Chapter 95 - 93: Went All-In

The other three people had no objections to this.After all, without Hang Yu, they couldn’t have come this far.

If those who are capable can’t gain more, why would someone team up with you?

In human society, distribution has never been absolutely equal.

Even if you work at the same company, you can’t expect the company’s boss to take the same salary as you, right?

It’s right for Hang Yu to take an extra share of equipment. The current distribution ratio is reasonable and justified, and everyone agreed since this wasn’t their first time working together.

Even if he takes 30-40% of the total value of the items.

The other three people could still share about 60% of the value.

When converted, it roughly averages to about 20% per person.

The more than ten leftover white and gray equipment, along with various miscellaneous materials, may have lower quality in this harvest, but they were plentiful and sufficient.

Old Zhao gladly accepted all of it.

The value of equipment and items is relative.

For Hang Yu, their quality was very average, but at this stage, they’re top-grade for the majority of people. Old Zhao could use any one of them to win people’s hearts.

If Hang Yu got a good deal on quality,

Old Zhao and Xiaoqiang got a good deal on quantity. The two of them took almost half the quantity of the items.

Jiang Nan had a great harvest this time, not only getting a top-grade bright white necklace but also two white pieces of equipment that can be used by a Holy Professional, along with several other pieces of equipment with good attributes. The former can be kept for personal use, while the latter can be sold at the camp to exchange for crystal stones.

Of course.

She plans to take one or two pieces out.

Old Jiang spent a lot of money supporting this operation.

Now having the ability, it’s natural to give back to the family.

The result was satisfactory.

Basic loot distribution was completed.

Now it’s time for the crystal stones and skill stones.

This time in total, eighty-eight white crystal stones and one hundred fifty-two gray crystal stones were collected.

Hang Yu took forty white crystals and seventy gray crystals.

The remaining crystals were evenly distributed between Old Zhao, Xiaoqiang, and Jiang Nan.

Finally, there were two skill stones: "Fear Technique" and "Fierce Strike"!

Without a doubt, skill stones are not only highly valuable but also timeless — getting just one skill stone from an adventure is already a blessing.

Now, they got two.

It’s not just a blessing,

It’s like Hang Yu’s ancestors’ graves are on fire!

Hang Yu doesn’t have the altruism of Kong Rong.

This "Fierce Strike" is a particularly excellent close combat skill.

The Fierce Strike skill is part of a profession known as "Fighter," which includes three skill stone fragments: Fierce Strike, Continuous Attack, and Swift Strike.

Abbreviated as Fierce Strike, Continuous Strike, Swift Strike.

This is a high-output skill legacy!

Since Hang Yu came across such an excellent skill, he certainly wouldn’t let it slip, so he took the Fierce Strike skill stone.

Jiang Nan and Xiaoqiang had no objections.

Old Zhao was slightly regretful.

Because a strong close combat skill was something he also needed, but since Hang Yu spoke up, he naturally had to give face.

Now the remaining skill stone is the "Fear Technique"!

How should this skill stone be handled?

The "Fear Technique" does not have the abnormal group effect like Horror Howl; it’s a directional skill that can only target a single enemy, but the effect of fear as a negative BUFF is annoying!

It’s a good skill for combat and farming monsters!

The skill is good, but it’s unfortunately part of the Spiritual Occupation series.

All four could learn it, but the effect wouldn’t be as good.

After all, the effect of Spiritual Occupation skills is influenced by soul power and spiritual sense attribute.

Hang Yu and Old Zhao are Combat Professionals, Zhang Xiaoqiang is a Magic Professional, Jiang Nan is a Holy Professional; generally, they wouldn’t equip such items.

Wang Cong had a constipated look on his face for a long time.

When he saw the four discussing the Fear Technique skill stone,

he could no longer keep calm.

"Um... if this skill stone is useless to you, then why not keep it within the group." Young Master Cong’s eyes sparkled at the skill stone. He realized this was a huge opportunity for him. "We’ve fought side by side as partners, so why not name a price and sell it to me?"

Zhang Xiaoqiang and Jiang Nan were slightly taken aback.

They clearly didn’t expect Young Master Cong to suddenly pop in.

Zhao Ming frowned a little, while Hang Yu showed a thoughtful look.

"Buy it at market price. Currently, an average skill stone sells for around fifty million. This skill stone is decent; I think eighty million should do."

"Young Master Cong, you know that skill stones can’t be bought just with money," Zhao Ming spoke up. "Additionally, the Fear Technique is a strong control skill that greatly aids the team, so if it’s only eighty million, I’d be interested to take it personally."

Wang Cong’s expression froze.

Eighty million isn’t a small sum.

But wanting to buy this skill isn’t realistic!

On one hand, the skill stone is powerful. On the other hand, the four just divided the loot, now they’re each wealthy; would they even care for this extra twenty million? A single white crystal stone is worth several million!

Young Master Cong was extremely conflicted.

He really wanted that skill.

With his innate skill Hurricane Cage and adding the Fear Technique, he’d have powerful control, making survival, combat, and teaming up much easier.

If he could collaborate with Hang Yu again in the future,

he could at least confidently join as a formal team member, rather than like this time, where he got no share of loot and had to pay high costs for spiritual qi.

Honestly speaking,

eighty million for a support skill isn’t low.

Currently, the most expensive skill stones are attack-type.

But even attack-type skill stones max out at around a hundred million.

Young Master Cong thought for a long time and ultimately decided to go all in.

"How about this... I’ll get the Eagle Eye skill stone no matter what costs and sacrifices are involved, and you won’t have to pay a cent more, directly offsetting your share in this Fear Technique skill stone."

Young Master Cong’s gaze swept across Old Zhao, Xiaoqiang, and Jiang Nan, "For the three of you, I’ll additionally compensate two million each. How about that?"

Xiaoqiang was stunned.

Young Master Cong really was willing to pay the price!

This was using the Eagle Eye skill stone plus six million to exchange for the Fear Technique skill stone.

The Eagle Eye skill isn’t a combat or support skill, it’s a reconnaissance skill, but how could its acquisition value be less than fifty million?

The most important point is.

It’s currently with President Xu in Hua City!

President Xu invests in Spirit Realm assets mainly for investment purposes. Someone like him, who doesn’t lack money, finds holding cash uncomfortable and wishes to convert everything into assets, so he won’t casually transfer skill stones.

Therefore, obtaining the Eagle Eye skill from President Xu,

would require not just double the funds but also significant personal favors.

Young Master Cong can’t do it by himself.

He’d need Old Wang to help.

The value of such a personal favor is hard to measure with money.

If calculated this way, Young Master Cong’s cost would far exceed the worth of the Fear Technique skill stone, so Hang Yu had no reason to refuse.

However, it might be unfair!

He already took the Fierce Strike skill stone alone!

So, he’s already taken nearly half of the skill stone share.

Therefore, the Fear Technique skill should be shared between Old Zhao, Xiaoqiang, and Jiang Nan.

Now he’s aiming for the Fear Technique and even exchanging it for the Eagle Eye, which he needs, it seemed unreasonable no matter how you look at it.

Young Master Cong would subsidize the three people with money.

But that’s clearly not enough as they’re not short on cash.

Hang Yu doesn’t like to suffer losses, nor does he like to take advantage without reason.

The problem is, Hang Yu really needs the Eagle Eye, and if he negotiated directly with Boss Xu, who knows what terrifying price he’d have to pay, whereas Young Master Cong’s proposal was straightforward and stress-free, extremely tempting for Hang Yu.

"Come over here for a moment."

Hang Yu didn’t decide immediately.

He called Jiang Nan, Xiaoqiang, and Old Zhao to the side.

Young Master Cong saw the four of them whispering, unsure of what they were discussing, but in less than five minutes, Old Zhao and Jiang Nan beamed with joy and nodded vigorously.

"Deal, just as you suggested!" Hang Yu returned to Young Master Cong, "First, pay them as a deposit. I’ll hold onto the Fear Technique for now, and once you have the Eagle Eye, we’ll make the exchange."

Old Zhao and the other two were entirely satisfied.
