81 Billion!

Zhang Yi did not keep them in suspense. He directly took the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear and Sky-Swallowing Elephant materials out of his backpack.

When Old Sun saw the two piles of materials taller than himself, his eyes immediately lit up.

"These are... Lord-level materials!"

After recognizing the grade of the materials before him, a trace of shock flashed across Old Sun's face.

"Let me see. This texture, these patterns... this is the Bloodthirsty Giant Bear's paw, right?"

"This tusk should belong to the Sky-Swallowing Elephant."

"Hmm? The Bloodthirsty Giant Bear's gallbladder was damaged?"

"Forget it. At least there is still some bile left. That's not bad."

"The surface of this Sky-Swallowing Elephant hide has quite a few wounds."

Old Sun quickly finished appraising them.

With his discerning eye, he could also tell how the materials from these two monsters had been obtained.

"Your Mad Wolf Squad was incredibly lucky to come across two Lord-level Monsters that killed each other!"

Although the truth was that Xiao Yang had launched a sneak attack while the two were severely injured.

He had concealed the evidence somewhat while cutting up the materials afterward.

Thus, the two monsters looked more like they had perished together.

Zhang Yi did not explain and merely said with a smile,

"Just luck, nothing more."

"The materials from these two Lord-level Monsters are top-notch. You'd better give me a decent price."

Upon hearing that, Old Sun thought of his KPI for Lord-level materials.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and quoted a figure.

"At most, I can give you 4.5 billion. I can barely make any profit at this price."

"It's mainly to meet my performance target."

"If you go elsewhere, they might only offer you 4 billion."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask around."

A flicker of delight passed through Xiao Yang's eyes.

Everyone had estimated the value of the two Lord-level Monster materials.

Normally, they would probably fetch around 4 billion, perhaps 4.2 or 4.3 billion at most.

Being able to get 4.5 billion outright was already quite good.

Xiao Yang immediately gave Zhang Yi a meaningful look.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi agreed without hesitation.

"Alright, deal. This price it is!"

Old Sun was also beaming as he began transferring the money.

Very soon, the Mad Wolf Squad's shared account received a payment notification.

"Alright, it's in."

"Take these materials away."

Old Sun did not stand on ceremony.

He and his assistant began moving the materials into the large transport truck parked outside the villa.

Just as Old Sun finished collecting the materials and prepared to leave, Zhang Yi hurriedly stopped him.

"Wait, wait. Don't leave yet."

Old Sun was somewhat puzzled, but he still stopped.

Zhang Yi pulled Xiao Yang over from beside him.

"Xiao Yang, add Old Sun's contact information."

"His prices are all pretty good."

"If you have materials to sell in the future, just sell them directly to him."

As he spoke, he turned to Old Sun again.

"Remember to give my little brother here a good price in the future."

Upon hearing that, Old Sun could not help glancing at Xiao Yang a few more times.

"No problem. I hope Brother Xiao will bring me more business in the future. I'll definitely give you the best price."

Xiao Yang did not stand on ceremony either and directly exchanged contact information with Old Sun.

The other squad members could not help feeling a trace of regret when they saw this.

They knew that the next time Xiao Yang entered the Wilderness Area, he would probably be going alone.

After Old Sun left, Zhang Yi began distributing the money in front of everyone.

Xiao Yang's 5.8 billion was soon credited to his account as well.

Looking at the number in his account, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

Although he had expected it beforehand, Xiao Yang was still excited when he saw the figure.

Across two lifetimes, this was the first time he had ever seen so much money.

"I earned the most this time, so I'll treat everyone to a meal and thank you for taking care of me!"

Xiao Yang said directly to the squad.

Naturally, the other members of the Mad Wolf Squad had no objections.

"The money you made on your first trip to the Wilderness Area is more than I've earned in my entire life. You'd better treat us to something good."

"Time to mooch off the rich!"

"Then we have to order plenty of good food!"

Before long, everyone took the train back to Central Plains Base City.

After Xiao Yang and the others finished their meal at the HR Alliance, he returned to Luo City alone.

As for the portion of materials that had been left for him earlier, Xiao Yang sold them directly to the martial arts hall at the military camp.

The monster materials he had kept sold for 2.3 billion Huaxia Currency.

Besides that, he also received a little over one million contribution points.

His contribution level had also reached three stars.

Because there were quite a few Advanced Beast Warlord materials among them.

Xiao Yang's Martial Warrior rank had also reached Advanced Warlord.

Before long, the train arrived in Luo City.

Dressed in casual clothes, Xiao Yang quickly returned to Clearwind Residential Community.

He had directly stored his equipment in the game.

After all, some Martial Warriors left their equipment in the military camp or at the HR Alliance in Central Plains Base City.

So it was not strange for him to return like this.

As he was about to reach his villa, Xiao Yang suddenly spotted someone standing in front of it from afar.

Upon seeing that person, Xiao Yang hurried over.

"Uncle Chen, why are you here?"

That was right. The person standing at the villa entrance was Chen Jian.

Chen Jian patted Xiao Yang's shoulder with one hand and looked him over from head to toe.

"You really aren't injured. Good."

Hearing Chen Jian's words, Xiao Yang could not help feeling warmth in his heart.

Although he had no family or friends in this world, there were still people who cared about him.

It was a very good feeling.

"Uncle Chen, come in and sit for a while."

Chen Jian waved his hand.

"No, I was taking a walk after dinner and happened to pass by to check on you."

"Now that I've seen you aren't hurt, I can rest easy."

"I'll head back first."

Without waiting for Xiao Yang to stop him, he clasped his hands behind his back and headed toward his own villa.

Watching Chen Jian's departing back, Xiao Yang felt that he needed to buy him a bottle of Water of Life as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, while his watermelons could heal some injuries, they still could not regenerate severed limbs.

Otherwise, there would be no need for so much trouble.

After watching Chen Jian disappear around the corner, Xiao Yang returned to his villa.

He went straight to his study, turned on his computer, logged into his account, and entered the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall's official website.

Then, he directly opened the secret manuals—attack manuals—World Annihilation—the first four levels.

World Annihilation First Four Levels—Price: 15 billion Huaxia Currency (full price), 7.5 billion Huaxia Currency (half price; requirement: three-star contribution points)

Xiao Yang did not hesitate and directly clicked purchase.

After entering his password, verifying his fingerprint, and confirming his Martial Warrior ID, his savings instantly fell from 8.1 billion to 600 million.

Yet there was not the slightest hint of regret in Xiao Yang's eyes.

Huaxia Currency was worthless in the universe anyway.

He might not need it much longer.

Besides, the money he spent now would be earned back countless times over in the future.

Then, seeing that he still had 600 million left, Xiao Yang opened the equipment page and began selecting throwing knives.

Looking at the prices of the throwing knives, he could not help twitching the corner of his mouth.

600 million could only buy three SS-grade throwing knives!

And that was at half price!
