Chapter 876: The Sea Demons’ Assault
The night was quiet.
Han Fei snuck to the edge of the lake. Although he knew he probably had been discovered, he wasn’t too bothered. After all, it was an unspoken rule that deals with the big turtle were allowed.
Besides, two men had become Law Enforcers recently, and the seal of the Empyrean Waterfall should be weakened.
As a contributor to their breakthroughs, it wasn’t outrageous for him to get some Spirit Awakening Fluid, was it?
Senior, I’ve brought some good stuff to you!
The big turtle’s voice echoed in Han Fei’s head, What is it?
The Phoenix Spirit Ginseng.
Then, Han Fei bound a Sea Swallowing Seashell to the fishing pole and sank it into the lake.
A moment later, Han Fei pulled the Sea Swallowing Seashell up, which was filled with five thousand kilograms of Spirit Awakening Fluid.
Han Fei said, Senior, you know that I’m a poor man who doesn’t have many good things. I’ll come back later!
Okay!
The Phoenix Spirit Ginseng, as a ginseng, was much more advanced than the Trivariant Golden Ginseng, but it was only exchanged for five thousand kilograms of Spirit Awakening Fluid. Good thing that he bought it at a low price. He didn’t know what would happen if other people knew that Phoenix Spirit Ginseng could be exchanged for so much Spirit Awakening Fluid.
In the newly-built yard, Han Fei sat cross-legged.
Five thousand kilograms of Spirit Awakening Fluid wasn’t enough. He wondered how much Le Renkuang had acquired. Seeing the five million credit points on his waist tag, Han Fei believed that he should exchange them for some assets in the Logistics Division.
He swallowed the fluid, and the upper limit of his spiritual energy and his body hardness changed slowly.
A moment later, Han Fei looked at his new stats.
Han Fei
52 (Junior Hidden Fisher)
: 4,619,667 (25,502)
3,395/3,395
31,999 Meters
Level-Seven, Low-Quality
Twin Yin-Yang Spirit Swallowing Fish (level-46)
Divine Manipulation Technique, Volume Five of Void Fishing (Heaven-Level, Divine-Quality)
…
Han Fei felt bitter after seeing that.
It seems that the Spirit Awakening Fluid isn’t as effective as before. Five thousand kilograms didn’t even increase 1,500 points of my spiritual energy.
Han Fei heaved a sigh. He suspected that he probably could only level up to be an advanced Hidden Fisher even if he had a hundred thousand kilograms of Spirit Awakening Fluid.
He knew very well that the effect of the Spirit Awakening Fluid would decline as the taker grew stronger.
Maybe the decline wasn’t too significant for others, but for him, further improvement was not so easy.
However, Han Fei wasn’t frustrated. At least, the Spirit Awakening Fluid was still useful to him. By the time he became a Law Enforcer, the Spirit Awakening Fluid probably wouldn’t work at all.
After a thought, Han Fei emerged in Forge the Universe.
He looked at the Star Shell that was floating in the sky and found that Forge the Universe was bigger, but not very significantly. Forge the Universe must be swallowing the space inside the Star Shell, he thought.
It would still take some time.
Besides, Forge the Universe was large enough for him to use. Han Fei didn’t really care how much bigger it had turned…
The advantage of a larger space was that he could establish a garden without worrying that there was no place for his materials.
The Big Red Trunk, on the other hand, was a pickle. It was no longer useful to Han Fei anymore. Even its core could only be used to craft ultra-quality spiritual weapons rather than Semi-Divine weapons.
But he couldn’t sell it either, or he would be announcing to everybody that he was the one who dug the Big Red Trunk out from the level-three fishery.
Also, Han Fei had given up the Million Knife Art and used the Infinity Water as a replacement. As a result, the Big Red Trunk and materials from the Ten Thousand Demon Valley were no longer useful.
Never mind. I’ll just keep them here. They’re all good items and may come in handy later.
…
On the next day.
Han Fei went to the Logistics Division early in the morning. He remembered that six-star ranks could get a hundred level-two Soul Crystals every month.
Le Renkuang gave him fewer than that, probably because he used some of them, and his stars were too low.
As for Xiaobai, Han Fei estimated that she didn’t use them up either. However, as a manipulator, Xiaobai also needed a large number of Soul Crystals. She probably would save them even if she didn’t use them up at this moment.
Nevertheless, Han Fei intended to ask them to leave the resources that they didn’t use up to him in their next gathering.
In the Logistics Division, Han Fei said telepathically, Le Renkuang, are you here?
Receiving no response, Han Fei estimated that the guy was probably training somewhere.
Therefore, he walked straight to the counter.
“Hello, I’d like a hundred level-two Soul Crystals.”
While talking, Han Fei pushed his waist tag to the receptionist, who asked in surprise, “Huh? A hundred?”
Han Fei nodded. “Isn’t that the maximum number?”
The receptionist nodded and looked at Han Fei in shock. “We must record the Soul Crystal transactions. May I ask about your duty?”
Han Fei shook his head. “I don’t have any duty.”
The receptionist asked again, “Then may I know which division you work for, or came from? We need to keep a record.”
“I used to be with the First Unit. Now, I live at the Empyrean Waterfall.”
“Cough, cough…”
The receptionist looked at Han Fei with widened eyes. “The Empyrean Waterfall?”
Taking a long breath, she said, “Okay, please wait for a moment. The Soul Crystals you ordered will be delivered to you soon. Is there anything else you want?”
Han Fei thought for a moment and asked, “Is there any way to improve speed? Battle techniques and spiritual fruits are all optional.”
“Huh?”
Stunned for a moment, the receptionist asked, “Well, there are indeed speed battle techniques. The best of them are heaven-level, high-quality. Would you like one?”
Han Fei said, “Let me take a look.”
A moment later, Han Fei returned the inventory to the receptionist. “Is there no other way?”
The receptionist shook her head. “Not that I know of. Some spiritual fruits may help, but they’re rare and not exactly effective.”
At this moment, the level-two Soul Crystals were delivered.
Han Fei collected the level-two Soul Crystals and left.
After he left, the girl immediately said to her waist tag, “Han Fei, from the Empyrean Waterfall, exchanged for a hundred level-two Soul Crystals at one time. He may have extraordinary soul power. Take note.”
…
After leaving the Logistics Division, Han Fei looked back.
He suddenly realized why those who had six or more stars could set sail individually.
The reason was that the Logistics Division, the Refining Hall, and the other facilities mostly targeted Hanging Fishers and junior Hidden Fishers.
When someone acquired six stars, there would be few things they needed in the Logistics Division.
Those people only needed special things, such as level-two Soul Crystals, Spirit Awakening Fluid, special spiritual fruits, top-level battle techniques, etc.
While Han Fei was thinking, someone roared, “Attention, everybody! The sea demons are attacking on a full scale! Return to your position!”
Boats were rising and flying everywhere, and the previously busy downtown instantly became empty.
That was exactly the Scattered Stars Island’s attitude against enemies. Everybody was a soldier in moments like this even if they were on vacation.
What surprised Han Fei was that it had only been five months since the sea demons’ previous attack. The Ten Thousand Demon Valley had launched a total war in the demon jungle, and it was launching another one?
Thinking about that, Han Fei dashed to his boat and returned to the Empyrean Waterfall.
The Empyrean Waterfall was a place for the exiled, but it didn’t mean that the people at the Empyrean Waterfall did nothing more than talking and bragging every day…
By the time Han Fei returned to the Empyrean Waterfall, he found that the place was already empty.
Big Yellow, however, was running back and forth in midair.
“Meow!”
Seeing Han Fei, Big Yellow said, “They went to Big Yellow to catch fish and left me here for you.”
Han Fei was quite grave. Another full attack! Even the Empyrean Waterfall was empty. However, he sensed that Du Jiangliu was still around.
Du Jiangliu looked up at Han Fei. “I’ve made a breakthrough. I have to stay and defend this place. You take Big Yellow with you.”
Han Fei nodded. “Big Yellow, to the boat.”
Shua… Shua… Shua…
Boats were traveling in the sky, and everybody was returning to their positions. It meant that the sea demon’s assault was so surprising that few people on the Scattered Stars Island had reacted in time.
On the east coastline.
Countless boats were landing to different places. Han Fei and Big Yellow, standing on the boat, were both dazed.
“Big Yellow, do you know where we should go?”
Big Yellow replied casually, “It doesn’t matter! We can catch fish anywhere we want.”
Han Fei was stumped for a moment. “Can we do that?”
Big Yellow said lazily, “Of course! You can catch fish anywhere, but don’t let me catch worms. I don’t like worms, especially the squishy ones.”
Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “Have you come here before?”
Big Yellow tilted its head and said, “Of course! I’m a great fish catcher! However, I don’t need to intervene at all unless the people down below can’t defeat their enemy.”
Han Fei learned that Hidden Fishers and Law Enforcers were meant to deal with the sea demon experts.
That did make sense. The battles that involved Hidden Fishers were not limited to the shoreline at all.
Before Han Fei could think further, a boat had stopped next to Han Fei, and a rather charming woman looked at Han Fei and said solemnly, “I am Luo Yu from the Guild of Fishers. I need your assistance.”
