208: My knees are weak

"Boss Xiao, all the items you requested have been purchased."

Onboard the Ocean Spectrum.

Hawk and Wang Qiang arrived, each carrying a sack. Initially, they stealthily observed their surroundings, only slightly relaxing after spotting Xiao Yun.

Previously, Xiao Yun had specifically asked them to purchase supplies to continue upgrading his military dagger.

They had actually completed the purchase earlier, but at the time, Xiao Yun was still running the Baksh in Longjiang City and didn't have a chance to return for the goods.

"Boss Xiao, please take a look."

Saying that,

Hawk and Wang Qiang handed their respective bags to Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun opened them and saw exactly the supplies he needed.

"Supplies: Grandfather Clock"

"Quality: Gold"

"Price: 199972"

"Description: It is said that after finding this item in the Restricted Area, the extraction rate for this match will drop to less than half."

"Supplies: Military Satellite Communicator"

"Quality: Gold"

"Price: 198062"

"Description: Once the king of kings among four-grid gold items, now semi-fallen."

Xiao Yun glanced at the supplies in the sacks, and system panels popped up one after another, indicating that these supplies were all legitimate and not fakes.

However, as he accepted the supplies, he noticed Wang Qiang and Hawk looking at him with strange, ambiguous smiles.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Yun asked, puzzled.

"Boss Xiao, when will you take us two on another run?"

"Yeah, yeah, last time you took Wang Qiang and them, they made a killing. I haven't had that chance yet."

Wang Qiang and Hawk said with a smile, humbly requesting.

Although both of them were old enough to be Xiao Yun's uncles, there was nothing they could do; in today's society, whoever could make money was the boss.

Last time, Wang Qiang's trio, just by picking up scraps behind Xiao Yun, each earned over 100,000, almost 200,000. Such high returns with no risk made Hawk incredibly envious.

Therefore, upon learning that Xiao Yun needed his help, Hawk quickly rushed to complete the task, hoping that Xiao Yun, in a good mood, would take him into the Restricted Area once.

A single match, at most twenty or thirty minutes, could bring Hawk hundreds of thousands in profit!

When such an opportunity presented itself, he naturally had to seize it.

However,

Hearing their request, Xiao Yun found himself in a difficult position.

Liu Shihhan had already left the ship and was waiting on shore for him to go to the Baksh Restricted Area in Longjiang City. He couldn't take Wang Qiang and Hawk with him.

Moreover, the most important thing was that Xiao Yun's efficiency in running the Restricted Area was now vastly different from before.

When he took Hawk and the others on runs before, even after clearing out the entire Dam No. 0's hidden supply room, opening all the safes, and collecting the gold dropped by so many Machine Bro, a single run only yielded a few million.

But in Baksh, where the difficulty was at least confidential, Xiao Yun could earn millions just by opening high-resource supply points and doing Doctor's missions!

If he was a bit luckier and the Machine Bro hid good items in their bird eggs, it would be five million starting, possibly even ten million.

Like the last top-secret Baksh run, extracting twenty million in one go, might be something Wang Qiang and Hawk couldn't even dream of.

Furthermore, Xiao Yun had now unlocked the invisibility skill.

The most ideal situation was for him to go into the Restricted Area alone, risk-free, loot all high-value supply points, and then extract directly.

Although he was with Liu Shihhan, she was obedient and had no complaints about being told to stay in one place.

However, with Hawk and Wang Qiang, Xiao Yun wasn't very confident in them.

If he told them to stay in a safe place, and these two couldn't resist sneaking out to search for items, then if they died, they'd probably blame him.

"How much money do you have left from what I gave you last time?"

"There's one million four hundred thousand left. I'll transfer it to your account later."

Wang Qiang quickly reported.

Hearing this, Xiao Yun nodded silently.

According to the prices of these two items, after buying them, there should only be about three to five hundred thousand left at most.

It was clear that Hawk had used a little trick to get such a low purchase price.

"How about this, just transfer one million to me, and you two split the remaining four hundred thousand."

Xiao Yun thought for a moment, then decided.

Instead of lowering his own earnings by taking them on runs, it was better to just give them the money directly.

This way, he could win people over, not waste his own time, and not delay himself from continuing to run the Baksh to make money.

"H-how much?"

"Four hundred thousand!?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yun's words, Wang Qiang and Hawk both looked surprised.

Four hundred thousand! Just given away!

Xiao Yun truly was a top expert who could extract from the Restricted Area every time; casually rewarding them hundreds of thousands was like sprinkling water.

Although the two speculated that Xiao Yun's funds might only be around tens of millions at this time, after all, although he earned a lot in the Restricted Area, he hadn't been entering the Restricted Area for long.

But the two knew Xiao Yun's methods: entering the map bare, extracting with millions. This kind of high-return business with no investment, perhaps only he could achieve it in the entire Haibei City!

The spending power of someone with such funds was terrifying!

Other bosses of physical industries, or capable rich second-generation individuals, mostly invested their money and wouldn't spend it meaninglessly.

However, Xiao Yun could casually take out four hundred thousand and give it to two people who were dispensable to him. This method was comparable to those top Dragon Nation conglomerate bosses with tens of billions in assets!

Thinking of this, Wang Qiang and Hawk were both stunned.

The two exchanged glances, and when Wang Qiang looked at Xiao Yun again, he felt his image grow taller!

He almost went weak in the knees and wanted to kneel before Xiao Yun!

"Captain Wang, no, no, no..."

Seeing this, Hawk quickly supported Wang Qiang.

"If you do this, aren't you embarrassing Boss Xiao!"

"I'm sorry, my fault, my fault!"

Wang Qiang quickly apologized.

And seeing this scene, Xiao Yun also smiled helplessly.

"Alright, you two can discuss how to divide the 400,000 yourselves."

Saying that, Xiao Yun waved his hand and walked alone towards the lounge area of the Exchange.

There were some changing rooms there. Xiao Yun opened one and slipped inside.

Although there were cameras overhead for security, Xiao Yun wouldn't attract attention if he didn't do anything illegal.

Thinking of this, he moved his mind and directly pulled out his family heirloom dagger.

"military dagger"

"Type: family heirloom"

"Level: 60"

"Damage: 90"

"Movement Speed Bonus: 60%"

"Attack Speed: Fast"

"Attack Range: Short"

"Special Skill: Armor Penetration"

"Upgrade Requires: Grandfather Clock x1"

Xiao Yun then didn't bother taking out each material one by one to upgrade. He directly threw the dagger into the sack containing the grandfather clock, and then heard a series of system prompts in his mind.

"Ding! Upgrade successful!"
