Just call me Thor

Bab 349: Why do I feel like you've gotten shorter?



Trade Secret Realm.

After discussing Afterskin's situation, Mike changed the subject.

"By the way, is Vortexarchon's leg bone still available?"

Foreskin shook his head. "It's been ground into powder."

As a demon god-level material, Vortexarchon's remains were among the most valuable and sought-after materials even within the human race, so naturally, they would be utilized to the fullest extent.

However, due to its high tier, very few people could handle it directly.

Grinding it into bone powder and crafting it into various special items and equipment was the best way to utilize it.

Mike frowned slightly. "If I wanted Vortexarchon's left leg bone, what kind of price would I have to pay?" Discover hidden tales at empire

Foreskin spread his hands helplessly. "You would need to trade it for a left leg bone of the same tier from another demon god. Materials of this level cannot be measured by Lord merits. Moreover, we only have bone powder now."

Mike understood.

Only demon god materials could be exchanged for other demon god materials.

To get Vortexarchon's leg bone for Shadow Three, Mike had to find another way, perhaps through Maxen.

Thinking of this, Mike suddenly asked, "Was it Shadow Nine's idea to grind Vortexarchon's bones into powder?"

Foreskin's expression also turned serious, and he nodded in confirmation. "Yes."

Mike sighed and rubbed his face with both hands.

"Ugh, what kind of bodyguard did Shadow Nine leave me with?"

Shadow Three's secrets were more numerous than Mike had imagined.

He would take it one step at a time.

Since there was nothing else, Mike bid farewell to Foreskin and left the Trade Secret Realm.

Back on Earth, Kaelum quickly came looking for him.

"Mike, something big happened!"

Kaelum rushed over excitedly and informed Mike, "The summer camp is organizing a field training exercise. I heard from a reliable source that we're going to the Ninth Abyss!"

Mike looked at Kaelum with feigned surprise and asked, "Really? When are we leaving? Is your information accurate?"

"Absolutely! My nephew, you know."

Kaelum whispered, "It's a big operation. Maxen, the number one Lone Wolf, is leading the team, the Nightmare corps is accompanying us, and some big shots from the Guardian Shadow are also going. Most importantly, it's said that Thor is going too!"

That impressive, huh?

Mike nodded repeatedly, unable to express his 'shock' in words.

Finally, Kaelum lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear.

"Mike, rumor has it that this plan was formulated by a Supreme Being. No one dares to say which one, but I guess it's probably Morpheus..."

Mike shook his head. "I think you guessed wrong."

It was Apollo, surprise!

Listening to Kaelum's gossip, Mike was also thinking about this trip to the abyss.

As his strength grew, so did his responsibilities. The more he could accomplish on this trip to the Ninth Abyss, the greater the rewards!

High risk, high reward!

Just as Mike was lost in thought, Ace suddenly spoke.

"I'm going to the Ninth Abyss too."

Kaelum's expression froze. He had been so engrossed in chatting with Mike that he had forgotten about Ace.

Ace had defeated Bad Woman head-on and was now known as "Thor."

As for whether he was truly Thor, opinions were divided.

99.99% of people believed that Ace was Thor.

There was no way around it, his achievements spoke for themselves.

Bad Woman could single-handedly defeat everyone in the SS-level talent training camp.

But when the invincible Bad Woman met Ace, she was left with psychological trauma!

If he wasn't Thor, who was?

However, someone close to Kaelum held a different opinion - Anderson.

"Mike, let me tell you, this is very suspicious."

Kaelum continued gossiping.

"Anderson first said that Bad Woman wasn't Thor, and now he's saying that Ace isn't Thor..."

Hearing this, Mike's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Kaelum warily.

What were you trying to say?

I advise you to choose your words carefully!

In the past, Mike had Shadow Nine by his side. If something went wrong, Shadow Nine could seal memories and fix any loopholes.

Now, Mike had Shadow Three by his side. If something went wrong, Shadow Three's method was simpler and more direct: physical elimination.

Kaelum whispered, "Is there a possibility that Anderson is actually Thor?"

"Pfft—"

Before Mike could even laugh, Ace burst out laughing.

He patted Kaelum's shoulder and said, "You're more interesting than your nephew."

With that, Ace strode forward, leaving Kaelum behind.

Mike looked at Kaelum, frowning slightly.

"Why do I feel like you've gotten shorter?"

"No shit, hurry up and pull me out of the ground!"

Kaelum rolled his eyes, speechless.

Ace's pat on his shoulder had literally planted Kaelum halfway into the ground, his ankles buried.

As Mike pulled Kaelum out, he said, "You guys are damaging public property, you'll have to pay a fine."

Kaelum argued, "But it was Ace who damaged the property!"

"You're an accomplice."

"..."

...

During the morning break, Ace approached Mike, and they found a place to talk privately.

"We're going to the Ninth Abyss in three days," Ace said to Mike seriously. "My weapon needs to be finished before then."

Mike patted his chest in assurance. "No problem, as long as the money is in place!"

Mike had witnessed Master Fool crafting SS-level equipment, fresh out of the oven in three minutes.

As he spoke, Mike took out the plans. "I discussed it with the master smith yesterday, and we came up with two designs..."

Ace interrupted. "Tell me about the expensive one first."

He knew Mike too well.

When dealing with Thor, the expensive one was always the right one.

In a way, Mike's trading style was very similar to the Mystic Market's.

Mike handed the plans to Ace and explained, "This longspear, in addition to having super strong attributes and armor penetration, look here..."

Mike pointed at the spearhead.

"Every normal attack you make will fire a bullet that pierces through the enemy, dealing super high damage and slowing them down. When you use skills, it will also fire special bullets that are guaranteed to crit."

Ace fell silent upon hearing Mike's words.

You call this thing a longspear? Wasn't it a long rifle?

Mike continued to promote the weapon:

"After three consecutive normal attacks, the third one is guaranteed to knock the enemy back."

"Also, every time you kill an enemy, it leaves a death trap behind."

"This spear has an ultimate ability that sweeps across all directions, knocking back and scattering enemies, creating a force field around you. Enemies outside the force field cannot damage you..."

"....."

Although this weapon was bizarre, Ace had examined it and was very satisfied with the longspear's effects.

So, there was only one question left.

Ace asked, "How much?"

"Not expensive."

Mike quoted a reasonable price.

"1,427,913.75 Lord merits."

"Let's just round it down to 1,427,913, consider the decimals as a discount."
