26: Chapter 26 The Bureau of Biological Materials and the Professional Monster Slayer
Chapter 026: Biological Materials Bureau and Professional Monster Hunters. After all, it's making a living with one's life.
In this world.
Underground Creatures originate from underground, and with the rapid expansion of the entire planet, they have successively arrived at the surface.
Their numbers are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times that of humans.
Their bodies are practically filled with treasures everywhere.
Energy industry, military industry, manufacturing industry, processing industry, clothing industry, agriculture, catering industry...
All walks of life are purchasing underground monsters, and demand exceeds supply.
However, some purchase fur, some purchase bones, some purchase blood, and some purchase eyeballs...
This has also given birth to a specialized biological Materials acquisition department—the Biological Materials Bureau.
They took over the database of the autopsy department, classifying, numbering, and naming different Underground Creatures...
Eventually developing a biological price list for the entire industry.
Such as retail price, wholesale selling price, prices for different body parts...
There are also various parameters affecting price, such as freshness, completeness, and degree of contamination.
There are also specialized appraisers used to appraise the prices of some rare monsters.
The East Asia Theater has twenty to thirty bases.
Each base has a specialized receiving agency.
After receiving the goods, they are uniformly packaged and transported to major factories for processing and handling.
This is all business within an industrial chain.
Many professional monster hunters made their fortunes relying on this department.
Zhangjiang Base has a total of six biological department acquisition points, corresponding to the import and export of six bases.
This guarantees that the trophies of professional monster hunters can be sold directly as soon as they enter the base.
At this moment, Ye Hai headed straight for the nearest acquisition point.
As soon as he arrived at the acquisition point.
The pungent stench hitting him face-to-face made Ye Hai's head ache a little.
"Make way, make way! This is the blood and brains of a Tier 2 Crimson Beast! Brothers, don't block my way to making money!"
"Holy crap, more than twenty Fire-scaled Oxen? Did they wipe out an entire nest? This score is huge!"
"Brother, come have a smoke. May I ask where you guys hit this Elite Thunder Spirit Monster? Can you reveal the active area?"
"Damn it! Originally, this quality was extremely good, but a rookie team member of ours fired an optical energy cannon and scorched the heart! Really fucking annoying!"
"Are there any leader-class toughness-type scales left for sale? If not, we're hauling them away, roar—those who missed out wait for the next wave!"
"Brother Wang, your price is too low! It barely covers the cost of ammunition... Give me a higher price! I'm an old customer!"
In the dense, noisy, and crowded crowd.
Various shouts were extremely noisy, and the flow of people shuttling back and forth was endless.
Porters, bargainers, people in line, analytical appraisers, on-site buyers...
All kinds of figures could be found here.
This was a place combining several major elements: a slaughterhouse, a vegetable market, an armory, a garbage dump, and a parking lot.
In the venue, which resembled a vegetable market.
Various off-road vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles were parked, loaded with military hardware that had just experienced battle in the pseudo-wilderness.
Professional monster hunters took out their trophies from their spatial rings.
According to different classifications, they handed them over to people at different windows for sale.
With over twenty windows, basically every place had people conducting transactions.
Professional staff immediately dragged the acquired biological Materials into freezers to be packaged and processed.
Some people were also eagerly surrounding rare Underground Creature carcasses, watching the appraiser's price analysis.
On the large LED screen in the middle.
It also displayed the daily price rise and fall trends of biological Materials.
There were also special acquisition bounties offered by some factories, which stopped many professional monster hunters in their tracks.
Ye Hai, wearing a bracelet, also stood in front of the big screen at this moment, looking at the colorful data on it——
[Moon Tribe Beast: 3500 yuan each, haunting the Wild Deer Forest area, acquisition conditions: heart and bones must remain absolutely complete]
[Fire Dragon Blood: 580 yuan per kilogram, haunting within twenty kilometers near Yanshan District, acquisition conditions: pollution-free, kept fresh and at temperature]
[Magic Bone Monster Bones: 300 yuan per kilogram, haunting the Longshan area, acquisition conditions: Tier 2 and above, bones generally complete]
[Leaf-shaped Insect: 20 yuan each, haunting the southeast corner of Area Four, acquisition conditions: insect sac unbroken]
[Double-headed Wolf-beast: 3000 yuan each, haunting near Supply Station No. 9, acquisition conditions: cause of death is slash wound]
[Qianyue Grass: 500 yuan per kilogram, haunting the northwest direction of Area No. 3, acquisition conditions: no discoloration or dryness, can continue to be planted]
The various acquisition bounties dazzled Ye Hai.
The whole acquisition price of a general Tier 1 monster is usually around 100 yuan to 500 yuan.
The price of parts is even only a few yuan to tens of yuan per kilogram.
However, the prices of these bounty Underground Creatures were extremely high.
Even reaching the point of several thousand to tens of thousands per single one.
Of course.
There was a reason for the high prices.
Either because it was a Tier 2 Underground Monster, and its strength was equivalent to a human Tier 2 Evolver.
Or because the monster was rare and difficult to find.
Or the capture conditions were troublesome and storage conditions harsh.
The capture of some monsters...
Even required professional cages, blood storage boxes, and other props to be valuable upon acquisition.
If one merely killed the monster without preserving those Materials... their selling price would not be very high either.
That is to say, if one wanted to undertake some high-reward bounty missions.
One must specially purchase professional storage equipment.
Just as Ye Hai was looking at the bounty list, a commotion suddenly broke out at the acquisition point.
Accompanied by a gasp of amazement.
A six-person monster-hunting squad eagerly looked at an Underground Creature carcass and hurried over with fast footfalls.
"Teacher Yin! Quick! Quickly appraise this!"
"There is something in its stomach! What kind of Underground Creature is this? This thing can actually control minds!"
"To kill this thing, two of my team members broke their arms!"
"Appraise this thing and see how much it can sell for!"
They cautiously put down a withered Underground Creature corpse.
Eerily.
After this thing landed, it didn't touch the ground at all, but instead floated directly 30 centimeters above the ground.
Teacher Yin's name was Yin Shan.
He is the chief appraiser of the acquisition point, a sensory-type Evolver.
At this moment, he immediately came to the carcass, his eyes glowing as he observed the Underground Creature corpse in front of him.
A large circle of people surrounded them, curiously looking at the mysterious corpse in front of them.
Ye Hai also mingled in the crowd and watched in surprise.
After watching for a dozen seconds, Teacher Yin's expression suddenly changed, and then he became excited:
"This is... This is a Mind Energy Monster!?"
"An extraordinary Underground Creature capable of manipulating mind energy!"
"You said it can control minds? Right! That's this creature's ability!"
"There is a mind crystal bead in its brain, which can release special energy to interfere with brainwaves and nerve signals..."
"This thing has always been acquired at a high price by military factories and energy plants! The price is at least over five hundred thousand!"
As soon as these words came out.
The audience was instantly in an uproar.
Many people around showed envious expressions, almost drooling.
Five hundred thousand!
That's a general professional monster hunter's income for a year!
This score is huge!
"Really! Hahahahaha... Great! So awesome!"
"Quick! Make a call!"
"Don't let the brother with the broken arm get the molecular-powered mechanical arm yet, let him change to a neutrino-powered mechanical arm!"
"No... grit your teeth and get a crimson structure one!"
The six team members were extremely excited.
After finishing this single job, everyone could split several months' income!
"I'm talking about the price for complete preservation."
Just at this moment, the words of chief appraiser Yin Shan poured cold water on them like a basin:
"Too bad you guys don't know how to preserve it... Its mind energy is almost withered away."
"From my perspective, this thing has faded into a translucent state..."
"I can only guarantee a price of over sixty thousand on my end."
"If you sell it to us, you can only get sixty thousand, sixty-five thousand at most..."
"If you are not satisfied with this price, you can go directly to the energy plant and military factory... and see how much they can offer."
"The Materials Bureau can help you keep it in custody for five hundred yuan an hour."
His words.
Made everyone, who was just happy, suddenly stamp their feet with anger.
Damn it, too early to celebrate!
Five hundred thousand turned into sixty thousand...
"Call the two brothers, let's switch back to the molecular-powered mechanical arm after all."
"At most select a wind-resistant coating, and have the master paint it prettier..."
