Chapter 623: Fight

Having worked in the Command Center, Luo Xiaobai had the most extensive information of all.

She wasn’t idle in the past fews days but learned a lot basic knowledge as well as the overall layout of the Scattered Stars Island.

Luo Xiaobai simply said, “Firstly, let’s start from the Scattered Stars Island itself…”

“As far as I know, the Scattered Stars Island emerged before the Thousand Star City and the 36 towns.”

“Huh? It has such a long history?”

“Its history is even longer than the Thousand Star City’s?”

Luo Xiaobai pretended that she was infuriated. “Don’t interrupt me! Let me finish.”

She continued, “There are few books on the connection between the Scattered Stars Island and the Thousand Star City. However, it can be confirmed that the Scattered Stars Island has existed since the very beginning, which also means that it’s not unique. There may be other islands out there in the sea just like the Scattered Stars Island.”

“The Scattered Stars Island can be roughly divided into four battle lines in four directions. But if we divide it more carefully, there are actually eight battle lines that are defended by eight guardian legions.”

“In every battle line, there are senior scouts, pioneers, dark hunters and most importantly of all, the guardians.”

“There are actually many dangers that lurk within the Scattered Stars Island, but not as many as before. Still, many places are still unpopulated, such as the Twisted Jungle… I haven’t learned much about it yet.”

Just like a military planner, Luo Xiaobai spoke eloquently, “We all have to stick to our positions during war, but in peacetime, there are a lot of things we can do. The pioneers and the dark hunters, in particular, don’t even need to take part in the major battles.”

“The pioneers are responsible for exploring the sea around the Scattered Stars Island and finding treasure troves.”

“The requirements to be a dark hunter are the strictest because they’re always in the front line and it’s very dangerous. However, the returns are generous too. You can be promoted quickly in the Dark Hunter Legion.”

Han Fei couldn’t help but look at Xia Xiaochan. “Is it dangerous?”

Xia Xiaochan shrugged. “Not really. It won’t be a big problem for me.”

Han Fei was worried. “Take care of yourself. You’d better try to become a Hanging Fisher first.”

Luo Xiaobai nodded. “That’s right. Xiaochan, you need to become a Hanging Fisher as quickly as possible, or it will be harder and harder for you to fight in the Dark Hunter Legion.”

She continued, “We’re doing this for a single purpose: the Spirit Awakening Fluid.”

“Huh?”

Han Fei frowned. “Is the Spirit Awakening Fluid so important?”

“It’s even more important than we imagined. As far as I know, the Spirit Awakening Fluid can not only accelerate the growth of spiritual beasts but also increase the aptitudes of cultivators… By aptitude, I mean your Spiritual Heritage.”

“Huh!”

Zhang Xuanyu exclaimed, “Seriously? Spiritual Heritage can be improved?”

Luo Xiaobai nodded. “According to books, most people’s Spiritual Heritage is incomplete, but it can be optimized with Spirit Awakening Fluid. Of course, the improvement is not infinite. You can’t be further improved after you dig out the full potential of your Spiritual Heritage.”

Le Renkuang was excited. “That already sounds awesome enough!”

Mr. Hexagon Starfish added, “Can I have some of that? I think it can help a starfish too.”

Han Fei said angrily, “Get lost! Even we don’t have the privilege of having that, and you want it?”

Luo Xiaobai chuckled. “It’s true that Senior Hexagon Starfish can drink it. It seems that the Spirit Awakening Fluid works better on sea creatures than it does on human beings.”

The Hexagon Starfish quickly rolled its six big eyes. “See, starfish can drink it.”

Han Fei said angrily, “It’s too expensive. You can’t afford a few catties even if you sell all your treasures. Just wait…”

Luo Xiaobai said, “Because the Spirit Awakening Fluid is very useful to both human beings and sea creatures, the battles between them have never ceased on the Scattered Stars Island. The Inferior Man-Fish, the Red Demons, and the Half-Mermaids are all fighting for the Spirit Awakening Fluid.”

“The Half-Mermaids?”

Luo Xiaobai nodded. “On the Scattered Stars Island, our real enemy is not the Inferior Man-Fish or the regular sea creatures but the Half-Mermaids, creatures who have almost the same talents as we do.”

Zhang Xuanyu suddenly asked, “Are they pretty?”

BAM!

Han Fei simply kicked him, wondering what was in this guy’s head.

Xia Xiaochan asked, “Then where is the Spirit Awakening Fluid from?”

Luo Xiaobai replied, “Two places. One of them is a cave on the Scattered Stars Island, and the other is in the sea. It’s said that a mountain often suddenly rises from the bottom of the sea near the Scattered Stars Island. We call it the Undersea Chimney. Every time an Undersea Chimney appears, it will mean a war between human beings and sea demons will begin. So far, we have won and lost some battles.”

Han Fei was curious. “How exactly does an Undersea Chimney pop up?”

Luo Xiaobai shook her head. “I don’t know. Nobody does. I don’t think the sea demons know that either, or they would’ve occupied all the Undersea Chimneys before human beings do.”

Han Fei frowned. “Then does the appearance of the Undersea Chimney mean war all the time?”

“I wouldn’t go that far, but it’s definitely not simple. Human beings are often weak in the competition over the Undersea Chimneys. Usually, only the top experts can participate. They’ll loot as much as possible until the overwhelming sea creatures deluge the Undersea Chimneys. The creatures around the Scattered Stars Island are so powerful exactly because they have benefited from the Spirit Awakening Fluid.”

At this moment, everybody realized that all the infrastructures and professions on the Scattered Stars Island had been created for the Spirit Awakening Fluid.

Han Fei realized that everybody probably still underestimated the usefulness of the Spirit Awakening Fluid.

But it was needless to point it out for now, because everybody had few points. They did have some high-quality pearls, but it seemed unnecessary to buy the Spirit Awakening Fluid crazily after they just arrived at the Scattered Stars Island. They’d better familiarize themselves with it first.

After that, Luo Xiaobai told a bunch of more things to him, such as the serious lack of refiners and alchemists, the difficulty of fishing, and the dangerous places around the Scattered Stars Island.

All in all, their meeting went on from the morning to the afternoon.

Everybody finally left the booth.

Zhang Xuanyu grabbe Han Fei’s shoulder. “Han Fei, let me tell you, there are a myriad of different wines available here. Some even don’t taste like wine. Do you want some?”

Xia Xiaochan scoffed. “This place is stinky and filthy. Also, the clothes that those women wear are disgusting.”

Han Fei looked around, only to find that the place was a lot livelier than the morning. Many young and pretty girls with two, three and even four stars on their badges had arrived.

Han Fei even saw a woman with a five-star badge.

He knew very well that they were here for fun. Even life and death mattered little to those women, so it was only natural that they sought sensual entertainment.

“Cough, cough!”

Han Fei criticized him solemnly, “Zhang Xuanyu, I need to point it out to you that a decent man shouldn’t be having fun every day.”

Zhang Xuanyu scoffed. “None of us have been through a real battle on the Scattered Stars Island yet. If you had been through one, you wouldn’t have said that at all.”

Han Fei patted his chest. “I would, because I’m a decent man.”

Han Fei sat down at a table and said to the waitress, “Give me all your specialties. Also, snacks. Only the delicious ones!”

Everybody sat down, and Zhang Xuanyu said with a smile, “We have to abide by local traditions on the Scattered Stars Island. We meet every five days, and we can’t talk formally every time. We need to have some fun.”

Luo Xiaobai looked around. “I don’t really like this place.”

Xia Xiaochan agreed, “Me neither.”

Le Renkuang’s tummy growled. “When will the food be served?”

A moment later, a dozen kinds of wine in various colors were served. Han Fei tried all of them and said in disdain, “Each of them is more awful than the last.”

All of a sudden, Luo Xiaobai said, “Right, I forgot to say that the people from the Thousand Star City are coming too.”

Everybody was stunned. “Thousand Star City?”

“When I arranged our defenses a while back, many young people from the Thousand Star City were there. They probably arrived a few days ago.”

Han Fei grinned and said, “Does that mean we’re in trouble again?”

Luo Xiaobai shook her head. “I wouldn’t go that far. They’ll probably be distributed to various places like us. However, your opponents in the past will likely come, so you’d better be careful.”

Han Fei wasn’t really worried. After the battle in the level-three fishery, he was no longer scared of the descendants of the major families. Also, with the strict rules on the Scattered Stars Island, he need not fear them at all.

Han Fei simply wondered if Tang Ge would come. He hadn’t met Tang Ge since the reunion in the level-three fishery.

…

While everybody was talking and laughing, someone at the neighboring table peeped at them and even laughed aloud now and then.

Han Fei and the others looked back at them, only to see a man who had a pale face, who turned to them and said to Han Fei, “What are you looking at?”

Then, he said to Xia Xiaochan and Luo Xiaobai, “Girls, why don’t you come to our table? I’ll offer you some hard liquor.”

Xia Xiaochan burst into fury and was about to take action.

Han Fei quickly grabbed her arm. “Don’t be reckless. Let me take care of it.”

Han Fei rose and walked to the other table, standing before the young man.

The young man glanced at Han Fei’s badge and snorted. “A three-star advanced Dangling Fisher? Did you come here with your connections? Get lost already.”

Han Fei grinned. “Come on, turn your head.”

“What do you want?”

BAM!

All of a sudden, the man’s head was hit by a huge brick, and his nose was broken and his teeth were scattered.

Han Fei sneered. “I don’t like you!”
