Chapter 146: New Profit-Sharing Ratio

Jiang Cheng cannot read minds, and does not know what Ye Ying is thinking at this moment.

He pushed aside the sniper's corpse and picked up that Heavy Sniper Rifle.

The moment he took it in hand, he felt the heavy weight.

At least twenty jin!

The all‑black barrel exuded sheer dominance.

"This is an M95 large‑caliber sniper rifle."

Ye Ying said, "It can destroy light‑protected targets 1–2 km away, including light armored vehicles; within one kilometer it can even kill a Fifth-level Force Warrior. Since you shot him, this gun is naturally yours, along with those rifles. You can sell them back to the guild, or keep them for yourself."

"It feels a bit off."

Jiang Cheng replied.

"What's off?"

"I think killing those people was the result of our cooperation, so you deserve a share of these guns. How about a fifty‑fifty split?"

Jiang Cheng looked at her.

Even though he also really wanted that Heavy Sniper Rifle.

But if it weren't for Ye Ying pushing him aside at the critical moment, he would already be a corpse now.

This gun is powerful, but inconvenient to carry.

The Handgun on his person can temporarily make do.

Ye Ying was stunned.

After a long pause, she stammered, "A‑are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious."

Jiang Cheng looked at her oddly.

"You don't blame me?"

Ye Ying's face was slightly flushed, but a mask covered it, so Jiang Cheng couldn't see.

"This time I took the big loot, yet I almost caused your death. If it weren't for your Gunmanship, I honestly wasn't sure I could have left with you alive."

Jiang Cheng let out a helpless laugh.

The two only cooperated; they hadn't signed a pact of life‑and‑death.

Ye Ying had her bag, didn't abandon him and walk away, which was already pretty good, let alone she kept fully cooperating afterward.

"Alright, it's settled. When we return to headquarters and sell these, we split the money fifty‑fifty. This gun is worth two hundred thousand; even second‑hand, the headquarters' buy‑back price should be over a hundred thousand, right? It looks pretty new to me."

Jiang Cheng examined the sniper rifle in his hands again.

He checked for any damage, scratches, and the like.

Ye Ying was stunned on the spot.

"Um, Cang Hai."

"Hmm?"

Jiang Cheng turned his head toward her, "What's up?"

"This time, it's also my mistake."

Ye Ying, cheeks reddening, said, "If I had been more careful, I might have spotted them earlier and wouldn't have forced you into a dead end. I made a mistake on this mission, so how about an 80‑20 split? No, 73‑27. I can't give more; I already gave my all."

Saying this, Ye Ying's stomach ached.

Originally the loot in the bag could have fetched nine hundred thousand.

Now she could only take seven hundred thousand.

But thinking that Jiang Cheng was willing to voluntarily give up half of the firearm share, she couldn't get past a hurdle in her heart.

Because Jiang Cheng truly almost died; if not for the last moment, he would have turned the tide with his Handgun Gunmanship, and she might not have left.

So giving an extra twenty percent felt justified.

But any more, she would be reluctant to give.

Jiang Cheng heard this and could not believe such good fortune.

Did he mishear? Or did she really say that? "You don't happen to want more, do you?" Ye Ying's voice grew cold.

"No, no."

Jiang Cheng waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's just that, are you sure you want to give me an extra twenty percent? Frankly, if you really want to give, I won't refuse."

If he took an extra twenty percent, even without the firearm split, the cash in hand would be three hundred thousand.

Three hundred thousand is already enough for Entry into the Visualization Method; the remaining money might even buy pills, open the next three Acupoints, and raise his strength to Second Level.

Of course, that's the ideal case, but Entry into the Visualization Method will definitely be no problem.

"Don't worry, I won't renege on my words."

Ye Ying snorted coldly.

If Jiang Cheng dared to ask for another ten percent, she would warn him with a Steel Needle.

Jiang Cheng hurriedly thanked her, ecstatic.

Indeed, great misfortune that spares you brings later blessings; without those shooters, he wouldn't have gotten this two hundred thousand.

"As for the firearms."

Ye Ying looked at the sniper rifle in Jiang Cheng's hand.

"If you sell this gun to the guild, it's not very profitable. Your Gunmanship is so good; having it will make future hunts of Exotic Beasts like adding wings to a tiger. As for the other rifles, just give them to me."

"Hunting Exotic Beasts?"

Jiang Cheng heard this and a puzzled look appeared in his eyes.

Ye Ying also wasn't surprised, and explained:

"On this planet, it's not only us Yan Nation people and Jiao Tribe people; there are also all kinds of Exotic Beasts. Otherwise, where do you think those Secret Medicine come from?"

"So, they're outside the city?"

"More or less, some are in deeper places—those are the Force Masters, who also don't dare to step in lightly. Fortunately for us, we generally don't need to go to such dangerous places; in the wilderness we can encounter some Exotic Beasts, especially at night."

Ye Ying looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "Your current strength is still a bit low; when you become a Level 3 Original Force Warrior, you can team up with others to hunt Exotic Beasts, hmm, not necessarily."

She paused, "With your Gunmanship, you should reach Level Two, and someone will invite you. But I advise you to aim for Level Three; some Exotic Beasts are extremely powerful—your gun might not even pierce their defense. Moreover, the wilderness danger doesn't come solely from Exotic Beasts."

"Not only from Exotic Beasts?"

Jiang Cheng asked further.

"There are also other people, or the Rebel Army. Not everyone lives in the city; many live in the wilderness. They despise the Jiao Tribe and also regard us as enemies. If you accidentally meet them in the wild, a life‑or‑death battle is inevitable."

Jiang Cheng's expression changed slightly.

There's actually such a thing? "Alright, it's getting late; we should head back."

Ye Ying didn't continue the topic.

"When I came in earlier, I saw a car parked in the garage; later we can drive that car out."

"Just drive it out like that?"

"Otherwise what?"

"Fine, but let me drive."

"You can still drive?" Ye Ying was even more surprised.

"I know a little."

He put the gun and bag into the car, Jiang Cheng sat in the driver's seat, and to avoid the guard at the door noticing anything, he fetched a hat and a mask from the room and covered his face tightly.

Ye Ying dressed the same way, sat in the back seat, and covered her shoulders with her clothing.

At the residential complex exit, after scanning the license plate, the barrier opened automatically, and the guard even smiled friendly at Jiang Cheng.

The car slowly drove out of the complex.

Jiang Cheng's heart completely settled.

The first mission was completed successfully.
