Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 34 Frenzied Slaughter

An hour later, Yang Wu and the others returned to their base in Siyuan Community.

"Haha..." Captain Chu Tian laughed and said, "We took down this armored bull herd without much effort. Everyone cooperated well! If we continue hunting monsters at this pace, even in this city of 023, the harvest won't be small!"

Zhou Zheng, Zheng Tao, and the others also smiled.

They were prepared for a poor harvest this time, but they didn't expect to have such a good harvest right from the start.

"Indeed!" Zhou Zheng laughed as well, "Materials from high-level Beast General-grade Armored Bulls are quite rare. After all, most bull-type monsters live in groups, and it's rare to find a lone Beast General-grade bull-type monster. The materials from these few Armored Bulls combined are estimated to be worth over 400 million!"

Making more money is always a good thing.

After all, while martial artists earn a lot, they also spend a lot of money. Weapons, equipment, secret manuals, and various treasures are all incredibly expensive.

"This time, we'll stick to the old rules!" Chu Tian said to Yang Wu, "The spoils will be distributed according to everyone's contributions in the battle. We'll make the final distribution after we return to the supply base after this hunt!"

"clear!"

Yang Wu and the others responded in unison.

This is the procedure for distributing loot in most martial arts squads.

It was nearly evening, and Chu Feng said directly, "Everyone, rest for half an hour. After half an hour, we'll continue hunting monsters!"

Having just gone through a fierce battle, Yang Wu and the others definitely needed to rest for a while.

And so, the Phantom Squad began their killing spree in City 023, with countless monsters dying at their hands every day.

By the end of the day, the Phantom Squad could usually collect materials from more than a dozen Beast General-level monsters. Of course, high-level Beast General-level monsters were relatively rare, and they didn't know if they would encounter even one in a day.

……

After more than ten days of continuous fighting, Yang Wu and his companions hunted down 157 beast general-level monsters, including 5 high-level beast generals, 21 medium-level beast generals, and the rest were low-level beast generals.

The materials from a low-level Beast General-level monster can generally be sold for between 500 million and 1500 million Chinese Yuan.

The important materials from a mid-level Beast General-level monster can generally be sold for 10 million to 100 million Chinese Yuan.

Materials from high-level beast general-level monsters can fetch around 50 million to 600-700 million Chinese yuan.

The total value of the monster materials carried by the Phantom Squad members is estimated to be between 30 billion and 40 billion.

However, after so many days of frantic hunting by the Phantom Squad, there are far fewer Beast General-level monsters near Siyuan Community, and high-level Beast General-level monsters are nowhere to be seen.

On the thirteenth day of arriving in City 023, at a rest stop five kilometers south of Siyuan Community.

"Captain, we've really hit the jackpot by having Yang Wu join our martial arts team!" Zheng Tao said excitedly.

He couldn't help but be excited. Normally, the Phantom Squad would earn about the same amount of money in ten days in City 003.

Keep in mind, that's City 003! The monster density there is far greater than in City 023!

In this city of 023, they have expanded their search area to a radius of ten miles in order to find the monster.

In other words, when they enter City 003 next time, their income may be much higher than before! Although there is one more person to share the money, on average, they will still be able to earn more.

Chu Tian smiled too.

He had no idea before that the Phantom Squad's monster-hunting efficiency would increase so much after adding one more person.

"In a year or two, when Yang Wu and Wang Zhi's physical abilities reach the level of advanced warriors, we'll probably make money even faster!" Zhou Zheng nodded and smiled.

In Zhou Zheng's view, Yang Wu and Wang Zhi's strength is still rapidly increasing in the Phantom Squad, and they have a great chance of breaking through to the level of advanced warrior.

"Haha, once they both break through to the advanced warrior level, I'm afraid I'll have to retire!"

Zheng Tao said with a smile, but there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

He has now passed the stage of rapid growth in strength, and it will indeed be difficult for him to keep up with the development of the Phantom Squad in the future.

"Old Zheng, you're overthinking it!" Zhou Zheng quickly said, "Even if Yang Wu and Wang Zhi manage to break through to the High-Level Warrior realm, it won't happen overnight. Besides, I know you, Old Zheng. You're probably not much different from being a High-Level Warrior yourself!"

"I'm still far from it!" Zheng Tao said with a bitter face, "I'm almost forty years old, I definitely can't catch up with the two of them!"

"What are you afraid of? I'm over forty!" Zhou Zheng comforted him. "If all else fails, just buy a Blue Demon's Tear; that will definitely get you to the rank of High-Level Warrior!"

"Blue Demon's Tear!" Zheng Tao's voice suddenly rose: "The Blue Demon's Tear costs 200 billion Chinese Yuan! Even if you buy it at half price in the Limitless House's shop, the price will still be 100 billion Chinese Yuan!"

Blue Demon Tears are a rare and precious material that enhances physical attributes, unlike gene-enhancing drugs which have side effects. Generally speaking, warriors at the general level can experience a significant increase in strength after using Blue Demon Tears.

Many elite warriors at the high-level general level use the Blue Demon's Tear to try to break through to the War God level.

"You, Lao Zheng, have been venturing into the wilderness for so many years, haven't you accumulated a fortune of 100 billion Chinese yuan yet?" Zhou Zheng retorted.

"Brother Zhou!" Zheng Tao hesitated, "I've worked hard for so many years and only managed to save a little over 10 billion. Besides, my son is starting high school this year, and I was thinking of buying him some treasures to lay a solid foundation. Taking out 10 billion all at once is really..."

"You!" Zhou Zheng laughed and scolded, "I didn't tell you to buy it now! Yang Wu and Wang Zhi are still a long way from becoming high-level generals, aren't they? Besides, our team will be making money even faster from now on; earning 100 billion isn't impossible!"

"Brother Zheng!" Lu Qing, who was standing to the side, also spoke up, "If you really intend to buy the Blue Demon's Tear, I do have a way to help you spend less money. It should be around 70 billion. I'll have to ask you about the exact amount when I get home."

"This..." Zheng Tao suddenly became somewhat tempted.

In recent years, Zheng Tao's strength has improved very slowly. Five years ago, he had already reached the level of a mid-level warrior, and it was at that time that Zheng Tao joined the Phantom Squad, but to this day, he is still only a mid-level warrior.

If one could really spend 70 billion to buy a Blue Demon's Tear, it would indeed be a good choice.

"Captain, something's wrong!"

Just as Zheng Tao and the others were chatting, Wang Zhi, who had been searching for traces of the Beast General-level monster on the balcony, suddenly called out in a low voice.

Everyone quickly picked up their binoculars to look.

Two or three kilometers to the south, two packs of beasts were fighting.

No, strictly speaking, it should be a small herd of beasts fighting with a few pig-like monsters.

Hundreds of tiger-mastiffs surrounded three pig-like monsters. In the very center, one of the pig-like monsters was fighting the leader of the tiger-mastiffs, while the other two pig-like monsters remained silent.
