Chapter 85: Cutting

[Successfully survived for one day, starting to calculate today's monster points]

[Low-level anomaly Grafted Mother Vine +10 monster points]

[Today's total calculated monster points: 45]

"115 monster points————"

After cataloging the Grafted Mother Vine, the daily settlement of monster points had reached 45 points a day, significantly increasing his accumulation speed. Exchanging for some ordinary items would only take two or three days.

Taiwan Novel Network relieves book shortages, super convenient.

If converted into exchangeable items like the Grafted Demon Vine Tree or Vine Mother, it would take about 20 days.

Wang Ting glanced at his monster points and chose not to use them. Some simple creations and traits were not urgent needs at the moment; he would hold off and exchange for stronger traits later.

The transportation of monster corpses from the Industrial Zone lasted for almost a full day. Once all the corpses were transported into the residential area stronghold, Feng Bo immediately mobilized manpower to inspect them one by one, dismantle the materials, extract useful items, and throw the rest to the Blood Vine Corpse Tree.

Over a thousand monster corpses were enough for the Blood Vine Corpse Tree to bear several blood vine fruits.

After the monster corpses were processed, not a single member of the Guard Team from the machinery group returned to the Outpost Camp. Instead, they all plunged headfirst into the Machinery Factory. Getting the Machinery Factory running again was not something that could be done in a day or two.

Dong Hu understood their difficulties and left a squad stationed at the Machinery Factory to clear out any approaching monsters while reinforcing the walls, preparing to establish a third stronghold there.

Ever since Ren Chuan accepted the military pledge from Wang Ting, it was determined that the Machinery Factory would likely have to run continuously around the clock to meet production demands.

As the monster corpses were gradually processed, Wang Ting's side finally received the final rewards from this battle.

Wang Ting and the two Guard Team squads killed a total of 1,372 Parasitic Fungus Vines, among which Wang Ting alone killed 4 Vine Skulls, 2 Vine Spider Nurses, 4 Thorn Vine Beasts, and 1 Grafted Mother Vine.

A total of 227 extraordinary materials and 4 Extraordinary Cores were obtained from the aforementioned monsters. Combined with the extraordinary materials Wang Ting previously acquired from hunting monsters and wiping out the Three Wolves Gang, the entire camp had a total of 790 extraordinary materials and 6 Extraordinary Cores.

If all these items were converted into bullets, it would be enough to exchange for over 200,000 rounds, enough to support many major battles.

If converted into equivalent-value food, it would be equivalent to more than 600,000 energy blocks and over 200,000 catties of grain.

Calculated at the standard of one energy block per day, it would be enough for two thousand people to live for a year.

Naturally, Wang Ting would not trade all these things for food. Whether it was extraordinary materials or Extraordinary Cores, they were far more precious than food and bullets, and could be exchanged for much more.

"It's time to move."

Wang Ting called Ren Chuan over. The moment Ren Chuan entered the room, his gaze was drawn to several large black boxes on the table.

A look of surprise appeared on his face; he had packed the items himself and knew what was inside.

Wang Ting pulled out two large boxes and handed them to Ren Chuan.

"250 extraordinary materials, 1 Extraordinary Core. Hand these things over to Boss Zhao and Boss Fan."

"This, this is too much."

Ren Chuan's expression changed slightly, and he instinctively retorted.

Excluding the extra gains from the Three Wolves Gang, although the more than 500 extraordinary materials were obtained in Vine Town, almost all of them were fought for and won by Wang Ting alone.

Granted, others in the camp also contributed, but not a single person felt that without them, Wang Ting wouldn't have been able to get these extraordinary materials.

In fact, most members of the Guard Team already harbored dissatisfaction in their hearts. They felt that so easily giving away half to Scarecrow Town didn't seem quite fair.

Wang Ting didn't think he was a particularly trustworthy person, but he felt that since their success originated from Scarecrow Town, even if things needed to be cleared up, they couldn't use hardline methods.

He shook his head slightly: "After this time, supplies with Scarecrow Town will be conducted in the form of trade, and the previous profit-sharing will be written off. Boss Zhao and Boss Fan will understand."

Feng Bo's expression flickered slightly; that was acceptable.

He understood Wang Ting's meaning and didn't feel anything was inappropriate, nor did he think Wang Ting was ungrateful.

He knew better than anyone how these extraordinary materials had come about.

Zhao Kun and Wang Ting had an agreement, but that was established on the premise that Vine Town would be developed slowly and require massive resources from Scarecrow Town.

However, aside from obtaining manpower and firearm support from Scarecrow Town in the early stages, the subsequent support and supplies Wang Ting received were far less than planned.

In just about a month, he alone was able to suppress the entire Vine Town level.

Perhaps suppressing it alone would have taken longer and left the camp's infrastructure in worse shape, but other than that, there were no major issues. And these could actually be bridged and leveled out over time.

After they wiped out the Three Wolves Gang, a large influx of resources joined them. At this point, even without the assistance of Scarecrow Town, they could smoothly and rapidly get through the transition period.

In other words, the agreement had lost its balance first.

Wang Ting paused slightly and suddenly said: "Take a blood vine fruit and give it to Brother Hu. Tell him to wait a bit longer, and we'll send him the second one after some time."

Hearing this, Ren Chuan smiled: "It looks like Captain Zhao is going to break through the secondary limit this time."

Following Wang Ting's instructions, Ren Chuan drove to Scarecrow Town carrying a large amount of extraordinary materials, Extraordinary Cores, and harvested supplies.

He set out together with Dong Hu, driving two trucks straight toward the town. Being quite familiar with the road, the two greeted people upon entering the town and headed straight to find Zhao Kun and Fan Da, delivering the extraordinary materials right before their eyes.

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat silent. Neither Zhao Kun nor Fan Da expected that in just about a month, Wang Ting would send another batch of extraordinary materials.

This time, the quantity of extraordinary materials was far greater than any previous time, so much so that they felt pressured.

Fan Da looked at Dong Hu and Ren Chuan and asked in a deep voice: "Just how many monsters did you guys kill?"

"The boss single-handedly suppressed nearly one to two thousand Parasitic Fungus Vines. Although we helped out, to be honest, we simply couldn't keep up with the boss's killing speed. All these extraordinary materials were fought for by him, including the Extraordinary Cores."

Hearing Dong Hu's reply, both Zhao Kun and Fan Da fell silent.

Several thousand Parasitic Fungus Vines, even if they were just low-level anomalies, were not something that could be dealt with casually. Even if they were suppressed in batches, it was enough to demonstrate Wang Ting's terrifying strength.

They were both warriors who had broken their limits twice; how could they not know that an ordinary secondary limit-breaker could never achieve this degree of success?

Zhao Kun took a deep breath: "I understand. The agreement between Scarecrow Town and the Outpost Camp will be changed to a material transaction, with goods priced at market rates. From now on, our two camps will look out for each other."

"Thank you for your understanding, Boss Zhao."

Zhao Kun shook his head slightly, his mood unreadable, and merely sighed with emotion: "It's not that I understand; it's that your boss earned it purely through his own strength. I just never expected that Scarecrow Town had actually harbored a true dragon."

After a slight pause, he finally couldn't help asking: "Where did your boss get the extraordinary potion?"

Ren Chuan and Dong Hu exchanged glances and shook their heads: "We don't know."

Zhao Kun was stunned, then burst into a helpless laugh and waved his hand: "Fine then, you guys go down and rest first. Trade what needs to be traded. Those former brothers whose contribution values haven't been cleared can still continue to exchange for things—just let them know. You guys are much more familiar with them than I and the people below are."

Ren Chuan suddenly spoke up: "Boss Zhao, our boss wants a simple map of the surrounding towns, and by the way, to borrow a token for trade."

Zhao Kun looked at him with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "You guys want to trade things with them?"

"Yes, especially Chechang Town and Bullet Town."

Zhao Kun didn't hesitate and nodded: "Sure, go find the people at the Material Department."

Tokens were actually not complicated. Some tokens might simply be certain items released by that town, stipulating that whoever held the item could come and trade, while others were even simpler—they only recognized the person.

The Outpost Camp had just been established, and other towns did not know its background. Proposing trade rashly could easily be mistaken for bandits or a conspiracy, adding unnecessary trouble.

If Scarecrow Town took the lead in the middle, things would be much simpler.

Ren Chuan and Dong Hu exited the room. Inside the quiet room, a sigh was heard after all.

"The general trend is gone; that Vine Town is no longer ours now."

Fan Da had a complex expression. His pushing force was indispensable to Wang Ting's rise to power.

Zhao Kun shook his head: "The extraordinary materials turned in from the two batches of spoils are close to four hundred copies. Look at this Extraordinary Core; the extraordinary factors it contains are far stronger than ordinary Extraordinary Cores. I dare say this was condensed from an extremely powerful elite individual. This Vine Town level is even more terrifying than we imagined. If anyone else had gone, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have been able to build a stronghold by now. There is gain in giving; at least we still maintain friendly relations with him, and he is not an ungrateful wolf."

Wang Ting's strength already far exceeded theirs. If he were a person of wolfish ambition, let alone giving extraordinary materials, whether Scarecrow Town would still exist right now was debatable.

Fan Da nodded and sighed with emotion: "Yeah, at least Zhao Hu didn't misjudge his person. With such a powerful existence around, our Shelter is much safer, and at least our legacy will be passed down."

Zhao Kun showed a burning look in his eyes as he looked at the large boxes filled with extraordinary materials in front of him: "We will also become even stronger. The extraordinary materials we have in hand now are enough for us to secure two extraordinary potions. If we can't buy them on the black market, we'll go to Jumu City. Even with a markup, we have enough capital."
