Chapter 58: Future Plans

However, Luo Feng was well aware of how incredibly difficult it would be to earn 30 billion!

Even a lower-tier Lord-class monster, if relatively weak, could only sell for 500 million to 1 billion Chinese Credits. Even if he hunted alone, killing ten Lord-class monsters in a year would earn him roughly 5 to 6 billion. Considering that even a War God-level expert would find hunting Lord-class monsters extremely challenging, earning 5 to 6 billion annually would already place him at a mid-tier level among War God-ranked experts.

And even then, it would take six or seven years of hard work.

Moreover, Luo Feng wasn’t even a War God-level expert yet. This time, he had simply been lucky enough to encounter an injured ‘Killer.’ But how often could he expect such luck?

“Earning 30 billion Chinese Credits is indeed difficult. But with my potential as a Psycho-Sensitive, I can make a determined effort and achieve it.”

“But to kill a Yanlong King?” Luo Feng thought with a bitter smile.

Even a Lord-class monster was already terrifying enough.

And beyond the Lord-class were the King-class beings—the absolute peak of Earth’s monsters! Among humanity, there were also those who surpassed the War God level, such as the world’s strongest fighter, ‘Hong,’ and the second strongest, ‘Leishen,’ both of whom had transcended the War God level. However, such individuals were extremely rare!

To kill a Yanlong King?

Even the strongest human warriors on Earth wouldn’t dare claim to have a complete guarantee of success.

“Haha, Life Elixir? Captain, wait until you guys reach the level of Hong, the strongest human, and then you can throw away some small change to buy me a Life Elixir,” Zhang Ke laughed. The members of the Hammer Team couldn’t help but chuckle too. Reaching Hong’s level?

Someone who could rival a national army—30 billion would indeed be small change for them. But how many people in the world could ever reach such a level?

“Come on, let’s go eat!” Gao Feng laughed.

…

On the third floor of the HR Alliance Mall, inside a private dining room of a restaurant, the table was filled with dishes. The members of the Hammer Team gathered around a laptop placed at the edge of the table. Captain ‘Gao Feng’ quickly passed the fingerprint scan and entered three dynamic passwords to access the team’s shared account.

“Eight billion Chinese Credits. As previously agreed, this time the ‘Killer’ was entirely Luo Feng’s achievement from start to finish. Therefore, Luo Feng will receive the highest share—80%. The remaining 20% will be split among the rest of us five. Any objections?” Gao Feng looked around at the others.

Everyone nodded, and Luo Feng smiled too.

The distribution rules of warrior teams had to balance both competition and unity.

“Luo Feng gets 640 million, and each of the rest of us gets 32 million,” Gao Feng quickly processed the transfers.

“Beep.”

“Transfer successful.”

One notification after another appeared on the computer screen. Luo Feng glanced at his communication watch, which had already received a balance update notification—his account had just increased by 640 million.

“Tonight’s dinner is on Luo Feng!” Gao Feng shouted with a grin.

“Right, let’s take advantage of the rich guy!” Chen Gu also put on a face of indignation, “Man, this time I almost made as much as I did in all these years. It’s so enviable!”

The members of the Hammer Team talked and laughed casually, eating and drinking heartily, clearly enjoying themselves.

Every time they returned from the wilderness zone, it was like coming back from the brink of death! In the wilderness zone, especially when entering the ruined city areas, every moment was filled with tension. In those cities, no one dared to relax—after all, monster swarms and General-class monsters were just too numerous in the cities.

“Cheers!”

“Come on, let’s have a toast, brothers!”

“Let’s celebrate, Old Zhang. We’ve been brothers for nearly ten years now. I don’t know how many times you’ve saved my life on the battlefield. I won’t say much more, let’s have a toast!”

This dinner served a dual purpose: on one hand, it was a farewell for Zhang Ke, who was about to leave the team; on the other, it celebrated Luo Feng’s joining as a Psycho-Sensitive, bringing new hope for the team’s future. Everyone felt a complex mix of emotions, so they drank and talked heartily until after nine o’clock at night, when they moved to a teahouse nearby and found a private room to rest.

Inside the private room, each person had a cup of green tea in front of them.

“Zhang Ke will be joining the martial arts academy as an ‘instructor’ from now on,” Gao Feng looked around at everyone, “So from now on, the Hammer Team will consist of five people: me, Luo Feng, Chen Gu, Wei Tie, and Wei Qing! And Luo Feng is a Psycho-Sensitive, already stronger than me, and his future growth will surely be even more amazing.”

No one was unhappy about Luo Feng’s strength.

Having a powerful member in the team meant a higher survival rate, easier monster hunts, and more profits!

For example, if it weren’t for Luo Feng killing the Killer this time, how could the rest of the team have earned 32 million? Although Luo Feng got the lion’s share while they only got a small portion, even that small portion was much more than what they used to earn through painstaking efforts hunting General-class monsters.

“However, among us five, Luo Feng is the strongest. I think we mustn’t hold Luo Feng back!” Gao Feng said.

Wei Qing and Wei Tie’s expressions slightly changed.

They were both ‘Senior Warrior-class,’ and indeed somewhat of a burden.

“Captain, I’m also a newcomer,” Luo Feng couldn’t help but say.

“Luo Feng, that’s not what I meant,” Gao Feng smiled slightly, “Wei Tie, Wei Qing, you two brothers don’t need to think too much… My point is, our team’s monster-hunting targets should aim higher from now on! So our first goal for the Hammer Team is—every member must become a General-level warrior!”

“Captain…” Wei Tie couldn’t help but speak up, “My brother and I still have some distance from the General level.”

“I understand that.”

Gao Feng smiled confidently, “I have an idea, let’s see if you all agree.”

Luo Feng nodded, and Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Chen Gu all listened attentively.

“Wei Tie, Wei Qing, Chen Gu, each of you will buy an A-grade gene enhancer,” Gao Feng said, “This way, in terms of physical strength alone, Wei Tie and Wei Qing will directly reach the ‘Junior General-level,’ while Chen Gu’s strength and speed will also increase significantly, nearly reaching the General level.”

Luo Feng slightly furrowed his brows.

Currently, the mainstream gene enhancers were divided into A-grade and B-grade. B-grade was for ordinary people to take, allowing them to become warriors! However, those who became warriors through gene enhancers usually had limited future potential.

A-grade gene enhancers were for warriors to take. After taking them, one’s strength would generally double! Of course, if one’s original strength was already very high, the effect of the gene enhancer would diminish.

However, even at the half-price offered by the Limit Martial Arts Academy, an A-grade gene enhancer cost 360 million Chinese Credits!

“Captain, after all these years of hard work plus today’s earnings, I only have 430 million,” Wei Tie frowned, “At my current rate of progress, reaching the Junior General level is almost my limit. If I spend all my money on this, how much will I have left when I retire in the future?”

People had to plan for the future.

Money wasn’t easy to earn. After more than a decade of hard work, he had only earned 430 million. And now that he was getting older, spending 360 million on a gene enhancer—wasn’t all his hard work going to be wasted on this?

“Captain, I use firearms, which also cost a lot. 360 million at once…” Chen Gu was also somewhat hesitant.

“Don’t worry.”

Gao Feng smiled slightly, “Buying A-grade gene enhancers doesn’t have to cost that much. Back when I first became a warrior, I was still a rookie. At that time, I joined a warrior team and had a close brother. Now, my dear brother has become a Senior General! He has connections and can get a gene enhancer for only 200 million.”

“Two hundred million?” Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Chen Gu were shocked.

“This, two hundred million?” Luo Feng was also stunned.

The Limit Martial Arts Academy’s online mall usually offered the half-price, which was almost the lowest in the market. Even then, it cost 360 million. But Gao Feng had a connection and could get it for only 200 million?

“I’ll first have my good brother buy it for me, and then you can pay me back to get the gene enhancer. This way, you can all trust me,” Gao Feng smiled. In fact, there was something else he didn’t say—only within his brother’s internal organization, members could purchase them at a special discount.

And to prevent members from reselling, if you bought more, the organization would raise the price accordingly.

However…

Gao Feng would rather spend a bit more money himself than let Chen Gu, Wei Tie, and Wei Qing spend more. After all, in terms of wealth, he was much richer than the other members of the team.

“In the future, our entire team will all be General-level warriors,” Gao Feng smiled slightly, “Chen Gu will handle firepower suppression, Wei Tie and Wei Qing will clear out regular Beast Soldier-class monsters, and Luo Feng and I will focus on fighting General-class monsters! With the efficiency of our team, we can definitely kill a large number of General-class monsters. Our earning speed in the future will be ten times or even higher than before.”

Luo Feng couldn’t help but feel delighted in his heart.

According to Gao Feng’s plan, the future Hammer Team would become absolutely elite. The entire team being General-level warriors, plus himself being a Psycho-Sensitive… the strength of this team would be amazing.
