God of Fishing - Chapter 553
Chapter 553: About the 36-Town Exchange Competition
The plantation outside the Thug Academy, after nearly a year of cultivation, the vegetation had become more prosperous and the plants seemed to have grown twice as much as before.
Around the plantation were rows of golden wheat. However, the wheat was as thick as corn and the grains were full. Han Fei felt that with a single train of wheat, he could make dumplings enough for a meal.
The great effect of the Great Spirit Gathering Array could be seen. And this array was only set up by Han Fei. If it were the serial spirit gathering arrays on dragon boats, this place would be even dripping with spiritual energy.
Han Fei asked, “Are Qu Jinnan and Ling Yuan around?”
Wenren Yu said lightly, “They’re in the arena.”
Xia Xiaochan was surprised. “Haven’t they got the one hundred winning streak yet?”
Wenren Yu’s face suddenly turned black. “There are only two of them, so they can only play singles, which is more difficult.”
Han Fei was not interested in the arena thing at all now. He curiously said, “Miss Wenren, what battle do we need to fight? We’ve fought enough battles in the level-three fishery.”
Wenren Yu snorted. “It’s easy this time. But you did cause a lot of troubles in the level-three fishery and your Junior Uncle Faceless took much effort to clean up the mess you left.”
Han Fei bared his teeth and said, “Junior Uncle Faceless took 5 billion from us… Oh no, 7 billion.”
Wenren Yu stumbled and screamed in incredible exclamation, “How much?!”
Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan looked at each other. “7… 7 billion!”
BAM!
Then Han Fei turned into a perfect arc and flew into the school.
Qu Jinnan and Ling Yuan, who happened to come back, saw this scene far away.
Qu Jinnan was stunned. “Is that Advanced Brother Han Fei?”
Ling Yuan swallowed and nodded. “It seems to be… No… It must be.”
BAM!
Han Fei, who had just flown into the school, turned into a perfect arc again and flew out of the school.
Seeing Wenren Yu was about to whip him with her fishing rod again, Han Fei was furious. “Hey! You’re my teacher! Are you playing table tennis?”
Han Fei was whipped back to the school again but fortunately, he did not fly out again. Seeing this scene, Xia Xiaochan immediately flashed away.
While running, Xia Xiaochan screamed, “It’s none of my business. I’m innocent.”
“Humph!”
…
In the school, Han Fei was being hung upside down on the tree and said indignantly, “Old Bai, you are too much! We’re a family. Why don’t you ask Junior Uncle Faceless to return the money? Why are you venting on me?”
Old Bai was standing in front of Han Fei, his eyes were fierce. “If Faceless would give me money, would our school be so poor?!”
Han Fei was surprised. “But Isn’t Junior Uncle Faceless from our academy? He should contribute to the school, shouldn’t he?”
Xiao Zhan showed up from nowhere and said with a smile, “That guy needs money, but how can you give all your money to him? Why were you so stupid?”
Han Fei said angrily, “You are to blame, OK? You didn’t give us anything, no amulet barrier, no Immortal Seal. So we had to buy them! That’s why we spent all the money!”
Han Fei jumped down from the tree and curiously asked, “Why does Junior Uncle Faceless need so much money? Why didn’t he tell us he was our Junior Uncle in the first place? If Xiaobai hadn’t guessed it, he would still have kept it from us.”
Old Bai snorted. “It’s none of your business. However, you didn’t suffer any losses. Faceless gave you a lot of good stuff.”
Han Fei wondered, “Do you mean the Immortal Seal? Why is it so expensive?”
Old Bai squinted at Han Fei. “Didn’t he give you Spirit Awakening Fluid?”
Han Fei raised his brows. “Yes! A total of 3,315 catties. But we exchanged it with money.”
Xiao Zhan patted Han Fei on the shoulder. “Money can’t be exchanged for Spirit Awakening Fluid.”
Han Fei: “???”
Xia Xiaochan emerged from the tree at this moment. “Are you done beating him? OK, I’m coming out.”
Le Renkuang, Zhang Xuanyu, and Luo Xiaobai ran out cheerfully from the school.
Le Renkuang sighed. “You guys are finally back.”
Han Fei was astonished. “Huh? You guys are really fast. Why did you come back so soon?”
Wenren Yu mentioned that Old Bai was going to pick up Zhang Xuanyu and Luo Xiaobai. But it was still too fast.
Luo Xiaobai said lightly, “We came back last night.”
Zhang Xuanyu smiled. “Feifei! I heard that you two…”
Zhang Xuanyu blinked at Han Fei, only to be kicked away by Han Fei. “F*ck off, don’t bullsh*t us all day.”
Qu Jinnan and Ling Yuan also ran over with Wenren Yu.
Seeing Han Fei, they hurriedly said, “Advanced Brother.”
Han Fei looked back. “Oh, you’re already advanced great fishing masters?”
Qu Jinnan added, “I would also like to thank Senior Brother Han Fei for his instruction.”
Han Fei waved his hand. “It has nothing to do with me. It’s all your own efforts.”
Han Fei waved his hand again. “Come and have a look, I brought you gifts.”
Qu Jinnan and Ling Yuan looked at each other. “Gifts?”
Han Fei put his arm around Qu Jinnan’s shoulders. “Come, I’ll show you two the gifts on the mountain in case someone else tries to grab it.”
Old Bai said leisurely, “Starting from tomorrow morning, you’ll all go to class.”
Wenren Yu instructed, “Han Fei, go make lunch. I heard that Yellow-Blooded Sea Cucumbers taste good…”
Han Fei: “…”
…
After returning to school, everyone immediately relaxed and felt at home.
Han Fei, Le Renkuang, Qu Jinnan, and Ling Yuan were working in the open-air kitchen.
Han Fei gave dozens of low-quality spiritual weapons to Qu Jinnan and Ling Yuan. Although the low-quality spiritual weapons were not valuable to Han Fei, it was only relative. After all, many people in the level-three fishery were still using something like magic weapons.
Han Fei felt that he was much more generous than Old Bai. When they went to the level-three fishery, Old Bai just reluctantly gave them a few Sea Swallowing Seashells and some low-quality spiritual weapons.
Han Fei said, “Today, I’ve been inspired and came up with a new dish, steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers…”
Le Renkuang immediately looked at him. “Innovation? Let me have a look.”
Xia Xiaochan said, “I’m willing to eat whatever you make.”
Zhang Xuanyu scoffed. “Whatever… By the way, won’t we be like bullies if we participate in the 36-town exchange competition now?”
They were called back to join this game, but Han Fei didn’t even understand why they should participate in it.
He had heard Old Bai and the other teachers boasted that the Thug Academy used to sweep through the 36 towns and almost conquered the Thousand Star City.
But now, they had defeated the people from the Thousand Star City, robbed a dragon boat, and killed a Hanging Fisher. Why should they still participate in this low-grade competition?
Luo Xiaobai wondered, “It should be more than just playing a game.”
“Of course it’s more than that.”
Xiao Zhan appeared out of blue again, looked at the fish head first, and then said, “This kind of exchange competition is not difficult for you now. But this competition is the key to going to the Unknown Place.”
“Huh?”
Even Han Fei couldn’t help putting down the kitchen knife. “To the Unknown Place?”
Luo Xiaobai asked, “If we win, we can go to the Unknown Place?”
Xiao Zhan shook his head. “Accurately speaking, most of the participants in the competition can go to the Unknown Place.”
Han Fei was speechless. “Then why should we win this competition? We just need to join it.”
Xiao Zhan smiled. “Being a father or a son, which one do you want to be?”
Han Fei didn’t even think about it. “Of course father. A son must listen to his father!”
Xiao Zhan said, “So, your ranking will decide where you are after you go there. Do you still think this game is meaningless?”
Xia Xiaochan asked, “Are people divided into different classes in the Unknown Place?”
“Yes, this doesn’t sound good.”
Zhang Xuanyu pleaded, “Teacher, what exactly is this Unknown Place? Can you tell us about it in advance?”
Qu Jinnan and Ling Yu also pricked their ears. They hadn’t even gone to the level-three fishery, let alone the Unknown Place. But they were very curious about it because they had already been hearing about the Unknown Place.
Xiao Zhan smiled. “What’s the hurry? Do you think you can go there right away?”
“The competition will not start until a month later, so we will start class tomorrow. The competition process may be a bit boring, but you can just take it as a game. After the competition, you need to improve your own strength as much as possible. So, there will still be class time for about half a year. After that, you can go to the Unknown Place together…”
So according to Xiao Zhan, the real purpose of the game was just to get a better identity.
What kind of identity? Why must they compete with the heavenly talents from the 36 towns for that?
