It's not that Zhuo Fan had ulterior motives, but the 1,600 insect extermination points were of great use to him. What's more, the resources he provided were not bad, and the exchange points he needed were about 10% lower than those of the Adventurer's Association.
Even if Lin Tao noticed it later, he would not complain.
It has to be said that Zhuo Fan's understanding of Lin Tao has indeed reached a certain level.
If Lin Tao was still the fourth-level telepathic master he was before, he would definitely be excited by these resources and would immediately pick out the items he liked and exchange them on the spot.
Unfortunately, Lin Tao has already reached the sixth level of telekinesis master at this moment, which is beyond Zhuofan's expectations.
These resources are no longer of much use to Lin Tao.
After his eyes flashed a few times, Lin Tao slowly said: "Zhuo Fan, do you have a thunder stone core?"
Almost subconsciously, Lin Tao chose the thunder stone core over the two level six resources, thunder wood and thunder stone core, because the core of the Thunder Dragon Spear is a thunder stone. If he could get the thunder stone core and replace it, and find some materials to consolidate the Thunder Dragon Spear, this Thunder Dragon Spear would officially be promoted from a level four telepathic device to an exclusive telepathic device for level six telepathic masters.
Of course, Lin Tao's method was just a shortcut based on City Lord Levin's. If he really wanted to upgrade the level of the Thunder Dragon Spear, even after obtaining the Thunder Stone Core, he would still need a detailed design.
Unfortunately, Lin Tao's current knowledge of telekinetic devices mainly came from the information of the Mihuanxing Telekinetic Academy.
There are hundreds of flowers in bloom, but you can only own one, and Lin Tao has no other choice.
"Thunderstone core?" Zhuo Fan was shocked when he heard this. On the other side of the communication, his eyes twitched several times: "Lin Tao, where did you hear the news about the Thunderstone core?"
The thunder stone core is a level six resource, and it is also the top resource among level six telepathists. Not to mention low-level telepathists, even level six telepathists may not have heard of this name.
High-level resources have always been controlled by the powerful. No matter the source or the information, they are all kept strictly secret, making it difficult for the outside world to know.
Although Zhuo Fan didn't know where Lin Tao, a fourth-level mind energy master, heard the news, this thunder stone core was a bit tricky even for him.
"Lin Tao, your current strength is only at level 4. The Thunder Stone Core is a special telekinetic object for level 6 telekinetic masters. Even if you get it now, it won't be of much use. It's better to be practical and choose a few from the list for now."
Zhuo Fan's words not only advised him step by step, but also had a hint of meaning, telling Lin Tao not to have unrealistic ideas.
Lin Tao grinned. He was not ambitious now. Unfortunately, he could not explain to Zhuo Fan that he had been promoted to a sixth-level mind energy master. After hearing Zhuo Fan's excuse, he looked around and asked with a smile, "Why? As an analyst with a wise man behind you, even you can't find this kind of strange thing?"
"How is that possible? My grandfather has at least three..."
Annoyed by Lin Tao, Zhuo Fan blurted out, but as soon as he said it, he regretted it and quickly stopped talking.
But when Lin Tao heard that there was actually a thunderstone core behind Zhuo Fan, he could no longer suppress his excitement and quickly said, "Zhuo Fan, one, I only need one."
"Lin Tao, that's a level six treasure, and it's a special treasure, it's very valuable." Zhuo Fan's tone sounded like a toothache, and he regretted it in his heart.
But once words are spoken, they are like water spilled, and it is difficult to take them back. Zhuo Fan had no choice but to use the price to persuade the other party to back out.
"One thousand six hundred insect extermination points can't even be exchanged for one?" Lin Tao asked.
"No." Zhuo Fan refused unceremoniously. After a pause, he decided to tell the truth: "A level six special item requires at least 2,500 points, and the Thunder Stone Core is a top-level item for a level six mind energy master, so its value is even higher than that."
Upon hearing that the price of the thunder stone core was far above 1,600 insect extermination points, Lin Tao took a deep breath.
What a pity! If he had known about the rare item like the Thunder Stone Core earlier, he would definitely have competed with the city lords on the Despair Star to kill the insects and get more points.
It is useless to regret now. Lin Tao can only put such emotions that affect his mentality out of his mind.
Now that he knew about the Thunder Stone Core, Lin Tao would not give up. He thought for a moment and then spoke again: "Zhuo Fan, one, I only need one. In addition to the 1,600 insect extermination points, you can ask for any conditions."
At this point, Zhuo Fan already understood Lin Tao's mentality towards the Thunder Stone Core.
"In the Adventurer's Association, you need at least 3,000 Pest Control Points to exchange for a Thunder Stone. You only have 1,635 now. If you really want to exchange, you must increase your Pest Control Points by at least 1,365."
At this point, Zhuo Fan paused again, and then he spoke again: "Lin Tao, with your strength, it is not difficult to get more than 1,300 insect extermination points, but now you..."
Lin Tao killed the Seventh Prince and had the royal blood curse of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's royal family on him. Zhuo Fan couldn't guarantee that he had enough time to earn these points.
Lin Tao also understood. He immediately came up with an idea: "I heard from Salon that the Mengchen No. 1 potion I developed was rated 10,000 points in the Adventurer's Association. I wonder if this potion..."
"Lin Tao, pest control points are different from Adventurer's Association points. If you force yourself to exchange 10,000 Adventurer's Association points for pest control points, you can only exchange them for 100 points." Zhuo Fan said calmly.
Hiss! Lin Tao was stunned for a moment. Even he didn't expect that 10,000 Adventurer's Association points could only be exchanged for 100 insect extermination points.
When did the points for killing insects become so valuable? Lin Tao had no idea how difficult it was to kill insects. If he encountered one, it would only take him a raise of his hand.
Lin Tao not only possesses the power of telekinesis, but also possesses a special kind of Qi power. Qi power is different from physical strength. It is a special power that can penetrate the hard shell of an insect and destroy its internal organs, thereby killing the insect.
It is precisely this kind of power that allows Lin Tao to kill insects easily. If it were any other telekinetic master, it would be basically impossible to kill insects of the same level.
Back then on the Planet of Despair, the strength of that group of cicada-like insects was only at the level of a fourth-level telekinetic master, but it required a fifth-level telekinetic master, a city lord, to easily kill them.
It is conceivable that if the same fourth-level mind energy masters were to take action, they would probably all be killed by the cicada-like insects.
If not for this, why would City Lord Kong Zhen forcibly choose to sacrifice Lin Tao after the Seventh Prince changed.
Noticing that Zhuo Fan's tone was a little cold, Lin Tao naturally understood what he meant. It was obvious that Zhuo Fan had no intention of exchanging the top-level sixth-level rare item.
However, Lin Tao has made up his mind, and he will not let go until he reaches his goal: "Zhuo Fan, remember what I said."
"Go ahead." Zhuo Fan responded calmly.
"At the invitation of Salon, I developed a body strengthening potion named Mengchen Level 4 Potion as an application to join the underground telekinesis master." Lin Tao said.
"Oh?" Zhuo Fan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The effect of Mengchen's Level 4 potion is even better than Mengchen's No. 1 potion, and it can also be taken together with ordinary physical strengthening potions." Lin Tao said.
"To what extent can it be improved?" Zhuo Fan seemed to be interested.
"Mengchen No. 1 potion can increase strength by another 50% when taking the physical strengthening potion, and Mengchen No. 4 potion can increase it to about 70%." After a pause, Lin Tao said calmly: "Right now, I am researching an enhanced version of Mengchen No. 4 potion. If it is successfully researched, it can at least increase it to 100%!"
Hiss~ During the communication, Zhuo Fan sucked in a breath of air. The 100% improvement almost doubled the human strength again. For the body-refining mind energy master, it was like a magic medicine.
Moreover, this potion can be taken at the same time as the physical potion, so you can imagine how valuable it is.
Even though this kind of medicine has not yet been developed, the 70% improvement medicine submitted by Lin Tao also made Zhuo Fan excited.
It can be imagined that once this potion reaches the hands of the Adventurer's Association, its value will definitely be no less than 50,000 points, or 500 insect extermination points.
And this is not the most important point.
As a pharmacist, Lin Tao's own value far exceeds these medicines.
It can be imagined that if Lin Tao can be won over to one's side, high-value potions will appear continuously. By then, not to mention potions worth 100,000 points, even potions worth 1 million points may be possible.
Royal blood curse?
Zhuo Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, then took a deep breath: "Lin Tao, I'll hang up first and get back to you later."
After disconnecting the call, Zhuo Fan quickly dialed another one, and a vigorous voice came from the call: "Did the Black Dragon Mountain Empire encounter any difficult problems?"
The voice was a little harsh, but more of a loving one.
The owner of the voice was Zhuo Fan's grandfather, the wise Zhuo Chengdun.
Although he is doted on by his grandfather, Zhuo Fan will not waste time talking too much nonsense, because the time of his wise grandfather is worth a lot of money.
Suddenly hearing about Lin Tao, Zhuo Chengxun pondered for a long time, and then spoke after a long while: "Fan'er, are you going to take a chance on him?"
"Yes, Lin Tao has a special body-refining technique that not only allows him to kill insects easily, but he is also a master of medicine and a maker of telekinetic devices." Zhuo Fan analyzed, "If you do many things at the same time, most ordinary people will perform mediocrely, but if someone can still achieve certain results under such circumstances, he should have the potential to be a wise man."
"Unfortunately, because of the incident with the Seventh Prince, he has now been cursed by the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's royal blood curse. Otherwise, I would have invited him to join me in killing the insect man."
