"The train is about to enter the station. Customers that are getting off, please prepare your belongings" a recorded sound rang throughout the train carriage, and with a 'hua' sound, the train carriage's door opened.
"Go!"
Gao Feng, Luo Feng, Zhang Ke, Chen Gu, and the Wei Jia brothers all walked out.
"So many people" Luo Feng stepped out the train and saw a huge amount of tourists in the train station. Tons of densely packed people could be seen waiting for the train through the glass of the train station. A main city in a headquarter city has a population of over 100 million, so one can imagine how lively it would be in a train station there!
This is called popularity, steaming popularity!
"Brothers, thank the weapons in our hands, for we have once again returned to the city alive!" said Gao Feng thankfully.
"We're back"
"Back to a human city"
Luo Feng was also shocked inside. Even though he was in the wilderness for only seven, eight days, it was desolate, ruined, and empty. The cities in the wilderness can't even be recognized as cities. There were huge amounts of monsters, so Luo Feng and the others always had to tread carefully in fear of being surrounded by them.
Only headquarter cities! These are the only safe places for humans to live in! These are the places where civilization exists!
"Headquarter cities, the final base for humanity" a thought rose from Luo Feng's heart, "It's for humanity's cities that powerful fighters stand up! As for me, I can easily kill regular soldier level monsters and even low level commander level monsters. However, even with weapons, a regular person would be in an extremely bad situation against a commander level monster".
Why do countries give fighters special rights?
Why does the entire world encourage fighters to hunt monsters?
Because the more monsters that are hunted, the safer the human cities become.
"Hello, I'll probably be able to return home late into the night today" Zhang Ke held his phone with a smile on his face, "Yea, I'll be staying home for an extremely long time, so I'll be sure to please my great wife!". Who could've thought that someone who lost his arm could have such an honest, natural smile on his face at this time.
Deep down inside, the fighters that fight on the border of life and death in the wilderness are always worried about their families.
Luo Feng also called his home's phone.
"Feng"
Luo Feng's eyes became uncomfortable as he heard this familiar sound, and he responded, "Mom, I'll probably get back home late in the night, so you guys don't have to wait for me to eat dinner".
"Tonight?" his mom was clearly joyful, "Alright, alright, your dad is outside with your brother, I'll tell them to pick up the phone".
"No need, I'll be back tonight" Luo Feng's heart felt warm.
This is home, the place Luo Feng defends.
"Luo Feng, go, ride the HR alliance's special fighter-only car" commanded Gao Feng. The others have already started to leave.
"Coming"
Luo Feng hung up and immediately joined the others. They rode on a fighter-exclusive path. At the end of the path was a small area, where there were special cars from the Dojo of Limits, Thunder Dojo, HR alliance, and even some underground alliances waiting for their fighters.
As they saw Luo Feng and the others come out, all the chauffeurs cheered up.
"Go, go to the alliance market" Gao Feng and the others directly went into the alliance market's car.
"Alright"
The large, comfortable SUV was started, locked, and with a step on the gas pedal, moved forward.
Inside the car.
"Luo Feng, we'll be at the alliance market soon" laughed Chen Gu as he looked at Luo Feng, "Maybe that Xu Xin chick from last time is still there. Luo Feng, now that you're back from the wilderness, you better get your feelings across and get that relationship started".
"You pervert" scolded Gao Feng as he laughed, and then looked towards Luo Feng, "Luo Feng, a word of advice. That little girl Xu Xin managed to become a bar manager in that lobby at such a young age, so she's not just anyone. She probably has some sort of background, so watch for that".
Luo Feng nodded.
He also had the same feeling. In school, Xu Xin was extremely normal. However, at the bar in the alliance market's lobby, the air around Xu Xin was completely different. If we say she was completely shy in the past, then now she's shining like a bright light.
"Are you guys talking about lady Xu Xin?" asked the driver in a surprised tone.
"You know Xu Xin?" Luo Feng looked towards him,
"Of course I do" laughed the driver, "We're always going to the alliance market, so all us brothers that go there to chat obviously know about lady Xu Xin. Even though she isn't extremely pretty..... hehe, whoever can marry her would have an extremely relaxing life"
Gao Feng's face slightly changed, "Don't tell me that she's from one of the great 12 families of the alliance in the country, the Xu family".
"Yes, precisely the Xu family. I heard that the Xu family's status in the country is pretty high" said the driver as he nodded.
Luo Feng was also surprised as he heard this.
The alliance is made out of super rich families and corporations from America, Europe, etc. You can say that all the large and powerful families from the whole world formed an alliance together. They control the world's economy together and all the governments' armies have no choice but to peacefully coexist with them.
And--
in the alliance, besides the nine large families at the top, there are still dozens of other families that are rank 1 in the alliance, corporations aside.
Each of these families hold an astonishing amount of wealth and an astonishing amount of power.
"Fuck, that's too much of a background" glared Chen Gu, "I knew this girl's name was Xu, but I didn't think she'd be from the Xu family. Luo Feng brother, even big bro can't help you get this girl Xu Xin, it's too hard"
"It is hard, but our Luo Feng ain't bad at all" said Gao Feng.
Chen Gu, Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Zhang Ke all started laughing.
From their point of view, Luo Feng is a spirit reader whose strength will only become more horrifying.
"Old Fang"
Gao Feng spoke through his phone" Yea, it's me. Of course we have something good for you, or else why would I call you? It's worth over 100 million for sure. Alright, no problem" after calling, Gao Feng looked at the others in the eye, "I told old Fang. When we get to the alliance market, we'll directly go upstairs".
"Okay" Luo Feng and the others nodded.
Moments later -
The special car passed the soldiers' security line and directly drove to the gate of the alliance market's lobby. The members of the fire hammer squad all got off the car as its doors opened.
"Mr. Gao Feng, manager Fang is already waiting upstairs" smiled a seemingly capable, pretty woman with short hair and ears.
"Okay"
Gao Feng, Luo Feng, and the others didn't say much more and directly went into the lobby.
In the extravagant lobby, there were quite a bit of fighters chatting in the direction of the bar. Luo Feng's gaze scanned the bar: "Not here?". Then he realized that college begins around this date, and even regular colleges undergo military training when they first begin.
And today isn't a weekend, so it's not weird that Xu Xin isn't here.
"DING!"
The elevator door opened and the members of the fire hammer squad went in.
"BEEP!" The woman stood in front of the elevator door and pressed '21'. She then aligned her eyes with a detector, "BEEP, pass, welcome lady Liu".
"Manager Fang is waiting on the 21st floor" smiled the woman.
Luo Feng and the others nodded.
The elevator quickly went up and didn't stop until they got there. In just a bit, "DING", the elevator door opened. They arrived on the 21st floor.
Chapter 57: Price, Ecstasy
"Manager Fang is inside, please go ahead" lady Liu directly brought Luo Feng and the others into manager Fang's office.
In the office, Luo Feng looked around. The ornaments around were sparkling and the floor was made out of toughened glass. Below the toughened glass was a river with fish swimming in it. One can see quite a bit of fish below while standing on top of the toughened glass.
"How luxurious" Luo Feng thought to himself.
"Gao Feng, looks like you guys really made a bit this time" a bald, old man with a round face left his seat and laughed as he walked over, "Here, come over and sit".
The group sat on the sofas facing each other on the side of the office.
"So, what do you have this time?" the round faced old man laughed as he said, "Let's see it".
"Old Fang, I'll open your eyes this time" laughed Gao Feng, "A big manager like you receives quite a bit of fighter squads, but you'll rarely see something like this. Luo Feng, take it out".
"Oh?" manager Fang was shocked and his eyes lit up.
Luo Feng laughed as he saw manager Fang's reaction as he took out the precious fur of the silver moon wolf from the backpack beside his feet. He put the fur on the ground and spread it out. As if it was a flat silver moon wolf, you could feel the killing intent of the silver moon wolf from it.
"Hunter!" manager Fang was so shocked that he couldn't help but to stand up.
"There there" manager Fang was so shocked that he couldn't help but to speak in his hometown's dialect, "Old Gao, this sure is something. For a hunter to be this large, it's probably a high level commander. WIth the silver moon wolf's speed, even a powerful man who just stepped into the wargod level would have trouble killing it".
The silver moon wolf's speed was indeed shocking. When it was heavily injured, it could reach the speed of sound! One could imagine how fast it would be if it wasn't injured!
"Hm hm, the fur is quite complete" inspected manager Fang, "Looks like the fur was cut along the wound. However..... it is indeed quite complete". Manager Fang's eyes flashed. The fur of a silver moon wolf is indeed one of the finest materials for clothes in the entire world.
Even though this fur had other uses, important figures of the world were willing to buy clothes made out of this fur for high prices.
"Give me a second" manager Fang directly ran over to his office desk.
And he swiftly took out a locked safe and, while holding it, ran back.
"Gao Feng, you guys don't have to prolong this anymore. Just take out all the other materials of the hunter" laughed manager Fang as he persuaded. At the same time, he opened the locked safe, which contained a delicate apparatus. After activating it, a red light shone from the top of the apparatus.
Luo Feng took out the other things one by one.
The special eyes, claws, fangs, the bones of the legs.....
"Quite a complete collection"
Manager Fang's eyes were filled with light as the apparatus shone its red light on the fur, and soon after, the eyes, claws, fangs..... The apparatus displayed a number on its small screen. Manager Fang's expression was serious as he stared at the number, and at the same time, typed the information through a virtual keyboard. Moments later--
"Hm"
"These materials are indeed from the same hunter. And this hunter, is indeed a high level commander!" right when manager Fang finished saying that, Gao Feng laughed on the side as he said, "It should be a high level commander that's nearing the horde leader level!".
Even in the category of high level commander level monsters, there are large differences.
Monsters that just stepped into the high level commander level and high level commander level monsters that are nearing the horde leader level could have huge differences in strength. Naturally, the prices of their materials differ greatly too.
"Hehe, of course, I can't hide that point from you guys" laughed manager Fang, "Alright, name your price".
The members of the fire hammer squad looked at each other, and Gao Feng's look signalled Luo Feng.
Luo Feng laughed as he spoke, "Manager Fang, what do you think is an appropriate price?". In the 'Home of Limits' and the HR alliance's internet market, there were many prices for a hunter. Luo Feng clearly knew that a high level commander level monster would sell for a lower price to the Dojo of Limits because the Dojo of Limits would give quite a bit of contribution points in return.
As for the HR alliance market, high level commander level monsters are normally in the 50 million to 500 million dollars range.
Of course, a hunter is naturally strong, rare, and is the king of the wolves, so its price also has to go above the normal price limit.
"How about this, these materials are indeed good. 600 million Chinese dollars!" said manager Fang after taking a deep breath.
Even for him, he rarely makes such huge business.
Materials from low level horde leader level monsters also usually go for this price.
Gao Feng, Luo Feng, and the others already discussed the price before coming here. Luo Feng read in the fighter discussion boards that someone sold a 'medium level commander level' hunter for around 50 million earth dollars in South America.
50 million earth dollars is equivalent to 175 million Chinese dollars.
If a medium level commander level hunter can sell for this much, then this high level commander level should be worth much more, especially since its already nearing the horde leader level.
"Old Fang, your price is too low" said Gao Feng as he frowned, "A medium level commander level hunter could already sell for 175 million Chinese dollars in South America. 900 million to 1 billion dollars shouldn't be a problem for ours".
"Gao Feng, don't play around with me. It could never reach the price of 900 million to 1 billion" laughed manager Fang bitterly.
Luo Feng laughed as he saw this.
Actually, the squad came to the conclusion that this hunter should be able to sell for around 700 to 800 million while they were discussing. Captain Gao Feng was just scaring manager Fang by saying this.
"Hunting this silver moon wolf costed the arm of my brother" said Gao Feng with an ugly face, "I won't say anymore..... 800 million Chinese dollars! If you accept, then we have a deal. Otherwise, I can find someone else. Because of our relationship, I directly came to old Fang without finding anyone else first".
Manager Fang glanced at Zhang Ke, indeed.....
Zhang Ke lost an arm.
"Looks like manager Fang can't pay this price. Let's go" Gao Feng stood up, and Luo Feng immediately started packing up the materials of the silver moon wolf.
"750 million, my limit" said manager Fang as he frowned.
However, Gao Feng didn't make a sound, and Luo Feng directly finished packing up.
"Go" Gao Feng started heading out.
"Gao Feng, 750 million is pretty good already" sighed manager Fang. As he saw Gao Feng and the others heading out, he yelled, "Come back, we'll do your price!"
Luo Feng, Gao Feng, Chen Gu, and the others at the door looked at each other and let out a smile.
There were a few dozen managers purchasing monsters' materials in the HR alliance market. The HR alliance market goes by an elimination system. In other words, those who perform the worst every year directly have their position of manager taken away from them. Naturally, a new person comes to replace them. Under such pressure......
Naturally, every manager tries to figure out how to collect monsters' materials from fighters.
In the office.
"You fighters are too cruel now" said manager Fang as he was working on the transaction, but he also thanked, "Each mana
ger and even each agent from every sector are all competing against each other to purchase materials from the fighters. As the prices become clearer and clearer, our profits become lower and lower. Seeing how you guys just made 800 million in one breath, it even makes old me want to go hunt monsters in the wilderness. Sadly, an old bag of bones like me probably can't even beat a soldier level monster".
As he said that, manager Fang was conducting the transactions to each account.
"Manager Fang, your personal assets probably surpass mine with all your meddling these years" laughed Gao Feng.
"Luck. Sometimes I'll encounter something big, and I'll be able to make a bunch of money" manager Fang let out a smile.
Gao Feng laughed: "With this, you're probably going to make at least eight digits worth of profit"
"Not that much" manager Fang shook his head, "Okay, done. I transferred 800 million Chinese dollars into your fighter squad's account".
Gao Feng, and vice captain Chen Gu received notices from their tactical communications watch notifying them the increase of 800 million Chinese dollars in their accounts.
"Old Fang, feels great" laughed Gao Feng.
"You better take care of me with such hauls in the future" laughed manager Fang, "Now, us managers are also under great pressure. If I can somehow become a regional director of a headquarter city's sector, then I'll have things easy".
"Yea" nodded Gao Feng, "However, powerful monsters are hard to deal with, my brother lost his arm".
"Ah, yes, losing an arm....." sighed manager Fang as he sighed, "Although I heard there's a treasure that can make an arm grow again. However, the price of that is extraordinarily high, so a regular fighter would never be able to obtain it".
"Regrow an arm?" Luo Feng's mind was clouded.
Right when he became a fighter, Luo Feng also searched for such a special medicine in the internet market. However, he couldn't find any medicine that could regrow an arm or a leg. Luo Feng always thought...... that such a medicine didn't exist.
"There's such a medicine?" Gao Feng also said out of surprise.
"Manager Fang, what is that thing? Can it regrow a leg too?" Luo Feng also asked excitedly.
