Chapter 495: 493 temporary rest three

“Alright, your ships can also be repaired here. This is my territory, Jade Island. Welcome to you all,” Harvey said, spreading his arms and smiling.

“Oh, by the way, for each month you stay, it costs a gem like the one you gave me.” He skillfully made a gesture resembling an eyeball.

Yu Hong opened the door and walked out. His towering height of 2.3 meters made him look like a small giant in front of the other.

He looked down at Harvey.

“Sure.” He had dozens or even hundreds of those eyeball-like items. If he ran out, he could just capture more.

“Also, you’re a bit too tall. Try to shrink yourself a bit. Getting mistaken for a member of the Giant Clan outside could be very troublesome. Here, the Giants are mostly slaves. Their Royal Titans are pretty much all experimental materials anyway, considered a lower race. Don’t let people think you have similar bloodlines, or you’ll be looked down upon,” Harvey advised.

As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze shifted and he saw the emerging Divine, Fisina.

“Oh, you brought a little snack with you? Let me see, a pure natural god? That size, just right for a bite, isn’t it? Perfect specs. You can eat it and it’ll regenerate on its own, not bad, not bad.”

“…who are you calling a snack!!?” Fisina was momentarily stunned, then became furious.

“A snack that dares to talk?” Harvey shook his head, looking at Yu Hong. “Nephew, your discipline is lacking… Uncle tells you, these Divines have huge weaknesses, they are inherently inferior races. I found a nature god curious once and kept one for a while, but found it boring and stopped. Want me to help discipline it?”

Seeing the other’s sincere eyes, Yu Hong suddenly felt that the local power levels might be higher than he imagined…

“Well… she’s not really related to me…” he replied sincerely.

Since the other was so sincere with him, he responded in kind. Since Fisina had chosen to leave, he had no responsibility towards her.

“Are you sure?” Harvey was taken aback, then looked even happier, “Then can I make a move?”

“Uh… as you please.” Yu Hong didn’t know what method he planned to use, but as soon as the words left his mouth,

Harvey suddenly raised his hand, layers of countless blue light talisman arrays lit up at his fingertip.

In an instant, even with Yu Hong’s strong eyesight, he saw at least a hundred layers of talisman arrays.

All arrays coordinated and worked in unison, like an exceedingly precise machine.

The next moment, a massive scorching brilliance burst forth from the arrays, transforming into a straight scarlet beam.

Tzz!

The beam hit Fisina in the blink of an eye.

At the moment, Fisina’s body was also enveloped by something akin to a golden talisman array, but in terms of complexity and number, it was far from Harvey’s.

The two arrays confronted each other.

Immediately, Fisina’s array melted quickly like ice meeting fire.

The anger on Fisina’s little face turned pale upon witnessing this scene.

She immediately turned her head and shouted towards Yu Hong.

“Help….”

Puff.

Her entire body was precisely hit by the crimson beam from the blue light talisman array.

In no time, she disappeared without a trace.

“…..” Yu Hong expected that Fisina might lose but didn’t think she couldn’t last even a second.

“I think it’s better to let it be; she may be a natural god, but she’s also a companion who came with me.” He couldn’t bear it and spoke for Fisina’s sake.

“Alright then, she’s rare and I was going to take her back to eat slowly; these natural gods can eat themselves and gradually recover, offering a cost-effective feast every so often. But since you asked, I’ll give you some face.” Harvey, considering the strengthened eyeball, decided to give Yu Hong face.

He waved again, and a bluish shimmer flew out, restoring Fisina’s figure on the beach nearby.

Fisina’s little face was deathly pale, trembling all over, as if those few seconds of disappearance had given her an indelible terrifying impression.

“Just a small lesson to let you know this isn’t a benevolent place. If you intend to stay like other refugees, you need to clear your mind about what kind of standards and strength the commoners here have.”

Harvey was less amiable towards Fisina, with a touch of impatience and admonition.

After that, he chatted briefly with Yu Hong about the arrangements.

The Black Black Spirit ship was severely damaged, requiring lengthy repairs. Yu Hong paid a bit of advance payment to cover the repair costs. The Black Mark was nearly done enhancing the Outer Eye and would arrive in a few days.

By then, the enhanced Chaotic God Light and Instantaneous Movement ability should undergo a qualitative change.

Then, he would start enhancing the recovery of the safe house.

The safe house had suffered many damages along the way, each repair taking up Black Mark’s enhancement time, which Yu Hong found highly inefficient. Therefore, he planned to acquire some self-repairing materials in the Floating City to add a self-repair function to the Black Black Spirit safe house.

On the island, Harvey had allocated a large piece of wasteland for them to reside on their own.

There were no houses, no bedding, no food or drink, nothing at all.

He provided only the territory, and midway through, Harvey received a notice and left in a hurry.

At night.

Amongst the gray-white rocky land on the island, the rest were chatting casually by the campfire, imagining their future in the Floating City, meticulously planning the route to try the Wish Technique and Great Resurrection Technique.

Yu Hong stood alone on one side, gazing at the broad dark lake surface.

It suddenly reminded him of the beginning, how the camp’s people initially helped each other, but later, with the Black Mark, he quickly became the mainstay, and the rest gradually couldn’t keep up with his pace.

Naturally, they dispersed afterward.

In a camp where life-threatening crises could unite people, once the deadly threat was gone, all sorts of messy intentions emerged.

‘Perhaps, I should move forward alone,’ Yu Hong felt that nobody could keep up with his pace, and rather than dragging others, it might be better to tread the path alone.

As the journey grew riskier, even Yiyi might face danger continuing on.

No matter how strong he was, there would be times he couldn’t protect her….

The most crucial part is, Yiyi needn’t be endangered alongside him. Her goal was always a stable life, to find a safe place, resurrect her mother, and live peacefully together.

If resurrection techniques could achieve that here, settling for life here would suffice.

Yu Hong felt Yiyi’s objective might be much simpler than Ku Chan’s. Because Yiyi’s mother’s shadow had already integrated with her.

But Ku Chan, the traces of his relatives were probably completely gone.

“What are you thinking?” Ku Chan approached from behind.

“I’m contemplating whether Yiyi should stay. Following me will become increasingly dangerous in the future.” Yu Hong turned, looking at him.

Ku Chan’s face was hidden behind a golden mask, but those hopeful eyes left a deep impression on his heart at that moment.

“That’s possible. We’ve decided to stick together here. Everyone just had a conversation with Emma, inquiring about much of the relevant information here. This place is really different….” Ku Chan sighed.

“The commoners who can live here aren’t softies, they’ve fled from their own worlds, and anyone who can escape a world isn’t likely to be weak.”

“Then I also inquired about the general division here. The Floating City is divided into three areas: upper, middle, and lower. We, commoners, reside in the lower section, the city area. These separate private small spaces count as the middle section, while the upper is where the mages of the Arcane Circle reside.”

“What do you think, how does your ability level here?” Yu Hong asked.

“I’m not sure, but we’ll know when that one returns. You can also venture out on your own here, we found a small array on the other side of the island that resembles a Teleportation Array. Jiafei and the others are studying it to see exactly how it’s used,” Ku Chan said.

“In the future, rely on yourselves.” Yu Hong patted his shoulder.

“Thank you, Captain, for your protection along the way.” Ku Chan took a step back and earnestly bowed to Yu Hong.

“Once we settle here, Captain, you’re always welcome to join us in settling.” He said earnestly and sincerely.

“Thank you.” Yu Hong smiled, not saying more.

Watching Ku Chan bow again and then turn back to the others to continue discussing and making plans.

He exhaled, crouched down, and gently stirred the water with his hand.

Two small white fish in the water were startled, darting away, disappearing without a trace.

‘Perhaps staying is really a good choice…’

The sight of the calm, peaceful little fish raised this thought in Yu Hong’s mind.

Early the next day, Harvey returned, bringing information about the usage of the Teleportation Array and the possible destinations.

He also brought a permit for a temporary residence.

“Here’s your temporary residence. You can move there anytime after. Transportation here mainly consists of two modes: flying and instantaneous teleportation. Generally, it’s point-to-point movement. What you need to do is confirm the coordinates, then purchase a full set of equipment needed for teleportation. Also, Little Yu, how’s your ship doing?” Harvey tossed a stack of documents to Ku Chan and the others while walking over to Yu Hong.

“Still under inspection, but nearly ready for repairs,” Yu Hong replied, glancing at the others.

Last night, none of the group slept in the house.

As departure loomed, he felt an odd, silent atmosphere.

“Alright then, about what you mentioned before, the self-repairing materials–there are quite a few here. Among them, the appropriate one is Star Spirit Alloy. This alloy can purify impurities on its own and recover from any damage below severe wounds. For anything beyond severe damage, additional material supplementation is necessary. Most importantly, this material is also useful within Source Disasters, unlike many other materials that are fine in normal environments but useless once inside a Source Disaster.”

“What’s the price?” Yu Hong acknowledged the explanation, indicating understanding.

“Very expensive on the market, but not for you.” Harvey grinned slightly, “My teacher, Margaret the Patrol Chief, has plenty of this Star Spirit Alloy, and after hearing from me that you are the recently arrived Captain of the Savior Ship, she’s quite interested in you all.”

“What do you mean?” Yu Hong frowned.

“Don’t rush. My teacher means that Star Spirit Alloy is very rare and precious; she wouldn’t exchange it for money because she doesn’t lack money. So… she hopes you can assist her in an exploration. That place requires the Savior Ship to pinpoint the direction after entering,” Harvey explained with a smile.

“Is this considered an exploration task?” Yu Hong asked.

“Sort of, my teacher acquired a very peculiar coordinate recently, so she hopes the Savior Ship can investigate to see if Source Material can be found. The Savior Ship is the most efficient at sourcing Source Material,” Harvey replied.
