Chapter 2349: I’m Afraid You Can’t Afford It
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As the saying went, one shouldn’t slap a smiling man. The att.i.tude of these hedonistic children was too f*cking good. Although the gifts they gave were not good, Han Fei was at least sure of one thing. These people were very rich.
They casually took out an ultra-quality Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasures or 200,000 kilometers of resources. They obviously wanted something from him!
Han Fei’s heart stirred. They came to him with resources, asking for his help. Wasn’t this better than hunting and fighting in the wilderness? Although he was very rich now, who would mind having more resources?
Besides, he was molding the ground veins. After that, he would have to create the Star Core. And then, he had to refine his body and find a way to refine enough Golden Jade Marrow. He even had to prepare a batch of resources for the birth of the sixth divine pill of the Demon Purification Pot. All of these required resources.
There were a total of 14 hedonistic boys here. He had to see what they wanted him and Feng Xingliu to do. If each of them could provide 200,000 kilometers of resources, he could help them.
!!
However, he was comparable to a perfected Star Transformation Realm Realm cultivator now, so he had to have the aura a strong master should have.
Han Fei said casually, “If there’s nothing else, you can go now.”
Feng Xingliu was embarra.s.sed. He said, “Han Fei, Brother Cao and the others are here to make friends. Don’t coldshoulder them!”
Someone echoed, “Yes, yes. We all admire Brother Fei and really want to make friends with him.”
However, Han Fei sneered. “If you tell the truth, there’s still a need to talk. But if you don’t, there’s no need to talk. Make friends? Use these?”
Han Fei grabbed the long pipe that one of them gave him and waved it. “What, do you want to make me like you?”
Han Fei didn’t show any respect to these people. With his current strength, at least in the Divine Capital Dynasty, he didn’t have to show respect to many people.
“Huff~”
Many people exchanged looks with each other and seemed to have decided on something. Immediately, the person who was about to give the money to Han Fei chuckled. “Brother Fei, we do have a small request, but don’t worry, Brother Fei. For Brother Fei and Brother Xingliu, this matter is very simple…”
Seeing that Han Fei still had no reaction, the man hurriedly added, “We are willing to offer 200,000 kilometers of resources each. Well, each of us will offer 200,000 kilometers of resources respectively to Brother Fei and Brother Xingliu.”
Han Fei’s heart did a flip. Good lord, if it was double, it would be a lot of money.
Hearing that, Feng Xingliu immediately said angrily, “We’re brothers. How can I… Bam…”
Han Fei slapped Feng Xingliu’s head and said to him via voice transmission, “Shut up! Do you really think they treat you like a brother? They just need your help with something. Don’t pretend to be rich, OK?
Hearing Han Fei’s words, Feng Xingliu fell silent. He thought that he was too careless. Han Fei was very good at making money. He should have learned from Han Fei, but he was too hot-headed and fell for their flattery these days.
Feng Xingliu felt that he’d better keep his mouth shut now.
Hearing that they were willing to pay, Han Fei couldn’t help but grin. “Oh! I see. What’s your name?”
The man hurriedly said, “Luo Dafei, from the Luo Family of the Divine Capital Dynasty. Brother Fei, you can listen to what we have to say. It’s really a small matter for you.”
Han Fei grinned. He remembered that Chen Ye once told him that there were many big clans in the Divine Capital Dynasty, including the Luo family, the Wu family, the Li family, the Zhao family…
Han Fei said casually, “OK.”
Luo Dafei’s heart did a flip and he quickly said, “Brother Fei, it’s like this. Although we’re from big clans, we are actually the children of concubines. We have no choice! If we didn’t behave like playboys, how could we have survived until now? But this time, our family demanded us to partic.i.p.ate in the 10,000-year compet.i.tion. Therefore, we just want to ask Brother Fei to help. As long as Brother Fei and Brother Xingliu are willing to help, we can give you anything we have.”
Han Fei said expressionlessly, “First question, how do you know that I can protect you? Is there a probability of death in this compet.i.tion?”
Immediately, Luo Dafei and the others smiled bitterly. He said, “Brother Fei, this Ten-Thousand-Year Grand Compet.i.tion doesn’t start immediately. You know that there are too many people partic.i.p.ating in the Ten-Thousand-Year Grand Compet.i.tion. How can it start without screening out a large portion of them? Therefore, there are actually four rounds of qualifiers in total.”
“Four rounds?”
Han Fei frowned. He had just heard from Li Shenhao that there were three rounds. How did it become four?
One of the playboys said, “The first round is a basic test to eliminate those who sneaked in through unknown means or tricks in the wilderness, or those who bought qualification tokens. However, the elimination rate in this round shouldn’t be too high. Although it’s a basic test, it can also be considered one round.”
“The second round is ma.s.s elimination. It sets a goal, and only those who complete the goal within the allotted time can enter the next round of qualifiers. However, we don’t know what the third and fourth rounds are exactly. It’s said that they’re different from the previous ten-thousand-year compet.i.tions, so we dare not make wild guesses. However, we know that there will definitely be a fight between the partic.i.p.ants. This is because there has been such a fight every time. The probability of death is usually about 20%.”
“So high?”
Han Fei was surprised.
With more than 800,000 Sky Openers partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion, even if they eliminated a large number of Sky Openers after three rounds, 20% of them would be at least 30,000 to 40,000 Sky Openers.
Han Fei couldn’t help taking a breath. Thirty to forty thousand Sky Opening Realm cultivators had died so easily?
With the cultivation system and difficulty in the Sea Realm, Han Fei believed that there was such a high probability of death in the Sea Establishment realm. However, there was definitely no such thing in the Sky Opening realm.
After all, the Sky Opening Realm wasn’t something that could be found anywhere. Even in the City of Scavengers, how many Sky Opening Realm cultivators were there? From the governing cities to the Main City, and then to the so-called Infinite Mining Area, there might only be about 400 Sky Openers in total. a.s.suming that there were so many Sky Opening Realm cultivators in each of the three major powers in the Chaotic Wasteland, there were only more than 1,000 Sky Opening Realm cultivators.
Even if there were many big and small forces in the entire East Sea Divine Realm, and there might be countless Sky Opening Realm cultivators, it would be terrifying if thirty to forty thousand of them died at once.
Therefore, Han Fei’s first reaction was that it was impossible. Then he thought about it again and became even more sure. The Sky Opening Realm compet.i.tion happened once every 100,000 years. It was impossible for so many people to die.
Why was he so sure? Naturally, it was because of the ominousness the Time Temple showed him that might make a comeback.
The Sky Opening Realm was not small potatoes. G.o.d knew how long it would take for a cultivator to grow to the Sky Opening Realm. Others might not know this secret, but it was impossible for Great Monarch East Martial not to know it. As an absolute cultivator who could suppress the entire East Sea Divine Realm, Han Fei had reason to believe that Great Monarch East Martial definitely knew something.
However, Han Fei didn’t say his thoughts out loud. He simply said, “So, you came to me and Feng Xingliu to shelter you?”
Luo Dafei immediately smiled obsequiously. “Yes, yes, that’s it.”
Han Fei smiled and said, “Then let me ask you a question. Is there anyone in your respective families who wants your lives? I suggest you answer this question seriously. Although you are all playboys, you should know that once your family is involved, the price will be different. If you don’t tell me now, don’t blame us for not helping you in the future.”
“Huh?”
The popinjays heard two things from his words. One was whether their safety would involve their families, and the other was that Han Fei seemed to be willing to help them.
After a brief silence, one of the young men said, “Brother Fei, my name is Wu Bufan. To be honest, there are indeed people from the main branch of my family who want to get rid of me. If they really come, I promise to double the resources I promised Brother Fei. If Brother Fei can help me get rid of the person who wants to get rid of me, I can triple the resources I promised Brother Fei.”
Han Fei smiled contemptuously. “Three times 200,000 kilometers is not much money. If there is really a life-and-death battle, I can give you a certain amount of protection. 200,000 kilometers for pure protection. If anyone comes to attack you, 300,000 kilometers of resources. If you want to kill the one behind it, 500,000 kilometers of resources. However, this doesn’t include the fights between the core disciples of the big clans. If I kill a core member of your family, you should know I will have to face the wrath of those big clans, right? So, if it’s that kind of service…, 1 million kilometers of resources.”
With that, Han Fei raised the pipe in his hand, put it to his mouth, and took a breath.
“Huff… Ha…”
A mouthful of golden mist spewed out of his mouth and nose. At this moment, Han Fei was calm and casual, pricing the lives of the core disciples of the big clans.
“Huh? It actually tastes good.”
Han Fei praised.
Apart from Feng Xingliu, all the hedonistic children here were shocked.
After a while, Cao Mengde suddenly said, “Brother Fei, then… what if he is the heir of the main branch?”
Everyone couldn’t help but look at Cao Mengde, thinking that he was really bold.
“Huff… Ha…”
Han Fei took another puff of his pipe and pondered for a moment. “If he’s really the heir, do you think he doesn’t have someone protect him? That’s a special case, so the price depends! Don’t give me opponents at the level of Yi Qianxing. I don’t think you can afford the price.”
Everyone :”…”
