From his tone, it seemed like he knew that they had more than one fish in their hands. Having a different idea, Lonemoon nodded with a smile and said, “That’s negotiable!” With that, he swung his hand and instantly a fish as big as a tabletop appeared on the grassland by the side. “Is this the type of fish monster you are seeking?”

The eyes of the four brightened at once as they all stared fixedly at the fish on the ground and nodded fervently. “That’s right, that’s it, this is the Red Scented fish monster!”

“Then how much are you intending to pay to buy it?” Lonemoon smiled very kindly, looking at the expressions, he did not expect that an ingredient that Chef randomly found was so valuable.

The tall man stepped forward in delight while bringing out his money purse as he said, “The Red Scented Fish Monster used to be sold for 10 thousand void currency in Yang City, I… I…” He looked at his own purse and said carefully, “I have 23 thousand void currency now, would that be enough?” With that said, he directly handed the purse over.

Lonemoon took a look, was one fish already so expensive? He was considering whether to get Chef to stock up more and did not make any reply.

And the tall man grew restless, thinking that he was finding the money too little, he turned back anxiously towards the three others. “If you find it too little, we still have more here!” While speaking, the three all pulled out their money, roughly counted it and handed it over. “Here’s a total of 40 thousand void currency, is that enough? If it’s not, we’ll make up for it after the competition, we’ll sign a debt slip, we will definitely pay you the money.”

The others also nodded, their gazes towards him were filled with some begging.

Lonemoon faltered, this was his first time meeting people who automatically increased the price on their own accord during a negotiation. What kind of new tyrant-style bargaining was this?

“You are overstating things, my friends.” He replied with a small smile. “Since we have agreed to sell it, we naturally won’t go back on our word. But I don’t know why you are so anxious to get this fish monster.”

Once his words fell, a slightly desolate expressions appeared on all four of their faces together. He replied a moment later. “It’s like this, one of our very good friends sustained some injuries a while back and isn’t recovering even after a long period of treatment. Rumors say that the fish bone of the Red Scented Fish Monster can heal severed meridians and rebuild muscles, that’s why we wanted to get one.”

“I see.” Turns out it was to save someone.

“To be honest with you, we have already been searching for several months in Yang City, unfortunately we did not find anyone selling such fish monsters.” He explained in a low voice, while his gaze shifted to the fish on the floor again. “This Red Scented Fish Monster comes with an exotic fragrance and always live in groups by the thousands. Without dozens of people, it would be impossible to capture them, so even businessmen who specialize in hunting monsters do not easily attempt to do so. That is why the supply does not meet the demand.” Though he did not know how they managed to hunt so many with just four of them, they were already very surprised and delighted to be able to buy one.

“I see.” Lonemoon nodded, no wonder they found the dishes that Chef made today especially aromatic, turns out it’s because of the ingredients. They were so sure that they had other fish monsters earlier, probably because they had smelled the scent and knew that they had encountered the entire group of fish. With a sudden thought, he asked, “You only need the bones of this fish?”

The four faltered but still nodded. “Yes.”

“Hold on!” He stood and turned to walk towards Chef’s temporary stove, after searching around, he bent down and pulled out a rack of bone several meters long back with him. “This fish bone is bigger than that fish, why don’t I sell this fish bone to you?”

The four of them fell into a momentary daze before their expressions became those of overjoy.

“Su… Such a huge fish bone, could it be… the Red Scented Fish King!”

“Definitely, such a big one, it must be the Fish King! Besides, judging by the color of this bone, it is at least 500 years old and older.”

“My god! A 500 year old Fish King had yet to appear in Yang City.”

“Brother Wen Xuan can be cured now, he will definitely recover.”

The few of them became increasingly agitated as they spoke, their eyes brightening.
