I'm not just human!

In my spiritual intuition, I heard the lively and joyful sound of the bees of nature.

Xia Fa smiled slightly and responded with his spiritual intuition:

"Okay, thank you for your hard work from now on."

The bee of nature quickly replied:

"It's no trouble at all. It's my honor to serve you, Master. Please wait a moment, Master. I'll transform into a traveling whale right away!"

As soon as it finished speaking, Xia Fa immediately felt a cool, slippery sensation on his arm inside his sleeve. A rather heavy ball pressed down on the large, solid muscles of his arm, which were as hard as rocks.

"Master, alright! If there are any good ones among the traveling whales you choose, I'll tap your arm. If not, I'll pat your arm with my tail. That way, you can concentrate on choosing without having to ask me extra questions."

Hearing what the Nature Bee said, Xia Fa was quite surprised. He didn't expect that his pet would not only be very good at flattery, but also become so considerate.

Hmm... After this whale watching event ends, I definitely need to hunt down a few strange or supernatural creatures, like angels or even rulers, to reward them properly!

After giving a simple "hmm," Xia Fa fell silent and focused on appreciating the traveling whale in front of him.

The traveling whale was entirely sea blue, with smooth skin and folds on its belly resembling wooden strips arranged in a regular pattern.

Although there are natural bees present, so you don't need to go to too much trouble to distinguish them, it is still necessary to do some preliminary screening, which can greatly improve efficiency.

"Skin, folds, tail, eyes, teeth... these are the five basic criteria for selecting a traveling whale."

"Among them, the skin of traveling whales can be roughly divided into water skin, silk skin, and egg skin based on its texture..."

"As for the folds on their bellies, they can be simply divided into wavy folds, spindle folds, and slat folds..."

“Travel whales that are easier to find good specimens from are generally those with similar physical characteristics. For example, a watery skin with wavy folds is similar to the image of ‘water’, and the probability of finding good specimens is greater.”

"However, sometimes it's not necessary to follow this rule completely..."

Xiafa briefly recalled in his mind that the criteria for selecting the traveling whales were based on the teachings of Captain Red Pufferfish, Prince Justinian, and Avalon, who had taught him together at sea.

As for the light that emerges from the belly of a traveling whale after it has been cut open, which indicates the quality of the items being cut, it is divided into the following categories from lowest to highest:

White light, purple light, golden light, tri-color light, five-color light, seven-color light, nine-color light, twelve-color light, and the rarest fifteen-color light.

Xia Fa understood that in a fungus-level whale watching house, being able to extract a three- or five-colored light was considered extremely lucky.

He took a closer look at the house-sized traveling whale in front of him, and then, his spiritual intuition stirred, and he asked the bee of nature a question.

The Bee of Nature had long since transformed into the form of a miniature traveling whale, hiding in his sleeve, and then patted his arm with its tail.

"So, in that case, there's nothing good here..."

Xia Fa nodded slightly. In fact, the teeth and pupils of the traveling whale in front of him could barely be compared to the image of a coconut tree.

However, it's normal that there's nothing good in it.

"It's out! It's out! I've got it! Hahaha!"

Suddenly, a surprised exclamation rang out from a red-haired young man not far to the left.

At that moment, he used the small knife he carried with him to cut open the belly of a traveling whale in front of him.

The instant he made the cut, a tricolor light suddenly emerged from the belly of the traveling whale!

People around looked on with envy, and several middle-aged men dressed as businessmen moved quickly and approached the traveling whale.

The red-haired young man wasn't afraid at all. After all, this was a whale watching event organized by the Gold Miners' Guild, and no one would dare to steal the valuable items that others had extracted.

Furthermore, the Gold Miners' Guild would even send people to escort those who chose to leave after finding valuable items, and there were even specially built ritual teleportation rooms to help them escape the surveillance and tracking of those with ill intentions.

Therefore, even when people gathered around, the red-haired young man didn't care at all, and instead excitedly showed off to those around him.

Immediately, he bent down, reached his hands into the belly of the traveling whale, and began to grope with difficulty.

With a "whoosh," the red-haired young man suddenly yanked, and actually... pulled out a clump of seaweed!

Hidden among the seaweed was an extraordinary fruit shaped like a chicken heart, covered with bizarre and chaotic patterns, emanating wisps of black mist.

"This is... a fruit tainted with the blood of a god!"

"The Void Eye Fruit! It's the Void Eye Fruit! Young man, no, handsome sir, are you willing to pay for it? I can offer 500,000 gold pounds!"

"You want to buy it for 500,000 gold pounds? I'll offer 530,000 gold pounds!"

"Five hundred and fifty thousand gold pounds, take it or leave it!"

"I'm telling you, fellow professionals, don't try to take this from me. The secret contract I signed allows me to absorb this Divine Blood Fruit, thus evolving my secret contract abilities. I'm offering 600,000. If anyone raises the price, I'll keep up. However, anyone who maliciously raises the price should consider whether they can withstand the wrath of the Theseus family."

Xia Fa watched from a distance with great curiosity.

Divine Blood Fruit is a general term for a certain type of extremely rare and extraordinary fruit.

These extraordinary fruits are either fruits that have been contaminated with the blood of gods, outer gods, or even true gods, resulting in great mutations or even an elevation in rank, transforming them into the highest-ranking divine blood fruits among extraordinary fruits.

Or perhaps, an extraordinary plant absorbed the blood of the gods and directly produced divine blood fruit.

Among these fruits, the most expensive ones are worth as much as sacred metal of the same volume!

"The Void Eye Fruit is probably most needed by those extraordinary individuals who have signed the high-level secret contracts of Starlight Leech and Starlight Shadow, right? It's a pity I don't have any use for it..."

Now, with a fortune of over 25 million gold pounds in his pocket, Xia Fa can certainly afford the mere 600,000 gold pounds worth of the Divine Blood Fruit.

However, if the three overlord-level secret contracts he signed were to work, especially the divine blood fruits that could transform some of his overlord-level secret contract abilities, then they would all have to be divine blood fruits tainted with the blood of outer gods or even the blood of true gods.

The farce ended quickly, and the red-haired young man chose to sell the Void Eye Fruit, earning a full 600,000 gold pounds.

He appeared to be just an adventurer, and a rather poor one at that. The traveling whale he had dissected was worth only about 30,000 gold pounds, so he had made a fortune and attracted a lot of envious glances.

Several attractive young women even approached him on the spot to chat.

After all, with a net worth of 600,000 gold pounds... as long as that money isn't spent on selecting traveling whales, it's enough to live a very comfortable life.

Xia Fa noticed that Tefaro, Prince Justinian, and the others were intently looking around at the traveling whale that was emitting tricolored light, as if trying to find something special about it.

However, this traveling whale, with its eggshell-like shape, spindle-shaped folds, grinding teeth, and wavy tail, is a completely unique image.

Beforehand, no one could have predicted that a divine blood fruit worth 600,000 gold pounds could be found inside!

Perhaps because of the red-haired young man's exceptional luck, the atmosphere inside the whale-watching house, which spans tens of thousands of square meters, suddenly became lively.

Many people who were initially hesitant bought the travel whales they wanted from the sales staff on site.

Immediately afterwards, lights began to emerge from the entire whale watching house.

"Golden light! Someone has discovered golden light!"

"Come on, that guy spent a whopping 260,000 yuan to buy that traveling whale, and when he cut it open, it was all gold. He already lost money."

"Hahaha, a whale that costs 170,000 yuan for a tour only produced white light when it was dissected? I'm dying of laughter, hahahahaha!"

"I wasn't optimistic about that traveling whale either. It looked like it had wavy folds and a watery surface, but its teeth were lion's teeth, which directly broke through the imagery of 'water.' It was obviously not going to produce anything good. Now it's paid its dues, hasn't it? Hahaha."

"The purple light has appeared... well, it only cost six thousand gold pounds anyway, so it's a small profit."

Dozens of people bought their desired travel whales and chose to have them cut open, but none of them were able to produce the tricolor light again, and even the golden light was rare.

Xia Fa was also selecting one traveling whale after another, when suddenly he stopped in front of a certain traveling whale.

It was a traveling whale, only the size of a water tank, entirely black, and not just a light black, but a jet black like paint.

In addition, this traveling whale's belly had almost no wrinkles, being as smooth as its skin, while its tail was the most common whale tail.

Xia Fa crouched down slightly and looked at the pupil painting hidden in its eyes. He only saw a black hole. He then pried open its upper lip to look at its teeth, which turned out to be strange and eerie sharp teeth.

At this moment, a nosy middle-aged man approached and whispered:

“Young man, listen to my advice, whatever you do, don’t choose this alien traveling whale. I’ve seen it, and it’s the hardest to find anything good inside. If you can find purple light inside, that’s already pretty good. But it’s ridiculously expensive, a full 1.05 million gold pounds!”

Xia Fa was also pondering. He had a feeling that something good could be found out from this, but he wasn't sure.

Just then, many more people gathered around, pointing and commenting on the unusual traveling whale.

"Look, the whale skin is pure black, and the pupils are painted with black holes. What does this mean? It means that anyone who dares to put money into this traveling whale is like throwing money into a black hole—they will absolutely get nothing!"

"Yes, the similarities in the characteristics of traveling whales can be very telling. Who would throw money into a black hole?"

"Hmph, the Gold Prospectors' Guild dare to sell for 1.05 million gold pounds? I bet they're just ripping off suckers and clueless newbies!"

Seeing that many seemingly experienced people around him were not optimistic about this exotic traveling whale, Xia Fa, for some reason, became even more eager to buy it.

He immediately used his spiritual intuition to inquire about the bees of nature.

Unexpectedly, the bee bumped into him with its belly this time.

This means... there really is something good in here!

However, this traveling whale is indeed quite expensive, costing a full 1.05 million gold pounds.

Even though he had more than 25 million gold pounds, it was still quite risky to spend one-twenty-fifth of it at once.

Especially considering that there is a possibility of encountering even better and extremely expensive tourist whales later on, and that once the money runs out, it may be too expensive to buy them.

On the other hand, for the Nature Bees, it seems that anything worth hundreds of thousands of gold pounds or more is considered a good item.

In other words, even if the Natural Bee is certain there are good things inside, buying it and cutting it open might not be profitable, especially if it can only be sold for a few hundred thousand gold pounds.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Fa glanced at the jet-black alien traveling whale a few more times and finally decided to buy it!

He trusted his intuition!

Chapter 237: A Treasure Unearthed Right Away? Xia Fa, who was making a fortune at the start, has actually produced another seven-colored light?!

"Sir, you...you really want to buy this?"

The sales assistant's voice trembled, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes shone.

He was merely a sales associate at a "bacterial-level" whale watching lodge and had never even been to a "worm-level" whale watching lodge.

Therefore, since joining the Gold Miners' Guild, he has rarely seen such a generous and daring customer.

That's 1.05 million gold pounds!

It's almost one of the most expensive whales in the whale watching resort!

"Ah."

Xia Fa simply nodded, flipped his palm, and casually tossed out a black bag.

There's an unwritten rule at whale watching events: cash is the only payment accepted.

Therefore, as early as yesterday, he exchanged all the bank drafts in the City of Ten Thousand Stars for cash, and together with the ones he had received before and those given by his great-grandfather, he filled several black bags.
