Chapter: Divine Rhythm (Extra Chapter for Sunshine Boss, Eighth Update)
The corpses of eight level two mutated beasts yielded a total of fifty contribution points due to a few being severed in two by Chen Chu, while the others were severely damaged.
Additionally, the boa constrictor contributed another twenty points, bringing the total to seventy contribution points.
However, the real windfall came from a mutated violent ape with a trace of royal bloodline, whose third-level Life Crystal was worth forty contribution points, and the corpse was still worth fifty after losing the crystal.
During these three days out, the four of them collectively earned a total of one hundred sixty contribution points, which was an incredible profit, much easier than hunting blood disciples and traitors.
However, such good fortune was unlikely to happen again.
After all, to locate these mutated beasts, Li Hao spent hundreds of thousands hiring mercenaries to search deep in the mountains for over ten days, consuming massive resources and manpower.
This area was not only barren but also faced annual clearing and resource collection operations by the Keluoya royal experts, making level mutated beasts extremely rare.
The next morning, after resting for a night, Li Hao and Li Meng visited Chen Chu’s room, ready to divide the loot.
Li Meng spoke up first, feeling a bit embarrassed, “I contributed the least this time, especially during the hunt for the violent ape. Just give me twenty contribution points.”
“Twenty? Isn’t that a bit low?” Chen Chu hesitated.
Although it was stated before leaving that those who contributed more would receive more, there had to be a lower limit; otherwise, no one would want to team up with him in the future.
After all, no one liked a person who hogged everything for themselves.
“Twenty points is definitely not enough.”
At that moment, Xia Youhui shook his head and said, “I think A Chu and Li Hao should each take fifty points, while Li Meng and I take thirty each. How about that?”
Li Hao replied solemnly, “That works.”
Chen Chu nodded, “I have no objections.”
Although he delivered the decisive blow to the golden-backed savage ape in the last battle, without Li Hao’s brave resistance despite his injuries, he wouldn’t have been able to wear it down in the early stages.
Moreover, Xia Youhui's final explosion was crucial; otherwise, the golden-backed savage ape might have escaped.
Once it entered the forest, killing it would be difficult.
After all, the area was filled with trees, and with the terrifying strength of that ape, it could easily sweep through towering trees without them being able to reach it.
“This…” Faced with this proposal, Li Meng hesitated a bit, feeling undeserving.
Xia Youhui rolled his eyes, “What’s with the hesitation? It’s simple; the majority rules, so it’s settled like this.”
In the end, Chen Chu received fifty contribution points, which equated to a third-level Life Crystal valued at forty points, along with an additional ten contribution points.
Li Hao ended up with the corpse of the golden-backed savage ape, while Xia Youhui and Li Meng each earned thirty points, leading to a happy outcome for everyone.
“You have converted a high-concentration Life Crystal, gaining 44 attribute points.”
After dividing the loot and the others dispersed, Chen Chu chose to convert it, and the attribute points gained exceeded his expectations.
It’s important to note that the official pricing for Life Crystals is based on the purity of the life energy contained within, not the concentration.
Typically, first and second-grade Life Crystals fluctuate in value by three times.
Between the second and third grades, however, the difference is less than three times, only a bit over two times, yet due to the higher purity of life energy, the price still holds at three times.
For most cultivators, high-purity life energy offers better physical enhancement effects, but for Chen Chu, it was not very cost-effective.
