Versatile Mage: Starting in Sahara, the system is here

Chapter 48 Research Council, Dark Matter - Withering

"Dark matter? Are you a shadow mage? Then how come you are going to teach students of the summoning department?" Hearing Dean Xiao's words, the middle-aged man sitting on the other side looked at Lu Sha.

Lu Sha didn't say anything but just gave Dean Xiao a puzzled look.

"Haha, Lu Sha, don't mind. He is my best friend for many years - Pei Jing, a super-class shadow mage." Dean Xiao introduced.

"A shadow-type super-class mage?!" Wow, anyone who can be on friendly terms with Dean Xiao must have at least comprehended supernatural powers, or be at the level of a degenerate.

It can be said that he is a real boss! Or a hidden boss, because Lu Sha has never heard of the name Pei Jing in the original book.

"Boy, you haven't answered my question yet." Pei Jing raised his eyebrows. He smelled a very strong dark aura on Lu Sha. It seemed that he had just broken through not long ago and had not had time to restrain it.

"I just broke through to the high level of Shadow." Lu Sha replied neither humbly nor arrogantly. Although the other party was a big shot in the Shadow Department, his attitude should be what it should be.

Or in other words, it's just a super-class shadow mage, but it's really useless to him and has no effect at all.

"Haha, so it's you who wanted to buy my dark matter. You've broken through to the high-level of shadow at such a young age. Not bad!" Pei Jing immediately put down his airs as a senior and hurriedly pulled Lu Sha and said.

"Pei Jing is from the Research and Development Committee. He is currently working on a project that requires a large amount of funds. As luck would have it, he has some extra dark matter on hand, so you two can have a chat about it." Dean Xiao added.

"Research Institute?" My goodness, why does Lu Sha feel like one thing after another, whatever he wants will come true, could this dark matter be a trap?
No wonder Pei Jing's eyes changed when he heard that he was going to buy dark matter, as if he had seen an icy beauty and was reluctant to look away, fearing that he would run away.

"Hey, our Research and Development Association also needs funds. Hehe, since you are the one recommended by Lao Xiao, and we hit it off right away, how about this, 1.2 billion. As long as you nod and agree, I will immediately have someone bring the things over." Pei Jing laughed cheerfully.

"1.2 billion? Are you still asleep or am I? You might as well go rob a bank. You can get as much money as you want." Lu Sha said with a sneer.

He vaguely remembered that the dark matter that Mo Fan got in the original novel was only worth 1 billion, and in the end Feng Zhoulong gave him 800 million as a friendship price. But when it came to him, it was like a grand slam for acquaintances, right?

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't be anxious. Just listen to what I say first. It's not too late to complain after I introduce the functions of this dark matter!" Pei Jing immediately became anxious when he saw this.

"The name of this dark matter is Withering, and its function is quite powerful! Not only can it infect, penetrate, and mark, but to put it simply, it can directly and silently cause indelible attacks on people!"

"It also has a terrifying domain effect, which is the Eternal Withering! As long as you are within the range of your domain, you can summon countless Withers, which will lock onto the living people within the periphery of your domain from all directions.

As long as someone dares to connect to the star, it will directly invade the person's body and devour them alive!"

Pei Jing explained.

"You're selling it to me for 1.2 billion? It doesn't look that great." Lu Sha said disdainfully. Spend so much money to buy this thing, and then put a few more ghosts in it?

If that were the case, he would rather leave the Shadow system empty than spend a lot of money and be a fool.

Pei Jing seemed to have anticipated what Lu Sha would say. He curled his lips and added calmly, "What if these Immortal Witherings are all above the commander level?"

"Above the commander level?" Hearing this, Lu Sha became slightly interested. If what Pei Jing said was true, then it was really worth the price. A commander-level ghost that could never be killed, and there was more than one.

"Of course! As long as your conditions allow, even summoning a monarch-level Withering is not a big problem!" Pei Jing said proudly.

"What do you mean? Is there a trap in this thing?"

"Well, to be precise, there is always something that can defeat something else. Dark matter is equivalent to the contracted beast of a summoning mage. Your soul needs to accept it."

"But this withering is born rebellious. Unless your cultivation and mental strength meet its standards, it will be willing to make a contract with you."

“But once you successfully contract with Withering, as time goes by, you will be able to summon Withering even if you don’t release the domain.” Pei Jing explained patiently.

Wow, after Pei Jing's explanation, it seems that this thing is really worth the money! The summoned ghost starts at the commander level.

As for the conditions of the contract, Lu Sha simply ignored them. His mental power had already reached the sixth level, equivalent to the strength of a sub-celestial species. Even if it was as exaggerated as Pei Jing said, his Dark Mage was no pushover.

Just relying on the breath is enough to make it surrender.

"Hey, what do you think? At worst, I'll reluctantly give up 1 billion yuan. How about I give you a discount?" As soon as Pei Jing saw that there was a chance, he immediately turned into a toy salesman and kept lowering the price, wishing that Lu Sha would buy it!

"When will it arrive?" Lu Sha asked again.

One billion is equivalent to the price of a top-level soul seed, and it is dark matter. This price is already quite affordable, and there is really no need to lower the price further.

If the contract requirements for this thing weren't difficult, it might be no problem to sell it for tens or hundreds of billions. After all, the other party really treated Dean Xiao as a good brother, otherwise Lu Sha really couldn't get this thing.

"Haha, young people are so straightforward! Three days, give me three days, and I will prepare it for you! Then I will give it to you with both hands!" Pei Jing said happily.

Three days is not a long time, so Lu Sha nodded and agreed.

Afterwards, the two of them traded the amount under the witness of Dean Xiao, and Pei Jing happily returned to the Research Institute to prepare the withering material.

After Pei Jing left, Lu Sha also looked towards the bottom of the podium.

At this moment, the Beast Fighting Competition has reached its climax. Mo Fan has defeated nearly two hundred people single-handedly. If nothing unexpected happens, the Beast Fighting Competition will be over soon.

"Have you finished the discussion?" Dean Xiao smiled gently.

"Yeah." Lu Sha nodded in response.

"Pei Jing is like this. His temper is sometimes good and sometimes bad, but he is well-known for his good character. If he didn't owe me a favor, he might not sell this dark matter to you."
