God of Fishing

Chapter 622: Reunion of the Team

After leaving the Refining Hall, Han Fei felt rather good that he had obtained a new skill.

Immediately, he took out his badge.

“Hello! Xiaobai, are you there?”

“Hey! Le Renkuang!”

“Xia Xiaochan, where are you?”

“Zhang Xuanyu, what about you?”

Soon after Han Fei called out, Luo Xiaobai replied first. “Wait a moment. I’ll come back in half an hour.”

Le Renkuang was next. “I’m coming. Where are you?”

“I’m at the gate of the Refining Hall.”

There was still no response from Xia Xiaochan, but Zhang Xuanyu soon replied, “Wait for me. I’ll be right there.”

A moment later, the three of them joined each other.

Upon seeing Han Fei, Zhang Xuanyu laid his hand on Han Fei’s shoulder. “Fei, let me tell you, the Scattered Stars Island is truly an interesting place, and the nightclubs are great! Do you want me to give you a tour?”

Han Fei was lost for words. “Wait a moment, when did you go there?”

“I went last night! I asked Le Renkuang if he wanted to go, but he said he was busy. You, Xiaobai and Xia Xiaochan weren’t around, so I had to go there by myself!”

Han Fei asked in surprise, “Huh? But I was around. I’ve been in the Refining Hall the whole time. I didn’t receive your message.”

Zhang Xuanyu was rendered speechless. “That’s not right! I called you three times.”

Han Fei looked back at the Refining Hall, wondering if it was blocking the signals. Or maybe, it was because the badge wasn’t as effective as he thought it to be, and the signals would be out over only a short distance.

After a while, Luo Xiaobai finally arrived. She greeted Han Fei and the others and then said, “Xiaochan is rather far away from here. We’ll probably have to wait for her for an hour or two.”

Han Fei was confused. “Have you seen her?”

Luo Xiaobai nodded. “When I was at the southern coastline, I heard that a Dark Hunter Legion was there. I called her, and she was right there.”

Han Fei shrugged. “Then we might as well wait a while longer.”

While they waited for Xia Xiaochan, Zhang Xuanyu asked, “Have you been on the sea yet?”

Le Renkuang shook his head. “No. So far, I’ve only been to the Inferno Beach once. I fought there for half a day and then returned.”

Luo Xiaobai added, “I fought even shorter than Le Renkuang did. I was only asked to help with the battle at the Silent Lake when I toured the island. It lasted no more than an hour.”

Zhang Xuanyu grinned. “Then I’ve seen more than you have. I’ve fought a couple of times, mostly on the beach. I found that there are plenty of beaches on the Scattered Stars Island. Also, let me tell you, there are Inferior Man-Fish on the Scattered Stars Island. I’ve fought them twice. They were rather good.”

Han Fei was slightly surprised. “You’ve met Inferior Man-Fish?”

Zhang Xuanyu nodded. “Plenty of them. They’re one of the primary enemies the Scattered Stars Island is faced with.”

They were sitting by a lake, when Han Fei heard Xia Xiaochan’s telepathic voice, Han Fei, you there?

I’m right here at the gate of the Refining Hall. Come here.

A moment later, Xia Xiaochan hopped close and was surprised to see Luo Xiaobai and the others. “Hey! You’re all here!”

Han Fei glanced at Xia Xiaochan. “What’s with your dark clothes? They aren’t pretty.”

Xia Xiaochan glared at Han Fei. “It’s the standard uniform of the Dark Hunter Legion. We all wear this in the legion. I forgot to change…”

Han Fei grinned. “Come on and give me a hug. Let’s see if you’ve put on weight.”

Clink!

Xia Xiaochan stabbed her dagger at him. “Do you think I have?”

Han Fei declared solemnly, “No, you definitely lost weight!”

“Cough, cough!”

Zhang Xuanyu muttered, “Can you do this in private?”

Luo Xiaobai was staring at the big sign of the Refining Hall. Seeing that they stopped, she finally turned around. “Let’s go to a quiet place and exchange the information we’ve learned!”

Zhang Xuanyu had an idea. “I know just the place to go! Let’s go to the nightclubs! There are special and soundproof booths in there.”

Han Fei immediately looked at Zhang Xuanyu and asked telepathically, How do you know they’re soundproof? What did you do in there?

Zhang Xuanyu briefly paused. I didn’t do anything…

These nightclubs were established for the survivors of major disasters to celebrate.

The slogan of those nightclubs was, “We don’t know when we will die, but we can live as happily we can until we die.”

When they entered a nightclub, they were embraced with a filthy smell that felt like that in a bar. The tables were all occupied by people who were drinking, talking and laughing.

However, what caught most attention was the revealing clothes that the girls were wearing. Zhang Xuanyu’s eyes were glowing as he watched them.

They were also surprised that people were playing the Fish Dragon card game.

Zhang Xuanyu said, “I’ve already asked about the Fish Dragon cards. There’s no telling who introduced it here, but it has become popular on the Scattered Stars Island in recent years.”

Han Fei was lost for words, wondering who had stolen his idea without the courtesy of informing him.

Zhang Xuanyu said, “Don’t bother with the Fish Dragon cards yet. You won’t get any answers. They’re available on the Scattered Stars Island anywhere.”

Zhang Xuanyu waved his hand and said to a two-star waitress, “We’d like a quiet booth.”

Seeing that the waitress had two stars, Han Fei couldn’t help but frown. But he didn’t say anything.

Very soon, they all entered a special booth that seemed to be covered in a thick skin and had a soundproof array on the floor.

Mr. Hexagon Starfish, which had been hiding on Xia Xiaochan’s shoulder, suddenly said, “This soundproof array isn’t good. It’s incomplete and may leak sound.”

Everybody’s expression slightly changed, and Han Fei said, “Then why don’t you set up one for us already?”

Xia Xiaochan took the Hexagon Starfish off from her shoulder and stuck it to Han Fei’s. “You take this burden away. It keeps asking for food every day.”

The Hexagon Starfish waved its tentacles and added a new soundproof array to the existing one in the room.

Luo Xiaobai said, “Give us a Stealth Array. This place seems to have all kinds of people. We’d better be careful.”

A moment later…

The five of them sat down in a circle.

Luo Xiaobai said, “Let’s gather the information we know.”

Xia Xiaochan said, “I’ve been fighting every day and killed more than twenty Inferior Man-Fish on my own. As far as I know, the Inferior Man-Fish are very common within a thousand kilometers of the Scattered Stars Island, and they’re all fairly strong.”

Han Fei asked quickly, “You’ve already set sail as a new member?”

“I’m in a special squad that’s dedicated to assassinations.”

Zhang Xuanyu spoke up, “I’ve met the Inferior Man-Fish a few times myself. However, as far as I know, those Inferior Man-Fish are not a thousand kilometers away. Sometimes, they’re even on the beach or hiding under the cliffs. Also, I’m told some Inferior Man-Fish can hide themselves and ambush human beings.”

Xia Xiaochan exclaimed, “Then wouldn’t they be just like hunters?”

“I’ve never met that kind of Inferior Man-Fish with my own eyes. Maybe!”

Han Fei shook his head. “Me neither. However, I went through a defense battle a few days ago. A tide of Tide Calling Crabs attacked the Skeleton Shore, but reinforcements came in time.”

Le Renkuang said, “I’ve been organizing the supplies and familiarizing myself with the rules to use the points. I haven’t seen any Inferior Man-Fish yet, but let me tell you, you’d better get more stars as soon as possible. There will be a lot of benefits, and you will enjoy a discount when you spend your points.”

Everybody was immediately refreshed.

Han Fei’s eyes lit up. “A discount? What kind of discount are we talking about?”

Zhang Xuanyu exclaimed, “Are you serious?”

Le Renkuang said, “Of course, but the discount starts when you have five stars and you can enjoy a 5% discount. Six stars will have a 10% discount! If you have distinguishing performances on the Spirit Awakening Fluid and get titles, you’ll have more discounts… Also, you can exchange points for a lot of things other than Spirit Awakening Fluid…”

Le Renkuang named a lot of things. In particular, he talked about the Spirit Awakening Fluid, Soul Crystals, and Longevity Stones.

First of all, he confirmed that the price for the Spirit Awakening Fluid here was higher than that Uncle Faceless offered. It was five thousand points for one cattie, which meant that fifty million points, or five billion mid-quality pearls, were required to buy ten thousand catties.

As a matter of fact, according to Old Bai’s exchange rate, probably 6.5 to 7 billion mid-quality pearls were needed to exchange for the points.

It meant that even if one robbed a dragon boat, the money they looted was only enough to buy ten thousand catties of Spirit Awakening Fluid. It was not hard to imagine how important the Spirit Awakening Fluid was.

As for the Soul Crystals, they weren’t cheap either. A level-one Soul Crystal was three thousand points, and a level-two crystal was ten times more expensive.

The Longevity Stones, in particular, caught everybody’s attention too.

Le Renkuang said, “I only noticed it because its price was too high. One Longevity Stone is worth 100,000 points. It’s said that it can increase the longevity of a Dangling Fisher by ten years, and a Hanging Fisher or Hidden Fisher by one year.”

…

About a moment later, when everybody finished talking, Luo Xiaobai said, “Okay, I’m going to summarize what you said and expand on what you missed. Listen up.”
