Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

Martial artists spend money like water buying weapons and secret manuals, and later when they hunt monsters, they make an extravagant amount of money.

It's normal for an ordinary martial artist to earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of RMB for killing a monster in one mission, while a powerful martial artist might earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of RMB in a single mission.

"Once I become powerful enough, I can easily earn billions or even trillions of dollars on Earth without having to be frugal," Jiang Chen thought to himself.

Around 10 a.m. the next day.

In Mingyue Residential Area, a stranger arrived at Jiang Chen's doorstep; he was delivering a package.

"Hello Mr. Jiang Chen, this is the secret manual you purchased. You can open it directly with your fingerprint."

A staff member handed over an alloy box, which Jiang Chen took and opened with his fingerprint. Inside was a thick "World Destruction" manual and a stack of CDs.

"Please confirm that this is the manual you purchased. Sign here after confirming." The staff member looked at Jiang Chen with envy.

Jiang Chen took it and signed his name.

"Mr. Jiang Chen, since this is your first time purchasing a martial arts manual, I'd like to remind you of something," the deliveryman said with a smile. "The 'World Destruction' manual you purchased was created by Hong, and Hong is also the copyright holder. You only have the right to learn it, not the right to teach it to others. If it is discovered that you have passed it on to others, you will be hunted down by forces such as the Extreme Martial Arts Academy."

"Yes, I understand." Jiang Chen nodded.

At the same time, he thought to himself, "Hong and Thor have made a fortune selling the manuals. The money on Earth is really like waste paper to them."

"Hmm, if that's the case, if I could create an ultimate secret manual and sell it online, I wouldn't have to worry about money on Earth at least."

Jiang Chen suddenly thought of this possibility, but it was just a thought.

Soon, the delivery staff left after completing their delivery.

Jiang Chen had just placed the first level of the "World Destruction" manual in his bedroom when the doorbell rang again.

"Uncle Wu?" Jiang Chen opened the door and saw that the person outside was Chief Instructor Wu Tong.

"Jiang Chen," Wu Tong said with a smile, "didn't one of Zhang Haobai's men offend you and Luo Feng before?"

"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded. He had been so busy lately that he had almost forgotten about this guy.

"It's like this. Zhang Haobai's uncle, Zhang Zehu, is a martial artist at the Thunder Martial Arts Academy. He asked the head instructor of the Thunder Martial Arts Academy in Yangzhou to intercede on his behalf. He's prepared to settle this matter privately with you." Head Instructor Wu Tong laughed, "Jiang Chen, this is a money-making opportunity! You can take this chance to make a fortune."

"Zhang Zehu." Jiang Chen thought of this guy, a high-level warrior who wasn't even a general, yet he always tried to cause trouble, and in the end, he died without a burial place.

Head Instructor Wu Tong said with a smile, "How about it, Jiang Chen? I think we should settle this privately. You and Luo Feng are both newcomers, so we shouldn't make things too awkward."

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded. He wanted to see if Zhang Zehu really had that much guts.

"Okay." Chief Instructor Wu Tong said with a smile, "Luo Feng agreed, and you agreed too, so let's inform them to meet tonight."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.

"By the way, Uncle Wu, I need your help with something," Jiang Chen said with a smile. "I want to buy some weapons, but I found that I have 0 contribution points. The weapons I want to buy are half price, but the minimum price is one star contribution point."

"If I were to buy it at full price, it would cost too much money, and I simply don't have enough start-up capital."

"Oh, I see." Chief Instructor Wu Tong said with a smile, "No problem. I can't buy the manuals for you, but weapons and combat uniforms are fine with me."

"Don't you have my contact number? Just send me the information about the equipment and combat uniforms you need to buy later."

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Uncle Wu."

"It's nothing, a small matter," Wu Tong said with a smile, waving his hand.

Jiang Chen returned home, took out paper and pen, and wrote down what he wanted.

After some editing and confirmation, it was sent.

The full set of the 5-series combat suit is half price at 9 million, and the Blood Cloud Gun No. 2 series A6 model is half price at 10 million, for a total price of 19 million. Adding backpacks, communication watches, and other small tools, the total cost is 300,000, and Jiang Chen's equipment is complete.

"Received." Chief Instructor Wu Tong replied with an "OK" gesture.

Jiang Chen's equipment and weapons were all ready.

As evening fell, Luo Feng and Jiang Chen arrived at the second floor of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, ready to hold a negotiation.

"Luo Feng, Jiang Chen, what a coincidence, your Uncle Kong and Brother Chen are both here." Wu Tong smiled as he brought over course materials, with two other people walking alongside him.

Among the two men beside Wu Tong, one was wiry and had a deep scar on his face that looked as if it had split his face in two, which was quite horrifying.

The other man had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a muscular build, and a smile on his face.

In Yangzhou City, the Extreme Martial Arts Academy has three warriors at the general level: Chief Instructor Wu Tong, Cannon Chen Gu, and Eagle Blade Kong Quan.

Head instructor Wu Tong is now in charge of miscellaneous tasks at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy and no longer hunts monsters, while Chen Gu and Kong Quan continue to hunt monsters in the wilderness.

"Brother Chen, Uncle Kong," Jiang Chen and Luo Feng called out in unison.

"Xiaofeng, Xiaochen, don't worry, we'll stand up for you in this matter. Even those people from the Thunder Martial Arts School won't dare to act arrogantly here!" Chen Gu said with a hearty laugh.

"Yes." Kong Quan nodded without saying anything more.

After a while, the people from the Thunder Martial Arts School also arrived.

The people from the Limit Martial Arts Academy and the Thunder Martial Arts Academy sat opposite each other, with more than twenty people from the Limit Martial Arts Academy and eight people from the Thunder Martial Arts Academy.

Jiang Chen sized up a burly man sitting slightly to the left of the middle of the Thunder Martial Arts Hall. That was Zhang Haobai's uncle, Zhang Zehu, the martial artist "Mountain-Opening Tiger" of the Thunder Martial Arts Hall.

With a pair of broad, fan-like hands, he was skilled at using a giant machete held in both hands, hence the nickname "Mountain-Splitting Tiger".

"Wu Tong, it's true that Hu Zi's nephew was in the wrong," the head instructor of Thunder Martial Arts Academy said with a smile. "But his nephew is just a little kid, it's normal for him to be ignorant. Besides, he's just an ordinary person, not a martial artist, there's no need to hold a grudge against him."

"Old Li, stop with the nonsense." Wu Tong shook his head and smiled. "This matter is already very clear. You've come here obviously to settle this privately, right? Kaishanhu, what's the matter?"

Zhang Zehu said with a smile, "This matter is my nephew's fault, but we still need Xiao Luo and Xiao Jiang to personally discuss what would be satisfactory."

"Shut up! You call Xiao Luo and Xiao Jiang who you are? They're our brothers from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy," Kong Quan snapped.

Zhang Zehu dared not speak. He was still somewhat intimidated by Eagle Knife Kong Quan, but he was less worried about Chen Gu, who used firearms.

Once you use firearms and reach the rank of general, your life is over.

Jiang Chen didn't waste any words. He looked at Zhang Zehu, stretched out his hand, waved it in front of him, and said with a smile, "I'm not injured, so I won't make a fuss about it. In short, fifty million Chinese yuan, and this matter is over."

"Mr. Zhang Zehu," Luo Feng said with a smile, "I feel very bad for troubling so many brothers from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy with this matter."

"Zhang Haobai wanted to break my leg. In my opinion, if I wasn't injured, then everything would be fine. But if he tried to hit my dad, that's just asking for death!"

"Hmph, for this matter, I, Luo Feng, will give you face by paying 5000 million in compensation, and consider this the end of it."

The martial artists at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy laughed. They hadn't expected these two newcomers to be so bold; neither of them gave Zhang Zehu any face.

Jiang Chen just smiled and looked at Zhang Zehu, waiting to see his reaction. Did a mere high-level warrior expect him to give him face?

"Huh?" Zhang Zehu glared with eyes as big as saucers and shouted, "You two are really asking for the moon! Fifty million each, that's a hundred million for both of you!"

"The price is too high," said Master Li of the Thunder Martial Arts School, shaking his head.

Wu Tong, the head instructor of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, looked at both sides, smiled and waved his hand, "Alright, listen to my advice."

"How about this, fifty million for two people is a bit too much for Zhang Zehu. Give me some face, thirty million each, and we'll call it even."

"Luo Feng, Jiang Chen, what do you think?"

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.

"We'll do as you say, Uncle Wu." Luo Feng nodded with a smile.

Snapped

Zhang Zehu suddenly stood up, slammed his fist on the table, and roared, "Two little brats, they asked for fifty million right off the bat, and now it's only thirty million? Do they think I'm a fat sheep?!"

"In short, five million per person, and that's the end of it."

"You two little brats, you've only ever fought the weakest monster in the military region, and now you think you're so high and mighty?"

"Let me remind you, the wild isn't just dangerous because of monsters; some people are dangerous too. I'm not far from becoming a warrior; what about you?"

Jiang Chen, backed by his strength, wasn't intimidated at all. He calmly said, "Five million? Zhang Zehu, look at the brothers from our Extreme Martial Arts Academy. Their reputation alone isn't worth five million!"

"Also, just a heads up, my physical abilities have already reached the level of an advanced warrior, and I'm about to reach the level of a general."

"What?" Zhang Zehu, who was about to leave, stopped and turned around to look at Jiang Chen, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Master Li of the Thunder Martial Arts Academy frowned and asked, "Wu Tong, is this true?"

Wu Tong said with a smile, "That's right, Jiang Chen is very talented. In terms of strength, he is already a high-level warrior. It's just that he hasn't hunted any monsters, so his strength rating is only that of a low-level warrior."

Zhang Zehu slowly sat down again, his brows furrowed as he stared at Jiang Chen, lost in thought.

Wu Tong then dropped another bombshell, saying to Jiang Chen with a smile, "By the way, Jiang Chen, you absolutely mustn't join any martial artists' teams for the next month. We'll be sending you to the global headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy for training in a month."

"Yes, Uncle Wu." Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.

"Alright, I agree." Zhang Zehu suddenly made up his mind and shouted, "I'll give you face and settle things privately with Jiang Chen for thirty million. As for Luo Feng..."

Zhang Zehu snorted, "A mere newly promoted martial artist wants to steal thirty million from me? No way!"

Without wasting any words, Jiang Chen quickly wrote down his bank number on the form and handed it to Zhang Zehu.

"Hmm." Zhang Zehu took it and nodded, his expression somewhat grim.

I never expected that bullying a newbie would lead to encountering such a troublesome opponent.

"Let's go." Zhang Zehu stood up and led the people from the Thunder Martial Arts School out of the room.

"It's my treat tonight." Jiang Chen was in a great mood after just receiving 30 million.

"it is good."

"Haha, a single payout of 30 million, I'm so envious!"

"That's Jiang Chen's strength. If you were that talented, Zhang Zehu wouldn't dare to utter a single word either."

Many martial artists from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy also walked out of the room with smiles on their faces.
