Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 240 Item Exchange

Haywood remained unperturbed by Jero's blunt question.

"That's good." He chuckled softly.

The sound was strange, like two people laughing at the same time.

Jero, who had been shaking his leg, stopped moving and stared at Haywood across from him, his eyes flashing as if lightning was crackling in them.

"Is this Jero an apprentice specializing in lightning?" Thor suppressed his habitual sensitivity to lightning and didn't change his posture.

The standoff between Heywood and Jero silenced the activity room for a brief moment.

In the end, it was Haywood who broke the deadlock.

He nodded slightly to Luo Kai. "Sorry to interrupt you, please continue."

Luo Kai then waved his hand, "Alright, then I'll continue introducing the other mentors."

As Luo Kai spoke, Thor heard Jero beside him lower his voice and say, "Hmph, does he think he's doing a good job imitating me?"

As Luo Kai continued to introduce the projects and topics that other mentors were currently researching, the activity room responded with subtle discussions.

Jero's voice wasn't very clear inside; the specific content could probably only be heard by Thor, who was sitting to his left and right, and another second-level apprentice.

Thor guessed what Jero meant.

He said that Haywood was consciously or unconsciously imitating the style of Tower Master Gorza.

This behavior seems to be interpreted 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 Gorza.

However, Heywood's personality was fundamentally different from Gorsar's, so his deliberate imitation was rather clumsy.

From the distance, Thor noticed that the second-level apprentice to Jero's left seemed a little uneasy, probably because he was frightened by the atmosphere just now.

Thor straightened his posture and continued listening to Luo Kai's introduction.

Instructor Gu Duo recently started a new research project, which seems to be about a new type of metal toxin, and has involved many newly promoted Level 2 apprentices.

"This news matches up with what happened with Keli. It seems Keli is getting along very well with her mentor."

Luo Kai then mentioned that Mentor Monica was in seclusion, while Mentor Rum was still stuck on a certain difficult point in the soul infusion and had made no progress.

After sharing this, Luo Kai stopped and turned his gaze to Thor.

Finally, it landed on Thor's left-left side, on the second-level apprentice who was clearly restless.

"I don't have any information about Professor Katz's recent research yet. Hu En, I heard you've been frequently called away by Professor Katz lately. Could you share some information about his research topics?"

Hu En was already restless, and when Luo Kai suddenly called on him, he almost fell off his chair.

"I, I..." Hu En stammered for a long time without saying anything.

Luo Kai approached him, seemingly wanting to comfort him, but his smile was a little too bright.

"Hu En, don't be nervous. Don't say anything your supervisor asks you to keep confidential; just say what you can say. This is your first time at this exchange meeting. In fact, we've been sharing our supervisors' research topics with each other for many years. After all, only by understanding the guiding direction from above can we better carry out our work, right?"

Luo Kai gently placed a hand on Hu En's shoulder.

"Don't worry, our mentors are aware that we share information. Furthermore, we never touch information that our mentors forbid from being shared. The reason everyone is unaware of the above is simply because there isn't much communication within the Wizarding Tower, leading to information gaps. As the largest apprentice organization within the Wizarding Tower, the Mutual Aid Society naturally bears the responsibility of information sharing."

While Huen was struggling with his dilemma, Saul was also pondering the true purpose of Rokai's exchange of information.

Don't believe official platitudes like "for better work".

Luo Kai mostly used this method of throwing out a brick to get the information he really needed.

Perhaps this Hu En is the target of his information sharing.

However, as an observer, Saul still managed to glean a considerable amount of information from it.

Especially the information about the mentors' research topics. Knowing that these mentors must obey the Tower Master's commands, and that the Tower Master is currently researching the resurrection of Lady Yola, Thor naturally made connections in that direction.

Professor Anze is a dual major in civil engineering and seems to specialize in various new composite materials.

Mentor Rum focuses on the soul, especially researching how to introduce different souls into other people's bodies and allow them to develop steadily.

Gudo studies toxins. But his research into toxins isn't necessarily for the purpose of harming people. Considering Gudo's occasional vomiting of human tissue, Thor thinks that Gudo's research into toxins is more likely for the purpose of fighting poison with poison, mainly to resolve certain biological rejection reactions.

The information about Monica's mentor, however, is not very reliable.

However, Thor tried to make connections. Electric shocks are often a key trigger in many bio-chemical and spiritual witchcraft experiments. Therefore, Monica was more likely responsible for the practical work. And she might also be involved in other instructors' experiments.

That leaves only Mentor Kaz.

Although Thor is also an apprentice of Master Katz, the witchcraft and topics he is currently researching are almost entirely unrelated to Master Katz. Naturally, he has no idea what his master is researching.

At this moment, whether persuaded by Luo Kai or intimidated by the atmosphere in the activity room, Hu En finally spoke up.

"My mentor... he's been researching the transformation between ghosts and evil spirits lately, and it seems he's made some progress. But I can't access him..."

Luo Kai listened intently, nodding exaggeratedly repeatedly. "Wow, the transformation between ghosts and evil spirits? That sounds difficult, doesn't it? Is it a one-way or two-way transformation?"

At this moment, someone interrupted him, "That must be a ghost turning into an evil spirit!"

The speaker was a female apprentice who was admiring her bright red fingernails. She said disdainfully, "If evil spirits could transform into ghosts at will, that would solve a problem that has existed for thousands of years. Wouldn't we be much safer from our most dangerous enemies when we go on adventures?"

She pursed her lips in a half-smile, "Then I really have to thank Instructor Katz."

"Mentor Kaz also has some ideas about turning evil spirits into ghosts, but he hasn't started experimenting yet." Hu En seemed unable to stand the female apprentice's sarcasm towards her mentor and quickly retorted.

However, his rebuttal instantly attracted the attention of many people.

But before Thor could ponder this further, he was interrupted by a playful laugh from Roca.

"Hehehe, if we can really transform evil spirits, then congratulations to 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 items, secret information, or mission slots to exchange, you can say so now. However, to maintain order, we will still go in clockwise order of seating."

Luo Kai looked at an apprentice sitting at the door.

During the information sharing session, the apprentice had been distracted, but when it was time to exchange information, he immediately became alert.

Thor realized that the man had deliberately sat near the door, probably intending to exchange items.

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

"I need living, non-human intelligent beings. Dwarves, goblins, plant monsters, intelligent insects, etc., are all acceptable. I have prepared two thousand magic crystals and two hundred credits. Anyone within this price range can come to me."

Thor was tempted by the amount of money. However, upon closer reflection, he realized he didn't seem to have any living intelligent beings on him.

They are either evil spirits, vengeful spirits, or elemental beings like Xiaozhao, and have nothing to do with living beings.

The activity room was quiet for a moment, and it seemed that not many people possessed living creatures of a special race.

Sitting opposite him, Kujin stretched out his leg and started his taunting mode.

"With so little money, how dare you mention dwarves and goblins? The latter types might even double the price of the former."

The apprentice, who had been rebuked by Kujin, pursed his lips but didn't retaliate. He simply looked at the others with hopeful eyes.

At this moment, Wright suddenly spoke up, "I do have a Shadow Panther mount, but I'm already tired of it. If you like, you can get a different one."
