However, Luo Feng was also very clear about how incredibly difficult earning thirty billion would be! A low-level Lord-level monster, one of the weaker ones, could fetch five to one billion Huaxia coins.

Even if he hunted them alone, killing ten Lord-level creatures in a year would only earn him perhaps five or six billion. It was important to remember that even for Wargod-level powerhouses, hunting Lord-level monsters was immensely difficult.

Earning five or six billion a year was considered mid-tier even among Wargod-level experts. Even so, it would take six or seven years of grueling work.

Moreover, he wasn't a Wargod-level powerhouse right now. Encountering that severely injured 'Hunter' this time was pure luck; how could he rely on luck every time?

“Earning thirty billion Huaxia coins, while difficult, is not impossible if I strive with all my might, leveraging my potential as a psychic energy master.” “But, killing the Earth Dragon King?” Luo Feng sighed inwardly with a wry smile. Lord-level creatures were already terrifying enough.

And those existing beyond the Lord level—the King level—were the absolute apex of all monsters on Earth! Similarly, among humans, there were beings surpassing the Wargod level, such as the world’s strongest, ‘Hong,’ and the second strongest, ‘Thunder God.’ But such individuals were exceedingly rare!

To kill the Earth Dragon King? Even the peak human experts on Earth wouldn’t dare claim absolute certainty.

“Haha, Water of Life? Captain, when you few guys become the world’s strongest, like ‘Hong,’ just toss a small piece of change my way to buy me some Water of Life,” Zhang Ke chuckled, and the members of the Hammer Squad couldn’t help but laugh along.

Reaching Hong’s level? A person capable of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with a governmental army—three hundred billion was indeed trivial money to them.

But how many in the world could ever reach that tier? “Let’s go eat!” Gao Feng said with a smile.

※※※ On the third floor of the HR Alliance Mall, within a private room at a restaurant, a lavish spread of dishes covered the table. The members of the Hammer Squad were gathered around a laptop at the edge of the room.

Captain ‘Gao Feng’ swiftly authenticated with a fingerprint scan and triple dynamic password input, accessing the Hammer Squad’s shared account. “Eight hundred million Huaxia coins.

As previously agreed. Since obtaining that Hunter this time was entirely Luo Feng’s merit from start to finish, Luo Feng gets the highest share—‘eighty percent.’ The remaining twenty percent will be split among the other five of us.

Any objections?” Gao Feng looked around at everyone. The others nodded, and Luo Feng also smiled.

The various distribution rules in a martial artist squad had to balance fostering competition among members while also ensuring unity. “Luo Feng gets 640 million, and we each get 32 million,” Gao Feng quickly initiated the transfers.

“Beep.” “Transfer successful.” Notifications popped up on the computer one after another. Luo Feng also lowered his head to look at his communicator watch, which had already received the notification of the balance change—his balance had increased by another 640 million.

“Luo Feng is treating tonight!” Gao Feng shouted cheerfully. “That’s right, we need to fleece the rich guy,” Chen Gu exclaimed with mock indignation, “Damn it, this single haul is almost what I’ve earned over so many years.

It’s truly envy-inducing.” The members of the Hammer Squad chatted casually, eating heartily and drinking freely, thoroughly enjoying themselves. Every time they emerged from the wilderness, they had essentially walked back from the edge of death!

In the wilderness, especially upon entering the ruined urban districts, every moment was spent with anxiety churning in their guts. No one dared to let their guard down in those cities… after all, hordes of monsters, and Warlord-level beasts, were far too numerous there.

“Cheers!” “Come on, brother, let’s have a drink.” “Fantastic. Old Zhang, we’ve been brothers for nearly ten years now.

You saved my life countless times on the battlefield. No need for many words, come on, one for us.” This table held a bittersweet atmosphere.

It was tinged with the sadness of Zhang Ke’s impending departure, but also filled with hope for the future brought by the new addition, Luo Feng, the psychic energy master. Everyone’s emotions were complex, so they drank and talked freely until past nine in the evening, when the group moved to a nearby teahouse and secured a private room to rest.

In the room, a cup of clear tea sat before each person. “Zhang Ke will be entering a martial arts hall as an ‘instructor’ from now on,” Gao Feng surveyed the group.

“Our Hammer Squad will now be five people! Me, Luo Feng, Chen Gu, Wei Tie, and Wei Qing!

And since Luo Feng is a psychic energy master, he’s already stronger than me now, and his rate of progress will certainly be even more astonishing.” No one was unhappy that Luo Feng was strong. Having a powerhouse in the team meant a higher survival rate for the group!

It made hunting monsters easier! And it led to greater earnings!

For example, if Luo Feng hadn’t killed the Hunter this time, how would the others have earned 32 million? Even though Luo Feng took the main portion, the others only got a sip of the soup, but that sip was much more than what they had earned painstakingly hunting Beast Generals previously.

“However, among the five of us, Luo Feng is the strongest. I think we all must ensure we don’t hold Luo Feng back!” Gao Feng stated.

Wei Qing and Wei Tie’s expressions shifted slightly. Both of them were ‘Advanced Warrior Level,’ and they truly lagged behind.

“Captain, I’m also a newcomer,” Luo Feng couldn’t help but say. “Luo Feng, that’s not what I meant,” Gao Feng smiled faintly.

“Wei Tie, Wei Qing, don’t overthink it, brothers… What I mean is, our squad’s target for monster hunting from now on needs to be set much higher! Therefore, the primary goal for the Hammer Squad—is for every single member to reach the Warlord Level!” “Captain…” Wei Tie finally spoke up, “My younger brother and I are still some distance away from the Warlord Level.” “I understand that.” Gao Feng smiled confidently.

“I have an idea, see if you guys like it.” Luo Feng nodded, and Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Chen Gu all listened intently. “Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Chen Gu, the three of you will each purchase an A-grade genetic potion,” Gao Feng announced.

“If you do this, purely based on physical quality, Wei Tie and Wei Qing could directly advance to the ‘Junior Warlord Level,’ and Chen Gu’s strength and speed would improve dramatically, nearly reaching Warlord Level.” Luo Feng frowned slightly. The prevailing genetic potions nowadays were divided into A-grade and B-grade.

B-grade was for ordinary people, allowing them to become martial artists! However, those who became martial artists through potions generally had very limited future potential.

A-grade genetic potions were for existing martial artists. After consumption, one’s strength generally doubled!

Of course, if one was already extremely powerful, the effect of the potion would be reduced. But one A-grade genetic potion, even at half price from the Limit Martial Arts Center, cost 360 million Huaxia coins!

“Captain, after all these years of struggle, plus today’s earnings, I only have 430 million,” Wei Tie frowned. “With my current rate of progress, Junior Warlord Level is almost my ceiling.

In the future, my earning potential will be limited. To pour all my money into this at once—if I quit later, how much will I have left?” One had to plan for the future.

Money wasn't easy to earn; struggling for over a decade only brought in 430 million. Plus, he was already older; spending 360 million on a genetic potion all at once?

Wouldn't all these years of hard work be sunk into it? “Captain, I rely heavily on thermal weapons, so my expenses are already huge.

This is another 360 million,” Chen Gu also hesitated. “Don’t worry.” Gao Feng smiled faintly.

“Purchasing A-grade genetic potions doesn't require that much money. When I first became a martial artist, I was a rookie.

The martial artist squad I joined back then had a brother I considered a brother in life and death. That brother of mine is now a High-Level Warlord!

He has connections; he can procure a genetic potion for only two hundred million.” “Two hundred million?” Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Chen Gu were utterly shocked. “This, two hundred million?” Luo Feng was stunned as well.

The official online store for the Limit Home generally quoted its so-called half-price as the lowest market rate. Even half-price was 360 million; how could Gao Feng acquire one for just 200 million through his connections?

“I will first entrust my good brother to purchase them. After he buys them, you can pay me back in exchange for the potion.

You all trust that much, right?” Gao Feng smiled. He actually had more to say, which was that his brother’s internal organization offered special discounts specifically for internal members.

And to prevent internal members from reselling, if they bought more, the organization would even raise the price on subsequent purchases. However...

Gao Feng would rather spend some extra money himself than let Chen Gu, Wei Tie, and Wei Qing drain their meager savings. After all, in terms of wealth, he had far more than the others in the squad.

“From now on, our entire squad will be composed of Warlords,” Gao Feng said with a slight smile. “Chen Gu will handle suppressing fire, Wei Tie and Wei Qing will focus on clearing out ordinary Soldier-level monsters, and Gao Feng and I will concentrate on dealing with Beast General-level monsters!

With our squad’s efficiency, we can absolutely kill a massive number of Beast General-level monsters, and our earning rate in the future will be ten times, or even higher than, what it was before.” Luo Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart. According to Gao Feng’s vision, the future Hammer Squad would become absolute elites.

A full Warlord lineup, plus himself as a psychic energy master—the strength of this squad would be insane. ———— 。。
