I'm not just human!

Not to mention, just a few hours ago, that unknown being who tried to approach the real world lost control because of a single glance from the Glutton he was disguised as.

And now, when I pretend to be a glutton... it actually has the effect of preventing those around me from losing control?

Xia Fa sincerely felt that the identity of this gluttonous "entity" seemed to be becoming increasingly easy to confirm.

Before he could think it through, he heard Tefaro add:

"I was just a few blocks away from the Vandford Restaurant when I witnessed hundreds of civilians lose control in front of me, about to turn into monsters that looked similar to that unknown entity but without heads. Fortunately, Lord Gluttony pulled them back... I really owe it all to Lord Gluttony."

Xia Fa was even more shocked. How come he didn't know he had done such a great thing?

At the time, he was sitting on the third floor of the Vandefor restaurant, and all his attention was focused on how to deal with the unknown entity. He didn't even notice that such a thing had happened on the street behind him.

But it's all good, he's very happy to have saved so many civilians.

"No wonder I was wondering why everyone in the City of Ten Thousand Stars wanted to erect a statue and establish a faith in the Glutton. It turns out that besides resolving the crisis brought about by that unknown entity, I also unintentionally saved so many ordinary people..."

Xia Fa murmured to himself, guessing that this was probably the effect of the strange electric current at the base of his spine.

Since that strange electric current could help him counteract the effects of losing control, and even withstand the gaze of that giant heavy cavalryman comparable to the nine great gods, it seemed perfectly normal for the others to counteract the effects of losing control as well.

"I'll find some time to disguise myself as a glutton and study this. If I can master this ability to suppress loss of control, it seems to be extremely useful..."

The night market in the City of Ten Thousand Stars is essentially a city within a city, somewhat like putting Rum City inside Augustus City, so of course it's more than just one street.

As Xia Fa chatted with Te Faluo and the Laughing Clown, they soon found themselves on another street.

They immediately started strolling along the street and soon found a stall selling super-sized dried fish.

The stall owner was dressed like an old fisherman, with a worried look on his face. He appeared meek and submissive, but his aura was far from simple, making it impossible to discern his true nature.

Meanwhile, his straw mat stall was filled with bags of various kinds of extraordinary dried fish.

There were gem sharks, copper barracudas, bigeye snapper, and other species that Xia Fa had seen before, as well as crystal oarfish, spiked parrotfish, and golden yellow croakers, all of which were of high quality and had never seen before.

"Nature's Bee, can you help me check if any of these extraordinary dried fish are counterfeit or substandard?"

While communicating with the bees of nature through spiritual intuition, Xia Fa looked at the stall owner:

"Boss, what are the specific prices for these?"

The superhuman dressed as an old fisherman glanced at him, said nothing, and simply took out a sign made of ground whale bone with a price written on it.

A gem shark costs three thousand gold pounds.

Golden yellow croaker, five thousand gold pounds each.

Crystallized oarfish, six thousand gold pounds each...

"Master, these extraordinary dried fish are not only all genuine, but also of excellent quality. You can buy them with confidence!"

Xia Fa nodded slightly, then suddenly looked at the old fisherman.

"I'll take them all, pack them up."

The clown following behind him, laughing in surprise: ? ? ?

Tefal, who was also shopping with him: ...

The Clown and Tefaro exchanged a glance, beginning to suspect that Xia Fa had been mentally corrupted by Ai Luo Tong.

The tone and behavior were exactly the same as those of a wealthy person…

Xia Fa didn't actually intend to imitate Ai Luo Tong; rather, he was preparing to treat his own doll girl to a good meal.

Moreover, the super-quality dried fish itself contains considerable supernatural power, and the higher the quality, the more it contains.

In this situation, the super-sized dried fish can also serve as a strategic resource for Benedict, helping her overcome the difficulties of special training.

The old fisherman was taken aback at first, but then his worried expression vanished. He immediately stood up, nervously wiping his hands on the sides of his faded indigo trousers, his attitude as courteous as could be.

“This…this sir, the total is 530,000 gold pounds. I’ll just take the money from you, 500,000 gold pounds will do.”

Xia Fa smiled slightly and handed over a black bag:

"Thank you very much."

The old fisherman took the money with both hands, checked the amount of banknotes briefly, and then diligently packed it up for Xia Fa.

After he finished packing, Xia Fa casually put the large bag of various kinds of extraordinary dried fish into an empty black bag.

He decided to try and see if he could directly give the black bag to Benedict as support.

If possible, that would be so convenient, and it would also be a surprise for Benedict.

Seeing that he had bought the extraordinary dried fish, Xia Fa was in a great mood and continued to stroll around the night market.

But in the next few hours, they found almost nothing, especially the sacred metal; they didn't see even a single grain.

Of course, Xiafa did buy a lot of top-tier ingredients, and dried them into jerky. Although it cost several million gold pounds, it was worth it.

As for a suitable sealing artifact for Benedict, Shafa did find one, and it didn't seem too expensive, only a mere 900,000 gold pounds.

It was a cube that looked like a glass sculpture, called "Crystallization of Space". Its effect was very simple: in a moment of crisis, crushing it would temporarily freeze the surrounding space once, but the user himself would not be affected and could use it to escape.

As for the cost, it is that you will completely lose your sense of direction and be unable to find your way within the next two days.

As for the other sealed items and treasures in the night market, they were either too costly to use or didn't synergize well with the "Twelve Divine Swords of the End" that Benedict possessed, so Xia Fa didn't buy any.

Of course, this was also because they had only explored less than a tenth of the night market area and planned to explore it further the next day.

Finally, it was late at night, around 3 a.m.

The night market in the City of Stars was still brightly lit, and many tourists were still browsing around with great interest, trying to find a bargain or buy their favorite treasures.

Xia Fa decided to go back, get a good night's sleep, and check out the Ultimate Whale Watching House at 3 PM tomorrow, if she received an invitation in the morning.

The ultimate whale watching house is said to house whales that travel there not for valuable treasures, but because each whale has its own eerie and strange characteristics.

Therefore, every year at the whale watching festival, the Gold Miners' Guild invites whale watching masters to the Ultimate Whale Watching House to see and study those migrating whales.

Of course, if there is something that is definitely worth dissecting, the gold miners' association will split the contents of the dissected item with the whale hunter.

However, if losses are incurred, the whale-hunting masters will also have to bear the responsibility – this is to prevent some unethical whale-hunting masters from dissecting the traveling whales in the ultimate whale-watching house indiscriminately for profit.

Of course, what's more important for Xia Fa is that once the research on the traveling whales in the ultimate whale watching house is completed, around 6 p.m. at the latest, this year's whale watching event will officially end.

By then, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will be able to obtain the "Eternal Conditions" contract, a supreme-level secret agreement, as well as the dreamlike Deep-Sea Shadow Gold the size of a lychee that I have been longing for!

"I'm going back to sleep now. Goodnight, see you tomorrow."

At the entrance to the City of Stars Night Market, Xia Fa casually waved goodbye to Tefaro and the Laughing Clown.

Tefaro also yawned, looking sleepy:

"I should go back to sleep now. See you tomorrow."

The clown grinned in surprise:

"Well then, cousin, see you tomorrow, Tefaro!"

Then, the three of them walked together along the streets of the City of Stars Night Market toward the Lushurui Hotel.

As they walked, all three of them suddenly paused in surprise.

Xiafa: ...

Tefaro: ...

The Clown Who Makes Us Laugh: ...

So it turns out everyone's going to the Lushu Rui Hotel!

We're going the same way, so why would we meet again?

In the pitch-black streets and an awkward, eerie silence, Xia Fa, along with Te Faluo and the Laughing Clown, finally arrived at the hotel entrance.

Now the three of them truly said goodbye to each other and went to their respective emperor suites.

Upon entering the bedroom, Xia Fa immediately lay down on the soft velvet bed and let out a comfortable sigh.

Then, he took out Benedict's travel journal and opened to the first page.

On the very first page was a portrait of Benedict.

This delicate, lively, and adorable doll girl was wearing the black dress he had given her before. She was tall and beautiful, with long golden hair and noble gold-red eyes. When she didn't smile, she appeared quite aloof.

But looking at her figure, she seems to have gained a more mature charm, with even more curvaceous and attractive curves.

Below the image of the doll girl are three small compartments, specifically for supporting strategic materials.

Come to think of it, this is only the second time I've offered her help since I met Benedict.

Without much delay, Xia Fa directly sent the bag containing a large bag of extraordinary dried fish, along with the sealed artifact [the barrier of space], to Beneath through these three small compartments.

Whether it was the black bag or the square crystal-like seal, upon touching the small grid, they dissolved into the paper as if merging into water, disappearing completely with a strange spatial fluctuation.

Today I spent the whole day choosing whales for my trip, and in the evening I exercised and went through a great battle with the Extraordinary Monarch. I was even browsing the night market in the City of Ten Thousand Stars in the early hours of the morning. My schedule was really packed.

Therefore, after completing the support, while feeling relieved, Xia Fa inexplicably felt his whole body relax and become languid.

He only had time to put away Benedict's training notes before he fell asleep immediately.

……

beep--!

At dawn, the loud and high-pitched sound of a steam whistle pierced through the window.

Xia Fa slowly opened her sleepy eyes, realizing that she had slept very soundly.

However, I did get plenty of rest.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! The ancient Whale-hunting family declares Nerva a traitor to the family and severs all ties with him!"

"The president of the Spirit Master Association, Long Taoyi, has died under mysterious circumstances. The entire Spirit Master Association has been wiped out. It is suspected that they violated the rules of the Gold Miner's Guild by failing to intercept a tourist and are about to be taken to the Extraordinary Heavenly Prison on Gold Miner's Star!"

Outside the window, the cries of newsboys rang out, rising straight up from the street.

Xia Fa was taken aback for a moment, but then an unexpected smile appeared on his face.

He was still thinking about how to deal with the retaliation from the ancient Whale-Seeking Clan, since he had killed their patriarch and would eventually be found out.

Unexpectedly, the ancient whale-hunting family... actually severed ties with Nerva!

But it makes sense, after all. Nerva is already dead, and he violated the rules of the Gold Miners' Guild. It's likely that under Fuzairen's pressure, the ancient whale-hunting family had no choice but to make this decision.

From this perspective, although the ancient whale-hunting families were exceptionally skilled in whale hunting, they seemed to need to rely on the behemoth that was the Gold Miners' Guild for survival.
