Forbidden Zone of the Human Race - Chapter 455: Business Dealings

In the end, Ye Lingling was convinced to go home. Xiang Ning watched as she left, then turned to look at the courtyard gates, deep in thought. Jerry Constructions?

Over the next few days, nothing much happened except that he had accidentally become famous—not because he’d solo challenged the entire Dancing Dragon Guild, but because every time he returned from the wilderness, he would bring back many beast parts. Most of them were tier five beasts, and the public was impressed by his ability at such a young age, as well as his efficiency.

On the sixth day that Xiang Ning returned from the wilderness alone, someone calculated that the beast parts from his first trip were worth thirty million. That was all thanks to his dimensional ring, because he could chop off various parts and keep them whole without breaking them into smaller parts. Also, the ring kept the carcasses fresh.

That had attracted much attention, and now a portion of the people didn’t even bother to publish their jobs and hired him directly instead. And everyone knew he loved accepting beast cores.

The deals were cheaper, too. For example, if you had a beast core worth twenty million, you would be able to get beast parts from him worth twenty million and above. Although it usually wasn’t a lot more than twenty million, it wouldn’t be lower than that at any rate. So all they had to do was flip the beast parts on the market for profits of tens of millions without breaking a sweat.

“Guess what Xiang Ning will bring back today.”

“I remember he got an order yesterday for a Goldeater Yak. A whole one, too. And remember that it’s a herd animal.”

“Hmm, a Goldeater Yak? That would be impressive, many people like the taste of its meat. And if you eat more, you’ll be able to marginally strengthen your body. But martial artists above tier five will see even more improvements.”

“I heard Goldeater Yaks have something precious in their stomachs.”

“Look, Xiang Ning’s back.”

The crowd looked over and saw Xiang Ning riding his Permafrost. Other than the people that were impatient for his goods, Ye Lingling was also there at the city gates waiting for him. Ever since she had left him, it took her an entire day to recall that Xiang Ning might have sent her money. And when she saw the figure, she was so shocked she screamed, and at that point both of her brothers gave her a teasing look, which made her so furious that she chased them down three whole streets.

Then… then this happened.

“Little Ling finally found someone who’ll give her a good future.”

“Yeah, she always used to get bullied, my heart hurt for her.”

“You? Shut up, you’re always first to watch the show, and you never helped her.”

“I’m too weak to help. Heh.”

After Xiang Ning completed his orders, he received five beast cores. Over the past few days, he had received thirty beast cores and his bioweapon had been eating very well. In the wilderness, the Devourer absorbed the blood and vitality of wild fearsome beasts, and in the city it fed on beast cores. Xiang Ning felt like it had become fat from the feasting, or more specifically, it had grown from less than hundred kilograms to about five hundred kilograms. At this point, he could no longer use it without reaching tier six.

Xiang Ning himself had also leveled up by one star, so he was now tier five, five-star.

Xiang Ning was satisfied with the numbers on his interface. However, it was far from enough. It was still going to be extremely difficult to hit his goal if he kept at this speed. Thus, he said, “Ye Lingling, you really don’t have to give me anything. You can see it, too, I earn money very quickly and I’ll enter the deep wilderness soon. I don’t know how long I’ll be there. So just do what you’ve been doing—spending time on your cultivation.”

Ye Lingling hung her head, listening to him. No one knew what she was thinking, but everyone could see that she liked Xiang Ning. At the same time, he had saved her during her most helpless moment like a knight in a fairytale; who wouldn’t fall in love like that?

So Xiang Ning quickly explained that he had a girlfriend and… everything stayed the same. Ye Lingling still waited for him at the city gates every day, causing those who knew about their situation to sigh. They thought about it and had to admit that, after witnessing Xiang Ning’s power, he was way out of her league. But life was still good. As long as Xiang Ning was in Kunlun City, no one would bully her, so everyone felt that it should be enough. She needn’t hope for too much.

As for why he had suddenly decided to venture into the wilderness, it was because there was an interesting development in the ruins’ investigation. They had confirmed the location of the ruins and discovered Split Gold.

Split Gold was a precious metal used in forging and strengthening bioweapons. And that was just a discovery in the outer rings of the ruins, the best part was at the center. Not anyone could enter that place. There were military, Federal Government, and business personnel there to visit and explore the treasure.

Xiang Ning’s intentions were simple—he would go take a quick look, and if he found anything good, he would post it back to his sister, Fang Rou, and the rest. He wanted to see if there was anything that could strengthen his capabilities.

Hunters Guild.

“Xiang Ning, have a seat.”

Xiang Ning was once again in Bo Yan’s office, though he didn’t really want to meet the older man.
