Swallowing the Stars: The Wind Sword Master.

Chapter 31 Strength Verification

Clang!

With the removal of the truck's upper deck panel, several exposed sharp teeth can be seen.

"Boom!"

The carriage was fully opened, revealing a carriage full of materials that looked like they were baring their teeth and claws, as well as many horribly shaped skeletons. Neatly stacked furs reflected various eerie lights in the sunlight, and the bloodstains on the furs carried a strong fishy smell.

At first glance, the young staff member was utterly astonished, exclaiming repeatedly, "Could these long teeth be the teeth of a long-fanged green demon? There are so many, my God!"

"Its fur shimmers with a faint glow, its texture so fine it seems to have a layer of oil on it. This is a two-tailed cat monster, and its size is at the warrior-general level!"

"And this..."

At this point, the young staff member quickly turned around, bowed respectfully, and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. There are so many materials, and many of them are of the general level. I can't finish inspecting them all in one day. I need to find a steward to handle them."

"Okay. Let's go."

"This way, sir."

We returned to the hall.

"Sir, please wait here for a moment. I will go and consult the steward."

"it is good."

Sitting on the sofa in the waiting area, Shu Yi asked with great confusion, "There are even materials at the Beast General level? Did you kill those too? Didn't you just reach the Warrior General standard in terms of physical fitness?"

"certainly!"

Ning Ze reached out and pinched Xiao Jing's nose, saying seriously, "I'm very strong! My strength will increase dramatically after successfully mastering a top-tier secret technique!"

"Wind Slash? What level have you reached in your cultivation?"

"The number of levels you buy determines the number of levels you cultivate."

"Fourfold?"

"Um."

Shu Yi retorted angrily, "You lied to me again! Grandpa said even the first level is extremely difficult! How could you possibly have reached the fourth level in such a short time?"

"Yes, Grandpa is right," Ning Ze replied lazily.

Shu Yi felt a little angry at being given the perfunctory attitude, and her mind was a bit confused. She didn't know who to listen to.

Neither side seemed to be lying to her, but it was just very contradictory!

A short while later, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline walked over; he was the deacon here.

After exchanging greetings and getting to know each other briefly, the bald butler and his staff began taking statistics.

I was busy for two hours.

The bald butler wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked to the lounge area in the lobby, and said with a smile, "Mr. Ning, your material prices have been tallied."

"Oh? How much is it worth?"

Ning Ze was also very curious about the price of this batch of materials. It was his first time selling materials, and also his first time making a lot of money.

The bald deacon looked at the tablet in his hand and replied, "These materials you have come from a total of 1895 monsters. There are 42 of them at the beginner-level Beast General level. Among them, the Long-Fanged Green Demon is the most valuable, with a price tag of 7500 million Chinese Yuan in the martial arts hall."

Shu Yi has a small, round mouth, and her shocked expression is quite cute. 7500 million Chinese yuan is almost a hundred million!

She didn't really know how dangerous the Long Fang Blue Demon was. After all, all the monsters in textbooks were very dangerous. At most, the textbooks would just say that the monsters were naturally social, nomadic, and cruel.

As for how dangerous it is, you have no idea unless you've been to a wilderness area.

Ning Ze thought for a moment and decided that the price was reasonable; his budget was 7000 million Chinese yuan.

After all, normally speaking, as the leader of a monster horde, the Long Fang Green Demon has at least a thousand subordinates, making it extremely strong in team combat and as rare as a high-level beast general.

The price offered by the Extreme Martial Arts Academy is slightly lower, which is two-thirds of the price offered by the Underground Alliance. The remaining one-third will be converted into martial arts academy contribution points.

Seeing that Ning Ze agreed, the bald deacon continued, "Among the remaining 41 low-level warrior monsters, the price of the Twin-Tailed Cat Monster is 900 million Chinese Yuan, the price of the Golden Feather Long-Haired Hou is 1200 million, the price of the Shadow Cat Monster is 800 million Chinese Yuan... These total 4.17 million, plus that Long-Fanged Green Oni, the total price of all warrior-level monsters is 4.92 million."

After speaking, he looked over with some concern. Generally, martial arts teams start from the main city and sell materials to the Extreme General Hall in the main city. Only a small number of martial arts teams start from Yangzhou District.

4.92 million Chinese Yuan is equivalent to the materials of more than 50 low-level Beast Generals. Beast General monsters are not easy to hunt. It would take a typical team of warrior generals more than half a year to hunt them. This is a great achievement!

However, the Extreme Martial Arts Academy is known for its low prices, and he was worried that Ning Ze would not be satisfied with the price.

Ning Ze pondered for a moment, then said, "Continue."

The bald deacon's eyes gleamed with secret delight. Now that the price for a beast-general-level monster had been agreed upon, things would be much easier to discuss later.

"The rest are F-rank monsters and a small number of high-value G-rank monster materials, mostly Longfang Blue Oni." The bald deacon was quite shocked. Needless to say, he knew that this was the slaughter of a whole group. "There are a total of 586 Longfang Blue Oni, 375 of which are F-rank and 211 are G-rank. The price for F-rank is 50,000 and the price for G-rank is 20,000. However, your materials were not collected completely. You only took the key parts such as fangs and claws, so the price will be slightly reduced. I can only give you 80%, which is 1832 million."

"As for the materials for the remaining 1267 F-rank monsters, the price is much lower than that of the Long Fang Blue Oni. You should also know that H, G, and F-rank monsters can be easily killed with firearms, and each one costs at most 1. The total price is only 950 million."

"That brings the total to 519.82 million Chinese Yuan. Your contribution points are 259910. Now that you have over 100,000 contribution points, you can upgrade to two stars. What do you think?"

Reaching 10,000 contribution points equates to a one-star rating.

The contribution points have reached 100,000, which is equivalent to a two-star rating.

Reaching one million contribution points equates to three-star rating.

Reaching ten million contribution points equates to a four-star rating.

The price of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy is only two-thirds, which means that 2.6 million Huaxia coins were exchanged for 259910 contribution points, which is equivalent to 1000 Huaxia coins per contribution point.

If you donate, it takes 1 Huaxia Coins to get one contribution point.

Selling monsters is ten times cheaper than using money directly!

Ning Ze agreed without hesitation, "Okay, but you have to help me with a strength certification assessment. Let's use that long-fanged blue demon as my battle record."

"This..." The bald deacon's face twisted with difficulty as he said, "Mr. Ning, certification is possible, but you need to meet the required strength standards, not based on the goods you sell. It requires testing your physical fitness..." He then cautiously looked over. According to the information, he was only 19 years old. He couldn't possibly become a warrior at such a young age; those who become martial artists at that age are all geniuses!

"No problem! Apply!" Ning Ze replied immediately.

"Huh?" The bald deacon was dumbfounded. "Mr. Ning, this is no joke. A martial arts master will come forward to test you, deceiving the martial arts school..."

"I am the general! Please apply, thank you."

Ning Ze politely reiterated, adding, "Please do it as soon as possible, if possible."

"good!"

The bald butler swallowed hard. "I've sent a transfer request. Please check your bank account." With that, he quickly ran off.

Ning Ze turned around and immediately smiled.

Shu Yi tilted her little face up, widened her eyes, and looked adorable.

"bite."

The communicator beeps twice.

Ning Ze looked down.

Your contribution points have increased to 273085, exceeding 10 contribution points, and your contribution points have reached two stars.

：你尾号8720卡于9月1日11:30华夏银行存入5亿1982万华夏币，余额522，803，000.（华夏银行）

Ning Ze smiled slightly. The transfer speed was indeed fast. He raised his hand and waved it. "What are you daydreaming about? You little money-grubber."

Shu Yi's eyes seemed to sparkle as she excitedly exclaimed, "You're amazing! This is all yours? How much is left after the distribution? I heard Grandpa say that even if you don't contribute, you still get half a share, which is considered team profit sharing. How much will you get?"

"bite."

The communicator beeped again, and Ning Ze immediately clicked on the notification when he saw it was a money transfer.

：你尾号8720卡于9月1日11:31华夏银行存入16亿5千万华夏币，余额2，172，803，000.（华夏银行）

Shu Yi's excitement gradually froze. Staring at the long string of numbers, she became stunned again. She turned her head and asked blankly, "Who made the transfer? What does this mean?"

Ning Ze said with a playful smile, "Didn't you just say that?"

"What did you say?" Shu Yi looked confused.

Ning Ze smiled faintly and said matter-of-factly, "Of course it's profit sharing!"

"No! No...profit sharing?" Shu Yi's expression was conflicted; she couldn't understand it at all. "Aren't you supposed to share profits with your teammates? Why would they transfer money to you?"

Ning Ze said in a serious tone, "I shared the profits with my teammates!"

"Then why did they transfer money to you? And..." Shu Yi stared at the long string of numbers on the communicator, secretly swallowing hard, "...and it's 1.6 billion!"

Ning Ze smiled faintly, quite pleased with his girlfriend's surprised expression. He said calmly, "That's because there are more monsters over there. My side is just a lower-level part."

"You..." Shu Yi bit her lip with a pained expression, looking confused. These were all low-level monsters, so the monsters over there must be much stronger.

Indeed, stronger monsters are more valuable.

The Warfire Squad is indeed a squad of warriors, capable of hunting high-level beast general-level monsters, but how many monsters would it take to distribute so many to Ning Ze?

She knows the prices of monsters. High-level Beast General-level monsters are priced between 5000 million and 5 million, with most costing less than 1 million.

Now that they've split 1.6 billion, even if they divide it equally based on their efforts, each of the six members of the War Squad would receive 1.6 billion, which is more than the equivalent of sixteen monsters. In total, the six of them would have over a hundred monsters!

Ning Ze enjoyed seeing her silly and clueless expression. This girl never believed in his strength and was always considered weak, which he found quite strange.

It seems like her father used to be like that too, but after taking action, Ning Hua now believes him.

Even his mother believed him, but this girl always thought he was bragging.

"Ding...ding..."

"Don't look at it yet. The digits are correct. The bank can't possibly embezzle two billion from me. Let me take this call."

When Ning Ze saw the call from Zuo Xingyuan, he gently pushed the little head off his hand and answered the call.

"Kid! Has the money arrived yet?" On the other end of the phone, Zuo Xingyuan's voice was loud and clear, and he looked refreshed.

Ning Ze nodded and replied, "We received 1.65 billion. Uncle Zuo, I sold 5.19 million worth of goods, and 260 million of that should have been converted into contribution points, meaning the total value is 7.78 million. Everyone should have lost 100 million with me. Have you deducted that?"

"Loss my ass!" Zuo Xingyuan glared and yelled, "I transferred 16.5 billion to you, do you even know how much we actually sold?"

「那头长獠青鬼就卖了3个亿，15头高级兽将级卖了11.25亿，27头中级兽将卖了10.8亿！高级兽将你占7成7，中级兽将你占6成5，长獠青鬼你占8成。总共25亿，给你小子16.5亿，我们还赚8.5亿。」

"Damn it, I made 200 million this time, and even Old Yang, that big spender on bullets, made 100 million. They've only saved 600 million in over a decade; this is equivalent to two years of our earnings. Money is no object!"

"You have no idea what it was like when we went to sell the materials. We completely stunned those guys, hahaha..."

Zuo Xingyuan described the scene with great enthusiasm, while Ning Ze forced a smile.

Shu Yi also secretly stretched her little head over and leaned on Ning Ze's shoulder, covering her mouth and chuckling as she watched Zuo Xingyuan's comical appearance.

After giving a lengthy explanation, Zuo Xingyuan also noticed the figure on the screen.

"Huh!"

He smiled ambiguously, his nose twitching and eyes squinting, making him look like a pumpkin.

"You two young people are together? We can't disturb you like this. We're on our way to Old Xu's for a drink. Your aunt's cooking is amazing! You went there a few times when you were little."

"Okay, Uncle Zuo, I won't go this time. I'm planning to take Xiao Guai home. I also have something I need to discuss with my dad," Ning Ze said with some regret.

"go home?"

"Good lad, I'd almost forgotten!"

Zuo Xingyuan looked like he had just realized something, and he said hurriedly, "You two can go for a walk outside first, I'll call Boss Ning first."

Ning Ze had a big smile on his face; he was preparing to show off to his father.

"We'll have to wait a bit; I still need to get my credentials verified. The talent just left, they should be here soon."

"Okay, that's all, bye."

The call has ended.

Ning Ze lowered his arm, and in the blink of an eye, Shu Yi was looking thoughtful with her head down, seemingly lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about?"

Shu Yi shook her head. Ning Ze wanted to ask more, but then a shout came from afar.

"Mr. Ning, the evaluation team will be here soon. Shall we begin the performance verification now?"

Ning Ze looked up and replied, "Okay." He turned around and said, "Come on, let's do a skills verification first."

Following the bald deacon, we arrived at a cultivation hall. No one was cultivating there; there were only some testing machines, presumably used specifically for strength certification.

A tall, middle-aged man in a suit stood next to the punching power testing machine. When he saw them come in, he frowned and asked, "So you're the one who wants to have your strength certified? Or are you using the Long Fang Blue Demon as your record?" His eyes clearly showed that he didn't quite believe them.

Ning Ze thought for a moment and recognized the man, replying, "Yes, Uncle Zhuang, it was me who conducted the strength verification."

The middle-aged man was taken aback. He actually knew him?

"Who are you?"

"My dad's nickname is 'Golden Knife,' and I saw you at the martial arts school a couple of years ago."

The middle-aged man immediately realized, his face lighting up with delight. He laughed, "So it's you! Ning Ze, isn't it? I've heard you're incredibly talented, but I didn't expect you to become a general so quickly. Want to give it a try?"

Ning Ze gently patted Shu Yi's hand to signal her to let go, then went to the punching power testing machine and threw a punch without hesitation.

"Boom!"

The punching bag shook violently.

The punching power tester's screen displays 8150kg.

Uncle Zhuang said with a mocking expression, "Kid, you call me uncle and you think you can fool me like this? With this kind of strength, you can't kill the Long Fang Green Ghost."

Ning Ze nodded and smiled, then moved and punched the punching bag hard again.

"Boom!"

The punching power tester's screen displays 17107kg.

Uncle Zhuang's pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed, "Good lad! That's more than double the normal power! Your strength isn't far from that of a mid-level warrior. You've mastered the second level of the 'Wind Slash'!"

Ning Ze smiled slightly and replied, "I gained some insights during this trip to the wilderness. I was lucky enough to comprehend the second level."

"sharp!"

"sharp!"

"Old Ning has struck it rich!"

"Come on, let's continue the test!"

Final test results.

Speed ​​– 185m/s. Mid-level warrior standard.

Neural reaction speed – perfect score for intermediate warriors, excellent for advanced warriors.
