1163 Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce (1/2)
Enough joking around!
The Colonel was well-respected, so once he opened his mouth, all 3,000 soldiers hushed.
His gaze swept across the crowd and said in a solemn voice, ”From today onward, that mysterious elite is I, Hao Yue's, savior! He is also our 2nd Regiment's savior! Without him, our entire troop will have died in the hands of that Silver-tier Giant Beast! So, I am laying down an order effective immediately: No one is allowed to disrespect our savior! Those who violate that order will be punished according to martial law!”
”Sir, yes, sir!”
The whole team complied.
If Chen Xiaobei had not shown up on time, the Colonel would have been murdered and the Silver-tier Giant Beast would have continued its attack on the rest of the carriers.
There was also a chance that other Demonic Beasts might have appeared at the scene. The 3,000 soldiers would have no chance of surviving the horde's attack.
It was not only the Colonel who was grateful. A good number of them felt indebted to the mysterious elite.
They would never have in a million years figured that the person who had saved them was standing at the back of the brown, watching them.
Chen Xiaobei made no plans to explain anything to them. He merely observed them like a wise man, chuckling to himself inside.
He knew everything, yet he said nothing.
After that, the assembly dispersed.
Chen Xiaobei finally had the chance to ask his questions, ”Brother Ning, how many Spiritual Stones would you say a Silver-tier Giant Beast would sell for?”
”Little Zhufeng! You really are quite a miser! You just can't stop talking about Spiritual Stones!” Liu Chen said, ”This is not an insult but, with your cultivation, you won't ever be able to kill a Silver-tier Giant Beast! Not in a hundred years!”
Chen Xiaobei simply laughed it off. ”It's always good to dream. What if it really happens someday?”
”Yes! We must have goals! That way we can always improve ourselves!” Ning Yuchen backed Chen Xiaobei up, ”Silver-tier Giant Beasts are worth an unusual amount of money! Its hide is worth hundreds of medium-grade Spiritual Stones! One piece of bone is also worth about the same! Its internal organs, on the other hand, are worthless but they could sell for about a ten medium-grade Spiritual Stones! That's roughly a total of 300 medium-grade stones! Of course, I've never seen anyone sell any of that! So, that's just an estimation. To get a more solid number, you'll have to consult the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce!”
Ning Yuchen did not know much about it so he merely did an educated guess.
”What about the Beast Core? How many Spiritual Stones is that worth?” Chen Xiaobei asked again.
”Are you crazy?” Liu Chen cut in. ”That's a rare Spiritual Item! It's super effective for training! No one would ever sell that!”
”That's true.” Chen Xiaobei nodded, knowing very well that he himself would never have the heart to sell the Beast Core.
”Oh, right, Brother Ning, where is this Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce you were talking about?”
Chen Xiaobei was relentless.
'Why do you want to know?”
Liu Chen eyed him suspiciously.
”I want to kill Demonic Beasts with my own bare hands all day long. So, I'm just trying to get a better understanding. Is that alright with you?” Chen Xiaobei said, ”Colonel Hao Yue wouldn't allow me to train with you or go on missions with you. So, I'll just walk around when I'm bored.”
”Mm, it's good to get a feel of things beforehand!” Ning Yuchen said, ”The Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce is on 2nd Street. It's open 24/7. You can go whenever you want!”
”Alright! I really need to go to the toilet now!” Chen Xiaobei said before running off, away from the group.
Of course Chen Xiaobei was not stupid enough to go to the Chamber of Commerce now. He found a hiding place where no one would find him and took out the spirit cage, and commissioned Qie Loulan to make a mask of a serious-looking old man.
