Chapter 613: Blatant Criticism
The battle was over the moment the Wolf King Crab died.
The Tide Calling Crabs and the Big Sword Water Fleas all ebbed like a tide.
However, everybody was looking at Han Fei.
Han Fei: “???”
“Pu!”
Han Fei suddenly vomited blood and fell on the ground. His face was pale, and his spiritual energy was unsteady.
“Ah, not good! My body has been hurt by the recoil of my secret technique… Gu Daliang, give me a hand! I can’t move anymore!”
Everybody was greatly relieved to see that his overuse of a secret technique made a lot of sense. If Han Fei were unhurt after launching such a dreadful attack, he would’ve been too astoundingly strong.
But even so, the ability to burst out such a terrifying force suggested that Han Fei’s best attack was as good as that of an advanced Hanging Fisher.
Whether or not Han Fei used any secret techniques, his previous punch was shocking enough.
Not just the punch, Han Fei’s rampage on the battlefield with ten ultra-quality spiritual weapons was mind-blowing to many people too.
Zong Han took a few steps and landed next to Han Fei. He frowned and asked, “What’s the side effect of your secret technique?”
Han Fei struggled to open his mouth. “That I’ll be at anyone’s mercy after this punch. However, if I’m nurtured with spiritual fruits, I’ll recover sixty percent of my combat ability by this time tomorrow.”
“Your recovery is so fast?”
Zong Han was rather surprised. He speculated that it must’ve been an advanced secret technique, or the recovery couldn’t have been so fast. Remembering the weapons Han Fei used just now, Zong Han was further a.s.sured that Han Fei was probably the richest and strongest student from the 36 towns this time.
Zong Han frowned. “Go back and take a rest. You have the same realm as a peak-level Dangling Fisher. Don’t fight too much for now until you become a peak-level Dangling Fisher.”
Han Fei nodded. “Okay, no problem.”
Gu Daliang was about to carry Han Fei on his back, when Han Fei said quickly, “Easy, it hurts… Just give me a hand while I walk.”
Gu Daliang grinned. “You don’t need to walk. We’ll go back on a boat.”
Han Fei even dropped a spiritual fruit into his mouth. Finally, he looked better than before.
In the meantime, he kept groaning as if he had been greatly wounded.
The four-star Hanging Fishers from the guardian legions landed and looked at Han Fei weirdly.
Someone asked, “Has he tempered his body to its hardest level?”
Someone affirmed, “Definitely. Otherwise, he couldn’t have endured that amount of violent energy.”
One of the commanders nodded solemnly. “I finally understand why you are just an advanced Dangling Fisher! You’re trying to become a Hanging Fisher on the path of body tempering!”
They discussed with each other and a.n.a.lyzed what he would be faced with after he made a breakthrough in body tempering.
Eventually, they all agreed that if Han Fei made a breakthrough in such a path, he would be as strong as regular intermediate Hanging Fisher. If he fused with his spiritual beasts and used the same secret technique, it would be half as exhausting.
After they a.n.a.lyzed Han Fei’s way of training with their preconceptions, they were no longer surprised, as someone who tempered their body for so long like Han Fei did should be strong.
While the other scouts were still shocked, Gu Daliang had already taken Han Fei back on a boat.
On the boat, Han Fei asked eagerly, “How many points can we get this time?”
Wu Xiaoxiao said in a strained voice, “Captain, you should care about your health rather than points.”
Han Fei said, “I’m only considering you! Look at you. You don’t even have weapons, and you have to pick garbage on the sh.o.r.e. I really can’t bear watching that…”
Gu Daliang blushed. “Is… Is that really so embarra.s.sing?”
Han Fei said solemnly, “Is it not? You don’t have any weapons in your weapon box. How much less do you want?”
Frowning, You Lingyun looked at Han Fei. “Well… Weren’t you in a lot of pain?”
“Right… Ouch… It really hurts…”
Everyone: “…”
Wu Xiaoxiao raised her fingers and counted. “The points for such a ma.s.sive battle are always distributed evenly! However, you cut through the battlefield and helped Commander Zong Han, so you should receive ten thousand points.”
Han Fei was stunned. “Wait, just ten thousand?”
“That’s a lot. You might have reaped twenty thousand points if you had killed the Wolf King Crab by yourself. Normally speaking, few people could get ten thousand points in one battle. Only the four-star experts can do that.”
Han Fei thought for a minute. “I forgot to ask. How many points is a Tide Calling Crab worth?”
You Lingyun replied, “Thirty.”
Han Fei didn’t know what to say. “Haven’t I killed more than a thousand of them?”
Wu Xiaoxiao giggled. “Captain, you can’t count it that way, because your mission was to subst.i.tute for someone else. If you get all the points, won’t it mean that the other six thousand soldiers get none?”
Han Fei realized that it did make sense. He shouldn’t steal too many points in the first battle, and he should keep a low profile.
However, it seemed that he had already caught too much attention. Should he lay low for a while?
Thinking about that, Han Fei decided that he should be an excellent captain in the next couple of months and behave weaker than the commander and stronger than regular captains. That wouldn’t be too high a profile.
He grinned and said. “Well, I picked several dozen Tide Calling Crab pincers when I killed them. That’s where all their essence is gathered. It probably tastes good. Let’s go and have some food.”
“Pu!”
His teammates all looked at him, dumbfounded. You had the time to pick the crab pincers during the battle? Are you a demon?
…
Under Han Fei’s tree hut, the five of them were seated on the ground, and Gu Daliang took the crab pincers that Han Fei emptied delightedly.
Han Fei was lost for words. “Daliang, why do you want so many crab pincers?”
Gu Daliang chuckled and said, “Those pincers are not really high-quality spiritual weapons, but they’re close. They’re even harder than mid-quality spiritual weapons.”
Wu Xiaoxiao poked Han Fei with her finger. “Captain, not everybody can present ten ultra-quality spiritual weapons as easily as you can…”
Leng Hui said casually, “Not to mention that they have sealed souls in them.”
Pondering for a moment, You Lingyun asked, “Captain, do you want to switch s.h.i.+fts with another squad tomorrow since you’re not recovered yet?”
Han Fei quickly shook his head. “That’s unnecessary. I’ll be 80% recovered by this time tomorrow.”
“Huh?”
Wu Xiaoxiao looked at Han Fei. “Captain, didn’t you say that you could only be 60% recovered by this time tomorrow?”
Han Fei was briefly stunned. “Oh, brain fart. I will be 60% recovered. But that’s already enough. Our mission can’t be so dangerous every time, can it?”
Gu Daliang was worried. “Are you sure you can do that?”
Han Fei grinned. “Of course. Don’t panic. I, for one, am not panicked at all… When will you get your points? Can you replace your equipment? Gu Daliang, add a few s.h.i.+elds and blades to your weapon box, will you? Also, Wu Xiaoxiao, what’s the technique that you practice? You don’t have enough spiritual energy at all. You, too, Leng Hui, your movement technique is horrible. You make it hard for me to work as a captain…”
Wu Xiaoxiao pouted out her cheeks. “Captain, are you criticizing us?”
Han Fei quickly denied itm “I’m not; I’m just reminding you.”
Wu Xiaoxiao frowned. “But you are despising us…”
Han Fei shot back, “Hey, don’t you play cute. You’re even older than I am.”
“Little brother, I’m shorter than you.”
“But you’re still older than me!”
Han Fei and Wu Xiaoxiao began to bicker, which was rather fun for their other teammates. Even someone as cold as Leng Hui had curled lips.
In the end, You Lingyun interrupted them, “Han Fei, you are the captain. Was what you said a suggestion? If needed, we can spend our points.”
Han Fei said solemnly, “Yes, I was speaking the truth. You do have a lot of disadvantages, particularly Xiaoxiao and Daliang. Have you never noticed them before?”
Gu Daliang looked at his feet. “I had a lot of weapons in the past, but they all exploded in the battle where our former captain died.”
Wu Xiaoxiao spoke for herself, “I have! But I don’t have any money to change it. We spent all our points in the advancement. We acc.u.mulated some points, but they were all wasted in the great battle last time.”
Han Fei knew what she was talking about. “The one three months ago?”
Leng Hui nodded. “We encountered dozens of exotic creatures. The former captain sacrificed himself to protect us.”
Han Fei was stunned and rather admired the former captain. If it were him, he probably would’ve abandoned those people if he couldn’t defeat the enemy.
Pondering for a moment, Han Fei said, “How about this. You will buy equipment and techniques after lunch. If my points are allotted to me, you’re free to use them too.”
Everybody immediately raised their head, because it was ten thousand points that he talked about!
Han Fei grinned. “The points aren’t very important to me right now. I have a feeling that I may have a breakthrough in the next month. If you’re stronger, our reconnaissance missions will be safer, and I won’t have to use my secret technique when anything happens, which will be bad for my foundation.”
In the evening, Han Fei’s points were transferred to him.
To be more precise, he got 9,200 points, and the others each got 1,000 points. The way that the points were distributed was rather strange too. The total balance of the points was displayed right on the back of their star badges.
Han Fei realized that this star badge was not just something that could save his life but also could be used as a bank card.
The transfer was very convenient. All one needed to do was to activate the badge with one’s mind and swipe it on the target’s badge. Then, they could transfer as many points as they pointed.
What Han Fei thought of first was not the mechanism behind the item, but the prospect of continuing his robbing career.
