Eternal Core City.
Deep within the Wolf's Den.
Before Ye Bai could even sit down, he spoke directly.
"Let's make this quick. I still have to challenge the Eternal Tower."
Today's task: SSSS Rank Rating (0/1)
"One thing at a time."
Xue Meng closed the door.
"The list you provided earlier, we've completely verified it, and the corresponding values have been calculated."
As he spoke, Xue Meng handed over a list.
Next to each name was a corresponding bounty amount.
"You reported a total of 64 people. Of those, 25 have been captured or killed for various reasons, 6 were actually our undercover agents, and 9 were already under our surveillance.
So, the actual number of effective reports is 24.
The final bounty amount is 19 million Gold Coins."
19 million Gold Coins. Seeing this number, Ye Bai's eyelid twitched.
"At the same time, your achievements have elevated your Lone Wolf rank from [Gold] directly to [Star]."
As he spoke, Xue Meng extended his hand, and a white light fell onto the Lone Wolf Medal.
It was coated with a layer of silver light, and the wolf head design had changed slightly, losing its previous ferocity and now exuding an aura of wisdom.
"Also, congratulations on becoming the number one on the [Warrior Star List]."
Ye Bai curiously asked, "How many people are on the Warrior Star List?"
"One."
Ye Bai: .....
He's both the first and the last.
Indeed, very few can make it onto the Star List during the Warrior phase!
Many don't even have the opportunity to accumulate achievements and directly become Battle Generals.
Ye Bai's situation is an exception among exceptions.
"What about the bounty for the Cult Leader of the Fourth Demonic Sect?"
Ye Bai quickly moved on to the next question.
19 million Gold Coins is indeed a staggering amount.
But for what Ye Bai needs now, 19 million is just a drop in the bucket.
Repairing the Nightmare Wind requires SSS Rank materials.
Crafting top-tier armor also requires high-quality materials, preferably S Rank or above.
Just these two tasks alone would cost an unknown amount of money.
Xue Meng said solemnly,
"You know, the Cult Leader of the Demonic Sect isn't dead yet.
The full reward that should have been given to you can only be discounted now."
Ye Bai: ???
He had underestimated the situation!
If he had known earlier,
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
Ye Bai would have claimed the reward first, then reported Lian Lian Kan again.
Maximizing the value of the report.
This move, this move is called [One Person Eats More].
A person can't step into the same river twice, but Ye Bai can report Lian Lian Kan twice.
"Alright, I'll remember this!"
Ye Bai spoke as if he had lost money,
"If I had known, I wouldn't have stopped Master Jiu and let him fulfill his promise."
Sitting across from Ye Bai, Xue Meng suddenly felt a chill down his neck, as if something ominous was approaching.
Shadow Nine: I thought you didn't stop him either.
"Let's not talk about these happy things. Let's get straight to it, how much money?"
Ye Bai was very straightforward.
He saw it clearly; his relationship with Xue Meng was just about discussing money.
"We'll convert it to 12 War God achievement points for you, but I think you might need this more."
As he spoke, Xue Meng pulled out a three-meter-long bone stick from his pocket.
"This is?!"
The pale bone stick lay horizontally in front of Ye Bai, with bits of meat still hanging from it, steaming, with the bone marrow still warm, freshness at 100%.
Clearly, the bone stick was delivered to Xue Meng the moment it was stripped.
"The right leg bone of the Hellhound Emperor?!"
"Yes, SSS Rank material. You need it, right?"
"I do need it."
Ye Bai looked at the steaming bone, momentarily speechless,
"Was this freshly ordered and freshly killed?"
The Hellhound Emperor, after reaching adulthood, is a War God-level existence!
Even though its three heads often argue and disagree, each with its own thoughts, sometimes even killing each other.
But it's still a War God!
How did it end up in such a miserable state, like a fish in a grill shop, killed as soon as it's ordered?
No trade, no killing!
"I'll take it!"
Ye Bai didn't hesitate to place the order.
To hell with the killing, I'm here for the trade!
"Look here."
Xue Meng actually took out an anatomical diagram, seriously introducing it to Ye Bai,
"Aside from the cartilage, there are a total of seventy-two bones that can be used from an adult Hellhound."
"If you order the full set of bones now (excluding the skull), you can enjoy a 12% discount!"
"A deposit of 12 War God achievement points can offset 20 War God achievement points!"
Are you doing a Double Twelve pre-sale here?
Ye Bai took out all his assets,
"19 million Gold Coins, 12 War God achievement points, how much can that get me?"
"Normally, 1 War God achievement point equals 1 million Gold Coins, so together it's 31 War God achievement points."
Xue Meng calculated,
"You can buy the bones of the four limbs, but you're still 60 War God achievement points short of the full set."
60 War God achievement points, which is 60 million Gold Coins.
Ye Bai suddenly thought about finding a few more Demonic Sect followers to report.
Recently, funds are tight... ahem, recently, righteousness fills my heart, and I cannot coexist with evil!
Ye Bai still said with a heavy heart,
"I'll take this set of bones, pay the deposit first, and I'll find a way to settle the balance."
Xue Meng reminded him, "This debt can't be on my head!"
"What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person, Asura?"
Xue Meng's eyes silently told Ye Bai: You are.
Handing the right leg bone to Ye Bai, Xue Meng said the rest of the bones would be delivered over the next three days.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be off. Let's have tea another day."
Ye Bai said as he prepared to leave, to get those 5000 single meals.
"Wait, someone asked me to give you something."
Xue Meng stopped Ye Bai, taking out a few Skill Books from his arms,
"Second Uncle said to give you two Skill Books."
"Oh?"
Ye Bai's eyes lit up.
Xue Meng's Second Uncle, isn't that Ye Bai's Second Brother!
Traceless's Skill Books have finally arrived?!
And there's a choice!
As expected of the most elegant Supreme Being, everything is done reliably!
"These are all close-combat skills. It's a bit odd for a Mage like you to learn them..."
Xue Meng didn't say much more but pushed the Skill Books towards Ye Bai, saying,
"There are five books here in total. Take them back and study them slowly.
Once you use two, the remaining three will automatically disappear."
Looking at the five Skill Books in front of him, Ye Bai's first reaction was,
"Is there a way to prevent the other three from disappearing?"
At some point,
Exploiting a Glitch became an instinct engraved in Ye Bai's soul.
It's not easy to fleece a Supreme Being.
Ye Bai wanted to cherish this opportunity.
If Ye Bai could successfully exploit a glitch, it would be his own skill.
Traceless, being such a magnanimous person, naturally wouldn't say much.
"There is a way. Using a Great War God-level sword can temporarily seal three Skill Books, to be learned when your strength is sufficient.
But do you have a Great War God-level, SS Rank sword?
Do you? I don't even have one! I only have a hammer!"
At this point, Xue Meng became very emotional, even roaring.
"Can you understand my feelings? I'm a swordsman!
After becoming a War God, I can only use a hammer! A hammer!"
He was anxious, he was anxious.
Ye Bai: I can't quite understand, I have the King Sword.
But the words stopped at his lips, like spring rain nourishing silently,
"I understand your feelings. Indeed, such equipment is rare and hard to come by, not everyone has the chance to own it."
Ye Bai spoke sincerely, every word true.
"Finally, you said something sensible."
Xue Meng sighed,
"Close the door on your way out, and be careful."
"Careful of what?"
"Recently, the Eternal Tower has been frequently tainted by the Demon God.
If you go to the seventh floor tonight, you're likely to encounter some trouble."
At this point, Xue Meng frowned,
"I don't know what that strange old man is up to."
The strange old man probably referred to Carefree.
Hearing this, Ye Bai also felt a bit strange.
Counting it up, on the first floor, the second floor, Ye Bai had encountered the Demon God's subordinates!
And the Eternal Tower is clearly guarded by a Supreme Being, it shouldn't be so lax in defense.
Keeping this in mind, Ye Bai turned and left.
After he walked away, Xue Meng burst into laughter,
"No, I was overthinking it."
"Anyone who encounters this shameless kid is the one who's truly unlucky!"
"This kid, wherever he goes, he causes trouble!"
...
After leaving the office, Ye Bai applied for a personal space at the front desk of the Wolf's Den.
"Star Lone Wolf, SS-level confidentiality.
You can conduct combat power tests, skill practice, equipment forging, etc., inside.
Room number [SS-002], access has been approved, scan the Lone Wolf Medal to enter!"
"Thank you."
Ye Bai stuffed the 5000 single meals into his storage space before heading to [SS-002].
Behind him came whispers.
"Ninth-rank Warrior, Star Lone Wolf, did I see that right?"
"He's the junior Xue Meng favors, maybe he's made some great achievements, there have been many precedents."
"Indeed, a Star Lone Wolf at the Warrior stage... fame exceeds strength, only when he becomes a Battle General can his true potential be seen!"
"Wow, he took so much food, can he eat it all?"
"....."
Some people's focus is always different.
Entering the [SS-002] room, Ye Bai took out the Hellhound's Skull and right leg bone.
"Let's first try to repair the Nightmare Wind, then look at the Skill Books Traceless gave!"
Xue Meng's final reminder made Ye Bai have to be on alert.
If the seventh floor is tainted by the Demon God, achieving 100% exploration might be difficult.
If there's a chance to clear it with an SSSS Rank, Ye Bai certainly wouldn't miss it!
So, Ye Bai needed to be fully prepared before setting off.
"Let's begin!"
Ye Bai looked at the eager Nightmare Wind and threw in the Hellhound's Skull.
In an instant, the Nightmare Wind devoured the skull, even letting out a burp.
"Burp—"
Chicken flavor, crispy.
