Chapter 249: Storm on the Horizon
Chapter 249: Storm on the Horizon
For the next hour, Ye Ying deeply experienced the feeling of picking up money. As long as she spotted a Monstrous Beast, Jiang Cheng would take it down with a single shot.
Before long, the back of the car was already filled with seven or eight hunted beasts, and there was no more room.
Locking the trunk, Ye Ying glanced at the sky; it wasn't even noon yet, and they were already returning with a full load.
Inside the car, except for the Prairie Wolf, which was a Tier 4 Beast, the remaining six beasts were all Tier 2.
Four Horned Sheep and two Crimson Horned Horses, the latter being slightly more expensive, close to 100,000 each.
In other words, the seven hunted beasts added up to a total of around 600,000, which meant over 300,000 for each person.
It was Ye Ying's first time collaborating with Jiang Cheng, and she had only received 700,000 from their previous task, and now, after just half a day, she was already close to earning that amount again.
What if they had the same luck in the afternoon?
Ye Ying didn't dare to think further.
"Ye Ying."
Jiang Cheng spoke up.
"Hmm?"
Ye Ying snapped out of her thoughts.
"I said, let's head back to White Pine Camp, sell these hunts, and then continue in the afternoon."
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but chuckle.
"Sure, sure."
Ye Ying nodded repeatedly.
At this rate, she might really earn 700,000 in a day! If this continued for the next few days...
The A-Class Mental Weapon she had longed for seemed to be waving at her.
Perhaps with a few more days, she could even afford an S-Class one.
Jiang Cheng shook his head at her reaction.
He was excited, of course, but when he thought about his goal of 10 million, his excitement dampened.
Even at the current rate of 700,000 per day, it would take almost half a year.
That was a bit too long.
If only he could shorten it to seven or eight days, that would be ideal.
To achieve that, relying solely on Tier 3 and 4 Beasts would be challenging; encountering Tier 5 and 6 Beasts would be more feasible.
Afterward, the two got into the car and headed towards White Pine Camp.
Half an hour later, the outline of a building slowly emerged.
Jiang Cheng took a closer look.
The White Pine Camp was surrounded by a four to five-meter-high wall, stretching two to three kilometers in length and about two kilometers wide. There were figures on the wall, holding firearms, seemingly on guard duty.
The number of vehicles around also increased.
Most of them were off-road vehicles, modified in a similar fashion.
The air was filled with a faint bloody scent.
"It's basically safe from here on."
Ye Ying explained, "This is also a rule of the camp; anyone who violates it will become a target. However, the real trouble might just be beginning."
Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement.
Indeed, as they drove in, he had felt numerous malevolent gazes.
Some were probably eyeing Ye Ying in the passenger seat, who always wore a cold expression as if everyone owed her a million, but she was undeniably beautiful.
Others might have noticed the deflated tire, guessing that the trunk was filled with hunts.
This feeling intensified as they queued to pay the entrance fee and enter the camp.
Numerous seemingly idle-looking individuals stood at the entrance, scrutinizing the incoming and outgoing vehicles.
Upon seeing Jiang Cheng's car, their eyes narrowed into slits.
"A storm is brewing," Jiang Cheng sighed inwardly.
After paying the 1,000 yuan daily fee, the two drove into the camp.
Despite its small size, the camp was well-equipped.
Along the road, they arrived at the northeastern corner of the camp, where they spotted the Beast Acquisition Shop. It resembled a massive warehouse, akin to a highway toll station, divided into several lanes. However, the lanes were separated by walls, and vehicles entering from the front had to wait outside until the ones ahead finished their transactions.
The two waited at Lane 3 for over ten minutes until the signal light turned green, signaling their turn to drive in.
Inside, two staff members in red and white uniforms were waiting. One appeared to be in his forties, while the other was younger, seemingly in his early twenties.
Upon seeing Nightingale, the young man's pupils dilated, and he eagerly approached with a smile, "Beautiful lady, are you here to sell your catch?"
Nightingale's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Both of you, do you have any catch to sell?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly approached, bowing slightly, appearing very courteous.
"Yes, there are seven of them. One is a fourth-rank beast, and six are third-rank beasts."
Jiang Cheng said, opening the rear door of the car and unloading the catches one by one.
At this moment, even the middle-aged man couldn't remain calm.
It wasn't that he hadn't seen people bringing in so many catches before, but it was rare to see two people, a man and a woman, returning with this many catches.
As for the young man beside them, he stared with wide eyes, his breathing quickened.
So many catches, the price would be around 700,000 yuan!
Seven hundred thousand!
If he shared this news with those people, they would only need two people to get the job done. With this, he could at least get 70,000 yuan! That's equivalent to a year's hard work here.
"Please count them."
Jiang Cheng smiled at the two.
"Okay, sure."
The middle-aged man quickly came over, carefully examining and recording the details in his notebook.
After a few minutes, he turned to Jiang Cheng, "Young man, these beasts only have one wound each, and the crucial materials are well-preserved. For the fourth-rank Prairie Wolf, we can offer 180,000 yuan.
"For the two Crimson Horned Horses, 90,000 yuan each, and for the four Horned Sheep, we can offer 70,000 yuan each, totaling 640,000 yuan. Do you have any opinions on this? If so, we can discuss further."
Jiang Cheng looked at Nightingale.
The latter nodded slightly.
The price offered by the other party was quite fair.
Of course, the main reason was that they had earned enough this time, and she really didn't feel like haggling over a difference of one or two thousand yuan.
"Alright, then 640,000 yuan it is."
Jiang Cheng nodded.
"Okay, do you prefer a bank transfer or cash payment?"
"Please divide the money into two portions, 320,000 yuan each. My portion can be transferred."
Jiang Cheng said.
"My portion can be transferred as well." Nightingale glanced at Jiang Cheng.
"Okay, please provide your bank account details, and make sure they are correct. Otherwise, if the transfer goes to the wrong person, we won't be held responsible."
The middle-aged man smiled.
Soon, the transfer was completed.
The two exchanged a smile.
Seeing this, the young man also approached with a wide grin, full of admiration, "You two, I truly admire you. The two of you brought back so many catches, others would be lucky to have half of what you have. Your strength must be exceptional, right?"
