"Ding! Loot harvested: 1,158 Ten Thousand Spirit Coins*1, Lowest Alloy Weapon*6, Low Alloy-Grade Weapon*14, Elementary Alloy Weapon*3, Rock-Melting Ice*3, Thunder Ghost Ganoderma*5..."
Less than ten seconds after Su Xiaobai issued the order to counterattack, a sudden string of system prompts rang through his mind.
Then, a pile of loot clattered down out of thin air, landing right where Su Xiaobai had designated.
"What the hell? Loot?!"
Su Xiaobai was startled.
But he quickly caught on.
Not only could Shadow harvest materials and treasures from killing Fierce Beasts, but killing people directly plundered all their belongings!
A massive haul of Spirit Coins, weapons, medicines, rare treasures, supplies...
From the loot list alone, it was clear that the ones who ambushed Shadow weren't just one person—it was a wilderness Warrior team, sizable in number, and definitely not weak!
"Eleven million... damn, now I finally get why those wilderness Warrior teams love killing and robbing... This money-making speed is even faster than farming Fierce Beast materials!"
Su Xiaobai sighed in amazement.
He had only thought to let Shadow counterattack casually, just to prevent it from being taken down and entering cooldown, which would mean zero profit for the day.
Who would've guessed that Shadow not only counterattacked but outright slaughtered an entire Warrior team, then delivered all their belongings as loot to him?
This feeling of pies falling from the sky and money lying on the ground was just too satisfying!
No wonder wilderness Warrior teams fought so chaotically.
Kill the enemy, get all their loot... This deal was way more profitable than any other money-making method!
"Eleven million Spirit Coins, I'm rich!"
"System, upgrade Automated Monster Hunting, now!"
Su Xiaobai shouted impatiently.
With this windfall, if he didn't make full use of it, how could he face those Warriors who had "delivered supplies" to him?
This time, without the system even prompting, Su Xiaobai immediately ordered it to upgrade the Automated Monster Hunting function.
"Upgrade complete!"
The system prompt came through, and in the Automated Monster Hunting space, a new Shadow appeared.
"Auto Dispatch!"
Without waiting for the system's tedious back-and-forth, Su Xiaobai said directly.
"Auto Dispatch successful!"
The Shadow vanished from its spot, teleported by the system to the designated hunting location.
Ah, satisfying~
Su Xiaobai felt a wave of relief.
Three Shadows, triple the profit!
And maybe some clueless Warrior would take a swing at a Shadow—just one counterattack, and another massive wave of loot would come rolling in... Just thinking about it was thrilling!
"Now that the Shadows have switched hunting maps, my weekly income should at least double or triple, plus the extra one—that's like quadrupling my earnings!"
"At this rate, in a week, wouldn't I be raking in nearly twenty million Spirit Coins?"
Su Xiaobai did a quick calculation and could already see piles of golden treasure waiting for him!
"Ding! Dear host, the system has detected that all three of your current system functions have reached Level 1. The system has prepared a new function for you—One-Click Alchemy!"
"For just 10,000, you can activate the One-Click Alchemy space!"
The system's sales pitch chimed in again.
"One-Click Alchemy?!"
Su Xiaobai froze, then his eyes widened. "System, when you say One-Click Alchemy, do you mean the kind that makes Alchemy Creation Pills, Marrow Cleansing Pills, Spirit Enhancement Pills, Bone Growth Pills... that kind of alchemy?"
Alchemy, in this era, was a talent even rarer than being a Warrior!
Due to the limitations of spiritual energy, modern biopharmaceutical technology couldn't hold a candle to pills!
Some pills could cleanse and refine meridians, allowing Warriors to undergo transformation.
Some could regenerate flesh and bone, healing even the gravest wounds in no time.
Some could rapidly restore stamina, enabling sustained combat against Fierce Beasts...
The value of pills in this Warrior-dominated world was beyond imagination!
They were an essential necessity for every Warrior!
And the only ones who could produce pills were an extremely rare group—Alchemists!
To become an Alchemist, one needed alchemical talent... the so-called Attribute Affinity.
Su Xiaobai wasn't too clear on that himself.
It was just some indescribable, intangible thing that could resonate with Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth... Once you had that special qualification, you had a shot at becoming an Alchemist!
Because this special talent is exceedingly rare, the number of alchemists is also very small.
The mere existence of any alchemist is enough to draw the attention of major families!
Moreover, alchemists are different from warriors.
Warriors are judged by their realm and rank—the stronger, the more impressive. There's no doubt about that.
But an alchemist, even if he is only a Senior Quasi-Warrior, ordinary people would not dare to provoke him lightly... because you never know what terrifying force might stand behind such a Senior Quasi-Warrior!
Su Xiaobai had never dealt with pills before.
He didn't need to leave the base to hunt Fierce Beasts.
Nor did he need any cultivation resources to raise his realm.
But that didn't change one thing—pills made money!
Even a common Trauma Relief Pill started at ten thousand Spirit Coins.
A slightly better Spirit Enhancement Pill would cost at least fifty thousand.
As for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, which could wash the marrow and refine the sinews, its value was even more staggering!
Most importantly, some pills, even if you had the money, you might not be able to buy them!
Thus, every alchemist was like a walking money tree... who wouldn't want to hold onto one?
"Yes, Host, this is it!"
"The One-Click Alchemy space can refine pills for you around the clock without requiring your personal operation. You only need to input materials in the correct proportions and select the alchemy formula, then you can easily wait for the pills to be finished!"
