59: Chapter 59: Shall we form a pioneer team?

Hundreds of eyes

focused uniformly on the person in charge, who was so excited at that moment that he looked as if he was about to faint.

Watching the other party tremblingly calculate the prices of all the collected items and pull out an appraisal list.

"Mr., Mr. Chu... It's a total of twenty-one million seven hundred thousand source energy points. If you are willing to accept this transaction, I can make the call to raise the price for you to twenty-three million!"

23 million source energy points!

When this figure was announced, the entire place fell into a dead silence where the drop of a needle could be heard.

Pairs of shocked and burning gazes all converged on Chu Hong and the others, especially Wang Suming, who at this moment felt that those burning gazes around him wished they could strip him clean on the spot...

"Mr. Chu, look, this amount is too large. As a small camp trading post manager, I really can't handle it. How about I print out a receipt for you, and you can go directly to the guild to collect it?"

The trading post manager asked nervously.

If he could hug this thick thigh tightly, wouldn't his monthly acquisition tasks from now on be overfulfilled by a sure thing?

Right now, he was the camp trading post manager.

After that, he could be called the head of the outer-base procurement department!

And after that, he would directly become the procurement chief of the Huangshan Base City branch...

In his mind, the manager, who seemed to have already seen himself marrying a wealthy and beautiful woman and reaching the peak of his life, walked up to Chu Hong at this moment, his attitude being nothing short of respectful and fawning.

As he spoke, as if thinking of something else, he suggested in a low voice.

"In addition, Mr. Chu, your secret realm survival and searching talent far exceeds all novice Pioneers I have ever seen. Even many veteran Pioneers who have been active between camps and secret realms year-round are far inferior to your earnings, but... if you continue to trade as an individual Pioneer, you will need to pay a huge unnecessary tax."

"Take this time for example, out of the twenty-three million source energy points, you might have to pay five million just for the secret realm exploration tax."

"But if you establish a Pioneer Squad and complete this transaction in the name of the squad, the tax will plummet to less than one million..."

Hearing this.

Chu Hong hadn't said anything yet.

Wang Suming, who heard this from the side, took the lead in nodding excitedly again and again.

"Brother Hong, let's establish a Pioneer Squad, with you as the captain, plus me and classmate Song Jiaojiao, and we can just go wild and slaughter everything! Isn't this [Thunder-Horned Lizardman Tribe] secret realm just something we can slaughter however we want?"

Chu Hong turned his gaze towards Song Jiaojiao.

The latter did not speak, but smiled and revealed the ring on her finger.

The meaning was self-evident.

Seeing this, Chu Hong nodded directly as well.

"In that case, let's gather at the base guild hall tomorrow first and establish a Pioneer Squad..."

Entrusting the matters here to Butler Fubo to handle.

Chu Hong and the others once again walked into the secret realm entrance under the gaze of pairs of eyes.

Watching the three figures disappear.

The look of shock on Fubo's face, however, had still not faded.

Hesitating for a moment, he took out a communicator that looked like a brick phone from the carriage and dialed a number.

"Hello?"

From the earpiece came the voice of a dignified man.

"A-Fu, what is it?"

"Master, the young lady is planning to join someone's Pioneer Squad. It's a newly established team, the newcomer who fished out a grand red from the secret realm, Chu Hong..."

...

"Swish, swish..."

Within the dark field of vision, the sound of fierce flowing water in front of them was the first to reach the ears of Chu Hong and the other two.

Without Chu Hong needing to speak.

The three of them immediately understood their current location.

"Brother Hong?"

"Pioneers have no cowards! Charge!"

Holding his large shield, Wang Suming instinctively stood in front of Chu Hong and Song Jiaojiao.

Upon hearing Chu Hong's reply, a single sentence instantly stimulated the source energy all over his body.

He fiercely charged toward the bridge.

"Swoosh!"

Jet propulsion.

On the gun body of lord m14, under the stimulation of source energy, faint sparks accompanied by the distorted heat of sulfur, two purple-quality 7.62 bullets precisely pierced through the two patrolling Lizardman Warriors.

Song Jiaojiao hurriedly followed.

However.

Just at the moment when several people crossed the bridge, Chu Hong suddenly turned his head and threw a few square-shaped things onto the small bridge behind.

After a few sharp alarm sounds of "Beep, beep, beep",

the roaring explosion instantly blew the entire bridge body into pieces.

"Fatty, you take Song Jiaojiao to loot the altar's big guaranteed drop first!"

Chu Hong shouted out, and immediately after, a scarlet rose suddenly emerged in his hand.

This superpower named [Slaughter Overlord] obtained from the [heart of the overlord] made him instantly fall in love with this feeling after just trying it out in the previous match.

Not only could it instantly enhance attributes like speed, strength, and perception, but it could also instantly seize the source energy in the enemy's body by killing them when injured.

While recovering consumption, it quickly healed injuries.

It was simply an ultimate divine skill to quickly eliminate 'bots'!

"Bring the flower!"

Chu Hong's whole body erupted with scarlet light, and amidst a loud shout, charging instantly toward the few Lizardman Warriors who rushed at him first, only a harsh jet propulsion sound was heard.

and their heads were directly chopped off on the spot.

"Ordinary-grade monsters can only trouble those newcomers with poor equipment and strength. The combat power of these Lizardman Warriors can only be said to be slightly stronger than ordinary-grade zombies... They can't even compare to mutated zombies like [Shadow Barbie]."

...

Making such a huge commotion in the core area at the start.

instantly made the two teams that descended upon the northern and southern cliff tops alert.

"What kind of people descended upon the river valley entrance? To play it so big right off the bat, aren't they afraid of alarming two bosses at the same time?"

Above the northern cliff top.

An old man wearing a cowboy hat suddenly gunned down a Lizardman captain on the watchtower with the heavy sniper rifle in his hand on the spot.

Hearing the huge explosion happening at the bottom of the cliff, his face, full of the traces of time, couldn't help but reveal a look of solemnity and confusion.

"Old Tang, we need to hurry up. Those guys on the opposite side seem to be people from the Swift Knife Gang."

A companion's grappling hook flew out, and when the grappling hook flew back, there was unexpectedly an extra blood-dripping Lizardman throat bone.

Donald nodded. Beneath his cowboy hat, a pair of eyes looking through the scope and discovering the target suddenly lit up with a glimmer of surging source energy.

The lion crosshair precisely captured the body of a Lizardman Warrior who was gathering magic.

From his perspective, that Lizardman Warrior seemed to be locked on by a thermal imaging camera, and his heart, liver, spleen, lungs... and other places that were obviously fatal vitals all lit up with clear light.

Pulling the trigger.

"Bang!"

The sniper rifle gunshot rang out, and Donald pulled the bolt.

There was no need at all to check whether the previous target was already dead; within the crosshairs, the head of another Lizardman Warrior had already been instantly locked on.

"Bang!"

On the other side.

Compared to the programmatic and refined combat of the Falcon Squad where Donald was,

this five-person full-member Pioneer Squad named Cleaver Squad, which descended upon the southern cliff top and sought profits in this secret realm year-round, was much wilder.

A few smoke grenades fired around the outpost, and the thick smoke that diffused,

was their best cover for slaughter.

Team leader Lu Mo, with the purple-quality long saber in his hand, matching his Qiyuan Realm eighth-stage source energy strength, took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the alert Lizardman captain in the smoke.

"Pfft"

A slash upward, ambushing from behind, the sharp blade under the blessing of source energy easily chopped off one of the captain's arms, and blood spattered.

Another slash upon turning around.

Fatal with a single strike.

When the smoke cleared, a team member stood at the edge of the cliff, looking in the direction of the core area.

Suddenly shouting in pleasant surprise.

"Boss! There's a big fish! That seems to be the eldest young lady of the Rubiks Chamber of Commerce! We actually ran into her!"

Hearing this.

Lu Mo's dark, rough, and bandit-like face instantly couldn't help but reveal a trace of joy.

Stepping forward to take a look.

When he saw that there were surprisingly only two people by Song Jiaojiao's side,

He couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth savagely and greedily.

"Hahaha, it really is that old bastard President Song Ming's daughter! This time we've definitely hit the jackpot!"

His gaze looked toward a team member wearing glasses on the side.

"Number Three, did you bring that camera that never leaves your body? Brothers, grab that little girl, and then you'll be in charge of taking pictures. Let's first take all the equipment and collected items on their bodies, and after going out, use the photos to have a good chat with President Song Ming..."

"Hahaha"

A series of sinister chuckles came from several people.
