The next day, everyone slept in before waking up to have a meal.
"Captain, how should we handle these monster materials?" Zhao Yong asked.
After all, this time they had not only the materials from ten ordinary commander-level monsters but also those from two special ones.
"Let's wait until we enter the base city to sell the Hunter materials; we'll sell them to the merchants at the HR Alliance, as they offer better prices.
As for the other soldier-level and commander-level materials, we can sell them right here. The soldier-level materials aren't worth much; the real value lies in the commander-level ones. I estimate those two special monsters alone could fetch a price close to that of a lord-level monster," Chen Fan said, offering his opinion.
"A lord-level monster? That's an astronomical price! We've hit the jackpot this time," Zhao Yong said with a laugh.
A lord-level monster was a beast that only a War God-level fighter would have a chance to hunt. A single lord-level monster could easily wipe out ten Hunting Gun Squads, so one could imagine how high the price of its materials would be.
Chen Fan made a phone call, and shortly after, a knock sounded at the villa door.
The person who entered was an officer from the military district responsible for purchasing monster materials, accompanied by a staff member carrying equipment to inspect the goods.
For a military district with fighter supply stations, purchasing monster materials was a lucrative business, so the military naturally had personnel dedicated to it.
"Brother Chen, what good stuff do you have this time? You haven't taken care of my business in a long time," the officer in charge of purchasing said, extending his right hand with a smile.
Chen Fan shook hands with the officer repeatedly and said, "It's not that I haven't been looking out for you; it's just that we were reorganizing our team and haven't been to this Wilderness Zone in a while. But don't worry, although there isn't a huge quantity of items this time, it's definitely a big deal."
"Oh? If Brother Chen says so, then I'm relieved," the officer said with a smile. "Hello, my name is Li He."
Seeing two people he had never met before, Li He went over to greet them.
Thud, thud. Monster materials were poured onto the floor as several large bags were emptied. Of course, the bags containing the materials from the two special monsters remained in Chen Fan's room.
"Well, you really had quite a harvest this time," Li He said with a smile. After all, for him, the bigger the business, the better; not only could he build connections, but he could also earn a handsome commission.
The person with the equipment got to work, using the instruments to check the value of each type of monster material.
Li He quickly called two more people over to help, while he stayed to chat and build rapport with the members of the Hunting Gun Squad.
"There are ten commander-level monster materials in total: four are mid-level commanders and six are low-level," one of the staff reported to Li He after the three of them finished their inspection.
"There are also 110 soldier-level materials, worth a total of 680,000, averaging a little over 6,000 each.
The commander-level monster materials are worth about 100 million, averaging 10 million per head."
"Haha, Brother Chen, that's a total of 100.68 million. If you have no objections, I'll transfer the money to you now." Li He was secretly shocked; there were actually ten commander-level monsters. His face was wreathed in smiles, his eyes nearly squinting into slits—he couldn't have been happier.
"Alright, go ahead and transfer it," Chen Fan said. Shortly after, he took out his phone and saw the notification: "Received."
"Since Brother Chen has received it, we won't disturb you any further," Li He said with a smile. The other three packed up the monster materials into the bags they had brought and left the villa.
Watching the four men leave, Chen Fan invited everyone to sit down and discuss how to split the money.
Chen Fan held the quote provided by Li He and said, "For the low-level commander Blue-Blooded Deer, Zhao Yong and I were the main force, so we'll take 35% each, and the others will get 10% each. Any objections?"
The rule of the Hunting Gun Squad was that no matter how much effort one contributed, every teammate had to get a share of the spoils.
Everyone nodded, well aware of the rules for splitting the money.
"That means 2.1 million each for me and Zhao Yong, and 600,000 for everyone else.
The low-level commander Grey Wolf and Tusked Wild Boar have a combined quote of 10 million. Since we picked those up easily, let's split them equally—2 million each. Any objections?"
"No objections, Captain."
"For the Three-Tailed Cat Demon, the quote is 18 million. Yang Hui's shot was critical, but we also charged in to grab the materials from the pile of monsters. Let's take 40%—7.2 million—for that. The four of us will take 15% each, which is 2.7 million each.
The same split applies to the mid-level commander Blue-Blooded Deer: 40% to Yang Hui for 4 million, and 1.5 million for each of us."
With Chen Fan's explanation, the money for the ten commander-level monsters was finally divided.
The money from the soldier-level monsters was split equally among the four; Chen Fan, being the wealthiest in the squad, decided to forgo his share of that portion.
Out of the total harvest of just over 100 million, Chen Fan received 31 million, Li Hui received 30.17 million, Zhao Yong received 29.17 million, and Sett and Luo Feng each received 15.17 million.
"If no one has any objections, I'll transfer the money."
As everyone nodded, Chen Fan swiped his finger across his screen, distributing the funds to the other four.
After finishing the transfer, Chen Fan said with a smile, "We still have the two high-value monster materials left. Let's sell those once we return to the base city."
The Hunting Gun Squad boarded the train back to the base city. "The train is about to enter the station, please..." the conductor's voice echoed through the carriage, followed by a loud hiss as the doors opened.
Everyone returned to the bustling base city.
"So many people!" Luo Feng couldn't help but exclaim after stepping out of the train station.
"Haha, brothers, thank your weapons for letting us return to the base city alive!" Zhao Yong said with a laugh.
Although they had only been in the Wilderness Zone for about ten days, the pervasive decay of the wilderness, the ruined state of the cities, and the monsters lurking everywhere meant they had to be cautious at every step.
"The base city is humanity's last hope. We fighters have great power, but we also have the resolve to stand up for human society. We are the final line of defense!" Chen Fan couldn't help but say.
After a moment of reflection, the group took a private car to the HR mall. On the way, everyone called their families to let them know they would be home that evening.
The group followed a special passage to enter the HR Alliance.
"What are you looking at, Luo Feng?" Sett asked, teasing him as he saw Luo Feng's eyes scanning the surroundings.
The other four erupted into laughter.
"Luo Feng, your little girlfriend managed to become a manager at such a young age. I think her family has some background, so you'd better be careful," Chen Fan couldn't help but remind him.
"Mm," Luo Feng replied. Sett had already told him about Xu Xin's background earlier.
The five of them didn't linger, heading straight into the elevator to go upstairs and arriving at a private room.
In the massive room, an old man was already waiting. Seeing Chen Fan and the others enter, he hurried over to greet them.
"What kind of goods do you have this time? Hurry up and take them out so I can feast my eyes," the old man couldn't help but get straight to the point.
"Lao Huang, I'll let you feast your eyes right now. I reckon it's not often you get to see two such good items at once, heh heh," Chen Fan said with a laugh, then took off the backpack he was carrying.
After opening it, he took the items out one by one.
The wolf pelt, riddled with several holes, was spread out on the floor by Chen Fan, followed by the White-Haired Tiger King's pelt, and finally, two teeth, each a full half-meter long, were placed at the head.
"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder you dared to say that. These two pelts are truly something. Especially this White-Haired Tiger King; the integrity is very high, haha." Seeing such high-quality goods, Lao Huang was overjoyed and hurriedly brought over a pile of instruments to conduct an inspection.
Before long, having finished the inspection, Lao Huang spoke up: "These materials, one comes from a Hunter-level Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, and the other is a White-Haired Tiger King, also a Hunter-level beast."
"Then give us a quote," Chen Fan said with a smile.
"The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf pelt doesn't have high integrity, so I'll offer 500 million. For the White-Haired Tiger teeth, I'll offer 800 million. That makes 1.3 billion in total. How does that sound?" Lao Huang said, stroking his beard.
"Lao Huang, do you take us for fools? 2 billion, take it or leave it." Chen Fan knew the value of these two monsters was far more than 1.3 billion.
"Hiss, 1.5 billion is my limit," Lao Huang gasped.
After a round of back-and-forth haggling, the two finally completed the transaction at a price of 1.7 billion.
"The money has arrived," Chen Fan said, looking at his phone.
1.7 billion, split equally among the five, meant each person received 340 million—a real windfall.
After splitting the money, the group went to have a big meal together, drinking until late at night before finally heading home.
Jin Wenying and Xia Hai, knowing he was coming home today, waited for Sett until late at night.
Finally, when the alcohol-reeking Sett arrived, they hurriedly pulled him into the room to check if he was injured before finally settling down to sleep.
"Phew, finally home." Collapsing onto the bed, Sett didn't even bother to take off his clothes before falling straight asleep.
The next day, it was nearly noon before Jin Wenying woke him up.
After lunch, Sett continued practicing the Heavenly God Fist in the training room.
Suddenly, a voice filled with magic echoed out.
"Hello, Sett."
