Supply Base

On July 31st, at dusk, by the entrance of the Warrior Supply Base.

An off-road pickup truck entered the supply base with the last rays of sunlight.

As Qin Mu got out of the car, many people at the supply base recognized him.

"Holy crap! This kid's actually back? Didn't they say he was dead? And he's just a pre-warrior who stayed alone in the Wilderness Zone for a whole eleven days!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

"He's not dead! Look at his backpack, it seems to be filled with monster materials."

Someone was full of curiosity.

"Uh, do you guys know that the Blood Wolf Squad set up a betting pool in the camp, betting he wouldn't come back?"

Others lamented with crestfallen faces.

"Of course we know! I bet a lot of money on it..."

Carrying a backpack full of monster materials and listening to the surrounding warriors' discussions, Qin Mu's face showed a smile.

When he left the supply base, it had caused quite a stir. Most people in the entire supply base had heard about him.

However, the vast majority of them had just treated him as someone who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, and as a joke.

But now, everyone was shocked.

How could they know that Qin Mu's trip out this time could be considered a complete transformation.

When he left, he was just a mere pre-warrior, but now he had directly leaped to become a high-level warrior and a mid-level general-class Mental Master!

"Hey, I heard the Blood Wolf Squad just returned to the supply base too, and they seemed to have suffered quite a loss in the wilderness!"

"I wonder if Qin Mu will clash with the Blood Wolf Squad."

Without paying attention to these onlookers who were just looking for entertainment, Qin Mu walked directly towards the area where the HR Alliance's representative was located within the supply base.

As he walked, Qin Mu activated the communication watch on his wrist.

Qin Mu had turned off the communication watch after entering the wilderness.

This was because Qin Mu knew that this thing actually had a backdoor, and as long as someone had the authority, they could track the wearer's location.

Qin Mu wanted to hatch the Hive Mother, so he naturally didn't want anyone to know where he had been.

However, now that he was going to sell monster materials and had returned to the base, he naturally had to turn it on.

The reason he went directly to the HR Alliance to sell monster materials was because the HR Alliance generally offered the highest prices!

Of course, selling to the HR Alliance was purely for money. If he sold to the Limit Martial Arts School, he could earn contribution points, provided he was a member of the Limit Martial Arts School.

Selling to the military or the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School was similar; both could accumulate contribution points and the like, just with different names.

Since Qin Mu had not yet joined any warrior forces, selling to the HR Alliance was the most cost-effective.

"Come on, let's follow him and see what monsters Qin Mu hunted!"

Some busybodies followed behind, full of curiosity.

"What's there to see? It's nothing more than some low-level beast soldier monster materials. What level of monsters can a pre-warrior kill?"

Although some people said this, quite a few still followed.

The life of a warrior was actually quite monotonous; it was either fighting monsters or training desperately. This supply base hadn't been this lively in a long time.

Who doesn't like to watch a spectacle? Especially a spectacle that is rarely seen in many years.

"Low-level beast soldier level?"

Qin Mu chuckled inwardly as he heard this.

His backpack contained materials from two beast general-level monsters, as well as dozens of horns from high-level beast soldier-level Unicorn Wild Boars, which Qin Mu had used as consumables.

Qin Mu had no intention of hiding his strength, so he didn't care if others knew what materials he bought.

He wasn't Luo Feng. In the upcoming Warrior Practical Combat Assessment, Qin Mu would fully display his talent to strive for the best treatment!

The Warrior Supply Base was not large, and soon Qin Mu arrived at his destination.

"Hello, sir, are you here to sell monster materials?"

A young girl with a sweet voice, attractive appearance, and wearing the HR Alliance's professional attire quickly stepped forward to receive him.

"Mm."

Qin Mu replied, opened his backpack, and placed it on a platform. Nearby, specialized personnel would estimate the value of the monsters hunted by warriors.

A staff member walked over to the backpack and took out the materials one by one.

"Is this a Unicorn Wild Boar's horn? Judging by its size and color, it's at least from a high-level beast soldier-level Unicorn Wild Boar!"

A keen-eyed warrior who was watching the excitement from the side spoke before the HR Alliance staff could even begin their appraisal.

"There's more than one! Good heavens, they're all high-level beast soldier-level horns – thirty of them!"

A commotion erupted from the crowd. These were just some high-level beast soldier-level materials, which were not much for many people present.

But one had to consider that this was hunted by a pre-warrior alone in the Wilderness Zone!

The value in this is completely different.

When the staff took out tendons from a Two-tailed Tiger Cat's tail from their backpack, the crowd that was discussing things was stunned.

"Holy crap! What is that? Am I seeing things? Those are tendons from a Two-tailed Tiger Cat's tail? That's a monster at the Junior Beast General level!"

"Is that a monster a Pre-warrior can kill? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Someone else must have hunted it!"

When the staff brought out all the materials from two Beast General level monsters, everyone looked on in disbelief.

"Mr. Qin, among the monster materials you collected, these are the horns from Advanced Beast Soldier level Unicorn Wild Boars. At the current price, we can give you 8,000 each, totaling 240,000."

"The materials from this Two-tailed Tiger Cat are somewhat severely damaged, so we can offer 11 million. For the materials from this Junior Beast General level Tiger Hound, we can offer 10 million."

"A grand total of 21.24 million!"

The HR Alliance staff quickly finished their appraisal and gave their offer.

"No problem, please transfer the money to this account!"

Qin Mu gave the staff member his account number.

"Alright."

Seeing the transaction completed, the crowd erupted into a loud commotion.

"They really are Beast General level monsters! Two of them? Even a squad of Warriors led by a General wouldn't earn this much when venturing into the wilderness!"

Everyone was shocked.

"Brother? Did you really hunt these monsters yourself?"

A middle-aged strong man in the crowd couldn't help but ask.

Hearing the question, everyone stared at Qin Mu curiously, waiting for his answer.

"Heh, what do you think?"

Qin Mu chuckled, not answering directly.

Seeing the balance change notification on his Communication Watch, Qin Mu was in a great mood.

Although they didn't get a direct answer, Qin Mu's expression made it easy to guess the truth, even if the truth was a bit hard to accept.

"Brother Qin Mu!"

A bald, one-eyed strong man suddenly walked out of the crowd and called out to Qin Mu.

"Brother Qin Mu, I'm Zhao Yong, the captain of the Blood Wolf Squad. Previously, a member of our squad was disrespectful and made a bet regarding you. I was in seclusion cultivating at the time and didn't know about it. By the time I found out, many people had already placed their bets, and you had already entered the wilderness, so it was difficult for me to handle it."

The bald strong man said with an apologetic expression, transferring money to Qin Mu via his Communication Watch.

"Brother Qin Mu, this is 1 million. You initially bet 10,000 yuan that you could survive in the wilderness for five days, with odds of 1:5. So, this is 50,000 for you. The rest is our Blood Wolf Squad's apology gift. We hope you don't mind."

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow, surprised to learn this person was the captain of the Blood Wolf Squad.

Qin Mu didn't refuse and accepted the money.

"It's fine, I didn't suffer any losses."

Being polite to someone who was being polite, Qin Mu didn't dwell on the matter.

To be honest, Qin Mu had been a little angry about it at first, but since the other party had apologized like this, Qin Mu just let it go with a laugh.

As for the truth of the matter, whether it was his team member being disrespectful or them finding an excuse to save face after seeing Qin Mu's exceptional strength, it didn't matter.

They had already backed down and didn't want to make an enemy. Qin Mu wasn't the type of person to kill someone's entire family over a minor disagreement.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be heading off!"

Qin Mu waved goodbye to the crowd and left gallantly.

He still had to rush back to Jiangnan Base City, and then to Yangzhou City, to participate in the Warrior Practical Combat Assessment tomorrow.

What Qin Mu didn't know was that as soon as he turned to leave, countless people were contacting their families and superiors to investigate his identity.

It was unbelievable that a Pre-warrior who hadn't even participated in the practical combat assessment could hunt Beast General level monsters. What kind of genius was this?

Of course, even if Qin Mu knew, he wouldn't care. In fact, this was precisely the message he wanted to convey to the outside world.
