Chapter 69: The Wealthiest Person in Lantian, Airship Purchase

“Bloodfeast Souleater Spiders?”

Luo Jia was a little surprised; her beautiful eyes were wide open. She sprang to her feet. “What did you say? Bloodfeast Souleater Spiders? You have got the Bloodfeast Souleater Spiders?”

Ling Jiu nodded.

“Oh gosh! You have got the Bloodfeast Souleater Spiders! How could you be so lucky? This thing is a priceless ingredient for making the Water of Life for Heaven’s sake!”

Luo Jia could not hold back her excitement. “Show me. Quick!”

“Here?”

Ling Jiu looked reluctant. “I’m afraid they will dirty your office!”

“Screw it!” Luo Jia could not wait. “Just show me!”

“All right, then.”

With the wave of his hand, Ling Jiu took out a large osmium ball that held the Ten-Legged White-Ape Spider and Bloodfeast Souleater Spiders. The ball was so large that it took up half of the office room space.

Luckily Luo Jia’s office was large enough. Otherwise, she would have a hard time accommodating the corpse of this Class-5 Ten-Legged White-Ape Spider.

Ling Jiu removed the osmium soil to reveal the corpse of the Ten-Legged White-Ape Spider, covered in the Bloodfeast Souleater Spiders.

After being wrapped up for so long, all the Bloodfeast Souleater Spiders had died from suffocation. There was no parasitic fear.

“These are the Bloodfeast Souleater Spiders?”

Luo Jia picked up a Bloodfeast Souleater Spider and carefully studied it. “I have heard about these things. But this is the first time I am seeing one!”

Following that, Luo Jia took out a micro-PC to do validation, after which she called someone in to collect the samples.

They conducted anatomy on the Ten-Legged White-Ape Spider and took out all the Bloodfeast Souleater Spiders from its body.

The last step was to weigh them.

“You are rich, Ling Jiu!”

“The Bloodfeast Souleater Spiders weigh thirty-four pounds and eight ounces, valued at 47.4 billion dollars. I am so jealous of you!”

“You are the company’s general manager. That’s peanuts to you.”

Ling Jiu was equally excited at hearing the figure. Both Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent egg and Bloodfeast Souleater Spiders were windfall to him.

He could not believe that he could be so lucky. He must have found great favor with Heaven.

“Here’s the deal.”

Luo Jia continued. “The Bloodfeast Souleater Spiders are a treasure of heaven and earth. The company offers you 47.4 billion dollars and 474 contribution points for them. How about that?”

“Deal!”

After closing the deal, Ling Jiu’s personal net worth climbed to 81.4 billion dollars. That had not included the 904 contribution points he had.

There was no one—not even the general manager Luo Jia—richer than him in Lantian Base City.

“Congratulations! You have become the wealthiest person in Lantian!”

Praises and amazement filled Luo Jia’s eyes. She had been witnessing the rise of Ling Jiu, from a rookie to surpassing her, which took only eight months.

It felt so dreamy, so surreal.

“Thank you!”

Ling Jiu was grinning from ear to ear, feeling just as surreal.

Before transmigration, he had been in labor class, taking a few thousand dollars in wages. But after the transmigration, not only did he have become an arcanist, he had made 80 billion dollars in eight months.

The changes came so quick that he felt it surreal. But Ling Jiu was not complacent; his contribution points had not crossed the 1,000-threshold.

This shattered his dream of buying the Ultimate Gene Arcana.

“Got to save up!”

After chatting with Luo Jia for a while, Ling Jiu left the general manager’s office and returned to the appraisal department, where Master Wang and Li Kai were still busy doing their job.

“Captain Ling!”

“Captain Ling!”

Chen Feng and others greeted him.

“How is the appraisal process going?” asked Ling Jiu.

“We may not finish today because of the sheer number of harvests!”

“I have never thought of hunting too many Direbeasts could be a problem, too!” Huang Hailong gave a helpless smile.

“Don’t you all think so?”

The other team members nodded their agreement.

“Tell Master Wang and Li Kai we will have dinner together. Leave the unfinished appraisal for another day!”

“Okay!”

...

Three days had passed since then, and they finally completed the appraisal. The outcome was known.

On Ling Jiu’s side, there were seven Class-5, 468 Class-4 Direbeasts, 3,000 Greatmaw Ants, and 1,000 ant eggs, all of which worth 7.3 billion dollars.

Ling Jiu had hunted these Direbeasts alone, and so they all belonged to him.

Next up was the shared hunting portion, which included 176 Class-4, and 23,876 Class-3 Direbeasts, valued at 12 billion dollars.

The wilderness team had its own formula in dividing the 12 billion dollars, each member taking a cut according to his share of contribution during the hunting process.

Ling Jiu took most of the credits. Although he had not fought too much, his use of the Gravity Arcana rendering those Direbeasts defenseless had played a significant role.

For this reason, the team had agreed unanimously that Ling Jiu should be entitled to 30 percent, while the ten of them should divide the remaining 70 percent among themselves equally. Of course, Ling Jiu had no objection.

Just like that, he got another 3.6 billion dollars, pushing his personal net worth further to 92.3 billion dollars, just one step away from the 100-billion mark.

After breakfast, instead of practicing self-cultivation, Ling Jiu logged on to the Pangu Mall and browsed through the items for sales.

He wanted to reward himself for his hard work. What was the point of working so hard just so he could keep the money?

“I am going to get myself a maglev airship!”

There were many choices in Pangu Mall—from the cheapest, which cost one billion onward, to the most expensive, which cost tens of billions. Ling Jiu set his eyes on the maglev airships priced below 10 billion dollars.

After sifting through the selection and taking heed from the opinions of the senior forum members, Ling Jiu decided on a family-model maglev airship that cost 8.8 billion dollars.

This maglev airship was not as large as the government airship, but it still had 200-meter- squared internal space.

The cabin design was entirely family-style with a layout of four bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, and two bathrooms.

This meant that with this maglev airship, Ling Jiu could not only use it for hunting but also bring his family and friends for an outing. It was very convenient.

Besides, it had a weapon system that could kill Direbeasts of below Class-5 and stand Class-5 Direbeasts’ attack. It could attack and defend itself, definitely a bang-for-buck model.

Ordered.

Confirmed.

Paid.

.8 billion dollars were deducted from his account.

“The seller says he will deliver the order by afternoon. Next, I have got to look at the arcana manuals!”

Ling Jiu possessed five types of arcana: Earth Manipulation, Shadowform, Teleportation, Gravity Manipulation, and Tungsten Form.

Right now, there was only the Rock Giant Ultimate Manual for the Earth Manipulation arcana. There was no manual for the other four arcana.

He did not have the money last time. But he was different now; he had the money and would want to complete his collection of arcana manuals.

“First, look at the Shadowform!”
