Jiang Fei lifted the two boxes, stacked them on top of each other with ease, and headed back to his floor. Even though they were heavy as they were at least 500 kilograms, boxes included, Jiang Fei’s physical strength enabled him to carry them easily. Then again, they were not too big to begin with. A box with 200 kilograms of diamonds was just the size of a television. The Caesium was even smaller than that.
When he was in his room, Jiang Fei unboxed the two and revealed the content to the ring. The diamonds were not as shiny as Jiang Fei had thought. They were dull-looking and rather broken. It was fine since what 0541 cared about was not the appearance but the materials itself.
50 kilograms worth of Caesium was packed separately in individual tubes that were secured inside another glass tube. Pure Caesium was unstable as it would immediately react with air and oxidize. At room temperature, the metal was in liquid state that shared the same color and appearance of Mercury.
After a few seconds, all the materials in the room was absorbed by the ring. As to how 0541 planned to use them, that was not Jiang Fei’s concern anymore.
“Captain, the second phase of restoration will begin shortly. It will take around 48 hours for the process to complete. I will not be able to provide any service to you during the entire process,” said 0541 in Jiang Fei’s mind.
“I understand,” said Jiang Fei. Jiang Fei did not mind the time taken to repair the ring as he was more excited about how much the ring could do for him once 0541 was done with the repairs.
Right after 0541 had entered its inactivate state, Jiang Fei entered the game. Once he was in, the ring in his finger glowed repeatedly! There was treasure nearby!
“Let’s go Bella!” said Jiang Fei after he had summoned Isabella out in the open. He then followed the direction given by the ring and reached a creek by a small hill.
“Yee haw~~”
“Drink! Drink! Drink!”
“Idiots! What’s with them drinking so much?”
“HAHA! LOOK AT MY NEW TOY!”
“Gather up folks, gather up! It’s only 1 gold coins for five ring toss! Get it around the loop and the prize is yours!”
…
When Jiang Fei entered the creek, he heard the loud noise of a crowd.
“What the hell? A circus? In the center of a hill? Wait a minute… That’s the Dark Moon Circus!” Jiang Fei was surprised. He immediately remembered how he met the despicable gnomes!
“Bella, let’s retreat,” said Jiang Fei. He knew who was the one in charge of this gnome camp.
“What’s wrong?” Isabella asked, puzzled. She did not understand why Jiang Fei would retreat from a bunch of cowardly gnomes.
“Hehehe. I’m not running away. I’m just planning to cheat them. These little cowards carry treasures with them! I want to use my nickname as the Dragon Knight to scare the bejesus out of them!” said Jiang Fei.
Jiang Fei got out of the cavern and headed somewhere far away before summoning the dragon. The dragon roar was loud but he was far enough to avoid having the gnomes hear the dragon roar.
“Let’s go and scare those cowardly little freaks!” said Jiang Fei as he cracked a smile. In a way, he felt pity for the gnomes that he was about to cheat. However, as a player in the game, he knew that everything in the game was meant to be exploited! Since he was deemed to be a Dragon Knight, he might as well use that fake status to gain something from it.
GROWL!
With a loud roar, Jiang Fei descended toward the creek and into the caverns.
“Bandits! You have been surrounded! Put down your weapons and surrender! Surrender now or be killed!” Jiang Fei roared at the top of his lungs. At the same time, he controlled the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon and activated its skill to breath fire toward the entrance. The attack was not potent but the light show was good enough to show his dominance.
“Oh no! A Dragon Knight is here to kill us all!”
“Run! Run away!”
“We can’t! Didn’t you hear that we’ve been surrounded?! If we run out, we will be killed upon sight!”
“It’s the Dragon Knight! What should we do?!”
“Big boss, what should we do? Tell us!’
…
The giant dragon alone was enough to scare the gnomes in the caverns. The happy atmosphere just a moment ago diminished just like that. One by one, the gnomes started to cower behind every rock and pillar and stayed there. The only way to escape was to run out of the entrance. However, since they thought that they were all surrounded, there was no way to run besides digging downward!
“Pfft!” Jiang Fei could not help snickering, and he did so as silently as possible, at the sight of the gnomes running around like headless chickens.
“Come out now! Or I shall end all of your miserable lives!” yelled Jiang Fei with dominance.
“YES! Oh yes!
“Follow his orders!”
“Oh yes!”
One by one, the gnomes that were hiding quickly gathered in front of Jiang Fei and quietly knelt there.
“Eh?! It’s you!”
At that moment, the leader of the gnome came up and saw Jiang Fei’s face. He then immediately recognized that the so-called Dragon Knight was the same person that they had encountered in the Dark Moon Island!
Having recognized Jiang Fei, everyone started to feel more relaxed. Meeting someone they knew would make things easier. They knew that Jiang Fei was greedy and they could use that to their advantage by trading for safety with their treasures.
“Tsk! It’s you lot! Why am I so unlucky! Every time I’m supposed to exterminate bandits, I always encounter you green little buggers!” said Jiang Fei as he pretended to be greatly annoyed.
“My lord! There must be a misunderstanding here,” said Forlow.
ROAR!
The dragon roared again and Jiang Fei calmed the dragon down before jumping down. At that point, Forlow could feel the difference of power from when he had met Jiang Fei the first time. He could feel the Dragon power emitting from Jiang Fei. It was actually from Isabella but Forlow had not noticed her yet. He had mistaken the source of the power of two dragons that he had noticed to be from the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon and Jiang Fei.
“Enough of your nonsense! You and your little green lot purposely wanted to bring me trouble! Tell me now or die. Are you hiding the group of bandits that I’m hunting?!” Jiang Fei roared.
“My lord, I have no idea what you are talking about…” said another gnome as he tried to explain. Before he could speak any more, Forlow stopped him.
“My lord, we have not seen any groups of bandits on our journey. However, it is an honor to meet you once again. Please accept this gift!” said Forlow as he took out a silver box and gave it to Jiang Fei. The box had only just been stolen from Twilight City and even though he had not opened it, perhaps it contained something precious that could save their lives.
Although Forlow had been traveling in the world for so long, he had never seen or heard of Jiang Fei. However, at that moment, he was sure that if he had not offered something and tried to talk his way out, in five minutes, every single gnome in that cavern would be minced meat.
Naturally, if Forlow and his “merry” little friends had actually met a dragon before, they would immediately be able to identify Jiang Fei as a fake. If they had bigger balls, they would fight back and could have actually won. Jiang Fei had nothing but his wits and voice. If the Level 60 Lord tier Forlow had fought Jiang Fei, Forlow would have won hands down.
“Hmph! I have wasted enough time talking to you lot. I’ll take this as compensation!” said Jiang Fei as he took the silver box and left with the dragon right after.
“Hoho! These little fortune leprechauns are so adorable!” said Jiang Fei happily as he had obtained the treasure that the ring had led him to.
