Chapter 1282: Silver Plume’s Current State
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Ermm…”
It was said that gorgeous ladies could do whatever they want. Since she refused to take off her veil, there was nothing Chen Xiaobei could do about it. Right after that, Liu Xuanxin took her leave and did not give Chen Xiaobei any chance to continue talking to her.
Seeing that Liu Xuanxin took her leave, he did not go after her. He knew that sooner or later she would become his woman. Chen Xiaobei had already made an appointment with Gu Congwen, which was today. He had to travel back to Northern Wilderness Starfield no matter what.
First, Chen Xiaobei took out the Returning Bracelet given by Wang Cai. He then set the retuning point at Bei Xuan Faction. By doing so, he could return to the space that he created or Bei Xuan Faction whenever he wanted to.
After that, he took out his first Returning Bracelet and teleported to Northern Wilderness Starfield.
At Silver Plume Planet.
Chen Xiaobei was on his way to Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce. The deal went by smoothly. In the end, he managed to purchase beast cores that were worth 1,500 medium-grade Spiritual Stones. With all these beast cores, Chen Xiaobei could increase his combat power and health to 150,000.
Yes!
You read it right!
As long as Chen Xiaobei managed to consume all these beast cores, his combat power and health would soar to greater heights! One thing that he had to pay attention to was the fact that he had to make sure he completely digested all the beast cores before he could actually increase his combat power and health. On the other hand, it was still not enough for him to absorb the essence of the beast cores. He would need a hell of a long time to make sure all the beast cores completely disappeared from his body.
According to his past experience, he would need around one hour to increase combat power and health by 100. If he wanted to increase to a total of 150,000, he would need 1,500 hours to complete the process. That was equivalent to 62.5 days! Combined with all the beast cores that he currently owned, he would need at least 70 days to digest everything.
To Chen Xiaobei, that was too time-consuming. After all, the trip to Black Desert was just right around corner but his cultivation had not improved much for quite some time. It was only normal that he was frustrated about it. If he had enough lifespan to use the Sunlight Cache, he would only take 70 minutes to complete his training. One could imagine how desperate Chen Xiaobei was in acquiring more lifespan.
However, there was simply no way for Chen Xiaobei to acquire more lifespan right now. He would have to wait for the right time to get more of it. While waiting for Old Leader to write three million words, Chen Xiaobei had to squeeze as much time as possible to increase his cultivation.
“Mr. Chen. As a friend, I would like to give you a piece of advice before you complete the deal. Actually, you don’t have to buy so many beast cores in one go! I don’t think you can use all of them in such a short period of time anyway. It’s better for you to save some Spiritual Stones for yourself in case you need them later in your life!”
“I have my reasons. I really have to buy all of them in one go. Don’t worry. I still have some Spiritual Stones with me. It will not affect my daily life.”
As he could only use the Dark Power for one more time, it was ideal for him to absorb as many beast cores as possible. He could store them inside his body and wait for them to be slowly digested. As for the Dark Power, he would have to wait for a very long time before he could use it again.
Considering that he had just acquired 50,000 lower-grade Spiritual Stones from Penglai Faction, he could almost buy everything he needed to carry on with his life.
“Alright! Since you still have some Spiritual Stones with you, Mr. Chen, I won’t worry about you anymore!”
Gu Congwen nodded his head and marked down the trade in his account book.
“Elder Gu. I want to ask you something! How come there are so many soldiers on the street?”
“Haven’t you heard about it? A person called Lu Yiju was found dead on 1st Street. I heard he was the bastard son of Lu Family. The general of Silver Plume City is assigned to investigate this case! The Lu Family had just announced that they will look the murderer no matter how long it takes!”
“Lu Yiju… How’s the investigation going on so far? Are they really going to investigate till they find the murderer?”
“It seems like they have just reached an impasse in the investigation. The murderer did not leave any traces behind. All those investigators do not know where and when to even begin. I guess they would have to eventually let this case go.”
“I see… I have nothing else that I want to ask. I think I will take my leave now…”
Chen Xiaobei then left the Chamber of Commerce. The thing that Lu Yiju had just told Chen Xiaobei could be considered as a reminder. There were still many issues waiting for Chen Xiaobei to solve at the Northern Wilderness Starfield!
First, Chen Xiaobei had managed to offend the young master of Lu Family, Lu Changwei, during the auction. Right after the auction, Chen Xiaobei travelled back to earth and Lu Changwei could not locate him. However, Chen Xiaobei realized that Lu Changwei would eventually cross paths with him and make him pay for what he did to him.
Second, in order to protect Ju Niao, Chen Xiaobei crippled the faction leader of the Black Dragon Faction. Coincidently, this faction was a backup faction of Lu Family. To make matters worse, Ju Niao had not called Chen Xiaobei recently. That would mean Lu Family did not have the time to investigate this matter. Still, trouble would ultimately come knocking at Chen Xiaobei’s door.
Third, the investigation about the destruction of Atlantis was still ongoing. Chen Xiaobei had no idea at all about the progress of their investigation.
Amongst these three matters, the third matter was the most dire to Chen Xiaobei. After all, Chen Xiaobei did leave traces behind at Atlantis. Things could take a worse turn if the investigation was extended to the Japan region.
“I should leave the first two matters behind first. I will not make any move if my enemies remain idle! As for the third matter, I will have to figure out a way to update myself. If not, I could end up dead even before I find out anything!”
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei walked to the inner city’s huge gate. At Silver Plume City, the nobles and the ordinary civilians were separated by a huge wall. The nobles lived inside the inner city and the ordinary civilians lived in the outer city. The ordinary civillians were forbidden to step foot inside the inner city. Just like what Chen Xiaobei had expected, he was stopped by guards before he could enter the inner city. Judging by their looks, both the guards were nobles that came from the inner city.
“You there! Kid! Stop right there! You will be breaking the law if you take one more step!” said one of the guards.
“Of course, if you are tired of living, feel free to take another step! According to the law, we are allowed to kill any intruders!” said the other.
However, Chen Xiaobei chose to ignore their warnings and took another step forward.
“Motherf*cker! It seems like this kid has lost his will to live! Are the laws of Silver Plume City a joke to you?!”
Soon after that, both of the guards picked up their long spears and prepared to capture Chen Xiaobei.
“Open up your blind eyes widely and look at this! I wonder who’s the one tired of living!”
With a calmed look, Chen Xiaobei took out a platinum token.
