Leave Once You've Made Money, Really Stupid

"The Frost Moon Troupe?"

Luo Jun looked puzzled.

Ling Yi suddenly realized, "Oh right, you haven't been in the Savage Wilderness for long, so you might not have heard of it..."

"The Frost Moon Troupe is the strongest clan among the Wildlands Hunter groups. Currently, there are only eight Champion-level hunters among the registered Wildlands Hunter, and five of them have joined the Frost Moon Troupe."

That's amazing? Doesn't that mean they're overwhelmingly dominating other teams?

Luo Jun was shocked, but he didn't show it on his face. "Before I came to the Savage Wilderness, I had only heard of the Ling Family's Clan Troops. How does the Frost Moon Troupe compare to the Clan Troops?"

Ling Yi was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "The Ling Family family has more than one Clan Troops, each led by a genius who has entered the clan. But I can say this: apart from the Ace Squad One led by Ling Yao, none of the other Clan Troops can compare to the Frost Moon Troupe."

Ling Yao's name was legendary; the Number One Under Ascension realm, the strongest hunter in the Savage Wilderness. Luo Jun had heard Ling Yao's name so many times during his stay on Lingyun Island that he was practically sick of it...

Luo Jun nodded. "Then there's even less need for a nobody like me to make up the numbers."

"Thank you for your trust, Manager Ling." Luo Jun stood up. "I'll just stick to making a living quietly."

"Is the intelligence fee I just mentioned collected at the reception desk on the first floor?"

Ling Yi was slightly taken aback by the firm refusal, but maintaining his professional demeanor, he smiled and said, "Of course, you and Huai An downstairs; he will arrange your reward..."

"Also, the Special Extermination Team will take place in the last few days of the mission. If you change your mind during these days, you can come find me anytime!"

Huai An was the one with the mustache. After Luo Jun followed him downstairs, he received a reward of 50,000 Wildlands Coin. As for the large Acid Sac, Huai An said that he would exchange it for vouchers after the evaluation was completed.

With nothing else to do, Luo Jun first went to the storage area and took out the River-Sinking Stone Hammer to test it out. Just as Ling Kai had said, when his energy exceeded the hammer's maximum capacity, the hammer was not only as light as a feather, but its weight could also be freely adjusted to find the most suitable feel.

Even more remarkably, Luo Jun discovered that under the influence of primordial energy, the River-Sinking Stone not only altered gravity but also its inertia.

This means that when the weight drops to zero, you can throw the hammer at an extremely high speed, and then, at the last second before impact, adjust the weight to its maximum... a weight of nearly two tons, attacking with the speed of Sting Sword, the power...

No wonder Ling Kai said that even if this thing wasn't forged into a treasure, it would still be Divine Weapon.

However, the hammer wasn't needed right now, and it would be inconvenient to carry it around. After testing its effectiveness, Luo Jun stored it away again, left the guild, wandered around the city, and went back to his dormitory.

That dormitory was already full, and the other three beds were also occupied by new students. Listening to their conversation, they seemed to be students like Bai Renxin, who had come to the Savage Wilderness for training.

Luo Jun simply greeted them, considered for a moment, and then went to Dong Huicheng to retrieve his spear and shield.

Now that he has money, he plans to rent an apartment and live alone.

Although Dong Huicheng said he could come and freeload anytime, Luo Jun still had to maintain his aloof persona. He had already decided that it was best not to form too close relationships with people under the identity of "Night," otherwise even the slightest habit might reveal his true identity.

Blame it on that bald old man, Deng, who invented a divine skill but can only practice it in secret... When will I be able to show my prowess in public and compete with all the geniuses in the world?

The guild staff handles the rental process. These logistics personnel wear blue uniforms, unlike the receptionists who post tasks, making them easy to distinguish.

Luo Jun chose a detached cabin near the city wall. It wasn't large, but it was secluded. It cost 500 Wildlands Coin a month, which was quite a good deal.

After settling into his accommodations, Luo Jun returned to the guild and found that the revised quests had been reissued.

The Mission Difficulty remains unchanged, still blue. However, the description of the anthill has been greatly improved. Combined with the information brought back by the hunters yesterday, it indicates that this Mission Difficulty than a typical Blue Mission. In particular, it warns against Mental Shock, and suggests that the party should ideally include Illusion Faction or bring appropriate items or treasures.

Next is the bounty for the monsters. The bounties for Worker Ant, Soldier Ant, and Flying Ant are the same as before, but a new one Violetgold War Ant, has been added. It was ultimately judged to be Hunting Level 5, and the bounty is 20,000 Wildlands Coin.

This price isn't high for a level 5 monster, but it becomes quite considerable when you factor in the double reward effect.

The bounty for the Ant Queen has disappeared; it's probably been allocated to Special Extermination Team.

Finally, as always, please note that there may be unknown risks in ant nests, so please be cautious.

Everyone is indeed very cautious. The heavy losses yesterday have already spread throughout the city. Those who still dare to participate in the mission are truly capable.

Luo Jun arrived at the reception desk, Huai An saw him from afar; the tickets were already prepared.

Also included is a blue sword-shaped badge, the symbol of Wildlands Hunter, usually awarded after completing the first mission based on the rating; blue represents Senior-level.

Luo Jun hasn't completed a single mission yet, which is clearly insufficient for leveling up. The guild's decision to issue a badge is an affirmation of his strength.

Somewhat to Luo Jun's surprise, the badge turned out to be a common-quality treasure, with only one function: to record information and data about the Wildlands Hunter.

To put it simply, it's a form of proof that combines an ID card, bank card, and task record all in one.

With its large team of Refining Masters, the Wildlands Hunter Guild could easily mass-produce these simple gadgets. Once the badges were crafted into magical artifacts, they could be stored in Hundred Treasure Box and taken out of the Savage Wilderness, serving as proof of identity in the Main World.

"This is quite convenient," Luo Jun thought, fiddling with the badge he had just received.

"Mister Ye. Ye, are you going to participate in the anthill hunt tomorrow?" Huai An asked with a smile.

"No, I'll observe for a while." Luo Jun accepted the badge, thanked him, turned and left the reception desk, heading to the quest log.

The anthill quest area had the largest crowd, but Luo Jun turned a corner and went to the white and green quest board next to it. He quickly tore off several quests and returned to the reception desk.

"Please register me, thank you."

Huai An was a little confused, wondering why such a powerful expert would take on such a small task. But out of professional ethics, he still helped him complete the formalities.

Luo Jun now has the required level and plenty of money; what he lacks most is experience in dealing with the Savage Wilderness.

For most Wildlands Hunter, having the protective aura of the Foundation Establishment Realm makes adventuring in the wild feel like wearing a fully enclosed protective suit. They don't have to worry about most environmental factors like poisonous insects, poisonous plants, or miasma; their main concern is the distribution and strength of monsters.

However, Luo Jun is different. As someone who has only reached the Body Refinement Realm, he needs to have a sufficient understanding of this place in order to survive in the Savage Wilderness.

He needs to learn and adapt gradually to know how strong the toxins his body can resist, what kind of bites his skin can withstand, what types of monsters he encounters, and how to deal with them.

After leaving the guild, he first bought a thick Monster Manual, then gathered all sorts of medicines, shouldered his spear and shield, and finally stepped out of Lingyun City.

Next, he will use his own body to experience this strange and dangerous Savage Wilderness!
