In order to become an S-class paranormal, Thomas was willing to pay any price. Gao Qi, Wang Ming Yuan, Wang Ke, and Thomas himself understood this.
Now, A-class paranormal was the ceiling of individual strength. They had the ability to destroy or protect a city. Therefore, A-class paranormal was like nuclear weapons in the past. Although they did not have to be used, they were definitely the divine weapons of a country.
Thomas could change from the guardian of Apple City to the owner of Apple City. He could do business and rob whenever he wanted because he was an A-class paranormal.
But if there was an S-class paranormal, it would be different. Thomas would lose his absolute strength advantage.
This was an arms race. It did not matter whether one was the first to become an S-class paranormal, but one must become an S-class paranormal. Otherwise, everything one had might be lost.
Thomas was a businessman, and a businessman who was willing to sacrifice his life rather than his wealth. But since he was a shrewd businessman, he must be able to judge the situation quickly and react immediately.
This was an arms race, so the price to pay was investment. Since it was an investment, Thomas had no reason to shrink back or hesitate. He did not have the strength and status he had today by being stingy.
"Of course, I can prove that I can make you an S-class paranormal. Otherwise, how can we make a deal? I can't just tell you a few ways to make you pay. You won't believe me."
Thomas smiled and nodded.
At this time, Wang Ming Yuan handed a few notes to Gao Qi. After reading them, Gao Qi handed them to Thomas.
"These are the conditions. Take a look."
Thomas was a stingy man. He was willing to sacrifice his life rather than his wealth. He would rather die than give Gao Qi a spaceship. But now, he was willing to give Gao Qi three spaceships in exchange.
Since he was willing to take out the spaceships, after reading the conditions on the notes, Thomas's facial muscles twitched a few times, but he immediately said with a happy face, "No problem. These are all for you."
"Wow!"
Niu Lidong could not help but cry out in surprise. Then, he immediately covered his mouth.
"Now, can you tell me when I can become an S-rank ability user?" Thomas asked anxiously.
Gao Qi thought for a moment and said, "The time is short, and the process is fast. However, becoming an S-class Esper has its risks. It's like awakening again. If the awakening fails, you will become a mutant."
Thomas exhaled slowly, but in just a breath's time, he had made up his mind.
"I know that there will be risks. The closer I am to the threshold of a breakthrough, the more I understand the dangers and risks involved, but I am not afraid."
Gao Qi smiled and said confidently, "Yes, every breakthrough is accompanied by danger, but with me, I can guarantee your absolute safety, because my research on abilities can help you avoid danger. So how can I prove that I have the ability to make you an S-class ability user? The answer is very simple, you will naturally believe me after you become an S-class ability user."
Thomas was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, there are some problems here. Can you help me break through quickly, instead of telling me some method and letting me explore it myself?"
"Of course, this is not a martial arts secret manual that can be thrown to you and you can learn it by yourself. This is an epiphany, an epiphany with my help. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Thomas said with a serious face, "I understand, but … you said that Grandpa Tree is a Beyond Grade A Esper, but not an S-class ability user. Since the breakthrough is an epiphany and not the result of learning through some method, then what's with Grandpa Tree's state?"
Those who could become Grade A Espers were definitely not fools, but those who could rule a city as Grade A Espers were definitely dragons and phoenixes among men, in all aspects.
Thomas was not a brute who only had big fists. He was very smart and sharp. After connecting the dots, he could immediately find the loopholes in Gao Qi's words.
Gao Qi smiled, then he said very calmly, "You know what happened to me in City One, right?"
"You're a transmigrator, and you're an existence at the peak of strength in the other world. A certain god is chasing after you. I know this, so I'm willing to believe that you can help me break through."
It was easy to communicate with smart people. Gao Qi said in a deep voice, "I've been researching Espers for some time, and I told Grandpa Tree the results of my research. However, at that time, I hadn't broken through, so Grandpa Tree needed to explore the ultimate mystery of Espers by himself. He could only move forward by himself."
"Reasonable. So, you've broken through now?"
Gao Qi nodded and said, "Yes, I've made a breakthrough, so I can help you directly become an S-class ability user. It's that simple."
Thomas took a deep breath, then he said very seriously, "Very good. You'll see what a professional businessman I am. Then, when do you plan to help me break through?"
Gao Qi thought for a moment and said, "You can hand over three spaceships first."
Thomas pointed to the sky behind him and said, "There's one here. Later, I'll bring people to point out all the back doors that can be remotely controlled, or remove the original control system and install your own. Do whatever you think is safe, and I'll cooperate fully. How about it?"
Thomas was so straightforward that it made people have a good impression of him. Gao Qi immediately said, "When the time comes, I'll immediately make you an S-class ability user. The whole process will take about four hours. This is my estimate, but the length of time may change, but I can absolutely guarantee your safety."
"Okay, it's settled then. But can you go to Apple City to do this?"
Gao Qi looked at the people behind him. They were overjoyed that Thomas had agreed to all the conditions.
Thomas was really a qualified businessman. Gao Qi began to have another thought.
"Mr. Thomas, I can go to Apple City. Also, I have a project that I want to invite you to invest in."
Thomas was stunned for a moment and said, "Investment project?"
Gao Qi nodded and said, "Bernhard developed the Arcana Detector and became the richest man in the world because of it. Now, I've developed another detector. I call it the Psychic Power Detector. It can detect whether a person has the potential to awaken in advance."
Thomas was very excited, but after hearing Gao Qi's words, he suddenly became serious.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, I'm serious. I can demonstrate it to you now, and then you can decide whether to invest in my invention or not."
Thomas said with a serious face, "This is an invention that can change the situation of power. If you can prove it, of course I'm willing to invest!"
PS: Sorry, I overslept, so today's update is late.
Speaking of which, I've been suffering from insomnia for a long time, so it's really a blessing to be able to oversleep.
