Chapter 493: Valuable Exchange and Dragon Slime
“Of course——”
Avis nodded somewhat surprised by the price. He originally thought that the price might be that he couldn’t find Claire even if he went there.
As for the so-called weirdness, Avis didn’t take it to heart at all. With his current strength, he didn’t think that the so-called weirdness would pose any threat to him.
“Very good, next one.”
Without saying much, Nancy tapped the crystal ball in the air as before.
So, a picture suddenly appeared in Avis’s mind.
In the blue-black night sky, a full purple moon and strange black stars hung high in the sky, and a light blue guiding star hung far away in the sky, indicating the concept of ‘direction’.
The barren mountains and deserts that appeared dark purple under the moonlight appeared in Avis’s gaze.
Then, the height of the picture began to drop rapidly and sank into the depths of the earth.
In the dark cave environment, a blonde girl wearing a thick traveler’s cloak and holding a magic lantern in her hand walked alone on a narrow rock bridge.
The material of the bridge is a dark and solid rock, without guardrails, and the two sides of the bridge are like a bottomless dark abyss.
The lantern emits warm yellow light, illuminating a small cone-shaped area in front of the girl. And at the end of her forward direction, a low rock palace is vaguely visible.
When Avis saw this scene, the girl in the picture seemed to have noticed something and paused, looking around, but did not notice anything unusual.
In other words, Claire is currently in a ruin in the dream world?
After getting this information, Avis frowned slightly, which was not good news for him.
It is much more difficult to find someone in the dream world than in the main world.
Unlike the main world, the entire dream world level is composed of countless independent dream worlds "surrounding" the main dream world.
And if you continue to trace back to the bottom, there is an endless deep dream space.
If Claire is really in an independent dream world, then the chances of him finding her quickly are not high.
As Avis was thinking, the picture in his mind slowly faded, and the last scene was frozen on the back of the girl walking towards the low palace.
But at this moment, from the dark abyss on both sides of the bridge in the picture, some strange sights suddenly cast along the disappearing picture, making Avis's spirit feel slightly cold.
In the perception of other students watching around, a strange feeling of coldness suddenly emanated from Avis's body, making the temperature in the room seem to drop a lot.
"Do you need help?"
Sensing the abnormality of Avis, Nancy frowned slightly.
In her perception, the breath of this strange existence is at least above the sixth level. With Avis' current strength of the fourth level close to the fifth level, it may be quite troublesome to deal with it.
Moreover, it has only been half a month since the other party returned to the academy. If there is another accident due to the cost of the wishing technique, it may be very troublesome for the academy to face the Olivendi family.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I can handle it myself."
Waving his hand, Avis smiled and declined Nancy. At the same time, a ring under his gloves emitted a faint light, which quickly shrank the chill around him to an undetectable level.
"Alright."
Seeing this scene, Nancy glanced at his hands and said nothing more.
At least a sixth-level magic ring, and it seemed to be fully equipped. It's really good to have money.
A moment later, as the last student finished making a wish, Teacher Nancy once again explained the details that need to be paid attention to in arranging the wishing ceremony, as well as its specific spell concepts, and this wishing course officially ended.
After the course, the silver-haired girl teacher closed the heavy black book in her hand, and her figure disappeared as instantly as she appeared. Many students left the classroom in twos and threes, and the remnants of the ceremony would naturally be cleaned up by the students who received the task afterwards.
"To be honest, Avis, this wishing course gave me a lot of inspiration! I think we might be able to cooperate!"
On the way out, Avis's mysterious school classmate, the green-haired Becky, walked beside Avis, chattering about his ideas. His light green slime pet followed his footsteps and twisted and bounced above his head.
"Limited wishing is a genius idea. Its way of fulfilling wishes has given me a lot of inspiration. Based on its principle, I can create a secret method to produce precious treasures in batches!"
"Oh, okay... Dear Mr. Becky, what great ideas do you have today that you want to bring to the world?"
Listening to his words, Avis smiled politely and echoed casually.
"It is a transformation from one extreme to another. You know, for example, taking something that people hate extremely as a basis and transforming it into another extremely favorite thing. This is in line with the concept of 'valuable exchange' in wishing."
"Can you be more specific?"
"For example, people hate dirty and smelly excrement very much, but they all like all kinds of expensive and shining gems."
Becky raised his hand and gestured excitedly.
"Then, based on the idea of this spell, we can completely eliminate the wishing process. We can only use its 'valuable exchange' process to transform a pile of excrement into precious gems of equal weight!"
"...It does sound like a feasible idea."
Anvis stopped and looked at Becky's enthusiastic face with his eyelids twitching.
"But, can the value of the gems you generate using this ritual be worth the cost of the ritual materials?"
"If we remove the most valuable wish-making medium, we should be able to barely succeed in converting it."
Becky was stunned for a moment after being poured cold water on her, but she still refused to admit defeat.
"So, what's the price?"
"The transformation effect cannot last forever..."
"I will notify the Family Chamber of Commerce and blacklist you and your gems permanently."
Avis showed no expression on his face and dismissed Becky's terrible idea.
"No! I'm just talking. If you don't like it, forget it."
Becky immediately changed his mind. If he was really blocked, he would have nowhere to cry.
"By the way, I remember that you seemed to have a research project on dragon slime before. How is that going?"
While walking, Anvis suddenly remembered an experiment related to reproductive isolation that he had mentioned before.
"Well, the research progress is very good. I experimented with many kinds of slimes and finally found a special slime mother that can withstand the dragon's germ cells and successfully carry the division of the dragon's characteristics.
After extracting the special life fragments from its body and merging them with ordinary slimes, I obtained the first successful experimental subjects, such as my cute little Bessie. "
As he spoke, he poked the little green slime above his head. The latter shivered and seemed very happy with this interaction.
"But, Avis, why do you suddenly ask about this project?"
After interacting with her little pet, Becky was a little curious about Anvis's reaction.
"Nothing, those strangers should like this."
Glancing at him, Avis was thoughtful.
Gu Gu, something went wrong during the day, so I can only send Gu Gu today at night.
