Is Chapter 38 going to be in the newspaper again?
Gold pounds represent survival, wealth, and many wonderful things in the world that money can buy.
And now, a full ten thousand gold pounds are right in front of him.
Xia Fa hesitated for only a second before deciding to take it!
The main reason is that collecting information about the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract, will definitely be very expensive, so he needs to save money as much as possible.
What Benny said earlier was actually half right; he did need to save money.
However, it wasn't to buy supernatural creatures as food to absorb extraordinary power, but rather to... use money to find all sorts of clues about the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret contract!
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round, and this is especially true in this extraordinary world.
Even high-level secret contracts can be bought with money, not to mention other things such as hiring private investigators, employing treasure hunters, and purchasing relevant information from the First History Church...etc.
Upon thinking of this, Xia Fa, who was sitting in his seat, was about to reach out and take the rather exquisite plate made of white crystal.
At this moment, Chief Giant suddenly spoke, his voice filled with deep respect, and a barely concealed unease:
"Thank you, Lord Glutton, for bestowing upon me the blood of Titan's brilliance. This is a gift of gratitude from my race. Please accept it—"
He had intended to say that he would insist on accepting it no matter what, but he immediately realized that such a statement was inappropriate and implied coercion, so he stopped talking right away.
Forcing a physical entity is tantamount to courting death. Just because of this one sentence, the Gluttonous Lord, whom you finally managed to please, could wipe out everyone in the cabin with a wave of his hand.
"Titan Starblood?"
Xia Fa was slightly startled, and immediately understood.
He had a vague suspicion before that what Beneath gave him was definitely not just a mere Titan Blood Crystal, otherwise the giant royal family wouldn't have been so excited.
Now it seems that the oval ruby is not only not a Titan Blood Crystal, but its name also sounds quite extraordinary!
"Benise is truly my lucky star! Doesn't this mean she went on a training trip and brought me back 20,000 gold pounds?"
To be honest, Xia Fa felt somewhat unworthy of the honor.
Suddenly, his gaze swept across the sky and landed on the dried fish covered in chili sauce hanging under the golden roofs of the giants.
To be honest, on a planet where peanuts are as big as mangoes, seeing fish that are only the size of a thumb is quite unbelievable.
Moreover, Xia Fa recognized that these dried-out little fish... seemed to be... giant grouper!
The giant grouper (pronounced the same as the character "趸"), scientifically known as the saddle-banded grouper, is also called the king of groupers. It can reach a maximum length of three meters and weigh nearly half a ton.
This world also has grouper, and because of its delicious taste, it is quite expensive.
I've heard that there are also supernatural creatures mutated from giant grouper, which are the kings of the near seas and are extremely powerful.
But Xia Fa never expected that on the planet Dark, where the giants lived, the giant grouper that should have been much larger was instead... only the size of a thumb.
Although his figure seemed to be enveloped in an extremely blurry mosaic, Chief Giant still noticed the movement of his head.
The elder patriarch, who was both the most powerful and the wisest among the giants, immediately understood something and quickly gave a look to his companion.
Chief Giant's wife immediately understood, and with a single grab, the dozen or so dried, spicy grouper hanging under the eaves flew into his palm.
He held it respectfully, raising both hands above his head, walked over, squatted down, and placed it into the Slyre crystal plate.
Xia Fa was somewhat taken aback. He had only made one move, yet these giants in suits and ties understood it so well.
Now he really had no choice but to accept it, because he could take it back to Benedict.
I don't even need to think about it to know that this spicy grouper must be delicious!
However, in order to maintain the false identity of the "physical entity," he did not speak, nor did he even nod in appreciation. He simply took the plate from Chief Giant with both hands in a calm motion.
If Chief Giant hadn't been kneeling with his body almost touching the ground, he wouldn't have been able to sit down and pick up the crystal plate.
Seeing that "Gluttony" had accepted the chieftain's gift, all the giant royals in the spacious wooden house, which was as large as a plaza, felt a sudden surge of excitement, as if their chests were about to burst.
If it weren't for Lord Gluttony's presence, some of the giants among them would have jumped up in frustration.
Although the entities are all mysterious in origin and incredibly powerful, each has its own strange rules that absolutely cannot be violated.
However, this does not mean that physical entities are as mentally confused and completely unable to communicate as supernatural beings.
On the contrary, the entities are all intelligent, and some even possess intelligence that surpasses that of humans, such as the most enigmatic and unpredictable story answerer.
The giant royal family once thanked the Poisonous Patriarch Veronica for clearing away all the strange things in the Thorn Abyss.
However, the entity didn't seem very interested. It merely nodded slightly to indicate that it understood before leading the army of Holy Poison Bees away.
And now, the "Glutton," who is also a physical being, has actually accepted a return gift from the Titan remnants. What this means is self-evident!
The next moment, the glutton, whose appearance and figure were so blurred that they could not be seen clearly, and whose body exuded mystery and strangeness, stood up, holding a plate in both hands.
The Slyther crystal disc, once in his hand, also began to blur.
call out!
Another spatial fluctuation, like an electrical malfunction, accompanied by countless frantic murmurs and low, hoarse roars, and the Glutton's figure vanished at a speed no one could see clearly.
Sunlight streamed in, illuminating the faces of every Titan survivor in the wooden cabin, each giant wearing an expression of flattery and surprise.
After only a brief silence, the giant royalty suddenly erupted in excited cheers!
"Is this true? Not only did Lord Glutton bestow upon my race the blood of Titans, but he also accepted our return gift?"
"Good heavens! If word gets out, I doubt anyone will believe it!"
"Haha, it's fine if they don't believe it, but if they do, they might be jealous of us."
"Could we be considered the first race in history to establish initial social relationships with physical beings?"
"Once this gets in the newspapers, it'll probably go viral on every inhabited planet in the Wright Star Region, and it might even spread to other star regions!"
Newspapers are always quick to report on any event caused by any entity, and they do so without any reservations.
This is to reduce the probability that others will encounter the entity and die due to a lack of understanding of the entity's rules.
This is also because those incredibly powerful and mysterious entities seem to be very happy for their deeds to be published in newspapers, widely known, and even discussed or celebrated.
In fact, every now and then, some entities will deliberately do things that will make it into the newspapers.
They could even wipe out an entire newspaper and all its staff overnight if some newspapers failed to report it in time.
No one knows why entities always like to make it into the news, but because of this, people are never afraid of reporting on these kinds of events, and are actually quite enthusiastic about it.
After all, news about real entities is one of the many types of news that people love to read.
Whenever news related to physical entities is published, newspaper sales tend to surge, with many people simply treating it as a horror story.
Moreover, since this is a real event, it seems much more thrilling than reading horror stories.
At this moment, Chief Giant suddenly raised his hand and pressed down, and the room immediately fell silent again.
Then, the aged giant king looked up at the magnificent roof made of gold.
The roof is arched, and a golden chain hangs down, with an exquisite spherical cage at the end, woven entirely of gold wire, as delicate as the birdcages that nobles used to keep their precious birds.
Inside the cage was a tiny figure that looked like it was made of cut-and-paste newspapers, wearing a top hat and a suit, sitting on a sofa that was also made of newspapers.
It held a human-shaped cloth doll, only a few centimeters long, in its hands and was reading it with great interest, though it didn't understand what it could possibly glean from the doll.
Look at him, he looks just like someone reading a newspaper.
Chief Giant solemnly began to speak:
"Was everything that just happened recorded?"
The little figure, pieced together from newspaper clippings, raised its head from the reading doll, but its voice was intermittent:
"It's been taken...it's been taken..."
Chief Giant was completely relieved:
"Alright, edit this briefly yourself, and then send it to all the major newspapers and nobles in the Wright Star Region."
After saying that, he looked away and stopped paying attention to the little figure made of newspaper cutouts.
This is the secret treasure "Photographic Newspaper," which can simultaneously function as a camera, video camera, telegraph machine, typewriter, printing press, and other tools for the news industry. Moreover, it integrates all these skills and is an essential treasure for wealthy human nobles and demi-human nobles.
Chief Giant clenched his fist slightly, his heart truly and thoroughly invigorated.
The fact that his Titan remnants have managed to establish a connection with a real entity is truly big news!
He eagerly awaited the nobles' reaction upon seeing this, especially those nobles who harbored grudges against the Titan remnants...
