Chapter 127 - 96: Food Allocation! Attack on Song Dynasty in a rainy night?
“Of course there is.”
Zheng Cheng nodded, “There are more than a hundred corpses of the Black Sludge Fishman on the shore, and I killed many more in the river.”
“The Black Sludge Fishman pearls found on them, probably over forty.”
These more than forty Black Sludge Fishman pearls are actually special ingredients extracted by Zheng Cheng using random dissection surgery.
Originally, he was planning to keep them for sale or exchange for what he needed, or to give them to Chen Xiao and Cai Shen.
But now the mission has encountered difficulties and there’s a risk of a total wipeout, so he can only bring them out now to boost the team’s power.
He is not worry about attracting suspicion from Li Zhen, Qin Zheng and others.
The entire Black Sludge Fishman tribe has been wiped out now, and he is the only one who has their corpses.
Everyone knows about the special food within the secret realm that permanently increases the four-dimensional attributes.
The special ingredients that he dissected could be taken out using this reason.
“More than forty!”
Li Zhen exclaimed, his eyes changed, seemingly pondering something.
“What more than forty?”
Qin Zheng and Bai Jingqi also came over, the others were still resting.
Li Zhen glanced at Zheng Cheng, Zheng Cheng nodded, and then Li Zhen handed the Black Sludge Fishman pearl to the two of them.
“Zheng Cheng found this on the body of the Black Sludge Fishman…”
“Special ingredient?”
Bai Jingqi received it questioningly, his pupils constricting violently: “Three-star ingredient! And it gives double attributes, also with resistance to toxins and underwater respiration!”
“The value of this Black Sludge Fishman pearl is much higher than that of your Li family’s special potions.”
“It’s even better than some of the four or five-star special potions!”
Li Zhen said, “I suspect that the high-quality special ingredients may be because the Black Sludge Fishman tribe is the sole race of this secret realm.”
“The sole race?”
Several people were confused, Li Zhen then explained: “You guys typically focus on martial practice, I am different, even in the whole school, my marks for cultural subjects are the best!”
He adjusted his glasses, “I have never come across the Black Sludge Fishman tribe in the ‘One Hundred Thousand Common Different Races’.”
“So far, three tribes have appeared in this secret realm, the Black Bearded Dwarves, the Beastmen, and the Black Sludge Fishman.”
“The Black Bearded Dwarves and the Beastmen are tributaries of their respective races.”
“Especially the Beastmen, they are a slave race in the Beastman Empire and can only be considered as cannon fodder.”
“I have encountered this Black Sludge Fishman tribe for the first time as well, we got lucky on this first hunt, and managed to acquire so many special ingredients!”
“I see.”
Several people then understood, although they never really read the ‘One Hundred Thousand Common Different Races’ book.
Although I don’t understand what you’re talking about, it sounds really impressive.
Zheng Cheng neither agreed nor disagreed but he did not explain.
If you guys insist that this was a first kill, then it is a first kill.
Li Zhen continued, “Zheng Cheng, these Black Sludge Fishman pearls are your spoils of war, how do you plan to distribute them?”
“Of course, we won’t let you waste these special ingredients in vain, we will give you a fair price.”
“Facing a strong opponent, we should divide them equally.”
Zheng Cheng concisely said, “Each Black Sludge Fishman pearl adds 2 agility and 1 spirit, suitable for everyone here.”
“On average, each person can be distributed five Black Sludge Fishman pearls, which is 15 free attribute points!”
“15 free attribute points…”
The eyes of Qin Zheng and Bai Jingqi slightly brightened.
If it really is so, their strength may increase considerably.
Bai Jingqi couldn’t help but say, “My main attribute is strength, but if I could add agility and spirit, my resistance would increase a lot.”
Qin Zheng also added, “Zheng Cheng, thank you, these special ingredients… when we leave the secret realm, I won’t let you suffer a loss.”
“We are all colleagues and teammates, what’s there to thank for?”
Zheng Cheng said with a smile, “As long as we can safely leave this secret realm then it’s all good.”
“I disagree!”
A steady voice suddenly came from Li Zhen.
Everyone was stunned.
Bai Jingqi couldn’t help but say, “Li Zhen, what are you saying, why do you disagree?”
“Are you trying to monopolize these special ingredients?”
Qin Zheng frowned and said, “Li Zhen, you’re not thinking of organizing an auction at this time, are you!”
“Or do you want to buy all these Black Sludge Fishman pearls?”
“Your Li family really likes to do business anytime, anywhere!”
Chang’an City’s Li family’s main power is in many chambers of commerce, shops, pawnshops, and auction houses!
In the whole Chang’an City, no, it should be said that seven out of ten auction houses in the whole Qinzhou province are owned by the Li family!
In terms of wealth, Li Zhen and Li Jiao are the richest among the eight people present.
“No, you guys misunderstood me.” Li Zhen shook his head, “I think, these Black Sludge Fishman pearls should be gathered and given to those who need them more, not all of us.”
“For example, the two of you, and Yao Zhixue and Song Chaoyu!”
“You four are the strongest among us eight, and also have the highest professional star rating.”
“If it’s distributed to everyone, each person could only increase by 15 attribute points. If it’s distributed to you guys, each person can enhance as much as 30 free attribute points!”
“With the boost of these 30 agility and spirit points, your panel strength will increase by at least a third!”
Li Zhen said seriously: “At that time, with you four as the main force, we will have a better chance of getting out!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the three people, including Zheng Cheng, fell silent, carefully considering this proposal.
In fact, Zheng Cheng had long been persuaded by Li Zhen. As Li Zhen said, if the more than forty pearls were equally distributed to everyone, 15 points of free attributes wouldn’t change much.
But if they were distributed to four people, each person would get ten, which would increase the agility and spirit attributes by a whopping 30 points.
This is even an extremely precious treasure for Qin Zheng and Yao Zhixue.
They both are nine-star professionists, even if they upgrade to LV10, they would only get 90 free attribute points.
Now, a total of 30 agility, spirit attribute points, is also a huge temptation for them!
“I agree.”
Zheng Cheng took the lead, it doesn’t matter who he gives the pearls to, he won’t lose anything.
After all, he had already eaten 30 Black Sludge Fishman pearls, eating more would have no effect.
Qin Zheng admitted with a smile, “Li Zhen, you’ve convinced me.”
But Bai Jingqi said, “Doing this, would it be unfair to others…”
“Fair or unfair is not the issue.” Li Zhen said, “Being frank and talking to everyone, in order to complete the task, in order to survive, we have to do this.”
“Of course, I will also not let everyone suffer a loss.”
“I’ll compensate for the others.”
“What are you talking about!” Bai Jingqi glared at him and said, “Each of us is responsible for one. We stole five of their special ingredients. We can’t just let this slide.”
“As for the forty Black Sludge Fishman pearls that Zheng Cheng brought out, we will jointly purchase them!”
“That…alright.”
Looking at Bai Jingqi’s serious look, Li Zhen could only helplessly nod.
“That being the case, let me explain to everyone.”
Li Zhen nodded and immediately went to Yao Zhixue, Song Chaoyu, and the others.
A few minutes later, everyone was familiar with the twists and turns of the situation.
Cai Shen rushed over: “Damn it Brother Cheng, you actually have such fun stuff? And you’re willing to share.”
Li Jiao also said: “Brother Zheng Cheng, you are such a good person. If it were my big brother, he would have secretly eaten them by now!”
Li Zhen and Zheng Cheng were both a bit embarrassed.
Especially Zheng Cheng, what nonsense is this girl talking about?
Yao Zhixue and Song Chaoyu were also surprizd, looking at Zheng Cheng with some admiration.
Such a precious thing, normal people would hide it away.
Didn’t expect Zheng Cheng to actually be willing to share with everyone!
His character is really too good!
I knew I wasn’t mistaken!
“Do you have any objections?”
“No objection.”
“If we can get out, there will definitely be no objections.”
“Sigh… I wanted to eat it too, well, for everyone’s sake, I’ll bear it!”
Everyone also agreed with Li Zhen’s distribution, after all, his method was the most suitable.
Afterwards, Zheng Cheng took out forty Black Sludge Fishman pearls and gave them to Yao Zhixue, Qin Zheng, Bai Jingqi, and Song Chaoyu.
The four of them also each ate a Black Sludge Fishman pearl.
The rest, with eyes wide open, were watching them unblinkingly.
Cai Shen hurriedly asked, “So, did it work?”
“Yes.”
Bai Jingqi was the first to speak: “My agility increased by 2 points and my vitality also increased by 1 point!”
With that, he quickly swallowed the remaining Black Sludge Fishman pearls, fearing that someone would rob him.
“Me too.”
“It worked for me too.”
“Agility, if only it all added to vitality, that would be great!”
The other three also opened their mouths one after another, and swallowed all the remaining pearls.
Soon, the strength of all four people increased by a third, much stronger!
“Don’t get too excited, rest first.”
After distributing the pearls, they found places to rest one after another.
Having not slept for a whole day and night, the young people just couldn’t hold on any longer.
Especially Cai Shen, who quietly found a hidden corner to shape-shift into a human form, put on a set of prepared clothes, and fell asleep.
Zheng Cheng also leaned next to Cai Shen and was about to fall asleep in a daze.
Suddenly, someone quietly approached.
Zheng Cheng unconsciously opened his eyes, and a huge black serpent head was staring at him.
“Damn !”
Zheng Cheng jumped up in shock, but quickly suppressed his emotions.
“Chaoyu! What are you doing!”
He glared at Song Chaoyu inside the giant snake and couldn’t help asking.
The big sister.
I’m sleeping, and your gigantic snake slithers over…
Song Chaoyu leaned over and whispered: “Don’t worry, my soul beast is watching everyone, no one is noticing us.”
Zheng Cheng got excited all of a sudden.
Is this… a night raid?
Didn’t expect such an obedient Song Chaoyu to play like this too.
But thinking about her being influenced by her Succubus class, it made sense.
Succubus?
I think Jing-sucking succubus is more appropriate!
Zheng Cheng hesitated: “This… Chaoyu, it’s not suitable here. How about we find a quiet place when we go back?”
“Or do you like camping out?”
Song Chaoyu quickly reacted, glaring at Zheng Cheng: “Camping your head!”
She stretched out her hand, gritting her teeth: “Quick! Hand it over!”
Zheng Cheng blinked: “Hand over what?”
“Fish pearls!” Song Chaoyu glared at Zheng Cheng with her big eyes: “You definitely have extra pearls on you, give them to me.”
“Want pearls huh ”
Zheng Cheng was a bit regretful, he thought that Song Chaoyu would be bolder.
Now that it’s come to this, don’t blame him.
“Wanting pearls, is that your attitude?”
“Ah? Then what should it be?”
“At least you should call me brother.”
“Ah ”
Song Chaoyu’s face turned red, but still whispered, “Zheng Cheng…brother, give me huh ”
“Hmm ”
Zheng Cheng changed his position, “I’ve been running all day, my arm is a bit sore.”
“I’ll give you a massage ”
“Um, go down, use some force, that’s comfortable ”
“Humph Don’t give it to Yao Zhixue later, she is just pretending to be decent! I want all your remaining pearls!”
“Well…that depends on your performance ”
“Don’t worry brother Zheng Cheng, I won’t disappoint you “
