Wealth Harvester

Jackal Squad settled down in this residential complex for the time being.

Chu He was preoccupied with the Frost Shadow Deer all day, but hunting was something that always required waiting for the right opportunity.

For the past two days, the Frost Shadow Deer had remained within the shroud of that mist, never once presenting an opening.

Chu He had no choice but to follow Jackal Squad and hunt other nearby monsters first.

Early that morning.

Chu He stood on the balcony of the twelfth-floor apartment. In Northeast Base City, winter basically arrived in November.

The biting cold of the morning mist permeated the air, and as it touched his face, it made Chu He feel completely invigorated.

"It must be five or six degrees below zero today," Chu Yunpeng said with a smile as he walked over.

With a Spirit Reader like Chu He around for the past two days, the entire Jackal Squad had been making a killing, and the indifferent attitude they initially held toward Chu He had long since vanished.

However, Chu He wasn't losing out either.

The nanny-like service of an Elite War General squad wasn't something that could be bought with money, not to mention the experience they provided in the Wilderness Zone.

This kind of experience wasn't just useful for those below Planetary Level; knowledge and experience were things that would accompany one for a lifetime.

Who knew? Perhaps while exploring some ruins in the universe in the future, some of this experience might come in handy.

"It is quite cold." Chu He looked down through the balcony, pointing at the monsters searching for prey below.

"Though these monsters don't seem to mind the cold."

"We just killed over a dozen yesterday, and there are already this many again first thing this morning! Look, there are nine monsters in my field of vision, and two of them are Beast General Rank! Tsk tsk, the monsters in the urban area are definitely much denser than in the Wilderness Zone."

Hu Yonghua listened to the two chatting and leaned over to take a look, laughing:

"These are just relatively weak Beast General Rank monsters that don't have any subordinates following them! But the powerful Advanced Beast General Rank and Lord Rank monsters—those all lead thousands of subordinates!"

"If you ever run into one of those in the future, remember to run away immediately!"

After saying that, he turned back to look at the others and said, "Everyone, wake up! Let's go, we're heading down to hunt some monsters!"

"Haha, let's go, brothers, time to make some money," Chu Yunpeng couldn't help but laugh.

"Having a Spirit Reader around really makes earning money fast! This time, we've earned even more than the last two times combined!" Wei Xiaoping's eyes were shining as well.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Chu He arrived at the stairwell, swept his Spiritual Force around the corner, and then waved his hand: "It's clear. There are no monsters within twenty meters."

This was a new way of utilizing Spiritual Force that Chu He had developed over the last two days.

Monsters often lurk in corners, waiting to launch sneak attacks. "Door-opening kills" are a common occurrence.

Spiritual Force, however, is the perfect detector!

"Hanging out with a Spirit Reader really is the good life," Chu Yunpeng chuckled.

Before Chu He was around, he and the team leader had to take turns doing this kind of scouting work.

"Stay alert!" Hu Yonghua glared at Chu Yunpeng.

Chu Yunpeng immediately shut his mouth.

Chu He took the lead, with Hu Yonghua bringing up the rear.

Chu Yunpeng and Wei Xiaoping were on the flanks, while Pang Song and Yang Yi, the two firearm users, were positioned in the center of the formation.

"Hm?"

Chu He's gaze fell upon three tiger-like monsters about a hundred meters away.

Blood-patterned Saber-toothed Tigers!

The leader of the group was massive, with blood-colored patterns spreading from its head all the way down to its abdomen; only its limbs and tail remained uncovered.

Everything about it signaled its identity—a Junior Beast General!

As for the other two, their blood patterns only reached their necks; they were merely Beast Soldiers.

"That's them," Chu He whispered. "I'll take care of those three Blood-patterned Saber-toothed Tigers ahead."

"Everyone, keep a lookout on your surroundings."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Chu He charged forward first. The five people behind him naturally dispersed according to their formation, staying alert for any other Beast General-rank monsters nearby or deterring any human martial artists who might try to cause trouble.

This was the "nanny-style" service of an Elite War General Squad!

"Roar!"

The beast's roar was thunderous.

Seeing a human daring to charge toward it, the massive Blood-patterned Saber-toothed Tiger let out an angry bellow.

Its speed instantly surged to a hundred meters per second!

Given the massive size of the Blood-patterned Saber-toothed Tiger, the impact force generated by such speed...

I'm afraid even a heavy truck would be smashed to pieces in an instant.

Not to mention the three classic moves commonly used by tiger-type monsters: pouncing, swiping, and shearing.

Chu He held the Jueying Battle Blade, maintaining a steady speed of fifty to sixty meters per second.

However, his goal was not to collide head-on with this tiger.

With the physique of an Intermediate Warrior, why would he go toe-to-toe with a Junior Beast General!

Just as the Blood-patterned Saber-toothed Tiger reached a certain distance from Chu He, two blurred, ethereal flying daggers appeared in an instant!

A hazy flash of blade light flickered and vanished!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The cold blade light struck like a thunderbolt, the two frigid streaks crossing paths at the neck of the Blood-patterned Saber-toothed Tiger.

Immediately, the blade light dissipated instantly, as dreamlike as mist!

Squelch!

A brilliant flower of blood bloomed on the neck of the Blood-patterned Saber-toothed Tiger.

At the same time, Chu He shifted his charging momentum. With two seemingly casual and simple strikes of his Jueying Battle Blade, he carved out two graceful arcs, instantly slitting the throats of two other Beast Soldier Rank Blood-patterned Saber-toothed Tigers.

"Boom—"

The Beast General Rank Blood-patterned Saber-toothed Tiger, its life already extinguished, continued to sprint forward for over ten meters due to inertia before crashing heavily to the ground.

It slid several meters along the ground until it slammed into a thick tree that had been growing for decades, causing the entire tree to shudder before it finally came to a stop.

The combination of movement technique, blade technique, spiritual force, and rich experience—killing a Junior War General along with two Advanced Beast Soldiers turned out to be this easy. Chu He sighed inwardly.

Using the least amount of effort to finish off an opponent in an instant!

Indeed, actual combat is the best teacher.

"Quite a bit of progress," Hu Yonghua said, clearly very pleased.

By this time, Chu Yunpeng had already taken the initiative to dissect the monster carcasses.

"Alright, harvesting complete," Chu Yunpeng said with a smile. "Looks like today is another bountiful day."

"Let's go, onto the next one," Chu He replied with a smile.

The entire Jackal Squad was in high spirits.

Although Hu Yonghua had long known that having a Spirit Reader would greatly increase the entire team's efficiency in hunting monsters...

It wasn't until Chu He integrated into the Jackal Squad's style that Hu Yonghua realized just how fitting the Spirit Reader title of "Wealth Harvester" truly was.

This was nothing short of a money-printing machine!

No!

The speed of a money-printing machine probably couldn't even compare to the speed at which they were making money right now!

A money-printing machine?

That was thinking too small!

The vital materials of a Junior Beast General Monster generally sold for between 5 million and 15 million.

The vital materials of an Intermediate Beast General Monster generally sold for between 10 million and over 100 million.

The vital materials of an Advanced Beast General Monster generally sold for between 50 million and around 600 to 700 million.

Of course, there were occasional exceptions.

For instance, special Monsters like the Frost Shadow Deer or the Silver Moon Dire Wolf naturally commanded higher prices.

Soon, following the information he had observed from the balcony that morning, Chu He killed another Junior Beast General.

"Tsk tsk, following a Spirit Reader really makes earning money look easy," Wei Xiaoping couldn't help but exclaim.

Although the credit mainly went to Chu He and Hu Yonghua, as long as Chu He and Hu Yonghua were eating meat, the rest of them could at least have some soup.

When divided up, each of them could walk away with over 100 million!

"For a Spirit Reader, earning several billion a year is completely normal," Hu Yonghua said with a smile. "The main reason we dare to be so reckless this time is thanks to Chu He."

"Haha." The other four all grinned.

"Uncle Hu, don't say that. It's because of your help that hunting Monsters has become so much more comfortable and simple."

Chu He was speaking the honest truth.

Over these past few days, he had deeply realized that with his current level of Spiritual Force, he couldn't simultaneously keep track of all the various dangers lurking in every direction of the wilderness.

He dared to focus all his energy on searching for and hunting Monsters precisely because the other members of the squad were helping him keep watch.

With the added assistance of an expert like the Advanced War General Hu Yonghua, Chu He's efficiency was naturally this high.

Chu He and the others chatted and laughed easily, though they kept their voices low.

"Hm?"

Beside them, Yang Yi, who was holding a heavy Sniper Rifle and looking around in boredom, suddenly whispered, "Guys!"

"A Frost Shadow Deer has appeared!"

"What?"

Chu He and the others grabbed their Binoculars almost simultaneously and looked toward the south.
