Chapter 240: Item Exchange
Faced with Jero's impolite question, Heywood was not angry.
"That's good." He chuckled.
The sound was a little strange, like two people laughing at the same time.
Jero, who was originally shaking his legs, stopped moving and stared at Haywood opposite him. His eyes kept flickering as if there were flashes of lightning.
"Is this Jero an apprentice majoring in lightning?" Thor suppressed his habitual sensitivity to lightning and did not change his sitting position.
The confrontation between Haywood and Jero brought a brief silence to the activity room.
In the end, it was Haywood who broke the deadlock.
He nodded to Luo Kaili and said, "Sorry to interrupt you, please continue."
Luo Kai then waved his hand and said, "Okay, then I will introduce other instructors."
While Luo Kai was speaking, Thor heard Jero beside him lower his voice and say, "Huh, do you think you have learned it well?"
As Luo Kai continued to introduce the project topics that other tutors were currently researching, the activity room also responded with subtle discussions.
Jero's voice was not obvious inside, and probably only Thor and another second-level apprentice sitting on his left and right could hear the specific content.
Thor guessed what Jero meant.
He said Heywood was consciously or unconsciously imitating the style of the tower owner Gorza.
It seems that this behavior is understood as flattery.
But Saul, who knew a little about Heywood's background, knew that it was probably an imitation caused by his extreme admiration for Golsa.
However, Haywood's character is fundamentally different from Gorsa's, so the deliberate imitation is still a bit clumsy.
From the corner of his eye, Thor noticed that the second-level apprentice on Jero's left seemed a little restless, probably frightened by the atmosphere just now.
Thor straightened his posture and continued to listen to Luo Kai's introduction.
Mentor Guduo recently started a new project, which seems to be the research of some new metal toxins, and he also let many new second-level apprentices participate in it.
"This news matches what happened with Keli. It seems that Keli is getting better and better with her mentor."
Luo Kai then mentioned that Mentor Monica was in seclusion, while Mentor Rum was still stuck on a difficult point in soul infusion and had made no progress.
After sharing this, Luo Kai stopped and turned his gaze to Thor.
Finally it fell on the left side of Thor, the Level 2 Apprentice who was visibly fidgeting.
"I don't have any information about Professor Kaz's recent research. Hu En, I heard that you have been called away by Professor Kaz recently. Can you share the topic of his research?"
Hu En was already fidgeting, and when Luo Kai called his name suddenly, he almost fell off his chair.
"I, I..." Hu En said "I" for a long time but said nothing.
Luo Kai walked closer, seemingly wanting to comfort him, but his smile was a little too bright.
"Hu En, don't be nervous. You don't have to tell us anything that your supervisor has asked you to keep confidential. Just tell us what you can. This is your first time at the exchange meeting. In fact, we have been sharing our supervisors' research topics with each other for many years. After all, only when we know the leading direction of our superiors can we do our work better, right?"
Luo Kai gently placed a hand on Hu En's shoulder.
"Don't worry, the instructors are also aware of the fact that we share information. And we never touch information that the instructors do not allow to be passed on. The above information is only unknown because there is not much communication in the Wizard Tower and there is a gap in information between each other. As the largest apprentice organization in the Wizard Tower, the Mutual Aid Association naturally has the responsibility of sharing information."
While Hu En was struggling, Thor was also thinking about Luo Kai's real intention of exchanging information.
Don’t believe the official rhetoric like “for a better work”.
Luo Kai probably uses this method of throwing some bricks into the sand to get the information he really needs.
Maybe this Hu En is the target of his information sharing this time.
However, as a bystander, Thor still sorted out a lot of information from it.
Especially the information about the tutor's subjects. Knowing that these tutors must obey the orders of the tower master, and the tower master seems to be studying the resurrection of Mrs. Euler, Thor naturally thought about this.
Teacher An Ze is a double major in civil engineering, and seems to specialize in various new composite materials.
Mentor Rum focuses on the soul, especially studying how to introduce different souls into other people's bodies and allow them to develop stably.
Mentor Gudo studies toxins. But he doesn't necessarily study toxins to hurt people. Thinking about Mentor Gudo vomiting human tissue from time to time, Thor thinks that he studies toxins more likely to fight poison with poison, mainly to solve certain biological rejection reactions.
The news about Monica's mentor is not very valuable.
But Thor still tried to associate. Electric shock is the key node to trigger reaction in many biochemical witchcraft experiments and spirit witchcraft experiments. So Monica is more likely to be responsible for the practical operation. And she may also participate in the experiments of other teachers.
That leaves Mentor Kaz.
Although Thor was also an apprentice of Mentor Kaz, the witchcraft and topics he was currently studying had almost nothing to do with Mentor Kaz, so naturally he didn't know what the mentor was studying.
At this time, Hu En, perhaps persuaded by Luo Kai or frightened by the atmosphere in the entire activity room, finally spoke.
"My mentor has been studying the transformation of ghosts and evil spirits recently, and seems to have made some progress. But I can't get in touch with him..."
Luo Kai listened very carefully and nodded repeatedly in an exaggerated manner, "Wow, the transformation between a ghost and an evil spirit? It sounds difficult, right? Is it a one-way transformation or a two-way transformation?"
At this time, someone interrupted him, "That must be a ghost turned into an evil spirit!"
The speaker was a female apprentice who was admiring her bright red nails. She said disdainfully, "If evil spirits can turn ghosts at will, it will solve the thousand-year-old problem. Wouldn't we have one less dangerous enemy when we go out on adventures?"
She curled her lips in a half-smile, "Then I really have to thank Mr. Kaz."
"Teacher Kaz also has some ideas about how to transform evil spirits into ghosts, but he hasn't started the experiment yet." Hu En seemed unable to stand the female apprentice's sarcasm towards his mentor, and quickly retorted.
However, his rebuttal instantly attracted the attention of many people.
But before Thor had time to think deeply, his thoughts were interrupted by Luo Kai's laughter.
"Hehehe, if we can really transform evil spirits, then we should congratulate ourselves!" He took the initiative to stop everyone's discussion. "According to the rules, let's move on to the exchange time. If anyone has props, secret information, or mission quotas to exchange, you can say it now. But in order to maintain order, we still speak in a clockwise order from our seats."
Luo Kai looked at an apprentice sitting at the door.
The apprentice had been absent-minded during the information sharing, but when it came to the exchange time, he immediately became alert.
Thor thought that he sat at the door on purpose, probably because he came here to exchange items.
Sure enough, as soon as Luo Kai pointed at him, the apprentice stood up instantly.
"I need living non-human intelligent creatures. Dwarves, goblins, plant monsters, intelligent insects, etc. are all fine. I have prepared 2,000 magic crystals and 200 credits. Anyone who is willing to pay within this price can come to me."
When Thor heard about so much money, he was tempted. But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was no living intelligent creature on him.
They are either evil spirits or vengeful spirits, or elemental creatures like algae, which have nothing to do with living things.
The activity room was a little quiet for a while, and it seemed that there were not many people with living creatures of special races.
Ku Jinzhong, who was sitting opposite, stretched out his thighs and started to taunt.
"How dare you mention dwarves and goblins for such a small amount of money? The latter ones might even cost twice as much as the former ones."
The apprentice who was scolded by Ku Jin pursed his lips and did not say anything, but just looked at others with hope.
At this time, Wright suddenly said, "I do have a mount, the Shadow Cheetah, but I'm tired of playing with it. If you like it, you can change it."
