Harpoon? Spear!

A sharp glint flashed in Xiao Yang's eyes as he looked at the virtual image before him.

The items in the daily shop could all be previewed, so he could see what they did.

Xiao Yang had used the preview function before.

After a preview, a virtual image of the item would appear before him.

Looking at the Harpoon, Xiao Yang bought it without hesitation.

It was only a hundred thousand Copper Coins. He could earn that back in a day.

But this Harpoon... no, this spear, was good stuff!

The items in the game were excellent in their own right.

Xiao Yang had once taken an iron pickaxe out of the game.

Even when he struck with all his strength, the spear he had bought for tens of millions could not leave the slightest mark on the pickaxe.

The same went for the other items.

His spear could not leave so much as a scratch on even the most ordinary farm tools in the game.

Yet Xiao Yang's iron pickaxe could easily pierce his combat suit!

There was a small hole near the cuff of his combat pants, in a spot covered by his boot.

The pickaxe had left it with the lightest touch!

That alone showed how formidable the game's farm tools were.

Xiao Yang had often lamented that none of those tools suited him.

Otherwise, he could have used them as weapons!

Of course, in a pinch, Xiao Yang could still do that.

Once he had learned the Force-Exertion Secret Art and practiced it enough, any weapon would do.

That went double for Psychic Power.

Xiao Yang always kept his sickle ready.

He had not used it during the fight with the White Elephant Martial Warrior Team mainly because it would have been hard to explain.

After all, he had not even brought a backpack. How could he have hidden a sickle on his person?

This Harpoon... spear was perfect for Xiao Yang!

Xiao Yang took the barbed spear straight out of his storage.

The blade was rather short, but it was sharp enough!

Looking at the spearhead, he reckoned it could pierce even a King-level Monster!

The spear's weight and length also felt right in his hands.

It felt excellent to grip!

Xiao Yang made up his mind. Until he left for the universe, this spear would be his main weapon!

He took the "spear" and swept it through a few flourishes.

After getting used to its feel, Xiao Yang put it back in his storage.

It would not be convenient to take it out just yet.

He could do that the next time he went to the Wilderness Area alone.

After leaving the game, Xiao Yang returned to reality and began training.

The night passed quickly.

After eating some Level-1 Rice, Xiao Yang continued training and familiarizing himself with his new spear.

The other team members did not begin waking up until noon.

After lunch, everyone gathered in the living room to discuss how to divide the spoils.

They had already agreed on the general plan back in the Wilderness Area.

Now they only needed to settle the details.

"Any objections to this split?"

Once they had finished dividing everything, Zhang Yi looked around at the others.

"If not, I'll call Old Sun over."

Old Sun was an acquisitions manager at the HR Alliance whom the Mad Wolf Squad knew well.

He had always offered them good prices.

Everyone voiced their agreement.

"No problem. Let's do it this way."

"We've struck it rich this time, thanks to Xiao Yang!"

Their faces were full of delight.

After all, each of them was getting several times what they had earned on their last hunt.

Xiao Yang spoke up.

"Captain, set my share aside for me. I'm going to sell it to the martial arts school to raise my contribution level."

"As for the two Lord-level Monsters, let's sell those together."

Xiao Yang's share of the monster materials, combined with the materials from the White Elephant Martial Warrior Team, should be enough to raise his contribution level at the martial arts school to three stars.

As for the Lord-level Monster materials, selling them to the HR Alliance would bring the best price, and they would not count toward rank certification.

Xiao Yang did not have the strength of a God of War yet.

After becoming a Martial Warrior, combat rank was certified based on one's record.

Selling materials from two Elementary Lords would earn a Primary God of War rating.

The same rule applied at other ranks: sell materials from two monsters of the corresponding level.

But when someone first became a God of War, a representative would come to verify it.

That was because every God of War on Earth would be invited to join the God of War Palace.

It offered many benefits exclusive to Gods of War.

"Sure, no problem. I'll set your share aside."

Prices for monster materials were fairly transparent.

That made it easy to calculate their value.

Before long, a thin middle-aged man arrived at the villa where Xiao Yang and the others were staying, accompanied by an assistant and some equipment.

"Captain Zhang, thanks for bringing me your business again."

The middle-aged man smiled when he came in and saw Zhang Yi.

"Just remember to give us a good price, Old Sun."

"We brought back a big haul this time. You'll make a nice commission too."

Old Sun knew Zhang Yi well enough to know what he was like.

His curiosity was immediately piqued by those words.

"Good stuff? Then I'd better take a proper look."

Zhang Yi wasted no time and led Old Sun to the villa's secure room.

When he opened the door, several enormous backpacks, filled to bursting, came into view.

"You really brought back a lot this time!"

"So many backpacks!"

"You haven't been stockpiling for a while, have you?"

Zhang Yi said nothing. He first led Old Sun to a pile of equipment.

"We found this equipment in a monster nest while we were out."

"Take a look and tell me what it's worth."

Old Sun gave Zhang Yi a knowing look.

"This all belonged to the White Elephant Martial Warrior Team. It's worth quite a bit!"

"But it's secondhand, and some of it's damaged."

"Let's round the lot off at 1.3 billion."

Zhang Yi shot Xiao Yang a glance.

Only after Xiao Yang nodded did he speak.

"Fine. We'll take that price."

"You know the rules."

"I know. I'm buying these anonymously. I don't know where they came from."

Some monsters did collect human equipment.

To avoid disputes, Martial Warriors who found such equipment and brought it back to sell usually did so anonymously.

Or they simply took it to another Base City to sell.

Next, Zhang Yi handed the Beast Warlord materials to Old Sun.

Old Sun and his assistant kept testing the materials with their instruments.

"Materials from an Advanced Beast Warlord Howling Moon Wolf King. Good stuff!"

"Scales from an Advanced Warlord Earth Serpent? Not bad!"

Old Sun could generally tell what level of monster a material came from at a glance.

Of course, it still needed to be tested.

Soon, they had checked all the Beast Warlord materials.

"Well, well. You really did bring back a huge haul. There's over two billion worth of materials here!"

"You didn't actually save these up over several trips, did you?"

Zhang Yi did not answer. He merely smiled mysteriously.

"We're not done yet."

"The real surprise is still to come!"
