Chapter 239 Information Sharing
Wright was originally fixing the girl's hair. He looked up and met Thor's gaze, forcing a difficult smile on his pale face.
He had paid off all the one hundred credits he owed to Thor, but since then he had been avoiding Thor intentionally or unintentionally, and even spent a long time outside doing missions. It was unknown what he was worried about.
A few seats away was another person Thor was familiar with.
Ku Jin, the former manager of the second warehouse, never contacted Thor again after his first attempt to trick Thor into taking the candles out of the warehouse failed.
Perhaps he was frightened by the disappearance of his partner Ferguson.
At this time, the tall and strong Ku Jin sat there, carefully retracting his gaze. But his overly strong body still made him very conspicuous in the room.
There were many familiar faces in the activity room, but Thor couldn't remember most of their names.
But there is no senior Byron.
"It seems that the senior is really keeping his distance from the mutual aid association."
He found a seat not far from the door and sat down.
There was an empty seat next to him, where sat a skinny second-level apprentice, with the skin on his face and the backs of his hands having a metallic sheen.
His current state is somewhat similar to that of Keli, and he should also be an apprentice majoring in gold attribute.
Not long after Saul sat down, Jero, who had been acting at the door, staggered in.
Luo Kai and Kong Sha also entered one after another.
It seems that Luo Kai was unable to stop Kong Sha from coming in after all.
However, Kong Sha was aware that she was not welcome, so she chose to sit down in a vacant space with three consecutive seats on both sides.
However, Jero, who came in first, looked around, walked up to Thor, sat down between him and the thin apprentice with a metallic luster, and crossed his legs.
The apprentice on the other side visibly tensed his muscles, but Thor didn't know this Jero, so he just half lowered his head and said nothing.
Luo Kai, who came in last, closed the door and said, "It's exactly nine o'clock. It seems that others are busy and can't come. But there will be more than a dozen people in this exchange meeting, and many seniors have just returned from missions outside. I think we can gain a lot."
However, at this moment, the door that Luo Kai had half-closed was suddenly blocked by a hand.
He immediately smiled like a salesperson, "Who are you, senior? You are just in time. If you were a moment later, the gate would have been closed."
Luo Kai took a half step back to allow the newcomer to push the door open.
However, when the newcomer stepped into the activity room, Thor clearly heard someone scream, and even Jero, who was sitting next to him, stopped shaking his legs and glanced towards the door.
Thor turned his head and saw Heywood, a man with blue-purple eyes and wearing a large cloak, slowly walking in.
"Then I'm quite lucky." Haywood's eyes met Thor's and he nodded slightly.
But he did not come to Thor, but walked over to Kongsha and sat down.
It's not surprising that he is familiar with Kong Sha.
But what concerned Saul was that although Haywood sat on Konsha's left, he left an empty seat for him.
If it were someone else, they might think this was just normal social distancing.
But Saul still remembered that when Kongsha stood, her eyes were always looking to her left.
It seemed like there was really someone standing there.
Now, when Kong Sha sits down, most of her eyes are looking to the left, as if that person is sitting in the empty seat to Kong Sha's left.
Although there were a few minor incidents, the mutual aid association's high-level exchange meeting finally started on time.
Luo Kai closed the door, and the parchment scroll in the middle of the venue automatically unfolded.
There is a golden witchcraft circle drawn on it.
When Luo Kai chanted the spell, several golden streams of light immediately flowed from the magic circle to the walls around the room. After crisscrossing several times, they met at the door, forming an independent space sealed by witchcraft.
This was somewhat unexpected for Thor, who was sitting at the door ready to leave at any time.
This high-level exchange meeting was different from the ordinary exchange meetings he had attended before, as he was not allowed to leave early.
However, seeing that everyone else looked calm, Thor sat down at ease. "Okay, today is really full of surprises, so let's get started. The first item of the exchange meeting is about the progress of each instructor's experimental project and the changes in some apprentices."
Luo Kai clapped his hands and got to the point.
"First, my mentor, Mr. An Ze. We have been very busy recently. A new composite material has been discovered. If you are lucky, you won't have to worry about food when you go out in the future. Just a small bite of this composite material will provide enough energy to keep you going for a month."
Saul had never expected that this mutual aid association's exchange meeting was actually an exchange meeting. Moreover, the information exchanged was about the research topics of the tutors, which should be very confidential.
But would Teacher An Ze really study this kind of compressed food for the purpose of replenishing energy? Thor secretly observed everyone, and everyone's expression was very calm.
There is neither the joy of obtaining information nor the dissatisfaction of hearing boring gossip.
Jero, who was closest to Thor, seemed to be tilting his head to observe him, but Thor did not meet his gaze.
He deliberately ignored the senior who came to him and looked at Wright who was diagonally opposite him.
Wright was adjusting the skirt of the little maid on his lap at this moment, with an extremely serious expression and no sense of shame.
Billy, who was beside Wright, was still staring at the ground with a gloomy face, and seemed not to care what Luo Kai in the middle of the room was saying.
Kong Sha's eyes kept floating. When Thor glanced over, one of them immediately looked back.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Kong Sha seems a little nervous and tense." Thor nodded slightly at Kong Sha and shifted his gaze.
Haywood, who was sitting one seat away from Konsha, had a contented smile on his face.
He didn't look at Thor, but stared at Luo Kai with great interest, as if he was really interested in the news he said.
Taking in everyone's reactions, Thor began to think about what valuable parts were hidden in Luo Kai's information.
"Teacher An Ze seems to be making a composite material. But I guess his original intention of making the composite material was not to eat it. So, the progress that Luo Kai mentioned is actually the failure of the experiment, right?"
Then Luo Kai talked about some other information, but most of them were related to the apprentices.
Especially in his mutual aid association, there would always be news of new apprentices. Those gifted children would thus enter the sight of high-level apprentices.
I don’t know whether it is good or bad.
At this time, Luo Kai suddenly mentioned a name that Thor was very familiar with.
"...The last new apprentice who has some potential is called...George." Luo Kai looked at Thor intentionally or unintentionally, "He is a rare one with two consciousnesses. Although a newbie doesn't understand, many of you here will be interested in him, right?"
As soon as Luo Kai finished speaking, the originally quiet activity room suddenly became filled with some discussions.
However, the voice was illusory and its source could not be found. It seemed to be the effect of a magic circle that blocked non-public speeches.
The whispered discussions were blurred.
Luo Kai raised his hand to suppress the discussion.
"If any of you are planning on taking advantage of George, I suggest you give up first." Luo Kai shrugged. "Someone has already said that they will protect him for at least one year."
"Hmph!" The cold snort was very obvious, as if someone was dissatisfied with the decision, so he raised his voice and publicly expressed his attitude.
Before Luo Kai could say anything, Heywood suddenly spoke up, "Are you dissatisfied?"
As he spoke, he looked towards a third-level apprentice and accurately found the source of the voice.
The apprentice who was targeted by Haywood was stunned immediately. After a moment, he understood something and lowered his head to retreat.
"No, I don't have any complaints."
Haywood smiled and said, "That's good. George has a rare talent. I want to observe him for a year and then decide whether to make him a material or the person in charge of the material."
He looked around. "Anyone else has objections?"
"Of course not." Jero beside Thor suddenly said loudly, "Who dares to offend our warehouse manager?"
This sounded like a compliment to Heywood, but Thor always felt that Jero was being sarcastic.
He couldn't help but look at Jero again. This guy dared to face Shanghai Wood head-on. His strength must be among the best among the third-level apprentices.
Sorry, I went out today, so the second update is late (end of this chapter)
