Chapter 55

Dividing the Spoils

The clamor and blaring sirens drew many warriors to the scene. "It's the Fire Hammer Squad, and that's the Tiger Fang Squad," onlookers murmured. "What are they fighting about?" Both the Fire Hammer Squad and the Tiger Fang Squad were quite renowned in Jiangnan Base City. Under the stern reprimand of the Supply Base's patrol guards, the Fire Hammer Squad suppressed their fury and calmed down. After all, the authority of the Military Region was not to be challenged. "Stop!" a furious roar cut through the air. Luo Feng turned to see a lean, short man leading the two other members of the Tiger Fang Squad rushing over. Beside Luo Feng, Chen Gu whispered, "Luo Feng, that's Pan Ya, the captain of the Tiger Fang Squad, known as 'Hu Ya.' His weapon is a three-edged bayonet, and he's extremely dangerous." Luo Feng was startled. This unassuming, short, and lean man was the captain of the Tiger Fang Squad! "Hu Ya?" Luo Feng scrutinized the man nicknamed 'Hu Ya,' then his gaze swept over Zhang Zehu, who stood behind the captain. Zhang Zehu curled his lips into a sneer at Luo Feng. 'Enjoy your moment, Zhang Zehu! Not just you, but your entire Tiger Fang Squad. I'll make you regret this, I swear I will!' Before entering the Wilderness, Luo Feng had thought Zhang Haobai's order to break his legs was ruthless enough. But now... The Tiger Fang Squad, with no real grudge against him, was ready to wipe out his entire squad without a second thought. Compared to the Tiger Fang Squad's insidious ruthlessness, Zhang Haobai seemed utterly naive. "Captain." "Captain." Zhang Zehu and the other two stood behind their captain. The Tiger Fang Squad and the Fire Hammer Squad faced off, surrounded by a large crowd of onlookers. The patrol team leader of the Supply Base coldly stated, "Gao Feng, Pan Ya, I don't care about your discussions. But if you start a fight, don't blame me. Brothers, let's go." The team leader waved his hand, not bothering to supervise them, knowing they wouldn't dare cause trouble after his warning. "Hu Ya!" Gao Feng sneered. "You're truly vicious! I, Gao Feng, genuinely underestimated you before. I never realized how malicious and insidious you truly are! First, you ambushed our Fire Hammer Squad with a sniper rifle from a distance, then you lured a beast horde to besiege us, leaving our squad no chance of survival! If not for expert intervention, our entire squad would have been wiped out!" A collective gasp rose from the surrounding warriors. The Tiger Fang Squad had gone too far. "Gao Feng, don't spout nonsense," the Tiger Fang captain retorted with a cold laugh. "My Tiger Fang Squad never did any of that. Don't try to pin it on us!" Such underhanded deeds could never be admitted. If he did, his Tiger Fang Squad would be in serious trouble. "My brother's arm was shattered by your sniper rifle bullet," Gao Feng said, his face grim. "I said we didn't, so we didn't," the Tiger Fang captain said coldly. "If you have evidence, go ahead and report it to the Security Bureau and let them decide! Stop whining and complaining here. Brothers, let's go." The Tiger Fang Squad captain was decisive, not wasting any more words with the Fire Hammer Squad. Gao Feng, Chen Gu, and the others looked grim, and Luo Feng gritted his teeth in anger. But Luo Feng knew perfectly well that his group had no evidence. In the Wilderness, it was common for warrior squads to turn on each other over grudges or valuable treasures. Most of the time, there was no evidence, and without evidence, the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo couldn't intervene. "Hmph, let's go!" Gao Feng glared at the departing Tiger Fang Squad and growled. The Fire Hammer Squad could only leave, seething with suppressed rage. ... At Villa A9 in the Supply Base, which temporarily served as the Fire Hammer Squad's resting place. "Captain, don't be angry now," Luo Feng said. "Let the Tiger Fang Squad enjoy their moment for a while. When they enter the Wilderness again... it won't be too late to deal with them." Luo Feng's words brought smiles to the faces of the Fire Hammer Squad members, who had been fuming moments before. Chen Gu clapped Luo Feng on the shoulder. "That's right, we still have you, Luo Feng. It won't be hard to wipe them out." "A warrior's revenge is never too late," Gao Feng grinned. "Besides, we won't have to wait long. With Luo Feng, the Tiger Fang Squad is doomed!" Immediately, smiles appeared on the faces of the Fire Hammer Squad members. Even Zhang Ke, who had been agitated earlier, let out a sigh of relief. Psychics all experience a period of rapid power growth. Luo Feng's strength was already formidable, and it would only continue to increase rapidly! It was safe to say... the Tiger Fang Squad had no chance of survival! "Enough about the Tiger Fang Squad. Let's process the monster materials we hunted this time," Gao Feng said. "Although we weren't out for long, we hunted four Beast General-level monsters: a Bloodthirsty Tank, a Twin-tailed Tiger Cat, a Tiger Mastiff, and a Hunter!" On their way back, Luo Feng and his team had also encountered a Beginner Beast General-level Tiger Mastiff, which Luo Feng and Gao Feng easily slew. "However, this Supply Base isn't that big. If we sell the Hunter's materials here, it would be easily discovered. That would attract the attention of the warrior squad that severely wounded the Silvermoon Direwolf," Gao Feng cautiously explained. "Indeed," Chen Gu nodded in agreement. "The Hunter's body materials should wait until we return to the Base City to sell. The other monster materials can be sold here." For warrior squads, Beast Soldier-level monsters weren't worth much. The valuable ones were Beast General-level monsters... and of course, terrifying Lord-level monsters, each fetching a sky-high price! The advanced Beast General-level Silvermoon Direwolf, being rare and of royal wolf lineage, could fetch a price comparable to an average Beginner Lord-level monster, also a sky-high price! "Everyone, let's eat and rest. We'll sell them later," Gao Feng smiled. ... After dinner, the six members of the Fire Hammer Squad went together to the HR Alliance's representative there and sold all their hunted monster materials, except for the Silvermoon Direwolf's. Inside Villa A9, the Fire Hammer Squad gathered around a computer, dividing the money. "Luo Feng collected more ordinary Beast Soldier-level monsters, ranging from G-grade to F-grade. Each Beast Soldier-level monster's materials averaged a little over 6,000 yuan, meaning Luo Feng received over 120,000 yuan from these ordinary Beast Soldier-level monsters," the captain announced, distributing the funds. "Wei Tie collected 12 types of ordinary Beast Soldier-level monster materials, all F-grade, averaging around 8,000 yuan each, totaling approximately 100,000 yuan." "Wei Qing collected ordinary Beast Soldier-level monsters..." "Zhang Ke collected 11 types of ordinary Beast Soldier-level monster materials..." The six members of the Fire Hammer Squad quickly divided the money from the ordinary Beast Soldier-level materials. "Alright, next is the distribution for the Beast General-level monsters. The Twin-tailed Tiger Cat's entire body materials sold for a total of 12 million yuan," Gao Feng said, looking at everyone. "During the hunt, I was the main force. If nothing else, I should take 60% of the money from this Twin-tailed Tiger Cat. However... during the hunt, we were first attacked by a beast horde, and it was Luo Feng who saved everyone! Luo Feng played a huge role. And Zhang Ke was severely injured; he was disabled in the line of duty. So, for this Beast General-level monster, Zhang Ke will take 60%, I'll take 10%, Luo Feng will take 15%, and Wei Tie and Chen Gu will each take 5%!" "Any objections?" Gao Feng asked. "No objections," Luo Feng nodded. According to warrior squad rules, if someone is disabled in a battle, they receive 60% of the earnings from that battle. It's essentially a form of compensation. "So, out of the 12 million yuan, 7.2 million goes to Zhang Ke, 1.8 million to Luo Feng. I get 1.2 million, and Chen Gu and the other two each get 600,000," Gao Feng said after inputting the data. "The Tiger Mastiff monster we killed on the way back sold for 10 million yuan. Everyone contributed significantly to this battle, so Luo Feng and I will each take 30%, and Chen Gu, Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Zhang Ke will each take 10%. Any objections?" Everyone nodded. Zhang Ke hadn't contributed much to the last battle, but everyone considered it a form of compensation for him, and Zhang Ke himself didn't say much... warrior squads valued human connection. "I and Luo Feng each get 3 million yuan, and the others each get 1 million yuan." Gao Feng smiled slightly. "Finally, the Bloodthirsty Tank sold for the highest price, 16 million yuan. Chen Gu contributed the most, killing it with a single shot, so he takes 60%! The others contributed equally, so Luo Feng, Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Zhang Ke each get 10%. I'll pass on my share." If there was anyone in the squad who was the wealthiest, it was naturally Gao Feng. In regular hunts for Beast General-level monsters, Gao Feng was almost always the main force, so over the years, he had earned several, even ten times, more money than the others. Therefore, when he hadn't exerted much effort, Gao Feng was always modest and deferential. "So, Chen Gu receives 11.26 million yuan, Luo Feng receives 6.52 million yuan, I receive 4.2 million yuan, Zhang Ke receives 9.91 million yuan, Wei Tie receives 3.3 million yuan, and Wei Qing receives 3.32 million yuan." Gao Feng announced the final distribution figures, smiling. "Of course, we still have one priceless treasure: the Silvermoon Direwolf's body materials, which will definitely fetch a sky-high price!"
