Master of the End Times - Chapter 607
Chapter 607: Hiring Yuan Xiaoguang
Yuan Xiaoguang was with Qin Feng and Bai Li when they scouted for the internal situation of the Blight Butterflies, however, the beast lure placed by the Shinla Devils had attracted the besiege of countless number of ultra beasts, he was then poisoned and hallucinated.
As he was knocked down by Qin Feng, he would certainly not know what had happened. He was only awakened later and found out that the mission had already been accomplished, and he did not have a good sleep from last night.
He was genuinely unaware of how he had managed to escape from such a dire situation.
Yuan Xiaoguang finally realized that it was Qin Feng and Bai Li who had killed the Butterfly Emperor and annihilated the insectoids’ lair.
“Wait a minute, what is happening? Only the both of them, and I was out cold, how could they take down the insectoid emperor and its lair? Am I still affected by poison? Are these still hallucinations?”
Yuan Xiaoguang could not hold back on his intensifying doubts. However, he immediately frowned and wondered, “No, if I were hallucinating, shouldn’t I be the most powerful one? It must be me who had taken down the insectoid emperor and its lair, therefore, all of these are real?”
It was certainly real, Yuan Xiaoguang’s conscious energy was sensing everything, and it was different from when he was still experiencing hallucinations.
However, the outcome was indeed jaw-dropping, not to mention he had experienced it himself.
Everyone in the surroundings had also sunk into an uproar.
Xu Qing approached and could not resist his urge to clear the doubts.
“Were you at the thirteenth region yesterday and annihilated an entire insectoid lair?”
Qin Feng nodded to affirm, “Yes, upon our parting, I went there with Master Quong Po!”
“You’re such a capable person. Well, perhaps you could handle it alone, but are you planning to bring along anyone else to the fifth region this time?”
Qin Feng paused for a moment and continued, “Hmm, maybe just a few, to help in cleaning up the battlefield!”
Xu Qing was left speechless, he was concerned about Qin Feng’s safety in going into the battlefield alone, yet Qin Feng was only planning to bring along helpers to clean up the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Bai Li nodded and answered, “When we had annihilated the insectoid lair earlier, there were still some ultra beasts that had sunk into the ruins, and most of them were still unrecoverable!”
The main reason was the restriction on time in cleaning up!
Some of the aptitude users were alerted and they kept on listening.
Could it be real? Perhaps a trip into the thirteenth region could result in lucrative rewards!
“Alright, alright, all of you may go, be mindful of your safety, and remember to report back to the aptitude user lobby by the end of the day!”
“Of course!”
Qin Feng reassured in response and then walked out from the aptitude user hall; he then walked outside.
There was exactly a gathering outside the aptitude user lobby of the Central City, it was made up of merely D-tiers, and some of them were only E-tiers.
All of them were gunners that were hoping that someone could bring them to the frontline and try their luck for some battle achievements.
However, they were the ones who were prepared to die at any time.
Storming the frontline along with high tier aptitude users would not be an easy task either, they would still need to scout for the enemies and explore the path ahead. During risky situations, they might even be left behind by the powerful aptitude users, and fed to the insectoids.
In other words, they were merely used as baits and scape-goats.
What could they do more with such low capabilities?
However, high risk would often yield high return, and the leftover items from the high tier aptitude users would already be equivalent to the reward if they were to put up a life-or-death struggle for half a year.
Qin Feng and Bai Li walked out and the low tier aptitude users instinctively stared at them. As there was nothing for them to benefit from, their heads were then bowed down in disappointment.
Most of them were D-tier aptitude users.
While some of them were still E-tiers, and with their limited capabilities, they were far from qualified to enter the aptitude user lobby.
“Recruiting five E-tier aptitude users to the fifth region for a day to be responsible for gathering materials!” Qin Feng announced the offer.
The crowd was looking at each other, while some of them were obviously doubtful of Qin Feng’s offer, they were afraid that their lives might not be secured, or perhaps Qin Feng was just looking for a sacrificial scape-goat!
All of a sudden, nobody was up for the offer.
Qin Feng did not expect such a situation to occur.
It was at that moment, a person rushed forward from behind to catch up with Qin Feng and answered, “I’ll go!”
Qin Feng turned around, and he was surprised to see Yuan Xiaoguang!
Qin Feng was between tears and laughter. “I am looking for an E-tier!”
“You can just assume that I am an E-tier!” Yuan Xiaoguang answered immediately.
Qin Feng asked, “Is your worth cheaper than an E-tier aptitude user? I am only looking for a labor that is exchangeable with an E-tier beast general core.”
Yuan Xiaoguang was instantly stunned. “Well, this is too cheap, I do not want much, just a C-tier beast general core to hire me, how about that?”
With that being said, everyone else was instantly discouraged in taking up the offer.
For Qin Feng, an E-tier core would only cost less than five million, and he had countless of them from his past ultra beast hunting where he could easily grab a handful of them, or else, he could just pay with energy cubes.
Quong Po did not care about those either, he could just pay them with C-tier beast general cores.
Furthermore, aptitude users could never kill and obtain beast general cores that were the same tier as them, hence, it was a lucrative offer.
“Not cheap, not at all, Master, count me in!”
An E-tier aptitude user took the risk of offending Yuan Xiaoguang and cut off the conversation.
An E-tier beast general core for a day, would it not be more than a billion in a month? It was like joining a massive scale battle.
“Master, count me in too!”
“Me too, me too!”
Soon, Qin Feng was surrounded by a crowd.
Yuan Xiaoguang immediately regretted his decision.
“Come to think of it, hiring you will not make a huge difference, it will just be another C-tier beast general core, fifty million, count yourself in!”
With Qin Feng’s current capability, he was definitely far ahead of other C-tier aptitude users, it was nothing for him. A C-tier beast general core would only be the last item that he would consider, although the labels of beast king and beast general only differed by one word, their prices differed by a thousand folds, and beast emperors differed by ten thousand folds.
If Qin Feng were to keep that information to himself, the others would definitely be unaware of it.
“Alright, you too, and all three of you, let’s go!”
Obviously, all five people who voiced out earlier were selected, and all of them were over the moon.
There were eight of them that entered into two separate hover tanks and left the Dusan Central City.
As Dusan Basin had entered into its winter season, most of the ultra beasts were unwilling to move around, and their infrequent movements had allowed opportunities to take on a besieging formation. During the summer season, the insectoids would roam around the Dusan Basin and it would be forced into defensive mode, or sending A-tier aptitude users to destroy several of those newly-established lairs.
Therefore, the initial stage of entering the region was rather safe.
Beep beep beep!
Qin Feng’s was alerted by his communicator, it was from the temporarily formed group communication.
“Qin Feng, we are about to enter into the yellow region, should we still use the hover tank?” It was Yuan Xiaoguang.
As seen from the map, Qin Feng and the others had already entered into the basin land, and the yellow region indicated a certain level of risk around the area. However, the numbers of insectoids were still low and not alarming.
“Move on!”
“Alright!” Yuan Xiaoguang could only allow the hover tank to tail behind Qin Feng.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng activated his conscious energy to shroud the two hover tanks with dark runes.
