Chapter 183 - Telephony
Everyone was staring at Han Fei at the moment.
Han Fei thought to himself, I can’t just tell them that I can enter the Soul Ocean! This ability seems a bit excessive.
So Han Fei said, “My Little White can look for exotic species in the sea. Last night, I was chasing an exotic creature and somehow met Xia Xiaochan.”
“Exotic creatures?”
Everyone exclaimed in unison as they looked at Han Fei with shining eyes.
Han Fei gave a wry smile. “Don’t be excited. If exotic creatures are discovered, they will hide and cannot be found again. With their ability to react and escape, it’s extremely difficult to catch them.”
Zhang Xuanyu said excitedly, “But there are five of us! As long as we find their positions, they won’t be able to escape from us!”
Xia Xiaochan was itching to try. “I have the ability to teleport! As long as I’m within 100 meters away from them, I can catch them.”
Han Fei paused. Yes! This ability of Xia Xiaochan is way too powerful! Teleportation, this really is a magical skill!
Luo Xiaobai added, “I can release paralytic toxins in an area too.”
Le Renkuang waved. “I can…”
Zhang Xuanyu scoffed. “No, you can’t… Your Spiritual Clam can only change color. What the hell is the use of that? I can control the weakest fishes in the level-two fishery, which can help monitor the exotic creatures.”
Le Renkuang: “…”
The discussion was buzzing until suddenly, everyone looked at Han Fei again.
Xia Xiaochan’s eyes were shining. “Well, Hottie, we’re counting on you to get our contractual spiritual beasts.”
Han Fei shivered. “Don’t call me that!”
“Humph!”
Han Fei smiled awkwardly. “Shall we go to the level-three fishery to find contractual spiritual beasts? The exotic creatures in the level-two fishery may not be strong enough.”
Luo Xiaobai shook her head. “No. Contractual spiritual beasts can grow with their masters, and won’t be weaker than those in the level-three fishery.”
Xia Xiaochan echoed, “Their strength doesn’t depend on the fishery. Exotic creatures are not common in the level-two fishery.”
Soon, they reached a consensus and all looked at Han Fei expectantly.
Han Fei agreed, “Okay! I’m not sure if Little White can find any. I will have a try.”
Luo Xiaobai hesitated and said, “Can you give it another name?” Luo Xiaobai was jealous as ‘Xiaobai’ means Little White.
Han Fei: “???”
Han Fei didn’t take Luo Xiaobai’s words seriously, he touched Little White’s head and said, “Little White, can you still find a creature like the Golden Squid yesterday? Have a try…”
Little White got into the water and turned around for a while in confusion. In the end, it chose a direction with some uncertainty.
Although the others didn’t know whether Little White was reliable, they were very happy that he began to lead the way so they began to talk about what kind of exotic creatures they could get.
Le Renkuang shouted, “I want a turtle, an exotic turtle! Then my defense power can certainly catch up with Han Fei.”
Zhang Xuanyu showed a yearning look. “I want a fast one, the faster the better, whatever it is.”
Luo Xiaobai jumped in, “I need one that can both attack and defend to make up for the defects of a manipulator.”
Xia Xiaochan’s eyes widened. “I want one with great attack power!”
Zhang Xuanyu was helpless. “Isn’t your attack power strong enough? There are very few great fishing masters who can block your daggers…”
Xia Xiaochan looked at Han Fei. “No, he can. I want to pierce his body.”
Han Fei said helplessly, “Hey, you speak as if the exotic creatures are already in your pocket. And you, Xia Xiaochan, can you stop thinking of how to stab me every day?! Did I offend you?”
“Yes, you did.”
Han Fei: “…”
Suddenly, Luo Xiaobai said, “Well, everyone, let’s learn telephony.”
Everyone: “???”
Luo Xiaobai explained, “Before we left, our teachers guessed that we would go into the water, so they prepared a small technique for us with which we can communicate in the water.”
Han Fei was surprised. “Is there such a technique?”
Han Fei was shocked. When he went to sea, he was either alone or gesturing with others. So was there such an advanced technique? How did it work?
The others were also dumbfounded. They seemed to hear this for the first time too.
Luo Xiaobai continued, “I didn’t expect we would get into the sea so quickly, but just in a day…”
With that said, Luo Xiaobai took out a jade slip. “Telephony is easy to learn. We just need to practice it a little bit.”
The others took the jade slip suspiciously, and when they saw the so-called telephony technique, they all looked dazed.
The technique was actually a kind of energy fluctuation produced by the combination of spiritual power and spiritual energy. The magical part was that the operation was simple but the demand was high. Spiritual power was not easy to control. However, it was basically impossible for a fisher or fishing master to acquire this technique because they lacked spiritual power.
But great fishing masters could easily use the combination of spiritual power and spiritual energy to transmit a thought to a specific person’s mind. Although Han Fei didn’t find out what the principle was, he tried it and shouted, “Hey hey,” to Xia Xiaochan.
Xia Xiaochan patted Han Fei hard. “What the heck are you doing?! Stop making that stupid sound!”
“I’m just trying it out on you.”
“Why did you all try it on me? Now I have three voices in my head!”
Everyone: “…”
And then, two voices appeared in Han Fei’s mind.
Le Renkuang had an eager tone. “I want to eat barbecue…”
Zhang Xuanyu’s voice then interrupted, “Are you and Xia Xiaochan in love?”
Han Fei was helpless. “Okay, no need to try this anymore. Very simple, very low consumption.”
But the four others all looked around. No one knew what exactly they said to each other but they all looked awkward anyway.
Han Fei thought that maybe only he said something simple while the others, like Zhang Xuanyu, were gossiping.
Han Fei suddenly looked at Zhang Xuanyu. “What did you do to Hu Keren from the First Academy? I heard that you stayed with her alone for a whole night?”
Zhang Xuanyu scoffed. “What about you? I heard you abducted He Xiaoyu. What did you do to her?”
“I just said a few words to He Xiaoyu, but you stayed with her alone for a whole night!”
Zhang Xuanyu’s eyes narrowed. “Don’t two-time girls! Otherwise, I’ll beat the hell out of you.”
Han Fei and Zhang Xuanyu exchanged a glance as if they were eyeing up one another.
Xia Xiaochan butted in, “Are you two secretly chatting? What are you talking about?”
Han Fei snorted. “No! What, can I not chat with him? I’d rather chat with you!”
Zhang Xuanyu disdained. “I don’t want to chat with him! I was just in a daze.”
Little White swam for more than an hour and crossed nearly a thousand miles. During this period, Han Fei received all kinds of weird problems from the four others from time to time.
He looked at the others, who seemed to be chatting with each other for fun. This was literally even more convenient than making a phone call.
Suddenly, Little White stopped.
Han Fei shouted, “Stop chatting. We’ve got something.”
They all got excited and stuck their heads out of the boat.
“We can’t just throw the fishing rod at the fish. That’s how I sacred away the Golden Squid yesterday.”
Zhang Xuanyu suggested, “Take it easy. Drop the fishing rod three meters underwater and catch a small fish first.”
Luo Xiaobai immediately waved her fishing rod. After a minute, a Yellow-Bone Fish was caught. Yellow-Bone fish, like Strip Fish, were common fish in the level-two fishery. It was named so because its bones were extremely hard and could be used to make weapons.
Zhang Xuanyu’s face changed slightly, and his eyes became glassy. In the next moment, the Yellow-Bone Fish twitched and looked at them with its fish eyes.
Zhang Xuanyu took a deep breath. “So ugly… Fine, throw it into the water.”
Everyone: “???”
After a moment, while everyone was nervous and excited, Zhang Xuanyu suddenly said, “It is a turtle, a silver one. Oh, no, it has a lot of knives in its body, so many that I can’t count them all.”
Le Renkuang snapped his thigh immediately. “Mine, mine. Haha, the first one is mine.”
The others were not disappointed that this one was not theirs but were even more excited. Since Little White could really find exotic creatures, it was just a matter of time until they found others.
