Enough joking around!
The Colonel was well-respected, so once he opened his mouth, all 3,000 soldiers hushed.
His gaze swept across the crowd and said in a solemn voice, “From today onward, that mysterious elite is I, Hao Yue’s, savior! He is also our 2nd Regiment’s savior! Without him, our entire troop will have died in the hands of that Silver-tier Giant Beast! So, I am laying down an order effective immediately: No one is allowed to disrespect our savior! Those who violate that order will be punished according to martial law!”
“Sir, yes, sir!”
The whole team complied.
If Chen Xiaobei had not shown up on time, the Colonel would have been murdered and the Silver-tier Giant Beast would have continued its attack on the rest of the carriers.
There was also a chance that other Demonic Beasts might have appeared at the scene. The 3,000 soldiers would have no chance of surviving the horde’s attack.
It was not only the Colonel who was grateful. A good number of them felt indebted to the mysterious elite.
They would never have in a million years figured that the person who had saved them was standing at the back of the brown, watching them.
Chen Xiaobei made no plans to explain anything to them. He merely observed them like a wise man, chuckling to himself inside.
He knew everything, yet he said nothing.
After that, the a.s.sembly dispersed.
Chen Xiaobei finally had the chance to ask his questions, “Brother Ning, how many Spiritual Stones would you say a Silver-tier Giant Beast would sell for?”
“Little Zhufeng! You really are quite a miser! You just can’t stop talking about Spiritual Stones!” Liu Chen said, “This is not an insult but, with your cultivation, you won’t ever be able to kill a Silver-tier Giant Beast! Not in a hundred years!”
Chen Xiaobei simply laughed it off. “It’s always good to dream. What if it really happens someday?”
“Yes! We must have goals! That way we can always improve ourselves!” Ning Yuchen backed Chen Xiaobei up, “Silver-tier Giant Beasts are worth an unusual amount of money! Its hide is worth hundreds of medium-grade Spiritual Stones! One piece of bone is also worth about the same! Its internal organs, on the other hand, are worthless but they could sell for about a ten medium-grade Spiritual Stones! That’s roughly a total of 300 medium-grade stones! Of course, I’ve never seen anyone sell any of that! So, that’s just an estimation. To get a more solid number, you’ll have to consult the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce!”
Ning Yuchen did not know much about it so he merely did an educated guess.
“What about the Beast Core? How many Spiritual Stones is that worth?” Chen Xiaobei asked again.
“Are you crazy?” Liu Chen cut in. “That’s a rare Spiritual Item! It’s super effective for training! No one would ever sell that!”
“That’s true.” Chen Xiaobei nodded, knowing very well that he himself would never have the heart to sell the Beast Core.
“Oh, right, Brother Ning, where is this Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce you were talking about?”
Chen Xiaobei was relentless.
‘Why do you want to know?”
Liu Chen eyed him suspiciously.
“I want to kill Demonic Beasts with my own bare hands all day long. So, I’m just trying to get a better understanding. Is that alright with you?” Chen Xiaobei said, “Colonel Hao Yue wouldn’t allow me to train with you or go on missions with you. So, I’ll just walk around when I’m bored.”
“Mm, it’s good to get a feel of things beforehand!” Ning Yuchen said, “The Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce is on 2nd Street. It’s open 24/7. You can go whenever you want!”
“Alright! I really need to go to the toilet now!” Chen Xiaobei said before running off, away from the group.
Of course Chen Xiaobei was not stupid enough to go to the Chamber of Commerce now. He found a hiding place where no one would find him and took out the spirit cage, and commissioned Qie Loulan to make a mask of a serious-looking old man.
No one would a fresh-faced twenty-year-old seriously. People dismiss as a fool claiming to sell the parts of a Silver-tier Giant Beast. They would kick him out without a second thought.
Chen Xiaobei was not afraid of that, of course. He had been facing this sort of discrimination since the beginning! And he had always used the truth to prove them wrong. But today, the circ.u.mstances were a little different, Chen Xiaobei was an illegal visitor who had slipped through the cracks to get to Northern Wilderness Starfield.
If his cover was blown, he would either have to run for his life or be forced out of Northern Wilderness Starfield.
After he was done giving Qie Loulan the instructions, Chen Xiaobei returned to his room.
Qie Loulan finished the mask the next morning. Coincidentally, Ning Yuchen and the others had to go for training.
Chen Xiaobei took the opportunity to head to Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce.
Because it was on 2nd Street, near the residences of the half-n.o.bles, everything was exceptionally luxurious and metropolitan.
66th Street, where Sister Hua’s tavern was, was a slum compared to this place.
This Chamber of Commerce was managed by the Northern Wilderness Temple themselves. They were divided into branches that were categorized according to the capital cities of each planet in Northern Wilderness Starfield. It was the biggest commerce chamber, known all throughout Northern Wilderness Starfield!
These branches had become the economic bloodline of Northern Wilderness Starfield. Over time, it had earned a large return for the Northern Wilderness Temple. You could say that it was one of the most important cornerstones of Northern Wilderness Temple.
As far as the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce was concerned, their continuous prosperity all these years were due to the stringent regulation they had practiced. Regardless of who they were doing business with, they would always ensure that they were treated fairly and objectively
The word ‘Integrity’ was the signature of the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce!
That was why everyone—from the n.o.bles to the unemployed vagrants, would think of the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce first whenever they wanted to trade.
With the a.s.surance of honesty, Chen Xiaobei had nothing to worry about. He only had to play his part well and keep his ident.i.ty concealed.
After putting on the mask and a black cloak, Chen Xiaobei walked through the doors of the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce.
Just as he set foot into the place, a young man came up to him and asked in a polite manner, “Hi, sir. Are you here to sell or to buy?”
Chen Xiaobei used True Sound to speak in the voice of an elderly man, “I’m selling the whole of a Silver-tier Giant Beast! Give me a price!”
“What? Silver-tier Giant Beast?” There was a look of admiration and awe in the young man’s eyes.
Before a Silver-tier Giant Beast, those whose cultivation were below Celesitial cultivation were like helpless ants! Only those who possessed formidable strength were able to kill a Silver-tier Giant Beast!
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to make any decisions regarding this transaction.” The young man’s tone grew even more courteous and he even bowed. “Please follow me to the 3rd floor. The manager will discuss a price with you!”
“Alright.”
Chen Xiaobei nodded.
The place was huge, and the 3rd floor was a world of its own.
The place was painted black and solemnly decorated. Upon entering, you could feel a heavy, oppressive feeling forcing down on you. If a regular person were to enter this place, they might feel suppressed to the point of breathlessness.
“I didn’t expect a VIP like you will come to my shop. Sorry to keep you waiting!”
An old gentleman greeted Chen Xiaobei with a fist-and-palm salute.
Chen Xiaobei was taken aback for a moment when he spotted the silver feathers on the old gentleman’s ears.
He was a Silver Plume Citizen! A true n.o.ble of this planet!
