Chapter 608 Despite On the Surface and Within the Heart
Han Fei walked away with You Lingyun and the others. He said in a low voice, “Should I have kept a lower profile?”
You Lingyun: “...”
Wu Xiaoxiao said in delight, “No, you shouldn’t have! They’ll mess with you every day until you impress them.”
Leng Hui nodded. “It’s mostly because they have nothing better to do.” Han Fei was lost for words. “They just stay on the island during their vacation? Why don’t they go treasure hunting?” Gu Daliang heaved a helpless sigh. “Treasure hunting isn’t so simple. The sea seems right near at hand, but if we dive into it, we’ll be forever gone in half an hour.”
Han Fei glanced at Gu Daliang and chuckled. “I’ve no doubt that you will be forever gone. You have nothing except a shield. You’re definitely the poorest armorist I’ve ever seen.”
Gu Daliang: “...”
Wu Xiaoxiao was a cute short girl. A moment earlier, she cheered for Gu Daliang for a long time, but all she actually let out was her girly voice that wasn’t motivating at all.
Wu Xiaoxiao was far less pretty than Xia Xiaochan, Luo Xiaobai and He Xiaoyu. Han Fei had no feelings for her at all.
She grabbed Han Fei’s shoulder and asked, “New captain, are you from a refiner family? It’s not a surprise that you have an ultra-quality spiritual weapon, but there aren’t many ultra-quality spiritual weapons with sealed souls even in the entire Eighth Battalion!”
Han Fei quickly freed his own elbow. “Hey, a female shouldn’t be so intimate with a strange male! I’ll resign if you keep doing this!”
“Resign?”
It took a moment for them to understand what he meant. Then You Lingyun said, “Captain, you’re already here and you’ve accepted the mission. How can you resign?” While they whispered to each other, Han Fei came to their camp. Standing before a house that was in a row of houses, Han Fei was speechless. “We’re going to share the same house?”
Wu Xiaoxiao said, “That’s right! To build up our teamwork, we always sleep together.”
Han Fei’s eyes bulged. “Well, are you serious?”
“Cough, cough!”
You Lingyun said gloomily in a low voice, “Don’t listen to Xiaoxiao’s jibber jabber. There are five independent rooms inside.”
Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “What can a thin wall block? You can sense everything through it, can’t you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYou Lingyun got to know Han Fei’s temper better. She realized that the man was rather lighthearted, and liked making dirty jokes.
You Lingyun scoffed. “We’re all warriors. We won’t sense anybody easily. It’s respect for your comrades.”
Gu Daliang opened the door. Everybody was embraced by a stinky and salty smell mixed with the moist sea wind.
Han Fei frowned. “Must we live here?”
Leng Hui shrugged. “You may choose to live somewhere else.”
Han Fei glanced back at the trees and said, “Okay, you’ll live here, and I’ll build a tree house over there later.” Gu Daliang slightly frowned. “Captain, I don’t think other people will like that.”
Han Fei chuckled. “Why not? I’m already used to living in a tree house. I don’t want to sleep on a bed on solid ground.”
After they walked in, You Lingyun suddenly bellowed, “Assemble!”
At You Lingyun’s command, everybody including the cold Leng Hui and the perky Wu Xiaoxiao stood straight in a row intimidatingly with the highest morale.
Stunned, Han Fei simply listened to You Lingyun. “You Lingyun is a soul warrior and a junior Hanging Fisher. Her naturally-endowed spiritual beast is a Flame Fish, her contractual spiritual beast is Gold Spear Fish and Ghost Spiritual Fish, and she’s good with swords...”
“Wu Xiaoxiao is a manipulator and a junior Hanging Fisher. Her naturally-endowed spiritual plant is a Cold Phoenix Grass, and her contractual spiritual beasts are Gold Thread Worms and Purple Sand Eel. She’s best at cold techniques.”
“Gu Daliang is an armorist and a junior Hanging Fisher. His naturally-endowed spiritual beast is a Blue Tide Turtle and his contractual spiritual beasts are Crystal Shell and Arrow Shell. He’s best at defense and spear
arts.”
“Leng Hui is a hunter and a junior Hanging Fisher. His naturally-endowed spiritual beast is a Dark Sting Fish and his contractual spiritual beasts are the Mad Blood Worm and Wolf Crab...”
Everybody looked at Han Fei at the same time, and Han Fei didn’t know what to say. Were these formalities really necessary?
Han Fei couldn’t help but put on a solemn expression. “Han Fei is both a soul warrior and a spirit gatherer. He’s an advanced Dangling Fisher. His naturally-endowed spiritual beast is a Spirit Swallowing Fish and his contractual spiritual beasts are the Mantis Shrimp and the Red Ring Octopus.”
Han Fei decided that he would keep Little Gold a secret. He knew that someone else must know or would find it out if they really dug to the bottom of it.
He kept Little Gold a secret from them because he didn’t want them to be frightened by Little Gold’s flying ability.
“Spirit Swallowing Fish?”
You Lingyun and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, as the Spirit Swallowing Fish didn’t have much combat ability.
You Lingyun realized that Han Fei’s body was so sturdy probably because his naturally-endowed spiritual beast was too weak. It was not like he could count on his contractual spiritual beasts all the time.
Immediately, she pictured how a young man tempered his body through hard work in her head. She imagined that Han Fei’s life couldn’t have been as simple as it seemed.
Han Fei said, “Can we not be so serious just yet? There are a couple of things I want to know...”
You Lingyun agreed, “Feel free to ask anything.”
Han Fei slightly nodded. “First of all, why are your weapons so lousy? Back when I was in the level-three fishery, every Hanging Fisher had multiple ultra-quality spiritual weapons. Why do you have none?”
You Lingyun and the others all looked bitter. Wu Xiaoxiao pouted her cheeks. “It can’t be helped! Weapons can easily be broken in highly-intense battles, so we might as well use high-quality spiritual weapons, which can be easily replaced when they’re broken.” Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “Ultra-quality spiritual weapons can be broken? Isn’t that something that only peak-level Hanging Fishers can do?”
You Lingyun shook her head. “The attrition of ultra-quality spiritual weapons is huge if they’re used in intense battles all the time! Due to the limitation of the materials they’re made of, they may be broken after a long time of usage. Only those with sealed souls won’t be damaged easily.”
Gu Daliang added, “More importantly, we can’t afford any of those weapons!” You Lingyun and the others all looked at Gu Daliang, wondering why he had to be so candid.

Han Fei understood everything after hearing that.
Having used ultra-quality spiritual weapons himself, Han Fei didn’t think that regular junior Hanging Fishers could break an ultra-quality spiritual weapon, which was only vulnerable to the full-strength attack of a peak-level Hanging Fisher. After learning that, Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “Are you saving up points or high-quality pearls?”
You Lingyun made up her mind and admitted, “Both. We’ve saved more than 38,000 points.”
Han Fei asked, “What can you do with so many points?”
You Lingyun replied, “If an individual gets 50,000 points, they can be promoted to three stars.”
Han Fei was lost for words. “Doesn’t it mean that all your points combined aren’t enough for one promotion?”
You Lingyun and the others slightly blushed, as what Han Fei pointed out was the cruel truth.
Han Fei glanced at the three stars on the badge on his waist. He didn’t know that being among the top hundred from the 36 towns meant 50,000 points in the Unknown place!
Han Fei nodded. “Next question. Tell me more about the Skeleton Shore and the creatures in the sea...”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt night, several newcomers joined the teams. However, none of them came from the Blue Sea Town, and Han Fei didn’t know them.
At this moment, Han Fei was building a hut on a tree five kilometers away from You Lingyun’s camp with Gu Daliang’s help.
Grinning and showing his yellow teeth, Gu Daliang asked, “Captain, are you from a rich family?” Han Fei replied with a smile, “No, I earned all my money by myself.” Gu Daliang was confused. “Then how do you have an ultra-quality with sealed souls?”
Han Fei winked and said, “It’s a gift from my teacher!”
Gu Daliang was rendered speechless, as he didn’t have a teacher who offered such a gift.
Wu Xiaoxiao was controlling the vines to fixate Han Fei’s hut to the tree. Now that they were talking about teachers, she couldn’t help but say, “My teachers couldn’t give me that. They don’t have ultra-quality spiritual weapons themselves.”
“Which town are you from?”
Wu Xiaoxiao replied, “I’m from the Cloud Soaring Town. You must’ve met someone from my town during the contest, right?”
“You’re from the Cloud Soaring Town?”
Han Fei asked in surprise, “Didn’t they say that few people here are from the Cloud Soaring Town?”
Wu Xiaoxiao said helplessly, “Few, but not none! However, the Scattered Stars Island is so large a place that we can only meet each other during our vacations. More than half of them have died over the years.”
After some random talk, Han Fei set up the last window and said, “Okay, let’s go to entertain our guests!”
Wu Xiaoxiao said in a low voice, “Are we really
going to? I don’t think Sister Lingyun can catch much fish. There might not be enough food.” Han Fei’s lips curled. “That’s fine. I’ve brought food.”
“You have?”
It wasn’t until a moment later that Wu Xiaoxiao finally realized what Han Fei meant by “I’ve brought food”.
You Lingyun and Leng Hui fished for half a day and only caught some creatures within a thousand meters from the shoreline, including a lot of clams and crabs.
However, Han Fei took out a bunch of food from his Sea Swallowing Seashell.
Everybody was extremely shocked. You’ve come from the town to the Unknown Place with a huge amount of food? You Lingyun exclaimed, “More than thirty Yellow-Blooded Sea Cucumbers? Captain, isn’t that too extravagant? The Yellow-Blooded Sea Cucumbers are rarer and more expensive than they are in the level-three fishery. They can be sold for a hundred high-quality pearls per piece. You’ve essentially paid five thousand high-quality pearls.”
Han Fei smiled and said, “I’m rich. I do whatever I want.”
You Lingyun didn’t know what to say about her new captain. For some reason, she always felt that this new captain despised this place from the bottom of his heart.
