Storm Goddess
Atlantic Ocean, Storm Goddess.
"Xia Fei, I will bring you to meet the other exploration team members." Andre said.
Xia Fei waved his hand. "There are a few hundred people on this ship. You can't possibly introduce all of them to me, right?"
Andre laughed heartily. "That's true. Exploring Atlantis has always been my dream, so I'm a little too excited.
"I'm not as excited as you. I heard from Wu Long that the safety of this ship isn't optimistic. We should still be careful." Xia Fei calmly said.
The Black Snake Gang was very strange. After Xia Fei killed Madman and Wild Rose in one go, not only did the Black Snake Gang not retaliate, but they even took the initiative to remove Xia Fei, Wu Long, and Andre from the Black Snake List. The preparation of the entire exploration plan was progressing exceptionally smoothly.
There must be a reason behind this abnormality. Logically speaking, the leader of the Black Snake Gang, Black Rhino, was a vengeful person and would never let the matter rest. For him to be able to endure until now, there must be an unspeakable conspiracy.
Even Wu Long, who was known for his carelessness, had already sensed the restlessness behind the calmness. Xia Fei had no reason to not pay attention to it.
Andre gave Xia Fei a look. His grandson, Charlie, was still here, so it was inconvenient to talk about some things.
Xia Fei glanced at the sunset. "I want to take a bath first. Let the three of us have dinner together. It has been a few months since we last met."
"Alright, I will ask the kitchen to prepare some delicious food. You have stayed in the mountains for three months. You must be sick of eating canned food, right?" Andre laughed.
"It doesn't matter what we eat. The key is to have enough portions," Xia Fei said. His current appetite was much greater than before, and he needed to eat at least six servings of food for each meal.
"Don't worry. I will ask the head chef to personally prepare food for twenty, no, thirty people."
...
Xia Fei's cabin was on the first floor below the deck. It was a separate room that wasn't big but had all the facilities.
The MSN mailbox kept flashing, showing that it had already accumulated 342 emails.
"There are so many emails. Who sent all of them?" Xia Fei muttered to himself.
Opening the mailbox, he saw a long list of invitation letters. They were all employment contracts sent to Xia Fei by various large companies.
Xia Fei smiled. His net worth had long surpassed that of these large corporations, so there was no need for him to work for them.
There were also a few congratulatory letters from the Federation government, as well as invitations for Xia Fei to work for the government. Xia Fei did not hesitate to throw these letters into the trash.
"Adjudicator Union Earth Branch." This email caught Xia Fei's attention. He hurriedly opened it, and this was what it said.
The Adjudicator Branch's Earth Branch was preparing to hold an examination on the 1st of December this year to recruit three Apprentice Adjudicators. The applicants were required to be at least at the Star Base rank, and the highest they could go was Star Domain rank. Special ability users were not restricted by rank.
Special ability users were very rare, and there was no distinction between levels. Some heaven-defying special abilities, even if they were only at the most basic level, could instantly kill a powerhouse of either the strength or speed attribute.
The Wild Rose that Xia Fei encountered previously, her mind control technique was a rather heaven-defying superpower. She could completely control a person and even control the other party.
Fortunately, Wild Rose's mind control technique was still at a very low level back then, and Xia Fei's resistance was rather tenacious. Otherwise, even if Xia Fei stabbed his leg a thousand times, it would be of no use.
If he wanted to participate in the examination, he needed to register within three days.
Xia Fei thought for a moment. "Phantom, do you know about the Adjudicator Union?"
Phantom shook his head as he came out from the Moore Stone. It seemed like he was reading a scripture.
"The Adjudicator Union's Earth Branch is recruiting three Apprentice Adjudicators. Do you think it's a bit too early for me to register now?"
Phantom shook his head repeatedly. "What kind of joke is this? Apprentice Adjudicators need to be at least at the Star Domain rank. You are only at the basic Star Base rank, and they won't accept you even if you register."
Phantom shook his head repeatedly. What kind of joke is this? Trainee Adjudicators require a cultivation of at least the Star Domain rank. You are only at the primary Star Base rank. Even if you register, they won't accept you.
Phantom shook his head repeatedly. "Are you joking? Apprentice Adjudicators need to be at least at the Star Domain rank. You are only at the basic Star Base rank, and they won't accept you even if you register."
"Really? Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and register. "Phantom said very excitedly.
"These are Apprentice Adjudicators, not official."
Phantom was a bit angry. "Don't look down on Apprentice Adjudicators. Do you know what the recruitment rate for Apprentice Adjudicators is?"
Xia Fei shook his head.
"10,000 to 1! There will only be one Apprentice Adjudicator out of every 10,000 applicants! "
Xia Fei's eyes were filled with disbelief. "If becoming an Apprentice Adjudicator is so difficult, then wouldn't it be even more difficult to become an official Adjudicator?"
"Not only do Adjudicators enjoy many incredible privileges, but they also have the best and most complete cultivation system in the universe. They also have a huge amount of resources that the outside world can't even imagine."
"The benefits that the Adjudicator Union provides its members are truly too powerful. Just take the medicine that you need for cultivation as an example. When your rank is a bit higher, you will need to use super medicine to stimulate your body. You won't be able to buy those super medicines even if you want to, but you can easily exchange them within the Adjudicator Union."
"The Adjudicator Union controls 20% of the super civilization ruins in the universe. If you have the opportunity to enter these ruins for a trial and obtain one or two items, then you will be rich!"
"Don't think that you are just an Apprentice Adjudicator. Apprentice Adjudicators can also enjoy the cultivation and trading services provided by the Union. With your current cultivation speed, you will need at least a year to reach the Star Domain rank, and you will also need to spend a lot of money."
"If you join the Adjudicator Union and use those insane cultivation grounds and those precious medicinal ingredients, you will be able to advance another rank in less than half a year."
Phantom said a lot of the benefits of being an Adjudicator in one breath and finally concluded, "Only a fool wouldn't want to become an Adjudicator."
After Xia Fei heard Phantom's words, he sent a reply as requested. A few seconds later, the other party sent a confirmation email. "Hello, your information has been accepted by the system. Please head to the designated location on December 1st, 2019 in the Earth calendar to participate in the trial. An email will be sent to your mailbox after the trial location is confirmed. Please check it."
Dinner was held in Andre's room.
A round table was filled with all sorts of delicacies. Xia Fei ate to his heart's content and even drank two glasses of decent red wine.
Putting down the knife, Xia Fei wiped his mouth with a napkin and lit up a cigarette. "Have the chefs on this ship been vetted? If there are people from the Black Snake Gang among them, they will only need a small bottle of poison to kill all of us."
Andre was drinking a glass of water, and he nearly spat it out when he heard Xia Fei's words. "Xia Fei, aren't you being overly cautious? These chefs have been working in my manor for at least five years and can definitely be trusted."
"Every single person on this ship has gone through a strict vetting process. Even if there are any suspicious points, they will not be hired to board the Storm Goddess."
Xia Fei puffed out a ring of smoke. "We in China have an old saying: 'Caution is the parent of safety'. There is no harm in being more cautious in everything."
Wu Long couldn't help but nod. "I feel that what Xia Fei said makes sense. Those bastards from the Black Snake Gang aren't that easy to deal with."
Xia Fei went silent for a moment before he stood up and paced back and forth in the cabin. "Andre, the reason why we are able to meet and get to know each other is because the Black Snake Gang wants that Golden Stinger. Let's make a hypothesis. If the Black Snake Gang isn't interested in the Golden Stinger but the ruins of Atlantis, what would they do?"
"If I were them, I would follow the Storm Goddess and wait for me to find Atlantis before suddenly killing them." Andre said, "But look at this vast ocean, there are no other ships other than us. The crew of this ship are all fine, too. I still feel that you are overthinking."
Xia Fei remained silent. "Could it be that I'm really being overly cautious?"
Andre stood up, walked in front of the bookcase, and pressed a hidden button on the bookcase.
A moment later, the bookshelf separated to the left and right, revealing a hidden safe.
Andre twisted the passcode and took out a key with a chain from his pocket. He then said mysteriously, "Let me show you another item from Atlantis."
Xia Fei and Wu Long came to the safe with great interest. They saw Andre carefully taking out a square item that was wrapped in layers of white muslin.
Andre placed the item on the table and unwrapped it layer by layer. There was a golden square plate inside.
The golden plate was forty centimeters in length and width and was extremely heavy.
There was a circular circle in the middle of the golden plate with densely packed lines around it. There were two rows of unknown words engraved on the two corners.
Right at this moment, the AI translation microchip in Xia Fei's brain suddenly operated at high speed!
A moment later, Xia Fei said, "Whenever the Moon Goddess smiles, the shattered door will be opened. The path to the Hidden Realm will require the guidance of the War God of Massacre."
Andre turned pale with fright and had an expression of disbelief!
