Meanwhile, Su Ze was still pulling out high-tier Evolution Items, one after another.
Although most of what Su Ze produced were evolutionary materialsâwhich werenât as expensive per unit as high-tier extracts or special artifactsâtheir sheer quantity more than made up for it.
The people who had died at the hands of Bai Guishou had spent a fortune at the Oasis Commerce Association, purchasing a vast amount of high-grade materials.
Finally, by the time Su Ze stopped pulling out Evolution Items, Xu Shengâs little notebook was already filled with four pages of notes.
He took out a calculator, added up the estimated values of all the items, and arrived at a grand total.
4.48 million points!
"Mr. Su, youâre my god!" Xu Sheng couldnât help but exclaim. The way he looked at Su Ze was with more warmth and respect than heâd show his own father.
If this deal went through, he would take another huge step toward a promotion!
Just one or two more deals like this, and a promotion would be guaranteed!
And he was confident that as long as he maintained a good working relationship with Su Ze, that day wouldnât be far off.
"Mr. Su," Xu Sheng said, suppressing his excitement, "is there anything youâre not satisfied with on this estimate?"
Su Ze had a rough idea of the itemsâ value and knew that Xu Shengâs estimate was actually slightly higher than their normal acquisition price. It was already a very generous appraisal, so of course, he had no complaints.
However, this was just Xu Shengâs estimate. For a transaction of this magnitude, the final price still needed to be reviewed and approved by the Evolution Technology Headquarters.
Right in front of Su Ze, Xu Sheng called the Evolution Technology Headquarters, reported the transaction, and sent his estimate up the chain.
Su Ze could hear the person on the other end of the line expressing some dissatisfaction with Xu Shengâs estimate, but Xu Sheng argued his case forcefully, refusing to back down and even starting to bicker with them.
In the end, the price of 4.48 million points was approved, not a single point less.
Xu Sheng gathered up all the Evolution Items, and the Evolution Technology Headquarters transferred the funds on the spot. The 4.48 million points quickly appeared in Su Zeâs account.
After this transaction, Su Ze was upgraded to "Diamond Member" status with Evolutionary Technology, granting him the privilege of a 15% discount on all purchases.
"A pleasure doing business with you." Su Ze shook hands with Xu Sheng and turned to leave.
When Su Ze returned to the villa, Mr. Ya was already back as well.
He had "contributed" a large number of low-tier Evolution Items to the Dongli Kingdom in exchange for a massive amount of contribution points.
"How much did you get?" Su Ze asked, getting straight to the point.
Mr. Ya grinned and stated a number. "Seventy!"
"Seven hundred thousand contribution points?" Su Zeâs face lit up with pleasant surprise.
In reality, the low-tier Evolution Items they had obtained were far more numerous, but because their individual value was low, and the official price offered by the Dongli Kingdom was also low, it only amounted to 700,000 contribution points.
If those Evolution Items had been sold to Evolutionary Technology, they would have fetched at least over ten billion Linbi.
Selling them to the Dongli Kingdom, they got about half that.
However, Su Ze was actually very satisfied with this amount, because Linbi couldnât be used to purchase high-tier Evolution Items, but contribution points could.
In total, the two of them made 4.48 million Evolutionary Technology Points and 700,000 Dongli Kingdom contribution points from selling off their loot.
All together, it was worth over fifty billion!
If you also counted the value of the Tiger King Generalâs storage item, plus the two Tier-3 special artifacts and some evolutionary medicine that Su Ze and Mr. Ya kept for themselves, their haul from the Tiger King General alone exceeded seventy billion!
And that wasnât even counting what theyâd managed to get for free from the Miracle Oasis.
Moreover, Su Ze still had three drops of water from the Miracle Spring, which were worth hundreds of billions.
This whole trip was like theyâd just gone out and found money lying on the street.
Next came the part where they divided the profits.
The contribution points couldnât be traded, so they split them evenly, 350,000 each.
As for the 4.48 million Evolutionary Technology Points, Mr. Ya refused to take a large share because he had already taken the storage item worth ten billion, as well as a good deal of high-grade evolutionary medicine. He only took 1.48 million.
Su Ze got a whopping 3 million points all to himself!
Rich! Time to take off!
Su Ze was in a fantastic mood. He had spent nearly all his points on his last shopping trip, but then heâd run into the Tiger King General, who was like a personal ATM, making him rich in one go.
He logged into the Evolutionary Technology official website and the Dongli Kingdomâs internal network respectively to check his balances.
Evolutionary Technology Points: 3.2 million.
Dongli Kingdom Contribution Points: 570,000.
His net worth had reached a new high. Factoring in all the various treasures he possessed, he was now worth hundreds of billions.
With the loot divided and their pockets full, the next step was to spend money to increase their strength.
Su Ze returned to his room and first took out a strangely shaped fruit. This was the Sound-Gathering Fruit he had picked up at the Miracle Oasis, which could enhance his hearing.
Su Ze had already asked Ju Han about it. Unlike the Rootless Dodder Seed, there werenât a lot of specific instructions for consuming the Sound-Gathering Fruit; you could just eat it directly.
He devoured the Sound-Gathering Fruit in a few bites. It tasted pretty good.
Then he waited quietly for the fruit to upgrade and modify his ears.
Half an hour later, he heard Mrs. Yun downstairs, muttering to herself as she danced, âDid those two boys go out and rob the Oasis Commerce Association?
âI need to step up my game. That little brat Su Ze is evolving way too fast. Now that he has so many resources, he might undergo his third evolution any day now.
âIf I havenât evolved to the Saint level by then, Iâll be on the same level as him. The key thing is, if weâre both at the Butterfly Stage... Iâm really not sure I could beat him.â
The thought of Su Zeâs smug face if he actually managed to beat her made Mrs. Yun put a little more force into every one of her movements.
Su Ze couldnât help but chuckle. It seemed he had really put the pressure on Mrs. Yun.
His hearing continued to expand. He heard the rustling of leaves on the roadside trees, the chirping of insects in the bushes hundreds of meters away, and from the villa next door, the heavy panting of warriors charging into battle and the long neighs of their warhorses. He could even clearly make out the sound of a spear dragging through a muddy path.
A little over two hours later, the enhancement of his hearing was complete.
Just like with his sense of smell, Su Ze could freely control the range of his hearing.
At this point, his senses of smell, hearing, and sight had all been enhanced.
"Next up, time to absorb the Evolutionary Liquid!"
