Chapter 236 - 89: Farming Money

"With the external threat looming, these people are still busy scheming for their own petty gains..."

Shen Fei’s tone was filled with disgust towards these parasites.

While he wasn’t someone who minded other people’s business, he couldn’t stand those who only cared about their own interests at the expense of everyone else.

What difference was there between them and the Western politicians he knew in his previous life, considering the country and the people as commodities for trade?

Anyone with a basic sense of morality would feel repulsed.

Fang Qingluan was a bit curious. "By the way, hasn’t the Heavenly Pride Club invited you to join?

With your status, joining the Heavenly Pride Club would surely earn you the highest level of cultivation training."

"He just picked a fight with Zhenyuan, it’s already good enough that the people in the Heavenly Pride Club don’t hate him to death."

Mu Qing said with a smile.

"Picked a fight with Zhenyuan?"

The three exchanged glances. Among them, Fang Qingluan and Xiao Hao were from Imperial University.

While Dugu Yan came from Great Wall Engineering University, naturally knowing what Zhenyuan was.

What does ’picked a fight’ mean?

"It’s nothing serious."

Shen Fei didn’t continue the topic. Instead, he turned to Mu Qing and asked, "Commander Mu, do I need to stay here given the current situation?"

"Uh..."

Mu Qing hesitated for a moment. She originally had Shen Fei come over to form a Tier Seven elite squad.

To penetrate the Corpse Stiff Abyss and directly slay those Tier Seven extras.

Who knew that right then, the Celestial Corpse would lead an army to attack Zhenyuan City?

Shen Fei, having been restless, unexpectedly arrived so soon.

It can be said that Shen Fei’s presence completely changed the course of this battle.

Moreover, it wasn’t just the Tier Seven combat power; it was a power already capable of determining outcomes at the Tier Eight level.

Mu Qing’s palm produced a ring, which she tossed to Shen Fei, saying, "This is a Space Ring, similar to a Space Backpack.

But it’s larger than a Space Backpack, with a capacity of one hundred cubic meters. The items inside are what I promised you."

Shen Fei accepted the ring with some curiosity, examining it. He hadn’t expected such a thing to exist.

"How do I use it?"

"Wear it on your hand, and you can access it with your mind. It’s not bound, so it’s safer to keep important items in a Professional Backpack."

Shen Fei nodded, putting it on the middle finger of his left hand.

"Right, Elder Fang, Elder Xiao. These are the items my Summoned Beast got from kills.

According to the rules, shall we split them?"

Shen Fei took out the four items the Empress had given him, all of Epic Level quality.

Aside from the Abyss Core that was fed to the Vast Heaven Daoist Venerable, there was a piece of upper body armor covered in pale scales, intricately overlapping like mountain peaks.

Another item was a sword resembling a curved blade, sharp as dragon’s teeth, with a hilt like a dragon’s mouth, as if the blade were emerging from it.

This had been dropped by the Corpse Dragon King.

As for the Blood Corpse King, it dropped an extremely scarlet blood drop.

And the last item was a magic staff about half a person’s height, resembling two intertwined curved wooden branches, topped with a bat’s head, complete with sharp teeth.

Apart from the third item, which was a tool, the other three were equipment, with immense value.

Moreover, Shen Fei wasn’t just giving away equipment, for if it weren’t for Xiao Hao having fought for so long.

Stabbing Immortal might not have been able to slay it with one sword, even after two weeks of preparation.

Shen Fei couldn’t see the extent of the enhancement.

Yet the Stabbing Immortal’s outburst was insufficient to directly slay a complete Tier Eight entity.

It merely injured part of it, triggering the ’Heaven-Slaying’ slaying effect.

Xiao Hao chuckled wryly, waving his hand in refusal, "If it weren’t for you showing up in time, Younger Brother Shen.

I would have been severely wounded if not dead, how could I have the face to take these?"

Fang Qingluan also shook her head, "The Blood Corpse King was something you held off. Had you not stayed behind during the retreat, it would’ve escaped.

Just keep these items."

They all understood that, if it weren’t for Shen Fei, these two Tier Eights wouldn’t necessarily be dead.

"Wouldn’t it be inappropriate otherwise?" Shen Fei wasn’t being modest; he just didn’t want these things to hurt their camaraderie.

"Just take them. Honestly, out of all the battles fought so far, the Corpse Stiff Abyss has suffered the most here.

Losing two Tier Eights in one day, even the entire Abyss can’t withstand that."

"Huh? They’re not that hard to kill, are they?"

Shen Fei scratched his head. Not having fought personally, to be honest, he felt Tier Eight wasn’t all that hard to kill.

Already, three Tier Eights have fallen by his hand.

Upon hearing this, the four present were at a loss for words.

Especially Dugu Yan, who hadn’t managed to leave behind the Iron Corpse King, and couldn’t help but remark, "If all the Tier Eight Kings heard what you said, they’d surely complain."

"Besides the Commander and the Emperors, who can guarantee they’ll kill a Tier Eight every time?"

Mu Qing explained, "It’s because your Summoned Beast’s skills are of extremely high quality."

"Honestly, I don’t know why your Assassin’s slaying skill can even bypass resurrection skills.

Because at Tier Eight, one never knows how many life-saving skills they have. Like with the Blood Corpse King, attempts have been made to surround and kill him before."

"But even when three Kings surrounded him and exhausted their skills, he could still escape in the form of a pool of blood."

"And if intercepted, he’d reappear shortly after, likely having a backup plan hidden elsewhere."

"That’s part of why the Celestial Corpse is so angry."

Shen Fei was a bit surprised when he heard this, wondering if the ’Heaven-Slaying Sword’s’ effect was just too strong.

"But there should be other Professionals with killing abilities and skills to suppress resurrection..."

Shen Fei inquired.

What he’d learned over this period is that most Assassin Professions gain slaying skills after their Second Transformation.

"They do exist, but the slaying threshold isn’t that high, and as for suppressing resurrection, only those of higher rank can suppress those of lower rank, not the other way around."

"For instance, while I do have means to prevent the Blood Corpse King’s resurrection, other Tier Sevens certainly don’t have the means to stop it.

Unless they use a special tool."

"Your ability is one of a kind; I’m only speaking from my knowledge, but maybe some Mythical Professions could achieve it." Mu Qing looked at Shen Fei with both inquiry and wonder in her eyes.

What kind of talent could give rise to such a Summoned Beast?

Once again, Shen Fei held the ’Heaven-Slaying Sword’ of the Stabbing Immortal in even higher regard.

It turned out to be so formidable.

"So what’s your plan now that your task here is temporarily finished?"

Mu Qing steered the conversation back, as Shen Fei’s mission had been completed beyond expectations.

"I did take a week off, and it’d be a waste to go back after just half a day."

"Besides, my plan was to come here to make some money."

Mu Qing was taken aback, "Make money?"

But quickly realized, "You want to kill Abyssal Creatures?"

"Yes, it’s coincidental. Isn’t it said that there are quite a few Abyssal Creatures in the Corpse Stiff Abyss?" Shen Fei nodded with a smile, "Perfect, as I’m a bit short on money too.

I’ll stay around here for a while and hunt some Abyssal Creatures."

"Hunting Abyssal Creatures..."

Mu Qing fell silent, unable to refute Shen Fei’s plans.

Or rather, very few could achieve what Shen Fei had.

Who else could slay Tier Eights when they were just at Tier Five or even Tier Four?

In the Abyss, after the Second Transformation, one’s presence becomes very noticeable. If any Tier Eight King appears,

the highest level on the Abyss side will definitely sense it.

Leading to interception and slaying attempts.

But if Shen Fei’s Summoned Beast didn’t unleash its power, it would be just below Second Transformation.

Essentially inconspicuous in the Abyss.
