Chapter 784: Chapter 784
Olson said, "I'm very interested in that black eye you summoned when you sparred with Zefer. If you're willing to teach me the summoning technique, I can offer you any spell, or knowledge I possess, or anything I own. Of course..."
He paused and unexpectedly laughed, "You can't have my most worn magic robe, my most used spell emblem, or my daughter."
This statement caused everyone around to laugh.
According to rumors, Olson was very indulgent towards his only daughter.
Bai Fu did not laugh along.
She was seriously considering Olson's proposal.
The Sorrowful Eye was not her trump card, so trading it with Olson was definitely worth it. After all, Olson was Super Supreme II, with power comparable to Annihilation and Chong Xiao. Any of the knowledge, spells, or collections he had could be highly coveted.
What Bai Fu was conflicted about was what she should ask Olson for.
A skill to enhance the endurance of Spirit Blessing?
She could just use a Copy Card to replicate it, so it's unnecessary.
Spiritual Ability Cutting-Edge Knowledge?
She could accumulate points and exchange them for this from the Empire in the subsequent exploration plan, so it's also unnecessary.
An item to reduce the dragonification activity of the Void Dragon Potion?
This can also be requested from the Empire, or she could even offer a price that cannot be refused for it.
After thinking it over, Bai Fu realized there were only two things she currently lacked.
One was an advanced skill, and the other was Void Resonance Consciousness.
The former could directly increase her power, and the latter would allow her to quickly unlock Fei Ye, Fei Ye's sister, Lupus, and the next phase of a series of tasks related to the Void. The rewards for this task were substantial, so completing it quickly would be very profitable.
Let's try this first.
Bai Fu stated her request: "I want to exchange for Void Resonance Consciousness. Does the Curse Master have it?"
"Void Resonance Consciousness?" Olson furrowed his brow, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "I do, but it will take some time, about half a month. How about that?"
Bai Fu readily agreed.
She did not intend to return immediately after coming to the Empire but planned to establish a Dark Moon Tide office here to coordinate tasks with the people from the Empire, so she wouldn't have to run back and forth worried about information being stolen by the Mechanic.
Now she could build the office while waiting for Olson.
After finishing the deal, Olson's gaze turned to Julia.
Olson said, "Your talent is very rare. If possible, I'd like to take you on as my last disciple."
Wow, you want to poach my people?
She's my number one assistant, my main wife, my caring little cotton coat. No way!
Julia was in tune with Bai Fu and immediately declined. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel★fire.net
She understood that her secrets shouldn't be casually revealed to others.
Besides, she didn't need a teacher; leveling up by consuming Spiritual Ability Crystal Stones was sufficient, and Bai Fu never let her starve in this regard. When encountering something she couldn't comprehend, she could always ask Bai Fu, who never disappointed her.
Compared to an ordinary teacher, Bai Fu could also fulfill her... Ahem, these matters were best kept to oneself, no need to tell others.
Olson felt regret but said nothing more.
After sending Olson away, Aleksey, who had the highest affinity, also came to greet Bai Fu.
Aleksey wasn't there to talk about cooperation but to build a relationship with Bai Fu, indicating that they were both in the freelance or private armed industry and should support each other in the future for big opportunities.
Bai Fu smiled and nodded, having one more friend in her line of work was definitely not excessive.
"Boss, since when did you become so awesome?"
After the meeting, in the Mobile Palace, An Ya looked at Bai Fu with admiration.
"Your boss has always been this awesome."
Bai Fu smiled proudly.
This sudden move has thoroughly helped her make a name for herself, bringing many benefits but also not insignificant potential risks.
The reaction of Titan Industry was uncertain, but the Supernova Battle Group would surely become increasingly hostile towards her, so she had to be cautious in the future.
"It's necessary to move the headquarters from Ulysses to somewhere else."
About this, Whitney strongly suggested moving the headquarters directly into the Empire.
But considering the exploration plan, and the subsequent conflicts among the three Cosmic Level Civilizations and the Apostle Holy City, Bai Fu rejected it.
Moving to the Empire would require spending more time sending people to the Dark Domain, so she'll observe the situation further.
In the following days, Bai Fu swiftly built the new office.
Meanwhile, the Empire also reached a preliminary consensus on discussions regarding the Apostle Holy City.
A new Cosmic Level Civilization was discovered; it was an issue that could not be ignored. Rather than waiting for the enemy to attack, it's better to take the initiative.
To facilitate the exploration plan better, the Empire decided to employ more forces in the Edge World.
However, the Empire did not intend, at this time, to start a war with the Supernova Battle Group or Titan Industry, so it already sent envoys to discuss a new treaty with the other two parties, which might end the Tem Civilization Civil War.
Whitney told her that this intelligence was crucial, and she must maximize her contribution before the war ends, so she'll benefit more when this main storyline concludes.
After a few more days, Bai Fu finally awaited Olson's arrival.
Olson, as promised, brought the Void Resonance Consciousness she wanted, along with his daughter, and...
Bai Fu widened her eyes in surprise.
She noticed on Olson's daughter the skill she had been longing for, which extended burst time.
[Blessing Specialization Lv1]: The duration of blessing type Spiritual Ability Skills is extended by 50%.
Moreover, other skills and talent effects on Olson's daughter were also excellent, all being various passive bonuses.
The damn Old Man had a daughter blessed all over, huh?
Bai Fu turned to look at Olson, who was eagerly pondering the summoning method of the Sorrowful Eye.
Your daughter's amazing, oh, no, what I meant was your daughter's skills and talents are amazing!
No matter, I'll just... get close and copy!
Bai Fu eagerly approached Olson's daughter.
Olson immediately grew wary.
Having lived for hundreds of years, he instantly sensed that Bai Fu's gaze was off, and then remembered some rumors related to Bai Fu's romantic interests.
My daughter is your fan, she deliberately came to see you, what's your intent with my daughter?
While waiting for the Copy Card to load, Bai Fu noticed Olson's gaze.
Hey, what's with that look? Do I look like someone who likes to eat friedrice?
Copying a few skills won't lose her clothes, she'll just go ahead and copy. Next time, if she gets a new Copy Card, she'll come back to copy more!
Under Olson's glare, Bai Fu left, satisfied.
"Next time, big sister will come to visit you again."
Better not come again!
After the transaction with Olson ended, Bai Fu bid farewell to Whitney and headed straight for the Star Contract Initial Gate branch.
She was eager to use the Void Resonance Consciousness to awaken Fei Ye's sister's consciousness, to understand what Lupus had been up to.
While she was on the way, the story of her beating Zefer in the Void Realm Research Association gradually spread.
Though Zefer tried to hide it as much as possible, others in the research association still leaked it as a juicy piece of gossip.
Zefer's face was ghastly, yet he could do nothing but watch himself become Bai Fu's stepping stone.
[Bai Fu is actually this powerful?]
[Kade's loss was justified.]
[More than justified, he should count himself lucky that Bai Fu is a reasonable person who needed concrete evidence before acting against him. If someone else had this power, they'd have beaten him to a pulp long ago.]
"Another heavy boost to reputation, praise be to Saint Fasi!"
Bai Fu giggled as she arrived at the Star Contract Initial Gate branch.
"What's making you so happy?"
Having not seen Bai Fu for a long time, upon seeing her, Fei Ye immediately walked with a lighter step.
Bai Fu took out the Void Resonance Consciousness: "I got something good, it can awaken the consciousness of your sister who is asleep within you."
Fei Ye was shocked, entirely unprepared for such a development.
She had felt guilty for many years over her sister's death. It was only after Bai Fu came along that she began to emerge from that oppressive feeling.
"Then let's get started!"
Bai Fu followed the item description and used Void Resonance Consciousness on Fei Ye.
