Chapter 29 Rich Loot
Chapter 29 Rich Loot
But how could Lu Hao let him have his way? Although he couldn't use the third strike, his mastery of leg techniques wasn't for nothing.
Then Lu Hao kicked out, sending Bai Yifan, who was about to take the pill, flying four or five meters away.
As Bai Yifan coughed up a mouthful of blood, Lu Hao stopped. According to Lu Hao's deduction, although the trump card was blocked by the inner armor, the blood and qi should have damaged the internal organs. With this kick, the internal organs would probably explode.
So Lu Hao didn't make another move, and just watched Bai Yifan warily as he watched Bai Yifan bleed more and more, seeing Bai Yifan's painful expression and cries of agony.
Lu Hao did not soften his heart. After all, a life is a life, and he should have thought of today's scene when he killed the person.
After waiting for a while, Lu Hao saw that Bai Yifan had stopped moving, and then he saw a message on the panel.
[Killed an enemy, kill points +237]
Hmm, 237 kill points. If we compare that to health and mana, it seems Bai Yifan has indeed reached the peak of the first rank through the use of numerous pills.
Lu Hao then picked up the metal rod that had fallen to the side.
The staff didn't break under Lu Hao's attack, and even a forceful chop with his broadsword left it undamaged. This metal staff was likely made of the same D-grade metal as Lu Hao's large ring-handled sword.
After weighing it, I estimated it to be about 4 kilograms. The price of one kilogram of D-grade alloy is around 60, so this stick is worth 240 million.
He removed the inner armor, which had already been cleaved open by a crack, from Bai Yifan's body. Although this inner armor hadn't stopped Lu Hao's attack, it represented Lu Hao's strongest attack at the moment.
The damage caused by a burst of over 50 calories of Qi and Blood is generally unbearable even for a second-grade cultivator; only a third-grade cultivator with tempered sternum can withstand such an attack.
Even so, the value of this inner armor should still lie in that metal rod, since inner armor is something that can be worn at any time and can save one's life.
Without this inner armor, Lu Hao's second strike would have already killed Bai Yifan, leaving him no time to take out the pill.
He took the pill from Bai Yifan that he hadn't had time to take yet. Hmm, a Life-Returning Pill, six million.
That's what a real tycoon is! The things he's wearing alone are worth over ten million.
Just how much did Bai Yifan fleece from the pill company to arm himself to this extent?
It's only because Lu Hao came that even a low-level second-rank cultivator wouldn't be able to deal with him; they might even be killed instead.
That's a real schemer.
Lu Hao opened the cellar door and jumped down, only to be immediately startled, for an arrow was pointed directly at his head where he had landed.
Lu Hao went around the cave entrance and saw that there were crossbows prepared in advance. If someone suddenly attacked, Bai Yifan could give the person who came down a big surprise from inside.
Lu Hao couldn't help but feel a little scared. Luckily, he had been more careful. If he had jumped down directly, he would probably be a corpse by now. Lu Hao had only tempered his lower limbs, and his head was not much different from that of an ordinary person. Naturally, he could not withstand the head of the crossbow bolt.
Bai Yifan's heart is truly black and sinister.
After searching around, Lu Hao found a few bottles of Qi and Blood Pills, a bottle of Bone Tempering Pills, and nothing else. It seemed that Bai Yifan had used most of his pills to purchase this set of equipment, and probably also used a lot of pills to break through.
Lu Hao pulled the arrowhead off the cave entrance, squeezed it in his hand, and then pursed his lips.
It's so hard you can't even squeeze it; it's at least a D-grade alloy, maybe even a C-grade alloy. Bai Yifan is really afraid of dying.
After collecting his spoils, Lu Hao left. On his way back, he reminded himself to be extra careful when doing missions in the future, otherwise he might run into a cunning old fox like Bai Yifan again and end up in trouble.
Back at the Detective Bureau, after reporting Bai Yifan's abilities to the staff, they said they would have to wait for confirmation from the cleanup department before giving Lu Hao the corresponding reward.
Lu Hao didn't care, after all, he wasn't after the reward; his main goal was always to gain kill points.
It took nearly half a day to kill Bai Yifan. After that, Lu Hao didn't take on any more missions. After all, it was getting late, and he might as well go home and temper his bones first.
After agreeing on a time with the viper for tomorrow, Lu Hao went straight home to undergo bone tempering.
After arriving home, Lu Hao glanced at his haul for the day.
Kill Points: 480
Leave 80 points for emergencies, and the remaining 400 points are enough for Lu Hao to temper 8 bones.
This was just Lu Hao's harvest for one day. He wished every day could be like this, but Lu Hao only thought about it; it was impossible.
Firstly, there aren't that many martial artists who commit crimes. After all, most martial artists are intelligent; they're not stupid, so how could they possibly defy national law enforcement agencies?
Secondly, there's the issue of efficiency. The two tasks Lu Hao did today were specifically chosen by him. Both tasks essentially pinpointed the target's location, so all that was needed was to send someone to handle them.
However, other tasks are not so specific, only having a general location, such as someone appearing there five days ago. This kind of information makes recruitment a challenge.
The next task is unlikely to be so easy; finding people will probably take a lot of time, but it's still worthwhile for Lu Hao.
After all, a low-level first-grade cultivator can provide 170 or 180 killing points, which can be used to temper about four bones, while it would take about ten days to temper them yourself.
Finding someone certainly wouldn't take that long; spending two or three days finding someone would be very worthwhile for Lu Hao.
If he really can't find anyone, Lu Hao can abandon the mission. He only needs to pay a penalty of one-tenth of the reward, which is not a problem for Lu Hao.
Without thinking further, Lu Hao began to temper his bones. After he finished tempering one bone, his mother returned.
At the dinner table, Lu Hao recounted the situation he encountered while doing the task today. Although Bai Qiuyao could find out the result of Lu Hao's task the day after tomorrow, she did not know the actual process.
Therefore, Lu Hao's appearance to demonstrate his strength will reassure Bai Qiuyao.
However, Bai Qiuyao couldn't help but think about something when she heard about Bai Yifan's equipment, her brows furrowed.
"What's wrong, Mom? Is there something wrong with Bai Yifan?"
"There is indeed a problem. The C-grade arrowheads and inner armor you mentioned are not things that a mere sales clerk could handle. D-grade metal is the limit for civilians, let alone inner armor. No matter what kind of inner armor it is, it is not allowed to enter civilian life."
"How did Bai Yifan get these things? It seems we'll have to thoroughly investigate his method of selling stolen goods tomorrow."
"Really? No wonder I've never seen inner armor outside; it's a controlled item."
Lu Hao nodded. Bai Yifan's equipment was indeed too abundant. How could he, a mere peak first-grade cultivator, have access to such things? It could only be that there was something wrong with his method of selling stolen goods.
