The Mercenary Guild would also send people to tally their haul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, all those people could do was stand aside. At the very front was a group of burly, broad-shouldered men. They wore matching Combat Suits and carried an air of grim lethality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through Lin Xinghai’s Perception, he could tell that any single one of these men was at least as strong as Roger. The leader, in particular, had a presence that seemed to faintly overshadow even Fang Tianhe’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sweeping his gaze over them, Lin Xinghai came to a conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’These are soldiers.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Here in the Shelter, only the military could muster a squad like this.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their captain was sizing them up as well. His gaze eventually landed on Fang Tianhe, and he held out a document.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Tianhe took the document. After confirming the man’s identity, he led him and his soldiers onto one of the Armored Vehicles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the Energy Crystal Stones had already been moved into the Armored Vehicles. Conducting the transaction inside would keep it discreet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Roger and the soldiers emerged, with smiles on everyone’s faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the soldiers left, Xu Haishui was the first to rush over. \"Captain, how did the deal go? Did they try to haggle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy Crystal Stones were precious, but an oversupply of anything would drive the price down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They didn’t. In fact, they bought them from us at a premium,\" Fang Tianhe said, his smile growing even wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone’s face lit up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much of a premium?\" Xu Haishui immediately pressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They gave us an extra 50,000 Points, for a total of 280,000. It’s already been deposited,\" Fang Tianhe said, not keeping them in suspense any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Haishui’s jaw dropped. The others looked just as astonished. Even the perpetually cold Shen Han showed a flicker of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>50,000 Points was no small sum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After we completed the transaction, a high-ranking officer sent me a message telling us to be careful for a while. These 50,000 Points are probably meant as compensation,\" Fang Tianhe explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The regular Mercenaries might have been confused by this warning, but people like Roger were already mentally prepared for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, compared to everyone else, Lin Xinghai was more focused on the message itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The fact that they sent such a warning clearly proves that the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps has truly gotten on the radar of the higher-ups. We’ve even earned a measure of their goodwill.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Tsk! The Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps’ prospects are even better than I imagined!’ Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the soldiers departed, it was time for the people from Public Security and the Mercenary Guild to step forward and tally the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps’ haul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, some Shelter residents who had been strolling through the Mercenary Plaza began to gather around out of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, a Mercenary Corps’ return and the public tallying of its spoils in the Mercenary Plaza was also a show of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far from being kept secret, the information from the tally was broadcast directly on the Mercenary Plaza’s large screen for all to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was done to show the Shelter’s residents how lucrative the mercenary profession could be, thereby encouraging more people to join the industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also served as a silent motivator for the Mercenary Corps, as returning with too small a haul would be rather embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first items to be tallied were the Elemental Crystals. 435 of them was no small number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When this information appeared on the Mercenary Plaza’s large screen, a buzz of discussion immediately went through the crowd of onlookers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s so many Elemental Crystals! A lot of Second Level Mercenary Corps don’t even get that many from a single expedition!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Definitely not. Didn’t another Second Level Mercenary Corps just get back? Their Elemental Crystal haul was less than 200.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you all just focused on the quantity? Did none of you notice that out of those 400-plus Elemental Crystals, over 100 of them are Intermediate Elemental Crystals?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That... The amount of Points they can exchange for must be over eight thousand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. Eight thousand? Please, that’ll definitely break ten thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd of onlookers chattered among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t over. When the screen updated to show that their haul also included a Mutated Zombie, the buzz of discussion instantly turned into an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An uproar like this would only attract more spectators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roger watched the scene unfold, a smile spreading across his face. ’This is what it means to get both fame and fortune!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Mutated Zombies weren’t so easy to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take the Armored Corpse, for example. If Fang Tianhe’s Superpower hadn’t happened to be a perfect counter to it, forget two Mechas—even with three, they might not have been able to take it down. They could have even suffered casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other Mutated Zombies also had their own special abilities. As a result, usually only one or two Mercenary Corps would be fortunate enough to kill a Mutated Zombie in any given week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps had really made a name for itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A lot of the equipment in the Spacecraft Research Institute was still in good condition. It’s a shame we ran into that Blood Demon. If we’d brought back some gadgets to sell here in the plaza, our reputation would probably keep growing for a while,\" Xu Haishui couldn’t help but remark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a Mercenary Corps, a reputation was something that could be both dispensable and critically important, depending on the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, now that the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps was about to expand and needed to recruit new blood, a higher reputation meant a greater chance of attracting talented individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as everyone was dreaming about the Mercenary Corps’ bright future...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...no one noticed a thug in the crowd push his way forward, shoot a glance at Lin Xinghai, and then hurriedly depart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lin Xinghai had happened to glance in that direction, he would have recognized Wang Damao, the one who had come to his dorm yesterday to collect protection money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little over ten minutes later, a panting Wang Damao ran back to a hidden corner near Lin Xinghai’s dormitory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps is back,\" Wang Damao reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that Lin Xinghai! Is he dead or not?\" Huai Feifu demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" Wang Damao shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, a look of disappointment crossed Huai Feifu’s face. \"He’s that weak and he still didn’t die? The bastard’s got some damn good luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, with you on the case, no matter how lucky he is, today will be the day he dies,\" Wang Damao immediately flattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile touched Huai Feifu’s lips; he clearly enjoyed the flattery. \"But we can’t be careless. We still need to make the proper preparations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he opened his wrist-comp, typed out a message, and sent it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of this author, Crystal, who is writing these Chapters while sick, please give me your recommendation votes, my dear readers!\u003C\u002Fp>",1201,"2026-06-05T22:50:52.395Z",1,"novelbin.me","239f6d7014ab44538d3225509cd03ff6f92d25331b596bac020e08cdeaf2a2c6","invincible-through-touching-corpses-chapter-47","invincible-through-touching-corpses-chapter-45",310,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finvincible-through-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
