Chapter 2471 Soul-Devouring Jellyfishes! Void Fishing Rod! Gu Luo's Luck! (1)
Among the 136 human territorial domains, the Gu Hong Territorial Domain could rank among the top three.
What kind of concept was this?
This meant that within the entire human territorial domains, the Gu Hong Territorial Domain was practically one of the most elite existences.
Even more terrifying was the fact that the entire Gu Hong Territorial Domain was under the control of the Gu Hong Empire. In other words, the Gu Hong Empire was the true ruler.
It was like a high and mighty divine kingdom, towering over everything else.
No wonder Wang Teng was so astonished.
It wasn't because he lacked experience. Rather, anyone facing such a behemoth would likely react the same way.
Even an eternal-stage ruler was no exception.
"I didn't expect you to have such a background," Wang Teng glanced at Gu Luo beside him and remarked.
"I'm just an ordinary person from the Gu Hong Territorial Domain, nothing worth mentioning," Gu Luo chuckled.
As Wang Teng looked at the dignified young man before him, he could only think one thing…
I don't buy it!
"Wang Teng, this person's surname is Gu. Maybe he's a member of the Gu Hong Empire," Rollie reminded him.
"I figured," Wang Teng thought to himself.
Even so, Gu Luo's specific identity was hard to discern.
The surname Gu was one of the largest surnames in the Gu Hong Empire. However, the Gu Hong Empire was somewhat unique. Their royal family had two surnames: Gu and Hong. Both shared power within the Gu Hong Empire.
With such a lineage that had spanned countless ages, it was easy to imagine the multitude of descendants. Over generations, many royal descendants might have strayed far from the Gu Hong Empire's power center.
Only those with truly exceptional talent would receive attention.
Yet, Wang Teng couldn't quite see through Gu Luo, which left him feeling somewhat doubtful.
Of course, Gu Luo's identity was not simple.
If he were just an overlooked member of the royal family, how could he possibly possess treasures to conceal his aura, let alone have something like the Void Fishing Rod that Wang Teng himself didn't even possess?
Wang Teng now knew that this fishing rod was called the Void Fishing Rod, a tool specifically designed for fishing in the chaotic currents of the void. The material used to make it was extremely special, something an ordinary person couldn't simply purchase.
Money alone wasn't enough. One needed a special purchasing channel.
And the two Void Fishing Rods that Gulo produced were even better than Sikong The Second's. If classified according to the level of weapons, according to Wang Teng's estimation, these Void Fishing Rods should reach the peak of the universe level, which inevitably sparked curiosity about Gu Luo's identity.
"What delicacies does the Gu Hong Territorial Domain have?" Wang Teng didn't dwell on his thoughts, instead shifting the topic to something more casual.
"You're asking the right person. I happen to be quite knowledgeable about cuisine," Gu Luo's eyes lit up as he enthusiastically began to share, "Let me tell you, the Gu Hong Territorial Domain has an abundance of delicacies that you wouldn't even dare to imagine… there's this…"
Originally just a casual inquiry, Wang Teng hadn't expected to hit Gu Luo's soft spot. The fellow instantly transformed into a chatterbox, unable to stop once he started.
The upside was that Wang Teng did learn quite a bit about the delicacies of the Gu Hong Territorial Domain. The downside was that his ears suffered the torturous consequences of Gu Luo's non-stop rambling.
Just then, whether it was due to Gu Luo's presence bringing luck or not, Wang Teng unexpectedly discovered two consecutive vortexes, collecting numerous attribute bubbles.
Time*30
Time*50
Space*1200
Space*1000
Time*70
Space*1500
…
"These two vortexes are even more ferocious than the one before," Wang Teng's eyes flashed, judging the terrifying nature of the vortexes by the abundance of attribute values.
The more ferocious the vortex, the more attribute bubbles would appear, containing a greater number of attribute values.
Fortunately, the warship had already veered away from this direction in advance. Otherwise, Wang Teng would have been unable to refrain from reminding the helmsman of the ship.
Seeing Wang Teng's strange expression, Gu Luo's eyes flickered slightly. However intelligent he might be, he couldn't fathom that Wang Teng was collecting attribute bubbles.
"You seem confident," Gu Luo probed.
"The chaotic currents of the void are full of danger, and the warship is constantly moving. Whether we can catch anything depends entirely on fate. How could I possibly be confident?" Wang Teng understood what he meant, but merely smiled faintly.
"How many times have you gone fishing?" Gu Luo smiled and asked.
"Before this, just once," Wang Teng replied.
"Only once?!" Gulo was slightly surprised and said, "From your actions just now, I thought you were an experienced fisherman."
"I wish I were. Unfortunately, I don't have a fishing rod, so I can only borrow someone else's," Wang Teng chuckled.
"Hahaha, it's rare to encounter a fellow enthusiast of fishing. How about this: if you win against me, I'll give you this fishing rod," Gu Luo said.
"Oh?" Wang Teng glanced at him and asked, "What if I lose?"
"If… you lose?" Gu Luo rubbed his chin, seeming to have never considered this question.
This left Wang Teng a bit speechless. Was this guy just going to give him the fishing rod for free?
For some reason, he suddenly felt a hint of a rich man's aura.
This darn rich person.
Technically, he wasn't lacking in money either, but compared to the other party, he felt inexplicably inferior.
"I've got it," Gu Luo completely disregarded Wang Teng's expression, seemingly having thought of something. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he abruptly punched his palm, saying, "If you lose, you'll give me a grandmaster-level pill you've refined at this exchange summit. How about that?"
