fire, metal, and earth...

Anyway, relying on this power, Lu Yan can do many things, such as retrieving objects from the air.

If this wasn't nothing, it was different when Lu Yan discovered that he could rely on this power to temporarily stay in the air.

The sky has always been mankind's greatest desire.

He discovered that one of them, the power that allowed him to fly out of thin air, was very similar to what was written in the novel - telepathy.

Controlling the movement of the water cup also fits the description of telekinesis.

In a mess, Lu Yan found that there was so much he could do, and he was a little inflated for a while.

But when he thought about the scene where he was being pointed at by hundreds of machine guns, he calmed down.

It's swollen, it's swollen, how can we survive such a situation.

In order to avoid being sliced ​​and studied, Lu Yan decided on a course of action to keep quiet.

At the same time, Lu Man, who was also growing increasingly strong, was suppressed forcefully.

It was clarified that one should never use any ability in front of others or under surveillance, unless the other party was dead or about to become dead.

This kind of stubbornness lasted for more than seven years.
