Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 302 The Ferocious Dragon of the Endless Ocean! Saint-level Flesh and Blood Now Available for Sale!
One day later.

The front pages of major maritime newspapers and intelligence ships, along with the latest intelligence, were remarkably consistent:
"The most ferocious dragon of the Tenglong Sea! A humanoid beast that has slain at least three S-class sea monsters! A maritime trade fair will be held in two days, aiming to share resources and promote the steady development of sea monster research."

Unprecedented!!! The grand finale of the Universiade Trade Fair! A suspected 100-gram remains of the Saint-level sea monster "Abyss Lord"!

The King-class drifting ship [Fire Seed] is determined to obtain the remains of the Abyss Lord!

Interview with a researcher at the [Lighthouse] Sanctuary Research Institute: A sensationalist, the remnant of the Abyss Lord? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Shi Ming sat in the captain's cabin of the Dayun, looking at the electronic versions of various newspapers and magazines that the crew had compiled.

Immediately after confirming the sale of some rare sea beast flesh in exchange for the final 5000+ Pure Crystals, he released his initial plan through various channels.

Today, he is a partner of the King-class drifting ship [Dayu];

Another honorary knight of the King-class drifting ship [Twelve Stars];

Even Black Gold, far away in Africa, owed him a favor because of the transaction involving the Essence of Purification.

Unbeknownst to him, his power had become completely different from what it used to be.

Theoretically, without Pure Dome Crystals, one could sell the Abyss Lord's flesh and blood directly to any King-class drifting ship, and they would likely offer a reasonable high price. However, Shi Ming knew that the management system of King-class drifting ships was extremely complicated. A one-on-one transaction that came to him, without prior approval of special funds, such as the dedicated funds for 6000 Pure Dome Crystals, could easily require at least five days of "approval process"! It might even take longer!

They need samples, analysis, discussion, decision-making, approval, and payment!
That's how the acquisition process for that divine revelation stone tablet was conducted!
He can't afford to delay.

In contrast, auction transactions are conducted face-to-face, one-to-many, and the "procurement fund" is readily available. Payment can be made using reserve funds without additional approval. It's a cash-on-delivery transaction, which, although laborious, allows you to receive payment as soon as possible.

Shi Ming understands very well which groups his clients belong to:

King-class drifting ship!
They are very familiar with their procurement process and know how to do it more efficiently.

Time is tight.

He can't wait to gather all the materials to promote Da Yun to King!

"Captain, the organization department of Dayu has sent a message expressing their willingness to sponsor the maritime trade fair, including but not limited to venue, insurance, publicity, and organization."

What do they need?

"Nothing is needed."

"...Free things are the most expensive. Tell their organizing department that the Grand Canal is willing to accept sponsorship and provide a small amount of Abyss Lord's flesh and blood in return. They are very familiar with the procedures of the Maritime Trade Fair. Entrusting professional matters to professionals can save us a lot of trouble."

"Okay, Captain."

Holding a trade fair in the Tenglong Sea was an idea that Shi Ming had decided on long ago.

The European Seas are too far away and not very convenient, while selling the flesh and blood of the Abyss Lord in the African Seas is even more impractical. That would be tantamount to slapping the Abyss Lord in the face and mocking him. Shi Ming did not want his potential benefactor to be lost at the hands of the enraged Abyss Lord.

Shi Ming has also confirmed the items to be sold at the trade fair.

The blood of Xuanwu will not participate... There is not much left, and Shi Ming still has a certain emotional connection with this sea beast that unintentionally gave him "angel round investment". He is unwilling to disturb it anymore. After all, it has lost the Xuanwu Shield and is in a deadly situation. Let it recover quietly in its slumber.

The flesh and blood of the Deep Sea Titan and the Twilight Whale are plentiful.

The same applies to the Moonlight Ripple Beast.

And then comes the grand finale!

100 grams of the Abyss Lord's flesh and blood were divided into five portions.

Each serving contains only 20 grams and is priced at 2000 Pure Crystals!

Shi Ming claimed that he found the 100 grams of Abyss Lord's flesh and blood by chance in the Boiling Sea. This reason was rather brief and weak, but Shi Ming didn't care whether others believed it or not.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some members of the royal ship are skeptical. A Holy Temple-level flesh and blood? Back then, the Lighthouse only obtained a part of the remains, which drove the scientists of the endless ocean crazy. You, a mere captain of a drifting ship, are you really that lucky?
Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter.

The moment the Abyss Lord's flesh and blood were laid out, it was enough to silence all doubts.

If you don't buy it, plenty of others will. Besides that, there are other items that Shi Ming obtained during his adventures that are neither useful to keep nor worth discarding. They will serve as a backdrop, contributing their last bit of light and heat. Of course, he carefully excludes the items from the Yellowstone.

The trade fair is scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

The lighthouse will definitely come.

……

"Sacred-level flesh and blood? The Abyss Lord? What are the chances?"

Trindon looked at the doctor who was demanding funds.

He understood perfectly well that the Holy Temple Research Institute was severely lacking in research samples, but he still harbored doubts about Shi Ming obtaining the flesh and blood of the Abyss Lord. Those were not S-class sea beasts, but Holy Temple sea beasts that were nowhere to be found in the entire Endless Ocean! Each one was terrifying beyond compare!
Currently, only one sleeping Great Black Dragon has come into the world's view, and its resources are firmly blocked by them.

"70% probability."

An indescribable light shone from the doctor's triangular eyes.

"Seventy percent? How was that determined?"

"Sir, do you remember the dead Shadow and the Two-Dimensional Girl? The remains found in the Sea of ​​Yellow Sands prove that they died from terrifying Sanctuary-level power! And this was confirmed by the testimony of the only survivor, Tatasta. Shi Ming could not possibly possess Sanctuary-level power. It is very likely that the battle between the four of them attracted the attention of the Abyss Lord, and after the battle, Shi Ming was lucky enough to obtain the Abyss Lord's remains."

Trinden nodded.

It's somewhat convincing.

He had indeed seen the death reports of several people, but he was so busy with work that he hadn't thought of that at the time.

Shi Ming's price list has been made public.

S-class sea monster flesh samples: Only 10 kilograms are provided, priced at 100 Pure Crystals per kilogram, with an average price of 0.1 Pure Crystals per gram of flesh. This is consistent with the price that Ptolemy sold the Feathered Serpent of the Underworld on the Pharaoh ship at that time. After all, these do not have the function of awakening, but only the function of scientific research, so the price is neither high nor low.

Saint-level sea beast flesh sample: Only 100 grams are available, and each 20 grams costs 2000 Pure Crystals! On average, 1 gram of flesh costs 100 Pure Crystals, which is 1000 times more expensive than S-grade flesh!
In one word, expensive!

But there's a reason why it's expensive.

"This Shi Ming really dares to ask for an exorbitant price. The bounty we offered him was only 2000 Pure Crystals! He dares to ask for such a high price for 20 grams of flesh and blood. The Holy Temple Research Institute has been consuming far too many Pure Crystals recently, and this funding will be the last large budget."

"Yes, sir, its reward is priceless."

……

……

……

Great fortune.

"Captain, all six King-class drifting ships have expressed interest in booking and are willing to pay a tenth of the deposit, but we only have five. Should we redistribute the weights, or perhaps use an auction system?"

Shi Ming shook his head.

Bidding?

The client is a King-class driftboat; bidding against them would be too mercenary and disrespectful.

It's perfectly reasonable to sell five portions of flesh and blood to five royal ships. If there's one left, just tell them it's sold out; that's perfectly normal too.

What? You mean targeting?

It's been like this for so many years, so where is it being targeted?
