Chapter 1311: Chapter 1311

In the Divine Artifacts system of the Red Clan Barbarian Continent, there was no such thing as a "Command Token". Joel George and Oliver were both curious about this treasure. Although they didn’t know exactly what it was, they understood that it was extremely precious. How could something that the newcomer had effortlessly fished out with such a high level of difficulty be simple?

Master Sun put away the Command Token - this time, not in the black cloth bags, but directly into the Storage Brocade Pouch - Joel George and Oliver only saw the treasure in the newcomer’s hand suddenly disappear, vaguely understanding something, but didn’t dare to say more.

After a day of fishing, all the gains were Divine Artifacts, but the Iron Plate of the Jade Pond Guard and this Command Token were treasures in the Cultivator system. The secret hidden behind the timeline of the Road of Despair was probably much more complicated.

Master Sun looked at the sky and put away his fishing gear, "Let’s go back to the city." He could live outside the city, but it would be too unconventional. Master Sun took out four of the Three Mountains Divine Artifacts and gave them to Joel George and Oliver. Joel George was fine, but Oliver was deeply thankful; he had almost run out of food.

Oliver had saved the remaining bit of money for today to treat Joel George to good wine. He planned to use the money to have a full meal and couldn’t afford to stay in an inn for the night. He intended to spend the night in some bridge hole or another similar place. He didn’t expect the newcomer to be so generous! With these two Three Mountains Divine Artifacts, he could even sell them and quit the business altogether, then go home to live a comfortable life.

Master Sun pointed at Oliver’s other two companions who were further away, "Share some with them."

Oliver nodded and said hurriedly, "All right."

Everybody went back to the city together. Master Sun returned to his inn, while Joel George and Oliver went to sell their "harvest" together. The best course of action was to quickly exchange the treasures they had fished for money and deposit it in the bank in the city, otherwise, accidents might happen. The shops and banks in the city close later than in other places, specifically to cater to the Treasure Fishers’ business.

They arrived at the familiar shop and found more than a dozen familiar Treasure Fishers gathered. The atmosphere between everyone was a bit off; as they traded with the store owner, they asked about the situation, "What’s going on? Usually, at this time, after selling off their harvest, these bastards would have gone to spend their money in bars or brothels."

The shopkeeper was also very excited, "A big event, a real big event! Someone posted a reward in the city today, seeking to purchase a Command Token fished out of the Road of Despair... What’s it called again? Command Token, that’s right. Guess how much the reward is?"

Joel George and Oliver’s expressions changed slightly. Joel George asked, "How much? One hundred and thirty percent of the market price? Oh - it can’t be just thirty percent, that’s the normal reward rate and not enough to make everyone so excited and agitated. Let me guess again - is it two hundred percent?"

The shopkeeper held up seven fingers and said viciously, "A Seven Mountains Divine Artifact! Joel George, you’ve never seen a Seven Mountains Divine Artifact in your life, have you... "

Joel George and Oliver’s faces twitched hard, as the shopkeeper and the other Treasure Fishers continued their excited discussion. The news had already caused an uproar in the city.

While Joel George discussed with the others in the store, acting as if he knew nothing about the matter, he noticed that Oliver seemed somewhat uneasy. After a while, Oliver left first, and Joel George followed him quietly without a word.

Oliver, lost in thought, didn’t sense that Joel George was following him. He walked into a quiet alley where Joel George suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Oliver, and pushed him against the wall, "Oliver, don’t be stupid!"

"Huh?" Oliver was still a little confused. Joel George said forcefully, "That newcomer is not ordinary, and the person who posted the reward is even more powerful. Someone who can offer a Seven Mountains Divine Artifact must have a Seven Mountains Power Believer backing them! Do you understand? The newcomer might not be able to fight against the Seven Mountains Power, but he definitely has the ability to take revenge on us. You’ve seen the details of today’s fishing; that guy could ruin us!"

Oliver quickly replied, "I understand, I’m not stupid, don’t worry about me. I won’t do anything foolish."

Joel George pressed his hand hard on Oliver’s chest, "I’m reminding you for the sake of our long-standing relationship. Take care of yourself." After saying this, Joel George left. Oliver picked up his hat from the ground, dusted it off, and put it back on his head. However, his heart was in turmoil: that was a Seven Mountains Divine Artifact, and the shopkeeper had said that if one didn’t want the artifact, they could exchange it for an equivalent amount of wealth!

I might not be able to beat the newcomer. I can’t steal the Command Token, but as long as I tell the rewarder about it, at least... I can exchange it for wealth equivalent to a Five Mountains Divine Artifact, right?

No, I could exchange it for at least a Six Mountains worth fortune! Oliver couldn’t help but fantasize, if he had such wealth, how luxurious and wonderful his life would be... He clenched his teeth, looked up, and realized he was in front of the small inn where he was staying. However, he didn’t go in, but resolutely turned around and walked toward the high-end inn where the rewarder was staying.

Yutomi Jūrō looked at the Treasure Fisher in front of him in surprise. He hadn’t expected that just after posting the reward during the day, someone would bring him news about the Command Token in the evening.
