Ten days later.
Shen Ping returned to the 056 Wilderness Area again. During this time, he had already hunted two high-level Beast Soldiers, and hunting one more would complete his quarterly mission.
Boom, crackle, crackle~
The weather was bad. Just as he reached the rooftop of a tall building, preparing to observe with his binoculars, a torrential downpour began. The heavy rain quickly formed a large mist, obscuring distant objects.
Seeing this,
He had no choice but to retreat into the building to rest.
He glanced at the time on his communication watch; it was lunchtime, so Shen Ping called his wife.
"Wife, have you eaten?"
"Not yet, I don't feel like eating much. Maybe my stomach hasn't been well lately."
"Then go to the hospital for a check-up."
"I'm fine, I'm just worried about you. The Wilderness Area is so dangerous, and you've been gone for ten days."
"I'll be back in a few more days."
After hanging up,
He shook his head. This was an old problem for his wife. Whenever he went to the Wilderness Area, she would worry so much that she couldn't eat. It was usually fine, but now that she was pregnant, this anxiety was unconsciously amplified.
"My wife is due in just over three months. I'll hunt one or two more these next few days, then go back and spend time with her. I won't come to the Wilderness Area for at least half a year."
His black god suit backpack still contained Golden Crown Dragon materials. Combined with four or five high-level Beast Soldier materials, it would be enough to complete half a year's military mission.
While he was thinking,
His communication watch vibrated.
It was Mu Yang.
"Shen Ge, what are you having for lunch?!"
Listening to Mu Yang's voice, Shen Ge couldn't hide his joy.
Shen Ping smiled and said, "When did you learn to care about your Shen Ge's life, kid? Tell me, what good news do you have to share with me?"
Mu Yang chuckled, "Shen Ge, why don't you guess?"
"You hunted a high-level Beast Soldier?"
"No."
"Then did you find a girl you like?"
"Shen Ge, my journey is the stars and the sea. Women will only hinder me."
Shen Ping scoffed, "You playboy, don't you feel ashamed saying that? Hurry up and tell me, stop teasing."
Mu Yang finally said, "My blade technique has broken through!!"
Shen Ping was stunned and couldn't help but exclaim, "You mean Ninefold Thunder Blade?"
"Yes."
"Hehe, thanks to Shen Ge's guidance, I suddenly grasped that opportunity yesterday while fighting a Beast Soldier-level monster."
At this moment, a team member next to Mu Yang teased, "This kid has been holding it in for almost a day, Lao Shen, you have to play along."
The other team members, including Captain Qin Shan, all burst into laughter.
Shen Ping reacted and praised repeatedly, "Amazing, Mu Yang. You broke through after following me for just a few months. It seems you're very talented with Ninefold Thunder Blade. Good, keep up the hard work."
Mu Yang humbly replied, "It's because Shen Ge taught me well."
Shen Ping laughed and teased, "Your attitude is good. When you come to Zheng City later, I'll reluctantly continue to guide you, and by the way, I'll also tell you some good news: my Ninefold Thunder Blade also broke through a while ago."
As soon as he said this,
The other end of the phone immediately fell silent.
Then Mu Yang's surprised cry came from the communication watch, "Ah, Shen, Shen Ge, your Ninefold Thunder Blade has broken through to the third level? No way!"
"What, can't your Shen Ge break through?!"
"That's not what I meant, Shen Ge, don't misunderstand."
Shen Ping laughed heartily, "What kind of person is your Mu Yang? Don't I know you? Actually, when I was guiding your blade technique, I already had some understanding of the third level of Ninefold Thunder Blade. I used to fight in the Wilderness Area often, and I couldn't calm my mind to make progress in blade technique. After starting a family, I had enough time to think, perhaps that's the reason."
He had already thought of an explanation for his breakthrough, and now bringing it up during Mu Yang's happy occasion made it less shocking.
At this moment, Captain Qin Shan said, "Lao Shen, congratulations. It seems it was right to let you start a family back then. Some martial artists have combat talent and can break through while fighting monsters. Other martial artists, like you, can break through by repeatedly pondering while guiding others. I heard that the instructors and teachers in the Dojo of Limits elite training camp are like that."
"If I had known this earlier, I should have let you retire sooner. It's a pity I don't practice Ninefold Thunder Blade, otherwise I could have also asked for your guidance."
The Raging Wind Squad members were all genuinely happy for Shen Ping. They chatted for a full half hour before ending the call.
The rain outside the building grew heavier.
The sky was gloomy and dark, and the rolling thunder even drowned out the roars of beasts. Large numbers of monsters hid inside buildings. Although monsters are not afraid of thunderstorms, they wouldn't foolishly stand in the street getting wet.
It wasn't until evening that the rain gradually stopped.
Shen Ping rested in the building for a night, and began hunting early the next morning. There were three high-level Beast Soldier-level monsters in the entire 056 city area, and large numbers of ordinary Beast Soldiers and Beast Soldiers gathered around them. Although his combat power was War God Peak, once he was entangled by Beast Soldiers and Beast Soldiers, it would be difficult to prevent the high-level Beast Soldiers from escaping. Therefore, after observing for a morning, he finally locked onto a high-level Beast Soldier staying in a shopping mall plaza.
Whoosh.
His figure leaped out. Before long, using the terrain of the shopping mall, he spent more than ten minutes to kill this high-level Beast Soldier-level monster, and then killed three mid-level Beast Soldiers before the remaining Beast Soldiers and a large number of Beast Soldiers scattered.
However, the remaining two would be difficult to deal with. The dense numbers of Beast Soldiers and Beast Soldiers around them totaled at least several thousand.
No way.
Shen Ping could only patiently wait for an opportunity. Fortunately, after three days of waiting, he finally found an opportunity to kill these two high-level Beast Soldier-level monsters one by one.
Two days later,
He returned to the Base City by train with a large, bulging bag of monster materials. Five high-level Beast Soldier-level monsters, plus other Beast Soldiers and a Lord-level Golden Crown Dragon material, meant the total value of the materials alone exceeded 5 billion chinese yuan this time.
Manager Yan was ecstatic, "Boss, the God of War martial artist you befriended is definitely not weak! He's at least a mid-level God of War. The Golden Crown Dragon is comparable to a mid-level Lord-level monster, and hunting it is not easy. Moreover, with this Golden Crown Dragon material, the HR Alliance's purchasing department will definitely agree to our previous request."
There are over three thousand Gods of War Globally, but not many have the strength to frequently hunt Lord-level monsters, especially mid-level Lord-level ones. Therefore, the demand for Lord-level monsters from various Global forces is extremely high, especially high-level Lord-level monsters valued over ten billion, which are even more sought after.
Most material companies that can provide high-level Beast Soldier-level monster materials are already quite large, which is why Manager Yan was so excited.
Shen Ping pondered for a moment and then expressed his idea of using the Lord-level monster to complete the military mission.
Manager Yan quickly said, "Boss, there's absolutely no need. Although the contract stipulates that we deliver three every three months, regulations are regulations. If we deliver one or two less, the military won't say much, as long as we can provide high-level Beast Soldier monster materials each time."
Hunting monsters is dangerous, and no one can guarantee a successful harvest every time they go to the Wilderness Area.
Shen Ping nodded, "In that case, let's use the Lord-level one to open up channels with the HR Alliance… As for recruiting employees and expanding the warehouse, handle those as soon as possible. By the end of the year, our company needs to reach a medium scale."
"Understood, Boss!"
Back in the office,
He opened the virtual frame, and new text appeared on it.
