Song Jiao'er was taken aback, clearly not expecting Chu Hong to refuse.

"Are you sure? The Dragon Roar Holy Academy's assessment is no joke; without any experience..."

Chu Hong waved his hand, interrupting her.

"I'm sure."

As he spoke, he pulled Wang Suming along and continued walking towards the camp's trading area.

Song Jiao'er stood there, watching the two figures disappear into the distance, her brows furrowed.

"Young Miss, these two people are ungrateful, why bother..."

One of the guards couldn't help but speak up, but Song Jiao'er stopped him by raising her hand.

"Let's follow them and see."

From the very beginning, she sensed that Chu Hong was somewhat strange. It wasn't that she had discovered Chu Hong's cheat ability, but rather... Chu Hong was too confident!

Since entering the camp, they didn't even linger or try to contact any pioneers for escort; they simply led Wang Suming straight into the secret realm.

The whole process felt like walking back to my own neighborhood...

She wanted to see what gave these two people the confidence to refuse such good terms from her.

......

Camp trading post.

This is a simple wooden shed with a few tables inside, responsible for buying up the collectibles brought out by the pioneers from the secret realm.

This place serves as an office for the Pioneers' Guild. Not only are there dedicated pioneers guarding it, but every so often, they also need to communicate with the Huangshan Base City to confirm the safety of the trading area at the camp.

At this moment, there were few people in the trading room, and the person in charge was dozing off at the table.

"Knock knock knock".

Chu Hong tapped on the table.

The person in charge jolted awake, looked up, and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"Gentlemen, are you shipping goods or buying something?"

"Shipping out".

As Chu Hong spoke, he took off the backpack from his back.

Wang Suming quickly did as he was told, and two extra-large backpacks with 45 compartments each were placed on the table.

Two heavy "bangs" instantly brightened the eyes of the person in charge, who was still somewhat sleepy.

"Gentlemen, for any collectibles produced in the secret realm, we can settle the payment immediately. Furthermore, if you need to return to the base city, we can arrange a special escort convoy..."

He didn't look down on Chu Hong and his companion just because they looked young.

In the pioneering profession, age doesn't really matter. Some people are born with amazing skills, and every time they enter a secret realm, they can come out with a full load of collectibles.

He froze before he could finish speaking.

Because Chu Hong had already started taking things out of his backpack.

Orc Empire Silver Coin (Purple)

【Karigo (purple)】

[Bone Horn (Purple)]

[Intermediate Mana Recovery Potion (Purple)]

[Lizard Eye Drops (Purple)]

......

One, two, three...

One by one, purple-quality collectibles were taken out of Chu Hong's backpack and neatly arranged on the table.

The person in charge's eyes widened, and his mouth opened so wide it could fit an egg.

"This, this, this..."

He stammered, and could barely speak properly.

Wang Suming wasn't idle either; he was also taking things out of his backpack.

【Karigo (purple)】

【Oil-painted dinner plate (blue)】

[Bone Horn (Purple)]

【...】

"Purple... they're all purple-level collectibles?!"

His voice trembled and became slightly distorted, but the commotion immediately alerted the pioneer team on duty at the trading post that day.

The way these people looked at Chu Hong and Wang Suming instantly changed to one of admiration and respect.

Wang Suming chuckled, a smug look on his face.

Chu Hong, on the other hand, remained calm. After taking out the items for sale, he looked at the person in charge and asked.

"I heard that the trading post at the outer camp of the Secret Kingdom also offers cargo storage and escort services, is that right?"

The person in charge was taken aback, then seemed to realize something.

His face gradually flushed red with excitement and anticipation.

"Yes, young man, our trading post is backed by the Pioneers Guild. Storage and escort are guaranteed. Even if your items are lost, as long as you can produce the storage receipt, you can directly claim compensation from the guild's base city office. Even red-level collectibles will be compensated by the guild."

As he spoke, his eyes lit up as he watched Chu Hong's hand reach into his backpack.

however.

This time, however, it wasn't Chu Hong who brought him the surprise, but rather...

"Hahahaha! Clang clang clang!" When Wang Suming, full of smugness, suddenly pulled out a golden dog-head ingot from his backpack, a large number of pioneers near the camp's trading area were instantly attracted.

The sound of gasping for air reached my ears clearly.

"Holy crap! It's a gold nugget! A two-by-two, four-block-sized gold nugget!"

"Wow... this fat guy's luck is just too good! Last time in the [Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe] secret realm, the one who pulled out this golden dog-head item was from the Rose Flower Pioneer Squad, right?"

"Can you even compare? Back then, Rose spent a whole month farming this dungeon and only got that one piece!"

Everyone went crazy, trying to rush forward, but the pioneer squad guarding the trading post stopped them all outside the trading post, despite warnings from the guards.

"Don't push! People in the back, don't push!"

"Holy crap! It's real gold nugget! Bro, you've struck it rich!"

"Young man, could you sell your gold nugget to our Sacred Heart Pioneers team? We can offer a high price!"

"Sir, our Sandbar Pioneers team can offer 60 Source Points! Cash on delivery!"

"......"

Wang Suming, however, was unwilling. This was a precious treasure he had found when he first touched a container in his life.

Even if he were to die, he would never sell this gold nugget.

Not to mention... following Brother Hong, you get to eat nine meals a day!

"I'm not selling it. Send this gold nugget back to Huangshan Base City!"

Wang Suming took out his ID card. He could already imagine the expressions on his parents' faces when they saw the gold dog head.

Wouldn't you just put this thing up with the ancestral tablets?

Thinking of this, Wang Suming couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

At that moment, Chu Hong finally took out his own item.

【Store Lightning Ring (Gold)】

When the ring, shimmering with golden light, was placed on the table, the previously noisy trading area instantly fell silent.

The golden light shone on the person in charge's blank face, making it look particularly comical.

"Gold, gold... another gold-quality collectible! And a rare accessory at that!?"

The person in charge, with trembling hands, picked up the ring and examined it carefully.

"That's right, it's a gold-quality collectible! The [Lightning Storage Ring] from the Thunderhorn Lizardman Secret Realm! Its market value is at least 80 Source Points!"

In terms of individual value, Chu Hong's [Thunder Storage Ring] completely surpasses Wang Suming's gold nugget.

"Sir, are you really not considering selling this [Lightning Storage Ring]? Our trading post can offer you a high price!"

His voice was trembling.

If this deal goes through, his bonus will be very substantial, and... working at the trading post, the amount of high-level collectibles he acquires is directly related to his future position.

And this moment.

At the entrance of the trading hall.

Song Jiao'er stood there, completely frozen in place, as if petrified.

When she saw Chu Hong and Wang Suming take out a table full of blue and even purple collectibles, her cherry-like mouth was already so shocked that it could have swallowed an egg.

now.

When you see the two of them, each has a gold-quality collectible.

Especially after seeing the [Lightning Storage Ring] that Chu Hong took out, he could no longer restrain himself.

"Chu Hong, Chu Hong..."

She anxiously waved and shouted at Chu Hong from the crowd.

however.

There were so many voices around. As one of the few magic-side secret realms around Huangshan Base City, the pioneer teams that have been operating in this camp for many years are all similar to the Magic Cube Merchant Guild, magic-side pioneer teams.

The excited arguing over the bids drowned out Song Jiao'er's voice, making it impossible for it to escape.

Fortunately, Chu Hong has no intention of selling this gold-quality item for the time being.

I directly selected the storage service at the transaction center.

He needs to publicly acquire some high-end collectibles that are known to everyone, so that when he brings out something even better later, it won't attract too much attention.
