Chapter 41 A Bountiful Harvest
After cleaning up the remaining gray rats, the three of them walked toward the corpse of the Iron-Toothed Rat King.
"Purple material!"
Upon reaching him, Sun Guangsheng exclaimed in surprise, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he said with a slight tremor, "Sister Xu, quickly pinch me and see if I'm dreaming."
I've participated in no fewer than ten team-building commissions, and this is the first time I've ever seen purple materials!
Xu Zhao ignored him, staring blankly at the purple halo in front of her, clearly also startled.
It's important to know that the probability of a vicious monster dropping purple materials is extremely low.
Generally, newly hatched creatures have a very high chance of dropping white materials, and a small chance of dropping green materials.
Blue materials appear with less than a one percent probability.
Similarly, the same applies to vicious species.
In most cases, green materials will drop, blue materials will drop with a small chance, and purple materials will drop with an extremely low chance.
At least, Xu Zhao has participated in killing many vicious monsters, and has never seen purple materials before.
I never expected my luck to explode today!
Lin Mo took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and quickly stepped forward.
The mutated corpse, after its materials were extracted, was no longer of any value, so Lin Mo only glanced at it briefly before paying no further attention.
Besides the items dropped by the Irontooth Rat King, there were also many materials left behind by the Gray-haired Rat on the ground.
The vast majority are white quality, with only a small portion being green and a few scattered blue items.
Lin Mo glanced at them and immediately understood.
There are about forty or fifty white materials, mostly common materials such as fur, bones, and venom sacs.
The unit price is not high, but the quantity is large.
Selling to the Chamber of Commerce would be a considerable income.
There are seven green items, scattered among the white items.
Its emerald green light stood out conspicuously among the white orbs of light.
There are only three blue materials: a fist-sized dark red venom sac, two long and wide giant teeth, and a meter-long dark black vertebra.
These three items are all excellent materials for crafting blue cards.
Especially that dark red poison sac; if we could find matching card-making materials...
It is entirely possible to craft a poison-type skill card of quite good quality.
Finally, there's the purple material.
Lin Mo crouched down and carefully picked it up.
It was a spherical, transparent crystal core, about the size of a fist.
Inside, there is a lifelike phantom of the Iron-Toothed Rat King.
The phantom had its mouth open, revealing a pair of long, wide serrated teeth.
Its posture was fierce, as if it were about to burst out of its core at any moment.
Furthermore, when Lin Mo's fingers touched the surface of the crystal core, he could clearly feel a cool aura spreading up his fingertips.
A menacing roar instantly echoed in his mind.
"The Beast Soul Core of the Iron-Toothed Rat King".
Xu Zhao leaned over for a look, his tone revealing a hint of understanding, "Moreover, it retains a complete mark of the malevolent spirit, its quality is extremely high, very rare."
Sun Guangsheng also came over, his eyes fixed on the purple crystal core in Lin Mo's palm, his mouth practically watering.
But he quickly realized his lapse in composure, took a step back, rubbed his face vigorously, and chuckled:
"I saw a similar material card at an auction before; it was a nine-star Black Iron Stone Armored Rhinoceros Beast Soul Core."
It was eventually auctioned off for a high price of 580,000 Star Coins.
Although this Iron-Toothed Rat King is only a six-star Black Iron Rat, the beast soul core of a ferocious species is naturally more valuable than that of a nascent species.
Plus, given its excellent condition, it could easily fetch at least 300,000 yuan!
Upon hearing this, even with his strong willpower, Lin Mo couldn't help but grin.
300,000 Star Coins!
All his assets, including commission fees, amount to just over 90,000.
This single crystal core alone is enough to more than triple his net worth.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Mo gathered all the materials together and divided them into four piles according to their quality.
The white material was the most abundant, and when piled together, it looked like a small mountain;
Seven green items, three blue items, and one purple item.
Each one shimmered with a different luster, dazzling the eye.
"Come on, let's divide the spoils!"
Lin Mo dusted off his hands and smiled as he beckoned the two of them over.
Sun Guangsheng and Xu Zhao exchanged a glance and immediately gathered around.
The three of them squatted down next to the materials, forming a circle.
It looked like three kids playing a game of "China, Japan, and the US," and the scene was strangely comical.
"According to team conventions, whoever contributes the most gets the lion's share!"
Lin Mo didn't waste any words, directly picking up the purple crystal core and placing it in front of him. "This crystal core is mine. Do you two have any objections?"
"No objections, no objections!"
Sun Guangsheng shook his head like a rattle-drum, his voice as loud as ever, "Brother Lin, if you hadn't accidentally discovered that air-raid shelter, we probably would have run away long ago!"
Not to mention, you were the one who intercepted the Iron-Toothed Rat King when it tried to escape.
It's only natural that you take the lion's share!
"Brother Sun is right."
Xu Zhao nodded slightly: "You made the biggest contribution, so the purple material should rightfully belong to you."
Lin Mo nodded, and without any pretense, put it directly into his pocket.
He then looked at the remaining materials and smiled, "These three blue materials, we'll each take one. As for the remaining green and white materials, we'll split them equally, how about that?"
The two nodded.
In the end, Sun Guangsheng obtained three green materials and sixteen white materials.
Xu Zhao took two green items and twenty-one white items.
Lin Mo took two green items and twenty white items.
After dividing the spoils, all three men wore undisguised smiles.
He was clearly very satisfied with the outcome of this commission.
"Hehe, today was worth it!"
Sun Guangsheng packed all his materials into his backpack, grinning from ear to ear, "Now I don't have to attend any commissions for at least half a month."
Xu Zhao didn't speak, but it was easy to tell from the slight upturn of her lips that she was in a good mood as well.
As for Lin Mo, needless to say, let's leave aside the purple material for now.
Selling all the remaining materials alone would net at least 200,000.
Including the commission, this trip brought in nearly 300,000 yuan.
Suddenly, he went from being penniless to having some wealth.
"It's time to leave!"
Lin Mo calmed himself down, and a thought flashed through his mind.
Commander Yu Lei stepped forward, cut off the head of the Iron-Toothed Rat King, wrapped it in a waterproof cloth, and carried it in his hand.
This is the proof of entrustment; I must take it back.
It must be said that the Iron-Toothed Rat King's head is indeed ridiculously large.
It was a whole size bigger than the backpack on his back.
It's quite heavy when you carry it, weighing at least twenty or thirty pounds.
However, Lin Mo's physique had been strengthened many times, so this weight was still relatively easy for him.
After carefully searching the surrounding area and confirming that no materials had been missed, the three of them returned the way they came.
About half an hour later, the group arrived at the sewer outlet.
Without lingering, they immediately climbed out along the rusted escalator.
The sudden burst of sunlight outside forced all three of them to squint.
After spending so much time in the sewers, it can be quite disorienting to suddenly switch environments.
After a brief respite, just as everyone was about to continue walking forward, they saw sanitation workers coming to greet them.
