The Arctic Great Wall, where the wind and snow howl.
The heavy alloy door of the Abyss Hunting Headquarters slowly closed behind, isolating the harsh cold and clamor from the outside world.
Fang Qingyu and his team carried three huge tallic boxes, passing through the bustling, screen-flashing, communication-buzzing headquarters hall, heading straight to the mission transfer area.
"Abyss Hunting Special Action Team No. 7, Fang Qingyu’s team, mission code ’Ice Tooth’, target: Wind-Split Ice Ridge Shadow Erosion Ice-toothed Beast cluster, successfully cleared. Confird count: twenty-three."
Fang Qingyu’s voice was calm.
He handed the mission terminal to the staff wearing a black uniform behind the counter.
The staff received the terminal, skillfully operated on the light screen, calling up critical footage synchronized with the mission brief and combat recorder.
The footage mainly showed the squad tracking and setting ambushes among the ice ridges, and finally Fang Qingyu piloting Shenxiao soaring into the sky in pursuit.
As for the transaction that took place at the Ice Cliff.
And the bloody revenge of the Dawn mbers that followed were naturally completely erased, leaving no trace.
"Confird kill images, mission completion evaluation: excellent."
The staff nodded, entered the results into the system, "rit has been settled into the squad’s account. Thank you for your hard work, Captain Fang."
His gaze then fell on the three large tallic boxes at their feet that clearly did not belong to standard military issue.
The cold tallic sheen of the boxes caught his eye with pure curiosity: "Oh, Captain Fang, you guys... picked up such big boxes on this trip out? Found them on the ice plains?"
Chu Kuanglan grinned, his rugged face showing a hint of mischievousness.
He patted the box he was carrying, producing a dull thud: "Found a treasure on the way back! Hey, when luck cos, it can’t be stopped!"
The corner of the staff’s mouth twitched imperceptibly, clearly not believing this nonsense.
Finding treasure on the ice plains?
And such big boxes? You’re kidding!
However, he knew well that the Abyss Hunting mbers had different styles, and so secrets weren’t to be questioned. He just played along jokingly: "Well, that’s good. Next ti you go on a mission, take along, Captain Fang. I’ll try my luck too and catch so of that glow."
"Sure, definitely next ti."
Chu Kuanglan responded heartily, his smile growing even wider.
The transfer process ended quickly.
Fang Qingyu and his team did not leave imdiately but went to a row of self-service rit exchange terminals emitting a faint blue glow on the side of the hall.
Abyss Hunting, as the sharpest blade on the front line.
Its internal rit exchange system is considered the best in the Federation, with a richness and rarity of resources far exceeding the ordinary Garrison Army system.
Even many items that are listed as taboo or long lost in the outside world.
Can be found with exchange options here, as long as you have enough rit.
Fang Qingyu lit up the screen, his fingers gliding over the dazzling list.
High-tier martial arts manuals, rare minerals, alien Life Ghost cores, Ancient Technique scrolls...
The variety was dazzling.
Fang Qingyu tried to sort by rit price from high to low.
Swish!
A na instantly popped up at the top of the list, followed by a string of suffocating numbers:
[Item Na]: Longevity Vine (Remnant)
[Category]: Heaven and Earth Treasures·Life Extension
[Exchange Price]: 9,999,999 rit Points
[Description]: Ancient Divine Vine Remnant, containing abundant Life Origin. Effect: Can extend life by ten years. (Note: Effective only on first consumption, repeated use results in diminishing returns to none.)
"Hiss——!"
The sound of a clear intake of breath rang out among Fang Qingyu and his companions.
Even with their resolute minds, they were shaken by this astronomical number and the simple yet enough to drive any strong person mad "extend life by ten years".
"Ten... ten years?!"
Chu Kuanglan’s eyes widened, pointing at the screen, his voice raised a few pitches, "Just this vine? Can live ten more years?! My heavens, how many lifetis’ worth of rit would this take to accumulate?"
"No wonder the price is so outrageous..."
Wei Banng’s usually cool face was also filled with shock, "Ten years of ti is priceless to any strong person at the brink of life’s end yet still has the potential to break through. Even if it’s another zero added, I fear so would go bankrupt to exchange for it."
Fang Qingyu’s gaze lingered on that string of numbers and "extend life by ten years" for several seconds, a nearly indescribable glint flashing in the vertical pupils of lted gold.
He thought of many things but eventually ca to peace.
After clicking on the details for another look and ensuring there was no mistake, he silently exited the sorted list.
Currently, the squad’s cumulative rit was just over a hundred thousand.
The distance to this target seed like an insurmountable chasm.
"Alright, let’s see what we can exchange for."
Fang Qingyu focused his mind and started searching for the resources he needed. He primarily exchanged a batch of rare minerals and beast bone essences for the third tribulation cultivation of the Nine Tribulations Cyan Dragon Body, which ca at a high price, nearly consuming most of the rit he earned from this mission.
Wei Banng exchanged for several special materials that could aid her cultivation.
Lu Jiuyuan chose a jade scroll that recorded the Ancient Sword Formation Fragnt.
Jiang Wei browsed for a mont before exchanging for so ditation Flowers.
The exchange was complete.
The goods will be delivered to their courtyard as quickly as possible.
All they had to do was wait.
The team once again hoisted the three heavy tallic boxes, preparing to leave the Abyss Hunting Headquarters and return to their courtyard to study this unexpected windfall.
However, just as they were about to step through the massive alloy door...
"Buzz..."
The communicator in Fang Qingyu’s pocket emitted a clear vibration.
He paused, took out his phone.
The screen displayed an encrypted ssage from within Abyss Hunting, the sender conspicuously being [Jiang Ying].
