Hei Deng Xia Huo
Chapter 44 Dividing the Spoils
The crowd finally heard the system notification and breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other, unable to help but smile sincerely. Even Liu Wudai, who usually had no expression, slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
This was a script mission with a difficulty level of five people. It was already good enough to barely complete it, let alone without a single death.
"We can be considered to have saved our lives from the system," Xing Hechou said with a bitter smile. "This time, thanks to everyone."
Wanli Fengdao shook his head and said, "Brother Xing, you're too kind. If you hadn't decisively taken action and immediately made a move just now, I'm afraid I would have made a big mistake."
What Wanli Fengdao was referring to was Xing Hechou's action at the banquet just now, when he threw the bronze halberd to save Hong Niang—the system mission only required everyone to survive for 7 days, and did not require the mission team to kill the Shan Xiao (mountain spirit).
If Xing Hechou hadn't taken action to save people at that time, Wanli Fengdao would probably have hesitated out of self-preservation and watched the innocent die.
Ten years to forge a sword, but the blade has never been tested. Today, I present it to you, who has grievances to settle. It was not easy to be selected by the Killing Game, to be able to break free from the despairing and monotonous shackles of reality, and have a second life. If he was still hesitant and timid, then what kind of swordsman was he, and what kind of chivalry was he talking about.
"...Actually, I didn't think so much at the time, it was just a professional habit." Xing Hechou looked at the sincere gratitude in Wanli Fengdao's eyes, remained silent for a moment, and said frankly, "As you all expected, I belong to the Foreign Affairs Department of the Security Department's Special Affairs Bureau. I am indeed an official person.
Since the Killing Game was restarted seven months ago, the government has invested a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to analyze, pojiě (crack), and utilize the Killing Game, and has determined it as the most important strategic direction of the entire national machine for a long period of time in the future.
And the Special Affairs Bureau, as the frontline department in response to the Killing Game, is the first to bear the brunt of the heavy responsibility. What we do is not only for the safety of the people in the real world, but also for the rise and fall of the country, the competition for global hegemony, and even the survival of the human species.
As a player, I can also understand the joy and fear brought about by extraordinary abilities, the joy of the transformation of a boring life, and the fear of the unknown future and the danger of possessing a treasure.
However, I hope you can have a little more trust in our official departments."
After saying that, Xing Hechou sent friend request links to the others and took out a few small steel name cards, handing them to the others.
The name cards were blank, with only a phone number and a website address printed on them.
"This is the contact information for the Special Affairs Bureau. Whether you want to join the Special Affairs Bureau, or want to inquire about some Killing Game nèimu (inside information), or want to know about some terrible disasters' nèimu (inside information), you can contact us at any time."
Xing Hechou said very sincerely, "Please believe that a strong motherland is always our strongest backing."
Wanli Fengdao silently put away the iron piece, belatedly glanced around, and asked with a frown, "Eh? Where's Little Li?"
"I'm here!"
Li Ang crawled out of the Wang Guan (Crown) Taoist's sedan chair, and said with a face of regret, "Didn't Wang Guan (Crown) obtain the alchemy method and the true inheritance of Taoism from a Fang Shi (Taoist practitioner) named Chi Duzi (Red Belly)? I was thinking of searching for a secret manual, but unfortunately I didn't find anything."
Although he was regretful, he could also understand. Wang Guan (Crown) was not the kind of monster who would run around with the Taoist mental method everywhere, and the system would not give too many ways to exploit loopholes. High returns come with high risks.
Li Ang, who failed to win the lottery, was quite unhappy. He ran directly to the corpse of the Shan Xiao (mountain spirit), waved his battle axe, and shouted, "The transmission time waits for no one, we'd better quickly dismember the Shan Xiao (mountain spirit)! The corpses of extraordinary beings can also be sold for money!"
Li Ang, who has rigorous scientific literacy, had long ago tested the Killing Game's mall system in various ways. The corpses of extraordinary beings must first be loaded into the inventory before they can be sold to the mall system for game currency.
However, if the corpse is too large, it cannot be regarded as a whole and loaded into the backpack inventory. It must be divided into pieces such as hands, feet, and torso, like a dark Dàfa (great magic) master, before it can be loaded into the backpack inventory.
In the eyes of Xing Hechou and others, Li Ang, who was covered in blood, with a狂热 (kuángrè - fanatical) look on his face, and skillfully dismembering the corpse with spider claws, looked like a pathological serial killer in movies and TV series.
Xing Hechou coughed and said, "Brother Li... is indeed豪爽 (háoshuǎng - bold and generous). If you don't mind, let me do it, I can be faster."
"Sure."
Li Ang nodded, took a few steps back, and watched Xing Hechou take out something like a purple-red balloon from his backpack, blow it up a few times, and then throw it at the huge corpse of the Shan Xiao (mountain spirit).
Bang—
The balloon bàozhà (exploded) in response, and the purple-red film tightly covered the head and body of the Shan Xiao (mountain spirit), and continued to shrink, eventually compressing the mountain-like Shan Xiao (mountain spirit) into the size of a small van.
"The body parts of extraordinary creatures can only be sold at a cheap price in the system mall.
If you trust me, after the mission is over, I will convert the value assessment given by the Academy of Sciences for the Shan Xiao (mountain spirit) corpse into game currency or real currency, and divide it evenly among you."
Xing Hechou glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "According to past practice, a妖兽 (yāoshòu - demon beast) corpse like this, divided into five equal parts, can get 300 game currency, or 3 million RMB per share.
Game currency can be directly transferred through game friends, and cash payment is a little more troublesome. The staff of the Special Affairs Bureau will put the package containing cash at a designated location, and you can pick it up yourself—I guarantee with my personality that there will be no monitoring or arrest links throughout the entire process. The Special Affairs Bureau has always adopted a policy of treating and recruiting players who are law-abiding and kind."
Much, how much??
Li Ang, who had always been poor, gasped and didn't hear what Xing He was saying next.
Even if he had long guessed that extraordinary creatures were of extremely high value to the government, after all, banknotes could be printed at any time, while extraordinary biological samples were not available everywhere.
But when Li Ang heard this amount of cash with the suffix "million," he couldn't help but get excited.
3 million, 3 million, how many tutoring classes would he have to give to the little brat next door to earn it back.
With so much money, he could buy two bowls of liangfen (cold mung bean noodles) for each meal in the future, one to eat and one to pour out...
Li Ang, who suddenly became rich out of nowhere, was excited and suddenly remembered that so many demons in the courtyard just now had been eaten up by Chai Cuiqiao, this fierce ghost.
How much money could so many corpses sell for... Forget it, forget it, don't think too much.
With his heart bleeding, Li Ang resisted the tears and watched Xing Hechou and others discuss how to divide the Zijin (Purple Gold) Buddha Bowl and the broken Vajra (Diamond) Demon Subduing Pestle left by the Shan Xiao (mountain spirit).
Among these two pieces of equipment, the Zijin (Purple Gold) Buddha Bowl, which can condense spiritual energy and promote cultivation, is undoubtedly of higher value. After discussion, Xing Hechou, on behalf of the Special Affairs Bureau, bought the Zijin (Purple Gold) Buddha Bowl for 400 mall currency per person, and bought the Vajra (Diamond) Demon Subduing Pestle for 200 mall currency per person.
