Chapter 240 Exchange of goods

Chapter 240 – Item Exchange
Facing Jello’s nonchalant rhetorical question, Heywood was not angry.

“No is good.” He let out a light laugh.

There was something strange about the sound, like there were two people laughing at the same time.

And Jello, who was still shaking his legs, stopped moving and stared at Haywood across the room, his eyes flickering non-stop, as if there were electric flashes.

“Is this Jero an apprentice who majors in the lightning attribute?” Sol suppressed his habitual sensitivity to lightning and didn’t let himself change his sitting position.

The confrontation between Heywood and Jero made the activity room quiet for a short while.

It was Haywood who finally broke the ice.

He gave Rokai a slight nod, “Sorry to interrupt, please continue.”

Only then did Luo Kai waved his hand, “Good, then I’ll proceed to introduce the other tutors.”

While Rokai was speaking, Saul heard Jero, who was beside him, lower his voice, “Hmph, think you’re learning like a pro?”

As Rokai continued to introduce the project topics that the other mentors were currently working on, the activity room also replied with subtle sounds of discussion.

Jero’s voice was not noticeable in there, and the specifics could probably only be heard by Saul and the other second level apprentice sitting to his left and right.

Sol guessed what Jero meant.

He said that Haywood was consciously or unconsciously imitating Tower Master Golza’s style of doing things.

It seems to interpret this behavior as ass-kissing.

However, Saul, who knew a little about Haywood’s life, knew that it was probably an imitation caused by extreme admiration for Golza.

Only that Haywood’s character and Golza were still different in nature, so the deliberate imitation was still a bit clumsy.

In his afterglow, Saul found that the second level apprentice to the left of Gero seemed to be a bit fidgety, probably because he was frightened by the atmosphere just now.

Sol straightened his posture and continued to listen to Rokai’s introduction.

Mentor Guido has recently started a new project, which seems to be researching some kind of new metal toxin, and has also gotten quite a few newly minted second level apprentices involved.

“This news corresponds with Korie’s side. It seems like Korie has gotten better and better at her mentor’s place.”

Rokai then mentioned that Mentor Monica was in seclusion, while Mentor Rum was still stuck on a certain difficult point of soul infusion with no progress.

Sharing this, Rokai paused and turned his gaze to Sol’s side.

It finally landed on Sol’s left side, the second level apprentice who was already visibly fidgeting.

“I don’t have any information here yet about Mentor Kaz’s recent research. Hoenn, I’ve heard that you’ve been called away by Mentor Kaz a lot lately, can you share the subject of your mentor’s research?”

Hu En was already fidgeting, and when he was suddenly named by Rokai, he almost fell out of his chair.

“I, I …… “Huen “I” didn’t say anything after half a day.

Rokai approached and seemed to be trying to comfort him, but the smile he revealed was a bit too wide.

“Hu En, you don’t need to be nervous, all the information that the mentor asked you to keep confidential don’t need to say, just say what can be said. It’s your first time to come to the exchange meeting, in fact, we have been sharing our mentor’s research topics with each other for many years. After all, only when we are clear about the leading direction of our superiors can we better carry out our own work, isn’t that right?”

Rokai placed a hand gently on Hoenn’s shoulder.

“Don’t worry, the fact that we share information is known to our mentors. And we never touch information that our mentors don’t allow to be spread out. Those above are only because within the Sorcerer’s Tower, there is not much communication and there is an information gap between each other, so people don’t know about it. The Mutual Aid Society, as the largest apprentice organization within the Sorcerer’s Tower, naturally takes on the responsibility of sharing information.”

At the same time that Huon was entangled, Saul was also thinking about Rokai’s real intention of exchanging information.

There was no need to believe in official words like “for the sake of better work”.

Most likely, Rokai was still using this way to get the information he really needed.

Maybe this Hoenn was the target of his information sharing this time. Still, as an onlooker, Saul was able to sort out quite a bit of information from it.

Especially those information about the subject matter of the mentors. It was known that these mentors had to listen to the Tower Master’s command, and the Tower Master seemed to be currently researching on resurrecting Mrs. Yura. Saul naturally associated himself in that direction.

Mentor Anze was a civil engineering double major, and seemed to specialize in various new composite materials.

Tutor Rum was targeting souls, especially researching how to channel different souls into other people’s bodies and stabilize them.

Tutor Guido studies toxins. But he didn’t necessarily study toxins just to hurt people. Thinking about Tutor Guido spitting human tissue out from time to time, Saul thought that the other party’s research on toxins was more likely to fight poison with poison, and was mainly trying to solve certain biological rejection reactions.

And Tutor Monica’s news had little gold in it.

Still, Saul tried to make the connection. Electric shock was a key node in triggering reactions in many biochemical sorcery experiments as well as psychic sorcery experiments. So it was more likely that Mentor Monica was in charge of practical exercises. And she might be involved in other mentors’ experiments.

So that left Mentor Katz.

Although Saul was also Mentor Katz’s apprentice, the sorceries and topics he was currently studying were hardly related to Mentor Katz. Naturally, he didn’t know what his mentor was studying.

At this time, Huon, who didn’t know whether he was persuaded by Rokai or intimidated by the atmosphere of the entire activity room, finally spoke up.

“Mentor he, he’s recently been researching the conversion of ghosts and evil spirits, and it seems to have made some progress. But I can’t get in touch with ……”

Rokai listened attentively, and exaggeratedly nodded his head repeatedly, “Wow, conversion between ghosts and evil spirits? It sounds difficult, right? Is it a one-way conversion or a two-way conversion?”

At that moment, someone interrupted him, “Then it must be a ghost to evil spirit conversion!”

The one who spoke was a female apprentice, who was admiring her bright red nails, and said disdainfully, “If evil spirits can turn into ghosts at will, that would solve a thousand year’s worth of problems, and wouldn’t we have fewer of the most dangerous enemies when we go out on adventures?”

She skimmed her lips in a smirk, “I’d really have to thank Mentor Katz for that.”

“Mentor Katz also has some ideas about evil spirits turning ghosts, only he hasn’t started experimenting yet.” Hoenn seemed to be unable to look at the female apprentice’s sarcasm towards her mentor, and gave a quick retort.

Only his retort instantly attracted many more people’s attention.

But before Saul could think deeply, his thoughts were interrupted by a playful laugh from Rokai.

“Hehehe, if we can really transform evil spirits, then congratulations to ourselves!” He took the initiative to discontinue the discussion, “According to the rules, let’s move on to the exchange time next. If you all have props, hidden information, or outgoing mission slots that you need to exchange, you can say so now. However, in order to maintain order, let’s speak in clockwise order of our seats.”

Rokai looked towards an apprentice sitting in the doorway.

The apprentice had been distracted during the information sharing earlier, and when it was time for the exchange, he was immediately in high spirits.

It occurred to Sol that he had purposely sat at the doorway, presumably because he had come here to exchange items.

Sure enough, as soon as Rokai pointed at him, the apprentice instantly stood up.

“I need the living bodies of non-human intelligent creatures. Dwarves, goblins, plant-like monsters, intelligent insects, and so on are all fine. I’ve prepared two thousand magic crystals and two hundred credits. Anything within that price can come to me.”

When Saul heard so much money, he was a bit moved. Only on second thought, it seemed like he didn’t have any living intelligent creatures on him.

It was either evil spirits or grudge spirits, or elemental creatures like algae, which had nothing to do with living beings.

The event room was a bit quiet for a moment, and there didn’t seem to be many people who had living creatures of special races either.

Kujinaka, who was sitting across the room, even threw his legs out and started taunting mode.

“For that kind of money, how did you have the nerve to mention dwarves and goblins? There’s still a possibility of doubling the ones in front of the last few, right?”

The apprentice who was disliked by Kujin pursed his lips and didn’t choke, but only looked at the others with a hopeful gaze.

At this time Wright suddenly spoke, “I do have a mount Shadow Cheetah, I’m already tired of playing with it, if you like it you can change it.”
