Day One
There was not even a sliver of light in the dark room. Li Mo sat on a chair, facing the empty wall with a silent expression, like an idiot suffering from hysteria.
"Forgive me for being blunt, but your son's body is fine, and all his functions are normal. It's just that his mental state is terrible. I've tested his brain, and though his body is motionless and his eyes are lifeless, his brain is fluctuating violently.
"What's strange is that these nervous commands are all hidden deep in his mind, unable to be vented. It's like a flood. You won't be able to stop it just by blocking it. You still need an opening to release all the accumulated anger in your son's heart."
A bespectacled old doctor said sternly through a transparent glass door.
Li Guan was slightly surprised. "Doctor Lu, why is Mo in such a situation? I remember that humans usually have the ability to regulate themselves. If they can't vent their pent-up anger, they'll use it in other ways. "
The doctor with the surname Lu shook his head. "That's usually the case. It's like a man getting scolded by his boss and venting it to his wife when he gets home. It's also a form of release.
"But this method is not equal. It's impossible to release all the anger in one's heart. After a long time, it will gradually accumulate. This is the case for your son. In addition, a lot of emotions have been aroused recently and he has no way to vent them. Moreover, he has a cowardly character, so he has chosen to seal up his dissatisfaction completely."
Li Guan nodded. As a father, he was well aware of his son's personality. He was as weak as a woman. As for why Li Mo was suddenly under so much pressure recently, the reason was none other than Xia Fei. The Golden Finger Cup, Avrils, and the humiliation he suffered the day before should all be credited to Xia Fei for why Li Mo had turned into an idiot.
Gritting his teeth, Li Guan repeated Xia Fei's name several times in his mind.
"Doctor Lu, you're the chief psychiatrist in the Alliance. You must think of a way to save my son's life!" Li Guan pleaded.
Doctor Lu frowned and sighed. "There's a way, but …"
"But what?"
"But it might completely change your son's personality! I have a few forbidden drugs in the Alliance, Demonic Frenzy Powder. Using this drug can completely break through a human's inherent mental defenses, turning them into primitive humans. As long as they have emotions, they must vent them and reject all inhibitions. "
"In this way, you can draw out all the anger that your son has accumulated for a long time, but it will also make him willful and crazy. He will laugh when he is happy, and when he is wronged, he will return it double. He will become stubborn and will never admit defeat."
"It would be fine if he was a normal citizen, but your Li family is one of the largest merchant families in the Alliance. If your son becomes like this, he won't be able to run a business or participate in negotiations. After all, he won't be able to hide his thoughts, and it's impossible for him to scheme against others."
"What's more frightening is that the Demonic Madness Powder has a very high chance of turning a person into a madman, a madman who disregards everything! The killing intent in his chest increased explosively! At its worst, it could even turn a person into a murderous demon king! That's how it got its name. "
Li Guan hesitated. He paced back and forth in the corridor, his gaze lingering on his son for a long time.
* Pa! *
Li Guan slapped his thigh and said, "Doctor Lu, please use the Demonic Frenzy Powder on my son. I, Li Guan, will bear all the consequences!"
Doctor Lu was shocked. "Are you sure you want to do this? Though Li Mo is introverted and a little cowardly, he is an obedient son. If the Demonic Frenzy Powder takes effect, you might lose a filial son and gain an incomparably crazy, even savage son! "
Li Guan nodded stubbornly, his eyes gleaming coldly. "I'd rather it be like this. The Li family has never had a coward. It's like this now, and it will always be like this in the future!"
…
Xia Fei was facing 144 meteor balls, and they were all meteor balls that had been enhanced in terms of speed and intelligence.
The difficulty of capturing all of these incomparably cunning meteors was simply unimaginable!
Another sunrise was approaching, and Xia Fei was leaning against the hillside in exhaustion, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth.
"Though the elementary meteor ball training is difficult, it's extremely beneficial to your agility. I've been watching you improve bit by bit over the past day and night. Crafty Approach is known as the limit of human agility, but after just two days of meteor ball training, you've managed to raise your Crafty Approach to the next level. I believe that if you keep at it for a long time, you'll definitely be able to obtain an unparalleled agility technique," Phantom said with a serious expression.
Xia Fei nodded. "I'll keep at it. Though speed is good, agility is also very important."
Returning to the hotel, Xia Fei saw that Bean and the others had already packed up and were heading out, looking valiant and excited.
"Brother Xia Fei, you're finally back! We went looking for you early in the morning, but we couldn't find you anywhere," the honest Hammer came over and said.
Xia Fei smiled. "I went out for a walk. Where are you guys going?"
"We're going to the trade fair, of course. Who among us doesn't want to find something fun to do there? Today's the official opening day of the carnival, so hurry up and change your clothes. Let's go take a look together," the short Bean excitedly said.
Xia Fei frowned. "The trade fair? Aren't we standing at the venue of the trade fair? "
The bespectacled Mosquito very seriously shook his head. "Not at all. This is the venue of the carnival, and the real transactions will only take place on the Thirteen Pearl Islands. The carnival is meant to be a gathering and celebration. The trade fair is independent of the residential area, and it's open at a fixed time every day. Be it auctions, marked prices, or private transactions, they'll all be done there."
Before he could finish, the sly Monkey directly slapped him on the back of the head. "Look at how you speak in such a genteel manner. You're really embarrassing us brothers!"
Xia Fei was speechless. He did not know which was more embarrassing, the bookish Mosquito or the scoundrel Monkey.
"Brother Xia Fei, the Thousand Islands Planet has a total of 1111 islands. Thirteen of them form a circle, much like a string of pearls, which is why they're called the Thirteen Pearl Islands. All the transactions will take place there."
Xia Fei nodded. He had been so focused on training his meteor ball these past two days that he had forgotten to ask about the rules of the trade fair.
Mosquito clutched his head and pitifully muttered to himself, "Isn't that the same as what I said?"
Xia Fei followed the twenty or so princes of the Adjudicator Union as they swaggered out of the hotel. They hired a high-speed sightseeing boat from the docks and headed straight for the Thirteen Pearl Islands.
Along the way, there were quite a few passenger planes flying overhead, all heading for the trade fair. There were also many luxury liners on the sea, and the number of people was clearly much higher than two days ago.
The jet-powered yacht was extremely fast, reaching speeds of over eight hundred kilometers per hour. It took them less than twenty minutes to reach the Thirteen Pearl Islands.
From afar, these islands were much more majestic than Sparrow Island, where Xia Fei lived. The terrain was also relatively flat, and it would not be a problem for an island to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Furthermore, there were more buildings on the islands, making them far more suitable for the trade fair than those small sightseeing islands.
After getting off the boat, Xia Fei followed the crowd and prepared to clear the customs.
The security in the trade fair was obviously several levels higher than that of other places. There were security guards dressed in ancient Brotherhood uniforms everywhere, and there was a guard every two meters or so. Entry was also required to register with a pass.
It could be assumed that the trade fair had gathered a large number of rare treasures from all over the place, so it was only natural that the security would be tighter.
Xia Fei went ashore after verifying his identity and found an excuse to part ways with Bean and the others. This group of nouveau riches was obviously here to take a look, and they were more interested in watching the show than finding the treasures they needed. Mixing around with them was bound to be troublesome, so Xia Fei decided to act alone.
There were stalls on both sides of the road, and it was easy to tell who they belonged to from their badges. It was just that there were very few items that caught Xia Fei's eye. He already had top-tier items like Celestial Moon and Butterfly Serpent in his spatial ring, so Xia Fei had no interest in the average items.
There was a building in the distance, and there were diagrams and items displayed on it. Xia Fei took a look and saw that it was an exhibition hall set up by a company called Extreme Martial Arts, which was specifically used to display the weapons and equipment produced by the company.
"There should be some good stuff in a large exhibition hall like this, right?" Xia Fei muttered to himself as he walked in.
Less than five minutes later, Xia Fei walked out disappointedly. It turned out that most of the items sold were thermal weapons, and they were portable. To a high-level ability user like Xia Fei, unless they were weapons of mass destruction, they would not pose any threat at all. These needle-like weapons were more suitable for frail women to protect themselves.
Xia Fei was disappointed after going through several exhibition halls. The trade fair was huge, and there were a lot of people, but the items on display were too common. Could there be some trick to it?
Xia Fei could not figure it out, so he decided to take a look at the other islands. There were a total of thirteen islands that were used for trade, so perhaps the other islands would be better.
He chose a small, unfrequented path, and Xia Fei looked at the stalls on both sides of the road as he made his way to the docks.
Xia Fei discovered that the stalls on both sides of the road were not completely devoid of good stuff; it was just that they were of varying quality. In fact, these stalls were even more interesting than those in the exhibition hall. At the very least, the items were quite novel and had everything.
Phantom kept explaining things to Xia Fei along the way. His judgment was far better than Xia Fei's, so he took on the role of a commentator and trade consultant.
A gust of wind blew across the sea, blowing a golden vase placed on one of the stalls to the ground. The vase rolled all the way to Xia Fei's feet as the old man chased after it.
Xia Fei tapped the tip of his foot and fixed the vase in place. All of a sudden, a transparent bracelet fell out of the vase due to inertia.
