“Oh, Xiao Tianquan wants to talk. It must be urgent!”
Chen Xiaobei made himself comfortable on the Somersault Cloud and opened the message.
Xiao Tianquan: Bro Bei! Something happened! Shen Gongpao asked for more men from G.o.d Erlang again! He is most certainly up to something! If I’m not mistaken, the people he’s sending this time are much stronger than the ones last time! ![?]()
Chen Xiaobei: When was this?
Xiao Tianquan: Only just now! But they might postpone descending from heaven for a few days!
Chen Xiaobei: Why would they postpone it? The last time he sent someone, they came within two days.
Xiao Tianquan: That’s because sending someone down to earth from heaven would diminish their strength due to True Nirvana Cultivation. If they want to descend to earth with a higher cultivation, they will need more time to prepare!
Chen Xiaobei: Mmm, I see… Don’t worry. My strength had increased so much more since the last time! What’s more, I managed to get the Ginseng Fruit. I could use its Special Ability to increase my cultivation in a very short time. The people they send may not be able to defeat me!
Xiao Tianquan: Mm, that’s good. I was worried that they might arrive so suddenly that you will be caught off guard. So, I just wanted to give you a heads up. By the way, how did you get the Ginseng Fruit? That’s really impressive! We were just discussing in the group that the Grand Deity Zhen Yuan would give you a hard time for that!
Chen Xiaobei: That’s easy, just cater to his interest! I sent him the most popular novel on earth!
Xiao Tianquan: What?! That… worked?! ![?]()
Chen Xiaobei: That’s right! It’s that simple! ![?]()
Xiao Tianquan: You really are the G.o.d Chen! Do you know how much more expensive Ginseng Fruit is compared to the Saturn Peach in the Heavenly Realm?!
Chen Xiaobei: Why is that? Don’t they work the same?
Xiao Tianquan: They do, but Saturn Peach is available all year round and the Ginseng fruit is so rare that it had ever only been eaten by a few deities! But you only used a book to exchange for one! Oh, it can’t get any better than this!
Chen Xiaobei: Are you interested? I can send it to you for free!
Xiao Tianquan: Forget it… I’ll just fall asleep… I’m not really that kind…
Chen Xiaobei: Haha, then I won’t give you any more trouble.
Xiao Tianquan: Oh, right! There’s something else! The Heavenly Hounds might travel to earth again this time. I can bring you some things. What do you want?
Chen Xiaobei: Woohoo! I want another Returning Bracelet! This item works really well but I could only mark one place. I’m afraid that’s not enough!
Xiao Tianquan: No problem. I will give you another one. But what they can bring out is limited. They can only bring the Returning Bracelet alone and nothing else or they’ll get suspicious.
Chen Xiaobei: I understand! Your safety is important! It’s fine even if you can’t bring anything over, it’ll better for you not to get suspected! Where you are at now is very different from earth, for danger is everywhere there!
Xiao Tianquan: Don’t worry. I’ve always been very careful. I have to go. Shen Gongpao just came out. I’ll go over to see if I can get more information. I’ll let you know if something new pops up!
Chen Xiaobei: Alright! Thank you!
Chen Xiaobei put away the phone, a smile stuck on his face.
The Heavenly Soldiers that came the last time now addressed Xiao Tianquan as Xiao Tian Divine Hound!
Chen Xiaobei wondered what this Xiao Tian Divine Hound looked like. He was so emphatic and reliable. Most importantly, he was really good to Chen Xiaobei!
If he did get a chance to get to heaven, surely, Chen Xiaobei must treat this special brother to a good drink.
…
The sky was already dark when he got out of the hospital. Right now, it was night.
“Ning Yuchen and the others must be on their way. This is also the busiest hour at Sister Hua’s tavern. I’d better not go trouble her…turns out I have nothing to do now…”
Chen Xiaobei sat on the Somersault Cloud, his palm cupping his chin, wondering what he should do to pa.s.s the time on this long dark night.
Ding ring ring!
His phone suddenly rang.
It was the manager of the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce, Gu Congwen.
“What does this old man want?” Chen Xiaobei’s wondered as he answered the call.
“Good evening, Mr. Chen!” Gu Congwen sounded very affable on the other end. “Have you had your dinner? If not, let us dine together! My treat!”
“Oh, I don’t think it’s just as simple as a dinner, is it?” Chen Xiaobei asked him back.
The truth, was that Chen Xiaobei was kind of hungry.
But he felt a little bad that Gu Congwen had to pay again.
It would have cost a few hundred Spiritual Stones for just one meal. Chen Xiaobei did not want to owe this man that kind of favor.
As he was talking to Gu Congwen on the phone, Chen Xiaobei took out a bottle of Hundred Herbs Potion.
He only needed to drink one bottle to make his hunger and fatigue go away.
But as he reached for the bottle, he suddenly realized that it was his last bottle!
Now that they could not send Private Red Envelopes, Chen Xiaobei would have to use a lot of merit points to buy another bottle.
Chen Xiaobei could feel a headache setting in.
The Hundred Herbs Potion he had been carrying with him had been gradually used up. Now that he only had one, he felt really uncomfortable!
“Haha! I like Mr. Chen’s candor! I do have a special proposition for you! There’s an auction going on tonight! Would you be interested in putting the Silver Giant Beast’s core up? I guarantee you will get a price that you’ll be more than happy with!”
“Auction?” Chen Xiaobei paused for a while. He then said, “I’m not selling the Beast Core, but, I am very interested in the auction!”
Chen Xiaobei had already absorbed the Beast Core during training. So, he had nothing to sell.
But he did have some medium-grade Spiritual Stones in his pocket. He might just be able to buy something there.
“Oh, it’s alright if you don’t sell anything. You can go take look around and maybe buy some things. Where are you now? I’ll send a car over to pick you up!”
Instead of answering him, Chen Xiaobei asked, “I’m curious. Why are you so eager? Were you the one who set up the auction?”
“Of course! The only people who could set up an auction are us, the Chamber of Commerce! Other people cannot afford to do this!”
That was why this old man was so keen in the first place.
Whether they sell or buy, Gu Congwen could draw a sizeable commission from for every successful bid!
“I’m at 1st Street. Just tell me what time it is. I’ll go there on my own.”
“Thank you Mr. Chen for your support! It begins at 8pm sharp. I will save a good seat for you! See you later!” Gu Congwen said with triumph in his voice.
“I’ll see you there!”
Chen Xiaobei looked at the time and quickly found a deserted place to land. He alighted the Somersault Cloud and sauntered to the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce.
