Chapter 18 - Become a Warrior!

Chapter 18

Become a Warrior!

The only troublesome part is that I will have to make several trips daily to sell the materials…

“This won’t work. I’ll need to accumulate them for a while and sell them all at once. Otherwise, frequent trips in and out will eventually draw attention!”

Having learned his lesson from Zhang Hengxing’s incident, Su Xiaobai was more mindful of staying low-key this time.

But on second thought, selling such a massive amount of monster materials in one go wouldn’t be low-key at all!

You can’t just carry an enormous bundle and parade through the streets, right?

Wouldn’t that be like openly declaring that something suspicious is going on?

“Um… Sir, do you have any reliable channels for selling monster materials?”

Su Xiaobai asked tentatively.

“Of course. If you’re selling in large quantities, you can consider contacting the ‘Monster Treasure Pavilion’!”

“Monster Treasure Pavilion specializes in purchasing all kinds of monster materials. They don’t care about the source of your materials. As long as you’re selling, they’ll buy. However, the price will definitely be lower than here!”

“If you’re willing, after setting a time and place, the people from Monster Treasure Pavilion can collect the materials from you regularly at your convenience.”

The appraiser casually handed Su Xiaobai a business card. Clearly, this wasn’t the first time he’d encountered such inquiries.

He was happy to play the role of an intermediary.

“They don’t ask about the source and even offer door-to-door pickup?”

“This is great!”

Su Xiaobai was overjoyed.

After expressing his gratitude, he quickly returned home and dialed the number on the card.

“Are you looking to sell monster materials?”

A calm voice answered on the other end of the line.

“Yes!”

Su Xiaobai responded.

“How much can you provide each month?” The other party asked nonchalantly.

“Um… I’m not entirely sure, but it’ll be a lot!”

Su Xiaobai replied cautiously.

“What about the grade of the materials?”

“D-grade!”

“All right, just to be clear, Monster Treasure Pavilion doesn’t concern itself with your materials’ origin. However, the price will be 70% of the market rate. If you’re fine with that, give me your address and the pickup schedule.”

“No problem!”

Seventy percent was acceptable. As long as it didn’t draw unwanted attention, this minor loss was a fair trade—besides, he didn’t have to fight tooth and nail for the materials himself!

Su Xiaobai quickly provided the address and timing.

“Once a week for collection?”

The other party chuckled lightly. “You must have a very diligent team! All right, I’ve recorded the details. Someone will visit you tomorrow.”

…

The next day, sure enough, someone arrived.

A truck pulled up in front of Su Xiaobai’s villa. The man who knocked on the door wore a baseball cap and a blue uniform, with several companions standing behind him.

“People from Monster Treasure Pavilion?”

Nearby, Zhang Hengde, who had been monitoring the area, furrowed his brows in confusion upon seeing them.

There were only a handful of organizations that privately purchased monster materials in bulk.

As a high-ranking member of the Zhang family, he naturally knew about them.

“This kid hasn’t even left the base. How could he have ties to Monster Treasure Pavilion?”

Zhang Hengde was baffled.

“This way, please!”

Meanwhile, Su Xiaobai welcomed the group from Monster Treasure Pavilion into his home.

“They’re all quasi-warriors!”

Su Xiaobai could sense their aura fluctuations.

Leading them to the basement, Su Xiaobai pointed at the heap of monster materials on the floor. “These are all for sale!”

After a day of auto-hunting, his shadows had brought back an impressive haul of monster materials—enough to almost fill the entire room!

Such a quantity would have drawn immense attention at the martial hall. But for the professionals from Monster Treasure Pavilion, it was nothing. After all, they’d handled collections as grand as 20-meter-high piles that looked like mountains!

Without hesitation, they took out specialized bags and began packing. While packing, they tallied the materials’ quantity, grade, and price, with a dedicated accountant calculating the totals.

“Hmm? They’re bringing out bags? Could those be monster materials?”

“But wait… he hasn’t even left the base. Where did he get so many monster materials? And such a large quantity!”

Zhang Hengde was riddled with questions.

A moment later.

“The total comes to 214,362 spiritual coins!”

“Here’s the invoice. Please verify it. If there are no issues, sign and confirm the transfer.”

This price was within Su Xiaobai’s expectations, so he had no objections and finalized the deal on the spot.

“Getting paid while lying down feels amazing!”

With money in hand, Su Xiaobai went on a spree with Su Ling’er, buying luxurious furniture he never dared to consider before, dining at high-end restaurants he previously avoided, and shopping at branded stores where the prices once scared him away. He was the picture of a nouveau riche!

Su Ling’er, unaware of where Su Xiaobai’s newfound wealth came from, initially wanted to refuse. But faced with Su Xiaobai’s insistence and his declaration, “How can I skimp when buying things for my wife?” she couldn’t help but feel sweetly moved.

“Heh, so what if he’s a genius?”

“Even poor people behave the same way once they get rich.”

Following behind to protect him, Zhang Hengde scoffed.

Time flew by, and three days passed.

Boom!

While soaking in the bathtub, Su Xiaobai suddenly felt a surge of energy far beyond a quasi-warrior’s emanating from within his body!

“Warrior!”

Su Xiaobai opened his eyes abruptly, and spiritual energy flickered within his gaze.

In that instant, he broke through the barrier of an advanced quasi-warrior and ascended into the ranks of warriors!

His entire body was enveloped in a torrent of powerful energy, far greater than before. Simultaneously, his physique underwent dramatic changes.

His muscles became more robust—capable of withstanding blades and bullets without activating his Diamond Body. His bones creaked and crackled, and his tendons grew more flexible.

Even his senses became sharper. The world before him seemed to shift from “480p” resolution to “720p,” allowing him to notice even the smallest details.

“So this is what being a warrior feels like…”

Clenching his fist, Su Xiaobai marveled at his newfound strength.

Checking his current stats, he saw:

Name: Su Xiaobai

Realm Level: Beginner Warrior

Strength Level: Intermediate Warrior

“My strength, endurance, and agility… they’ve all advanced to intermediate level!”

Su Xiaobai was ecstatic.
