Chapter 166 - Certified F-tier (2/2)
Seeing the merchant’s commendable bravado, Qin Feng tapped on Bai Li’s waist, a gesture for her to retrieve the items.
With a wave of her delicate arm, dinner-plate-sized armor scales showered out from a point in mid-air until a large mound was formed on the ground.
Merchants and sellers around them alike were wide-eyed at the scene.
“I’ll leave the counting to you.” Qin Feng said.
The merchant gulped nervously, his face flushed. With a stutter, he replied, “That uh, boss, can I get some of my friends to buy it together? This is, uh, a bit too much for me to handle!”
“Big boss, are you selling? If there’s too much then I’m offering to buy at 12,600 yuan!”
“12,700 yuan for me!”
“Thirteen grand!”
The first merchant was now drenched in cold sweat as the other merchants moved in like hungry predators.
“Hey, you’re all breaking the rules! You can’t just swoop right in and s.n.a.t.c.h away my goods!”
However, there was no denying that the number of goods was too much for a single merchant to handle. Each piece here could provide a profit of around two thousand yuan but that would easily reach up to more than ten thousand elsewhere. Too bad his business capital was simply inadequate to handle this amount of goods!
Qin Feng was certainly not looking to lose out in this deal.
“Thirteen grand, tell me how much you need!” Qin Feng announced.
The entire place suddenly erupted with the shouts of greedy merchants.
On that night, Qin Feng had killed around a thousand and two hundred blacksteel ants. Even without selling the materials he had foraged from the ultra beasts, he managed to earn around 16 million yuan from the single deal alone.
This amount was more than enough to earn the envy of many other F-tier mercenaries.
However, there was one group of people who was in for a greater shock—those who had consistently tracked Qin Feng’s progress.
“Qin Feng had that many blacksteel armor? He must’ve killed a mountain of blacksteel ants then!” Zhao Yu said in astonishment. “But the points he acc.u.mulated did not reflect that!”
Zhang Tianche, being the more attentive person, understood quite well what Qin Feng’s strength was like, which was why it did not shock him as much as it did the others.
Maybe it was because he did not want to expose his actual strength to the people around him!
“Footage quality goes downhill pretty quickly after sunset. Maybe that’s why Qin Feng did not bother to turn on his recorder!” Zhang Tianche swiftly came up with an excuse to back Qin Feng up.
Zhao Yu on the other hand, felt a sting in her heart. “That would’ve given him even more points though!”
Gao Linghan, who unintentionally eavesdropped on their exchange felt a p.r.i.c.kly warmth spreading over his face.
He initially thought that the battle points Qin Feng collected was nothing impressive, but the materials he had gathered were almost five folds greater than the points he had! For there to be such a huge gap in difference, it left Gao Linghan in despair and humiliation!
It appeared that he was no longer worthy to be Qin Feng’s rival.
Not wanting to see Qin Feng’s face, Gao Linghan rose from his seat and gave his final order of the day. “I want all of you to hit the sack soon. A fight’s waiting for us tomorrow.”
Gao Linghan left the place as soon as he said that, returning to the simple room from before to catch some shut-eye.
When Qin Feng finally returned to the campfire, only a handful of his team members remained at the site. He was completely oblivious to the fact that he had caused utter despair in the first-rate genius that labeled himself as Qin Feng’s rival!
The simple room had limited amenities. Luckily, it had one of the most basic of all amenities—a clean water supply. After freshening himself up, he climbed onto the iron-framed bed and slept with Bai Li between his arms.
The night was tranquil, until a woman’s moan echoed through the air from afar.
Bai Li’s ears perked up.
Qin Feng’s mouth twitched. Swiftly, he covered both of her ears and ordered, “Sleep!”
“O-okay!”
Bai Li gave a tiny yawn and fell asleep in an instant!
She slept with no issues, even with Qin Feng’s hands covering her ears tightly. Seeing the sleeping beauty between his arms, he could not help but sigh.
“What great energy he has.” Qin Feng muttered under his breath.
This room was far from being sound-proof. The camp was filled with men who fought constantly in the frontlines, staring death in the eyes nearly every second of the day. Naturally, they would have to find some place to vent out their frustrations, to release their pent-up energy after a hard day’s work out on the battlefield.
This was men’s fundamental flaw.
When Han Town fell, the first people to be rescued were those living in slums which were located at the outskirts of the small town. The fact that they had been rescued did not mean that three meals a day was guaranteed. In order to survive, many of them had to offer something up for sale. For those living in poverty, that “something” came in the form of their bodies. Thus, the practice of prost.i.tution became the norm in the provisional colony.
