Nearly a hundred people were watching, but now it was dead silent.

The Falcon Squad of the Black Tortoise Guild had acted, and in an instant, four people had turned to ash!

And the one who killed them was Jiang Kai, who had just passed the newcomer assessment ten days ago!

The four members of the Falcon Squad probably couldn't figure out even in death why, despite being told by the Sky Sword Squad leader that Jiang Kai was skilled in close combat, they couldn't even touch him before meeting their end.

Everything happened so suddenly. One moment, everyone thought Jiang Kai was doomed, and the next, the outcome had completely reversed!

The ground vegetation withered, leaving only four piles of charred bones, with a faint scent of roasted meat lingering in the air.

For a good four or five seconds, no one made a sound, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Finally, Jiang Kai spoke.

"Not bad, I can loot 10,000 experience points from one person, and I leveled up?"

Pfft... Shanshan immediately spat blood.

This guy wasn't speaking earlier because he was looting experience?

With 10,000 experience points looted, the penalty doubled, meaning each of their captains lost 20,000 experience points!

"Sigh, killed again." Jiang Kai sighed, frowning slightly.

He entered his calling to make money, but in ten days, he had killed five people, averaging one every two days. He wondered if the military would list him as a wanted criminal at this rate.

Putting his thoughts aside, Jiang Kai's gaze fell on the only survivor of the Falcon Squad.

Xu Xiaoxiao was staring in shock at her companions' bodies.

She was a doctor, but not a deity. Her captain and the others had turned to ash in an instant, and there was nothing she could do. The blow was too much for her.

"Captain, Brother Yong, everyone... it's my fault..." she said, collapsing to the ground in grief, tears streaming down her face.

At this moment, she saw Jiang Kai walking towards her step by step.

Suddenly, from somewhere, she found the courage to shout at Jiang Kai, "Do you want to kill me too? I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of you. If you want to kill, then kill. I, Xu Xiaoxiao, will not bow to you!"

Her words made people see this girl in a different light.

Jiang Kai stood in front of Xu Xiaoxiao and smiled slightly, "Young lady, are you mistaken? It was you who wanted to kill me. How come from your mouth, I became the villain?"

Xu Xiaoxiao was suddenly taken aback.

It seemed she really had reversed the roles.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

"You..."

Jiang Kai looked at Xu Xiaoxiao calmly, "But you remind me of an old friend. Though a doctor, she had a brave heart... Since you didn't attack earlier, I'll let you go."

"I don't need your pity!" Xu Xiaoxiao said firmly, tears in her eyes.

Jiang Kai shook his head with a smile and turned away, "You make it sound like I'm some great villain. Girl, if you want to hate someone, hate Huang Da. He's the one who sent you to kill me."

"Do you expect me to stand here and let you kill me?"

"If you ever meet Huang Da, tell him that Jiang Kai remembers this debt!"

With that, Jiang Kai walked towards the Safe Zone, leaving behind a group of stunned onlookers.

It took a long time for people to recover from the shock.

"My god, it's incomprehensible, truly incomprehensible, I just can't understand..."

"Don't ask me, I don't get it either!" said the person next to him immediately. "All I know is that guy instantly killed the Falcon Squad of the Black Tortoise Guild. Beyond that, I know nothing!"

Many people probably shared this person's thoughts.

Why were the previous attacks ineffective? Why did a single strike instantly kill four top-tier first-level experts?

How could someone who just passed the newcomer assessment possess such terrifying combat power?

Too many questions, no answers, and all they could be sure of was the final result.

...

Jiang Kai was a bit upset. The Black Tortoise Guild really sent people to hunt him down, even trying to kill him to the point where he couldn't log in.

If he hadn't obtained the gloves with group attack capabilities, the outcome in a one-against-many situation would have been uncertain.

If he were killed, his doubling talent would cause him to suffer even greater losses, and he might never have a chance to turn things around.

"Huang Da, you want to kill me in reality, and in my calling, you still want to kill me... Fine, I wasn't planning on going all out against you, but since your Black Tortoise Guild is pushing too far, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Jiang Kai said fiercely.

Taking a long breath to calm himself, Jiang Kai decided to check the spoils of this hunt first.

Arriving at Supply Station No. 27, Jiang Kai went to the trading window.

"Hello." The young lady inside smiled with two dimples, her sweet appearance temporarily making Jiang Kai forget his earlier displeasure.

"Hello, beautiful, I have some items to sell."

"Alright," the young lady said with a smile.

Jiang Kai took out 264 corpse cards from his card pouch and placed them on the table.

Stacked together, the two hundred-plus cards formed two thick piles, each about ten centimeters high.

"This, so many, how long did your squad save these up?"

"Not long, just give me a price."

The young lady nodded, took out a light yellow wooden box, and placed the cards neatly inside.

Soon, a few lines appeared on the box.

[10-level Mighty Black Ape Corpse Card 5 pieces, 11-level Mighty Black Ape Corpse Card 8 pieces, 12-level..., total 107 pieces, offer 7280 Star Coins.]

[17-level Charred Black Ape Corpse Card 7 pieces, 18-level Charred Black Ape Corpse Card 11 pieces, 19-level..., total 157 pieces, offer 2040 Star Coins.]

The young lady was surprised by the data, muttering to herself, "Selling corpse cards can almost fetch 10,000 Star Coins, how extravagant."

"But why are there so many charred corpses?"

She then looked up at Jiang Kai and said, "If you sell here, you'll get a detailed offer, with the unit price for each level of corpse card."

"We're a military buyer, our prices are always open and transparent, you can rest assured."

Jiang Kai thought for a moment and asked, "How do your prices compare to the main city?"

"Depends on where you sell. If you sell to other individuals, they might offer up to 10% more than us, but... they probably won't want charred corpses. If you sell to merchants or guilds, the price is about the same as ours."

"Oh, and generally individuals won't buy so many at once. If you want to sell them all, it might take some time to find a buyer."

Jiang Kai thought about it and felt the young lady made sense.

The military's store had always been reputable, so Jiang Kai decided to first check the value of other items he had.

"I also have some ores here, could you please give me a quote?"

"Ores?" The young lady's expression showed she was clearly more interested in ores than corpse cards. "Sure."

"There are quite a few, it's inconvenient to take them out at the window."

"Are there many?"

"Yes, a total of 19 elite treasure chests, all from treasure chests. To save card pouch space, I didn't open many of them, and it's inconvenient to open them here."

"Ni-nineteen elite treasure chests?" The young lady unconsciously raised her voice but quickly realized her mistake and lowered it again, "Sorry, which squad are you from?"

Jiang Kai didn't answer.

The young lady realized she had asked too much, leaned out, and said to the guards nearby, "Brother Li, Brother Wang, could you please bring him inside?"

The two guards exchanged a glance, looked at Jiang Kai, and then led him through the back door of the supply station.

The supply station wasn't very large, divided into three areas: one side was the trading window, the other was the supply window, and the middle area was a warehouse filled with various goods.

The guards led Jiang Kai to a small room in the trading district.

The trading window had been closed by the young lady, indicating she intended to personally attend to Jiang Kai.

Jiang Kai immediately took out the treasure chest cards and unloaded all the ores and gems from them.

A total of nineteen chests, soon the room's floor was filled with a colorful array of ores, turning the entire room into a vibrant display.

After the busy work, Jiang Kai looked at the young lady, "Miss, could you give me an estimate?"

Seeing no response, Jiang Kai called out again, "Miss?"

The young lady snapped back to reality, hurriedly responding with an "Oh," and used her watch to assess the ores.

"The mineral quality in King's Valley is divided into three levels: ordinary, fine, and premium. Most of yours are fine, with some premium. Rest assured, the price we offer will definitely satisfy you!"

Jiang Kai frowned slightly. Before even starting the appraisal, her words seemed eager to close the deal.

Could it be that these stones were quite valuable?

[Author's Note]: I originally planned to update four times a day, but it seems my body can't handle it.

I'll plan to update three times a day from now on. Alas, my five-sided warrior can't be maintained.
