Chapter 19: Bai Ding’s Hand Has Been Enlightened
Chapter 19: Bai Ding's Hand Has Been Enlightened
Xu Yan poured out a pile of Level 5 Giant Wolf Fangs onto the counter.
The staff member stared at them, stunned.
Giant Wolf Fangs only drop from the Wild Wolf's Lair, a Level 5 Hell Dungeon.
But that dungeon was the hardest Level 5 dungeon in existence, far more difficult than any other.
An all-life profession team clearing it?
Impossible.
Yet—
Here were the materials.
---
Confusion Sets In
She double-checked the team's badges:
Farmer
Chef
Tailor
Mason
Four proper life professions.
And yet—
They cleared the hardest dungeon?
The staff member felt like her common sense was cracking.
---
The Only Explanation…
She hesitated, then came to a realization:
They must be rich second-generation kids!
It was the only logical answer.
Only someone with insane money would spend on high-level equipment just to power-level a life profession team.
But if that were true—
It would be pointless.
Life professions had a cap.
No matter how much money you burned, you'd never get a return in the mid-game.
But—
She wasn't going to question it.
---
Material Pricing
She sighed and said:
"You're lucky."
"Ever since the senior class graduated, Giant Wolf Fangs have been in short supply. Prices are up 30%."
"Normally, 500 per pair. Now, 600."
"You willing to sell?"
Xu Yan nodded.
---
The Transfer
The staff used a device to erase the material imprints.
Then, she transferred ¥9,066 to Xu Yan's account.
Just as she was about to call the next person forward—
Xu Yan reached back into his space backpack.
And pulled out…
One pair of Elite Giant Wolf Fangs
One Elite Giant Wolf Core
One Three-Headed Hell Wolf Soul
The staff member froze.
---
Processing Error
"Elite Giant Wolf Fangs?"
"Elite Giant Wolf Core!?"
"Wait—Three Hell Wolf Souls!?"
Her brain stalled.
"You… actually cleared the Wild Wolf's Lair!?"
Xu Yan casually nodded.
The staff member felt like she was going to explode.
---
New Pricing
After taking several deep breaths, she pulled up the updated price list.
Elite Giant Wolf Fangs: ¥5,000
Elite Giant Wolf Core: ¥9,000
Three Hell Wolf Souls: ¥100,000
Xu Yan and his team froze.
---
100,000 Yuan for Hell Wolf Souls!?
Bai Ding blinked.
"Why are the Hell Wolf Souls so valuable!?"
The staff explained:
"You don't understand how lucky you are."
"Hell Wolf Souls have an incredibly low drop rate."
"Even teams that clear the dungeon dozens of times might never get one."
"And with the senior students gone, there are almost no teams capable of clearing the dungeon anymore."
"Prices skyrocketed."
She paused, then smirked.
"Though honestly, your elite wolf material drops are kinda pathetic."
"There are ten elite wolves in the Wild Wolf's Lair."
"With a 20% drop rate, you should have at least five sets of elite materials."
"Looks like all your luck went straight to the BOSS drops."
---
Realization
The team members all turned to look at Bai Ding.
Bai Ding felt their stares and gulped.
"W-Why are you all looking at me?"
---
Staff's Final Advice
The staff laughed and waved a hand.
"Relax, it happens."
"Luck is mysterious."
"Even high-luck teammates fail material collection sometimes."
"Anyway, do you want to sell?"
---
Final Sale
Xu Yan nodded immediately.
"Sell it all!"
With ¥120,000 transferred in one go,
Xu Yan and his team walked out grinning.
---
The Aftermath
"Holy crap, I didn't expect to earn this much!"
"120,000!? The team ranked first in our grade only gets 100,000 in rewards!"
"The school robbed us, but we earned it back with our own hands!"
Xu Yan grinned and pulled out his phone.
He transferred ¥30,000 to each of his teammates.
---
The Refusal
But—
The team members refused to take the money.
Xu Yan frowned.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
Bai Ding shook his head.
"Xu Yan, we can't take this."
Gao Yang nodded.
"We already talked about it last night."
"We're not taking a single cent."
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have even gotten a wolf hair."
"Plus, just making it to third year and keeping our college entrance qualifications is enough for us."
Xu Yan fell silent.
For the first time,
He didn't know what to say.
---
The Unexpected Call
But just as the team was about to part ways—
All four of their phones rang simultaneously.
Their homeroom teachers were calling.
---
Urgent Summons
"Get back to school! Immediately!"
"It's about your final exam results!"
"Go straight to the principal's office—he wants to see you personally!"
"No, I don't know why! Just hurry up!"
The team members exchanged glances.
---
Theories
Bai Ding frowned.
"Why call us back when it's already holiday time?"
Gao Yang gulped.
"You don't think… our exam results got canceled, do you?"
Zhou He froze.
"Don't jinx it, you fat idiot!"
Xu Yan crossed his arms.
"Either way—let's go."
---
The Truth Awaits
And with that,
The team turned back toward No. 8 Middle School.
