152: Chapter 152 Target, Frost Serpent

Wang Shan pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers on the table.

After a long while, he looked up and gave a Professional answer:

"Theoretically, it is possible."

"First is the ten-thousand-year dark ice marrow. This item is usually produced in the depths of glaciers in the Far North, but if we use an extraction method... we need to find a Tier 3 or Tier 4 ice-attribute fierce beast. Within half an hour of its death, we must extract the marrow containing the extreme cold power from its spine for refinement and conversion."

"Second is the thunder origin core. We need to hunt a fierce beast of the same level and then quickly extract its heart for refinement."

Speaking of this, Wang Shan paused, showing a slightly troubled expression, and shook his head while pointing at the third material:

"As for the final void spirit stone... I am sorry, Captain Chen. This item involves the condensation of space rules. With my current extraction level and methods, I cannot extract it from a fierce beast. I am afraid this thing can only be found in some special space rifts, or bought ready-made for a high price."

After listening, Chen Xi had a rough idea in his mind.

Being able to solve two of them was already a pleasant surprise!

"That is enough!"

Chen Xi nodded:

"What about the success rate?"

Wang Shan smiled bitterly:

"This is the biggest problem. Extracting materials from fierce beasts is already extremely difficult, requiring the conversion of flesh and blood into pure energy crystals. Ordinary materials are fine, but these are all SS-grade quality..."

"Even if I go all out, combined with the best auxiliary potions, the success rate is probably only around 5%. In other words, we might need to hunt dozens of high-tier fierce beasts to successfully extract one piece of material."

"No problem, we have plenty to go around."

Chen Xi smiled confidently.

After discussing technical issues, the next topic was the most vulgar but also the most realistic: payment.

In this profit-first Adventurer Camp, hiring a Professional with this skill would definitely be expensive.

Chen Xi was about to ask about the price.

Wang Shan seemed to see through his thoughts, waved his hands hurriedly, and said with a serious and solemn expression:

"Captain Chen, talking about money hurts our relationship."

"In the Black Swamp Forest, if you and your team hadn't stepped in, my teammates and I would have been gone. You saved my life, so what is this small favor?"

"I promise you—"

Wang Shan patted his chest to guarantee:

"As long as the Nirvana Battle Team needs extraction services, no matter when, no matter how complex, I, Wang Shan, will provide them for free for life!"

Hearing these words, Chen Xi was slightly moved.

This camaraderie was particularly precious.

"Good."

Chen Xi did not act coy and patted Wang Shan's shoulder heavily:

"Then I won't be polite. Nirvana will remember this favor."

After leaving the camp of Lei Gang and the others, Chen Xi did not rest immediately but began to deploy his next plan with efficiency.

"We also need a place to stay."

Chen Xi glanced at the balance on his bracelet.

Although they had spent 100 points on materials for Ye Fei earlier, they still had 30 military merit points on hand.

"Let's go, let's rent a place."

Chen Xi took the three women to the camp management office and, with a wave of his hand, directly deducted 30 military merit points.

Soon, a slightly rusty key was handed to him.

It was an independent camp located right next to Lei Gang and the others.

Although simple, it was well-located and adjacent to acquaintances, making it convenient to look out for each other.

After settling their luggage, Chen Xi gathered everyone to hold a short tactical meeting in the narrow tin house.

"Since our goal is clear, let's not waste time."

Chen Xi drew two circles on a simple map:

"According to Wang Shan, we need ice-attribute and thunder-attribute fierce beasts."

"My plan is—kill two birds with one stone."

"We will take on missions to hunt ice-attribute or thunder-attribute fierce beasts. This way, on one hand, we can obtain the raw materials needed for extraction, and on the other hand..."

A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Xi's eyes:

"We can also accumulate military merit points along the way."

"Once we save up 500 points, we will go directly to the Military Department Mall and buy that void spirit stone! That way, Xiao Xiao's advancement materials will be complete!"

"Agreed!"

Fighting spirit ignited in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes; for the sake of greater power, she could not wait.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! Let's make a fortune!"

Li Murou was also full of motivation.

In the central square of the Adventurer Camp, the area under the mission bulletin board was still crowded.

Chen Xi, leading his three beautiful teammates, walked straight to the front of the board amidst countless gazes of awe and envy.

After the battle yesterday, the name "Nirvana" had already spread throughout the camp.

The ruthless captain who tore apart a Lv.70 training dummy with his bare hands and forced the Holy Court Society to bow and apologize had become an idol in the hearts of many.

"Excuse me, let us through."

Chen Xi squeezed to the front row with a calm expression, his eyes quickly scanning the scrolling screen.

"Ice-attribute... Tier 3..."

Soon, a newly refreshed mission caught his attention.

"C-Rank Mission: Frost Disaster"

"Target: Hunt 20 'Tier 3 Frost Giant Pythons' entrenched near the Cold Pool."

"Reward: 100 military merit points."

"Recommended Level: Team Lv.55 or above."

"Frost Giant Python? Tier 3?"

Chen Xi's eyes lit up.

This mission was tailor-made for them!

Ice attribute, Tier 3 strength, meeting Wang Shan's extraction requirements.

And there were 20 of them; even if the extraction success rate was only 5%, 20 corpses should be enough to pile up one portion of ten-thousand-year dark ice marrow, right?

More importantly...

When Chen Xi brought his bracelet close to the mission bar to accept it,

"Beep—Detected 3-Star Mercenary status."

Following a pleasant prompt, a line of golden text suddenly appeared below the ordinary mission interface—

"3-Star Mercenary exclusive privilege triggered!"

"Additional Bounty: If you can bring back 20 complete 'Frost Giant Python Skins' and submit them to the Holy Court Society market, you can receive an additional—"

"100 military merit points subsidy!"

Seeing this number, Chen Xi was overjoyed.

"100 base reward + 100 additional subsidy = 200?!"

This wasn't just doing a mission; this was practically robbery!

You have to know that an ordinary team fighting tooth and nail to complete a C-Rank Mission would only get 100 points.

And they could not only get double the pay, but also freeload a bunch of extraction materials!

"This is a benefit sent to us by that sucker David."

Li Murou looked at the text and laughed until she was trembling:

"If David knew we were farming this so easily, he would probably be so angry he'd go get another hair transplant, right?"

"Who cares about him? Only a fool wouldn't take advantage of this."

Chen Xi decisively pressed the "Accept" button.

"Mission locked! Countdown started!"

He turned around, looked at his teammates behind him who were already ready to go, waved his hand, and said with great spirit:

"Target: Cold Pool! Hunt the Frost Giant Python!"

"Let's go!!"
