Chapter 43: A Huge Harvest!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Year One students of Quicksand High School gathered down from the mountain and formed a square formation again.

“Congrats on first place!”

“How did you do that? I barely managed to reach a hundred!”

“I only got fifty-three points…”

“You’re amazing. How did you win? Can you give me extra lessons tonight?” One of the girls looked at Chu Lingjun with a face full of admiration. She winked and even showed her full chest at him.

Chu Lingjun won the monthly exam and returned to an ambush of attention.

Everyone in Year One Class Four surrounded Chu Lingjun and chattered enthusiastically.

Even the students from the other classes couldn’t help but lean over to listen in on the conversation.

They wanted to know what the ruthless person who had obtained first place in the year looked like.

“This time, it was really all up to luck.”Chu Lingjun replied humbly.

After barely dealing with the crowd, Chu Lingjun leaned against a tree to rest.

Chu Lingjun looked into the depths of the mountain range, only to see explosions and roars of beasts appearing there from time to time.

That was where the exams for the second and third years were held.

The monthly exam for the first years only took three days, while the monthly exam for the second years took seven days, and the monthly exam for the third years took 14 days.

The higher the grade, the stronger the exotic beasts they faced, and the longer they would have to stay in the mountains.

Chu Lingjun even saw many soldiers with loaded guns.

The examination area for the second and third years was much larger, so the school had no choice but to ask for the help of the Quicksand Town’s city guards to maintain control.

Many of the city guards were from Quicksand High School, so they naturally wouldn’t refuse to help.

Just as Chu Lingjun was having his break, a fleet of cars drove over from Quicksand Town. The convoy quickly stopped in front of the camp. Each of them was the size of a huge trailer or semi-trailer. There were quite a number of them present.

The vehicles were all equipped with a large number of steel plates and spikes.

It looked rough and ferocious, and its aura was dominating.

It was obvious that it was made to travel in the wild.

“The people from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce are here!” Ding Peng, who was resting at the side, spoke out as his eyes lit up when he saw the convoy.

The other students around him started to buzz with excitement.

This convoy was here to collect the exotic beasts that Chu Lingjun and the others had hunted.

The earlier they came, the fresher the meat, and the better the price.

At the same time, it saved the school the trouble of transporting all that meat back.

Each beast weighed at least a few dozen kilograms, while the others weighed hundreds of kilograms.

There were more than 1000 students in Quicksand High School!

“Chu Lingjun, you’ve struck gold this time. I guess tonight’s dinner is on you!” Ding Peng said.

“Yes, let’s have a feast!” Chen Zhiqi also jeered.

“Of course! Get whatever you want! It’s on me.” Chu Lingjun waved his hand and said boldly.

On the market, Early Stage Rank One exotic beast meat was 500 dollars per kilogram, Middle Stage Level One was 1000 dollars per kilogram, and Late Stage Level One was 1500 dollars per kilogram.

Of course, this was the retail price. The purchase price naturally couldn’t be so high for students.

After the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce took in everyone’s kill, they needed to transport, sort, process, store, and so on. These were all costs that needed to be covered before gaining profit.

Hiring these butchers also required wages, and a portion of the profits had to be distributed to the retail merchants.

Therefore, according to the negotiations between the school and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, the final purchase price was half of the retail price.

From an objective point of view, this price was still relatively fair.

If the students did not agree to this price, they could transport it back to Quicksand Town and sell it themselves. Sometimes, they might want to bring the meat home to eat.

Based on past experience, it would cost more to sell it by themselves. They would have to rely on connections and sell a small amount to the merchants, otherwise, most of them would lose money.t.

They either dealt with it carelessly, causing the exotic beast meat to be damaged, or they were cheated of the exotic beast meat in their hands because they didn’t understand the market rules.

In the simplest case, different types of exotic beasts had to be handled differently.

Some mutated beasts have poison in their bodies, so they needed experienced

If it wasn’t cleaned or the poison sac accidentally shattered, the meat will be contaminated. The entire beast would be inedible and will have to be discarded.

Some people have accidentally poisoned and injured themselves from being careless. This was even more embarrassing than dying on the battlefield!

The convoy parked, and a large number of butchers got out of the carriages. They recorded, picked, and calculated the prices of the beasts that everyone had hunted.

In this monthly exam, Chu Lingjun had a total of 242 points; not including the 200 points from the weeping monster.

There were a total of 1+7 Early Stage Level One monsters, 27 Middle Stage Level One monsters, and 6 Late Stage Level One Monsters.

Different exotic beasts had different prices.

For example, the Late Stage Level One giant spider that Chu Lingjun killed before the competition ended was cheap.

The butcher could barely remove 10 kilograms of meat from the giant spider. There was nothing else that could be harvested.

Spiders had poisonous heads and mouths, so they couldn’t be sold.

Fortunately, the spider legs were sharp and could be used as raw materials to make weapons. He could sell them for some money and recover some of his losses.

Even so, he still managed to earn a lot from the butcher!

Chu Lingjun looked at the long bill sent by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. There was a simple summary below it.

That was, among the 80 mutated beasts he killed, the average meat yield of each mutated beast was at least 35 kilograms..

Therefore, his reward was as follows.

Early Stage Level One: 411,000 dollars.

Middle Stage Level One: 472,000 dollars.

Late Stage Level One: 157,000 dollars.

In addition, items such as beast fur, shells, claws, and so on were sold for scraps. Due to Chu Lingjun’s lightning attacks, most of these parts were severely damaged and could not be sold for much money.

In the end, Chu Lingjun’s harvest still reached an astonishing 1.2 million dollars after accumulating everything!

When he saw the string of numbers at the bottom, Chu Lingjun’s heart almost skipped a beat!

He counted the profit he earned three times!

In addition to the 30 Spiritual Stones from the first place in the monthly examination, his harvest from this trip had reached an astonishing 1.5 million in total!

“What the f*ck, did I become a millionaire just like that? Yes!”

Chu Lingjun was ecstatic.

After some thought, this meant he was ranked as the number one genius of his year!

Chu Lingjun didn’t sell the weeping monster even when the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce offered a price of 1000 dollars per kilogram for this weeping monster. It was much higher than a Late Stage Level One beast.

However, Chu Lingjun thought about it and rejected the offer!

This was a powerful beast with the bloodline of a mythical creature. Eating this thing should be extremely beneficial to the body!

He wanted to bring it back for his parents and Chu Yue to eat!
