Chapter 9
Han Fei sneered . Wang Jie offered a mid-quality pearl, and you’re only giving me a few low-quality pearls . I’ll be a fool if I sell them to you .
Han Fei looked at Song Fei . Song Fei sniffed and said, “Be quiet! Let’s obey the rules . Yellow fish, sixteen sea coins per kilogram; white fish, eight sea coins per kilogram; green turtle, forty sea coins per kilogram . That blade is not for sale… If you want them, order them now; if you don’t, leave!”
Song Fei sneered . You want my blade? Keep dreaming!
Everyone was surprised that Song Fei backed the boy . What was his background?
Soon, all the fish, except for a yellow fish Han Fei reserved for himself, were sold for 1,480 sea coins, which equaled 148 low-quality pearls or one and a half mid-quality pearls .
Most of the money came from the green turtles, which were expensive . It was not a lot, but many scoundrels in the port were already looking at him .
Han Fei had a headache after he received the money . He had to spend the money as soon as possible, or the money would be extorted from him the next day .
Song Fei knew it, too, so he brought Han Fei to Wang Jie’s shop .
As a fishing master, Wang Jie was naturally qualified to open a shop . His shop was in the golden area of the district .
In the shop, Song Fei said, “Old Guan, I’ve brought business for you . ”
An old man, who looked plain but shrewd, came to welcome him .
Song Fei shared what happened with the old man . Immediately, the old man grinned . “Boy, it was not easy for you to survive a fish tide . Since my boss promised you a fishing pole, you can pick any of the poles in the shop as long as the price is lower than one mid-quality pearl . ”
Han Fei couldn’t tell the quality of the poles, but after a quick glance, he noticed that most of them were pegged at 18, 28, 58, or 68 low-quality pearls . There were about ten poles that cost 88 low-quality pearls .
There were only three fishing poles with a price higher than 88 pearls . They were labeled with 128, 168, and 188 respectively .
Han Fei rolled his eyes and said, “Mr . Guan, can I have the one whose price is 128 low-quality pearls? Well, I can pay the extra money if it’s too much . ”
Song Fei and Mr . Guan both understood . Everybody wanted a good fishing pole . They even thought that Han Fei would choose the 188-pearl one since he had the money!
Han Fei ran some calculations . He still had 120 low-quality pearls . There were too many .
Han Fei asked, “Mr . Guan, do you have any Fish Head Body Polishing Fluid?”
Mr . Guan was surprised . “Yes, but every bottle costs one mid-quality pearl . Are you sure you want one?”
Han Fei said, “Yes . ”
Old Guan carefully took a bottle of bright green fluid from a box and said, “This is a real treasure . Even our shop only has a limited number of bottles . Remember, train immediately after you take it . The effect of the drug can last six hours at most . ”
Han Fei put it into his pocket . “Thank you, Mr . Guan . ”
He left the shop with an iron fishing pole worth 128 low-quality pearls and a black dagger worth eight low-quality pearls .
Song Fei said, “All right, you’ve spent all of your money . Prepare some food for yourself . I’ll go back now . ”
Song Fei left, and Han Fei went straight to Zhang Han’s shop in the fish market through the main road .
Zhang Han was chatting with someone . He was surprised to see Han Fei . “Huh? You’re still alive?”
Han Fei grinned . “I almost couldn’t make it back . Here’s the money that I owe you . ”
Zhang Han was stunned when Han Fei presented twelve low-quality pearls . How did the guy make so much money after a night on the ocean?
Huh! Wait, he’s holding an iron fishing pole? That’s good stuff!
Zhang Han gasped . “You were the boy who survived the fish tide?”
Han Fei smiled innocently . “It was pure luck . ”
Zhang Han was so jealous that he wanted to swindle Han Fei out of his money right there, but he couldn’t because Han Fei did not have any low-quality pearls . It wouldn’t end well if Han Fei reported him to the supervisors .
Zhang Han said, “All right, you have money now . Do you want some bait? One low-quality pearl for a box . ”
Han Fei sneered . Are you really taking me for a fool? It’s only worth eighty sea coins in other places .
However, Han Fei merely smiled . “Manager Zhang, I have eight low-quality pearls left . I would like to buy some bait and clams . Do you have any?”
Zhang Han’s eyes immediately glittered . “Of course! Brother Zhang will give you a special price!”
Therefore, when Han Fei left for home, he carried dozens of clams and two boxes of bait with him . He had apparently spent two more low-quality pearls on them .
When Han Fei was almost home, a few scoundrels showed up .
As Han Fei expected, someone had been following him since he left the port .
A ruthless fatty rubbed his fingers and approached him . “Boy, I’m told that you earned more than a hundred low-quality pearls today, didn’t you? Do you think it’s time you pay your protection fee?”
Han Fei grinned . “Brothers, I did make some money, but I spent all of it! I don’t have any sea coins left now . ”
Enraged, the fatty shouted, “Liar! You spent 148 low-quality pearls in two hours? Who are you fooling? You have no respect for the Tigers?”
Han Fei was surprised . How did they know the specific amount he earned?
Han Fei raised his fishing pole and clams and said, “Brother, I did spend them! You know that I avoided the fish tide by sheer luck . I dedicated the Snakebelt that I encountered to Master Wang Jie, so he asked Brother Song Fei to shop in his store . All my money was spent there!”
The scoundrels were dazed . What? Master Wang Jie asked you to shop in his store?
They couldn’t have looked more awful . Considering how lacking in intelligence they were, it was proof that scamming someone really did require skill .
Ignoring how Master Wang Jie had scammed a Snakebelt from him, he had even gotten this punk to spend at his store . No matter how the money flowed, it all entered his pockets . This was truly a great scam .
The fatty slapped Han Fei’s shoulder furiously . “Boy, be smarter next time . Seven days from now, you will pay me ten low-quality pearls as your protection fee . If you can’t… Hehe, you’ll certainly regret it . ”
After the scoundrels left, Han Fei sneered .
Seven days? Hehe, in seven days, I’ll make you regret proposing such a demand .
