"Doom Octopus?"
No one had expected the fourth-tier material Guo Jiuxiao produced to be Doom Octopus!
Everyone was surprised to hear it.
Not because killing that many Doom Octopuses seemed impossible, but because it seemed utterly pointless.
Doom Octopuses had no materials of practical value on their bodies, and the slightest carelessness in combat could put someone in mortal danger. They were a pile of dog shit-disgusting to look at and foul to smell.
Of course, the Three Major Merchants' Associations had classified Doom Octopus as a fourth-tier material under the rules of this trade. The Vine Heart had given it that temporary value.
But before those rules were announced, who could have imagined that, in the eyes of those three titans, Kyle, Zoff, and Jiang Hao, Doom Octopus corpses could stand on equal footing with the remains of truly powerful gods, or even serve as leverage to secure a hundred kilograms of Vine Heart?!
The smile instantly froze on Kyle's face. He turned to stare at Guo Jiuxiao. "Principal Guo! Don't tell me those two hundred thousand kilograms of fourth-tier materials you brought out are all Doom Octopuses?!"
Guo Jiuxiao nodded. "Correct. They are indeed Doom Octopuses. What's wrong, Chairman Kyle? When Chairman Jiang read out the rules just now, he didn't seem to impose any additional limits on the specific weight or proportion of Doom Octopus, did he?"
"Well..."
Kyle and Zoff both looked at Jiang Hao. His expression unchanged, Jiang Hao replied, "That is indeed what the three of us agreed upon beforehand. Doom Octopus corpses may not be worth much, but since Principal Guo can produce so many, our Three Major Merchants' Associations will not go back on our word."
"Good. With your assurance, Chairman Jiang, I can rest easy."
The two played off each other,
