Chapter 106: Don’t Touch Those Golden Things
Han Fei didn’t want to work for this big starfish for free like a fool. Since he brought him hope, he should reward him with some benefits, right? The introduction said Hexagon Starfishes were mysterious creatures that were extremely greedy for treasure, so treasure must be very important to them. If he failed to get some treasure now, he wouldn’t have any chance to touch it after he helped this big fish out. And he didn’t think he could beat this powerful sea monster.
The Hexagon Starfish said aggrievedly, Human, my treasure has already been emptied by that person, and there is nothing left. If you can enter several other gates first, I can give you a little more spiritual energy.
Han Fei went speechless as he thought to himself, Do I look like a fool? You devious, dishonest sea monster! I’m not going to be free labor, never!
Master Hexagon, I think it’s necessary for me to visit your treasure. If there is something that can improve my strength, it will greatly help me survive the other gates. Don’t forget, I almost died in your first gate. I had been calling you for three days, but you just ignored me.
The Hexagon Starfish explained, There is a seal on this gate, and I myself don’t even know what happened inside.
I don’t care. I want to take a look at your treasure first. I promise I won’t take away many things!
I really don’t have much treasure left... Fine! You can go in, but you can only take away 10 things at most. Otherwise, I’m not in a hurry to leave here.
Han Fei’s face suddenly turned black. What a miser! It was as big as a football field inside the gate. And you’ll only give me 10 things?
Han Fei thought about it. OK, it’s better than nothing! Anyway, there are still four gates left. Every time I enter a new gate, I’ll ask him for some more.
Deal! I just want to see if there is anything to improve my strength.
Among the six gates of the Hexagon Starfish, the purple net over one gate disappeared, revealing a black hole. Han Fei strode in. The big starfish didn’t have to cheat him. After all, it was still waiting for him to save him.
Suddenly Han Fei saw flashes of gold before his eyes and the blinking golden light almost made him blind.
“What the hell...”
Han Fei gaped at the mountains of gold and shining stones in front of him.
Master Hexagon, didn’t you say all your treasures have been taken away? How come there is still so much here?
The Hexagon Starfish explained, All the good items were taken away by that man, but you can’t take away the golden stones. You can take something else, those not shining. You can take ten things...
Han Fei almost burst into laughter. Why is this big fish just like the legendary dragons who like to collect golden things? But what is the use of gold? It is a treasure on the earth, but here it is just a piece of ordinary metal.
The area of this space was also the size of a stadium, most of which was occupied by these gold and shining stones.
Han Fei casually picked up a fist-sized diamond. Is it really a diamond?
The Hexagon Starfish’s voice rang in his head, Not this one! This can shine.
This thing is of little value. Except for its good looks, it doesn’t have any characteristics. Why do you love it?
I like shiny things...
Han Fei threw the diamond into the pile of stones. He was not interested in these useless things at all. After walking around the stone mountain, Han Fei was speechless. So what the starfish said was true! Shit, what the hell is even left? There were a bunch of rods, which were probably picked up from the seabed.
However, as a commonly-used weapon, these rods certainly couldn’t escape Han Fei’s examination.
Huh? Isn’t this He Xiaoyu’s Bamboo Rod? No, it’s not as good as my Purple Bamboo Rod.
Huh? I have never seen this red rod.
Han Fei’s eyes flickered.
: It’s made of natural red lotus wood and can slightly enhance your strength when used.
Han Fei tossed it aside. Sorry, a divine-level, mid-quality weapon is too low-grade for me now.
Han Fei continued to search.
Fiery Bamboo (Divine-Level, High-Quality): Natural fiery bamboo, not refined or forged. It will erupt scorching heat when used.
Green Black Stone (Divine-Level, High-Quality): The best material for refining divine-level weapons.
Blue Jade (Divine-Level, High-Quality): Wearing it for a long time, you will be cold-proof and heat-proof. It can be refined.
...
Han Fei scanned one after another. For some, he could see their information, some could not. But there were mostly divine-level materials, which seemed useless to him.
Huh? Is this a fishing rod?
: Made from Millennium Black Iron and blood spider silk. It can increase the success rate of fishing.
Han Fei froze for a moment. A divine-level, high-quality fishing rod? Now he was still using the fine iron fishing rod, which didn’t even reach the divine level, so he took the Black Iron Rod without hesitation.
Han Fei rummaged through the gold and various shiny gems and continued to search.
He threw away these so-called treasures one by one like garbage.
Huh? Purple Jade?
Han Fei saw a purple stone and a purple bone and the stone seemed to grow out of the bone.
: It is made from the bone marrow of Purple Gold Arowana, which can be used to refine treasure-level magic weapons.
Han Fei’s eyes lit up. This was the first time he saw materials above the divine level and he decided to keep it. Then he glanced at the purple bone.
: Bone of Purple Gold Arowana, which can be used to refine treasure-level magic weapons.
Oh, two at once. Not bad!
Then Han Fei found a small black token under the Bone of Purple Gold Arowana, which was painted in black and had the word “Jail” written on it. Wow, this looks so special. I’ll keep it.
The Hexagon Starfish instructed, Human, it’s true that all the good stuff has been taken away. Can you come out now? I can give you two golden beads.
Han Fei was speechless and thought to himself, Do you think my head was hit by Iron-Head Fish? What’s the use of golden beads?
No hurry. I haven’t finished yet.
It took half an hour for Han Fei to dig through the gold mountain. Han Fei’s eyelid twitched. There was a big tripod hidden inside.
Han Fei snickered. Nothing can escape my eye, even if you hid it under the gold mountain. Look, I’ve dug it out!
This black big tripod was actually not big, less than one meter high, with three feet and three fish-shaped handles.
To his surprise, however, the Demon Purification Pot didn’t respond to it.
Whatever, since this sly starfish hid it so secretly, it must be good stuff.
Han Fei quickly took out the gold, diamonds and colorful gems in the tripod.
The Hexagon Starfish was anxious. This is just a useless broken jar. It is useless. I use it to put shiny things in.
Han Fei simply replied, It’s okay. I don’t mind. I like it because it’s pleasing to my eyes... Huh?...
When Han Fei took out everything in the tripod, he found that there was a black bead at the bottom.
Han Fei seemed to realize something and immediately said, This bead is not shining. I want it.
The Hexagon Starfish said almost at the same time, That bead was with me when I was born. I can’t give it to you.
Han Fei wanted to bargain for it. You told me to pick whatever I liked. Let me keep this one and I’ll give up the rest, OK?
This is just a useless bead.
Han Fei thought to himself, Don’t fool me. You put it under the gold mountain, hid in the tripod, and covered it with other stuff. Ren Tianfei must have been too lazy to rummage for it. Otherwise, he would have taken it.
Most importantly, in his eyes, the information about this bead showed three question marks. According to his experience, whenever the question mark appeared, the item must be very precious.
I’ll keep the black bead anyway. It’s not shining but like an iron ball. Why do you want to keep it? And you promised me that I can take ten items. Now I only took six... I can give up the last four.
It took a long time for the Hexagon Starfish to respond. I will trade you something else for this!
No way, this bead is mine.
OK, to tell you the truth, this is a Black Bead, a mysterious thing. It has little effect on you humans, but it can increase the mysterious characteristics of our mysterious creatures.
Han Fei thought, I have Little Black!
The little black fish has greater talent than me, so this Black Bead is useless to him. If you don’t believe me, you can call him out and check it out.
With a flash between Han Fei’s brows, Little Black and Little White swooped out.
Han Fei put the Black Bead in front of Little Black. “Do you like it?”
Little Black went forward, circled about it a few times, spat out a bit of saliva, and then directly ran to play with Little White.
Disappointed, Han Fei frowned. So what do you want to exchange for this? I don’t want rubbish.
On his side, a pile of gold and gems shook suddenly, and then a small black seal floated to Han Fei.
