329: The whole audience was shocked. He exchanged a truck of garbage for 100,000 contribution points!
“One… two…”
The couple didn't care about the dirt; they rushed forward and began frantically counting.
These were all the beasts Wu Rongkang had hunted, one by one, risking his life, going out before dawn every day.
Because of his low strength, he could only target lone first-tier exotic beasts, and each time he would return covered in wounds.
He was reluctant to sell them because the price offered by the buyers was pitifully low, not even enough to buy a bottle of the cheapest healing medicine.
He was like a stubborn bear, hoarding all his winter food in his cave, even if it was rotting.
He never imagined that this habit, which others considered incredibly foolish, would become their family's only hope today!
“There are six hundred and twelve avian ones!”
“And… seven hundred and fifty-four porcine ones! That’s enough! All of it is enough!”
Li Yixiu was so excited she was incoherent, hugging Wu Rongkang’s arm, crying and laughing.
Wu Rongkang suppressed the wild joy in his heart.
He took a deep breath and calmly selected the most complete Medium Grade corpses from the pile.
The bounty required completeness; he dared not be careless in the slightest.
Then, he dragged out a rusty single-wheeled iron cart, a tool he usually used to transport heavy objects.
He moved the selected corpses onto the cart, one by one.
Soon, the small cart was piled high and full.
“I’m going!”
Wu Rongkang said to his wife and grandfather.
Then he bent down, used his broad shoulders to brace the handles of the cart, and pushed this mountain of flesh out of the territory.
There was a long road from the D-class settlement to the Holy Land’s central Mission Hall.
The road became smoother and smoother, and the surrounding buildings grew more exquisite.
Wu Rongkang and his foul-smelling cart seemed out of place in the bright and clean surroundings.
Lords on the road covered their noses, casting disgusted glances.
“Damn it, where did this beggar come from? What does he want to do with a cart full of dead bodies?”
“Get lost! You’re stinking up the place! You’re really affecting the Holy Land’s appearance!”
“Look at him, he must be a D-zone commoner. So uncultured, daring to transport any kind of trash into the central area!”
All sorts of mocking and disdainful voices constantly reached Wu Rongkang’s ears.
He clenched his teeth, lowered his head further, and avoided looking at their expressions.
He just focused on pushing his cart.
He had only one thought in his mind.
Grandpa’s medicine, the child’s formula!
Finally, the magnificent building of the Mission Hall appeared before his eyes.
The hall was packed with people, even more lively than he had imagined.
When he appeared with his ‘trash cart,’ the crowd automatically parted, as if avoiding a plague.
He ignored all the strange looks and walked towards the counter marked “Special Bounty Submission Point.”
Behind the counter was a young-looking official staff member.
When he saw Wu Rongkang and his cart, his brows immediately furrowed, and his face was filled with impatience and disgust.
He pinched his nose and snapped, “What do you want? We don’t accept trash here! If you need to dispose of waste, go to the incinerator outside the city!”
Wu Rongkang was a bit flustered by the shouting; his face turned red, and he panted heavily.
He pulled out his communicator from his pocket and handed it over.
“I… I’m here to… submit a bounty.”
The staff member glanced at it, and when he saw the bounty content Wu Rongkang was pointing to, he was first stunned, then let out a scoff.
“With this pile of rotten meat? You want to submit a bounty? Do you even know how to write the word ‘complete’?”
His voice was loud, immediately drawing laughter from the surrounding people.
Wu Rongkang’s face was grim; he wanted to retort but didn’t know what to say.
“What are you looking at? Get rid of it quickly, don’t obstruct others here!” The staff member impatiently waved his hand, as if shooing away flies.
Just then, a clear, cold female voice rang out.
“Wang Yu, what are you shouting about? Have you forgotten Commander Zhang’s instructions during the meeting?”
“Special Bounties are the highest priority tasks personally issued by the Holy Lord.”
“Any submitter, regardless of identity, must be treated equally and carefully inspected. That is the rule.”
Everyone turned around and saw a woman in an official uniform, with a capable demeanor, walking over.
The young staff member’s face changed when he saw the newcomer, and he immediately said respectfully, “Yes, Minister!”
Li Qian was a trusted confidant Zhang Chen had personally requested from the capital, specifically responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Contribution Point system, and held immense power.
She didn’t even look at Wang Yu, her gaze falling on Wu Rongkang, her tone softening slightly: “Bring your items for inspection. If they meet the requirements, we will process them immediately.”
The nearby inspectors quickly took out professional scanning equipment to scan the corpses on the cart.
More and more onlookers gathered, all ready to see Wu Rongkang become a laughingstock.
“Beep… Target meets First-Tier Exotic Beast standard… Starting completeness detection…”
“This one… 98% complete… Meets requirements.”
“This one also… 95%, meets requirements.”
“Wait… wait a minute! Minister, this whole cart… it seems… it seems they all meet the standard!” An inspector looked up in disbelief, his voice trembling.
The surrounding Lords watching the spectacle burst into laughter.
“How is that possible? A whole cart of trash all meets the requirements?”
“Bragging!”
Li Qian frowned: “Stop the nonsense, report the final data!”
The inspector swallowed, his hand holding the terminal trembling slightly, and reported loudly:
“Report, counting complete! Bounty Task One, First-Tier · Complete Avian Corpses, required 500, actual received 500, all meet requirements!”
“Bounty Task Two, First-Tier · Complete Porcine Corpses, required 500, actual received 500, all meet requirements! Both bounties… all… all met the standard!”
When the inspection results were announced, the entire area in front of the counter instantly fell silent.
The young staff member, who had been so arrogant before, now felt a wave of trepidation.
The smiles on the faces of the surrounding Lords, who had been ready to watch a show, also froze.
“Processing… Please… please present your Lord identity information.” The young staff member’s voice began to tremble.
Wu Rongkang complied.
The staff member, with trembling hands, confirmed the operation on the terminal.
The next second.
A loud notification sound echoed throughout the entire hall!
“Congratulations to Lord: Wu Rongkang, for successfully completing Special Bounty Tasks x2!”
“Reward: 100,000 Contribution Points!”
“Special Reward: Epic Spirit Fruit, crimson glazed fruit x2!”
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of gazes, with a whoosh, all focused on the burly man pushing the trash cart, reeking of sweat, and dressed in rags!
“Holy shit! Did I hear that right? One hundred thousand Contribution Points! And two crimson glazed fruits?!”
“Based on that pile of junk? What kind of international joke is this?!”
“Who is that Wu Rongkang? D-class Talent? A D-class Lord, how is that possible?!”
“Damn it! My crimson glazed fruit!” A Lord in a lavish magic robe suddenly let out a wail, grabbing the collar of his companion and shaking him frantically.
“I just had my subordinates take all the first-tier corpses from the Warehouse to the incinerator yesterday!”
“It was my personal order! I lost more than a hundred million, I lost a Divine Fruit!”
The entire Mission Hall instantly erupted into chaos.
Countless Lords beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting it so much their intestines turned green.
They never imagined that Mo Yan’s Special Bounty would hide such an easy-to-score task!
The Lord who had previously mocked Wu Rongkang as a beggar now turned pale, quietly shrinking back.
His companion nudged him: “Didn’t you just say he was affecting the city’s appearance?”
The Lord flinched, forced a smile uglier than a cry, and whispered, “What are you talking about?!”
“This Elder Brother… no, this Senior, is clearly a peerless expert who has returned to simplicity and is experiencing the Mortal World!”
“D-class Talent? That’s for tempering his Dao Heart!”
“Look at his habit of hoarding resources, his foresight! This clearly means he accurately predicted the Holy Lord’s bounty!”
“Such calculation is terrifying!”
Who cares about his D-class Talent.
At this moment, in everyone’s eyes, this burly man was labeled a powerhouse.
