Chapter 44: Five Hundred!

Boss Wang's delivery efficiency is extremely high.

A truckload of Kun Kun was delivered to the slaughterhouse in the latter half of the phone call.

Su Ming transformed into Chicken See Worry, hand rose, knife fell, the motion completed in one smooth flow.

Cluck——!

Hoo——!

At 4:30 p. m., Su Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Task completed!

The hatching progress of the Abyssal Demon Dragon Egg finally reached 【85%】!

The growth progress of the Soul Dagger likewise rose to 【720/1000】!

The future looks promising!

Afterward, he glanced at the outside sky……

"Time's about up, let's go out!"

5:30 p. m.

Jiangcheng, West District, the basement of an old residential complex.

Su Ming dialed Zhao Gang's phone.

"Zhao Shu, I'm here!"

"I'll come down right away to meet you!"

Soon, the two met downstairs.

Zhao Gang's face was weary, but his eyes showed a hint of resilience.

"Let's go!"

The stairwell was dim, filled with an old musty smell.

Third floor, 301.

The two entered the house.

The inside was empty, with no extra furniture, yet spotlessly clean.

"Boss Su, would you like some water?"

"No thanks."

Su Ming shook his head, his gaze scanning.

Several childish drawings were pasted on the wall, colorful.

They were likely Zhao Gang's daughter's work.

Su Ming's heart sank a little, feeling moved by the scene.

"Zhao Shu, is it just you at home now…?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gang's eyes grew a bit dimmer.

"Yeah… my spouse and daughter are still in the hospital."

He pointed to a closed room, with a cute cartoon sign hanging on the door.

"We usually stay at the hospital with them; today we came back just to sell those two things to get some money."

He took out two items from the drawer.

Su Ming remained expressionless, the Eye of Truth activated!

【Name: Glowing Light Bulb】

【Quality: Common】

【Function: Illumination.】

……

【Name: Rusty Iron Axe】

【Quality: Common】

【Function: Chopping.】

"Heh."

Su Ming smirked inwardly.

These two items, aside from feeding the Crimson Throne, have no other use.

If it were anyone else, they might even doubt whether these things are actually products of the altar!

All that can be said is…

Even among White Quality Items, there are differences.

He recalled the 【666】 Altar from back then.

That guy and that plane were both incredibly strong!

So even if that Fatty sacrificed white light, they were still practical items like power fruits!

"Boss Su, these two… do you want them?"

The hope in Zhao Gang's eyes made him tense up all over.

"Zhao Shu, how much do you want to sell them for?"

Su Ming replied in turn.

Hearing this, Zhao Gang's lips hesitated.

"I… I also don't know how much these two things are worth…"

"They really aren't anything good, but… they truly are products of the altar, I'm not lying to you!"

"How about… two… five hundred?"

After saying that number, Zhao Gang tensed up completely.

Afraid Su Ming would think it too expensive, he immediately turned around and left.

Two five hundred?!

Su Ming's heart stirred, and he began to calculate.

Nowadays, as long as the altar doesn't produce the Black Light Calamity, the minimum guarantee is White Items.

If any ordinary person exchanged at this price, casually taking some unwanted stuff to sacrifice, they'd make nearly a thousand a day!

This price… is too high!

It's even somewhat exaggerated!

But changing the perspective…

A few hundred bucks, and you can exchange for a bottle of Source Blood…

Those people would definitely fight tooth and nail for it!

Su Ming turned his gaze back to Zhao Gang, without giving a direct answer.

"Zhao Shu, do you… know many people?"

Zhao Gang blinked, obviously not expecting Su Ming to ask that, his expression a little awkward.

In the end, he resigned himself, giving a wry smile and shaking his head.

"My former work colleagues, basically we've lost touch."

He works in the financial sector.

Those so-called friends are all profit-driven!

After such a huge change at home, each of them fears asking him for money, dodging him as fast as they can.

How could they stay in contact?!

"Now, aside from a group of fellow patients… sharing the same suffering, I haven't been in touch with anyone."

Upon hearing this, Su Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.

Fellow patients equally at a dead end…

He seemed to have seen an opportunity in the Garbage Recycling Network plan!

After a moment's thought, Su Ming took out a piece of Altar Fragment from his pants pocket.

"Zhao Shu, do you know what this is?"

The moment Zhao Gang saw it, his pupils constricted and his body trembled.

"This… this… I know it!"

He swallowed.

"I saw it on the forum!"

"During last night's Blood Moon, as long as you kill the monsters, the altar will burst out this thing!"

"The Official… the Official has already set the price, two hundred thousand each!!"

His gaze toward Su Ming had already shifted from earlier gratitude to… admiration, shock!

Desirable but unattainable!

He even considered it today.

If tonight there's still that Blood Moon…

He would risk everything for his daughter!

"Boss Su… you…"

He wanted to ask Su Ming what exactly he had experienced last night, whether there were any tricks…

But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them again.

This is someone else's secret.

He had no right to pry.

"Huh!"

Zhao Gang took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions.

"Boss Su, you… you want me to help you sell it?!"

Although they haven't interacted much, he could tell Boss Su's nature.

Young, yet not hot-headed!

Definitely not the type who likes to show off!

Now, producing this fragment in front of him must have a deeper meaning!

Zhao Gang gritted his teeth and decided to volunteer himself.

"Boss Su, I can help you sell it!"

"I saw on the forum that someone has already posted high-price purchase information! Higher than the Official's!"

"I… I'm willing to run errands for you! I don't want money!"

"As long as… as long as you can later buy our unwanted items… I'm willing to work for you!"

Saying this, a glimmer of hope rose in his eyes.

He knew very well in his heart.

Boss Su's actions are definitely not simple!

And now…

The opportunity lies right before him.

He must grab this lifeline!

Su Ming patted Zhao Gang's shoulder.

"Zhao Shu, I have a proposal; are you willing to listen?"

Zhao Gang hurriedly nodded.

"This Altar Fragment, I give to you; you take it to sell."

"I don't care how much you can sell it for or where you sell it; I only want twenty thousand of it!"

"The rest... is all yours."

Zhao Gang jerked his head up, thinking he had misheard.

But soon his expression shifted, from ecstatic to puzzled.

In the sky...

There's never been a case of a pie falling.

As expected.

Su Ming spoke again!

"The money you get in exchange, you don't have to give it to me directly..."

"I want... you to help me with another task!"

Zhao Gang, hearing this, swallowed.

"Boss Su, you say!"

"As long as it's not burning, killing, looting, or any act that harms heaven or humanity, I can arrange it for you!"

"Do it as best as possible!"

Su Ming nodded.

"I want you... to go to those fellow patients of yours, and collect some items for me!"

"I don't care how many you collect!"

"And on my side, as long as it's the White Quality Items you sell to me..."

He shook his head and laughed.

"It's not two five-hundreds!"

"For each one, I count it as five hundred!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gang's pupils suddenly contracted!
