Chapter 278: Tallying Battle Spoils: Striking It Rich! (Part 2)
"And also!" At this point, Bai Ling seemed to suddenly think of something, gaining confidence from within. She put her hands on her hips, puffed out her cheeks, and said, "I clearly left you a paper note!"
Upon hearing Bai Ling's words, three black lines immediately appeared on Fang Ze's forehead. He took out the note from his pocket and slapped it onto Bai Ling's forehead.
The note featured a simple stick figure drawing that was obviously a child's doodle: three big-headed little people holding hands, with another big-headed little person tied up behind them.
Next to the drawing, there was also a message saying, "We went to collect the loot. No need to worry."
Pointing at the note, Fang Ze angrily said to Bai Ling, "Look at this! What's the point of this note?!"
Seeing that Fang Ze was really angry, Bai Ling didn't dare to keep goofing around. She quickly shook Fang Ze's arm gently, blinking her expressive eyes to appease him, "Alright~ alright~ I was wrong. Don't be angry. I won't dare to do it again."
"Besides! Look! I collected a lot of loot!" As she said this, Bai Ling's big eyes instantly turned into "¥" shapes.
Saying this, she activated the Mercury Assassin's ability again: her ears elongated and changed shape. Then she slid off Fang Ze, dragging her increasingly long ears as she ran over to Bai Zhi and Miaomiao, indicating the big packages, and said excitedly, "We've struck it rich!"
Watching Bai Ling's ear, now seven or eight meters long, Fang Ze marveled at the miraculous nature of such a creature while letting go and joining Bai Ling by her side.
Now that Fang Ze stopped mentioning her running off, Bai Ling, like a child seeking praise, began to showcase her loot to him.
It has to be said, since Fang Ze met Bai Ling, her money-loving nature hadn't changed, and during this loot collection, it was on full display.
Not to mention Space Folding Bags and other space devices, she had collected treasures, weapons, armor—everything well-rounded. And that wasn't all; she even collected accessories, materials from discarded armor, and useful parts from Disaster Creatures' corpses!
It was a true scraping of ground three feet deep! She only stopped once there was nothing left to scrape!
As for why, even with space devices, she was dragging the loot in packages, it was because… both her and Bai Zhi's space devices were full, leaving no more room.
At this moment, seeing the loot covering the ground, Fang Ze was also a bit dazed.
Being a practical person, he asked straightforwardly, "How much are these worth?"
Hearing Fang Ze's question, Bai Ling thought for a moment, then calculated, holding her cheek, "The total value is really hard to say, given that opening unclaimed Space Bags requires special equipment, so it's unclear how much the items inside those bags are worth."
"But I estimate that just what I have should be worth no less than two billion, right?"
Saying this, Bai Ling tugged on Fang Ze's arm and whispered in his ear, "I also secretly packed away all the corpses of Disaster Creatures above the Mortality-Shedding realm. There are over 40 of them. When we return to Spirit Realm Mountain, we can exchange for three or four Mortality-Shedding Fruits!"
Fang Ze: .....
Wow. Such a thrifty and diligent child!
With this in mind, Fang Ze's eyes shifted slightly, then he extended a hand without reservation and said, "Let's split it equally."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ling immediately flared up! "Half? This...this...this...hmph, at most, ten percent."
Hearing this, Fang Ze gave her a curious look, "I didn't think you were this sensible. Alright, then you take ten percent."
Bai Ling: ???
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Ling frowned slightly, her face full of question marks.
'I take ten percent?'
'...Was that what I meant just now?'
With Bai Ling setting an example, the rest was easy. Over the next two hours, Fang Ze took Bai Zhi, Bai Ling, and the others into a long operation of harvesting the loot.
To be honest, at first Fang Ze felt it was a bit tedious, but he was soon lost in it with Bai Ling calling out "A million," "A million," "A million," as she dismantled the corpses.
Burdened with high-interest debts, he was eager for these high-value materials and items.
Thus, after a full two hours of collecting, the group finally gathered all the loot from the enemies.
It must be said, Bai Ling, with her encyclopedic knowledge of all federal goods, played a crucial role!
Without her, many items and biological materials Fang Ze wouldn't recognize, likely leading to a loss of considerable loot.
This bounty made Fang Ze feel that the ten percent loot to her was well worth it.
Finally, when tallying up the loot, Bai Ling again played a vital role. Familiar with the value of federal goods, she easily estimated the total value of all the loot: over 7 billion Lini!
This doesn't include the 90 Mortality-Shedding realm corpses and 2 Ascension realm Disaster Creature corpses!
To be honest, this terrifying gain made Fang Ze a bit greedy on the spot: he was tempted to go on another killing spree!
However, he also knew such opportunities are rare.
Even though his actions were excessive this time, ultimately he had the moral high ground, so it would be difficult for the Outer Realm demigods to cause trouble for him. If he dared to slaughter indiscriminately in private, likely all the Outer Realm demigods wouldn't tolerate him.
