Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 364 Lu Xiaobei Appears Ahead

The S9-level necklace has full values ​​for critical hit, life steal, and damage increase, and the attack and defense stats are level 2 Rock and level 3 Divine Power. It is only slightly lacking, but it is already quite satisfactory.

Furthermore, the most outstanding feature of this necklace is its burst skill, Swarm Burst, which deals massive damage to a large area of ​​insects for 12 seconds. It is very suitable for team battles, and it only consumes 40 energy points, so it doesn't have a significant impact on one's combat power.

In conclusion, this necklace is most likely the strongest necklace at present, without exception!

"Clap!"

I immediately switched to the new gear, replacing the previous S7-level Gravity Necklace. This two-level upgrade instantly boosted my critical hit rate to 36%, a truly terrifying number.

With a 36% critical hit rate, whether you're attacking or shooting, the critical hit rate fluctuates wildly.

As for the gravity necklace, it's time to retire gracefully and sell it!

Ruolin, Caicai, and the others already have enough pink equipment, so there's no need to give it to them.

……

"call……"

Standing deep within the insect hive, I glanced at my experience points. Soloing a large insect hive, defeating three golden bosses, and receiving rewards from an SS-level quest—this series of achievements had accumulated a large amount of experience points. So I casually confirmed that I had leveled up and reached level 64, gaining an extra skill point.

Skill points...

There are currently no combat skills to learn, but there are quite a few knowledge-based passive skills prepared, mainly for the future ability to repair power armor.

Therefore, I selected the skill "Fundamentals of Materials and Structural Engineering", spent skill points to learn it, and then spent a lot of skill experience to learn it directly to the maximum level of authority, gaining another 36 points of spirit.

At this point, his mental strength has reached 1057 points, which is probably comparable to some mid-level psionicists. With such a strong mental foundation, his resistance to warp energy will be further enhanced!
It must be said that such powerful attributes are very reassuring.

Take a short break and open all the boxes.

The loot from this solo run of the Insect Nest was very plentiful, especially the chests dropped by the dozen or so Star Cave Insect Queens in the nest. These chests could easily yield 3-5 cubic meters of expansion crystals, so after opening all the chests, my dimensional storage space had reached 350+ cubic meters.

That's terrifying! This space is almost equivalent to a three-bedroom apartment!
After confirming once again that the insects in the insect nest had been completely cleared, he returned with his sword, used his earth-burrowing ability and bio-optical invisibility to leave the insect nest, and took out his phone to send a message to Fan Changgui: "President Fan, the insect nest has been cleared, you can have it inspected now."

"Okay, sure..."

Fan Changgui replied: "Ding Han, give me a bank card number. After we confirm it, we will notify the finance department to transfer the commission."

"Row."

I sent him my bank card number directly, then took out my motorcycle and started my return journey.

……

The summer breeze blows, and the air in the wilderness is filled with the scent of growing plants.

I rode my motorcycle at breakneck speed, my figure gradually blending into the wilderness.

"drop!"

Not long after, a message came from a player named Yao Yao: "Ding Han, you posted 'Blade of the Lurkers' on the dark web, right? I want it. Delete the post, and let's meet in the player black market for a face-to-face transaction."

"Row."

I immediately deleted the post and said, "I will arrive at the player black market in about an hour. Wait for me."

"Ok."

Soon after, the player black market appeared.

Inside the private room of the coffee shop, Yao Yao, Xiao Rou, and Lan Lan were all there. Yao Yao and Xiao Rou were still very beautiful, and Lan Lan was still quite large, making people unconsciously take a second look as a sign of respect.

"what……"

I plopped down, picked up the coffee Yao Yao had ordered for me, took a sip, and said, "Why do I have such a strong sense of déjà vu? This doesn't seem to be the first time I've sold you a sword, does it, Yao Yao?"

"Ah."

Yao Yao smiled and said, "The reason we met is because of this sword-selling business."

"I see……"

I nodded, then took out the Lurker's Blade from my storage space and said, "This sword just came out of a ferocious Lurker, it's still warm. You have a good eye."

"Uh-huh!"

Yao Yao's gaze fell on the attributes of the Lurker's Blade, her face full of joy: "How do you plan to sell it?"

"That depends on how you plan to buy it."

"How about this."

Yao Yao said, "We're all on the same side, so let's not play those fancy haggling games. I'll offer 300 million. If you think you can sell it, then sell it. If you can't, then keep listing it on the dark web."

"It can be sold."

Although this Lurker's Blade is a golden longsword, it is not a powered weapon, so 300 million is a fairly reasonable price.

So we hit it off immediately. Yao Yao took out her phone and transferred 300 million to me, then took the Lurker's Blade.

"Ding Han".

Lazy winked at me and asked, "Is your Ding Han team still recruiting?"

"What, you want to join?"

"Ah."

She nodded: "The three of us want to join, is that possible?"

"No."

I shook my head and smiled: "Don't be silly. Your tea house has dozens of people who rely on the three of you for a living. Our Ding Han team is a small team, and we can't accommodate the three big shots like you."

"Hmph, heartless..."

The three of them simultaneously made a contemptuous gesture at me, then walked away.

I just smiled faintly and said nothing.

Ding Han's team needs to maintain its purity. If Yao Yao, Lan Lan, and Xiao Rou, those three lively characters, really join, it will probably become very chaotic, and then it will be difficult for me to command them.

After turning around and leaving the coffee shop, I found Old Ma and cleaned up the rest of the miscellaneous goods, earning another 240 million.

The moment I stepped out of the warehouse, my phone rang.

2000 million RMB has been deposited into your account!
With the commissions from Southern Rare Earth Industry coming in, the total assets quickly reached 7000 million!

This income level is enough to crush 99.99% of the population in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, right?
As for personal income tax under high income... there is absolutely no need to consider this. The tax authorities of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom have already entered the information of most players. No matter what means players use to earn how much money, they do not need to pay a single cent of personal income tax.

As for why...

If you dare to tax the players, they will dare to rebel against you!

I risked my life to kill the enemy and shed blood for the country, and you still want to levy taxes? Are you kidding me?
……

He went downstairs to the garage, got into the S680, and sent a message to Lin Qingying: "Qingying, I've returned to Huaining City. I'm going home to take a shower first; I smell like bugs all over."

She might have been in a meeting and didn't reply immediately.

After waiting for half a minute, Fan Changgui called.

"Ding Han, we've confirmed that the insect hive has indeed been cleared. Thank you... We'll arrange for someone to blow it up right away. As for your 2000 million commission, it's already been transferred. Did you receive it?"

"Received, thank you Mr. Fan."

"We, Southern Rare Earth, should be thanking you..."

Fan Changgui smiled knowingly, “After all, we’re operating a mine in the wilderness, which is a private business. Our country’s army has no reason to protect us merchants’ businesses in the wilderness, and mercenaries only know how to smooth things over. Without you… this mining job might not last long.”

I smiled and said, "Indeed, it would be better if there were fewer swarms of insects."

"Not necessarily."

Fan Changgui laughed and said, "After all, if there were no risks, how could such a huge piece of meat, the minerals outside the Wall of Life, possibly fall into the hands of people like us? You agree, right?"

I laughed and wholeheartedly agreed.

"Ding Han, thank you so much this time."

Fan Changgui said, "My thanks are absolutely heartfelt. How about this... my old buddies and I will treat you to a meal, okay? Let's do it at your Xicheng No. 1 restaurant. I'll bring two bottles of good wine, and we'll have a couple of drinks."

"No, Mr. Fan, I can't hold my liquor. Besides, we also get a commission, so you don't need to be so polite."

"Oh, oh, oh, did I interrupt your date with President Lin?"

"That's not true..."

"Then don't refuse. Just for today, can you reserve a private room for me?"

"Ok."

It wouldn't be good to refuse again, so I had no choice but to agree and sent Zhu Ting a message asking her to reserve a private room.

"drop!"

Zhu Ting replied: "Mr. Ding, the private rooms for tonight were already fully booked the day before yesterday. If it really doesn't work out... we can only add a table on the terrace. I just don't know who you're having dinner with, and whether they'll mind?"

"I don't know if you'll mind, you can make the arrangements first."

"it is good!"

……

Just then, Lin Qingying's message came: "I was in a meeting just now. You must be tired. Go back and take a shower. But I have a dinner party with a business partner tonight, so I can't join you."

"It's alright, I also have a dinner party to attend, right here at Xicheng No. 1."

"Then drink less."

Lin Qingying said, "If I finish here early, I'll come pick you up and take you home."

"Row!"

I drove home, took a hot shower, and washed away the smell of insects all over my body.

After taking a shower, I saw a message from Zhu Ting on my phone, which was charging: "President Ding, a guest in a private room just cancelled, so I transferred it to you. Room 202, is that okay?"

"Okay, this one will do."

So, a private room was available for the evening. After eating a little something, I set my alarm and went to sleep.

……

I slept until 5:30 in the afternoon, and felt like the world was dark.

I quickly got up after turning off the alarm, washed my face, and drove straight to Xicheng No. 1.

"Mr. Ding, the guests in room 202 have arrived."

The shrewd and capable Zhu Ting stepped forward and led me to room 202. After opening the door, she said with a beaming smile, "Gentlemen, our General Manager Ding has arrived!"

"Hey, Ding Han!"

Fan Changgui was the first to stand up, and the three senior executives of Southern Rare Earth on his right also stood up in unison, all with polite smiles on their faces.

"Mr. Fan, I'm sorry, I overslept a little. Have you ordered yet?"

"We ordered quite a lot."

Fan Changgui smiled and said, "Then let's start cooking, we'll begin right away."

"Okay!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the various activities at the dinner table began.

Although I don't like this kind of scene, I can only drink beer with the bosses. What can I do? They are the investors, and they gave me a commission of 2000 million yuan. I can't refuse them, after all, they gave me too much.

……

After three rounds of drinking.

A waiter wearing a pink uniform from Xicheng No. 1 came in and placed one of our extra dishes on the table.

She wore a mask, revealing only her beautiful big eyes. Her hair was tied up and pinned behind her head with a chopstick. Such a simple outfit gave people a fresh and lovely feeling.

Wait, this waiter looks familiar.

And, as soon as I glanced at her, she immediately opened the door and tried to run away, looking like a thief caught in the act.

"Stop!"

I shouted to stop her, then frowned and said, "Lu Xiaobei???"
