"However, the tracking, killing, dissecting, and bringing back this Silver Moon Ferocious Wolf was all Luo Feng's effort alone," Gao Feng chuckled. "So, as a Hunter, Luo Feng can claim the highest share—'eight-tenths.' The remaining two-tenths will be split equally among the five of us." This was the rule of the martial artist squad.
Even if one person did all the work, they still had to let the others have a taste. Usually, when killing Beast General level monsters, the person with the most credit would generally receive six-tenths at most.
For a situation like Luo Feng's, where he did everything himself, he could receive the maximum of eight-tenths. "Luo Feng, what you earned this time probably exceeds what I've earned in ten years," Chen Gu, standing nearby, couldn't help but exclaim.
"You definitely have to treat us tonight!" "Right, treat us! Let's bleed this rich fellow dry," Wei Tie and Wei Qing chimed in.
Keep in mind, even Zhang Zehu of the 'Tiger Fang Squad' only managed to earn one hundred million over the last couple of years. And those two years represented Zhang Zehu's peak strength; his earning pace was slower before that...
meaning, over all these years, Zhang Zehu had probably only accumulated three to four hundred million. But Luo Feng had made it just from this single venture!
Of course, not just anyone had the strength to take down a 'Hunter' target. Since Luo Feng possessed that strength, he naturally earned wealth.
In the martial artist circle, the stronger one's actual ability, the more astonishing their wealth usually became. "Of course, I must treat you all.
How dare I not treat you? We'll celebrate right here at the HR Alliance Mall," Luo Feng grinned.
"First, I'll distribute the money, transferring it to each of your accounts." Gao Feng said with a smile, and in front of everyone, he transferred the previously acquired funds through the Fire Hammer Squad's public account directly into each person's account. The account number and password for the public account were known to everyone internally.
Usually, as soon as money was earned, it was divided immediately. ...
That afternoon, Luo Feng and his group took a train back to the base city. "The train is about to arrive at the station.
Passengers preparing to disembark, please gather your belongings." The recorded voice of the train attendant echoed through the carriage. With a hiss, the carriage doors opened.
"Let's go!" Gao Feng, Luo Feng, Zhang Ke, Chen Gu, and the Wei brothers all successively stepped out. "So many people." As soon as Luo Feng exited the train, he immediately saw the massive crowd of passengers streaming out around the station.
Through the glass of the station building, he could see countless dense crowds waiting for trains inside. One had to remember that the main urban area of the base city housed over a hundred million people; one could imagine how noisy and bustling the station was!
This was vitality, a surging tide of people! "Brothers, thank the weapons in our hands.
We have returned alive to the base city once more!" Gao Feng spoke with deep emotion. "We're back." "Back to the human city." Luo Feng himself felt a similar sense of awe.
Although this trip to the wilderness only lasted seven or eight days, the wilderness was desolate and ruined everywhere. The cities in the wilderness had long since fallen into disrepair.
Large hordes of monsters were entrenched, and Luo Feng and his team had to move cautiously, terrified of being surrounded by a beast swarm. Only the base city!
This was the safe haven for humanity! This was where civilization existed!
"The base city, the last stronghold of human society," a realization dawned upon Luo Feng. "Even for the sake of this human civilization, martial artists with greater power truly ought to step forward!
Like me, I can easily hunt ordinary Soldier-level monsters, and even easily slay Beginner Beast General level ones. But for ordinary humans, even armed, facing a Beast General level monster is incredibly perilous." Why did the nation grant privileges to martial artists?
Why did the entire world encourage martial artists to hunt monsters? Because the more monsters hunted, the safer the human base cities became.
"Hey, honey, I should be home late tonight," Zhang Ke said on the phone, a broad smile on his face. "Yes, I'll be home for a very long time this time, I promise to satisfy you, my dear wife!" It was hard to imagine such a natural and sincere smile on someone who had just lost an arm.
While martial artists fought life and death battles outside, family was the deepest tether in their hearts. Luo Feng also dialed home.
"Xiao Feng, ah." Hearing the familiar voice, Luo Feng's eyes stung slightly. He called out, "Mom, I'll probably be home late tonight.
You don't need to wait up for me to eat dinner." "Late tonight?" His mother was clearly surprised and pleased. "Good, good.
Your dad is out keeping your younger brother company. I'll call them over to the phone." "No need, I'll be home tonight," Luo Feng felt a warmth deep in his heart.
This was home, the place he, Luo Feng, was meant to protect. "Luo Feng, come on, let's take the Alliance's dedicated martial artist transport," Gao Feng called out as the others had already started moving.
"Coming." After hanging up, Luo Feng immediately followed the group along the special martial artist passage. At the end of the passage was a small area housing the Extreme Martial Arts School, the Thunder God Martial Arts School, and the Underground Alliance Mall, as well as dedicated vehicles for various families within the Underground Alliance, all waiting at this moment to pick up their martial artists.
Seeing Luo Feng and his group emerge, all the private drivers straightened up attentively. "Let's go, head to the Alliance Mall," Gao Feng and the others entered the Alliance Mall's dedicated car.
"Roger that." Starting the engine, engaging the gear, and stepping on the accelerator, this large, comfortable SUV immediately moved forward. Inside the car.
"Luo Feng, we're almost at the Alliance Mall," Chen Gu chuckled, looking at Luo Feng. "That girl you were interested in last time, Xu Xin, might be there.
Luo Feng, now that you're back from the wilderness, you really need to reconnect with her and have a deep exchange." "You lecherous thing," Gao Feng laughed and scolded, then looked at Luo Feng. "Luo Feng, let me say one thing.
That young lady Xu Xin, becoming the manager of a first-floor bar there at such a young age, is no ordinary person. She probably has some sort of background.
You need to be cautious." Luo Feng nodded. He had felt the same way.
Xu Xin in school had been perfectly ordinary, but in that first-floor bar at the Alliance Mall, Xu Xin's demeanor was entirely different from before. If before she had been completely restrained, now she was exhibiting a faint glimmer of brilliance.
"You're talking about Miss Xu Xin?" The driver in front asked, surprised. "You know Xu Xin?" Luo Feng turned to him.
"Of course, I know her." The driver laughed. "We drive to the mall every day, and we often chat with the other guys, so of course, we know about this Miss Xu Xin.
Don't let her looks fool you—she's not breathtakingly beautiful, but... tsk tsk, if someone could marry her, they'd truly save themselves a lifetime of struggle." Gao Feng's expression shifted slightly: "Could it be that she is from the Xu family, one of the twelve major families in the Alliance domestically?" "Yes, she's from the Xu family.
I heard she holds a very high position within the family," the driver confirmed. Luo Feng was also greatly astonished upon hearing this.
The Alliance was formed by super-family conglomerates from the United States, Europe, and many other countries—truly giant family corporations that controlled the global economy. Even various governments and armies could only coexist peacefully with the Alliance.
Among them— Besides the nine supreme families and conglomerates, the Alliance also included dozens of second-tier families and corporations. Each of these dozens of families and corporations possessed astonishing wealth and terrifying power.
"Damn, that's a massive background," Chen Gu gasped. "I knew the girl's surname was Xu, but I never expected her to be from the Xu family.
Brother Luo Feng, in that case, I can't help you anymore; pursuing this Miss Xu Xin is going to be very difficult." "The difficulty is high, but our Luo Feng is certainly not lacking either," Gao Feng countered. Chen Gu, Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Zhang Ke all started laughing too.
In their eyes, Luo Feng was a Spiritual Force Master, and his future strength would be even more terrifying. "Old Fang." Gao Feng placed a call.
"Yes, it's me. Of course, I have something good I need from you; why else would I call you?
It's definitely something worth over a hundred million. Fine, no problem." After finishing the call, Gao Feng glanced back at the others with a smile.
"I've already spoken to Old Fang. When we get to the mall, we'll go straight upstairs." "Mm." Luo Feng and the others nodded as well.
A short while later— The dedicated vehicle passed through the security line manned by military personnel and drove directly to the main entrance of the Alliance Mall. As the car doors opened, the members of the Fire Hammer Squad stepped out one after another.
"Mr. Gao Feng?
Manager Fang is already waiting for you upstairs," a neat-looking woman with short, sharp hair and an efficient air said with a slight smile. "Mm." Gao Feng and Luo Feng's group didn't say much and directly entered the hall.
In the luxurious first-floor hall, several martial artists were conversing near the bar. Luo Feng's gaze swept towards the bar counter briefly: "She's not here?" Then he realized; these few days were precisely when universities were starting their terms.
Even ordinary universities required military training at the beginning of the semester. Furthermore, today was neither a Saturday nor a Sunday; it wasn't strange for Xu Xin to be absent.
"Ding!" The elevator doors opened, and the Fire Hammer Squad entered the elevator. "Beep!" The woman stood at the elevator entrance, pressed '21', and aimed her pupils at the detector.
"Beep, access granted. Welcome, Miss Liu." "Manager Fang is waiting for you on the 21st floor," the woman said with a smile.
Luo Feng and the others nodded. The elevator ascended rapidly without stopping at any intermediate floor.
In a moment, with a "ding," the elevator doors opened—the 21st floor had been reached. ———— Updating early today, whew, I'm truly sorry about yesterday; Valentine's Day, what can you do?
