Buzz!
Light flared in the dungeon area.
Lu Fang stepped out of the dungeon.
The moment he emerged, he saw ten Money Ghosts already standing neatly outside.
A huge, bulging sack hung from each Money Ghost's back.
The sacks were crammed with materials, equipment, crystal cores, and all sorts of monster drops.
Lu Fang's eyes immediately lit up.
The Money Ghosts' stats were higher than his own.
Though they were less nimble than he was and could not use Spend a Thousand Gold in One Throw, they were actually more efficient than him at simply farming Hell dungeons.
Lu Fang walked over and opened the sacks one by one.
A wealth of materials met his eyes.
There was even quite a lot of Gold- and Diamond-grade equipment.
A smile appeared on Lu Fang's lips.
"Good."
"Even faster than I expected."
With a wave of his hand, he put all the materials into his class holder space.
Soon, however, he noticed that all ten Money Ghosts had suffered varying degrees of wear.
Some had cracked arms.
Some had pits corroded into their chests.
Some still bore traces of blood poison and flame burns.
Though they could clear Hell dungeons alone, they did not emerge completely unscathed.
To maintain peak efficiency, Lu Fang did not make them keep pushing through.
"Dismiss summons."
Buzz!
All ten Money Ghosts simultaneously dissolved into dark golden light.
The next second.
Lu Fang raised his hand again.
"Summon."
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Ten completely unscathed Money Ghosts reappeared.
Their condition was fully restored.
Their auras returned to their peak.
Lu Fang looked at Liu Cheng.
"Continue."
Liu Cheng had already gone numb watching.
Watching those sacks of materials go into the space, then the ten damaged Money Ghosts get dismissed and reappear in perfect condition, he could no longer even muster any shock.
He could restore their condition like that?
When his summons got injured, he didn't heal them.
He just dismissed them and summoned them again.
A fresh start at full health?
What kind of cheap tactic was this?
But Lu Fang gave him no time to space out.
"Wake up. Time to open the dungeons."
Liu Cheng jolted and immediately got to work.
Soon.
Carrying their huge sacks once again, the ten Money Ghosts entered ten separate Hell-difficulty dungeons.
Lu Fang also chose a dungeon and stepped inside.
The second round began.
After that.
Lu Fang kept repeating the process.
Enter a dungeon, kill monsters, collect materials, clear it, come out, collect the Money Ghosts' materials, dismiss them, summon them again, and keep farming.
Round after round.
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
Ten hours later.
Lu Fang stepped out of a dungeon portal once again.
His face had already grown noticeably pale.
With continuous high-intensity combat, even the highest stats could not prevent mental fatigue.
Moreover, he had to monitor the condition of ten Money Ghosts at once, assess their dungeon progress, sort materials by value, and plan the next round's dungeon targets.
His body could still hold out.
But his mind had begun to grow heavy.
Liu Cheng could not help speaking up.
"Sir, why not rest for a while?"
Lu Fang shook his head.
"No rest."
His voice was somewhat hoarse.
"Continue."
Liu Cheng's throat bobbed, but he did not try to persuade him again.
The ten Money Ghosts entered the dungeons once more.
Lu Fang stepped through the portal again as well.
Eleven hours!
Fifteen hours!
Twenty hours!
Above the clouds.
The two men could see it clearly.
Lu Fang was already exhausted.
Yet he did not stop or even slow his pace.
The middle-aged man in gray robes said softly.
"This kid really is ruthless."
The man in black said evenly.
"He certainly is."
"Twenty hours farming dungeons at high intensity without sleep or rest."
"And he has to keep ten summons fighting in dungeons at the same time."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Time continued to pass.
In the blink of an eye.
It was eight the next morning.
Three shifts of staff had already come and gone in the class center's dungeon area.
But Liu Cheng had not left.
He had remained here the entire time because Lu Fang was still farming.
Buzz!
The portal lit up again.
Lu Fang walked out of the dungeon.
His eyes were frighteningly calm.
Or rather, numb.
He could no longer even remember how many monsters he had killed.
Advance, attack, kill, collect.
Those movements seemed etched into his body, becoming muscle memory.
The ten Money Ghosts also emerged from different dungeons one after another.
On their backs were the same huge sacks stuffed with drops.
Lu Fang raised his hand and put all the materials into his class holder space.
Then he checked the time.
Only one hour remained before the quest submission deadline.
He did not enter another dungeon.
He had to use the remaining time to cash out.
Lu Fang turned around.
"Next, let's go to the quest hall."
The class center, quest hall.
It was much livelier here than in the dungeon area.
Many class holders were accepting quests, submitting materials, and claiming rewards here.
Lu Fang walked up to an available counter.
The staff member looked up.
"Hello. Are you here to accept a quest or submit one?"
Lu Fang said.
"Submit quests."
The staff member nodded.
"Please provide the quest number."
Lu Fang did not provide a number.
Instead, he said.
"Bring up every material purchase quest in the level ninety to one hundred range."
The staff member froze for a moment.
"All of them?"
"Yes."
Though puzzled, the staff member did as asked.
Soon, a screen of light unfolded.
A densely packed quest list appeared.
[Buying Black Wind Demon Crystals, unit price: 1.2 million Dragon Coins] [Buying Crimson Blood Empress Heart Cores, unit price: 3.8 million Dragon Coins] [Buying Bone-Rot Venom Sacs, unit price: 750,000 Dragon Coins] [Buying Molten Iron Beast Horns, unit price: 950,000 Dragon Coins] [Buying Shadow Castle Knight Cores, unit price: 2.1 million Dragon Coins]
Lu Fang scanned it and immediately began comparing it against the materials in his class holder space.
Then.
Checked!
Checked!!
Checked!!!
Checking like mad!!!!
At first, the staff member remained quite calm.
But as Lu Fang checked off quests faster and faster, his expression gradually stiffened.
Ten.
Fifty!
A hundred?
Three hundred!!??
Eight hundred!!!!!
One thousand!!!!!!
The quest list flickered frantically.
Lu Fang's hands barely stopped moving.
The staff member watched the submission count keep climbing on the backend, his eyes widening further and further.
Was this guy crazy?
Five minutes later.
Lu Fang finally stopped.
On the light screen, the final submission count froze.
[Quests selected: 3,251]
The staff member stared at the number, utterly dumbfounded.
"Th-three thousand two hundred and fifty-one?"
His voice even changed pitch.
Lu Fang offered no explanation and simply gave his card number.
"Once verification is complete, please transfer the money to this card."
The staff member nodded reflexively.
"O-okay."
Lu Fang raised his hand and waved.
The next second.
Countless materials appeared out of thin air in the open space beside the hall.
All kinds of dungeon drops piled together, forming a small mountain.
Rumble!
The sound of materials tumbling down echoed through the hall.
The entire quest hall instantly fell silent.
