Chapter 272: Chapter 207: Everyone Gets RichMany abilities could achieve the effect of concealment, such as Shadow Escape, Refraction, Silent Illusion, etc., each with its advantages but also possessing some drawbacks. The truly perfect concealment ability, however, was only "Invisibility." It was a type of complete visual transparency. Invisibility was not affected by environment, did not rely on shadows, and even the sound and smell would be subdued, with magnetic fields and energy fluctuations being reduced to the extreme. Ji Xinghuo knew this deeply. Ever since he possessed the Wanxiang Star Pupil, he had hardly encountered an invisible enemy he couldn’t see through, until that time he was ambushed by the "Ghost Wolf." Even the Wanxiang Star Pupil had difficulty penetrating invisibility; the magnetic field changed as well. It required great concentration to detect it. Thus, "Invisibility" was a Transcendent Species ability, the most coveted skill of all assassin-type mutants, truly enabling them to appear and disappear unpredictably, always ensuring the upper hand. Jing Ji was a Phantom Assassin, and if he could fuse with invisibility, his power would instantly jump to a higher level! He was the only one in the team most suited for this mutant, and his fusion success rate was also the highest. "60 million!" After Jing Ji made his offer, he nervously looked at the others. The price wasn’t exceptionally high, quite a bit lower than the market price for invisibility; if a teammate also wanted it, they could bid. Ji Xinghuo shook his head, "Pass." Zhuo Ligelitu and Yuan Chongzhen also quickly expressed they were bowing out, their professional templates giving them a very low fusion success rate with invisibility. Lu Yunhai really wanted it, invisibility would greatly enhance his safety in the wilderness as a Hunter. And he still lacked Transcendent Species abilities, and was very eager for it. Lu Yunhai hesitated for a moment, then made a tentative offer, "63 million." Jing Ji’s heart skipped, but then he immediately heard Chi Zhonglin chuckle, "I’m a Jobless Mutant, and I’m very interested in invisibility too, want to try my luck, might just succeed in fusing. I’ll bid 70 million for a chance, Jing Ji, don’t hate me, it’s not personal, I really want it." "No problem, 75 million." Jing Ji immediately raised the bid. seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It was Lu Yunhai’s turn to bid, he looked at his two teammates, then sadly shook his head, "Pass." His recent hunting trip was indeed under Ji Xinghuo’s light, although he performed remarkably, saving the lives of several teammates, the final profit couldn’t support a higher price for him, and he needed to save money for other things. "80 million." Chi Zhonglin raised the bid again, calmly saying, "This is the highest price I can accept. Jing Ji, if you go higher than this, I’ll let it go." This was already close to the market price for invisibility, and with some patience, he might be able to buy it directly. Jing Ji did not hesitate and directly called out "81 million." Chi Zhonglin could only give up. "It’s yours now." Ji Xinghuo handed over the mutant species of invisibility. Jing Ji carefully cradled it in his hands, his face full of joy, happily saying, "If I successfully fuse with invisibility and go back to the Star Realm Frontline, I can slaughter those scum of the Beiluo Shimen Clan at will, and it won’t take half a year to earn back these eighty million plus." "You must bring me along!" Yuan Chongzhen made a gesture of clinging to coattails. "Haha, sure." Jing Ji readily agreed. Ji Xinghuo continued the allocation, picking up the "Torrential Form" mutant species, which looked like a mass of liquid water, and asked, "Does anyone want this one?" Everyone shook their heads. Only Yuan Chongzhen was quite tempted, thought for a long time, but finally decided against it, "We aren’t Water Masters, the fusion success rate is too low; even if successful, without other water-control abilities to complement, it can’t unleash its power, just forget it." "Yes," Zhuo Ligelitu also said, "Let’s sell it and split the money." "With so many Water Masters globally, selling it for 100 million would be very easy." Chi Zhonglin clicked his tongue twice, "Our six people split it evenly, each person would get about twenty million." Man Ying, who had been silent, finally spoke, "Can you sell it to me? I’ll give 120 million." "Sword Immortal, you want it?" Jing Ji expressed his surprise. Man Ying replied, "Not for me, it’s for a friend who can really use it." Ji Xinghuo knew she was talking about her brother, Zhao Cangming, whose professional template was a Water Master. Although now only an Intermediate Mutant, having used multiple expansion artifacts and fused five mutant species, he would significantly increase his power if he could fuse with Torrential Form after advancing to an Advanced Mutant. Everyone looked at Ji Xinghuo, waiting for him to decide. "120 million, if everyone can accept this price, please raise your hand to vote." Ji Xinghuo finished speaking and raised his hand. His five teammates almost simultaneously raised their hands, unanimously agreeing. "Thank you, everyone." Man Ying stood up and thanked. "Sword Immortal, you’re too polite." Chi Zhonglin laughed, "Actually, it’s us who are benefiting, not only getting the money right away but also saving a big chunk on transaction fees." But Man Ying felt differently, "It’s not about the money. Although Torrential Form is worth a little over one hundred million, it’s not something money can necessarily buy." Meanwhile, she took out her phone, made a transfer, and sent 120 million to Ji Xinghuo. "It’s transferred." Ji Xinghuo checked his account status, "Let’s continue." The three highest-valued Transcendent Species were dealt with, and the remaining mutant species distribution was much faster. Yuan Chongzhen took Mimicry for 8 million to enhance his shape-shifting ability; Zhuo Ligelitu bought the Superior Mutant species of Advanced Toughness, Extreme Recovery, and Horn Layer Scale Armor, which together amounted to 12 million; Lu Yunhai also acquired a Spirit Smell, a mutant species very suitable for Hunters. Ji Xinghuo landed Electrostatic Field and then stopped bidding. Although an "Electric Shock" was a quality mutant species, it was too similar in effect to Thunderbolt Hand, and its power was nearly the same. In the end, seven mutant species were left unwanted. Apart from Fury Claws being somewhat rare, the remaining six were very common and not highly valued, all sold together for a total of only four to five million. The teammates discussed it and decided to let Ji Xinghuo handle the money. They would not divide it evenly and instead use it as compensation for purchasing a Velociraptor mount. After distributing the spoils of war, Ji Xinghuo began tallying. He quickly calculated the result and announced, "The total is 324 million, and each of us can receive 54 million." "That’s a lot!" Lu Yunhai was greatly surprised. Even though he had roughly calculated it before, he was still shocked by the amount. He only made a few hundred thousand a year working at the archery hall, but with Ji Xinghuo on a hunting trip for just a few days, he had earned the equivalent of several hundred years of salary! The money his girlfriend Fang Yinpeng’s family had invested in him was only thirty or forty million. Rich overnight! The other teammates, all Super Mutants, were used to it. Chi Zhonglin laughed and said, "That’s just the money from the Alien Species, don’t forget Xinghuo has to give you that billion and a Transcendent Species." Ji Xinghuo nodded. Zhao Manying asked curiously, "A billion and a Transcendent Species, what’s going on?" Everyone exchanged looks, unsure of how to respond. Ji Xinghuo stood up and said, "Manying, come with me, I have something to tell you." "Okay." Zhao Manying was confused as she followed Ji Xinghuo to the bedroom under everyone’s gazes. "What is it?" "I need to borrow money from you, five billion Ya Yuan," Ji Xinghuo had thought of his plea beforehand, "I’ll use this Demon Sound as collateral." Demon Sound was a top-tier Superpower Three Stars weapon, and using it as collateral for five billion was easy. However, Zhao Manying did not take the Longsword, "What’s going on?" Ji Xinghuo explained the situation, and after hearing it, Zhao Manman was greatly shocked, "Are you sure the giant lizard’s body is also an Alien Species, and it possesses a Star Fall Ability?" "Positive!" Ji Xinghuo took Qing Hong out of his pocket. Ever since it swallowed the giant lizard’s body, it had been digesting, although the process was very slow. Half a day had passed and it had shrunk just a little, its body still round and its eyes slightly closed, in a strange state that resembled hibernation yet remained somewhat conscious, allowing communication. Looking at this, it might take two or three weeks to fully digest and complete the gene recombination. "What exactly is the Alien Species?" Zhao Manying observed Qing Hong, unable to resist asking. "Gene recombination," Ji Xinghuo didn’t hide it from her. "Ah?" Zhao Manying’s eyes widened in surprise, "It’s actually gene recombination!" She had naturally heard of this renowned Star Fall Species and was familiar with it, staring at the immobile Qing Hong in Ji Xinghuo’s hands, she couldn’t help but shake her head, "If Qing Hong successfully fuses with the gene recombination, it will possess infinite potential." "That’s why I spared no expense to secure it," Ji Xinghuo said. Zhao Manying nodded, "Five billion Ya Yuan plus five Transcendent Species for a Star Fall Species, this deal is too worthwhile." Then she frowned, seemingly angry. "Just five billion and you actually wanted to use Demon Sound as collateral, did you think I wouldn’t lend it to you?" Zhao Manying stared at Ji Xinghuo, visibly upset. "Er..." Ji Xinghuo felt a bit awkward. Although he often joked about relying on a rich woman, he didn’t really want to do that. As a man, he still needed to have some self-respect. "I didn’t mean that," he could only say that. "Forget it, I know what you meant, men..." Zhao Manying chuckled lightly, "There’s no need for collateral, just keep the Demon Sound yourself, I’m not afraid you’ll default. You can pay me back when you have the money," saying that, she quickly began operating. The transaction amount was too large, the bank immediately contacted them, and after multiple identity verifications, successfully transferred five billion to Ji Xinghuo’s account. "Done." Zhao Manying smiled, "From now on, I’m your creditor, so be nice to me." "Of course, Queen," Ji Xinghuo joked. Zhao Manying blushed slightly, snorted, "Who wants to be your queen." Before she could finish, Ji Xinghuo’s face moved closer, and she quickly dodged backward, "Your friends are still outside." "Then we’ll wait for them to leave." Ji Xinghuo left the bedroom, and everyone in the living room immediately looked over, their faces carrying that understanding only men share. "Cough..." He put on a serious face, pretending not to understand their glances, and said, "I’m going to transfer the money to you guys right now." After several operations, Ji Xinghuo had transferred the money. Apart from that five billion, purchasing the Electrostatic Field would cost another billion. Subtracting the 54 million he divided evenly, he only needed to provide another 46 million, which was enough. However, he only had a little over 20 million in his bank account, so he took out a few reserved 10,000 True Dragon Coins to make up the difference. The teammates each received their rightful money, and then one by one got up to say their goodbyes. Since Zhao Manying was present, they all tactfully did not stay long. They agreed to meet again another day. Ji Xinghuo saw everyone out the door and turned around to see Zhao Manying just coming out of the bedroom, saying to him, "Go take a shower and then quickly merge with the Electrostatic Field."
