"But how could Chu Tian let him have his way? Just as the high-speed hadn't ended yet, he moved swiftly. The Death God Scythe appeared in his hand once again, and all the spiritual energy gathered on the blade, where ice and fire intertwined.
Chu Tian turned into a residual image and swung the Scythe, breaking through Hou Wuyang's black mist defense.
At that moment, the cold ice extended upward along Hou Wuyang's feet.
Hou Wuyang widened his eyes, hastily trying to escape by manipulating the black mist, but Chu Tian wouldn't allow it. After all, his entire body's spiritual energy was about to be depleted due to the black mist's sound.
Without saying much, Chu Tian suddenly swung the black Death God Scythe. Before Hou Wuyang could deploy his black mist defense, the mist was already dispersed.
Hou Wuyang stared at Chu Tian in disbelief, reaching out to grab his own neck, where a black light appeared.
The black light dissipated, revealing a clear bloodstain.
Chu Tian retracted the scythe and looked up at the gradually dissipating black mist. He then smiled at Hou Wuyang and said, 'Thank you for your talent, allowing me to continue hiding my own. You can rest in peace now.'
After saying these words, the black mist completely dissipated, and Hou Wuyang stared at Chu Tian with unwillingness in his eyes. He slowly fell to the ground, and blood gushed out between his hands, impossible to contain, staining the ground red.
When all the mist had disappeared, the onlookers on the side of the road exclaimed.
'Impossible, it's only been six minutes, and this Chu Tian actually killed Hou Wuyang and Yang Huairen? My goodness, Hou Wuyang's talent is extraordinary.'
After all, a D-level talented warrior couldn't possibly kill a C-level talented warrior within a few minutes, no matter how effortless it seemed.
'Unbelievable, killing two talented warriors within minutes, Chu Tian is really formidable.'
'No wonder Chu Tian was rated as a potential advanced powerhouse by the mercenary base.'
The crowd discussed animatedly, and those who had initially doubted Chu Tian now remained silent.
Meanwhile, Nuo Ta and Hong Chang wore relieved smiles.
'What do you think? I, Nuo Ta, have a keen eye for people. I thought Chu Tian was an extraordinary person the first time I saw him. Now it seems my judgment was correct.' Nuo Ta was quite proud of his ability to assess people.
Hong Chang smiled faintly and patted Nuo Ta on the shoulder. 'Alright, I know your eye for people is sharp.'
Chu Tian grinned and said to Hong Chang and Nuo Ta, 'Alright, let's quickly deal with the materials we have on hand and leave the black market.'
'Well, all I have left is this Thundermark Snow Fox,' Hong Chang said.
'Alright, you've already become a millionaire by selling two Thundermark Snow Foxes,' Nuo Ta teased, 'I'll help you deal with the remaining one. I happen to have seen that the Federal Trading Post needs a Thundermark Snow Fox.'
'Perfect, I'm planning to buy some armor for both of you. But remember, let's stick to a budget of five million,' Chu Tian said as he waved his bank card.
Upon hearing Chu Tian's words, Nuo Ta dug into his ear, then laughed. 'Are you serious?'
'Of course,' Chu Tian nodded.
At this moment, Hong Chang also laughed.
'Chu Tian, maybe you don't know, but top-quality weapons and equipment require Spirit Crystal exchanges. For instance, your current set of equipment, if traded on the exchange, would be worth at least a thousand Fourth-Level Spirit Crystals.'
Hearing Hong Chang's words, Chu Tian was momentarily stunned.
Reflecting on the novels he had read in his previous life, he slapped his forehead. There was indeed a difference between talented warriors and ordinary people.
Perhaps the Federal currency in his hands was a significant asset among ordinary people, but in the hands of talented warriors, it was probably just a pile of slightly valuable waste paper.
'By the way, all those E-grade materials I have collected were traded for Federal currency. Doesn't that mean I suffered a loss?' Chu Tian suddenly felt a bit distressed.
However, Nuo Ta quickly explained, 'E-grade materials and D-grade materials are generally used to make combat suits or weapons for ordinary people or Federal soldiers, so they are considered basic military supplies. The high-level materials requiring Spirit Crystal exchanges are different. Although some people may price them in Federal currency, their goal is often to deceive inexperienced novice mercenaries like you, who only use Federal currency.'
Chu Tian felt a bit frustrated after listening.
'Alright, pay more attention next time. In fact, you can download a price list of monster materials from the mercenary base. It provides information on material prices and whether they are traded in Federal currency or Spirit Crystals,' Hong Chang reminded.
Chu Tian listened and took out his communicator, searching for a while before finding a material price list that detailed the approximate prices and the currency used for trade. Even some monster cubs were priced.
However, many monsters were traded in Federal currency, except for some special ones, which required Spirit Crystals.
After reviewing the materials he had traded, Chu Tian realized that he hadn't suffered a loss and felt relieved.
'Alright, forget about the combat suits for now. Let's treat ourselves to a few good meals. After all, once the team is formed, we'll soon have our first team mission. UU Reading www.uｕkａｎshu.coｍ by then, we won't have the chance for a big feast.'
Nuo Ta said as he led Hong Chang and Chu Tian out of the black market, found a taxi, and headed to the Federal Trading Post.
A hundred and ten Second-Level Spirit Crystals, that was the price Hong Chang had traded for the Thundermark Snow Fox, and it had a significant markup.
Just as the three of them were preparing to return to their base, their communicators simultaneously received a notification from the mercenary base.
Without hesitation, they took out their communicators and opened the message to find a report notice from the X Mercenary Group.
Notification:
X Mercenary Group, please assemble at the Mercenary Mission Inquiry Office before 6 o'clock this afternoon.
Seeing this message, the three of them quickly took a taxi back to the mercenary base.
Because there was less than an hour left before the stated time.
Upon entering the mercenary building, the three of them quickly arrived at the Mercenary Mission Inquiry Office, where two to three dozen mercenary groups had already gathered.
Looking at these mercenary groups, all of them were composed of ordinary modern combat personnel and talented warriors.
In contrast, their own group relied on primitive combat mechanisms and primarily utilized their talents in battle.
Chu Tian couldn't help but consider acquiring some modern combat equipment for their team.
For example, a single-user external exoskeleton, similar to Iron Man's armor. Although it might struggle against high-level monsters, it would be highly effective in special combat zones like traversing battlefields.
Besides, every man has a dream of becoming Iron Man.
When he watched Iron Man in his previous life, he often fantasized about flying through the sky in Iron Man's armor."
