Chapter 424 - 396: Planting Holy Vine on the Flying
——World Channel [..★Qingcheng No. Romance●..]: Royal Guild, it was obviously you who booked the spot first, who are you to blame if you can’t beat the Sea Urchin King?
The guild channel erupted: "As expected of Brother Hao, talking on the World Channel at 100 bucks a pop!"
Da Fei couldn’t help but get excited, "What loot did the BOSS drop?"
The guild members cheered, "It dropped some special loot, sea urchin specialty loot!"
Da Fei was overjoyed, "Holy crap! My Chamber of Commerce is getting another specialty, hurry up and donate it to invest in the city!"
Invest in the city? At that moment, as the team leader, Invincible Soldier, who got the sea urchin specialty in his bag, was overwhelmed with emotion! How much can this specialty sell for at this stage? If it’s the Royal Guild, maybe it could go for hundreds of thousands, right? That’s a couple hundred thousand! It’s my first time getting something this valuable! If I swipe it, then delete my account and go underground—no, I can’t. Not only does the entire dorm and the computer science department know, but I’ve also been hanging out with Brother Fei and the Tycoons. Is this all the ambition I have?
The thought of snatching the gear only flashed in Da Bing’s mind for a moment before he came back to reality, "Oh, okay, okay! We’ll donate the specialty!"
Brother Hao laughed as well, "I’m so happy with this operation, I’m going to reward every participating member with 10,000 bucks! Everyone, send me your account numbers!"
The guild roared, "Brother Hao, we love you to death!"
Brother Hao laughed heartily, "Making a contribution to Brother Fei’s guild gives me great satisfaction!"
Da Fei was overjoyed, "Brother Hao, you’re too kind!"
Brother Hao chuckled, "You can’t buy my happiness with more money!"
The crowd cheered, "As expected of Brother Hao!"
This wasn’t Da Fei’s first time getting special loot, and it wasn’t the first time he’d gotten it himself, but this time the feeling of getting the loot was incomparable to the previous times. This is called shared joy rather than alone joy; everyone being happy is true happiness! Also, isn’t that Royal Guild unhappy? Well, let’s just let Brother Hao battle it out on the World Channel, and everyone’s happy! Haha!
Just then, Da Fei’s notifications started flashing. When he looked, it was Goddess of Star, Boss Ma from Dragon Slayer, and the newly appointed officer Shenlan from Ninth Heaven, all summarized into one sentence, "Brother Fei, selling the specialty?"
Da Fei laughed aloud and replied one by one, "Sorry, this was hard-earned by the brothers, not something I can decide to sell alone, not selling!"
Who would’ve thought that the big guilds were so keen on specialties, huh? If I had known back then, I might have sold the Golden Spearfish specialty. But now, money isn’t really an issue for me, not at the point of selling the hen that lays the golden eggs, wahahaha!
Now, in high spirits, Da Fei, with Tamilia, boarded the Flying. Deirdre immediately came out to greet, "Welcome, Master!"
Oh, sweetheart, let me give you a smooch! Just as he was bantering, Anlicia and Selvia also came out. Da Fei coughed lightly and stopped bantering, focusing on business was the priority, "Miss Tamilia, does my ship have Spiritual Energy?"
Tamilia extended a vine to rub the deck of the Flying, then nodded, "Although the Spiritual Energy is very thin, it can indeed satisfy the early growth of the Holy Vine Heart. Moreover, Master’s idea is very innovative, planting it on the ship is equivalent to a moving flower pot. It can avoid the Demon’s tracking, and steer the ship to areas where the Holy Vine needs nutrients without letting the Holy Vine, like the World Tree, explore everywhere for space to find nutrients. This compensates, to some extent, for the lack of Innate Spiritual Energy!"
What a moving flower pot! Da Fei was elated, "Will planting the Holy Vine on the ship reinforce the ship?"
Tamilia nodded, "Of course, the tendrils of the Holy Vine will incorporate into every part of the ship’s materials and eventually become one. Not only will the ship’s strength enhance as the Holy Vine grows, it will also gain the Holy Vine’s power. Moreover, once planted, the Holy Vine will also carry a Holy Vine Space. This Holy Vine Space can store extra supplies for Master’s ship, and as the Holy Vine grows, the Holy Vine Space will also expand!"
Holy crap! I did expect to gain Attack, Defense, and skills from planting the Holy Vine, but I didn’t expect to gain some space! I was just worried that my ship’s cargo capacity was too small!
Da Fei was ecstatic, "Then let’s plant it. Right, where should it be planted?"
Tamilia nodded, "Plant it in the cabin. With the ship structure shielding, Demons won’t easily find it—of course, as the Holy Vine grows, it is advisable to coat the ship’s exterior with Enchanting Materials to further shield against Demon tracking!"
Da Fei nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Okay, okay, understood, absolutely must do! I’ll coat the entire ship inside and out!"
Da Fei and his group went to the cargo hold of the Flying.
Tamilia continued, "Master, the Holy Vine Heart requires my guidance for planting. I will convert to a soul form and merge with the seed for a period. During my absence, it is best if this cargo hold does not store any goods, and do not modify the ship to avoid interfering with the newborn Holy Vine Space!"
Da Fei kept nodding, "Understood! Got it!"
"Then let’s begin!"
After finishing, Tamilia solemnly placed the seed on the deck, then emitted a green glow all over her body. The seed also began to emit a golden glow. In the glow, Tamilia’s figure gradually faded, then disappeared along with the seed. At the moment of disappearance, the entire cargo hold flashed with white light!
——System Prompt: Your Flying has transplanted the God-level creature Holy Vine Heart seed. Flying’s Durability upper limit +500!
Da Fei laughed heartily! Just planting it gives me an immediate 500 Durability boost. When it grows bigger, it should increase to hundreds of thousands of Durability to live up to the title of a God-level creature, right?
Da Fei hurriedly checked the long-missed attributes of the Flying:

...
Da Fei let out a long sigh of relief! This is great, not only solving the problem of repairing the ship, but also accommodating the Holy Vine. I don’t believe it, can your Flame Demon still be unbeatable at sea? But just in case, I guess I should insure the ship as well? But I’m cursed by the Sea God, will insurance be effective? Whether it’s useful or not, I’ve got to try it, after all, it’s just money, right?
But, I still feel like something’s off? Like there’s something I haven’t done? Oh crap! That’s it! I haven’t asked Tamilia about the second and third grade soil blocks, oh no, seeds! I’ll have to wait till she reappears to ask? Ugh, I didn’t even ask when she’ll reappear!
Alright, better rely on my strength to treasure hunt and level up then. Right, Catherine, she should be able to help too—huh? Wait a minute! Da Fei finally realized what’s wrong!
Da Fei busily asked Selvia and Anlicia beside him, "Where’s Catherine? Why isn’t she here?"
Selvia replied, "She said she went to the harbor docks to inquire about something and hasn’t returned for several days."
Da Fei’s brow twitched, Vice Hero wandering off on her own? Has this triggered some event? Crap! She hasn’t returned for several days! My wife!
That day when passing Desolate Island, she was acting weird. Did she go to Sailor’s Home to inquire about Desolate Barbarian Pirates? Is this going to trigger a related quest for the Desolate Island?
It must be, the inevitable has arrived. This quest difficulty is inevitably epic level. I’ll be hard-pressed to fight on two fronts, anyway, I’ll just have to wait for her to return and ask about it, hoping it doesn’t trouble me too much. Right, I was so focused on the Holy Vine seed, I haven’t checked on the construction site yet. The advisor said the construction team should be coming down, I’ve been gone for days, the progress should be pretty good by now. (To be continued.
