Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 238 : The Potential of a Promising Seedling (2)

Under the gasps of the crowd, Ye Nai then released the large spider with bright red velvet fur.

"Alright, that's everything."

"Wow, a Red Velvet Spider!"

"This number, did you empty out an entire nest?"

"My God!"

The team responsible for counting the prey inhaled sharply and turned to speak with Xu Tong.

"Deputy Captain Xu, we can't handle such a large and numerous haul of prey. The logistics team's space is filled with all our essential items; we can't free up any more room, so we need to have Ye Nai deliver the prey to Town No.2 herself."

"You give her an estimation of the points, and I'll talk to her."

Ye Nai, with a smile, watched the surprised warriors check off each item of prey she had brought back. Turning her head, she saw Xu Tong approaching her.

"Deputy Captain Xu, something the matter?"

"There's an issue with the prey you brought back—it's too much..."

Before Xu Tong could finish speaking, Ye Nai cut him off with an understanding look.

"I get it; since I'll be heading out anyway, I'll take it with me, not using up your storage space."

Xu Tong suddenly had a bright idea.

"Can your space still hold more?"

Ye Nai's eyes flickered as she instantly grasped Xu Tong's intention.

"Take the prey you all collected with me?"

"Yes, deliver it to the 5th Street of Town No.2, where our Mountain Leopard Team's logistics base is located. Just hand it over to them, and consider this trip as taking on our delivery mission."

"Hmm, sure!"

Xu Tong immediately took out his phone to create a new mission, which not only included the prey brought back by other teams but also the ones Ye Nai had carried.

After the accounting for payment, all became the assets of the Mountain Leopard Team, of course, counting as one mission.

"Also, we'll calculate the cost of the medical treatment you gave the wounded. Create a medical record for this occasion in the first aider section of your personal backend, then report to the medical tent for reimbursement. This record will serve as your experience as a Beginner First Aider. Five years later, if you want to pursue an Intermediate level, the review during registration will certainly look at your past treatment numbers and success rate to prevent someone from obtaining a certificate without doing anything for five years and then directly attempting an Intermediate level."

"Whoa, there are people like that?"

"During those chaotic years, there was all sorts of loophole-exploiting nonsense. Thankfully, things have improved year by year, and the social order is largely restored. Didn't you know this when you got your license? Haven't you done any work since getting certified?"

"I have, I have. I've removed bullets from limbs and filed for reimbursements, but nobody reminded me about this; thanks, Deputy Captain Xu."

"No problem. The medics in military teams are sent in; they're trained through different paths and wouldn't naturally think of those things." Xu Tong chuckled and ruffled Ye Nai's fuzzy head, liking the feel of it, "I have high hopes for you. Keep up the good work. You might even become a Gold Medal Hunter and enter the Hall of Fame someday."

"Gold Medal Hunter? The highest rank for a hunter?"

"Yes, whether you take on missions at the mission center, with fighting teams or as a Solo Hunter, it's all about points. They are scored as gold, silver, bronze, iron, and tin, five levels in total. There's a significant difference between each grade. Since the system was established, the current Gold Medal Teams and Hunters are all top-tier teams and big names in the country."

"Wow!" Ye Nai's eyes sparkled; she felt that with her own skills, a spot among the Gold Medal Hunters was definitely in her future.

"Have you taken on tasks from the mission center?"

"I haven't taken on much. My first task was directly assigned from the danger zone—to take the trash to the incineration plant. After that, I've been following different military teams on missions. I hardly ever posted any requests, just got direct assignments."

Xu Tong nodded understandingly. With the situation in East Ridge City, it was rare for an Awakener like Ye Nai to stay put. Since she hadn't left, of course, she'd get direct assignments; there was no need to compete with others for jobs. The downside was missing out on points tasks, but she definitely hadn't earned any less money.

Her gaze returned to the prey still being counted on the field.

"Looking at the amount of prey you've brought back, I understand why you've been able to keep a one hundred percent mission completion rate and a full credit score for a year now. Who can compete with you?"

"Hehe~" Ye Nai felt quite proud too.

"It won't be easy to keep it up; you should keep up the hard work."

"That's impossible; even a decimal point more would have me filled with regret."

"Well, it might not be impossible. The tasks from the mission center are diverse, and many are privately published, hiding traps that may look good on the surface, but once you get involved, you realize that either vital information wasn't provided or it was incorrect. It's not like military and official tasks that detail the difficulty and warn of a failure rate. If you're not careful, your one hundred percent completion rate will be broken, and your credit score will immediately drop. Although if the completion rate for subsequent tasks is still good, the credit score will slowly rise back to full, but the completion rate can never be restored to one hundred percent."

Ye Nai narrowed her eyes slightly. Thwart her double one hundred? Hmph, impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Seeing her expression, Xu Tong knew she was feeling indignant inside and couldn't help but laugh. Youngsters starting their career always have this kind of drive.

The two chatted idly for a while longer before Xu Tong went off to take care of her own business, and Li Ping had left even earlier. Both team leaders were very busy people.

The work of counting the prey went on for more than an hour. Many people helped to finish earlier so they could clear the space for Ye Nai to bring out the bathroom and laundry shop.

Ever since she went out hunting on her own, they hadn't enjoyed a hot water bath, and they missed it immensely.

The prey she brought back from this trip, after settlement, would amount to nearly twenty million after taxes.

The value of the wild boars, wild buffaloes, and wild deer was about one million six hundred thousand, but the eighty-six Red Velvet Spiders of various sizes were the most valuable.

There were ten fully grown ones, with a lot of fur, thick pelt, worth seven hundred thousand each, and the remaining seventy-six sub-adults worth four hundred thousand each. Just these added up to thirty-seven million four hundred thousand before taxes, with one million six hundred thousand making exactly thirty-nine million.

Anything over ten million was taxed at a cap of 40 percent, so the actual take-home was twenty-three million four hundred thousand.

Right, she also had to get her security deposit back.

The thick, red velvet fur of the Red Velvet Spider provided warmth akin to cotton, down, or wool. Unlike the spiders from East Ridge Secret Realm, these spiders didn't have flesh in their legs; instead, the flesh was inside their bodies. Their body shells and legs were hard exoskeletons, high-quality material for armor.

Its economic value had been thoroughly researched, but there was no method for artificial breeding; they were all wild-caught, making red velvet a pricey material in the market.

Ye Nai was secretly tempted; she thought about catching some and trying to raise them in the East Ridge Secret Realm to see if they could be farmed.

Once the money was in her account, Ye Nai collected all the prey from the ground into her Space and found an upwind spot to set out the bathroom and laundry shop, to prevent the evening breeze from bringing over the stench from the tractor's side.

Then she followed the squadron leader to collect their stored prey.

On the way, Ye Nai asked about the efficient and effective detergents. Their prices were similar to other brands she bought based on advertisements, all a bit over one hundred per bottle. How much she'd use depended on how smelly the vehicle was.

For the stench in her vehicle, she'd need at least half a bottle to start off with, and she had to be careful about not dumping the wash water anywhere.
