"Elemental power?" Luo Kai was a little puzzled. What was that?
The middle-aged man had been paying attention to him. Seeing the doubt in his eyes, he explained, "Elemental power is a kind of attribute used to classify all things. It is a special power that exists in every life form. Everything in the world is complex and diverse. It can be roughly divided into five types: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The reason why we humans are called the spirits of all things lies in the word 'spirit'. Therefore, some people also call the elemental power the Five Elements Spirit Power.
The function of the Elemental Coral is to awaken certain elemental powers in life forms, such as controlling water flow, creating fire out of thin air, moving rocks, and so on. Of course, some people are born with this ability. These people are powerful and mysterious. They call themselves Elementalists. "
Luo Kai was extremely shocked. He murmured, "Isn't this an ability?"
The middle-aged man nodded. "Yes, it is an ability. Some powerful Direbeasts also have this ability. They can even topple mountains and overturn seas, destroying a human city in an instant."
"Sigh!"
The middle-aged man sighed again. "Unfortunately, only the fruits of the Elemental Coral can be absorbed by life forms. Its remains can only be used for research purposes. Even so, it is still very valuable. The remains of the Elemental Coral were sold for hundreds of millions of star dollars at the Imperial Auction House in Shang Jing City. Although this one in Seongma Province is small in size, it is still worth hundreds of millions of star dollars!"
Everyone in the room felt their hearts pounding. What kind of concept was hundreds of millions of star dollars? Simply put, it was enough to buy a small city in some poor feudal states!
The middle-aged man then threw out another bombshell. "I have already found the next buyer. The other party is willing to spend 100 million star dollars and ten portions of low-level gene medicine to buy this Elemental Coral!"
Gene medicine could significantly improve a human's physique. Although it was only the lowest level of gene medicine, a quantitative change would lead to a qualitative change. Ten portions of gene medicine could almost transform an ordinary person into a superhuman.
Moreover, the refining process of gene medicine was extremely complicated and was completely monopolized by the upper class. It had always been priceless. Most feudal states could only refine low-level gene medicine. Only Higashimogami Province could refine mid-level gene medicine. As for high-level gene medicine, it was even rarer. It was said that it was purely based on luck. Only one in a thousand mid-level gene medicine successfully refined would one be a high-level gene medicine.
Compared to money, gene medicine was more tempting to people like them who had lived a life of danger all year round. Everyone couldn't help but blush. Even Luo Kai was no exception. If he had this money, he could really live his life.
"Mr. Shu, where is this Elemental Coral now?"
The middle-aged man did not answer. His expression became serious. "Alright, it seems that everyone is very interested. If you are willing to do this business, you can stay. If you are not willing, you can leave. Everyone should know the rules. I hope that those who leave will pay attention to their words and actions."
After waiting for a while, seeing that no one seemed to have any intention of leaving, the middle-aged man's expression relaxed. He said, "Alright, then we are all business partners. Everyone, introduce yourselves. My nickname is Shadowmouse, and I have some experience in stealth and tracking. You can all call me Mr. Rat. I will be in charge of this transaction."
Everyone began to introduce themselves. The three black-robed men were Feral Beast Hunters who were listed in the Hunter's Association. They were nicknamed the Three Tigers of Sheshan. They had been in the army in their early years and had experienced hundreds of battles. They were sworn brothers and called each other Boss, Second Boss, and Third Boss respectively.
The Mutant with a tail was nicknamed Hairy Monkey. He was a famous thief in Longyang City and was known for his nimbleness.
Luo Kai thought for a long time and did not know how to introduce himself. He could only honestly say, "My name is Luo Kai. I don't have a nickname yet. I'm good at … good at fighting."
The three black-robed men looked at him strangely. Who would directly introduce their names like this? And what kind of fighting skill was that?
Only Hairy Monkey had heard of his name. He said loudly, "So you are Luo Kai. I heard that you killed a few of the black-robed guards in the Jiu Yuan Farm Village. Haha, not bad, not bad."
The middle-aged man looked at him with a smile. He did not ask any questions and directly knocked on the table. The center of the solid wood table slowly separated, revealing a realistic map made of sand. The map was a small hill. There were many buildings marked on the hill. There were also many small buildings that looked like sentry towers around it. It looked like a military camp.
Hairy Monkey looked at the map in confusion. His expression suddenly changed. "It seems to be Hutou Slope. The Elemental Coral can't be in the hands of the Dragon Shark Pirates, right?"
"Yes, the Elemental Coral is in the hands of the Dragon Shark Pirates!"
The Three Tigers of Sheshan looked at each other. They all knew that the higher the value, the higher the risk. The boss said with a hoarse voice, "Mr. Shu, Hutou Slope is the military camp of the Dragon Shark Pirates. I think you already have a way. Please tell us."
Mr. Shu nodded gently. "I have two ways. The first is to take it by force. Although the Dragon Shark Pirates have become an army, their discipline is lax and their strength is uneven. If we take it by force at night, there is a 30% chance that we can escape unscathed!"
The boss of The Three Tigers of Sheshan shook his head. "The risk is too high. It is said that the third commander of the Dragon Shark Pirates, Pang Kun, is in the camp. This person was a powerful physical warrior long ago. Later, he committed a serious crime and was wanted by the Association for Physical Arts. He was exiled on the sea. After changing his name, he became the third commander of the Dragon Shark Pirates."
Mr. Shu looked at him strangely and said with a smile, "It seems that the Hunter's Union knows a lot about the Dragon Shark Pirates. That's right, Pang Kun is in the camp. This person has been famous for a long time. His Skin Refining Technique has reached a very high level. Even guns and cannons can't hurt him.
He is very strong. "Then, he paused and said," My next way is to take it by force. Recently, the Dragon Shark Pirates have been recruiting on a large scale. We will think of a way to disguise ourselves as new recruits and go in. After we succeed, we can escape unscathed. The success rate is above 70%! "
The Three Tigers of Sheshan nodded. A 70% success rate was worth the risk. The boss smiled and complimented, "Since this is Mr. Shu's plan, there is no reason for it to fail."
"You flatter us. As for how to distribute the profits, we will talk about it after we succeed. You can go back and prepare!"
They briefly explained the details and then left. The Three Tigers of Sheshan also left separately. They were in the business of stealing food from the tiger's mouth. They had a lot of enemies, so they paid attention to the details and didn't want to be killed all at once.
Only Luo Kai didn't move. Mr. Shu sipped his tea and looked at him with a faint smile.
The two of them looked at each other for a long time. Then, Luo Kai broke the silence and asked, "Did we know each other before?"
"Haha, Third Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have changed a lot!" Mr. Shu couldn't help but laugh.
Luo Kai suddenly stood up and said excitedly, "You … You are Li Gui!"
Li Gui also stood up, held his hand, and said with a smile, "I should call you Second Brother. Third Brother, I've heard of your great name when I first returned to Dragon Ocean City. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Third Brother to already be Liu Hou's disciple, you're indeed a young hero!"
Luo Kai ignored his teasing and hurriedly asked, "Where is Big Brother Thirteen?
Is he with you? "
Li Gui's face darkened. He shook his head and said, "I was saved by the Dragon Shark Pirates. That day, we were at the center of the battle between the Dragon Shark Pirates and the Gray Tooth Fleet in Seongma Province. There were so many casualties that we couldn't find anyone. I thought you and Big Brother were dead. I only heard about you when I returned to Dragon Ocean County."
Then, he looked at Luo Kai's pale face and comforted him, "Third Brother, don't worry. Think about it. If we can survive, with Big Brother's ability, he won't die either!"
