49: Chapter 49. A Tier 3 Corpse, Here You Go!

The cleanup of the battlefield officially began.

Shen Qingci held the tip of the cold edge in one hand.

She crouched beside the pile of Iron-Bone Hyena remains that had completely lost their shape.

She pried into the seam of the skull with the tip of her blade.

Two shimmering Tier 2 beast crystals.

Were precisely pried out and landed in her palm.

She flipped her palm, stored them in her personal storage space, stood up, and brushed off her knees.

"Tier 2 crystals, the quality is decent, they can sell for a few hundred thousand."

Su Ming was crouching nearby, using a branch to flip over another corpse.

His eyes were fixed on the two crystals as they disappeared.

He didn't speak.

He cursed internally.

According to the agreement, the crystals belonged to her.

But the problem was,

He was the one who killed them!

Su Ming felt a pang of heartache for two seconds.

He looked at the few intact corpses on the ground again.

Forget it, the crystals were the minor part.

The corpses were the main course.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, heavy footsteps came from the bushes nearby.

That Crimson Gold Wasteland Mastiff, which should have been ferocious and menacing,

Was now limping over.

Not only did it not take the opportunity to run away,

Instead, it used its mouth to bite the hind leg of the Iron-Bone Hyena it had killed,

And dragged it to Su Ming's feet with heavy grunts.

Then.

This giant beast, comparable to a bull,

Collapsed onto the ground with a "thud."

It rubbed its head against Su Ming's calf.

Its thick tail wagged like a propeller.

Its eyes were full of fawning and flattery.

It was as if it had carved words on its forehead.

"Dad, I'm with you now."

Su Ming was stunned for a moment.

Is this... it acknowledged him as its master?

He reached out and stroked that massive dog head.

He thought the dark gold mane would be prickly.

He didn't expect it to feel quite smooth.

It had the feel of an oversized Golden Retriever.

"Alright, from now on, you're one of my own."

Su Ming patted its head.

The Wasteland Mastiff whined comfortably, wagging its tail even more vigorously.

Shen Qingci passed by and glanced down.

"I didn't expect the Abyss Mastiff, known for its ferocity and bloodthirst, to actually accept you as its master."

"That goes without saying."

Su Ming continued stroking its fur, his face full of mysterious air and arrogance.

"Following me, its path in life has truly widened."

Shen Qingci couldn't be bothered to comment on him.

She turned to leave.

Just as she took a step, her pant leg was gently tugged by something.

She looked down.

The Wasteland Mastiff had crept over at some point.

It was nudging her calf with that head larger than a human face.

It was making low "wooing" sounds in its throat.

It didn't look at all like the fierce beast that had bitten off the Iron-Bone Hyena's neck just moments ago.

It even craftily lay down, exposing its soft belly.

Su Ming, who had just been immersed in the image of a great master,

Suddenly felt his hands empty.

Lines of black appeared on his head.

Traitor!

"Don't nudge..."

Shen Qingci instinctively took a step back.

The Wasteland Mastiff stepped forward, continuing to nudge.

This time, it even rubbed its body against her.

"I said, don't..."

She reached out to push away that big head.

But the moment her hand landed on the Wasteland Mastiff's head, she didn't push hard.

Her fingers sank into the dark gold mane.

The touch was ridiculously smooth.

Even for an aloof SS-rank genius girl,

She ultimately couldn't resist this fluffy offensive full of contrast.

The coldness in Shen Qingci's eyes softened a bit.

She bent down and gently rubbed the Wasteland Mastiff's dark gold mane.

"You're sensible, much cuter than someone else."

Her lips couldn't help but curl up.

In her cold voice, there was actually a hint of girlish joy.

The Wasteland Mastiff squinted its eyes comfortably as it was petted.

Its tail "patted" the ground, enjoying it immensely.

Su Ming, who had been completely left aside while still maintaining a cool pose: "..."

He looked at Shen Qingci, who looked exceptionally beautiful when she smiled.

Then he looked at the dog that seemed desperate to grow onto her leg.

The corners of his mouth twitched twice.

"No, you look so honest and reliable, why do you have two faces?"

Su Ming pointed at the Wasteland Mastiff, speechless.

"Who exactly is your master? Your speed of betrayal is too fast!"

The Wasteland Mastiff perfunctorily lifted its eyelids to glance at him.

Then immediately turned its head to continue rubbing its head against Shen Qingci's palm.

Su Ming painfully held his forehead.

He suddenly had a strong premonition.

He didn't just adopt a pet.

He had adopted a love rival who would compete for favor with him.

Su Ming looked at the seven Iron-Bone Hyena corpses scattered on the ground and turned to ask Shen Qingci.

"How much more do we need for our mission points?"

Shen Qingci tapped the tactical terminal on her wrist.

She swiped her fingers across the screen, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Su Ming leaned over to take a look.

"How much is left?"

Shen Qingci turned the screen for him to see.

[Mission Training Points: 970]

"How are these points calculated?"

Shen Qingci retracted the terminal.

"Tier 1 beast is 50 points, Tier 2 beast is 100 points, Tier 3 beast is 300 points, and Source Beast points are doubled across the board."

As she spoke, her voice became quieter and quieter.

In the end, she simply didn't want to talk anymore.

Her gaze fell on the seven corpses of various shapes on the ground.

A total of seven Iron-Bone Hyenas.

The Wasteland Mastiff and she each took care of the weakest Tier 2 one.

The remaining four were Tier 2.

And one Hyena Queen that had forcibly frenzied and broken through to Tier 3.

They were all killed by the man in front of her...

No.

This monster insta-killed them.

Four Tier 2s meant 400 points.

One Tier 3 Beast King meant 300 points.

Adding them up, that's 700 points.

She had been at the Military University for a year, risking her life with classmates several times.

The personal effective points she had worked hard to accumulate were only 820.

As a result, today.

In just this short while.

The points this guy scored almost caught up to her entire year's effort.

Damn it.

How can the gap between people be even larger than the gap between humans and dogs!

Previously at the Military University, those peers who were called "geniuses."

Compared to Su Ming, can they even be called geniuses?

Looking at them now.

Those prodigies are nothing.

They can only be called noobs.

Shen Qingci forced herself not to think about this.

Definitely not think about it.

Su Ming didn't notice that she had already criticized him in her heart.

He was very satisfied with his performance just now.

He patted his chest and grinned.

"Don't worry, with me here, you're guaranteed to pass."

After saying that, his eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together.

He trotted towards the battered corpse of the Tier 3 Hyena Queen.

He walked up to it, crouched down, and examined it carefully.

The difference between Tier 3 and Tier 2 didn't look exaggerated.

But looking closely, the density and thickness of the bone armor were clearly a level higher.

He pried open the crack at the edge.

The cross-section inside shimmered with a black metallic luster.

He didn't know how many mass points he could get if he devoured it.

Shen Qingci paced over, glanced at it, and her tone carried genuine regret.

"It's a pity, the Tier 3 crystal in the skull must have been shattered by that slap of yours."

"Otherwise, that crystal alone could sell for two million Federal Coins."

Su Ming froze on the spot.

Two million?!

It was slapped away by him.

The smile on Su Ming's face disappeared.

He felt as if someone was right in front of him.

Pushing a luxury car into a crusher.

And he was the one who pressed the switch.

He didn't like the violent version of himself from just now.

And he seriously condemned himself for three seconds.

He must be gentle in the future.

Absolutely no violence.

Must learn to be delicate.

Hitting the head is wrong.

Next time, must remember to avoid the head.

That's all money!

Su Ming endured the heartache and waved his hand.

He directly stored the huge pile of the Hyena Queen's remains into the system space.

Shen Qingci was stunned.

"After a beast goes into a frenzy, its genetic sequence has completely collapsed, and the flesh and bones have no research value."

"You're picking this up too?"

Su Ming stood up, looking serious.

"My talent evolution requires absorbing various diverse material energies."

"Although this thing is useless, it still helps with the evolution of the sequence within my body."

"I won't go into the theory with you; you wouldn't understand even if I explained it."

Shen Qingci: "..."

Wouldn't understand?

She had perfect grades in all theoretical courses at the Federal Central Military University.

She wouldn't understand?

Shen Qingci remembered the dirty joke he made earlier about being "able to be big or small, expanding and contracting freely."

"Pah!"

Her pretty face flushed slightly, she spat to the side, and stepped back in disgust.

She couldn't be bothered to deal with this pervert who talked nonsense.

Seeing her walk away, Su Ming immediately calmed his mind and entered the system space with his consciousness.

He issued a command to the pile of Hyena Queen remains.

"System, devour!"

The wind of the Ash Belt blew overhead, carrying the scent of scorched earth.

The Wasteland Mastiff lay beside Su Ming, its tail patting the ground, accompanying him motionlessly.

One minute later.

The system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Devoured Tier 3 frenzied Iron-Bone Hyena remains, stripped high-density bone armor and frenzied source blood!]

[mass points + 650!]

Nice, this wave was not a loss!

...
