This had to be a super genius who had reached Intermediate War God Level not long after becoming a warrior, enough to rival the past performance of Luo Feng, one of Earth's three strongest!

Realizing this, the people in charge of the Military and the other factions breathed faster, and their gazes toward Li Jing grew even more eager.

I'll find time to get my War God status certified later. The way things are now, I stand out too much. Besides, I'll need War God certification to go to Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9 and score another Black God Set.

Hearing the mechanical announcement in his ear and seeing the crowd grow ever more enthusiastic, Li Jing thought to himself.

Ignoring everyone else, Li Jing went with Manager Yang to the HR Alliance's VIP room.

Seeing that they could no longer continue getting close to Li Jing, the others reported what had happened at Warrior Supply Base No. 004 to the various factions behind them.

The news quickly spread that an Intermediate War God named Li Jing had appeared at Warrior Supply Base No. 004 in the Northern Military Region of Jiangnan Base City, despite his warrior certification listing him as only a Beginner Warrior.

The major factions all put resources into investigating Li Jing's background so they could better recruit a genius with such limitless potential.

While the major factions were busy with Li Jing, he opened his backpack in the VIP room.

"Manager Yang, sorry for the trouble, but could you appraise these?"

Having learned that Li Jing was a War God, Manager Yang no longer dared call him Brother Li as he had yesterday. He replied respectfully, "Of course, War God Li Jing. Please wait a moment. I'll be done shortly!"

Then two female attendants came forward to brew tea for Li Jing, though they were not the same two as yesterday.

They were prettier and more delicate in appearance, and their tea-brewing skills were more refined. Even the tea leaves had been taken from Manager Yang's own desk.

Clearly, he was being received with the highest level of hospitality!

As Li Jing drank his tea, Manager Yang brought over an instrument and carefully began examining the materials.

He could not be sure of the materials Li Jing was selling this time by sight alone. Some he had never even seen before.

As a mid-level purchasing manager for the HR Alliance, he dealt mostly with Beast General Level materials. When had he ever come into close contact with Lord-level materials?

War God warriors capable of hunting Lord-level Monsters all had established channels for selling their monster materials. He never got a turn.

"Hiss, is this the wing membrane of an Elementary Lord Level Shadow Blade Mantis?"

"Is this the heart of an Elementary Lord Level Rock-Armored Giant Bear? It's so different from a Beast General Level Rock-Armored Giant Bear's heart that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them two different species."

"Th-this, this is the horn of an Advanced Lord Level Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros?"

As the instrument tested each item and collected data, the origins and quality of the monster materials Li Jing was selling were confirmed.

As Manager Yang examined them, he exclaimed inwardly. Li Jing truly was a powerful Intermediate War God warrior, having actually hunted down three Elementary Lord Level Monsters in one go.

Lord-level Monsters had tenacious vitality and powerful defenses, and they commanded vast numbers of beasts, far more than the herds led by ordinary Beast General Level monsters.

They were extremely difficult to hunt!

Even Intermediate War God Level warriors had to go to some trouble to hunt an Elementary Lord Level Monster.

To have hunted three Elementary Lord Level Monsters in one go, Li Jing was probably outstanding even among Intermediate War Gods.

But when he identified materials from an Advanced Lord Level Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros,

Manager Yang's heart felt as though someone had gripped it tightly in their hand, and it skipped several beats.

His mind went blank with a boom.

Li Jing was actually capable of hunting Advanced Lord Level monsters, and an Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros at that-one widely recognized as exceptionally troublesome even among Advanced Lord Level monsters!

Just how strong was he?

And just how much of a genius was he?

Manager Yang dared not think any further. This was already beyond what someone at his level could encounter or even imagine.

If Manager Yang had previously entertained some thoughts of building a good relationship with Li Jing, now he dared not even entertain the thought.

When the halo around a person shone too brightly, ordinary people faced it like moths facing a torch.

They longed for the warmth and light the torch offered, yet feared being burned if they drew near.

At this moment, Manager Yang only wanted to do his best in handling this monster-material transaction with Li Jing.

It took him quite a while to calm his turbulent emotions. He then drew up a list and respectfully summarized it for Li Jing.

"War God Li Jing, the materials you're selling this time came from four Lord-level Monsters in total.

"An Advanced Lord Level Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros, two Elementary Lord Level Shadow Blade Mantises, and an Elementary Lord Level Rock-Armored Giant Bear.

"The materials were collected intact and are in excellent condition. Our HR Alliance can purchase them at the highest price offered for materials of the same types."

"The materials from the Advanced Lord Level Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros total 19.5 billion Huaxia Currency."

"The materials from the two Elementary Lord Level Shadow Blade Mantises total 4.4 billion Huaxia Currency."

"The materials from the Elementary Lord Level Rock-Armored Giant Bear total 2.5 billion Huaxia Currency."

"The transaction comes to 26.4 billion Huaxia Currency in total. Would that be acceptable?"

This was already the most favorable price, beyond the authority Manager Yang held as a mid-level purchasing manager in the HR Alliance. He would need to apply to his superiors for approval.

But Manager Yang was confident that the higher-ups would agree.

This was a young, powerful warrior with limitless potential, capable of hunting an Advanced Lord Level Earth-Splitting Dragon Rhinoceros!

It was no exaggeration to say that if Li Jing were willing, he could become a guest elder of the HR Alliance at any time.

He would not have to do a thing all year, and the HR Alliance would still have to give him an expense allowance far exceeding the value of this transaction.

Compared with that, what was a small concession at the highest permitted rate?

Li Jing nodded. The price was a little higher than the selling prices he had found in his research, so it was clearly the very highest the HR Alliance could offer.

Since they were willing to make a concession, he naturally had no reason to turn it down, but he did not feel he owed the HR Alliance anything either.

Even with the concession, once the monster materials were processed into potions and equipment, the HR Alliance could still make a considerable profit!

"Deal!"

Once the transaction was complete, another 26.4 billion Huaxia Currency appeared in Li Jing's account.

Now I have the money to pull the golden limited UR card!

Even Li Jing, who had already pulled cards thousands of times and knew the process like the back of his hand, could not help feeling a little excited.

From now on, he too would be a distinguished Spirit Reader!

Li Jing declined the invitations from the representatives of the various factions at Warrior Supply Base No. 004 and left the base directly, but he did not return to Mingyue Residential Area.

Things were different now. Previously, he had needed to consider his surroundings when pulling cards, afraid of running into danger, so he could only do it inside a Warrior Supply Base or in his villa at Mingyue Residential Area.

But with his current strength and the protection of the Black God Set, he could swagger through even the Wilderness Zone, so long as he did not provoke a King-level monster.

Naturally, there was no need to make an extra trip and waste time.

Li Jing found a county town in the Wilderness Zone. After clearing out all the monsters near a commercial building in its center, he sat down cross-legged in an office.

He immersed his consciousness deep in his sea of consciousness and summoned the system card pool.

"All in! Give me gold!"
