Chapter 18: Chapter 16

As the body was slowly dragged out by the machine, Zhou Xu almost fainted looking at the corpse of the monster.

" You killed a monster, wait a monster is present inside the city, how"

" Monsters tend to use sewers to invade city, as a veteran Hunter it is part of job to clean them up, and as for why I am using machines and not magic it's to ensure that the sewers remain intact after battle, lest my destructive magic destroy it, or do you think someone who can't kill monsters alone would dare to spend night in the sewers where monsters are known to visit sometimes.

And as for why I am working alone, isn't it obvious"

" For more money?" asked Zhou Xu.

" For more money, huh do you a guardian of the city and its people, a noble person like me would do such a thing, no I wouldn't it's just that I am not generally less accepted and do not have a team for myself"

Lin Feng shamelessly defended himself as a strong protector of humanity, while downplaying everything else as his bad luck and such.

As for Zhou Xu who had gathered the courage raise his price as hush money after his stoic monologue, he simply threatened to tell the company how the monster corpse was transported and all.

" This might not be the last time I do this, if you keep quiet and do everything as you usually do then you will get just as much the next time and don't think of lying to me, I have informants in the city"

Then he let the construction guy take the lifter back and took the truck to the Hunter Union building.

....

Logically he should have gone to the Magic association building as they were usually in a larger need for a monster corpse and he could get a better price as well.

But his main intention was not profit, in fact profit would be negligible, Servant class corpses were priced between 20 and 30 thousand yuan, one fifth of what he spend to kill the beast.

Note: Not many corpses are sold in the original novel, however Mo Fan once sold a Commander level corpse to the military through Li Man after his first demonization for 19 million, now I have used a divisor of 10, so 20-30 thousand for Servant level and 200-300 thousand for Warriors.


Chapter 19: Chapter 17

He could only recoup one fifth of what he spent after bringing back a near complete corpse, this was the situation of most Basic mages, they could get more money from completing the mission objective than bringing a corpse back.

Besides cities like Bo used Space Bracelets to store important stuff like food reserves or important magic resources and barely anyone owned such items in Bo, probably not even Zhan Kong.

Besides there was another objective to the visit to the Hunter Union, wasn't he nearly unhirable thanks to lack of experience and his element, well wasn't killing a monster and bringing back it's corpse experience.

He could imagine the suprised looks on those experienced Hunters when he brought back a corpse haha.

He should be able to get an offer or two to Hunter squads, a stable salary and some actual Hunter points with this corpse as well, plus on top of selling the corpse he could claim the bounty placed by the government on monsters inside the city.

....

He parked the truck and walked up to the reception and drew gazes almost immediately, he was quite famous as the self endorsing Light mage.

" Good morning sir, how can we help you today" the receptionist who knew him said with a smile.

" I have a corpse of a one eyed Ape Rat that I killed within the city boundaries"

" Yes a corpse of Ape Rat from inside the city boundary... Huh the corpse of a what" shrieked the woman.

" A one eyed Ape Rat that I killed inside the city" replied Lin Feng blandly.

" Hey newbie, is this some new scam"

" Are you telling us, you a light mage killed a demon all on your own and came back unhurt"

Lin Feng simply ignored the regulars of the Hunter Union as he stared at the receptionist.

" We will have to confirm the corpse and that it was killed inside the city, please wait a moment".

The receptionist then went on to call her supervisor and the military outpost on snowy peaks Mountain, after which they confirmed that no one with his name or build left the city and most certainly no demon corpses were brought back to the city.

With his cultivation, this practically confirmed that it was killed within the city as Bo City lacked equipment to confirm it with a test.
