Chapter 504: 504

“Ah Fei, I understand that there are different paths for you to follow . Even though we do not understand the world of superheroes, I want you to understand,” said Jiang Fei’s father as he reached out his hand and patted Jiang Fei on his shoulder . “We will always be by your side . ”



Jiang Fei mother sat just next to him . Tears start to roll down her cheeks as she mustered her strength to ask, “When will you be going?”

Jiang Fei could not move . He felt a pang of tremendous guilt when he saw his mother crying . A son’s greatest sin was to make his mother cry . However, it would be a greater sin if he allowed his parents to get into trouble . For better or worse, he had to become stronger .

“I… Tomorrow,” replied Jiang Fei as he immediately changed his mind on the spot . Initially, he wanted to leave right there and then but after seeing his mother, he had to stay for one more day to accompany his parents .

“Don’t be like that . Our son has grown up . He understands the world better than us now . Besides, it’s not like he’s leaving us for good!” said Jiang Fei’s father as he held his mother closer to him .

“That’s right . I’m only leaving for a short while . It would take at least a week . Even at most, a month, tops!” said Jiang Fei .

“Is it dangerous?” asked his mother .

“I assure you that it is not . I’m only going to my master’s place to seek for more guidance . Remember the times when I didn’t come back for the day? That was where I went,” said Jiang Fei . He understood better than anyone that searching for the ship’s fragments would invite unknown danger . However, he could not tell his parents about the alien origin . Let them know about the Metahumans and leave the alien stuff out .

“Hm . As long as you understand how to behave,” said the father . Jiang Fei’s parents immediately recalled that Jiang Fei had always said something about competition . Only then, they realized that it was a lie . Knowing that, the mother calmed down .

“Alright son, since you’re going off tomorrow . Let us buy some good stuff . I’ll make us a luxurious dinner that no restaurant could ever cook!” cried the mother . She knew that if she dwelled on the topic any longer, she would end up crying even harder than before . Might as well just let it go and accept the fact that her son was all grown up and that it was time for him to leave the nest .

“Okay!” Jiang Fei nodded . Even so, it was only his mother that left the house to buy the cooking ingredients .



“I may not know much about kung fu or karate but I’ll leave you with just one advice . If others think one step ahead, you think twelve steps ahead!” said the father .

“I understand . But twelve steps might be too much for me… Hahaha…” Jiang Fei laughed .

That night, Jiang Fei’s mother had indeed prepared a variety of dishes that Jiang Fei loved .

“Here! Have some of these lobsters! You used to sulk whenever papa took the rest!”

“Haha! Here son, I’m sure you could finish this entire lobster by yourself . Do you remember how to remove the shell?”

Jiang Fei was happy during dinner time . He remembered everything his mother had just mentioned . When he was slightly younger, his mother rarely cooked lobster for dinner and when she did, it would only be one or two pieces . His father would finish them up before he could even finish peeling the shells of the claw!

Jiang Fei’s mother had barely eaten any of the dishes she cooked . She was so busy bringing up past memories as well as putting pieces after pieces of food onto Jiang Fei’s plate .

After dinner, Jiang Fei chatted with his parents until it was 11 pm . They were talking about how certain kung fu were real and others were fake . Naturally, Jiang Fei could only answer half of them since his knowledge about martial arts was not as broad as the other masters in the alliance .

“It’s getting late . You best get some sleep . It’s a big day for you tomorrow,” said the father .



“Yeah . Well, technically it is only the norm for me . I’d be practicing some martial skills with my master . That’s all,” said Jiang Fei reassured his parents to lessen their worries .

After that, he took a quick bath and got to bed .

“0541, is there a target yet?”


“Negative . Currently, there are not targets found that are worthy to explore,” 0541 reported . The energy power left in the ring was scarce . 0541 had to limit the search radius by a drastic amount . It would be possible for it to search the entire world but it would instantly empty the power cache of the ring . Jiang Fei would need to search far and wide and when a ship fragment was close by, 0541 could immediately detect it .

“Let’s leave it at that . ”

Jiang Fei let himself fall onto his bed and closed his eyes .

“You’re late… AGAIN!” cried Isabella as she pouted .

“Ops…” Jiang Fei laughed it off .

“Oh well . Nothing I can do about it . In the end, it’s your world,” said Isabella as she sighed heavily .

Jiang Fei sighed as well and changed the topic .

“Let’s kill some Sea Serpents today, shall we?”

“Okay,” said Isabella solemnly .

When he logged out the previous day, Jiang Fei had just bought 200 Underwater Breathing Potions form the NPC merchant . He now had no Rainbow Shells left in his inventory .

“Let’s go,” said Jiang Fei as he handed one bottle to Isabella . Jiang Fei was not the only one who could not breathe underwater, even though she was considered as an NPC, she too required the potion to breathe underwater .

Once both of them had taken the potion, Jiang Fei and Isabella dived into the sea and swam toward the territory of the Sea Serpents .

The Mutated Sea Serpents were normal monsters . All of them were Level 65 normal tier monsters that had only taken at most five seconds to kill them . Unfortunately for Jiang Fei, these Sea Serpents were not gathered together . Instead, they swam around alone . Even though killing each of them was fast, Jiang Fei was still taking too much time since he had to swim to another place to kill another .

The worst part of the hunt was the drop rate . Even with super high Luck, Jiang Fei had only acquired one nerve strands after killing more than twenty of the Mutated Sea Serpents . To gather 1,000 Sea Serpent’s Nerves would take a really long time…

Jiang Fei and Isabella had been killing for more than four hours in the sea and had only managed to gather around a hundred nerve strands . The reason behind such poor efficiency was because most of their time spent was on swimming to the next target . Although the monsters were instantly killed on sight, it took some time for them to swim to another monster .

It was lucky that Jiang Fei had prepared 200 bottles of Underwater Breathing Potions . Or else, they would have much lower killing efficiency! Without the potion, Jiang Fei might only be able to hold his breath for so long . Every few seconds, he would have to surface to catch his breath, resulting in slower speed . As such, a few days might really be the minimum duration for him to complete the quest .

Just as Jiang Fei and Isabella were talking about random topics, Gulu was seen approaching them .

“What’s up?” Jiang Fei asked .

“Explorer! You’re here! I’ve finally found you! Please follow me back! There’s trouble!” said Gulu . Ever since Jiang Fei had gained more reputation, he had gained a Friendly status to all the Fishmen tribe . As such, the Cowardly Gulu was no longer afraid to talk to Jiang Fei with his weapons held out .

“What’s going on?”

“There’s trouble! Trouble there is! Please come with me! With me!” cried the Cowardly Gulu as he waved his fins and swam around .

“Seems like it’s a huge trouble . Perhaps it’s time for us to have a small break from hunting the serpents!” said Jiang Fei . He had already gotten so bored there .

“Very well,” said Isabella . She too was feeling extremely dull as killing the Mutated Sea Serpents was not even challenging .

Jiang Fei did not follow Gulu directly . Instead, he swam toward the snake-shaped island and summoned the Skygliding Dragon . It was much faster to travel by air than swimming in the sea .

In no time at all, Jiang Fei had returned to the Tidehunter Tribe’s village .

“Explorer! You’ve arrived! Please do something! You must save her! Save her you must!” cried Gulu as well as the other Fishmen that were present then . Everyone was shouting the same phrase over and over again .
