CHAPTER 63: CHAPTER 32: REUNION WITH SASA

Despite the fact that many of these 412 materials come from harmless and ordinary-level demons, and aren’t worth much, obtaining such a large haul from a single Abyss hunt is simply not humanly possible.

If the AI knew that over three hundred of these materials were collected by Yan Luo within twenty-two hours, it would be even more astonished.

The AI does not inquire where these materials come from. As a service-oriented AI of the Hunter’s Guild, its main job is to help hunters tally their hauls; beyond that, its programming doesn’t require it to ask about the source of the hunter’s gains.

pieces of material have an average price of 4,000, while the remaining 110 pieces have a minimum price of over 10,000, with the most expensive materials being worth as much as 800,000.

Thus, the sum total of the 412 materials Yan Luo has produced amounts to 5 million!

Other hunters cannot easily locate the demons’ tracks and pinpoint their positions, let alone devise the most suitable tactics to deal with them according to their characteristics in a short period of time, like Yan Luo can.

The majority of hunters’ hunts are not precise. Their battles with demons resemble a warrior’s duel more—using firearms and ammunition to deplete the demons’ deflective shields, and then launching an all-out attack once the shield is weakened to a certain degree.

As a result, most hunters can’t obtain gains equivalent to Yan Luo’s within the same time frame.

It takes them the time to kill one demon, whereas Yan Luo could hunt three of the same level, or even more.

Yan Luo, after all, slaughtered non-stop for twenty-two hours, killing an unknown number of dangerous-level demons, and even slaughtered a fatal-level demon. Achieving a gain of 5 million is only to be expected.

Of course, this is merely the theoretical selling price.

The Hunter’s Guild doesn’t directly purchase the materials Yan Luo has; these materials are consigned to the guild, and information about them will be precisely pushed through the guild’s channels right under the noses of each potential buyer.

The actual sale price may be lower, but it may also be higher, as the guild takes a commission, and the higher the sale price, the larger the commission they can earn.

Once Yan Luo confirmed he would consign all the materials, the AI then transferred all of Yan Luo’s hauls out.

Yan Luo picked up the space box, which reverted back to being empty, and left the compartment.

Many eyes were fixed on the compartment door, and the moment Yan Luo stepped out, someone approached him.

"How did it go? How much did you sell them for?"

Yan Luo glanced around, his lips slightly curving upwards, as he gestured with his hand.

"A million?!" People were shocked.

Obtaining a haul worth a million from a single Abyss hunt is exceedingly rare for low-level hunters.

Yan Luo is an ordinary person; dealing with dangerous-level demons is almost the limit of his abilities, as for fatal-level demons... according to his own words, it’s a life and death situation.

People wouldn’t know that Yan Luo’s haul this time was more than just a million; however, this is something Yan Luo would never actively disclose himself.

He intends to conceal his special attributes as much as possible, for as long as he can.

Yan Luo picked up the space box and left, but did not immediately go home, heading instead to the business department of a food market to contact the market manager.

Crimson No.2 has several food markets, all assets under the same company. This company, named ’Pearl Agri-Livestock,’ manages the vertical agriculture buildings of Crimson No.2, and the food people eat comes from this company.

Even the supply channels for mutated biological meat are controlled by Pearl Agri-Livestock.

People in Crimson No.2 wanting to eat mutated biological meat have either to go hunting themselves or buy it from Pearl Agri-Livestock.

Yan Luo now has money, and he buys more mutated biological meat to obscure his actual abilities, needing to purchase a large amount of mutated biological meat. Naturally, he would use Pearl Agri-Livestock’s channels.

For the valuable client that is Yan Luo, the market manager put in every effort to let Yan Luo feel his sincerity, hoping Yan Luo would purchase more products from him.

His attitude was indeed good, so Yan Luo ended up buying 10% more mutated biological meat.

Even though it’s only 10%, the total amount Yan Luo purchased was substantial.

The manager enthusiastically escorted Yan Luo out of the office, his face full of celebratory smiles.

Yan Luo left the food market and headed straight home.

He still had some remaining magic power in his body that hadn’t been fully digested; he needed to hurry up and train to convert the magic power into his strength.

......

Yan Luo trained at home for three days without leaving, except for the food market delivery personnel delivering mutated biological meat to his doorstep every day, he didn’t see anyone else.

He thought this lifestyle rhythm would be maintained until the next Abyss hunt, unexpectedly, on the third day, there was a knock on the home door.

The visitor was Sasa, and with Yan Luo’s permission, the villa’s gate automatically opened, and she came directly to Yan Luo, anxiously asking, "Yan Luo, how are you? Are you okay?"

Yan Luo was naturally confused, "I’m standing right here, of course I’m fine. Why would you ask such a thing?"

"I heard people say you’ve gone crazy, engaging in close combat with a fatal-level demon, and being particularly deranged during the fight," Sasa candidly informed.

Yan Luo went silent.

Deeply silent.

After a while, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and sighed as if resigning himself to fate, asking, "How many people know about this matter?"

Sasa blinked and answered, "The entire convoy knows."

She looked up at Yan Luo, noticing his face was full of helplessness.

Yan Luo knew what Sasa meant by the convoy; he knew early on that the research team from Lingquan University was going to employ a batch of hunters to enter the Abyss for research activities.

Not only the hunters but even the researchers from Lingquan University saw his frenzied side.

Yan Luo sighed again and said, "I followed your training plan to find demons for close-quarter combat. I originally found the trace of a dangerous-level Wild Wolf, but when I actually went there, it was fighting a Stone-armored Bear. The Wild Wolf was no match for the Stone-armored Bear and was killed by it, its corpse scattered as magic power, then reformed into a material. This material looked like a piece of meat emitting a strange fragrance. The Stone-armored Bear intended to eat it, but I charged over barehanded, with no place to store items on me, so I ate that piece of meat. I didn’t anticipate that piece of ’meat’ being Berserk Blood, hence... it became what you saw."

Sasa was stunned; she hadn’t anticipated such a convoluted process.

A moment later, Sasa reacted, screaming, "Wait a second, you saw with your own eyes the process of a demon turning into material after being killed by another demon? Did you record it? No, did you consume an entire piece of Berserk Blood?!"

Even the Engravers of the [Vajra] and [Undead] sequences dare not consume Berserk Blood whole; it’s necessary to dilute it first.

Not only did Yan Luo consume a piece of undiluted Berserk Blood, but he still appeared completely unaffected.

No, he couldn’t possibly be unaffected!

Something must have happened to Yan Luo’s body; he just hasn’t realized it yet.

Noticing Sasa’s eyes suddenly light up, Yan Luo cautiously took a step back.

Even though Sasa was a delicate scholar who couldn’t withstand one punch from him, Yan Luo still sensed this person was more dangerous than he had imagined.

Next, Sasa’s beguiling voice slipped into Yan Luo’s ear.

"I know where to get a cracked second-hand blood analyzer. I started publishing on some websites back in high school and earned quite a bit, so I should be able to buy one. Yan Luo, let me study your blood, will you?"

Sasa’s words sounded like she was pleading, but all Yan Luo felt was a spine-chilling creep.

"Why do you want to study my blood?" Yan Luo cautiously countered, "Do you think I’m not human anymore?"

"In at least some aspects, you and humans are already quite different." Sasa’s face lit up with excited glee, her research interest swirling in her mind.

Yan Luo fell silent, then asked, "If I let you study my blood, what benefits will I gain from it?"

Sasa quietly clenched her fist, suppressing her urge to scream, patiently explained, "I might be able to further optimize your training plan and help you find a faster way to digest magic power."

Speeding up the process of getting stronger?

Yan Luo thought it wasn’t a bad idea.

"Deal."
