Stephen and Sonic Butterfly King continued to talk as they registered. Even Kings like them had to follow the rules of the Thousand Treasures.
The Thousand Treasures rarely fought with other races, but their power was in the top ten. Some people thought they might even be in the top five.
Stephen and Sonic Butterfly King prepared to leave, but they saw a man and a woman enter the base with a little girl. They frowned.
They didn't recognize Han Sen, but they could feel the presence of the Jade Drum on Huangfu Jing. They frowned and stared at her.
Because they were going to register, there was no point in hiding it. So, Han Sen didn't ask Huangfu Jing to hide the presence of the Jade Drum.
As for the Thousand Treasures, they were not going to help hide the news of the Jade Drum. They were more than happy to tell everyone that someone had found the Jade Drum on Planet Jade Drum. It would only be good for their business.
Because they had already registered themselves, there was no need to hide their identities. Every time a Jade Drum was found, the Thousand Treasures would spread the news. That was why Han Sen had brought Huangfu Jing to the base to register.
Sonic Butterfly King and Stephen watched Han Sen and Huangfu Jing walk up to the counter. They looked at the bag on Huangfu Jing's waist. They could feel the presence of the Jade Drum, but they weren't sure.
When Huangfu Jing took the Jade Drum out of the bag, the two Kings froze.
"Jade Drum! A Jade Drum!" The other Nobles in the base saw the Jade Drum in Huangfu Jing's hands, and some of them screamed.
"There hasn't been a Jade Drum in a year, right?"
"Look at her presence. She is a Marquise at most. I can't believe she is so lucky to have found a legendary Jade Drum."
"Haha! It's hard to say whether this is luck or misfortune. A Marquise getting a Jade Drum might not be a good thing."
All the Nobles were talking amongst themselves. The workers in the base were shocked to see the Jade Drum, but they still registered Huangfu Jing as usual.
The Thousand Treasures were very trustworthy when it came to business. They had sold deified treasures before, and they had never been involved in any scandals. They wouldn't do anything for a piece of jade.
Following the normal procedure, Huangfu Jing handed in her ticket and struck the jade drum. After the registration, the jade drum truly belonged to Huangfu Jing.
"Friend, are you selling your Jade Drum?" Stephen couldn't help but walk in front of Huangfu Jing.
"Sorry, I don't plan on selling it yet," Huangfu Jing said.
She was only an Earl, so she had a Duke Jade Drum to use. She would be much safer out there, and she'd be much more efficient at killing xenogeneics. Huangfu Jing didn't plan on selling it.
Of course, the prerequisite was that no King level expert had any designs on her.
Stephen frowned, but he didn't give up. He said, "Don't reject me yet. I am Stephen of the Gana. You can name a price, and I won't bargain."
"Sorry." Huangfu Jing didn't move, and she rejected him again.
Stephen's face looked glum. Sonic Butterfly King walked up to her and said, "Little Friend, keeping your Jade Drum is not easy. I can give you a Duke class Eight Sonic Butterfly in exchange. I can also guarantee you a safe place. What do you think?"
"Sorry," Huangfu Jing said coldly.
"If you don't sell it now, you'll regret it once you leave Planet Jade Drum. It will be too late for you to sell it then." Sonic Butterfly King's face didn't change. He smiled.
Huangfu Jing didn't pay any more attention to him. She silently retreated to the side.
Sonic Butterfly King wanted to get closer to Huangfu Jing to say something, but Han Sen stopped him. "My friend said she isn't selling it. You should look elsewhere."
Sonic Butterfly King looked cold. "Who do you think you are? How dare you interrupt my conversation with her?"
Han Sen shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything. He walked up to the counter and brought out his white Jade Drum.
"Another Jade Drum!"
The base was in an uproar. No one expected to see two Jade Drums on the same day.
Sonic Butterfly King was shocked. He didn't expect Han Sen to have a white Jade Drum, too.
The worker was surprised, but he quickly registered the White Jade Drum for Han Sen. The White Jade Drum now belonged to Han Sen.
"Are you selling your Jade Drum?
My promise to her still stands. "Sonic Butterfly King looked at Han Sen as he spoke.
Han Sen ignored Sonic Butterfly King. Stephen said, "Friend, if you are willing to sell your Jade Drum, I am willing to pay a high price for it. I can also guarantee your safety. You can name a price."
"Sorry, but I don't plan on selling it yet." Han Sen rejected Stephen's offer.
Sonic Butterfly King's face looked glum, but before he could say anything, his eyes opened wide. Han Sen had brought out another Jade Drum.
Furthermore, this jade drum looked a little strange. There were many blood-colored patterns on the drum. It looked a little different from ordinary jade drums.
"Jade Drum … Another Jade Drum … How is that possible?"
"Holy sh * t! They seem to be together. They have obtained three Jade Drums. Did they discover a Jade Drum mine?"
"This luck is heaven-defying. He actually got three Jade Drums in a row."
"There seems to be something wrong with that Jade Drum. It looks different from a normal Jade Drum. Could it be a mutant Jade Drum?"
"Now that you mention it, it is possible. Ordinary Jade Drums don't look like that, and I have never seen any other Drum Clan members look like that. Perhaps it really is a mutant Jade Drum."
"If it really is a mutant Jade Drum, then it is worth a lot of money. Ordinary Jade Drums can reach King class, but a mutant Jade Drum might be able to reach that level."
"This is great luck, but it is also a disaster. It looks like their levels aren't very high, but they have obtained three Jade Drums. It will be hard for them not to die."
"This is not luck. This is a disaster."
…
While everyone was talking, Stephen and Sonic Butterfly King stared at the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum greedily. They didn't even blink. The mutant Jade Drum was a rare item that only appeared once every ten thousand years. It might be able to break through to King class, so even Kings treated it like a treasure.
"I am sorry, Mister. According to the rules of the Thousand Treasures, each creature can only take one Jade Drum. You have already registered a Jade Drum," the worker said to Han Sen.
"I know. This Jade Drum is not mine. It is my daughter's." Han Sen pointed at Bao 'er and gave her the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum.
"Then, please ask her to strike the Jade Drum." The worker looked at Bao 'er and the Jade Drum in disbelief.
"Must we strike the Jade Drum here?" Han Sen asked the worker.
"Yes, that is the rule." The worker nodded with certainty.
