The staff verified Chen Shu's identity and asked, "Are you here to turn in the [Gather Frostleaf Flower] mission or the [Hunt Roaring Lion] mission?"
"What kind of low-level mission is this? I've never heard of it."
Chen Shu spread his hands and shrugged. "Old Xie, Xiao Xing, have you heard of these two missions?"
Both of them shook their heads. "No, who would do such low-end missions?"
Looking at the three of them putting on a show, the staff member's forehead was covered in black lines.
"These are the missions you took earlier, aren't they?"
Chen Shu said, "We want to turn in the mission for the Frost Giant Wolf Lord!"
"The Lord? You completed it?"
The staff member's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Just a bit of effort, and anyone with hands can do it!"
Chen Shu took out a heart from his urea bag. It was wrapped in special paper, but an icy chill still emanated from it, captivating everyone's attention.
In an instant, all the beastmasters stood up, looking over.
"Is that really the heart of a Frost Giant Wolf?"
"Damn! A group of intern beastmasters actually succeeded in hunting it?!"
"What's going on? Are students nowadays this monstrous?"
The staff member also swallowed hard. This was a bounty mission worth a full four million.
"Sigh..."
At this moment, Chen Shu frowned and sighed.
"Should I turn in this heart, or this one?"
With that, Chen Shu took out another heart from his urea bag.
He looked conflicted, holding the two hearts and unsure which one to submit.
Silence! The mission hall became utterly silent!
The staff member also looked utterly astonished and finally asked,
"Are you guys selling these in bulk?"
"Forget it, we're not turning them in!"
Chen Shu sighed and put both hearts back into his urea bag, tying it securely.
The gazes of the beastmasters in the hall were fixed on that urea bag. They could vaguely see other materials inside, likely all from lords.
Their eyes were filled with fanaticism and greed, as if those were divine artifacts.
"We declare our mission a failure! Please inform the employer that the two hearts I have are five million each! No bargaining."
Chen Shu smirked, choosing to skyrocket the price.
"This is what you call playing hardball!"
The quest giver was clearly a tycoon who desperately wanted to learn the Frost Giant Wolf's talent skill.
Someone had already submitted a heart before, but they were still buying, which meant the other party failed to learn the skill.
This showed that the tycoon was rich and persistent.
But now, the Frost Gorge was temporarily closed due to an incident, and anything that became rare would see its value surge. Selling something worth over three million for five million was entirely reasonable.
"With so many lord-level materials, how should I handle them?"
Chen Shu sighed, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
Xu Xingxing licked his lips and said, "I don't know, let's roast them when we get back. It's not like our contracted spirits have to eat them. Maybe we can learn skills too?"
Xie Sunan directly refused, "If you ask me, we should just bury them. Maybe new ones will grow next year."
As the three discussed how to deal with them, the beastmasters in the hall stared blankly, only able to listen to their monstrous remarks as they watched them leave.
If this were in another dimension, the three would likely have been robbed of everything, down to their underwear.
After a long while, someone finally reacted.
"What's the situation in the Frost Gorge now? Won't lord corpses be lying around everywhere?"
"Lying around my foot! Who knows what caused such a commotion? Countless ordinary fierce beasts were killed or injured, and all the lords went mad! Luckily, I sold out my teammates, or I wouldn't have made it back."
For a moment, everyone else looked at that person and stepped back a few paces.
"Why do you seem so proud?"
"This haul is really good."
Chen Shu calculated the value of the materials in his urea bag. The materials from just six lord-level fierce beasts were worth over twenty million.
He looked like a greedy person, muttering to himself:
"Xiao Xing put in a lot of effort, he can get a hundred thousand. Old Xie's scouting skill was crucial, a hundred thousand is perfectly reasonable!
Teacher Shen's assist was good, he can get two hundred thousand!
I'm the main force, the rest belongs to me. It's only fair!"
Xie Sunan and Xu Xingxing by his side widened their eyes and stared at him intently.
Chen Shu asked, puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"We're looking at how thick your skin is!!"
"So, you're saying you're taking over twenty million for yourself, aren't you?"
"What do you mean 'thick'?"
Shen Wushuang pushed the door open, clearly here to share the spoils.
Xie Sunan immediately stood up and complained, "Teacher Shen, quickly beat this shameless guy to death! He wants to take twenty million for himself!"
"Hmm?"
Shen Wushuang made a dash and forcibly snatched the urea bag.
"Give it here!"
Although Chen Shu tried his best to stop him, he still lost the urea bag.
Shen Wushuang sat down next to Chen Shu and said,
"The Frost Gorge is temporarily sealed now, so the value of the lord-level materials will increase a bit."
Suddenly, he looked at Chen Shu. "Did you blow up the Frost Gorge with premeditation? To intentionally drive up the prices of materials!"
Chen Shu spread his hands, remaining silent.
Shen Wushuang continued, "Don't sell two of the Frost Giant Wolf hearts. Just tell the tycoon who posted the mission that they are five hundred and fifty thousand each!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Xu Xingxing and Xie Sunan looked at them strangely, repeatedly sizing up Chen Shu and Shen Wushuang.
"Skyrocketing prices, you two have really mastered it."
Shen Wushuang asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem? That tycoon clearly doesn't lack money!"
"No, no problem."
Shen Wushuang continued to estimate, saying, "The other four materials are valued at four million, plus the Beast Taming Pearls, that's around four hundred and fifty thousand."
"Adding the Frost Giant Wolf's Beast Taming Pearls, the total value is about thirty million."
As soon as he said this, except for Xu Xingxing, the other three were shocked.
Even Shen Wushuang had never had such a rich haul. His beast taming team back then wouldn't dare hunt seven lords at once.
After a long while, Xu Xingxing broke the silence.
"Excluding those two hearts, the other materials are nineteen million, right?"
Xu Xingxing sat to the side and said calmly, "If there are no issues, I can have my family transfer the money tomorrow."
"???"
The three looked at him in unison and immediately stood up straight.
"Damn it, this is unreasonable!"
"Evil rich people!"
