Qian Duo put away the Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle egg, beaming with joy. The egg's price was one aspect, but more importantly, the value of the distribution channel was significant.
He can get his hands on good stuff that others can't, so even more forces will come to him to recycle materials or buy monster materials in the future.
This was definitely a highlight of his career.
" Uncle Qian, I have some materials on a Double-Headed Black-Line Snake here. Could you take a look at them?"
Zhang Junbao took out the materials about the Double-Headed Black-Line Snake from his bag.
"Oh? This is a mutated Double-Headed Black-Line Snake, twice as venomous as the ordinary Black-Line Snake."
"Two venom sacs, four fangs, four snake eyes, and a body full of scales, all perfectly intact. This is a rare find!" Qian Duo was completely excited and ignored Zhang Junbao, taking out his instruments to examine the item.
This also included the commission that was originally given to the Fire Hammer Squad. However, after Zhang Junbao returned, the Limits Dojo had already paid the reward for finding Zhang Junbao, so Gao Feng refused to accept the commission from Zhang Junbao no matter what.
According to Gao Feng, Zhang Junbao saved his and Zhang Ke's lives. If they had to charge money for escorting Zhang Junbao back, they would have no face to continue being martial artists.
Therefore, in the end, all the materials for the Double-Headed Black-Line Snake were in Zhang Junbao's hands.
"The identification is complete. All these materials come from the same Double-Headed Black-Line Snake. This is High-Level Beast General, almost becoming a dragon, a terrifying monster approaching the Lord-level. Even a Elite Squad War General Level might not be able to handle it," Qian Duo exclaimed.
"Hehe, this was a team effort between me and the Fire Hammer Squad. Captain Gao Feng even broke through a barrier during the battle."
"So that's how it is. This Double-Headed Black-Line Snake is worth the equivalent of four ordinary Black-Line Snake. A typical Black-Line Snake is worth around 400 million, Double-Headed Black-Line Snake can sell for 1.6 billion. It's already comparable to a typical Primary Lord- level monster."
"Let's go with this price." The price was fair, and Zhang Junbao readily accepted it.
"You martial artists really make money fast! You've already made nearly 10 billion in one go," Qian Duo exclaimed.
" Old Qian, don't you know? Martial artists risk their lives. Take this Double-Headed Black-Line Snake, for example. Even I couldn't withstand just a little bit of its venom. Do you think Junbao has it easy?"
Wu Tong sighed, recalling how back when they were still in the Wilderness Zone, it was common to see squads losing members in battles; it was a perfectly normal thing in martial arts squads.
Just like the Fire Hammer Squad, if they hadn't happened to run into Zhang Junbao, apart from Gao Feng, the rest of the team might not have made it back.
" Uncle Wu is right. Zhang Ke of the Fire Hammer Squad almost lost his life because of this Double-Headed Black-Line Snake. He was hit so hard that he vomited blood and even his spear was shattered."
"Quite a few martial artists have perished in the Wilderness Zone. Look at this combat uniform and this spearhead; I found them in the lair of the Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle. Its original owner must have long since become food for demonic beasts."
Zhang Junbao took out his full combat uniform and the gun barrel.
Oh? Let me see.
This is truly a fine spear! The cold gleam emanating from its tip alone is enough to send chills down one's spine. It's most likely a spear wielded by a Wargod. If I'm not mistaken, this should be an SS-level spear. The tip even has a chip—what kind of monstrous beast did it fight to achieve such a devastating victory?
Qian Duo Duo's eyes lit up; as expected of a professional, he immediately began appraising the item upon seeing it.
"That's impossible. I found it in the nest of Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle. Even that male Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle was only close to Intermediate Lord."
Zhang Junbao was filled with doubt. SS-level gun barrel? Wasn't this martial artist killed by the Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle couple? Then why were the combat suit and gun barrel with them?
"Please trust my expertise. The results are in: this is an SS-level weapon, with a 40% integrity level. It's quite damaged; the shaft is broken, and even the spearhead is damaged. But without a doubt, it's an SS-level spear."
"Is it really SS-level?"
"Could Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle, approaching the level of Intermediate Lord, possibly have damaged this spearhead like this?"
"Impossible. The beak of Intermediate Lord Level Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle is also one of the materials used to make SS-level swords. But even though it's an SS-level sword, for it to be damaged like this, the beak of that Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle wouldn't be in much better condition."
Qian Duo explained.
"No, the Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle I saw, which was close to Intermediate Lord Level, had a complete sword-beak."
"Then it can only be High Lord- class beast. The Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle is one of the few demonic beasts that possesses materials stronger than its own strength. If it is High Lord- class Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle, then it is quite possible for its beak to destroy this spearhead."
After hearing Qian Duo's explanation, Zhang Junbao broke out in a cold sweat.
"So, there was actually another High Lord nearby at that time, but it didn't make a move. Could it be the father of that Intermediate Lord?"
"It's possible that some highly intelligent monsters have gifted treasures. However, this is limited to treasures that don't actually help their own strength. Perhaps that High Lord killed this human Wargod, collected his relics, and later gave them to the Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle that captured you."
This is a very rare phenomenon. Perhaps those scientists who study the habits of demonic beasts could deduce something from it.
Human scientists don't just study weapons; many also try to find ways to eliminate monsters by studying their habits.
" Junbao, according to you, this combat uniform and gun barrel, could they be the betrothal gift for the Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle that captured you?" Wu Tong suddenly asked.
"Hmm? You know what, it's actually quite possible. Uncle Wu, you really are a genius, to think of something like that."
Amazed by Wu Tong's wild imagination, Zhang Junbao was pondering something else: High Lord- class Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle —how much would that be worth?
"I've gone off on a tangent. If this gun were in perfect condition and purchased from a martial arts school, the full price would be 35 billion, and the half price would be 17.5 billion."
If it's inside the War God Palace, the best price would be 12 billion.
12 billion is already the lowest price; the production cost of this spear is around 10 billion. However, you only have the spearhead; the shaft is missing, and the spearhead is damaged, which greatly reduces its value.
Although the most valuable part of a gun is the muzzle, which accounts for about 70% of its value, or 7 billion, repairing the muzzle and replacing it with a new gun body is also quite expensive.
I'll give you a maximum of 2 billion for this gun head.
"Two billion it is, it's all found on the street anyway."
The spearhead was originally damaged, so selling it for 2 billion is already Qian Duo. The work of repairing it is not much less than manufacturing a new one; this is just to save on materials.
"Good.
As for this combat suit, only the combat vest is SS-level; the rest are S-grade.
This is actually quite common in the War God Palace. Since the combat vest is the most crucial part, it naturally needs to be of high quality, while other parts are of slightly lower grade.
"What price are you willing to offer?" Zhang Junbao asked with a smile. He actually had some idea about the combat suit. This combat suit had accompanied him through the battle against the monster horde, and the crucial upper body was completely undamaged. It had also provided considerable protection when he was dealing with the Lord-level Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle.
"A complete SS-class Combat Suit costs 120 billion at full price at the martial arts school, and 60 billion at half price. The best price at the War God Palace is 40 billion! Your SS-level combat vest, being a core component, is worth half the entire combat suit! It's in perfect condition (100%). If you buy it from the War God Palace, the best price is 20 billion."
"However, the cost of the combat vest is clearly less than 20 billion. And my offer is definitely below our production cost."
"I'll offer you a maximum price of 15 billion to acquire this SS-level combat vest." Qian Duo offered a realistic price, which was normal.
Even if you're very familiar with Wu Tong, it's impossible for you to offer a price that's higher than normal.
"What price would you offer for the other S-class combat suit components?" Zhang Junbao asked.
After all, everyone's body shape is different, and the size of the combat uniforms they buy varies. Although Zhang Junbao can barely fit into this combat uniform, it is actually quite large. Back in the Wilderness Zone, having a combat uniform to wear was already a blessing, but now he doesn't plan to keep it, since it's secondhand.
Qian Duo smiled and said, "A complete S-class combat suit costs 12 billion at full price at the martial arts school, and 6 billion at half price. The War God Palace's best price is 4 billion. But your S-class combat suit is missing the core component, the 'combat vest,' so even at cost price, it won't exceed 1.5 billion. Moreover, your condition isn't 100%, so I can only offer you 900 million!"
Upon hearing the price, Zhang Junbao smiled and agreed. He was giving Wu Tong face by offering Qian Duo; otherwise, this S-class combat suit would probably only be worth 800 million. He probably worried that if he offered too little, Zhang Junbao wouldn't hire him again.
"This is a big deal today! No wonder he's a genius martial artist, he's made a name for himself! Junbao, Wu Tong, I'll treat you to dinner later at the best restaurant in Yangzhou City, the ' Wargod Hotel.' Their monster ingredients are top-notch. Let's try them today because of Junbao's connections." Qian Duo was in a great mood.
" Uncle Qian, don't worry, you're probably going to have to spend a lot of money on this meal. I have something else here." Zhang Junbao took out another backpack and retrieved the Dragon Roar Sword from it.
"Besides?
Junbao, you've robbed the Wilderness Zone! You've gotten more good loot than any other small team!
"These are the beak and tail feathers of High-Level Beast General- level Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle, the one that kidnapped me. The other two are its two cubs," Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
"You've completely destroyed it, haven't you? You didn't hide a nest inside, did you?" Qian Duo was also surprised; he was pulling out one good thing after another.
"I was thinking, do you guys accept that thing too? It's a pity it's too big, several meters in diameter, otherwise I would have carried it back for you."
"The beak of High-Level Beast General- grade Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle is a material for forging some high-level S-grade swords. Although it is not as good as SS-level, it is indeed a rare and excellent material among S-grade swords. Bird-type monster materials are generally more expensive than those of walking beasts, and are also more difficult to obtain."
Its tail feathers are also used to make protective suits and high-end clothing. So, a High-Level Beast General- level sword beak, two Intermediate Beast Soldier, and matching tail feathers—that's all for 2.5 billion.
Zhang Junbao took out all the remaining monster materials, but they were scattered. Most of them were materials for Beast General generals. As for materials for Beast Soldier, he didn't take them because they took up too much space and weren't very valuable.
The total price of these materials was Qian Duo 2 billion. It can be seen that the greater the difference in strength between the monsters, the greater the difference in the value of the materials. The materials of so many ordinary Beast General combined are not as valuable as the materials of a single High-Level Beast General.
Qian Duo was overjoyed and calculated. " The Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle egg is worth 8 billion, the materials are worth 2 billion plus 2.5 billion, the Double-Headed Black-Line Snake worth 1.6 billion, the spearhead is worth 2 billion, and the SS-level vest is worth 15 billion, for a total of 31.1 billion."
Wow... your money-making speed is almost on par with some Wargod!
"Haha, I risked my life to earn this. Transfer the money to this account." Zhang Junbao handed over a slip of paper with an anonymous account number and confirmation password for a "Swiss Bank".
He didn't want people to know how much money he actually had, which saved him some trouble.
"Okay, just a moment, I'll transfer it to you." As the acquisition manager, Qian Duo had considerable authority, and the bank assigned a dedicated person to assist him. The transfer of hundreds of billions was confirmed in just five minutes.
Zhang Junbao's phone also rang.
I checked my phone and saw a message: "Dear Diamond Customer, your account ending in 189834 received a remittance of Huaxia Currency 31,100,000,000 at 11:36 on the 28th, leaving a balance of Huaxia Currency 31,100,000,000. ( Swiss International Bank )"
"It's a pleasure to do business with you!" Zhang Junbao extended his hand.
"It's a pleasure doing business with you! I hope you'll continue to support me as a major client. Feel free to contact me with any good products you have; I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the price."
Wu Tong, you've introduced me to such a big client as Junbao this time. We brothers have to have a good drink together today!
Try some of this monster's meat; it's said that long-term consumption can greatly benefit a martial artist's physical development.
Junbao, you're currently in a phase of rapid improvement in strength, so don't be shy and eat more later."
"Qian Duo," he said generously.
Top-tier monster delicacies—this is not something ordinary people can afford to eat. Even he only indulges in it occasionally when entertaining important clients.
This meal would easily cost several million Huaxia Currency. However, compared to this massive order worth tens of billions, it's just a small matter.
Zhang Junbao and Wu Tong looked at each other and smiled.
" Old Qian, you've miscalculated this time. Do you think Junbao survived in the Wilderness Zone? He's different from other martial artists; he didn't bring any food."
" Uncle Qian, don't listen to Uncle Wu's nonsense. In the wilderness, I can only roast monster meat haphazardly. Without salt, cumin, and other seasonings, the taste is really not good. How can it compare to the chefs in hotels?"
"So that's how you came out of the Wilderness Zone. That's something no ordinary martial artist could do," Qian Duo said in surprise.
"Yeah, where do you think those two little Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle went? They've both ended up in this kid's stomach," Wu Tong said with a laugh.
"This is insane!" Qian Duo was completely stunned. A monster cub worth billions, just eaten like that???
