Selling Off Equipment, Setting Out for the Wilderness Zone

"By the way, big brother, speaking of which, I also invested in a junior martial artist. He's an eighteen-year-old Beginner Warrior whose blade techniques and movement techniques have both reached Basic Level major mastery.

"Instructor Jiang Nian mentioned him while we were chatting. Since we came from the same martial arts school, I gave him a little help. I hope it'll make the road of a martial artist a little easier for him."

As they chatted and laughed, Luo Feng used the topic to mention how he had previously invested 100 million Huaxia Currency in Li Jing.

"Well, third brother, so you quietly became an angel investor too. Not bad. That's the kind of awareness the strongest person on Earth should have."

Thunder God laughed and patted Luo Feng on the shoulder, though he paid little attention to Li Jing, the person Luo Feng had invested in.

Compared to the promising Planetary Level prospect Hong had mentioned earlier, an eighteen-year-old Beginner Warrior with Basic Level major mastery in blade techniques and movement techniques would do very well to become a War God in the future.

For Earth, where the breakthrough method was now widely available and the number of Planetary Level experts had begun to rise slowly, his usefulness was approximately zero.

However, if he took many wives and had many children, passing down his outstanding genes, he could still play a part in the overall evolution of Earth Humans.

After chatting and laughing for a while, the three Earth brothers relaxed the taut strings in their minds and got busy again.

Luo Feng resumed his cultivation, while Hong and Thunder God handled the affairs at the Bailan Star warehouse in his place.

Whether they were promising Planetary Level or War God Level prospects, they were still far too removed from the level the three brothers had reached.

They had helped ease the brothers' state of mind, allowing them to protect Earth in better condition.

That seemed more useful to Earth than anything their future achievements could bring.

With his mind relaxed once more, Luo Feng felt the opportunity for a breakthrough growing increasingly clear. He would reach Star Level today!

Earth, Mingyue Residential Area.

After a night's rest, Li Jing had returned to peak condition. He changed into a full set of series 6 equipment.

He stuffed all the equipment and materials from his earlier card draws that he needed to dispose of into his enormous tactical backpack.

He then headed straight to the HR Alliance Mall, where he sold all the equipment for 40 million Huaxia Currency.

He then boarded a train bound for the Wilderness Zone and arrived at Warrior Supply Base No. 004 in the Northern Military Region of Jiangnan Base City.

Electrified high-voltage wire fences, thick defensive walls, watchtowers, and the fully armed troops standing guard atop them

separated the Wilderness Zone and the Warrior Supply Base into two different worlds.

"Beginner Warrior Li Jing, welcome to Warrior Supply Base No. 004. The base provides accommodations for rest and some basic recreational facilities.

"Buyers from the major factions are also stationed here. You can sell materials from the monsters you kill at the base."

"Your residence at the base is townhouse No. 216. The entry code has been sent to your personal terminal. You can move in by entering the code."

At the Supply Base gate, Li Jing presented his martial artist credentials and received a salute and a welcome from the soldier on guard.

Li Jing nodded and headed into the Supply Base under the soldier's gaze.

Watching Li Jing walk away, the soldier frowned slightly.

A Beginner Warrior Level martial artist-why did he come to the Wilderness Zone alone?

Did he fail to find a martial artist squad willing to take him in, or will his squadmates meet up with him later?

Warrior Level martial artists, especially Beginner Warrior Level martial artists.

If they did not form a martial artist squad, entering the Wilderness Zone alone was extremely dangerous, with a mortality rate exceeding 90%!

I hope it's the latter!

The soldier thought to himself, withdrew his gaze, and continued his watch attentively, firearm in hand.

Every martial artist was a precious asset to humanity. Even with the Purple Light Dew Luo Feng now provided free of charge to help every senior Advanced Martial Arts Student advance to Quasi-Martial Artist, it could not conceal how scarce martial artists were!

Meanwhile, Li Jing arrived at villa No. 216, which had been temporarily assigned to him for rest, and headed straight to the cultivation room.

After making sure it was safe, he used the funds he had only recently received to make four ten-card draws.

He spent a total of 36 million Huaxia Currency, leaving an account balance of 4 million.

He was about to enter the Wilderness Zone, so any increase in combat strength was worthwhile. What if that little bit made all the difference in a moment of crisis?

Soon, Li Jing had drawn all 40 cards.

After his incredible luck the day before, when he had drawn a purple SSR card with a one-in-a-thousand chance, his luck had fallen back.

The 40 draws yielded a total of 35 white N cards and five green R cards.

The overall odds were about the same as those listed for the card pool.

Of the 35 white N cards, nearly half were equipment and material cards of little value, 15 in all.

By Li Jing's estimate, selling them all to the HR Alliance would recoup about three million-a heavy loss.

Of the other 20 white N cards, 16 were primary strength cards and four were primary movement technique cards.

The five green R cards yielded one series 4 alloy longsword, one Stalker Series Sniper Rifle, and three intermediate strength cards.

The HR Alliance Mall's buyback price for the alloy longsword and sniper rifle was around 20 million.

He used all the strength cards and movement technique cards, leaving the remaining equipment and material cards unmaterialized for the time being.

After he used the strength cards, Li Jing's physical strength increased by 3,100 kilograms.

The increase brought his physical strength to 17,500 kilograms, past the threshold of 16,000 kilograms and firmly into the Intermediate War General Level.

Although his physical strength was not far above the threshold, combined with his movement and blade techniques, ordinary Intermediate Beast General Level monsters could not stop him. His strength had risen by another small margin!

If he mastered all three of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade's first three layers, he would be able to exert 2.8 times his strength.

Li Jing was even confident that, with his current physical strength, he could hunt down some ordinary Advanced Beast General Level monsters.

His movement technique improved slightly, but remained at Perfect Level minor mastery.

White N-grade movement technique cards could now provide only a very small improvement.

Even so, they had brought Li Jing's movement technique to the threshold of Perfect Level major mastery.

With Li Jing's current, improved comprehension, all he needed for a breakthrough was a period of painstaking training or another two primary movement technique cards.

All his preparations were complete. It was time to set out for the Wilderness Zone!

People said that War God Level martial artists made money hunting monsters faster than even a money printer could print it.

So would it be too much for me, an Intermediate War General Level martial artist, to make money almost as fast as a money printer?

Full of anticipation, Li Jing left Warrior Supply Base No. 004 and headed alone for County Town No. 156.

Before the Great Nirvana, it had been a large county town with a population of over a million, and it had been known for farming, forestry, and animal husbandry.

As a result, County Town No. 156 had a higher proportion of Beast General Level monsters than other ordinary county towns.

Many War General Level squads of average strength chose it as their hunting ground.

After all, unlike the big cities, County Town No. 156 did not have too many powerful monsters beyond the ability of ordinary War General squads to handle.

Nor was it like ordinary county towns, where Beast General Level monsters were scarce.

Each one commanded anywhere from a few dozen to hundreds or even thousands of monster underlings.

In County Town No. 156, Beast General Level monsters normally had only a dozen or so Beast Soldier Level subordinates, with the larger groups numbering only around a hundred.

Without interference from monster tides, both the difficulty and efficiency of hunting Beast General Level monsters were higher.

After spending a long time browsing the Limit Home forum, Li Jing had carefully picked this place as his own beginner village.

At the base gate, the soldier who had received Li Jing earlier watched him leave alone. He opened his mouth to say something, but ultimately fell silent.

Let go of the urge to help and respect others' fates. This Beginner Warrior named Li Jing probably won't make it back to the Supply Base in one piece.

Unless he stays near the highway and hunts lone Primary Beast Soldier Level monsters.
