Hello, Sett

The next day, everyone slept in, got up, and had breakfast.

"Captain, what should we do with these monster materials?" Zhao Yong asked.

After all, this time they had materials from not only ten ordinary Beast General-level monsters, but also two unusual ones.

"Let's wait until we get back to the Base City to sell the Hunter's materials. We'll sell them to a merchant from the HR Alliance; they'll offer a better price.

"As for the other Beast Soldier and Beast General materials, we can sell those here. Beast Soldier materials aren't worth much. The Beast General-level materials are where the money is. I estimate those two monsters could fetch nearly as much as Lord-level Monsters," Chen Fan said, giving his opinion.

"Lord-level Monsters are worth a fortune! We've really hit the jackpot this time," Zhao Yong said with a grin.

Lord-level Monsters were the sort of prey only War God-level Martial Artists had a chance of hunting. A single Lord-level Monster could easily crush ten hunting squads, so it was easy to imagine how much its materials would sell for.

Chen Fan made a call. Not long after, a knock sounded at the villa's front door.

The visitors were officers from the military district responsible for buying monster materials. One of them carried an instrument and was in charge of inspecting the materials.

Buying monster materials was a lucrative business for military districts that could supply Martial Artists, so naturally the Military had people handling the purchases.

"Brother Chen, what good stuff have you got this time? It's been ages since you've done business with me." The officer in charge of buying the materials stepped inside and extended his right hand with a smile.

Chen Fan shook his hand warmly. "It's not that I didn't want to do business with you. We reorganized the team earlier, so we haven't been to the Wilderness Zone in a long time. But don't worry. We may not have a lot of good stuff this time, but it's definitely a big deal."

"Oh? If you say so, Brother Chen, I'm sure it is." The officer smiled. "Hello, my name is Li He."

Noticing two people he'd never met before, Li He hurried over to greet them.

Thump, thump—the monster materials kept falling to the ground as several large packs were emptied. Of course, the backpacks holding the materials from the two unusual monsters were in Chen Fan's room.

"Wow, you really made a haul this time," Li He said with a grin. The bigger the deal, the better for him: he could build connections and earn a handsome commission.

The man carrying the instrument got to work, checking the value of each type of monster material.

Li He quickly called two more people over to help, while he chatted with the Hunting Gun Squad to build rapport.

"There are materials from ten Beast General-level Monsters. Four are intermediate-level, and six are junior-level," one of the men reported to Li He after the three of them finished their inspection.

"There are also materials from 110 Beast Soldier-level Monsters, worth 680,000 in total—just over 6,000 per monster on average.

"The Beast General-level materials are worth about 100 million, averaging around 10 million each."

"Haha, Brother Chen, that comes to 100.68 million. If you have no objections, I'll transfer the money right away." Li He was secretly astonished that they had materials from ten Beast General-level Monsters. His face was wreathed in smiles, his eyes nearly squeezed shut with joy.

"Sure, go ahead and transfer it." Not long after Chen Fan finished speaking, he pulled out his phone and saw that a hundred million had arrived. "Got it."

"Great. Since the money's in your account, we won't keep you." Li He smiled. The other three men packed up the monster materials and left the villa.

After Li He and the others had gone, Chen Fan invited everyone to sit down and discuss how to split the money.

Holding the quote Li He had given him, Chen Fan said, "For the junior-level Beast General Blue-Blooded Deer, Zhao Yong and I were the main contributors, so we'll each get 35 percent. Everyone else gets 10 percent. Any objections?"

The Hunting Gun Squad's rule was that no matter how much work someone did, every teammate still got a share.

Everyone nodded. They knew how the money was divided.

"That means Zhao Yong and I get 2.1 million each, and everyone else gets 600,000.

"The junior-level Beast General Gray Wolf and Tusked Wild Boar were valued at 10 million in total. Since we just got lucky and picked them up, we'll split that evenly: 2 million each. Any objections?"

"None, Captain."

"The Three-Tailed Cat Demon was valued at 18 million. Yang Hui's shot was crucial, but we also charged in and snatched the materials from the monster horde. We'll take 40 percent, or 7.2 million. The four of us will each get 15 percent, or 2.7 million.

"We'll split the intermediate-level Blue-Blooded Deer the same way. Yang Hui gets 40 percent, or 4 million, and each of us gets 1.5 million."

By the time Chen Fan finished, they had divided the money from all ten Beast General-level Monsters.

They split the money from the Beast Soldier-level Monsters among the four of them. Chen Fan was the richest person on the team, so he didn't bother taking a share of that small amount.

Their haul was a little over 100 million. Chen Fan took 31 million, Li Hui got 30.17 million, Zhao Yong got 29.17 million, and Sett and Luo Feng each received 15.17 million.

"If no one has any objections, I'll transfer the money."

Everyone nodded, and Chen Fan swiped his finger across his phone to send the money to the other four.

After dividing the money, Chen Fan smiled. "We still have those two insanely valuable monsters' materials to sell. Let's wait until we get back to the Base City."

The hunting squad boarded the train back to the Base City. "The train is about to arrive at the station. Please..." The conductor's voice rang through the carriage. With a whoosh, the doors opened.

They had returned to the bustling Base City.

"So many people!" Luo Feng exclaimed as he stepped out of the station.

"Haha, brothers, thank the weapons in our hands for bringing us back to the Base City alive!" Zhao Yong said with a laugh.

They had only spent about ten days in the Wilderness Zone, but everywhere they looked, they saw decay. The cities were long past saving, monsters had taken over in great numbers, and they had to be cautious no matter what they did.

"The Base City is humanity's last hope. We Martial Artists have a lot of power, but we also have a duty to stand up for human society. We're its last line of defense!" Chen Fan said, moved by the thought.

After taking a moment to reflect, they boarded a private car bound for the HR Mall. On the way, everyone called their families to let them know they'd be home that evening.

They followed a special passage into the HR Alliance.

"What are you looking at, Luo Feng?" Sett teased when he noticed Luo Feng's eyes darting around.

The other four joined in, laughing and joking.

"Luo Feng, your girlfriend's so young, yet she's already a manager. I think her family has some connections. You should be careful," Chen Fan reminded him.

"Mm," Luo Feng replied. Sett had already told him about Xu Xin's background.

The five of them didn't stop. They went straight to the elevator and headed upstairs to a private room.

An old man was waiting in the spacious room. When he saw Chen Fan and the others come in, he hurried over to greet them.

"What have you got this time? Hurry up and show me!" The old man couldn't help getting straight to the point.

"Lao Huang, I'll give you a look at it. You probably don't get to see two treasures like these at once very often, hehe." Chen Fan smiled, then took off the backpack he was carrying.

He opened it and took out the items one by one.

Chen Fan spread a wolf pelt riddled with holes on the floor, then laid the White-Haired Tiger King's pelt beside it. Near the head, he placed two teeth that were half a meter long.

"Tsk, tsk. No wonder you were so confident. These two pelts are incredible. Especially the White-Haired Tiger King's—the pelt is in excellent condition. Haha!" Lao Huang was delighted by the treasures. He quickly brought over a pile of instruments and started inspecting them.

Before long, Lao Huang finished his inspection and spoke up. "One of these sets of materials came from the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, a Hunter and Advanced Beast General. The other came from the White-Haired Tiger King, also an Advanced Beast General-level Hunter."

"Then name your price," Chen Fan said with a smile.

"The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's pelt isn't in great condition, so I'll offer 500 million for it. I'll offer 800 million for the White-Haired Tiger King's fangs. That's 1.3 billion in total. What do you think?" Lao Huang said, stroking his beard.

"Lao Huang, do you think we don't know what these are worth? Two billion, take it or leave it." Chen Fan knew the two monsters' materials were worth far more than 1.3 billion.

"Whew, 1.5 billion is my limit," Lao Huang said, drawing a sharp breath.

After a lengthy back-and-forth, they finally settled on 1.7 billion.

"The money's in," Chen Fan said, checking his phone.

They split the 1.7 billion evenly among the five of them, giving each person 340 million. They'd made a fortune.

After dividing the money, they went out for a huge feast and drank until late at night before finally heading home.

Jin Wenying and Xia Hai had heard that Sett was coming home that day, so they waited up for him until late at night.

When Sett finally came home reeking of alcohol, they quickly pulled him inside to check him over for injuries. Only then did they get ready for bed.

"Whew, I'm finally home." Sett collapsed onto the bed, too tired even to take off his clothes, and fell asleep.

It was nearly noon the next day when Jin Wenying woke him.

After lunch, Sett continued training the Heavenly God Fist in the training room.

Suddenly, a voice filled with irresistible charm rang out.

"Hello, Sett."
