Chapter 864: Scalpers

Apart from the Sea Token that tempted everybody, there were few weapons that deserved attention inside the Star Shell. There were only several dozen ultra-quality spiritual weapons and two Semi-Divine weapons, left by poor victims.

Han Fei gave all the ultra-quality spiritual weapons as well as a Semi-Divine saber to Le Renkuang.

The other Semi-Divine weapon was a sword, and neither Luo Xiaobai nor Zhang Xuanyu needed it. Zhang Xuanyu was of a mind to let Han Fei refine a Semi-Divine stick for him, and Han Fei accepted his request.

What excited Han Fei most was the items other than weapons.

Han Fei said, “More than 12,000 ultra-quality pearls, about 2,000 black pearls, 5,000 colorful pearls, and no more than 5,000 high-quality pearls.”

In terms of price, one black pearl equaled a hundred high-quality pearls.

In terms of value, one black pearl contained more than 100,000 points of spiritual energy, so the harvest from the black pearls amounted to more than two hundred million.

Han Fei thought for a moment and said, “The black pearls are useful to me. You can split up the ultra-quality, high-quality, and colorful pearls!”

In Han Fei’s opinion, all the other pearls combined weren’t as valuable as the two thousand black pearls.

Although he had made the greatest contributions to the victory, his teammates had offered a lot of help too. Zhang Xuanyu protected Le Renkuang and Luo Xiaobai with his soul. Le Renkuang absorbed a huge number of enchanting pupas. Luo Xiaobai always seized the opportunity to fight alongside him inside the Star Shell.

Luo Xiaobai glanced at Han Fei in surprise. “The ultra-quality and black pearls cannot be traded with high-quality pearls. Why don’t you take some ultra-quality pearls too?”

Zhang Xuanyu said, “Yes! I think you’re the one who needs spiritual energy the most.”

Han Fei was amused. “Don’t forget that I’m a spirit gatherer! Do you want them or not? If you don’t, I’ll just take all of them away.”

Luo Xiaobai and the others almost said at the same time, “Yes.”

As for the Star Shell itself, Han Fei looked at Luo Xiaobai and asked, “Do you know about Star Shells?”

Luo Xiaobai slightly shook her head. “I only know of the Sun-Moon Shell. Usually, the space that a dead Sun-Moon Shell contains has a radius above a thousand meters. The Star Shell might be an even rarer treasure than the Sun-Moon Shell.”

Han Fei nodded. “I’ll keep it for now. If we find Sun-Moon Shells later, you can have them.”

Han Fei had to keep the Star Shell not really because he needed it, but because he found it impossible to take it out.

He thought quickly. Doesn’t it belong to me now? Why can’t I take it out?

However, there was no time for him to check it yet. He had to examine it in Forge the Universe another day.

Zhang Xuanyu scratched his head. “We paid four hundred thousand high-quality pearls for the permit, but we’ve stayed here for only one day, right?”

Le Renkuang said regretfully, “I wonder if we can ask for a refund…”

Luo Xiaobai explained, “The temporary permits are refundable, but you can only get some of your money back.”

Han Fei’s eyes glittered. “That’s still better than nothing! I certainly do not intend to fight another Clam Girl in the Sea of Pearls.”

Le Renkuang nodded quickly. “Yes! I don’t want to eat any more worms either.”

Luo Xiaobai said casually, “This trip to the Sea of Pearls indirectly proves that we’re not strong enough. We might have been killed if Han Fei hadn’t unleashed the force greater than a wave.”

Han Fei suddenly asked, “Right, Xiaobai, what does the force of a wave mean? Is it a unit?”

Zhang Xuanyu and Le Renkuang looked at Luo Xiaobai too. They had never heard of such a term before.

Luo Xiaobai looked at Han Fei thoughtfully and said, “The force of one wave describes the slapping power of a wave and equals about ten million kilograms. Experts measure strength with that. A Hidden Fisher may be able to unleash the force of one wave when they reach their peak.”

Luo Xiaobai stared at Han Fei while she talked, slightly surprised that Han Fei already had the force above one wave.

Zhang Xuanyu looked at Han Fei too. “Hiss… Doesn’t it mean that Han Fei has more strength than a peak-level Hidden Fisher does?”

Le Renkuang was stunned too. “Is he so strong?”

Luo Xiaobai said casually, “Not just a peak-level Hidden Fisher. When Han Fei uses the Majestic Mystic Spell, he may have the power of a junior Law Enforcer.”

Han Fei remembered the tsunami. He read the news that an undersea earthquake caused a gigantic trench that was a hundred kilometers wide, a thousand kilometers long, and dozens of meters deep. The power caused by the earthquake equaled a million atomic bombs and vaporized humans and shores.

Of course, the energy of all the sea water was much greater than that of a single wave, but Han Fei was still impressed by Luo Xiaobai’s description. Was a force of ten million kilograms equal to one wave? In that case, the maximal force he could unleash was close to two waves.

Han Fei frowned, “Xiaobai, are you sure that the force of one wave is ten million kilograms? I think it should be greater.”

Luo Xiaobai said, “I was talking about the force of one part of the wave. When you attack, you have to focus your strength on one point too, so the calculation is correct. It’s impossible to calculate the force of an entire tide.”

Han Fei slapped his thigh and said, “Hey, you’re all capable of the Majestic Mystic Spell! You’re not far away from the force of one wave!”

Zhang Xuanyu rolled his eyes and said, “Nonsense! My force was about 0.6 million kilograms after I became a Hidden Fisher. Even if I’m fused with my spiritual beast and use the Majestic Mystic Spell, I can unleash a force of four million kilograms at best. It’s still far away from one wave.”

Le Renkuang rolled his eyes. Are you bragging here?

Le Renkuang realized that he had to make a breakthrough as soon as possible, or he would really be left behind.

…

On the next day, Han Fei and the others flew back to the Pearl Divers’ Port unhurriedly.

This time, they saw a lot of boats flying above the square carrying six-star experts. They wondered if they were all here for the big earthquake from the previous night.

Unfortunately, no purple flames emerged this time, and those people were bound to return with empty hands.

When Han Fei’s team came to the registration office, they found that the place was crowded. How could they ask for a refund when the place was swarmed?

Zhang Xuanyu suggested, “Maybe we should just go.”

Le Renkuang said regretfully, “But it’s money!”

Han Fei suddenly grabbed his temporary permit and said, “Everybody, four temporary permits that won’t expire in nineteen days. First come, first serve.”

Zhang Xuanyu and the others all looked at Han Fei. Was that really possible?

The crowd fell into silence. Then, someone quickly jumped to Han Fei. “Bro, I’d like your temporary permit.”

SWISH!

Dozens of people emerged in front of Han Fei in all kinds of ways. Someone appeared as smoke, some jumped to him after a flash, and some rose from underneath the floor.

All in all, Han Fei was surrounded by buyers after his call.

Someone saw Luo Xiaobai and exclaimed, “Ms. Luo, we met in the central city before. Can you give me your permit?”

Someone laid his hand on Le Renkuang’s shoulder. “Bro, I’ll give you a higher price.”

Someone pushed away the person in front of Han Fei. “Go away! I came here first! Stop cutting in line!”

A moment later…

Han Fei and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Not only did they suffer no loss from the trip to the Sea of Pearls, but they had even earned a hundred thousand mid-quality pearls. The price of the temporary permits had risen!

Zhang Xuanyu grinned at Han Fei. “Han Fei, I find that you are a genius when it comes to making money.”

Le Renkuang nodded. “Yes! I think we could’ve asked for a higher price.”

Luo Xiaobai said, “Training is more important.”

Han Fei didn’t expect that he could be a scalper in such a place. This was really a profitable industry!

Han Fei chuckled. “Okay, enough! Is such a tiny amount of money really worth celebrating?”

When Han Fei was about to go, he saw that a few men wearing battle suits quickly came to the registration office with a big fish skin and then stuck the fish skin to the wall.

“Huh? An auction?”

Han Fei was briefly stunned. “An auction is to be held at a moment like this?”

Luo Xiaobai said, “It makes sense. A lot of people are coming to the Pearl Divers’ Port, and they may be strong, which means that they are rich. It’s easy to attract their attention by holding auctions right now.”

Le Renkuang said, “Look, a few treasures are introduced on it. There are Semi-Divine weapons, heaven-level techniques, and Phoenix Spirit Ginseng. What’s that?”

Han Fei’s eyes instantly glittered. “Wait a moment, this auction is to be held at nightfall tomorrow? Should we go there and check it out?”

Luo Xiaobai asked, “Are you interested? I think what you have is much more valuable than the items at the auction.”

Zhang Xuanyu quickly nodded. “I do wonder if any Semi-Divine sticks will be auctioned off…”

Han Fei sneered. “Even if there are, are you going to buy them? Can’t you let me craft one for you?”

Zhang Xuanyu smacked his lips. “That’s true.”

Le Renkuang said, “Then are we going to the auction or not?”

Han Fei chuckled. He was determined to get the Phoenix Spirit Ginseng, which he could exchange for the Spirit Awakening Fluid from the old turtle.

Han Fei shrugged. “We’re all curious, right? We’ve never been to such an auction before.”

Luo Xiaobai said casually, “Then we’ll just stay for another night.”
