Chapter 497 Yutong is a “job change tool”?
Chapter 497 Yutong is a “job change tool”?
Seeing Lin Yi's face getting weirder and weirder, as if he had a trough ready to burst, Lu Zhao didn't understand why Lin Yi didn't even know such simple common sense as "ores carry extraordinary power", but he quickly explained: "I'm just making an analogy... and in reality, it doesn't mean that rare ores must contain extraordinary power, but that substances containing extraordinary power are more likely to turn into ores over time."
Minerals... contain extraordinary powers? Lin Yi narrowed his eyes. This was a novel concept that suddenly piqued his interest.
But he didn't think it was so outrageous. After experiencing so many outrageous things, it seemed that even the most outrageous things had become normal.
Besides, there are traces of this.
Otherwise, why would units contaminated by supernatural powers turn into "stone"?
Sculptures, nocturnal species, etc., in a certain form, aren’t they all stone?
A stone that holds extraordinary power...
ore……
Lin Yi suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind. This inspiration was related to some very subtle things and logic, but he was unable to sort it out for a while.
"But..." Lin Yi said slowly, "If the jade in your hand is a 'spiritual stone', then isn't the one in my hand also a 'spiritual stone'? What do you want by exchanging spiritual stones for spiritual stones?"
Lu Zhao said: "Although both contain extraordinary power, there are still differences between the spirit stones."
"Mine is better?" Lin Yi asked.
If mine is not good, why would you exchange it with me?
But if mine is better, why should I give it to you?
Lu Zhao, on the other hand, was not anxious. He was not afraid of Lin Yi asking, but was afraid that Lin Yi would not ask. So he said, "It is actually difficult to have a clear standard to define who is better and who is worse. We can only use dialectical thinking to measure it."
"In my opinion, the stone in your hand has great research value for me, so I want to exchange it for it."
"But, I don't have any resources that can satisfy you right now, so I can only exchange with you the materials I have that are relatively close in value."
Lu Zhao is not good at socializing, but his logic is very clear.
The most powerful way to persuade is to talk about value to oneself instead of material value.
Your things are very good, and my things are not bad either. Although mine are very valuable, yours are more valuable to me now.
As for whether it is valuable to you when it is in your hands, how can I know?
In other words, he is really good at lying. He uses his own logic to form a sophistry, and then uses his simple appearance and sincere tone to cover up the atmosphere of sophistry.
Lin Yi knew very well in his heart that only when Lu Zhao was clear and organized could he be "persuaded" more easily. Otherwise, I would have to be ignored if I were to cooperate with you in the performance...
Lin Yi listened very carefully, and then asked "subconsciously": "It seems that your jade is really good..."
Lu Zhao quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Of course, compared to your stone, the extraordinary power contained in my jade is more stable. If I can find a master of secret patterns to polish it, I can fully guide the extraordinary power in it."
Lin Yi couldn't help but complain in his heart. Could it be that the so-called master of secret patterns was making jade artifacts?
Of course, there was no surprise on his face, but he looked humble, eager to learn, and patient in listening. He actually knew a lot about Yu Tong, but he really wanted to know something about stones like jade. Lu Zhao's words just gave him the opportunity to learn more.
But if the only difference was in the content of the extraordinary power, he would still be quite disappointed.
Because the difference in extraordinary power can be easily measured by his perception.
Up to now, the only piece of information he got from Lu Zhao was that minerals can carry extraordinary powers, just as certain substances can turn into ashes, and by carving this kind of stone, the extraordinary power in it can be made stronger.
Similar to...the secret matrix.
Seeing that Lin Yi seemed to be thinking about something, Lu Zhao thought that Lin Yi was thinking about whether to exchange or not, so he waited with some anticipation.
Lin Yi was actually thinking about what else he could ask.
Obtaining information is a technical job, and it must be smooth, natural and leave no trace. Otherwise, the traces will be too obvious, making people feel uncomfortable and thus arousing suspicion.
Especially when facing Lu Zhao, a man whose logical thinking seems to be not simple.
Lin Yi reached into his glove pocket, took out the feather pupil, placed it in front of him and played with it curiously.
When he saw Lin Yi pinching Yu Tong with his bare hands, Lu Zhao's expression changed slightly and he stepped back a little without leaving a trace.
"Actually, I don't really care about what you said. If a secret pattern master was really that easy to find, you wouldn't just carry a piece of raw stone with you, right?" Lin Yi looked at Lu Zhao with a sneer.
Lu Zhao smiled but said nothing, but in fact he did feel a little guilty. There were of course Secret Pattern Masters in the organization, but if he went to the Secret Pattern Masters for everything, it would be a waste of his talent.
"Mr. Xiao, I think you misunderstood one thing." Lu Zhao shook his head slightly and continued, "Currency is just a number used to measure the value of things. When separated from society, only things that are truly valuable can be called currency, such as... the stones in your and my hands."
"And what I am doing is not 'buying', but 'bartering' in primitive society."
"Let me explain it more clearly. The jade in my hand can be exchanged for currency at any bank when you leave the campus. But the stone in your hand can only be appraised by some special pawnshops. Even... I don't think you have the qualifications to take it out of the campus. Oh no, I can't say qualifications, but the power."
"You can't take it with you."
"Instead of taking risks, why not choose an emerald that can actually be converted into cash? After all, you all came to the campus for the bounty, right? This emerald must be worth more than thirty thousand."
Lu Zhao slowly handed the jadeite to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then he looked relieved. Yes, in a place like campus where you don't need to spend any money, what is the use of currency?
It is indeed better to bring a piece of jade with you to get things done. Ah bah bah bah, what a fool... He almost got fooled. The transaction was just an excuse. Why the hell did he take it seriously while chatting? !
His purpose was just to use the feather pupil to exchange for certain information. As for the jadeite, that kind of thing was of no use to him at all...
"Huh... why do I feel that jade is useless?" Lin Yi's mind twitched again. He was a little confused. Wasn't it for the money? How come something that could be cashed in came and he felt it was useless?
Oh, oh, oh! That's right! He realized that the reason why he thought the jade was useless was because the extraordinary power contained in the jade was very small. With his current ability to use extraordinary power, wouldn't it be easy to inject some extraordinary power into the stone?
If stones like that are valuable, then wouldn't he be a human money printing machine?
He didn't expect that supernatural powers were so valuable outside!
No! Wait...is the outside world still the society he is familiar with?
Lin Yi's mind was spinning, and he felt his memory becoming more and more confused.
Thirty thousand in seven days...
currency……
and many more……
Why is the image of currency in his mind the RMB?
Hiss, wait a little longer...
Shouldn’t currency be RMB?
Wait a minute...why...why did my mind suddenly go blank again?!
Lin Yi was shocked, he had been talking about thirty thousand in seven days before, but when he really needed to think about currency, he couldn't remember anything!
"Student Xiao? Student Xiao? Are you okay?" Lu Zhao saw that Lin Yi's expression changed a little, and didn't know what happened to Lin Yi this time. However, when he thought of Lin Yi's feat of crushing the dead body of the statue of the eerie laughing angel, he became alert to Lin Yi in his heart. Now, of course, he said words of concern, but in fact, he secretly took Chen Xue and took half a step back.
Hearing this, Lin Yi quickly recovered and said, "Okay... I'll give you the stone and give me the jade."
After saying that, he didn't care about anything else and threw Yutong over.
"Fuck?!" Lu Zhao was startled and jumped away screaming. Chen Xue quickly took off her coat, wrapped up the feather pupil and held it aside.
A strange scene appeared. When Chen Xue's coat touched Yu Tong, Yu Tong began to release terrible waves in all directions like a beast out of a cage.
"Buzz——"
With Yutong as the center, an invisible vortex seemed to appear, and the space was pulled into wrinkles. Chen Xue's body outline was also distorted, and there was a tendency for her to be pulled and sucked into the vortex.
That picture looked very much like the masked Obito when he was using Kamui to pull someone.
"This is... not good?!" Lu Zhao cried out in horror, and quickly shouted, "Quick! Throw it away, quick!"
"I, I can't lose it! I can't lose it..." Chen Xue tried to shake her arms, but after Yu Tong was wrapped in the coat, it seemed to have merged the coat and Chen Xue's arms into a whole. The extraordinary power turned into a strong pollution and spread directly along the coat!
Chen Xue was restrained by this extraordinary power, and there was a trend of "grabbing it and refining it in an instant"!
However, Lin Yi on the other side was reaching out to take the jadeite from Lu Zhao's hand, when he suddenly saw Lu Zhao screaming and jumping away, and his brows immediately frowned.
I guess you want to rob your fellow thieves?!
He was very unhappy, but soon discovered that Chen Xue was in trouble.
However, the scene that Lu Zhao and Chen Xue saw was completely different. In Lin Yi's eyes, a completely different scene was happening.
Distortion of space? Whirlpool-like wrinkles? Divine-like emptiness and suction?
In Lin Yi's eyes, none of them existed.
Of course, there are things that exist - when Chen Xue took off her coat and wrapped the feather pupil, Lin Yi saw the feather pupil tremble slightly, and then, the feather pupil released invisible silk threads in all directions like a spider silk launcher.
The texture of the thread was exactly the same as the frame-like secret pattern that Lin Yi observed on the surface of the angel sculpture in the twisted layer!
"When the body of the sculpture of the Laughing Angel shattered, its own 'frame' was stored in its feather pupils?" Lin Yi showed a surprised look.
He observed the secret pattern in Yu Pupil, and he also knew that this secret pattern carried a large amount of extraordinary power. He actually didn't understand why this power was so violent, why Yu Pupil did not go out of control, and why it could still maintain the material manifestation of the sphere.
He also knew that Lu Zhao came to him to trade just to get Yutong and study the power within it, and he had already seen through all of this, so he deliberately acted and exchanged a wave of information.
But he never expected that although he got some information and gave it to Yu Tong, Lu Zhao and Chen Xue couldn't catch it!
The originally "stable" Yutong went berserk once she left him.
The secret pattern continued to unfold like a nanorobot, and covered Chen Xue's forearm in an instant - since it was like this, she naturally couldn't get rid of it!
Lu Zhao quickly handed the jadeite to Lin Yi and said anxiously, "Xiao, the jadeite is for you! We don't want the stone anymore, take it away! Take it away now!"
"Ah?" Lin Yi returned and immediately walked towards Chen Xue and grabbed Chen Xue's forearm.
The magical thing was that when his palm grabbed Chen Xue's arm, the originally active and restless secret pattern frame retreated like ice and snow suddenly illuminated by fire, and shrank back into the feather pupil in the blink of an eye.
And Yu Tong, which was originally trembling slightly, once again turned into a stone ball without any movement.
Lin Yi silently took out Yu Tong from his coat, held it in his hand and began to observe it...
There's a story behind this thing, it's fucking hidden beauty!
A sentence suddenly emerged in his mind: [Anyone who inherits the power of an angel will eventually become the phantom of an angel! ]
As long as it is not completely destroyed, it will become a breeding ground for new Laughing Angels!
A flash of light passed through Lin Yi's mind, as if the clouds had been cleared and the sun had appeared. He suddenly realized that if there was a sequence for the Laughing Angel in the mysterious genealogy, then regardless of what other paths said, this Yu Tong must be the "job transfer item" that is necessary for the Laughing Angel path!
In Western fantasy stories made up in the West, or in the East, there are often lizard-shaped dragons that pass down memories. This feather pupil may be something similar. When a laughing angel dies, some of its "framework codes" are retained in the feather pupil. The next person who obtains the feather pupil can use it to step into the path of the laughing angel.
Lin Yi guessed that this was at least the general trend.
Of course, Yu Tong’s birth was not so simple, there must be some hidden conditions that Lin Yi didn’t know about;
Lin Yi didn't know what kind of person could use Yutong to step into the path of the Laughing Angel, what conditions were required, and whether they were harsh or easy.
He only had a rough guess as to the direction.
However, his intuition told him that the strange laughing angel created in this way might be somewhat different from the ordinary strange laughing angel.
