"Is this the joy of the power of Iron Man and Batman?”
Seeing Gu Yiyang stop, Zhang Yan smiled inwardly.
This was completely within his expectations.
Unless Gu Yiyang could see through the King Carp's talent like him, he had no reason to refuse.
The Dragon Scale was a necessary tool for the Sea Spike Dragon to evolve into the Spike Dragon King, just like how the Duck Beak Fire Dragon needed the Lava Amplification Device to evolve into the Duck Beak Flame Dragon.
However, unlike the Lava Amplification Device, which could be artificially created but was costly to manufacture, the Dragon Scale was a rare and precious Dragon Elf. It could only be shed after one's strength had reached a certain level.
According to the Alliance's official price, the Dragon Scale was 500,000 Alliance dollars and 50 Merit Points.
The price was the same as the Lava Amplification Device, but the Merit Points had almost doubled.
And to Zhang Yan's father, Zhang Ye, he could not even afford the Lava Amplification Device, let alone the Dragon's Scales to Gu Yiyang.
Under normal circumstances, it was an item that he would never be able to reach in his entire life.
Unlike Zhang Ye's Duck Beak Fire Dragon, which had reached the Elite Level, the Sea Spike Dragon was only at the Advanced Level.
This meant that even if the Sea Spike Dragon had the fortuitous encounter that Zhang Ye had, it might not be able to make an exception and advance to the Low-Level Elite stage.
Furthermore, Zhang Ye was able to obtain a fortuitous encounter because his trump card was not the Duck Beak Fire Dragon, but a Wind Speed Dog that had already reached the Low-Level Elite stage.
To obtain a fortuitous encounter, one had to have the ability.
However, if Gu Yiyang could not evolve the Sea Spike Dragon, he would not have such strength.
Unless a dragon scale fell from the sky.
Of course, Gu Yiyang could also choose to nurture a new sprite. If its aptitude reached the elite level, there might be a chance in the future.
But how long would that take?
It also depended on luck.
It was not a good thing that Gu Yiyang had gotten a King Carp with the potential of a Heavenly King.
The King Carp's evolved Violent Carp Dragon was a violent elf. No matter how well the trainer treated it in the early stages, it would still cause trouble after it evolved.
Gu Yiyang had to have the strength to subdue the Violent Carp Dragon. Otherwise, Old Spit would occasionally treat the stupid thing like it did in the early stages. It was still a light punishment if it was disobedient. When it became irritable, it would directly bite the trainer.
In comparison, obtaining a Dragon Scale now would immediately allow the Sea Spike Dragon to evolve into a Spike Dragon King, and its strength would reach the Low-Level Elite Rank.
Although the Thorn Dragon King was an awkward pentagonal warrior, he still had dragon attributes and was worth nurturing.
Moreover, his overall talent was even above the three Yu families.
His strength had increased by several times!
Gu Yiyang could also be certified as a professional trainer.
This would be beneficial for him to obtain resources in the university, and it would be easier for him to get ahead in the competition.
One step faster, one step faster!
Should he have a King Carp with a minimum aptitude of high level, or a Thorny Dragon King that was about to evolve?
Zhang Yan believed that if Gu Yiyang was not an idiot, he should be able to make the right choice.
"You can provide dragon scales?" Gu Yiyang's expression changed as he asked.
He had already made his choice.
"Use this blank ball to subdue the King Carp first, then we can talk.”
Zhang Yan didn't rush to answer. Instead, he threw an unbound sprite ball to Gu Yiyang.
If the King Carp slipped away after coming back to his senses, it would be depressing.
He was satisfied with the King Carp's aptitude and personality, so he didn't want to miss it.
"Pa ~"
Gu Yiyang hesitated for a moment when he received the sprite ball. He did not use it immediately but placed it in front of the sprite guide.
This sprite illustrated handbook was a reward for his good performance in an inter-school competition during his university days.
It has the function of detecting whether the sprite ball is bound.
"Ding!"
After confirming that there was no mistake, Gu Yiyang subdued the King Carp with the Spirit Ball and said,""I'm sorry."
Zhang Yan knew what he was referring to. He shrugged and said,""Being cautious is a good thing."
"Even a high-grade King Carp is worth tens of thousands.”
The difference between an Advanced and an Elite-level sprite of the same species was dozens of times!
"Thank you for your understanding." Gu Yiyang heaved a sigh of relief and said,""You can take out dragon scales?"
"Would you believe me if I said I could take it out?”Zhang Yan asked with a smile.
Gu Yiyang shook his head and said seriously,"Even if it's Captain Zhang Ye's promise, I don't believe it."”
Obviously, Gu Yiyang recognized Zhang Yan.
But this was inevitable.
After all, Menas was too representative.
As for Yukira, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Yan hid well for the time being.
Gu Yiyang's distrust was not because of his character, but because of his ability.
Merit points were really something that would cause people to die from drought or flood.
"So persuasion won't work."
Zhang Yan smiled and took out his holographic communication device.
This high-tech technology had long existed in this world, but it was very expensive and ordinary people could not afford it.
"Ding ~"
The communication was quickly connected, and a holographic 3D image of half a person appeared.
Gu Yiyang instantly recognized the other party's identity, and his pupils constricted.
"Researcher Hu Ren!"
"Hello, young man!" Hu Ren warmly greeted Gu Yiyang and then teased Zhang Ye,
"Why did you call me?”
"I'm curious. Why haven't you called me yet?”Zhang Yan asked with a smile. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Six days ago, he told Hu Ren not only a fake location where the fossil was found, but also the method for the ugly fish to evolve into Menas.
Otherwise, why would Hu Ren be so close to Zhang Yan and even be willing to buy the Lava Amplification Device for Zhang Yan at a fair price?
It was all because Zhang Yan had shown his value.
Of course, Zhang Yan wasn't a philanthropist. He told Hu Ren the method to evolve the ugly fish into Menas to maximize the benefits.
First of all, he considered that the matter of subduing the ugly fish and letting it evolve into Menas was done in the research institute. It could not be hidden for long.
When Hu Ren did the variable research, he might not be able to find the answer.
Secondly, no one would believe him if he told them the evolution method of the ugly fish. It was just that this news could not be sold.
Releasing it for free would only get people to say a few good words about it, and there would be no substantial benefits.
Whether it was to become a researcher or to charge for information, one had to publish a complete thesis, not just a simple result.
Thesis required a large amount of data, theoretical knowledge, and professional terms.
Zhang Yan didn't know how to do this!
Even if he did, he wouldn't publish the thesis himself.
This was because the first and second names of the thesis would receive the same benefits.
If he did it himself, it would be time-consuming and laborious. If others did it, they would benefit from it.
The difference was that the other party was also benefiting from it.
However, it could also make the other party owe him a huge favor.
Therefore, Zhang Yan did this.
He planned to 'train' Hu Ren into a tool.
He came up with the argument in a clever way and asked Hu Ren to do the data collection and summary after verifying it. Then, the two of them signed their names and published the paper together.
And he got the same Merit Points, upgraded his researcher level, Hu Ren's goodwill and connections, and the Alliance's purchasing channels.
Of course, Zhang Yan wouldn't be so foolish as to believe someone.
The evolution method of the ugly fish was considered a test, and he had also prepared a method to balance it.
If Hu Ren wanted to take it for himself, he wouldn't just wait for his death.
Currently, the situation was not bad.
He had been waiting for Hu Ren to finish his investigation of the fossil excavation site and come to talk to him in detail.
However, it had been six days, and there was still no call.
"Brat, what are you thinking?"
Hearing Zhang Yan's words, Hu Ren said with an ignorant expression,""The initial stage of developing a ruin would take at least half a month.”
"Regarding the matter of Menas, of course, there will be a delay.”
"Huh?"
Hearing Hu Ren's words, Zhang Yan felt that there was something wrong with his ears.
"You mean, develop the ruins?"
Are you sure it's not a search?
No, it was impossible to find him.
"Yes, the location you provided helped us. We found an ancient elven ruin.”
"Don't worry, I will ask the Alliance for your help.”
Hu Ren said with a radiant face.
If he found a relic in the Fu City, he might be able to make a name for himself in front of the world.
The benefits of this were immeasurable.
Zhang Yan was speechless.
Was my mouth blessed?
