Chapter 143: A Bountiful Harvest
Emerald Sky, city proper.
A team of more than three hundred people, whose weakest members were Quasi-Martial Artists in A6 grade battle armor, with as many as twenty Quasi-Martial Artists wearing B1 and B2 grade battle armor.
At the head, a winged youth and a four-meter-tall, four-armed, beautiful sub-demon woman both radiated the blood qi of Martial Artists, equipped with pale blue B4 grade battle armor.
At this moment, the two of them were each commanding their teams, clearing the dozen or so low-level monsters that had suddenly appeared on the street.
“Up ahead is the Martial Artist Association. Miss Tanya, according to our agreement, when the time comes, we split what we get in the Martial Artist Association forty-sixty, but I get to pick one item first. I hope Miss Tanya will not forget.” Mo Ke, the winged youth, looked at the low-level monsters that were almost cleared out, and smiled as he glanced at the giant woman over four meters tall.
“Of course. Our Nine Streets Gang has always kept its word. Whether it is the Martial Artist Association’s martial skills, cultivation methods, or the lord-level monster materials treasured by the Martial Artist Association, you can pick as you please.” Tanya, over four meters tall, with crimson skin and four arms, said heartily.
“Miss Tanya is indeed straightforward. Then I will not stand on ceremony when the time comes.” Mo Ke, looking at Tanya, whose blood qi even surpassed his, smiled in response.
Tanya was the daughter ranked seventeenth of the Gang Leader of the Nine Streets Gang, and the one with the greatest Martial Artist talent. Not yet twenty-four, she had already been rated by the Martial Artist Association as having special grade potential, only a breath away from becoming an intermediate level Martial Artist. This year she had even been taken early into the Genius Training Camp of Wanxing City, a genius even he had to look up to.
Plus, the Nine Streets Gang was originally stronger than the Los Family, so Mo Ke had gone to Tanya for cooperation at the first opportunity.
Although he only took forty percent of the loot, as long as he could obtain the treasured lord-level monster materials from the Martial Artist Association, taking a smaller share of the loot did not matter.
As beings surpassing high-level monsters, lord-level monsters could be said to be treasures in their entirety. Even their flowing blood, if ordinary Martial Artists directly used it to soak their bodies, could improve the strength of their bodies.
As for the flesh of lord-level monsters, it could be used to extract energy and make Type Three energy potions for those above Martial Artist level to use.
Ordinary Martial Artist families had basically no chance to obtain items of this level; only with the fall of Emerald Sky did they have a chance to come and see if they could get some.
Otherwise, if they wanted to obtain them under normal circumstances, they would have to hunt lord-level monsters. But lord-level monsters usually commanded large numbers of monsters. Even experts above Martial Artist level could not hunt them alone; they would need the cooperation of more than a dozen, even dozens of people, to have any chance of taking down a lord-level monster. Ordinary Martial Artist families could not even think about it.
Just as Mo Ke and Tanya were talking, a member of the Nine Streets Gang suddenly ran over.
“Young Lady, Brajiji is asking for aid. He says a group of humans called Gray-clothed Demons keep sending people to attack. They have suffered heavy casualties and need reinforcements.”
“To dare attack the personnel stationed by our major powers, these Gray-clothed Demons really are unusually bold.”
“Young Lady, should we send people over to support them?”
“Once the battle here is over, deploy fifty people over.”
Tanya did not care much about Brajiji and the others being attacked. If a wilderness gang or an unqualified suburbs faction really sent people into the city proper, then in the mutual slaughter between the two sides, casualties were inevitable.
Since Brajiji could still send out a call for aid, that meant they had held for now. It was just that they were short on manpower and it would be difficult to block the next attacks, so it was enough to replenish some people.
“Gray-clothed Demons, huh?” Mo Ke at the side could not help but be curious what kind of faction this was.
To dare directly attack the stationed personnel of all major powers, that courage was no small matter. It was equivalent to offending all the stationed factions at once.
Moreover, even aside from whether they offended all the stationed factions, just trying to charge into the city proper itself was a very foolish decision.
The suburbs major powers of the three major cities together, although each only sent a small number of people to station there, added up, the number of experts was considerable.
Even if their Los Family were to attack, they would likely pay a terrible price. Not to mention that afterwards there would be reinforcements from all major powers. Even if the Los Family were fought to annihilation, they still might not be able to enter the city proper. It could be said to be a completely unprofitable act.
Everything was just as Mo Ke thought. After receiving the requests for aid, all the major powers sent people to support.
In a short time, the number of experts gathered around Brajiji and Jia Siwei exceeded three hundred, even more than the original stationed personnel.
Outside Emerald Sky, in a hidden tunnel.
Players kept resurrecting one after another until the whole tunnel was packed, and each face looked very unpleasant.
“Aren’t these elite monsters not supposed to respawn? Why are there even more of them this time than before?” Yi Ye Fu Yun sat down in frustration, unable to understand why the stationed elites had suddenly surged to nearly four hundred.
“We probably triggered some mechanism.” Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang could not help but fall into thought and analyze. “In the previous battle, both those elite monsters and the leader-level head monster still had their injuries. That shows that this large group of elite monsters this time should not be a respawn. They are very likely reinforcements from within the city proper. If we take out these reinforcements, we should be able to get in.”
“The monsters in the city proper have decent intelligence. We have not even wiped out the gatekeepers yet, and they already know to send reinforcements. If they keep reinforcing, we do not know how long we will have to grind like this.” Ye Qinglu disagreed. “Although we gathered quite a lot of B2 grade arrows in the city before, as long as we die, then even if we kill those elite monsters, we get nothing. I still recommend a breakout.”
“I agree. Grinding against those elite monsters like this is too not worth it.” Yi Ye Fu Yun nodded.
After several waves of attacks, they had lost a large number of B2 grade arrows. Even though they had wiped out various gangs in Emerald Sky earlier and obtained more than two thousand B2 grade arrows, they were not that prodigal.
“We can only do that.” Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang felt that dragging this out was not an option either. After all, this was a limited-time event. With no points and contribution coming in, they would miss the five slots.
Yi Ye Fu Yun then distributed another batch of B2 grade arrows. Just as they were preparing to leave the tunnel, they suddenly saw several figures quickly approaching, each carrying a few metal boxes.
“Why are Fang Zhen and the others back?” Yi Ye Fu Yun looked at Fang Zhen, who was carrying two metal boxes and seemed extremely excited, and was very puzzled, not understanding what Fang Zhen was so happy about.
As for the metal boxes Fang Zhen was holding, although they were a bit far away and not very clear, he could tell they were A6 grade battle armor.
“Master of the Pavilion, these are the seven sets of A6 grade battle armor from this run.” Fang Zhen excitedly had the other two put down the metal boxes they were carrying.
“Mm, though they are a bit damaged. For seven sets of A6 grade battle armor, I will give you twenty-one million points and fourteen thousand contribution.” Lin Qi looked over the seven sets of A6 grade battle armor. Several places had holes punched through, but they should not be hard to repair. He then praised him. “Right now your contribution is ranked first. I hope you can keep it up.”
“Thank you, Master of the Pavilion.” Hearing he was already first in contribution, Fang Zhen’s smile grew even brighter.
“Old Zhen, what is going on? Where did you get so many sets of A6 grade battle armor?” Yi Ye Fu Yun walked forward, unable to hold back asking.
Although A6 grade battle armor was not rare in Emerald Sky, you still had to kill a group of wilderness gang members in the suburbs to occasionally get a set.
For Fang Zhen to submit seven sets at once, that efficiency was extraordinary.
If there was anything really high value in Emerald Sky, it would be some B grade raw ore and various potions they had found, or some electronic equipment they could not understand, plus books or storage chips that recorded important information.
But compared to A6 grade battle armor, the contribution these things gave was far behind.
Even a random damaged set of A6 grade battle armor was at least worth fifteen hundred contribution. A complete set could directly grant three thousand contribution, the item with the highest contribution value among all items.
“Sigh, have you still not been farming elite monsters?” Fang Zhen looked at Yi Ye Fu Yun in astonishment.
“Farming elite monsters?” Yi Ye Fu Yun was even more confused.
“Don’t tell me you have not gone to attack the city proper yet?” Fang Zhen looked at Yi Ye Fu Yun in surprise. “There are six main streets leading to the city proper, each guarded by a large number of elite monsters. They are a great thing. All these elite monsters wear A6 grade battle armor. As long as you can kill them, you can get a set of A6 grade battle armor. Quite a few people are farming these elite monsters now.”
“How did you take away those A6 grade battle armors? The elite monsters had no objections?” Yi Ye Fu Yun looked at Fang Zhen in shock.
“Of course they had objections. After we stripped one set off, those elite monsters went crazy chasing us. But in the battles inside the city, once they spread out, their strength drops sharply, which instead gives us chances to kill more of them and get more sets of A6 grade battle armor.” Fang Zhen sighed. “Now those elite monsters have gotten smarter. When we charge in, they do not give chase anymore, so the number of A6 grade battle armors we can get has dropped. It is a pity the stationed elite monsters do not respawn. If they did, we could farm A6 grade battle armor infinitely.”
“…” After hearing this, Yi Ye Fu Yun felt as if his ears were ringing.
He had never imagined the game could be played like this.
While they were thinking about how to get into the city proper, Fang Zhen and the others were thinking about how to exploit a bug and farm A6 grade battle armor infinitely.
At this moment, not only Yi Ye Fu Yun, even Lin Qi, who had been sorting items at the side, was greatly shocked.
Previously, Lin Qi had been a bit puzzled that at the beginning Fang Zhen and the others had contributed very few sets of A6 grade battle armor, yet three hours ago it was as if they had found a warehouse full of A6 grade battle armor. Every time they came back, they brought back a large batch of A6 grade battle armor.
The more than one hundred and fifty sets of A6 grade battle armor he now had piled in the medium transport vehicle, more than half had been brought back by Fang Zhen and the others.
“Yi Ye, are you still not leaving?” Ye Qinglu looked at the dazed Yi Ye Fu Yun, not understanding what was wrong with him. “Xiao Yuan and the others have already gone.”
“Big sis.” Yi Ye Fu Yun looked at Ye Qinglu, his breathing a bit rapid. “I think I have found a way to get rich!”
