Chapter 1386: Red Flag
Chen Xiaobei left the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce.
He put aside the thought of the Elite Hunting Competition which was ten days away. He still had a lot of other more important things to worry about. Thus, is was better to keep this at the back of his mind first.
Once he returned to the secret space, Chen Xiaobei instated the Interstellar Signal Receiver.
That way, everyone could enjoy the convenience of the network; not only could they access earth's networks, they could also access Northern Wilderness' and learn new and useful information.
His parents could also enjoy television programs online so that they would not feel bored or lonely.
Once he was done, Chen Xiaobei wandered around the New Bei Xuan.
He did not know what up was with his ladies, but all of them were working hard at cultivating. None of them had time for Chen Xiaobei.
The Primordial Jade Divine Skill he won in the Go competition was very effective, increasing everyone's cultivating speed 100 times faster than an average person; it was very nifty.
If this continued, soon enough, everyone would have major cultivation breakthroughs.
Luckily, Chen Xiaobei had enough Skybreaking Cultivation Pills in hand. Once anyone has reached the pinnacle phase of their cultivation, Chen Xiaobei could help them break through immediately.
Anything was possible with the pills!
As he was thinking about the pills, Chen Xiaobei's mind wandered to the Hundred Herbs Potion and the Heavenly Dog Biscuits.
He had used up these two treasures.
Chen Xiaobei had enough herbs to make more Hundred Herbs Potion, but making the Heavenly Dog Biscuits was going to be a little bit more troublesome. Even though Chen Xiaobei had wiped Penglai Faction's treasury clean, he was still in the hunt for two rare Spiritual Medicines, which were necessary in the production of the biscuits.
"These Spirtual Medicines are just too rare. I've already asked Focker to help me search for them, but I still haven't heard from him yet. Maybe it's extinct on earth! I better call Old Gu, maybe he could help! The Heavenly Dog Biscuit is a very important tool. I have to make more as soon as possible. I want to be able to keep good loyal hounds when I meet one. If I can't, I'm really going to regret it!"
At the thought of it, Chen Xiaobei took out the Verdant Emperor Divine Gourd.
He willed for the gourd to show him its interior, and it appeared in his mind.
The American president was sprawled on the ground, hungry and thirsty. He had not eaten anything for days.
"You must be hungry, huh?" Chen Xiaobei transmitted his voice into the gourd.
"Hungry! I'm so hungry I'm going to die!" the president cried out weakly. "Mr. Chen! Please give me something to eat or I'll die!"
"Our demigod Osnur has a piece of biscuit in his hand. If you can convince him to eat it, I'll treat you to something good!" Chen Xiaobei chuckled.
"Biscuit? What biscuit? Let me have it! I'm willing to eat it!"
The president was practically salivating at the word.
"Oh, you are not qualified to eat it! That's for Osnur!"
A long time ago, Chen Xiaobei thought that it would be pretty cool to have a president as his loyal hound. But now that his vision had widened, he did not want to waste the precious Heavenly Dog Biscuit on a so-called president.
It was better to have a demigod as his loyal hound. Now that would be freaking impressive!
But Osnur was sitting, legs crossed and eyes closed on the ground. He was silently cultivating, ignoring Chen Xiaobei and the president.
He was a demigod after all. Having been though all kinds of hardships, his mental strength was unusually stable. He was not threatened by Chen Xiaobei at all.
Osnur knew that all Chen Xiaobei could do was keep him inside the gourd, and could do him no harm. Thus he dared to give Chen Xiaobei the cold shoulder.
On top of that, he had enough lives at hand. He had already decided that he would never eat Chen Xiaobei's dog biscuit. He would just drag it out with Chen Xiaobei, to see who could last longer and who would die first.
Chen Xiaobei could do nothing about this.
Had Osnur been a regular person, he would have already caved in when Chen Xiaobei trapped him inside the Verdant Emperor Divine Gourd!
But Osnur was a demigod! Chen Xiaobei would not dare enter the gourd and fight him.
With no other options left, Chen Xiaobei could only wait!
As for the American president, Chen Xiaobei could not let him starve to death thus Chen Xiaobei gave him some leftovers.
The idiot knew that once he had filled his stomach, he had to act on Chen Xiaobei's behalf. He would have to coax and pester Osnur into eating the biscuit.
But Osnur continued to cultivate, unwavered.
Ding Ring Ring!
Chen Xiaobei's phone rang.
It was Wenren Jinghao.
Chen Xiaobei immediately set the Verdant Emperor Divine Gourd aside, and picked up the call.
"Mr. Chen! The three herbs you've asked me to find - I've found two already! The last herb is really difficult to find! Can it be replaced with another herb?"
Chen Xiaobei had previously asked Hua Tuo and the other doctors to write a prescription for Wenren Muyue.
He had given Wenren Jinghao the task of searching for the remaining three rare herbal medicines. Chen Xiaobei did not expect Wenren Jinghao to find them so quickly.
"No, there's no replacement! My prescription includes a hundred over herbs. A slight adjustment will alter everything. If we change the herb, then the whole prescription will be useless!"
"Oh, if that's the case, then I'll just hire someone to find it!" Wenren Jinghao said with determination. "As long as Wenren Muyue can be cured, I will search the entire universe if I have to! I must find it!"
"Elder Wenren, you really do love your daughter very much. I believe that soon enough, you'll be able to find it! Oh, by the way, I have question for you, Elder Wenren. Is it a good time for me to ask you now?"
"Mr. Chen! Don't be a stranger! You are Muyue's benefactor. Which also means that you are a part of our family! There is nothing between us that cannot be discussed!"
"Alright, then I won't beat around the bush and get straight to the point. What is the progress on the Atlantis investigation?" Chen Xiaobei treaded carefully.
"Huh? Why would Mr. Chen ask this question?"
"I won't hide the truth from you. I have friend nicknamed Ju Niao. He's a gang leader in the outer city who wants to take over the Black Dragons Faction, so he's been keeping a close eye on the Atlantis issue! I'm merely enquiring on his behalf."
"Oh, no wonder. We've made some substantial progress on the investigation! The South Town Temple custodian Lu Gang has woken up! According to him, it was two earthlings from the country of Japan who destroyed Atlantis. One of them, a woman, had died; the other one, a man, has vanished."
Chen Xiaobei's breath caught in his throat.
This was a major red flag!
Luckily, Bei Xuan was recently relocated. If they found out that it was Chen Xiaobei, it would be a massive disaster!
"Do you know who the man is?" Chen Xiaobei asked nervously.
