Chapter 260: Mission Accomplished
Chapter 260: Mission Accomplished
Unbeknownst to them, time had flown by, and it was already past one in the afternoon.
The truck's cargo hold was filled with their prey.
From the sixth-rank Black Savage Ox to the fifth-rank Black Mane Pigs, and down to the fourth-rank Prairie Wolves, third-rank Horned Sheep...
If not for the limited carrying capacity, Jiang Cheng would have loved to continue hunting until nightfall.
Nightingale, sitting beside him, was at a loss for words.
Over twenty Monstrous Beasts, with third-rank ones making up half of them, and the rest being fourth, fifth, and sixth-rank, even a conservative estimate put their total value at over three million.
Dividing this among them would mean at least one and a half million each.
Her goal of purchasing an A-class Psychic Weapon was instantly achieved, and if they had a similar harvest tomorrow, even a slightly smaller amount would be enough to buy an S-class weapon.
To be honest, she hadn't expected things to go this smoothly.
"Cang Hai, thank you."
The next moment, she turned to Jiang Cheng and said sincerely.
"Thank me? Haha, no need for formalities, it's a win-win collaboration."
Jiang Cheng chuckled.
Not to mention anything else, but just look at yesterday's battle.
He hadn't even lifted a finger, and Nightingale had handled everything.
If it were him, even if he could win, it would be a tough fight, and it was impossible to finish it in just a few seconds.
"Hmm!"
Nightingale nodded firmly.
She had never been as certain as she was at that moment that inviting Jiang Cheng was the best decision she had ever made.
"The cargo hold is already full, and we should head back. It took us over an hour to get here, and now that we've gone so far out, it'll probably take us two hours to return. So, let's call it a day for today's hunt."
"Alright."
Nightingale nodded, as she had wanted to say the same.
Earning over a million in a day, what more could she ask for?
The two drove onto the main road, heading back towards White Pine Camp.
The journey back was relatively smooth, with no major dangers, although they occasionally felt like they were being watched.
As they reached the entrance to the camp, this feeling intensified.
Anyone with some experience could deduce from the state of the tires that the truck was either fully loaded or close to it.
After seeing the truck drive away, someone cursed, "Damn, those two went out and came back with who knows how many prey. Even if they're all third-rank Monstrous Beasts, each one is worth a million!"
"Yeah, and if there are fourth or fifth-rank beasts inside, two million won't even cover it!"
"No way?"
Others expressed their doubts.
"Is hunting this easy these days? Getting two or three in a whole day is already considered good. How could they return with a truckload of prey after being gone for so short a time?"
"Yeah, I don't think it's that simple either. Maybe they're carrying something else?"
"Why not ask someone?"
"And if we do? Do you dare to rob them? We should consider ourselves lucky if they don't come to rob us."
As the words fell, the surroundings became noticeably quieter, and many restless hearts calmed down.
Indeed, Chen Jun's group had been completely wiped out, and their truck was taken as a prize by the victors.
How could these people compare to Chen Jun's group?
What about joining forces?
It was an option.
But first, everyone was a thousand-year-old turtle, and they would undoubtedly scheme against each other.
And second, even if they succeeded in the end, with so many people, how much would each get? Would it be worth the enormous risk they'd be taking?
3rd Channel.
Cong Yu, along with the others, stared at the row of prey before them, their jaws dropping.
Twenty-two Monstrous Beasts!
Including three sixth-rank ones! At this moment, even Cong Yu began to question his life choices.
He had been working here for several years and had seen hunting parties of a dozen or more, but such groups often disbanded due to meager profits.
However, it was rare to see a hunting duo achieve such success, though he couldn't say it was impossible.
"Young man, you two are incredible!"
He turned and gave them a thumbs-up.
"Just luck," Jiang Cheng smiled, "Brother, could you please tally the total and estimate the price?"
"Sure, I'll do it now," Cong Yu replied.
Cong Yu walked over to the side of the three 6th Rank Beasts, inspecting and calling out prices as he went.
After nearly ten minutes, the total was calculated.
3.26 million.
"Young man, I'll round it up to 3.3 million for you," Cong Yu said with a smile.
"Alright, then I'll have to thank you, brother," Jiang Cheng smiled.
The estimate was close to what he had calculated on the road.
Including the existing 1.5 to 1.6 million, his total funds now exceeded 3 million.
If he included the deposit paid earlier, he had already surpassed half of the 7.2 million.
At this rate, it seemed not too difficult to gather the remaining half.
"Young man, do you have any other items to sell in your vehicle?" Cong Yu asked, blinking.
Jiang Cheng understood and couldn't help but laugh, "Brother, what are you thinking? We're honest people."
"I understand, I understand," Cong Yu nodded hastily.
Indeed, if they could earn millions by hunting honestly, why risk their lives by stealing from others? The previous gun owners must have been unable to resist the temptation to rob these two, but they lost their lives in the attempt.
After the money was transferred, the two rested at the hotel.
Jiang Cheng had intended to visit the trading house to inquire about the progress, but after careful thought, he decided it would be the same if he waited a couple more days to accumulate more funds.
Two days passed.
During these two days, the duo continued their routine, setting out early in the morning.
The area around White Pine Camp was vast, and unlike in games, monsters didn't respawn after being killed.
Consequently, their hunting trips took longer.
From the afternoon, one o'clock to two, then three, on the third day, the cargo hold was only seven-tenths full.
If they continued for another day or two, the yield would likely be even lower.
Fortunately, a group had ill intentions and launched an attack while the two were unloading their catch.
With Nightingales assistance, Jiang Cheng didn't even need to dodge. He stood his ground and took them out with precise shots.
Three of the four attackers died, and the last one, attempting to escape by car, was stopped by Jiang Cheng, who shot out his tires. Nightingales swiftly finished him off.
They confiscated several guns, making up for some lost income.
As they drove back, Jiang Cheng was in high spirits.
After returning, they would sell the catch and guns from the car, adding to yesterday's income, exceeding 3 million.
In other words, they had accumulated the 7.2 million needed for the Lotus Visualization Technique.
Of course, it was rare to find such a quick money-making method.
Jiang Cheng planned to stay a few more days. After all, even with 7.2 million, he had only reached the mastery level in the Lotus Visualization Technique, and his spiritual power was just at the level of a First Rank Mind Master. He had only just begun.
However, Nightingales next words caught him off guard.
