46: go home

With Gao Feng's silver tongue, he would have only been able to sell the Materials for around 800 million.

However, relying on his years of experience from his past life negotiating business with clients, Qiao Yu used his eloquence to gradually drive the price up to 1 billion.

For this, the supervisor, known as Manager Fang, had to consult with the leaders of the HR Alliance several times. Of course, Qiao Yu knew he was just going outside to smoke a few extra cigarettes—it was just a negotiation tactic in the business world; merchants never lose out.

At this moment, the members of the Fire Hammer Squad were eating dinner in a private room at the third-floor restaurant of the HR Alliance mall.

"Qiao Yu, I really didn't expect you to be so good at negotiating prices. Even if you didn't become a Martial Artist, you could at least land a position as a supervisor working at the HR Alliance."

Gao Feng clicked his tongue in amazement, picked up the wine bottle on the table, and downed it straight to his stomach.

Luo Feng was also amazed by Qiao Yu's negotiation skills. In his impression, Qiao Yu was completely a silent type. Even though his strength had started to improve and he had become more cheerful, he was still mostly taciturn in daily life.

"I just don't like to talk much, but I like to observe. At the time, I observed that although Manager Fang acted conflicted in his speech, his muscles were relaxed in his gestures, and he wasn't nervous at all. This indicated that there was actually room for negotiation in the price."

Qiao Yu toasted with everyone at the table and then explained.

"You two are truly the lucky charms of my Fire Hammer Squad! Setting aside the 800 million that Luo Feng took, everyone else can still get a share of 33.33 million, which is equivalent to several trips we've made to the Wilderness Area."

Gao Feng laughed heartily, and in the midst of his words, another bottle of wine went down his throat.

For Martial Artists, alcohol is no longer difficult to metabolize. Even 99% medical-grade alcohol can be completely metabolized in a day, so everyone drank alcohol as freely as if it were a beverage; if they drank a little too slowly, it would already be metabolized away.

"Drink!"

"Brothers, let's toast!"

"Cheers~"

The atmosphere in the private room was harmonious, filled with laughter.

Amidst the laughter, the other members of the Fire Hammer Squad also realized their own shortcomings.

The newly joined Qiao Yu and Luo Feng both had top-tier Aptitude. Qiao Yu had revealed Micro-level movement techniques during the battle, and Luo Feng was even a Psycher Master.

These old members of the Fire Hammer Squad were afraid of holding back Captain Gao Feng, Qiao Yu, and Luo Feng.

Gao Feng informed everyone that he had a connection to purchase A-grade gene reagents for 200 million, allowing the squad's overall strength to level up.

"In the future, our entire squad will be Warlord Level. We will be a true Warlord Level squad!"

"With everyone coordinating with each other, the efficiency of killing enemies in the future will be ten times higher than before, or even more. Won't the money just roll in? Besides, Zhang Ke, you will be able to earn back that 1 billion you owe Qiao Yu much faster!"

Gao Feng smiled slightly, imagining the scene of the Fire Hammer Squad being invincible and crazily accumulating wealth in the Wilderness Area in the future.

Cups were pushed and exchanged, and soon it was time to part ways.

Qiao Yu, Luo Feng, Chen Gu, and Zhang Ke all lived in the Mingyue Residential Area, and the four of them took the train home together.

Late at night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Yangzhou City, Mingyue Residential Area, at the entrance of the Limit Clubhouse.

When the four of them got off the train, they discovered that their respective families were already waiting at the entrance, along with other familiar Martial Artist friends and the clubhouse manager, Uncle Wu, all waiting.

"Brother! Brother Yu!" Luo Hua shouted first, waving at them. If his legs were intact, he would probably have been able to jump up.

Luo Feng hugged his family members, and Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan also took the initiative to hug Qiao Yu, which made Qiao Yu feel a bit unaccustomed.

Chen Gu and Zhang Ke also stood by their families. Zhang Ke's wife and daughter were tearful, but seeing that Zhang Ke was unharmed, they kept touching his right arm with their hands.

"Wife, we must really thank Brother Qiao Yu this time. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have been a cripple for the rest of my life..."

Seeing his wife and daughter crying, Zhang Ke was moved, tears swirling in his eyes as he pointed at Qiao Yu and said.

Zhang Ke's wife pulled her daughter and bowed deeply to Qiao Yu, catching Qiao Yu off guard. He hurriedly pulled the two of them up.

"Sister-in-law, you are too kind. Brother Zhang is my teammate, and it is only right to help each other. If I were the one injured, I'm sure Brother Zhang would help me if he had the ability."

Seeing the two stand up, Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled faintly.

"It is good that the three heroes of our clubhouse have returned safely. It is getting late, so everyone should go home and get some rest. It's not too late to talk about anything tomorrow."

Manager Uncle Wu smiled. Everyone nodded and returned to their respective homes.

Qiao Yu followed the Luo Family Members into the villa.

"Brother Yu, didn't you say you would give me a surprise after you came back? What kind of surprise is it?"

Luo Hua beamed with joy, looking at Qiao Yu with anticipation. Luo Hua's parents, Luo Feng, and others all looked at the two of them talking with affection.

"Luo Hua, I heard you say before that your little girlfriend has already officially established a relationship with you?"

Qiao Yu didn't respond immediately but asked softly. Luo Hua nodded, his smile a bit shy.

"A girl who doesn't discriminate against a cripple, she is quite kind."

"But she might agree, what about her parents? If her parents use your pain to attack you, humiliate you, and force you two apart, can you withstand these obstacles?"

Qiao Yu pierced directly into the thing Luo Hua was least willing to face deep in his heart. In an instant, Luo Hua's face turned pale.

Although he tried his best not to think about these things, Zhen Nan had already revealed some rumors to him.

Zhen Nan's family was well-off, and she was the apple of her parents' eye; they would certainly not allow their daughter to date or even marry a disabled person.

To put it bluntly, she would have to do all the work during exercise; there really is no dignity in that.

Seeing Qiao Yu speak so bluntly, Luo Hongguo and his wife felt a pang of anxiety and secretly tugged at Qiao Yu's arm.

Luo Feng was uncharacteristically calm and did not get Life Qi because of Qiao Yu's words; he knew what Qiao Yu was about to do.

"Brother Yu... why do you have to say such hurtful things? Is this the surprise you were talking about?"

Luo Hua's tone was filled with sadness, and tears couldn't stop falling.

"Qiao Yu..." Luo Hongguo and his wife frowned, wanting to say something.

But they saw Qiao Yu take out a blood-red reagent from his backpack and place it in front of Luo Hua.

"Therefore—I have prepared a reagent for you that can allow your severed limbs to regrow."

Luo Hua's mood was like riding a roller coaster; having just fallen into Hell, he was immediately pulled into Heaven.

"Wha...what, Brother Yu, are, are you telling the truth?"

Luo Hua's hands couldn't stop trembling as he took the blood-red reagent from Qiao Yu's hand. The light of hope radiated from his previously moist eyes.
