Since the level of the user of this crystal isn’t necessarily at its best when it’s higher, her low level isn’t considered a disadvantage. Instead, her advantage as a forr rcenary who’ve battled on the battlefield for a long ti becos apparent. Whether it’s the intent to kill or fighting spirit, she won’t lack any. Perhaps she can master this skill that is strong even in the blue grade, adding another probability of winning for the exchange match in a month?
However, although Lin Guang is a student of the key class at the Experintal School and has discounts and fast-track channels for loans, it might still take a week or two after the review is completed.
If it’s really impossible, borrow so money from Wang Dawei?
Seems feasible.
Seeing Lin Guang in deep thought with an excited look already showing on her face, Hu Tuzhi suddenly asked, "Lin Guang, do you have an idea about this skill crystal?"
Coming back to his senses, Lin Guang looked at Hu Tuzhi strangely, not understanding his aning.
He thought for a mont and said, "Indeed, I’m a bit moved. I want my partner to try whether she can master this skill."
"Then I’ll pay for this money for you." Hu Tuzhi spoke shockingly and took out a bank card from his pocket as though he rehearsed it countless tis in his mind, "Let’s consider it as my compensation to you."
"???"
Fu Fuyou’s tiger eyes widened, full of question marks. It’s the first ti he saw an Interdiate Researcher pleasing a high school student like this. Could it be one of the young masters from the Huai family?
Not to ntion the burly man, even Lin Guang was stunned.
But he quickly recovered, frowned, and said, "Professor Hu, I indeed want this crystal, but it’s not that I can’t afford it. There’s no need for you to do this."
Despite Hu Tuzhi’s poor acting skills, his thought process was still normal. He knew Lin Guang had doubts but persisted, "Lin Guang, I’ll pay first, and after buying it, let’s find a place to chat. If, after our conversation, you really don’t want to accept my compensation, it’s fine to return the money to . I won’t make things difficult for you."
"???"
Fu Fuyou’s head was filled with even more question marks.
Looking at the resolute Hu Tuzhi, Lin Guang pondered for a mont and looked at Vishdair: "Do you feel any malice from him?"
"Hmm?" She was stunned for a mont and then shrugged, "No. Of course, this is just my personal feeling."
"Then I’ll go and have a chat with him."
Lin Guang nodded. He could feel that Hu Tuzhi’s attitude was resolute, and rejecting might mostly be useless.
...
Although he was intensely curious, Fu Fuyou still diligently guided the two to a business soundproof cabin, similar to those private karaoke rooms placed in malls in Lin Guang’s past life, transparent, blocked only the sound. Because fewer people ca to shop on this level, and those who did have relatively high status, many of these were placed around.
On the way, Lin Guang secretly turned on the recording function of his phone. Although he vaguely felt that Hu Tuzhi had no malice, he still needed to take necessary precautions.
With the transparent glass door closed, the sounds of people and beast roars in the mall were isolated.
Taking a deep breath, Hu Tuzhi’s eyes seed to have grown much firr, and he spoke in a low voice:
"Lin Guang, you should have guessed that after yesterday’s event concluded, I did indeed inquire about so of your information from the father of your classmate, and then searched related to your parents in the public database of the researchers."
"If this offends you, I truly apologize."
"That’s fine."
Lin Guang remained indifferent, because public data can be accessed by anyone and does not breach any laws.
Hu Tuzhi continued, "Although I didn’t find your parents’ specific research direction, there is indeed a tag for specializing in Water Spirit Beasts."
"In the forty-plus years since the White Phoenix Parrot ca into human view, none of the scholars studying it has laid eyes on the Spiritual Elent."
"Your parents, with special emphasis on Water Spirit Beasts, might coincidentally discover that the White Phoenix Parrot can master Spiritual Skills. I guess they’ve probably witnessed it firsthand."
"For example, they might have personally seen the White Phoenix Parrot using Spiritual Skills in the wild, or even seen the form it evolves into along this route, leading them to establish their research direction."
He took a deep breath, excitent almost overflowing from his eyes: "Hence, I speculate that the data left by your parents may not just contain thods for the White Phoenix Parrot to learn Spiritual Skills, but also information about its evolution conditions, evolution thod, and docuntation from the initial observations."
"..."
Lin Guang gazed at Hu Tuzhi, without saying anything.
Aside from the fact of "research results of his parents," Hu Tuzhi’s speculation was almost accurate. Lin Guang indeed shot first and drew the target later, and he indeed knew the conditions and material for the formal two-stage evolution of the White Phoenix Parrot.
He needed to think about how to respond.
Moreover, Hu Tuzhi was obviously not soone easy to fool like Wang Dawei. Without understanding his purpose, saying too much would only bring errors.
At this mont, Hu Tuzhi paused, slightly pursing his lips, seed to be weighing his words, and finally spoke after a while: "Regardless, I would wish to know the normal evolution thod of the White Phoenix Parrot as quickly as possible. In other words, I want to have a look at your parent’s research."
He gazed at Lin Guang with a face as stern as Ouyang Wei the class teacher, which was now almost with a pleading expression: "If the research is not completed, I can deploy resources to help you conduct experints. I can share my research materials, my na doesn’t need to appear on the paper, I can even sign a confidentiality agreent, and do all these special Spiritual Contract guarantees to ensure no leakage!"
"And this skill crystal involves no interest distribution, it’s rely a personal gift from myself."
"I only hope you can agree to ."
From his words and deanor, Lin Guang can feel that Hu Tuzhi is genuinely and significantly earnest about this—he seems quite urgent addressing this matter.
To be honest, the data of the White Phoenix Parrot ranked not at all highly within his mind’s "foresight," as long as Hu Tuzhi had no intentions regarding him personally, the worst scenario would not result in any substantial loss to him.
This made Lin Guang completely relax, though still sowhat puzzled.
Hu Tuzhi’s reasons for such action certainly have his needs.
Originally, Lin Guang thought he was eager to advance on the researcher path, therefore hurriedly wanting to seize his research data.
But as Hu Tuzhi said, once the confidentiality agreent is signed and under the constraints of the Spiritual Contract, it is impossible to accumulate points for promotion to Senior Researcher with these research results, nor could it be disclosed to others.
Then what exactly is his gain?
Pure satisfaction to quench thirst for knowledge?
"At this point, I’ll not hide it from you anymore, Lin Guang."
