Chapter 45: Becoming a Billionaire, the Fifth Pillar

“That’s… a Void Falcon?

“There’s also a Class 4 Titan Crocodile?

“That’s also a Class 4 Direbeast!”

Looking at the pile of Class 4 Direbeast carcasses that exuded a terrifying aura, Wang Yun exclaimed repeatedly before he started the appraisal process once again.

This time, the number of Direbeasts was much lesser and only took ten minutes for the appraisal to be completed. However, both master and disciple were more shocked than ever.

“Five Vold Falcon carcasses. While they are not in as perfect of a condition as the last time, the most valuable Void bladders are all there!”

Wang Yun had a complicated look on his face. “Did you kill all five of these Void Falcons?”

“Yep!”

Ling Jiu nodded slightly.

“Young man, you’ve just made bank!”

Wang Yun was aghast with emotion. “A Vold Falcon corpse is worth 150 million, and these five corpses alone have made you 750 million!”

“Ol’ Ling, I admit that I am jealous of you!”

Li Kai’s eyes were green with envy. “Aside from the Void Falcon carcasses that are worth 750 million, the 104 Class 4 Direbeasts you have killed are worth 670 million!”

“So all in all, it adds up to 1.42 billion! Adding on the 280 million from earlier, the total is 1.7 billion! Wow, 1.7 billion! Do you know how many years I need to work to earn that amount of money?

“No, tonight’s treat is on you, and it shall be a feast fit for a king!”

“Wasn’t it supposed to be your treat? Why did it suddenly become my treat instead?” Ling Jiu was speechless.

“You’ve earned so much and still have the cheek to ask me to treat you? Where’s your dignity?” Li Kai said angrily.

“Oh, by the way, how strong are you now? You can even kill a Class 4 Direbeast! Have you already reached Level 4? How old are you again?”

“I have indeed reached Level 4!”

…

After leaving the Appraisal Department, Ling Jiu came to the general manager’s office, who looked at him as he pushed the door open. Luo Jia’s pupils shrank. “Ling Jiu, have you reached Level 4?”

“Sure enough, I can’t hide anything from you, Ms. Luo!”

Ling Jiu did not deny it.

“Four levels in seven months!”

Luo Jia stared at Ling Jiu. “Your progress is just too fast, so much so that it is comparable to the geniuses from those big base cities, whom the HQ has recruited!”

“It’s all luck!”

Ling Jiu smiled faintly. “Ms. Luo, I would like to sell something!”

“Oh? Take them out, and let me have a look!”

Luo Jia’s body trembled a little as an expression of interest appeared on her face. Ling Jiu waved his right hand and took out two Snowdragon Biles.

“This is…”

“Snowdragon Bile?” Luo Jia muttered softly.

“Snowdragon Bile!”

Ling Jiu nodded slightly.

The Snowdragon Bile was a precious item. Consuming one would instantly increase a person’s “inner strength” for five years. If it were not for the diminishing effects, Ling Jiu would not have wanted to sell them off.

After the first five years of consuming the first plant, the effect of the second consumption would immediately weaken, increasing one’s inner strength for a year. The third consumption would be even weaker, lasting less than three months!

In view of this, Ling Jiu knew that the effects of the remaining ones would be even weaker, so he did not eat the remaining two Snowdragon Biles and sold them instead.

After all, a single one was worth 4 billion, a pretty penny!

“This is a Snowdragon Bile… Your luck sure is great. Your breakthrough to Level 4 is a result of eating the Snowdragon Bile, right?” Luo Jia whispered in amazement.

“Ms. Luo, you have a good eye!”

“It was the Icehollow Weed the last time, and the Snowdragon Bile this time. I’ve been the GM of this company for several years now, and I’ve never seen a Wild Hunter as lucky as you! But, luck is also a part of your strength, and your luck sure runs deep!”

Luo Jia smiled a little. “Do you want to sell all of the Snowdragon Biles? A single plant is worth 4 billion, and two will be 8 billion, so you will get 80 contribution points!”

“I’ll sell them!”

“Okay!”

A moment later, Pangu Mall added another transaction to their record, and Ling Jiu’s savings increased by another 8 billion.

“Altogether, you have sold a total of 13 billion’s worth of items, and now you are a proper billionaire with 130 contribution points!”

Luo Jia smiled and said, “Speaking of which, looking at the entire Lantian Base City, there really are few who are worth more than you!”

“It’s all luck!”

Ling Jiu smiled and added, “Ms. Luo, I would like to buy the advanced-level Gene Arcana secret technique!”

“I thought so!”

Luo Jia was not surprised at all. “After all, for a level 4 Arcanist, the efficiency of an intermediate-level Gene Arcana secret technique is indeed somewhat low.”

Ling Jiu swiped his card to pay, and 10 billion of his net worth instantly evaporated. Soon after, Luo Jia handed him a USB drive equipped with the advanced-level Gene Arcana secret technique in it.

“Ling Jiu, congratulations on getting the advanced-level Gene Arcana secret technique.”

Luo Jia smiled and said, “With this, I believe your progress will be even faster, and it won’t take too long for you to surpass me!”

“Ms. Luo, you sure know how to joke!”

“I’m not joking. At the speed you’re progressing, surpassing me is just a matter of time!” Luo Jia smiled. “All right, let’s skip the idle chatter and talk about you. You are now a Level 4 Arcanist, and there are few in the company who are stronger than you!”

“So, the question now is where to place you.”

“I’ll follow your arrangement, Ms. Luo!”

Ling Jiu taichi-ed the problem back to Luo Jia.

“You cheeky brat!”

Luo Jia smiled helplessly. “To deal with this issue, I have two ideas for the time being. I’ll let you know first, so you can consider them yourself.”

“First, continue to stay in Lantian Base City. With your strength, there’s no problem with you serving as Assistant General Manager.”

“Assistant General Manager?”

Ling Jiu was startled. There were three Assistant General Managers in Pangu’s Lantian Base City branch. Alongside the general manager, Luo Jia, the four of them were considered the four pillars of the branch.

As long as he stayed in Lantian Base City, he could become the fifth pillar, standing beneath one person and above tens of thousands. It was a veritable leap to the top!

“But I don’t recommend you to take this route!”

Luo Jia continued, “You’re only 16 years old. It’s a good time for you to forge ahead and improve your strength. Participating in company affairs too early will distract you, and that’s not good for your future development.”

“Luo Jia, you mean…”

Ling Jiu looked at Luo Jia.

“You should join the super training camp!”

Luo Jia slowly said, “You’ve awakened your Arcana for less than a year, and you are already a Level 4 Arcanist. You are fully qualified to participate in the super training camp!”

“What’s the super training camp?”

Ling Jiu was puzzled.

“The super training camp is a special training activity prepared by the HQ for true geniuses and prodigies!

“The training camp is equipped with the best training environment, the best instructors, and the best training resources!”

There was a look of yearning on Luo Jia’s face. “The super training camp is pretty much a training opportunity that all Arcanists dream of. Any Arcanist who comes out of the training camp will see a tremendous change in their capabilities and a jump of at least two levels!”

“Two levels?”

Ling Jiu was shocked. He was already a Level 4 Arcanist now; if he went up by two levels, would he not be a Level 6 Arcanist, then?

A Level 6 Arcanist!

That was already an advanced-level Arcanist!

Ling Jiu was tempted. “Ms. Luo, can I really participate in that super training camp?”

“Of course, as long as your awakening has not exceeded two years and you are not weaker than Level 4. You also mustn’t be more than 20 years old, then you can participate in the super training camp!”

Luo Jia smiled. “You fully meet the requirements to join the training camp, so I believe that as long as I report it upwards, you should be able to enter without incident!”

“In that case, thank you, Ms. Luo!” Ling Jiu said sincerely.

“Still with the pleasantries!”

Luo Jia laughed and said, “You are one of Lantian Base City’s personnel! If you really make it into the super training camp, you will be the pride of Lantian Base City, which will also be a part of my personal work credit. I will naturally do my best to help you get into the super training camp!”

“Thank you, Ms. Luo!”
