Chapter 27 What to do when you have no money?
"Could it be that the Mountain and Sea Realm is actually the garden of the Supreme Jade Emperor of the Golden Palace of the Heavenly Emperor, and this person is the god who manages the Mountain and Sea Realm on behalf of the Emperor?" Chen Yang pondered for a while after listening to Su Fan's words and came to a strange conclusion.
"Isn't this the Jade Emperor's decree recorded in the 'Collection of the Deeds of the Supreme Jade Emperor' from the Song Dynasty? It's missing some details, but how do you know about this?" Su Fan asked curiously.
"Ah! Isn't this complete?" Chen Yang was somewhat surprised that he remembered it was an incomplete version of the title.
"The full title is 'Supreme Jade Emperor, the Supreme Being of the Heavenly Palace, the Unsurpassed and Wondrous Being of Nature, the Supreme Being of the Jade Palace, the Jade Emperor.' However, the Jade Emperor and the Jade Emperor are essentially different, although the full title of Jade Emperor shows an intention to unify the two," Su Fan explained.
"A fortune teller from my hometown told me this, and I thought I remembered the full name. After all, it would be cool to remember the Jade Emperor's full name, so I made a point of memorizing it," Chen Yang said.
"That's not the point. This is the End Island. According to Luo Jiuchuan, we're all newcomers. What if they have ulterior motives and steal our emotional crystals? How are we going to repay our debts?" Jiang He said with some worry.
"What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I'll just fight to the death. Death in the Mountain and Sea Realm isn't the same as real death. Anyone who dares to steal the fruits of my labor should be prepared to be killed. Dragons have scales; touch them and they will be enraged!" Chen Yang spoke as if he were possessed by a dragon-like overlord.
"Su Fan, what do you say?" Jiang He had given up hope on Chen Yang and turned to communicate with Su Fan instead.
"We'll just have to stay the same no matter what," Su Fan said calmly.
Fortunately, this situation was anticipated. These working people are really not ordinary people. Chen Yang is practically a reckless man who suddenly transforms into a hot-blooded protagonist, while Jiang He is probably just delusional about being persecuted!
This was clearly not my original idea.
In the blink of an eye, Yingzhao had arrived on Qingyu Island. With a single breath, he absorbed the emotional crystals around Jiang He and the others into his stomach.
"You lot must be the newcomers who owe Luo boy his emotional crystallization! I'm here to collect the debt for him. I thought Luo boy was joking with me, but I didn't expect that after a hundred years... newcomers have finally arrived in the Mountain and Sea Realm," Yingzhao said.
Upon inspection, everyone saw that ninety percent of the emotional crystallization had indeed been taken away.
Upon learning that the other party was helping to collect debts, the group relaxed.
"A hundred years? You mean it's been a hundred years since any new people have come to the Mountain and Sea Realm?" Jiang He keenly grasped the key point in Ying Zhao's words.
"Exactly." Yingzhao nodded, the tiger stripes gleaming strangely in the sunlight. "The last time a newcomer entered the Mountain and Sea Realm was a hundred years ago. There were some problems with the connection between the Mountain and Sea Realm and other worlds before that."
"What about the other residents of the Mountain and Sea Realm? Luo Jiuchuan said he's not from the same world as us, what's going on?" Seeing that the other party was communicating, Jiang He started chatting with him on her own.
"Since ancient times, the Mountain and Sea Realm has been a place where all the heavens and myriad worlds converge." Ying Zhao spread his wings, his voice resonant and far-reaching. "Those destined from different worlds may obtain the inheritance of divine beasts and enter this place. However, a hundred years ago, the connecting passage had some problems, causing the flow of newcomers to cease. Young Luo was one of those who entered before."
Chen Yang asked curiously, "And you? How long have you been in the Mountain and Sea Realm?"
Yingzhao gave a meaningful look: "I was born and raised here. How long exactly... I can't remember."
He changed the subject: "Alright, you can explore the situation of the Mountain and Sea Realm at your own pace in the future. I came here today to welcome you. Young Luo should have told you that the Mountain and Sea Realm has eighty-one floating islands with countless opportunities. If you want to go to other islands, I can help you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately stepped forward, his entire demeanor devoid of any arrogance, his face filled with flattery and ingratiation.
"Really? Lord Yingzhao, I'm willing!" Chen Yang said obsequiously, his voice full of eagerness and flattery.
Su Fan exclaimed, "Wow!" He guessed that Chen Yang had already automatically substituted Ying Zhao into the supporting character template of leading the protagonist to open up a new map.
"Of course, the travel expenses from the last island, Jade Island, to the eightieth island, Bright Island, will be ten Emotion Crystals," Yingzhao said.
"Do we have to pay more? Is it because we're going from a lower-level island to a higher-level floating island?" Jiang He asked.
"That's not it. In theory, if you have enough strength, you can travel freely between the islands without paying any fees. There are no rules about setting up checkpoints and charging fees in the Mountain and Sea Realm; everything depends on your ability. But right now..." Yingzhao's gaze swept over the five people, and his meaning was self-evident.
"Okay, I understand! I understand!" Chen Yang was about to leave with the emotional crystal when Jiang He stopped him.
Jiang He, Su Fan, Chen Yang, and Wang Jianguo tacitly gathered together to discuss the matter.
"Sister Jiang, what are you doing? I can't wait to go to the eightieth island. The chance to achieve immortality is right in front of me," Chen Yang said anxiously.
"We're going to collect money, so let's discuss this first," Wang Jianguo said.
"It's just ten emotion crystals, it's not like we can't afford it. Although we don't have many emotion crystals left after paying off our debts, we can still afford it! What's there to discuss?" Chen Yang said nonchalantly.
"Uncle Wang, Sister Jiang, Brother Su, I don't know if you think this way, but I'm definitely going to the 80th Island. You have to understand, we are the protagonists who will receive the inheritance, and fate will guide us on the path to becoming the strongest. Going to the 80th Island is the opportunity to become stronger. It's just like the cultivation techniques in the world of immortals and heroes, or the martial arts sects in the world of martial arts." Chen Yang said.
"Listen to me first. According to Yingzhao, theoretically, there is no charge for traveling between the islands. We only charge a fee because our abilities are limited. If that's the case, it would be beneficial for people in the Mountain and Sea Realm who have the ability to travel freely between the islands. Just like taxis have competition, why is it only Yingzhao who has it..." Perhaps Jiang He was being cautious, so her first thought wasn't about any opportunity.
"Sister Jiang, that's not important. It's like how the protagonist in a martial arts novel needs martial arts manuals to cultivate internal energy and elixirs to enhance his internal strength. But the principles of cultivating internal energy and the pharmacological effects of elixirs are not important." Chen Yang interrupted Jiang He.
"Okay! Maybe these things are important, but not that important. The protagonist's life after cultivation, pretending to be weak while actually being strong, slapping faces and showing off, and playing around in the martial arts world are more important." Perhaps realizing that his words were inappropriate, Chen Yang changed his words.
While Su Fan, Jiang He, Wang Jianguo, and Chen Yang's small team discussed the matter, Tokugawa Koji approached Yingzhao and asked, "Sir, I also want to go to the eightieth floating island, but I don't have any emotional crystals. What should I do?"
