CHAPTER 488: CHAPTER 6 COOPERATION

After years of continuous war, the players’ strength grew exponentially, and their influence on this world reached an undeniable extent.

The most straightforward reflection of this was the additional independent elective faction at Pamir Academy this year - Alien Studies.

This discipline specifically focuses on researching matters related to the foreigners, which includes subdivisions such as the existence forms of the foreigners, analyses of their behavioral patterns, mysteries of their resurrection, and the sunken Fourth Continent.

Regarding the true identity of these foreigners, there is much speculation within the Magic World, among which the most influential perspective is: the existence of foreigners is actually a vast anomaly that envelops the entire world.

Only this hypothesis could explain the other party’s seemly inexplicable undying nature.

When this elective subject opened, many interested students joined, including numerous offspring from the Empire’s top noble families.

"You must be running low on funds recently, Becki? For your project, I would actually consider making an investment." Becki observed carefully, a small Slime on top of his head, and then Anvis suddenly spoke.

Although initially rejecting the project instinctively, since the other party had already produced results, he didn’t mind setting aside his prejudices and instead looked for ways to utilize this ’miracle of life’.

Hearing Anvis’s words, Becki paused, then immediately showed astonishment.

"Are you serious, Lord Anvis? How would you like to collaborate?"

"How about this, Becki, I can provide you with three hundred thousand Gold Coins or equivalent other resources. In return, you need to provide me with the complete formulation method for the Giant Dragon Slime, as well as ten finished Giant Dragon Slimes.

If there are other results thereafter, you can also report them to me, and I will convert them into corresponding Gold Coins and resources based on the value of the results.

However, without my authorization, you cannot disclose any information about this project in any way, nor can you sell or gift the formulation method and finished products related to this project to anyone else."

After pretending to consider for a while, Anvis stared into Becki’s eyes and stated his terms.

He had looked into Becki’s background. He was born in the Royal Capital in the Bernou Family and was the Earl of Bernou’s seventeenth son.

The reason Becki chose the Mystical School was simple: his father could not afford to send him to other popular schools.

The admission qualifications of Pamir Academy are not easy to come by; Becki’s magical talent was considered above average in a city known for its geniuses, but with dozens of other children to nurture, the Earl of Bernou couldn’t afford to invest too much in him alone.

"Oh..."

Upon hearing Anvis’s words, Becki immediately hesitated.

Three hundred thousand Gold Coins was not a small amount; it was enough to support a Sixth Rank peak professional in conducting a significant magical experiment or to support a medium-scale local war.

Compared to Anvis who was a descendant of Duke Karlars, his background was quite ordinary. With this money, he could fully fund several new experimental projects he had in mind.

But agreeing to Anvis’s terms would mean selling the entire Giant Dragon Slime project to him. If further explored, that project could potentially bring him much greater benefits.

"...I’m sorry, Anvis, I cannot agree to your terms, maybe propose another?"

In the end, the green-haired youth regretfully shook his head, struggling to refuse Anvis’s offer.

"Is that so?"

Anvis nodded indifferently.

"What if I raise the price to four hundred thousand?"

"This... four hundred thousand Gold Coins... even then..."

Becki’s throat bobbed, his forehead slightly sweating. Staring at the calm expression on Anvis’s face, he was internally torn.

The fact that the other party was willing to offer four hundred thousand indicated that he valued the project far beyond that amount. How could he so casually sell the project just because the offer was increased?

"Five hundred thousand Gold Coins, this will be my final offer."

"Alright, it’s a pleasure to do business."

The two shook hands lightly.

Well, out with the old, in with the new.

"Then, when shall we start the transaction?"

As the deal between them was concluded, Anvis took out a contract, wrote the main content, and upon confirmation by both parties with their seals, the power of the contract enveloped them both.

"Concerning the detailed process of forming the Giant Dragon Slime, I can give it to you now, but for the finished products, I will need seven days to cultivate them."

Becki took out a Crystal Ball, pressed it against his forehead for a moment, then took it off and passed it to Anvis.

"This is the formulation information, including my experimental log; you can study it closely."

Accepting the Crystal Ball from Becki, Anvis looked at the Slime atop his head, suddenly recalling a question.

"By the way, have you ever used humanoid creatures in your experiments?"

"I’ve only tried winged-humanoid hosts; the results were pretty good. The baby Slime that emerged was visually similar to the host, but due to its special gel-like body structure, it couldn’t fly."

Becki nodded, not hiding anything.

"However, with this new funding, I think I might try experiments on other races."

"...Do your best, as for the resources, someone will take care of delivering them to you."

After getting the answer, Anvis turned and left, no longer paying attention to the excited Becki alone.

He had purchased the Giant Dragon Slimes to offer a new specialty product to his Chamber of Commerce and affiliated camps within his faction’s stores.

As long as the chosen hosts are good, the Slimes, transformed by assimilating other creatures’ attributes, should make excellent pets.

Additionally, considering the diverse tastes of players, it would be best to enhance these Slimes’ ability to split and reproduce, not just limiting it to females, allowing males to also become carriers of genetic information.

At the same time, upon his return, he discovered that in the past year and half since he formed it, the Secret Ceremony Society which he had always nurtured, had now grown into a force that could not be ignored.

With the colossal amount of various resources Anvis brought back upon his return, the foundation of the Secret Ceremony Society was truly solidified.

Only now could the Secret Ceremony Society be genuinely called a High Rank power.

Previously, due to Anvis’s persistence in forming the Secret Ceremony Society against other’s advice, which brought him labels like whimsical and bizarre, he was now suddenly seen as far-sighted, catching those who intended to mock him off guard.

At the same time, they also began to wonder if Anvis had grasped some patterns in the behaviors of the foreigners.
