Chapter 159: Successful Acquisition of Item with Sentience

After some lighthearted banter, the private room quieted down once again, and Dylan and the others looked toward Byron.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Byron was left between laughter and tears: "President, why are you all staring at me? Is there a flower on my Face?"

Dylan smiled upon hearing this, then his expression turned serious.

"Byron, you should already have an answer in your heart as to why we came to find you."

Byron nodded: "President, you must be here regarding the slots I hold."

After saying this, Byron added a sentence.

"No problem. As long as the price is right, I can even sell all the slots in my hand to you; I only need to keep one for myself."

A look of surprise and delight appeared on the Faces of Dylan and the others; they hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.

They had originally thought that Byron would tightly cling to those slots and refuse to let go, intending to organize his own people to explore that other world.

Dylan didn't hesitate and immediately patted his chest in assurance: "Rest assured, Byron, we will definitely give you a satisfactory price!"

After saying this, Dylan asked with some embarrassment: "It's just that I don't know how many slots you have left?"

Byron: "Aside from the one I'm using myself, there are six slots remaining."

Dylan clapped his hands excitedly: "That's enough, absolutely enough! We only need four slots!"

"Byron, you should know the five conditions for a Limit Wizard Apprentice to promote to an Official Wizard by now, right? If you don't, I can tell you now."

At this point, Dylan paused, as if remembering something, and added.

"Of course, this information isn't counted as part of our transaction; consider it a free gift from us. After all, our upcoming trade is related to these conditions."

Byron smiled slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, President, but I have already learned about the five conditions for promotion from my mentor."

"I just don't know what kind of items the President is prepared to offer for exchange that satisfy those conditions?"

"However, I don't need any mental power qualitative change potion here."

Byron laughed heartily at Dylan and the others at the end.

Dylan and the others understood the meaning behind Byron's words, and smiles appeared on their Faces.

Dylan: "The mental power qualitative change potion we have was all refined by you, so of course, we wouldn't try to fool you with that."

Dylan stopped speaking at this point.

In truth, he wanted to ask Byron exactly which items he had gathered and which ones he was still missing.

However, he didn't want to probe into Byron's secrets, but rather to ensure a better transaction later, so he wouldn't offer things Byron already had.

But on second thought, he dismissed this idea.

After all, even if it wasn't meant to pry into Byron's secrets, no matter how one explains it, it ultimately gives the impression of prying.

Subsequently, Dylan looked at Loris and the others. Seeing them all nod, his heart felt settled.

Dylan waved his hand, and several wooden trays instantly appeared on the table, each holding different items.

"Byron, I won't play any tricks with you; these are the things we have prepared to trade with you."

"We need four slots, and you can choose any two items from these."

"Of course, we won't let you choose blindly; we will explain the function of each item to you."

Byron nodded slightly, agreeing to this method of transaction.

Seeing Byron agree, Dylan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Without delay, they immediately began introducing the various items to Byron.

Among them were wizard artifacts created using alchemy, potion recipes, items that help wizards form an Energy Cycle and autonomously produce magic power, potions that can trigger Sentience...

A wide variety; it seemed as if they had emptied their own reserves for this transaction.

Finally, listening to Dylan's introduction, Byron chose a wizard artifact and the potion capable of triggering Sentience.

Seeing the items Byron chose, everyone present wore a look of realization. They had clearly guessed something, but none said it out loud, opting to play dumb instead.

The moment Byron finished choosing the items, he noticed the change in the others, but his heart remained calm.

After all, everyone present was shrewd, having experienced countless things and honed sharp eyes; how could he possibly hide anything from them?

However, Byron didn't intend to hide how many of the five conditions he had already met.

What was there to hide?

If he really wanted to hide it, he could have completely forgone that wizard artifact. Even if he didn't choose the item for the Energy Cycle, choosing the potion recipe would have been better than that.

But Byron chose not to do so, because that would be wasteful.

Furthermore, he would be entering that other world in two years; without a wizard artifact to assist him, his chances of survival would clearly be lower.

To abandon a powerful wizard artifact for something trivial that could be ignored was clearly very unwise.

After putting the items away, Byron smiled and said: "President, since I have already obtained what I wanted, it is time for me to give you what you want."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of Dylan and the others suddenly lit up.

Byron: "President, should I transfer all four slots to you, or...?"

Dylan waved his hand: "Since the parties involved are all here, let's handle it individually. It's more reassuring for everyone to hold their own."

Byron looked at Alina in surprise and asked: "Senior, you successfully promoted to a Limit Wizard Apprentice?!"

Seeing Byron's shocked expression, Alina proudly lifted her chin and nodded gently.

"Of course. You don't know who I am? I am your senior! If I didn't promote, I would have been caught up by you."

"At that time, where would I put my Face as a senior?"

While transferring the slots, Byron teased: "Senior, that's not right. Back when you were a Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice, weren't you caught up by Colin?"

"There's nothing to be ashamed of; practice makes perfect, it doesn't matter, hahaha."

As he spoke, Byron couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Because the transaction was completed successfully, Dylan and the others already had smiles on their Faces, and now, hearing Byron's words, their smiles deepened even further.

Alina rolled her eyes at Byron in annoyance: "Hmph, wait until you catch up before you say that. By then, I will have become an Official Wizard, and you still won't have promoted to a Limit Wizard Apprentice."

"In that case, you'll really lose Face."

Byron didn't say anything to this, just smiled slightly.

After transferring the slots to Loris, everyone's slots were handed over to them.

After finishing the official business, a look of curiosity and inquiry appeared on Byron's Face as he looked at Dylan and the others.

"President, I see that the number and quality of the freshmen this time are much better than our batch. It seems your trial results were quite good. Can you tell me about the situation inside?"
