Two days later, Chen Chu dragged the enormous corpse of the flood python back to school.
"Old Hong, help me calculate."
"I'm coming."
Bang!
The heavy body, measuring over twenty meters long, hit the ground, causing a slight tremor. A residual hot aura emanated from the flood python's body.
The peak fifth-level aura made the surrounding "old students" who were assisting in moving the corpse feel a bit heavy-hearted.
One sophomore, at the early stage of the three heavens, couldn't help but exclaim, "Another peak fifth-level mutated beast! Chen's combat power is terrifying."
"I feel like with your current combat power, you could already challenge the top two hundred on the leaderboard."
Chen Chu smiled modestly and said, "Not at all, senior. You're overestimating me. I barely managed to defeat this scaled horned flood python and almost didn't make it back."
"As for the top two hundred on the leaderboard, those seniors are at least in the mid to late stages of the five heavens. Their strength is remarkable, I'm still a bit lacking."
"Chen, you're a good person overall, but you're just too modest."
Since Chen Chu often came alone and dragged powerful mutated beasts back, most of these seniors recognized him by now.
At this moment, Hong Shan finished measuring and said with a smile, "Little Chen, the corpse of this peak fifth-level mutated beast is intact. The logistics system suggests a price of 150 points, is that alright?"
"No problem." Chen Chu nodded. This time he didn't activate a rune explosion to keep the corpse intact.
Additionally, since his contribution points were already sufficient, he sprinkled a dust to conceal the beast's aura on the way back, which allowed him to return so quickly.
"That's good. The contribution points have been transferred to you."
Immediately, Chen Chu's contribution points accumulated to 415 points.
After leaving the warehouse, Chen Chu returned to his room to take a shower and clean his battle armor.
As he finished dressing and drying his hair, a knock sounded at the door.
"This guy is well-informed."
Without thinking, Chen Chu knew it was Li Fei at the door.
Sure enough, when he opened the door, Li Fei stood outside with a grin and said, "Congratulations, junior, on your successful return."
"Not at all. It's still thanks to your accurate information, or I wouldn't have found that place so easily. But unfortunately, although I discovered some resources this time, I couldn't take them back."
"Oh, why not?" Li Fei was taken aback.
Chen Chu shook his head, "Because that thing is located deep under a volcanic magma lake. Although I killed the guarding fire flood python, I couldn't bring it up."
This time, Chen Chu wasn't lying; he truly couldn't retrieve that unknown resource from who knows how deep down.
Li Fei seemed a bit regretful, "What a shame."
"But don't worry, the final payment due to you won't be short. Although I couldn't obtain that unknown resource, my gains this time were still quite good."
It was somewhat of a twist of fate. Last time, the information Li Fei gave only hinted at potential resources, but Chen Chu had the luck to obtain a few ethereal crystals as a bonus.
This time, under Li Fei's full guarantee of resources, he couldn't bring anything back.
Li Fei nodded with a smile, "Indeed, besides the corpse of a peak fifth-level mutated beast, the Life Crystals are worth quite a bit of contribution too."
Chen Chu raised an eyebrow; this guy found out so quickly that he killed a peak fifth-level mutated beast. Did he have spies in the logistics warehouse as well?
After transferring the remaining 50 points to Li Fei, Chen Chu asked, "So, have you gotten any new intel in the past few days?"
After collaborating twice, Chen Chu was quite satisfied with the information this guy had, which saved him a lot of searching time, even if it meant sharing some benefits.
However, this time Li Fei awkwardly shook his head, "Not this time, junior. My strength is still at the four heavens. Although the secret technique for concealing breath is powerful, I still don't dare to go too deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range."
