Ice Sea Lord: Starting with Intelligence Update

After a brief reunion with Blackstone, the group went their separate ways again at the market.

This market is a super evolution compared to the previous ones. Each fortress has been thoroughly cleaned up on its open-air platform, resembling a temple fair with long queues.

Perhaps due to the special nature of this operation, the fortresses that could participate were all well-known in the Sunken Sands Sea and could afford to pay higher prices for the transaction.

Therefore, no matter who they are, no one is clinging to those stagnant, moldy resources anymore.

They all revealed their true wealth, hoping to get a good price from these big shots and earn the difference of two or three times the original price.

He Feng led Lin Mo, Ji Chun, and the others through the bustling stalls.

Lin Mo was fond of those exaggeratedly designed swords, spears, axes, and knives, and generously used the salary that He Feng was supposed to give him to buy a bunch of trendy, heavy industrial shoddy goods.

Ji Chun didn't have much affection for his hometown. The only things that caught his attention were the stalls with piles of broken parts, which he called "Treasure Mountain".

I didn't call Sanqi over; there are too many people here, and she can't handle it.

Neither of them had much of a business sense, and they just watched with smiles as they brought over those trendy little trash items.

This made He Feng somewhat regret paying them wages.

Is it human to sell 100 grams of dirt to make a vibrator for an old-world electric toothbrush, or to buy a "Li Dama" brand kitchen knife that claims to cut through iron like mud with 200 grams of dirt?

This triggered his aversion to stupidity.

"Fine, let them be."

He Feng smiled wryly.

After visiting roughly three or four fortresses, He Feng still couldn't find the horn of the Arc Lizard he had been dreaming of, which inevitably left him feeling somewhat frustrated.

Weaving through the bustling crowds, He Feng unknowingly arrived at a dilapidated stall.

The stall owner was an old woman wearing a headscarf. All sorts of strange stones were displayed on a tattered cloth, and she didn't care about customers or business.

She swayed back and forth in the rocking chair, just like the rural old women He Feng had seen in his hometown.

Compared to the other stalls, it was a desolate sight with hardly anyone there.

"Want to buy something?" the old woman asked dismissively in a witch-like voice.

He Feng did not reply, and listlessly fiddled with the stones displayed on the stall.

The cross-sections are quite neat, and they look like they were broken off by a blunt object. Most of them were probably removed from the mines on Monster Island.

It seems there's really nothing worth noting.

After glancing at the panoramic view, he got up to leave, casually tossing the unremarkable stone in his hand into the pile of rubble.

The stone collided with the rubble inside, instantly creating an extremely tiny arc of electricity.

Without him noticing, He Feng quickly caught this scene out of the corner of his eye.

This made him extremely excited.

Insulating magnets are one of the materials used to synthesize Tier 1 anti-field shields.

It also has a special physical property.

It converts all physical external forces into electrical energy, and is otherwise no different from other ordinary stones.

He picked up another stone and tossed it lightly onto the pile of rubble. Instantly, sparks crackled and crackled, and electric currents danced everywhere, dazzling the eye.

"Oh, you're quite the expert!" the old lady said lazily.

"Take as much as you want, but I can't guarantee whether it's real or fake."

Without saying a word, He Feng silently picked out the insulating magnets that met the requirements from among the pebbles.

How could a normal person's eyes see an electric arc shooting out from inside a pile of rocks in broad daylight?

But He Feng is no ordinary person. Evolvers enhance their bodies in every way, including their eyesight.

With his quick eyes and hands picking and choosing, most of the good items were picked out, and the old lady, who had been calm and composed, suddenly looked unpleasant.

"Young people shouldn't lack martial ethics. Just take a little bit, consider it as pity for an old man like me."

The old woman pleaded for mercy, her anxiety growing as she watched the snakeskin bag in He Feng's hand gradually fill up.

Seeing that the other party wasn't buying it, his face suddenly turned ferocious, and he pulled out a wire and started hitting He Feng's arm.

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't take it, you brat!"

He Feng raised an eyebrow at the red-faced, thick-necked old woman, his eyes slightly provocative.

"You say you won't take it, then I'll tell you to go die, will you or won't you?"

Then they worked even harder picking at the rubble.

It's not that bad people have gotten old, it's that bad people have gotten younger.

Seeing He Feng's lack of appreciation, and knowing that this was a legitimate business, she stopped trying to stop him, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly in disarray.

"Chen Tianqing, oh Chen Tianqing, you've given your entire life to White Crow City, but what does the future hold for you?"

"With no secure livelihood, you can only set up a stall in markets big and small to sell the rare stones you hoarded in your youth, and you're still being bullied by such despicable people. Is this a sign of the decline of morality, or is this the end you deserve?"

Chen Tianqing dejectedly mocked herself, feeling utterly desolate.

"Wait, you said your name is Chen Tianqing, the chief scientist of White Crow City who made great contributions?" He Feng froze on the spot and asked in a daze.

"You little brat, you know quite a lot. Even if you mention my name, I won't give you a discount. I don't even know where my next meal is coming from."

With an excited heart and trembling hands, He Feng suddenly flung away the bag of stones he was holding.

As they rounded the rocky hill, their eyes shone with an intense thirst for talent.

"Grandma Chen, oh no, Ms. Chen, have you ever considered developing your career in other places?"

"Why should I say these things to you, you brat? Oh well, it won't hurt to chat with you anyway. I won't live much longer. I have something growing in my brain that the people of White Raven City can't cure, and nobody wants to bring in an old man who's half-buried in the ground."

"Have you ever heard of Snow Glow Fruit? I heard that White Raven City recently acquired a batch of Snow Glow Fruit; these should be able to treat you."

He Feng covered his mouth in astonishment, his excitement causing him to say a few more words.

Chen Tianqing glanced at He Feng, a barely perceptible hint of hostility on her face, her right hand gripping the wire tightly, almost bursting out.

"The council shouldn't have told anyone about this. How did you find out?"

He Feng smiled, completely candid.

"Because I'm the one who traded it to your White Raven City. Let me introduce myself. My name is He Feng, the newly appointed lord of the drifting fortress Azure."

"I desperately need a chemistry expert right now, and only I can cure your illness."

"Whether I wait to die in obscurity here or live a life of respect and comfort, I await your reply."

Chen Tianqing sighed helplessly, even though He Feng's words seemed quite convincing.

As the chief scientist, she could tell that He Feng's words were true, except that he was somewhat disgusted by that unserious and irresponsible attitude of the boy.

She is currently a discarded pawn, completely lacking the absolute authority she once held in the research department. Even if she leaves, she will only be seen as someone who couldn't bear the torment of illness and jumped into the sea.

"Say I was wrong, Grandma Chen." Chen Tianqing looked at He Feng with an imposing air and said.

At this moment, He Feng was completely different from his previous sullen self. He was half-squatting like a model student, and the admiring respect on his face was almost too much for her to bear.

"Yes, Grandma Chen! As you wish, Grandma Chen! Would you like me to carry you to our boat myself?"

"Come on, Grandma, let's get going!"
