Chapter 52: Sky‑High Price Phoenix Blood

The mission and the Dungeon have both ended.

Just in time, the game time is also about to arrive.

Su Sheng and the others simply packed up and logged off.

Before logging out, Su Sheng and Lin Huan went to the storage to stash equipment they wouldn't need for now.

On the way, Lin Huan remained silent, furrowing their brow in thought, clearly pondering the handling of the Divine Phoenix essence blood.

…

…

Taking off the gaming headset, Su Sheng rose from the bed and stretched his body.

Beep—

At that moment, the phone chimed with a message.

Su Sheng picked up the phone and glanced at it—Chen Guan…

"Brother Sheng, are you there?"

"I'm here."

"Since you've come back, you didn't give me a friend slot?"

"I blocked friend notifications; I'll add you later," Su Sheng smiled. He hadn't added the person the last time they met.

"Quite a few people placed orders for you with us."

"I guessed as much."

Su Sheng recalled the assassin who had been tailing him before.

"However, our Assassin Alliance is hostile to Qiancheng Muxue, and you, Brother Sheng, are at odds with Qiancheng Muxue, so I told the people below not to take this order."

"But I wonder if any peripheral members might take the order privately."

Looking at the message, Su Sheng gave a nonchalant smile, "Don't worry, it's fine."

"You're right, why was I worrying? Few assassins can evade your keen eye."

Then, they made idle small talk with Chen Guan and ended that conversation.

…

Stepping out of the living room, Su Sheng froze for a moment.

Dad, Mom, Huan Jie, and a beautiful woman were sitting quietly in the living room.

Su Sheng recognized that beautiful woman as Huang Mingxin.

Su Sheng then composed himself, roughly understanding the situation.

"Ah Sheng, come here."

Huan Jie waved Su Sheng over.

"Mm," Su Sheng nodded, walked over and sat beside his father.

"This time, it's mainly to discuss the game item and how to handle the Divine Phoenix essence blood."

Lin Huan, seeing everyone gathered, spoke up.

Su Sheng was not surprised; he had already guessed.

"Lin Lin, isn't that just a game item? Is it really that valuable?"

At this moment, Mom Huang Hui said uncertainly.

Earlier, since they needed the parents to discuss, Lin Huan pulled Mom, who was making breakfast, into the room.

At first Mom didn't mind, but after Lin Huan roughly explained the item's value to the parents, the elderly couple became serious.

"Indeed."

Lin Huan gave a wry smile toward Su Sheng, "Ah Sheng, this move has earned me years of hard work."

Su Sheng scratched his head, looked at Mom and said with a smile, "The mission wasn't even conjured up by Mom's chatter, so the impressive one is still Mom."

"Anyway, the five participants this time are all here," Lin Huan nodded. "Next, we'll just discuss the usage…"

"Um... Huan Jie..."

At that moment, Huang Mingxin spoke weakly.

"Hm?" Lin Huan looked at Huang Mingxin.

"Maybe I shouldn't participate then; I was almost just a tag‑along and didn't contribute anything."

"The mission was taken by Auntie, and the final BOSS was soloed by Ah Sheng; I'm already satisfied just earning this much experience," Huang Mingxin said weakly.

That thing is way too expensive.

Huang Mingxin felt she had only been a tag‑along and shouldn't share the loot.

"You can't say it like that; after all, everyone contributed in the Dungeon," Lin Huan frowned.

"Right, Sister Mingxin, don't decline. If it weren't for that last sip of milk from you, I probably would have died just like the rest of you."

"I used all my tactics, and by the time the BOSS's skill ended, I only had a little over a hundred HP left."

"So that final sip of milk was crucial," Su Sheng didn't hide Huang Mingxin's vital contribution, stating it plainly.

Su Sheng's upbringing and military experience destined him to be a relatively upright person.

What belongs to her is hers.

Of course, uprightness doesn't mean Su Sheng doesn't understand human affairs or flexibility.

"Right, Mingxin, just relax and follow Lin Lin's arrangements," Huang Hui soothed from the side.

"... Alright then."

Huang Mingxin nodded softly.

"Because this operation is Mom's mission, it doesn't count as internal to Huakai Studio; it's merely the gain of the five of us."

It's not that Lin Huan didn't want to leave this to Huakai; it's just that the value is too high, and besides, this wasn't something Huakai earned herself.

Lin Huan had no argument, so he just used it directly on Huakai.

"My suggestion is to contact a big guild and sell it."

"Then we just split the money."

"The task was Mom's, so Mom gets thirty percent."

"The main contribution is undoubtedly A Sheng's, so A Sheng gets forty percent."

"The remaining thirty percent will be split evenly between me, Dad, and Mingxin."

"What do you think—does this distribution work for you?"

Lin Huan looked at everyone and said.

"I have no objections." Huang Mingxin was the first to agree; she already felt she was getting a good deal, and this split works well.

"I have no objections either."

Su's mom Huang Hui also nodded.

Su Ba Su Wenhao was about to say something when he felt a sinister gaze from beside him.

Gloop~

Su Wenhao swallowed and said: "I have no objections either, but my share, Huanhuan, you should give it directly to your mom—she handles the household accounts."

Huang Hui gave Su Wenhao a look that said, "You're smart," and said: "Huanhuan and A Sheng's shares—just keep them yourselves, young people; you ought to have some cash on hand."

Both kids are very steady, and Huang Hui also believes they won't waste the money.

Besides, this is essentially a windfall.

With no objections, it was settled like that.

Huang Mingxin was also warmly invited by her mom Huang Hui to stay for breakfast at home.

Su Sheng finished breakfast and then went to work.

As for selling the Divine Phoenix's essence blood, naturally Lin Huan would handle contacting people.

Su Sheng guessed that Lin Huan would probably also go to Huan Yu.

After all, Huan Yu has been Huakai's partner for years, and besides, it's the top guild in Huaxia.

But Su Sheng hadn't gotten off work yet when he suddenly received a bank transfer notification.

2400000

That's so long… a string of zeros.

Right after that, Huan Jie's phone rang.

"Huan Jie."

"A Sheng, did you get the transfer?"

"You sold it already? That fast? And isn't this not game time right now?"

"I sold it to… our own people, so the price is a bit lower."

"Six million—isn't that low enough?"

Su Sheng was also a bit surprised—Huan Yu Guild is so generous, they wired the money without even completing the trade?

"With the prospects of Chasing Deer, the base price for this could sell for seven million—that's the friend's discount." Lin Huan explained with a smile.

"It's mainly because of your contribution, A Sheng—you gave the early Hidden Class a strong advertisement." One could tell Lin Huan was in a good mood.

Su Sheng clicked his tongue, feeling that he had given up an honorary nickname, and Teng Long Company had compensated him with six to seven million.

The Lion Knight's job‑change token is also a red Hidden Class item.
