Chapter 34
: Sorting Out the Harvest, Gifts and Surprises
"Cheers to our guild's victory!"
"Cheers!"
"You have no idea how fierce I was today. That goblin tried to ambush me, but I chopped it in half with one axe."
"Let's set a time to go down into the abyss together again next time."
"no problem."
The tavern was packed with hunters and guild members, and the waiters were too busy to keep up with the noise.
Jiang Yuan sat by the window and ordered a glass of cherry wine, a grilled fish, steamed mackerel, smoked rhinoceros horn, and spicy pig's trotters...
While the dishes were being served.
He tallied up what he had gained from his descent into the abyss.
First, the level was upgraded to LV9, all attributes increased again, and there were an additional 70 free attribute points that were not used.
Secondly, the materials dropped by various ferocious beasts, even if scattered, should fetch a considerable sum.
Besides that, there are the rewards from killing the mutated blood lion.
357 merit points, which is 3.57 million, plus the 2 million from escorting Liu Shi...
This trip down into the abyss earned Jiang Yuan tens of millions!
"Hiss... No wonder so many people are willing to be lone hunters, it's really lucrative."
Jiang Yuan sighed.
The downside is that you're likely to die; it's not as safe as joining a guild. It's like risking your life to make money.
Moreover, even if an ordinary hunter works himself to the bone in the first or second level abyss, he can only earn a few million a year on average, not even considering expenses.
Jiang Yuan, however, earned in just three days what they couldn't earn in a year.
"One hundred million doesn't seem like much these days."
Thinking of Ji Feiyue, that incredibly aloof and stunning red-haired queen, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but secretly admire her.
She must have foreseen this, which is why she signed the contract with him so decisively before he fell into the abyss. For her, this deal was a sure thing, and she could even make Jiang Yuan feel like he had made a profit. That woman really had some clever tricks up her sleeve.
"Your food is here."
A young waitress brought in the dishes, interrupting Jiang Yuan's thoughts.
Please enjoy your meal.
He took a bite, and his eyes lit up.
The food in this hunter town is truly unique.
They immediately began to feast.
After eating and drinking to one's heart's content.
Jiang Yuan arrived at the materials store, took out all the ordinary ferocious beast materials from his backpack, and packaged them up for sale.
The older shop manager, upon seeing the mountain of materials, gaped and, adjusting his glasses, exclaimed:
"These... these are all yours?!"
I guess so.
"Are you selling them all?"
"Yes, they're all sold. Could you please give me a price?"
In the end, these materials were sold together for 294 million, and it's very likely that some of them were overcharged, but Jiang Yuan couldn't be bothered to care.
Seeing his account balance reach 494 million, Jiang Yuan felt like a rich man for the first time, and he felt very confident when he went shopping.
"Ten doses of gene-enhancing drugs that can increase the potential of Qi and blood."
"Thirty bottles of quick-recovery health potions, please."
"Qingling Powder, it repairs old injuries, nourishes the skin, and even strengthens the kidneys? I'll take ten servings, the best quality."
These were all bought by Jiang Yuan for his parents and his aunt's family.
Finally, they went to a jewelry store and bought a piece of jewelry for Mo Xixi.
[Purple Aura Hairband (Normal): Increases speed by 5 and stamina recovery by 10 when worn]
It has to be said that the price of accessory equipment is really expensive; a regular-grade one costs 66.
After buying it.
Jiang Yuan's account balance: 283 million.
"Money comes quickly, but it goes quickly too."
Jiang Yuan sighed and looked up at the sky.
Let's go back.
…………
Jiang Yuan's aunt's house.
Wearing a tank top and hot pants, with her two long, white legs crossed, Mo Xixi was lying on the sofa eating potato chips and laughing non-stop while watching funny videos on her tablet.
I heard the click of the door opening.
She looked up.
I met Jiang Yuan.
She was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed with delight, "Brother Yuan, you're back?!"
These past few days, Jiang Yuan said he was training with Chen Hao at his house, and his aunt didn't suspect anything, only telling him to be careful.
"Um."
As Jiang Yuan spoke, he tossed her the beautifully packaged jewelry and equipment.
"What is this?"
"A gift I brought for you."
Mo Xixi opened it and exclaimed in disbelief:
"Accessory equipment?!"
"Where did you get this?"
"Don't worry about that, just tell me if you want it or not."
"Yes, I want it!!"
Mo Xixi said excitedly, jumping up from the sofa and hugging Jiang Yuan tightly.
"Yuan-ge is the best!!!"
Before Jiang Yuan could say anything, she quickly jumped down again.
"I'll give it a try!"
Not long after.
Wearing a purple hairband, she rushed out of the room, flung open Jiang Yuan's door with a bang, and shouted at him in disbelief.
"Yuan-ge, did you rob a bank?!"
"Don't talk nonsense," Jiang Yuan said, sitting on the sofa without turning his head.
"These are two different types of accessory equipment, and they're the latest models on the market!!"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"This one is worth at least 500,000! Where did you get so much money if you didn't rob a bank?! No, you didn't earn it by selling your looks, did you? I don't want it!!"
Jiang Yuan was speechless. "What are you thinking? How could that be?"
"Don't worry, it was obtained through legitimate channels. I signed a contract with a guild in advance and used the signing fee to buy it."
Upon hearing this, Mo Xixi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"So that's how it is."
She then asked curiously, "Which guild did you sign with, and how much was your signing fee? It's not one of those ruthless guilds, is it?"
"The Crimson Rose, have you ever heard of it?"
Mo Xixi thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Never heard of it."
"That's right, you haven't heard of it."
Mo Xixi wanted to ask more questions.
Jiang Yuan didn't answer, only saying that he would tell his aunt and uncle when they returned that evening.
