Soon, everyone took the gigantic elevator and entered the shelter.
Under normal circumstances, they would be greeted by people from the security team. Of course, the mercenary guild would also send someone to tally their harvest.
But at this moment, the mercenaries could only stand back as a group of burly men with broad shoulders and sturdy builds took the forefront. These men were all dressed in uniform combat attire, and there was an aura of sternness about them.
In Lin Xinghai’s perception, any one of these people who was randomly selected was not weaker than Roger, especially the leader, whose aura was even more powerful than Fang Tianhe.
Lin Xinghai came to a conclusion after looking around for a moment.
These are the soldiers.
Here in the shelter, only the military could come up with such a team.
The leader of the opposing team was also sizing them up. Ultimately, his gaze settled on Fang Tianhe before he took out a document and handed it over.
After receiving the document and confirming the other party’s identity, Fang Tianhe led the group onto one of the armored vehicles.
The energy crystals had all been transferred into these armored vehicles, where the transaction could take place with the utmost discretion.
Soon, Roger came out with the soldiers, both parties wearing smiles on their faces.
After the soldiers left, Xu Haishui was the first to approach and ask, “Leader, how is the deal going? Did they try to bargain?”
Although energy crystals were precious, the price would fall when they became too abundant.
“No, they bought it for us at a premium.” Fang Tianhe said, his smile growing even broader.
Everyone, without exception, was thrilled after hearing this.
“How much is the premium price?” Xu Haishui immediately asked.
“We were given an extra 50,000 points. A total of 280,000 points are deposited into the account.” Fang Tianhe revealed without any suspense.
Xu Haishui’s mouth had dropped open in surprise. Astonishment had spread across the faces of the others. Even Shen Han, who perpetually showed a cold expression, had a flicker of emotion cross her face.
50,000 points was not a small amount.
“After completing the transaction just now, the top leader sent me a message advising us to be cautious during this period. These 50,000 points should be considered as compensation for us.” Fang Tianhe explained.
Ordinary mercenaries might still be a little confused about this reminder, but people like Roger had anticipated it.
Compared to others, Lin Xinghai was more concerned about the news itself.
The fact that the other party sent such a warning clearly proved that the Sky Fracture Mercenary Group had truly caught the attention of the higher-ups this time and had even received a degree of goodwill.
“Wow! The prospects of Sky Fracture Mercenary Group are even better than I imagined!” Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but feel impressed inwardly.
After the soldiers left, it was then the turn of the security team and the representatives from the mercenary guild to tally the gains of the Sky Fracture Mercenary Group.
In addition to this, some of the shelter residents who were strolling around the mercenary square also curiously gathered around at this time.
In fact, the return of the mercenary group and the tally of gains in the mercenary square also served as a demonstration of strength.
Because the details from tallying the gains of each expedition were not kept confidential. Instead, they were displayed on the large screens in the mercenary square for everyone to see.
This was done to show the people in the shelter just how lucrative the profession of a mercenary could be, encouraging more people to join the mercenary field.
At the same time, it served as an intangible incentive for the mercenary groups because it would be somewhat embarrassing if their gains were too little.
The first items to be tallied were the energy crystals. 435 energy crystals were not a small number.
When this information was displayed on the large screens in the Mercenary Square, the crowd of onlookers immediately burst into a buzz of discussion.
“With so many energy crystals, many level 2 mercenary groups don’t come back with this much even after one expedition!”
“Definitely not. Didn’t another level 2 mercenary group just return previously? The harvested energy crystals were less than 200.”
“Are you all just focused on the quantity? Haven’t you noticed that among these more than 400 energy crystals, there are actually more than 100 intermediate energy crystals?”
“This… the points that can be redeemed are probably more than 8,000!”
“I can tell you’re not familiar with the market rates. More than 8,000? This is definitely going to exceed 10,000, okay?”
The crowd of onlookers buzzed with discussion.
But it wasn’t over yet. When the large screens showed that there was a mutant zombie in the tally, the discussion suddenly turned into an uproar.
Such an uproar would attract more people to watch.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Roger couldn’t help but smile. This expedition gained the mercenary group both fame and fortune!
Of course, mutant zombies were not that easy to hunt.
Take the armored zombie as an example. If it weren’t for Fang Tianhe’s ability being super effective against it, even having three mechas could not defeat it. Worse still, there might be a serious casualty waiting for them.
The rest of the mutant zombies also had special abilities, so usually, only one or two mercenary groups were lucky enough to be able to hunt a mutant zombie in a week.
This time, the Sky Fracture Mercenary Group truly demonstrated its strength.
“Many of the equipment in the Spaceship Research Institute are well preserved. It’s a pity that we encountered a blood fiend. Otherwise, if we brought back some gadgets to sell here in the square, our reputation would probably rise further.” Xu Haishui blurted out abruptly.
Reputation was sometimes dispensable for a mercenary group, but sometimes it could be quite important.
For instance, when the Sky Fracture Mercenary Group was about to expand and needed to recruit fresh blood, the higher their reputation had been, the greater the likelihood of attracting talented individuals.
Just when everyone was thinking about the bright future for their mercenary group…
What no one noticed was that a thug squeezed through the crowd, glanced at Lin Xinghai, and left in a hurry.
If Lin Xinghai were to glance in this direction, he would recognize it was Wang Damao, who had come to collect protection rackets at the dormitory yesterday.
10 minutes later, Wang Damao ran back to a hidden corner near Lin Xinghai’s dormitory, panting.
“Boss, the Sky Fracture Mercenary Group is back.” Wang Damao reported.
“Where’s Lin Xinghai!? Is he dead?” Huai Feifu asked.
“No.” Wang Damao shook his head.
Hearing this answer, Huai Feifu’s face showed a hint of disappointment, “You didn’t die even if you are so weak. What a lucky fella.”
“Boss, with you stepping in, no matter how big his luck is, this day next year will be his death anniversary.” Wang Damao immediately flattered.
A smile appeared on Huai Fei Fu’s face, clearly pleased by the flattery, “But we can’t underestimate our opponents. We still need to make all the necessary preparations.”
As he spoke, he tapped on his wrist computer and sent a message.
