Chapter 813 - 240: Intruder_3
"Does this mean I can sell these kinds of items too?"
"Yes, there’s a dedicated acquisition person, directly from the Spiritual Ability Research Institute here. I’ll help you inquire later; what do you want to sell?"
"I haven’t decided yet, no rush. Can items bought with contribution points be resold externally?"
"If you’re short on money, you can indeed sell them. The website has introduced items with markings; marked items cannot be sold, selling them is a violation. But unmarked ones can be freely traded."
Bai Quan casually clicked on the page of one item on Chen Ming’s terminal and pointed out an inconspicuous little check mark.
Chen Ming nodded.
This seems to be a way to earn some extra money.
"Can Psychics trade these items among themselves?"
"Yes, they can, but similar to resale, only marked ones can be freely traded. Unmarked ones can only be sold among Psychics in the military, government, or other official forces."
"Moreover, I heard that the items used by Psychics are usually traded face-to-face. It’s said that you all care greatly about whether the items are suitable; the transaction only occurs after face-to-face confirmation to ensure appropriateness, otherwise, it’s canceled."
Chen Ming nodded again and said, "This concept indeed exists."
Just like when he was gathering Spiritual Energy Origin before, whether a material is suitable is all about fate.
Just as Chen Ming was about to continue asking questions, Bai Quan added, "However, the number of Psychics here in our branch, including you, is only three. There are a few more at the headquarters, but it’s not easy to trade now."
"Oh."
Looks like Chen Ming would need a chance to visit the headquarters to try trading some items.
Chen Ming lowered his head again.
He looked at another item that interested him, Immortal Spirit Tree Seed.
However, upon seeing the price Chen Ming immediately skipped it.
The value of one Immortal Spirit Tree Seed is twenty thousand contribution points.
Though it is a raw material for manufacturing many medicines, and of utmost significance to Psychics, Chen Ming truly doesn’t have enough points.
He can only temporarily mark this seed, meanwhile raising Yan Xiong’s value a bit in his mind, since earlier someone was willing to exchange Yan Xiong for Immortal Spirit Tree seedlings.
Then he turned his attention to another thing he might now be able to afford that is relatively important to him.
Artificial Enlightenment Nerve.
Chen Ming is now just one step away from a crucial node, if he could obtain this Enlightenment Nerve, he might possibly leap directly over it.
And the value of one Artificial Enlightenment Nerve is ten thousand contribution points.
It’s like exchanging one special merit for a chance to become a Psychic.
Chen Ming suddenly raised his head again, looking at Bai Quan.
Bai Quan had already organized the lesson plan and asked, "Finished reading? You ready for class?"
"Wait, there’s another question. Where did you get that Enlightenment Nerve you gave me before? This should be something only Psychics can get through special merit, right?"
Bai Quan recalled slightly and said, "It’s not something only Psychics can get. It was given to me when I was promoted to Major General from above, but I never used it and just passed it to you."
"I’m not interested in betting on such a small probability, better to exchange it for some resources elsewhere later, as you know, I traded it for a Vice Admiral."
Chen Ming suddenly furrowed his brow slowly, because he suddenly remembered past events.
"Isn’t Enlightenment Nerve available for sale? Can special merit-level items be sold?"
"And I’ve heard, normally this Artificial Enlightenment Nerve when implanted in non-Psychics, besides slightly activating the Spiritual Power of the implant, is practically useless."
"Using one special merit to exchange for something so much like a gamble, is it really worth it?"
Bai Quan looked at Chen Ming somewhat unexpectedly and asked, "Where did you hear about these?"
"From the boss."
"Oh, well it’s actually a bit different."
"Wu An was talking about Enlightenment Nerves for external sale, which is different from the ones we really use for that bit of probability to become Psychics."
"Let me put it this way, the Enlightenment Nerve for external sale, after implantation, has a 0% probability of awakening Spiritual Energy through this Enlightenment Nerve."
"0%?"
"Yes, it’s that low. Those who appear to awaken Spiritual Energy after implanting the Enlightenment Nerve were already people capable of awakening Spiritual Energy themselves."
"As for whether exchanging special merit for this is worth it, I can only say it’s a choice, which can be avoided."
"Moreover, this ten thousand contribution points isn’t just for the Enlightenment Nerve. There are also additional items."
Bai Quan again recalled the various precautions explained to him regarding the use of this Enlightenment Nerve.
"First, to implant an Enlightenment Nerve, one must first go to Fan Chao Research Institute, undergo a physical examination to confirm body condition, and assess the state of Spiritual Power."
"Then actively train for a period of time to ensure Spiritual Power’s activity. Finally, under the protection of various supporting medical facilities, absorb it to ensure the safety of the absorber."
Seeing Chen Ming with a look as if wanting to say something, Bai Quan directly said, "Not everyone is as brute as you can directly ingest the Enlightenment Nerve."
"Fan Chao Research Institute is the main department researching this thing. The rules they set must follow their department."
"Even the director of our Fourteenth Legion’s Spiritual Ability Research Institute can only go there to learn."
"Consider the comprehensive service package from Fan Chao Research Institute, it’s certainly worth special merit, right?"
"As for those wealthy individuals buying the Enlightenment Nerve, it’s casual enough. Just find a local Spiritual Ability Research Institute for implantation. As long as it doesn’t kill the person, do it however they please."
