[Cooldown till next Astral Projection: 16 hours in main body]
Zhou Jing skillfully set up the placement mode—mainly focusing on cultivating the breathing technique’s development before exiting the preparation space and returning to his main body.
Back in the main world.
The morning sun shone into the rented house, and dust floated in the light.
Zhou Jing’s eyelashes trembled as he opened his eyes.
He sat up and opened his main body’s ability library. Jason’s third enhancement ability appeared inside.
[Mutant Blood Warrior: Three enhancements (Golden Lightning Dragon)]
[Source of Ability: Jason·Wood (No. 002)]
[Conversion Cost: 3,000 Astral Points, 30 Information State Particles]
[Requirement: Astral Projector Rank Lv2]
“Not bad, not bad. As expected, the ability library has been refreshed at the same time.”
Zhou Jing was in a good mood and closed the interface.
He was not in a hurry to convert his new ability. The registration of the Supers had been completed, and he was waiting for the immigration spacecraft to set sail to a new planet to receive the Supers’ education. There was no use in increasing the strength of his main body now.
In any case, the results of the Eternal Apostle would not escape from the ability library, so there was no need to invest in it immediately.
In Zhou Jing’s opinion, converting the results of the Astral Apostle to his main body was the final benefit. Before that, using the Astral Points on the Apostle was better as it served as a long-term investment. Under the situation where his main body was stable, it was best to invest more.
He had a plan to create a new apostle, so he planned to save more astral points for the talent molding of a new apostle.
“Jason has already integrated into the Empire’s Hunters. He has time to develop and can slowly practice the Hunter’s Breathing Technique, so I’m not in a hurry to use Accelerated Learning for him. I’ll first place him to generate resources… As for what path the new apostle will take, I can think of something else.”
Zhou Jing slowly mapped out his route.
Currently, he could only come into contact with the Mutant Blood Warrior system. The new apostles might also have to take this route, but with Jason in front of him, there was no need to rush to enhance them.
The purpose of becoming a Mutant Blood Warrior was to obtain strength and quickly protect himself. Now that he had the protection in the form of Jason, the new apostle could consider some special routes and learn some skills.
“Now, my source of information is only from the hunter faction. The new apostles don’t have to be hunters, if they enter a new industry, they might be able to obtain special information at other levels and interact with different groups of people.”
Zhou Jing calculated for a while and had some ideas.
He put this matter aside for the time being and got up to wash up and eat. At the same time, he picked up his phone to check the news.
Last night, when he was “sleeping,” the Supers Bureau sent him a message. The approval of the assistant quota had been completed, and Zhang Xiao could go over to use the genetic potion today.
Currently, the only thing that could be bought was the Elementary Genetic Potion. The asking price was 250k Nassau. Compared to the value of the genetic potion itself, this was almost a cabbage price, but it was still a price that Zhou Jing could not afford.
However, Zhang Xiao had sent a message yesterday saying that he had already raised 370k Nassau and was still working hard to raise money.
According to the market price, an assistant slot could be sold for more than 5 million Nassaus on average. If someone were to bid for it, it was not impossible to reach tens of millions or even hundreds of millions… The 370,000 Nassaus was far from the market price.
Beep, beep, beep —
Just as Zhou Jing was thinking, his phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown caller.
He answered the call, but before he could speak, the other party spoke first.
“Hello, is this Zhou Jing?”
“Who are you?”
“I’m Zhang Xiao’s brother, Zhang Xing. This is our first time talking, right?”
“What can I do for you?”
Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes. He remembered that Zhang Xiao often mentioned this person. This was the true successor of his family’s business.
“It’s like this. I heard from Zhang Xiao that you plan to sell the assistant slot. I’m willing to pay eight million Nassaus for it, higher than the market price. I’ll also give Zhang Xiao two million Nassaus as compensation. What do you think?”
“… From what you’re saying, you want to replace him as my assistant?”
“I know that you and Zhang Xiao are friends, so I’m giving him some consideration. However, he won’t be able to make up the market price for the assistant spot. You’ll be at a disadvantage. Why don’t you sell the spot to me? I’ll talk to Zhang Xiao about it, and I won’t harm your friendship. He’ll understand…”
“Goodbye.”
Without waiting for him to finish, Zhou Jing hung up the phone.
It seemed that Zhang Xiao had already laid his cards on the table with his family. They were all from the same family, but if Zhang Xiao could not come out with enough money, this could only mean his family was unwilling to invest too much in him, and the important members of the family had their eyes on this spot.
If it was under normal circumstances, Zhang Xiao’s family would not be like this. Having another Super would only be beneficial, and they would also value him in the future.
However, Zhang Xiao had probably mentioned his plans to migrate with his three friends, so his family was unwilling to help him pay too much.
If he went to another planet, he would not be able to help his family. The investment would be wasted, and there would not be enough profits… If Zhang Xiao wanted to use his family’s money, he would probably have to agree not to emigrate.
Zhang Xiao was still raising money, which meant that he was still negotiating with his family.
Zhou Jing thought for a moment and called Zhang Xiao.
“Hello, Jing, what’s wrong?” Zhang Xiao answered the call and asked.
“How much money have you raised now?”
“Still only 370,000… Wait a little longer, I can get more…”
Zhang Xiao thought that Zhou Jing was rushing him to raise money.
He had recently fallen out with his family. His family’s money did not come from nowhere, and they did not want to invest five million Nassaus in a fellow who was preparing to emigrate.
As a younger generation on the fringe, he had no right to use his family’s funds.
If the benefits of being an assistant fell on the leader or successor, they would be willing to give him a lot of money for his sake.
