Chapter 268: 222: A Huge Fortune, 500 Lord's Heart Acquired!_2
"Old Man Huang vouches for you, just deliver within ten days."
Liu Guozhong had no expression on his face, seemingly indifferent to the contents of the 500 treasure chests.
As for the various materials harvested from the Black Dragon's Nest that Zi Liyuan traded to him, he only checked the quantity.
"Good!"
Dealing with such a stoic military man, it's best to keep things strictly professional.
The exchange was completed swiftly, and then Liu Guozhong left straight away without any interest in sticking around for a chat.
Shaking his head, Zi Liyuan didn't mind, stretched, and then ambled out of his villa towards Dragon Academy.
Upon entering the school, he used the teleportation array to immediately transport himself to the dungeon altar square, randomly selected a Fourth Order Level 100 forest dungeon, activated it with a guiding jade card, and was instantly sucked in.
Without even observing the surroundings of the dungeon, he took out his magic wand and summoned all the bosses at once.
"Free-for-all, sweep through the dungeon."
He issued the order casually, stretched out on a recliner pulled from his Spatial Backpack, and then took out the dungeon origin treasure chests one by one.
Upon opening each chest, a crimson light soared into the sky, ceaseless, dyeing the entire dungeon a bloody red.
"An easy gain of 505 [Heart of the Lord] medals, minus the 50 given to the military, that's a profit of 455."
Of course, the profit distribution was agreed to be split forty-sixty, and he definitely needed to compensate with a bunch of items.
As for what to supplement, Zi Liyuan was well-prepared, for there were thousands of silver-grade hero equipment lying in his Spatial Backpack.
Many hard-to-deal-with items could just be passed off as coming from the treasure chests, and dealt directly to the military.
By the time he finished opening the 500 treasure chests, the bosses had practically plowed through the dungeon. Only the final boss remained, not killed but left crippled on the side.
That, of course, was an order from Zi Liyuan since entering the dungeon was basically just to covertly open the dungeon origin treasure chests; after all, opening these things caused extraordinary phenomena.
He didn't want to open them outside, attracting widespread attention and inevitable trouble.
"Huh, is the drop rate in a Fourth Order Level 100 dungeon this low?"
With a team of Wraith Mages on hand, after defeating monsters, they were able to sweep up and bring back loot for him.
However, the returned loot was not much and mainly consisted of materials; the equipment, sparse and of poor quality.
"No wonder juniors and seniors often venture out to challenge wild dungeons and monster lairs."
The Dragon Academy had no shortage of Fourth Order dungeons, but most of the students frequenting them were freshmen, with only a portion of sophomores, while juniors and seniors were hardly seen.
Presumably, this was due to the low drop rate and poor quality of loot in the academy dungeons.
Releasing a black Bone Spear with a flick of his hand, he finished off the crippled final dungeon boss, collected all the loot, and exited the dungeon.
Without pausing, he stepped onto the teleportation array and selected the manor where No. 2 resided.
In the blink of an eye, he was transported to the location.
"Was the extermination of the monster lair smooth this time?"
The manor's teleportation array was activated, and its bound guiding jade card would display an alert directly.
So No. 2 had been waiting for a certain person's arrival in the hall for quite some time.
"No waves, and the gains were huge."
As Lord Zi answered, he naturally sat down next to No. 2.
With a gentle loop of his arms, he pulled her into his embrace.
Feeling the soft pressure, a certain bestial part of him stirred.
Leaning his head in, he nuzzled and claimed a kiss all at once.
Instantly, a strange atmosphere enveloped the two of them.
No. 2 couldn't help but lift his head, gazing at him with tender affection.
"For you to claim the gains were huge, then you must have obtained treasures that could greatly enhance your strength."
"You really are a temptress, guessed it right on the nose, but this time, you're the one who benefits the most," he said.
He leaned in close, inhaling the scent of her black hair and whispered in her ear.
"Tell me more, as long as it satisfies me, you will reap the rewards. I might even consider some of your demands," she said seductively and deliberately blew a breath into his ear.
Her hand involuntarily slid down.
"I've brought you materials that could enhance your talent. How about you reward me properly?"
"[Heart of the Lord]? To enhance my talent this time, I'll need ten of them," she said.
No sooner had she finished speaking than ten [Heart of the Lord] floated around them, shining with a golden glow like stars.
"How many monster nests did you have to wipe out? A treasure chest can only drop one [Heart of the Lord] at most, right?" she exclaimed in surprise.
No wonder she was so astonished; [Heart of the Lord] was no ordinary item, and it was extremely precious.
"Working with the imperial army, I made a small fortune. From now on, you won't have to worry about [Heart of the Lord] for your talent enhancement," he said.
"Love me!"
The following ten thousand words are omitted (only King VIP readers can view them)~
...
A tumult had raged for a day and a night, finally ending when she passed out.
This dual cultivation session once again activated part of Zi Liyuan's Bloodline Power, and the temporary increase to his all-attribute BUFF also rose to 60%, with its duration refreshing to seven days.
Feeling unsatisfied, he left behind ten [Heart of the Lord] as a girlfriend allowance and swaggered onto the teleportation array, this time heading to Wang Tie Manor.
"Lord Zi, I've been waiting all night for your message," said Wang Fatty, with dark circles under his eyes and a look of resentment, almost causing Lord Zi to shudder with revulsion.
"Damn, don't look at me with those nauseating eyes; I'm afraid it will affect your sexual orientation in the future."
Being handsome wasn't his fault, but Wang Fatty's gaze was more than he could bear.
"Lord Zi, you can't just play with people like this. You said you would come over at night, then made me sit here waiting all night long," Wang Fatty complained.
"Alright, alright, have you got the contract altar ready like I asked?" Lord Zi quickly changed the subject.
Tired of Wang Fatty's mournful gaze, Lord Zi got straight to the point.
"I had it ready long ago. After entering the academy, I immediately crafted my exclusive contract altar."
Beast Tamers have two ways to form contracts with monsters: one is through monster eggs, contracting and hatching them from infancy to shape them as needed.
The other is to capture powerful monster bosses, beat them into submission, and have them plead for a contract.
Zi Liyuan had captured three Black Dragons this time; he had signed a servitude contract with the dragon maiden Daris himself.
Using her as a mount, he could ride her in the daytime for a bit of fresh air, and of course, at night as well.
As for the other two Black Dragon Lord Bosses, transformed into human-like brutes, he obviously didn't sign servitude contracts with them.
He sealed these two Black Dragons into scrolls, planning to bring them back for Wang Fatty to contract.
Both had been beaten to the point of begging on their knees, naturally not daring to resist Lord Zi.
So, when Zi Liyuan and Wang Fatty arrived at the underground training field, they just tore open the two sealed scrolls.
Two Black Dragon Lord Bosses, barely alive, covered in wounds and stripped of their dragon scales, lay pathetically on the ground.
The Giant Dragon's body was full of treasures, with dragon scales being top-grade materials for making armor, especially those of a Black Dragon Lord Boss.
Adhering to the principle of no waste, Lord Zi had two Golden Behemoths provide a "scraping" service for the two Black Dragons.
However, the Golden Behemoths' claws were so sharp that a little extra force during the scraping session inadvertently led to the two Black Dragons shedding a layer of skin like snakes.
Of course, following the principle that wasting is shameful, the dragon blood carelessly shed by the two Black Dragons was also collected in buckets by him.
The blood of a Black Dragon Lord Boss was a top-grade material needed for alchemy and other secondary professions.
