Chapter 276 of "The SSS Legendary Dragon Chose Me On Rebirth" kicks off with action-packed scenes: Representative Drayth had almost lost his mind when he saw the remains. In fact, he... Discover more!

Representative Drayth had almost lost his mind when he saw the remains. In fact, he insisted that they were playing a prank on him and that he would only believe it when he confirmed that the bodies of the mind stalk apes were no illusion.And when he found out that they weren't, he refused to say anything for several minutes and just stared at Vacuse. After he finally opened his mouth, he declared that nothing could ever stop him from accepting their terms. But the real shock came when he saw the black gems on the bigger apes—seven of them. He trembled as if his insides were vibrating while he stared at them. After that, no one could take his eyes off the seven heads with the black gems. All of that had happened hours ago, and now Vacuse had returned to his place and was in his room eating. "There's nothing bad in your betting, and for next time, I don't think there's anyone stupid enough to bet against the Dragon Hunters when they go hunting. Not after today at least." Everyone nodded at that. Magus Arch smiled gently. "Now everyone's going to pay attention to us. No, this isn't even attention at this point. They're all going to turn searchlights on us to know how we survived." Captain Amros nodded. "Just this afternoon alone, we've received up to forty applications from those who want to join us. I'm afraid we might become the most popular hunter team soon." And it wasn't an exaggeration. The mind stalk apes had turned into something of a legend for those in the third circle. It wasn't even about the medical uses their bodies could provide—they had become a sort of height that third-circle rank teams tried to reach. Every year, teams would prepare and try their luck against the mind stalk apes. Only the strongest of teams would come back with dead apes, and none of them had ever managed to kill one of the bigger ones with black gems. But a new team went in and killed them on their first hunt? That was a situation no one expected. They had all criticized the Dragon Hunters when they first left, but now, no one knew how to react. "What should we do with such a large number of applicants wanting to join us?" Captain Amros asked. "Admit only those of the third circle, and I want you to personally screen them, Amros and Arch. After that, you need to keep an eye on everyone we admit," Vacuse said. The ripple effects of killing the mind stalk apes were both good and dangerous. It might even become truly dangerous depending on the situation. It gave them status, but at the same time, it made people pay very close attention to them. Vacuse knew that among those applying, there must be a large number of spies. But he wasn't too worried, as he didn't plan to stay in the district for long. He planned to move the moment his team became strong enough, or if anything strange happened with the sealed-off Umbracrypt. And from that day on, he began to work toward it. Representative Drayth finally reached out to him three days later and called him to a meeting about the sale of the monsters. "The seven black-gemmed apes were sold separately, and each went for the sum of five billion. That's your cut, by the way—not the whole thing." Vacuse had been stunned to hear that. He knew he wasn't greedy when it came to money, but seriously, that was the kind of budget he heard when the Dragon Lord planned city projects! So how was he here talking about billions? "That's thirty-five billion, right?" Representative Drayth was glowing. "This sale is the biggest amount any district in the two cities has ever had from a single hunt. It's almost too much!" Nobody was as shocked as Vacuse. He couldn't believe he had gotten that rich from one hunt! "The other apes, going into three hundred and seventy, give you a cut of sixty-five billion." Vacuse blinked. Isn't that about one hundred billion? Why did it seem as if the Representative rounded the amount into a perfect number of one hundred? But he didn't pursue the matter. His head was still spinning from the numbers he'd heard. "That's good then. But I didn't really think people would buy them just for their medicinal effects." Representative Drayth laughed. "Of course not! This time, it was mostly the rich buying them as mementos and trophies. Those who collect exotic and rare monsters. Let me tell you, the mind stalk apes have turned into some kind of legend among the third circle and the rich collectors. "The news hit like an explosion, and they all want a piece of it. What's more, the jewelry organizations also began advertising them in a unique way, creating jewelry from the gems that runs into the billions. This thing has turned into a rich man's play, and everyone wants a part of it!" Vacuse silently listened to his words. The rarer something was, the more value it accumulated. It wasn't surprising, really—the monsters were not easy to deal with, and there wouldn't even be any dealing with them if Vacuse hadn't been there. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net Then Representative Drayth presented him with a ring. A shining golden ring. "This spatial ring is my gift to you. It contains all the billions of gold, sorted into sacks and boxes. You have one month to go through them and count. After that, we can't be called out for incomplete payment." Vacuse frowned. "I heard there's some kind of paper warded material that can be covered. Why are you giving me hard coins?" "Listen, Leader Vacuse. We simply do not have enough to pay you with such methods. We can only use gold. If you want, you can pay to melt it down and shape it however you like." Vacuse sighed. "Alright, alright. Thank you."
