Just call me Thor

Chapter 395: Spending money could really make him stronger



"So this is the Heart of Life?"

Mike didn't reach out to take it, but examined it repeatedly.

The second awakened Eye of Truth quickly gave a prompt.

[Heart of Life, sacred relic of the elves, SSS-level]

[Werewolves below level 998 can level up once after consuming it]

[Can revive a dying Tree of Life]

[Has a super strong life recovery effect, can be used to make equipment, heart transplants...]

"Stop prompting, that's enough."

Mike had a general understanding of the Heart of Life's uses.

It was no exaggeration to say that the Heart of Life was Mike's most valuable gain from this trip.

It had an upgrade effect on werewolves, could revive the Tree of Life, and itself could provide super strong life recovery...

Looking away, Mike looked at Fool, waiting for her next words.

"Let me make it clear first."

Fool pointed to the Heart of Life, a hint of disdain in her tone,

"I have no interest in keeping this thing for myself. If I were to take something, I would take something more valuable, like the Money Tree."

Mike nodded, he believed that.

It's just... wasn't Fool a bit too rich already?!

In Mike's eyes,

The Heart of Life could easily be sold for tens of thousands of Lord merits at a high price in the Mystic Market!

As if knowing what Mike was thinking, Bilbo added in a low voice, "This item was once valued at 360,000 Lord merits in the Mystic Market. The previous Wolf Alpha once offered his entire fortune as a reward for it."

Bilbo had worked in the Mystic Market for many years, his valuation was accurate.

Fool continued, "Since she is your captive, according to the rules, the Heart of Life is also

your loot. I originally planned to use it to make SSS-level equipment for you, but since you want it, take it."

This time, it was Mike's turn to be puzzled.

She was giving it up so easily?

Was there a catch?!

"However, let me remind you."

A sneer appeared on Fool's lips,

"If you use the [Heart of Life] as the core, your SSS-level armor will have super strong life attributes and recovery ability. If you take the [Heart of Life] away... the cost of the core material will be more than 360,000 Lord merits!"

This time, not only Mike, but even Vladimir gasped.

Now it was Mike's turn to be in a dilemma.

If he took the Heart of Life and used it elsewhere, it would be difficult for Mike to gain a profit of 360,000 Lord merits.

At the same time, Mike would also need to spend a large sum of money to buy new core materials.

Leaving the Heart of Life as the core component of the armor sounded pretty good...

Mike looked at Bilbo and asked, "How many items of similar tier to the Heart of Life are there in the Mystic Market?"

Bilbo immediately replied,n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"There are 6 items of the same tier as the Heart of Life in the Mystic Market's inventory.

There are at least 3 items of higher tier. There are also 2 leads on life-type materials. If you need a list, I can write it down right now."

Mike nodded, indicating that he understood.

In that case...

Mike made his decision, "Give it to me!"

The Heart of Life flew from Fool's palm into Mike's hand.

"Oh?"

Fool was slightly surprised, this outcome was beyond her expectations.

She couldn't quite understand it.

Thor would rather spend more money to buy core materials than use the readily available Heart of Life.

Was this still the Thor she knew?

Fool asked, "Why did you choose this way?"

Mike, who had put away the Heart of Life, focused his attention on it and waved his hand dismissively,

"Such a simple question, think about it yourself!"

Fool looked at Vladimir, wanting an answer.

If Fool was proficient in Thor's character,

Then Vladimir, who had been following Thor for a while, knew him like the back of his hand.

Facing his master who could kill him at any time, Vladimir's attitude was always good.

He spoke elegantly, calmly, and indifferently,

"When it comes to saving his own life, my master is always willing to spend money."

For Mike, no amount of money was too much when it came to saving his own life!

Why was Mike so obsessed with making money?

Because when he first came into contact with the Tower of Truth, the Trade Secret Realm, and the Mystic Market, after awakening his talent, Mike came to a simple, boring, but very

practical conclusion:

Spending money could really make him stronger!

In fact, the human higher-ups had been silently paying attention to the potential Supreme

Being, Thor.

Not many people knew Thor's true identity,

However, many of Thor's words and actions were recorded and used to analyze his character.

These files were highly confidential, and the personnel involved in the analysis would voluntarily accept Memory Seal after the analysis was completed.

Only when Thor officially became a Supreme Being would these sealed memories be unlocked.

No amount of caution was excessive when it came to protecting a potential Supreme Being.

The human race had always done this.

The leader of the observation and analysis team was none other than Gregory.

At a high-level meeting, Gregory pointed out that according to their analysis, Thor's

obsession with making money was mainly due to a lack of security.

In the 30-odd days after Thor first awakened his talent, there were three key time nodes that

greatly changed him.

The first turning point was the war between the human race and the abyss, where Thor was responsible for guarding the Forest of Truth.

In that battle, Thor armed himself to the teeth, trying his best to survive. For a 0.1% chance of survival, he was willing to pay any price.

The second node was Thor's participation in the SSS-level mission to rescue Professor Gregory, entering the Suture Abyss under Amari's protection.

Because Shadow Nine wasn't by his side, the mission was extremely dangerous and had a

great impact on Thor.

The specific manifestation was: earning more money.

During this period, Thor's main purpose in making money was to save his life.

The third turning point was when Shadow Nine opened the Supreme Abyssal and no longer personally protected Thor.

From that day on, Thor had one more goal - striving to become stronger more quickly.

Professor Gregory carefully analyzed Thor's efficiency and choices in clearing the floors.

Before Shadow Nine left, Thor would still go to the Wolf's Den to hang out and relax after

clearing a floor.

After Shadow Nine left, Thor spent more time on clearing floors, his private space, researching skills, integrating his resources...

He was following his own rhythm, striving to become stronger more quickly.

Not only that, Thor took the initiative to take over the [Guardian Shadow], showed great

interest in improving the strength of the Guardian Shadow, and took the initiative to propose the tournament between the Guardian Shadow and the Nightmare corps.

In particular, Thor's integration of the top combat power of the Guardian Shadow exceeded

many people's expectations!

When Shadow Nine first left, some Ultimates even proposed to activate the emergency plan, to prevent the top three in the Guardian Shadow from getting out of control, and to minimize the impact of Shadow Nine's departure on the human race.

You know, the top three of the Guardian Shadow were not only in important positions, but

also extremely powerful.

Apart from the Supreme Beings and Shadow Nine, few people could control them.

At that time, Professor Gregory argued strongly and bought Thor three days.

If Thor couldn't handle the top three of the Guardian Shadow within three days,

The human race would need other preventive measures.

As a result, Thor not only easily handled the top three of the Guardian Shadow, but even

vaguely became the new Alpha in the Guardian Shadow!

Now, Fourth Bro in the Guardian Shadow could command with absolute authority.

The top three of the Guardian Shadow had all expressed their submission in their own way.

Professor Gregory could only sigh with emotion,

"No matter how much we overestimate a potential Supreme Being, in the end, we are always surprised to find that we have underestimated them."

All in all, as a potential Supreme Being, Thor had almost handed in a perfect answer sheet.

Except for his fondness for exploiting Maxen.

Maxen participated in the entire meeting to analyze Thor's character and even prepared a

small notebook to take notes.

The professional terms used by Professor Gregory made Maxen drowsy and yawn repeatedly. Throughout the entire meeting, Maxen only understood one sentence:

Thor would find ways to cheat him out of his money!

Damn it!

What a sad thing!

In the private space, Mike naturally didn't know about these things, and even if he did, he

probably wouldn't care.

Just a few days ago, Professor Gregory had informed Mike that a research grant would be

credited to his account as a reward for participating in the research project.

This bonus was not to be missed.

Mike's attention was now focused on the Heart of Life.

This thing, a sacred relic of the elves, had a miraculous effect on werewolves, allowing

werewolves below level 998 to level up once.

The first person Mike thought of was Maxen.

Who knew, Maxen wasn't interested in the Heart of Life at all.

"Using this thing will turn me into a werewolf!"

Maxen said righteously,

"My godfather told me to be a good person, not a werewolf."

That's true.

Mike nodded slowly, understanding Maxen's choice.

Maxen was only stuck at level 989 now, as long as he was patient, he would reach level 990

sooner or later.

Anyway, there was plenty of time.

Moreover, Maxen highly identified with his human identity.

Giving up his race for the sake of leveling up.

Maxen couldn't do such a thing.

Since Maxen didn't want it, Mike continued to study the Heart of Life.

The greatest use of this thing was still in conjunction with the Tree of Life, followed by

upgrading werewolves.

Mike didn't plan to use the Heart of Life as the main material to forge his SSS-level armor.

According to Bilbo, there were many things in the Mystic Market that were even better than the Heart of Life!

In that case, why wouldn't Mike buy something better?

For Mike, when it came to saving his life, if there was something better, he had to get it!

"How can I use this thing well?"

Mike pondered carefully.

[The Heart of Life can be carried by special beings, and it will have magical effects]

Seeing the prompt given by the Eye of Truth, Mike raised his eyebrows and immediately

searched for a target in his private space.

As Mike's gaze swept over everyone, different prompts popped up above their heads:

[Carried by Nature Elf Envoy, can upgrade the Bow to SSS-level...]

[Carried by Vladimir, gains immortality...]

[Carried by Dracula, gains forbidden blood clan secret techniques...]

[...]

The Heart of Life, even just carrying it, could bring a huge increase in combat power!

Unfortunately, this carrying enhancement was only effective for werewolves, blood clans, and

elves.

If Mike could carry it himself, he wouldn't need to find anyone else.

Just as Mike was hesitating about who to lend it to, a man pushing a stone happened to pass

by.

A prompt popped up above Rolling's head:

[Carried by Rolling, can produce 600mL of source of life per day]

There was such a good thing?!

Mike immediately made his decision,

The Heart of Life would be kept by Rolling for the time being!

This wasn't Rolling, this was a walking source of wealth!

"You want me to help you hold this heart and produce source of life?"

Rolling didn't think too much and agreed to Thor's proposal.

He had been freeloading in Thor's private space for several days, Rolling himself felt

embarrassed.

If there was anything he could do to help, he was naturally happy to do so.

Stones didn't have hearts.

But Mike gave Rolling a heart.

The Heart of Life beat in Rolling's chest, he frowned and asked, puzzled,

"It feels... hot."

"How is the source of life produced?"

Mike looked at the sweat on Rolling's forehead, also lost in thought. "Could it be that his sweat is the source of life? What does it taste like? Would it be salty?"
