Although Zhang Ke had not contributed in the final battle, everyone treated it as giving him some support, and Zhang Ke himself said nothing about it. Warrior squads were still very humane.
“Luo Feng and I each get 3 million, everyone else gets 1 million.”
Gao Feng smiled slightly. “The last monster, the Bloodthirsty Tank, sold for the highest amount, reaching 16 million. Chen Gu contributed the most, killing it with one shot, so he takes sixty percent. The others contributed equally, Luo Feng, Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Zhang Ke each take ten percent. As for me, forget it.” If there was anyone richest in the squad, it was naturally Gao Feng.
Normally, when hunting commander level monsters, Gao Feng was almost always the main force. So over the years, he had earned several times, even more than ten times, the money of the others.
Because of this, whenever he had not contributed much, Gao Feng would usually give way generously.
“So that means Chen Gu gets 9.6 million, while Zhang Ke, Luo Feng, Wei Qing, and Wei Tie each get 1.6 million.”
“Adding it all together.”
“Chen Gu gets 11.26 million, Luo Feng gets 6.52 million, I get 4.2 million, Zhang Ke gets 9.91 million, Wei Tie gets 3.3 million, and Wei Qing gets 3.32 million.” Gao Feng announced the final distribution and smiled. “Of course, we still have the priceless materials from the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf. That alone can definitely sell for an astronomical price!”
“However, Luo Feng was responsible for tracking, killing, dissecting, and bringing back the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf. He did everything himself.” Gao Feng smiled. “So Luo Feng can receive the highest allowed share, eighty percent. The remaining twenty percent will be evenly divided among the five of us.” This was the rule among warrior squads.
Even if one person did all the work, everyone else still had to get a little share.
Normally, when killing commander level monsters, the person with the greatest contribution usually received at most sixty percent. But in Luo Feng’s case, since he had done everything alone, he could receive the maximum eighty percent.
“Luo Feng, the amount you earned this time probably exceeds what I earned in ten years.” Chen Gu could not help shouting from the side. “Tonight you absolutely must treat us!”
“That’s right, you must treat us. We need to slaughter this rich man for a meal.” Wei Tie and Wei Qing both chimed in.
One had to know that even Zhang Zehu from the Tiger Fang Squad had only earned one hundred million over the past two years. Those two years were also the peak of his earning power, and before that his earnings had been even slower. In other words, over all these years, Zhang Zehu had probably only earned three or four hundred million in total.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng had become rich from just this single hunt.
Of course, not everyone had the ability to kill a hunter class monster. Since Luo Feng possessed that strength, naturally he could earn such money. In the warrior world, the stronger someone was, the more astonishing their wealth usually became.
“I’ll definitely treat everyone. How could I dare not to? We’ll do it at the HR Alliance Mall.” Luo Feng grinned.
“I’ll transfer the money first, directly into each of your accounts.”
Gao Feng smiled as he transferred the previously earned money from the Fire Hammer Squad’s shared account into each member’s personal account in front of everyone. Every squad member knew the shared account’s username and password. Normally, once money was earned, it would immediately be distributed.
…
That afternoon, Luo Feng and the others boarded the train back to the base city.
“The train is about to arrive at the station. Passengers preparing to disembark, please gather your belongings.” The recorded announcement echoed through the carriage. With a swish, the train doors opened.
“Let’s go!”
Gao Feng, Luo Feng, Zhang Ke, Chen Gu, and the Wei brothers walked out one after another.
“So many people.” As soon as Luo Feng stepped off the train, he saw huge crowds of passengers everywhere around the station. Through the station building’s glass walls, he could even see dense masses of waiting travellers inside. One had to know that the base city’s main urban district had a population exceeding one hundred million. It was easy to imagine how noisy and lively the station was.
This was what human vitality looked like, boiling human vitality.
“Brothers, thank the weapons in your hands, we’ve returned alive to the base city once again!” Gao Feng sighed emotionally.
“We’re back.”
“Back in a human city.”
Luo Feng himself felt deeply shaken. Although they had only spent seven or eight days in the wilderness, the wilderness was barren and ruined everywhere. Those cities in the wilderness had long been destroyed beyond recognition. Countless monsters occupied them, and Luo Feng’s group had to move carefully at all times, afraid of being surrounded by monster hordes.
Only the base city.
This was where humanity could safely live.
This was where civilisation still existed.
“The base city, humanity’s final stronghold.” A trace of understanding rose within Luo Feng’s heart. “Even if it’s only for the sake of humanity’s bases, powerful warriors really should stand forward. Someone like me can easily kill ordinary soldier level monsters, even beginner commander level monsters. But for ordinary humans, even if a thousand people were equipped with good weapons, facing a commander level monster would still be extremely dangerous.”
Why did nations grant warriors special privileges?
Why did the entire world encourage warriors to hunt monsters?
Because the more monsters killed, the safer humanity’s base cities became.
“Hello, wife? I should get home around midnight tonight.” Zhang Ke spoke on the phone with a smile. “Yes, this time I’ll be staying home for quite a long while. I’ll definitely satisfy Madam Wife.” It was impossible to imagine that a man missing an arm could smile so naturally and sincerely.
Warriors fought life and death battles outside, but family remained the deepest attachment in their hearts.
Luo Feng also dialled home.
“Xiaofeng.”
Hearing the familiar voice, Luo Feng’s eyes became slightly moist. “Mum, I’ll probably get home around midnight tonight. You don’t need to wait for me for dinner.”
“Tonight?” His mother was clearly delighted. “Good, good. Your father is outside accompanying your brother. I’ll call them to answer.”
“No need, I’ll be home tonight anyway.” Warmth filled Luo Feng’s heart.
This was home, the place Luo Feng protected.
“Luo Feng, come on, let’s take the HR Alliance warrior transport vehicle.” Gao Feng called out. The others had already started moving.
“Coming.”
After hanging up, Luo Feng immediately followed the group along the warrior exclusive passageway. At the end of the passage was a small open area filled with exclusive vehicles from the Extreme Dojo, Thunder Dojo, the Underground Alliance Mall, and various Underground Alliance families. These vehicles constantly waited here to pick up returning warriors.
Seeing Luo Feng’s group emerge, all the drivers straightened up alertly.
“Let’s go to the HR Alliance Mall.” Gao Feng and the others directly boarded the HR Alliance Mall vehicle.
“Right away.”
The driver started the engine, shifted gears, and stepped on the accelerator. The large and comfortable off road vehicle immediately sped forward.
Inside the vehicle.
“Luo Feng, we’re about to arrive at the HR Alliance Mall.” Chen Gu grinned as he looked at Luo Feng. “That girl you were flirting with last time, Xu Xin, might be there again. Luo Feng, now that you’ve come back from the wilderness, you should really spend some time deepening your relationship with her.”
“You pervert.” Gao Feng laughed and cursed before turning to Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, let me say this. That girl Xu Xin became the manager of the first floor bar there at such a young age. She’s definitely not ordinary. She probably has quite a background. You should be careful.”
Luo Feng nodded.
He had the same feeling. Back at school, Xu Xin had seemed completely ordinary. But inside the HR Alliance Mall bar, her temperament felt completely different. It was as though she had once hidden herself entirely, but was now revealing a trace of brilliance.
“You mean Miss Xu Xin?” the driver in front suddenly asked in surprise.
“You know Xu Xin?” Luo Feng looked at him.
“Of course.” The driver smiled. “We drive to the mall every day and chat with the other drivers all the time, so naturally we know this Miss Xu Xin. Don’t think she isn’t stunningly beautiful, because… tsk tsk, whoever marries her can save themselves a lifetime of struggle.”
Gao Feng’s expression changed slightly. “Could she be from the Xu family, one of the twelve major families of the HR Alliance in China?”
“That’s right, the Xu family. I heard her status within the family is quite high too.” The driver nodded.
Luo Feng was shocked as well.
The HR Alliance was an alliance formed by the super families and financial conglomerates of America, Europe, and many other countries. It could be described as an alliance of global giant families and corporations.
They controlled the world economy, and even governments and military forces could only maintain peaceful coexistence with the HR Alliance.
Within the HR Alliance, aside from the nine supreme families and financial groups at the very top, there were also dozens of second tier families and conglomerates.
Each one possessed astonishing wealth and terrifying power.
“Damn, that background is enormous.” Chen Gu stared wide eyed. “I knew the girl’s surname was Xu, but I never imagined she was from that Xu family. Luo Feng, even your big brother here can’t help you now. Pursuing little sister Xu Xin is going to be extremely difficult.”
“The difficulty is high, but our Luo Feng isn’t lacking either.” Gao Feng replied.
Chen Gu, Wei Tie, Wei Qing, Zhang Ke, and the others all laughed.
In their eyes, Luo Feng was a spiritual reader, and his future strength would only become even more terrifying.
“Old Fang.”
Gao Feng made a call. “Yes, it’s me. Of course I’m calling because I’ve got something good for you. Otherwise why would I bother? It’s definitely worth over one hundred million. Alright, no problem.” After ending the call, Gao Feng smiled at the others. “I’ve already informed Old Fang. Once we arrive at the mall, we’ll head upstairs directly.”
“Mhm.” Luo Feng and the others nodded.
A short while later.
The special vehicle passed through the military checkpoint and drove directly to the entrance hall of the HR Alliance Mall. Once the doors opened, the Fire Hammer Squad stepped out one after another.
“You must be Mr Gao Feng. Manager Fang is already waiting upstairs.” A sharp looking woman with neat ear length hair smiled politely.
“Mhm.”
Without wasting words, Gao Feng and the others entered the hall directly.
Inside the luxurious first floor hall, many warriors were talking near the bar area. Luo Feng glanced towards the counter. “She’s not here?” Then he quickly understood. These days happened to be the start of the university term. At the beginning of term, even ordinary universities conducted military training.
Besides, today was not Saturday or Sunday. It was perfectly normal for Xu Xin not to be there.
“Ding!”
The lift doors opened, and the Fire Hammer Squad entered.
“Beep!” The woman standing by the lift pressed “21” and placed her pupil before the scanner. “Beep, access approved. Welcome, Miss Liu.”
“Manager Fang is waiting for everyone on the twenty first floor.” The woman smiled.
Luo Feng and the others nodded.
The lift rapidly ascended without stopping once. In only a moment, with another “ding”, the lift doors opened.
The twenty first floor had arrived.
