Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 626: Killing the Cleaner
“Such generous rewards!”
Su Yuan couldn’t help but exclaim with emotion. Killing just one of the lowest-level Scavengers could net him ten billion Merit Points.
This was much faster money than an ordinary Artificer could make.
“The Third Frontline has gathered a large amount of Chaos, naturally forming an attractive source that continuously draws Scavengers over. The Chaos level here is relatively low, so the Scavengers attracted are also of lower rank. It also serves as a training ground for low-tier Chaos Dominators.”
Su Yuan pondered. With his current strength, slaughtering too much here would not only reduce the normal number of Scavengers available for trial, but the efficiency of obtaining Merit Points would also be very low.
“Right, that Jia Jicheng mentioned before that a group of Scavengers from the Second Frontline was approaching Black Flame City. This group contains high-level Scavengers around the fortieth tier. I could try to see if I can deal with them!”
A thought stirred in Su Yuan’s mind, and he immediately began searching.
“Based on Black Flame City’s arrangements, they would definitely assign people to conduct observations…”
Su Yuan immediately mobilized his [Mental Echo], searching for soldiers stationed outside the Third Frontline.
His fame had now spread throughout the Third Frontline. Those scouts maintaining contact with Black Flame City should also know his name.
“Found them!” Su Yuan’s gaze sharpened.
Outside the Third Frontline, there were thousands of scouts forming a fan-shaped area, monitoring the situation in a certain direction.
Su Yuan instantly teleported beside a soldier at the very edge.
That soldier did not notice Su Yuan. He was still observing the situation in the distance. When he sensed the scouting tools he had set up being worn away by Scavengers, he immediately reported the progress of the Scavenger assault to the rear.
Seeing this, Su Yuan advanced further forward to investigate.
After some time, he finally saw the figures of a group of Scavengers.
This was a group numbering over three hundred Scavengers. Most were humanoid, but there were also many strange beasts and even more abstract forms.
Their forms were noticeably more solid compared to the Scavengers encountered before, and the aura they emitted was also much stronger than the previous ones.
The weakest among them were Scavengers comparable to thirty-seventh tier Chaos Dominators!
The strongest one had shockingly reached a terrifying forty-sixth tier, looking extremely formidable.
For such a group of Scavengers to be heading towards Black Flame City, it could be said to be a huge challenge for the city.
After spotting his target, Su Yuan immediately retreated, then circled around, arriving at the very rear of this Scavenger group.
The one lagging at the back was a thirty-seventh tier Scavenger. Its speed was the slowest, so it naturally fell behind.
It was following the Scavengers ahead when suddenly a suction force appeared from behind, causing its body to pause slightly.
It turned its head to look and saw Su Yuan’s figure.
“Stubborn target detected. Proceed to eliminate!”
This Scavenger had no intention of calling for other Scavengers. It charged directly at Su Yuan alone.
Su Yuan turned and fled.
With one man and one Scavenger in a chase, they quickly broke away from the main Scavenger group ahead.
Only then did Su Yuan stop in place, his gaze icy as he stared at the pursuing Scavenger.
“Target employing diversionary tactic. Suspicious activity likely. Immediately contact nearby Sca…”
Before this Scavenger could finish its muttering, Su Yuan’s True Name Sword had already descended.
With a full forty-fifth tier comprehension of true intent, combined with the amplification bonus of the True Name Jade Disc transformed into the True Name Sword.
The power of this strike reached a terrifying level.
With one sword slash, it directly shattered all of this Scavenger’s defenses and struck the core of its origin will.
Thus, the Scavenger that had just chased out dissipated into thin air, leaving behind only a Dominator-grade metal material on the spot.
The entire killing process didn’t even take the blink of an eye.
Su Yuan’s base combat power at the forty-fifth tier was infinitely superior to the thirty-seventh tier, so this result was not surprising.
Storing away that piece of metal with a glance, it was a good thirty-seventh tier material that could be used to forge Dominator Artifacts or enhance physical body strength.
This material alone was worth several dozen Kalpa units.
And the combat Merit Points obtained were also substantial, a full seventy Kalpa units!
“The rewards for killing Scavengers are still quite considerable!”
Su Yuan couldn’t help but sigh again, then stealthily infiltrated back once more. He targeted another Scavenger, generating a powerful suction force that forced that Scavenger to stop in place.
Within the Scavenger group, that forty-sixth tier existence frowned slightly and turned to look back.
But the Scavenger from just moments ago was already gone.
He frowned. “Targets are lurking in the rear. Two companions have disappeared. Gather immediately.”
Scavengers possessed intelligence and naturally noticed their team’s numbers had decreased.
Thus, they immediately took countermeasures. All Scavengers moved closer together, their auras interlinked.
After Su Yuan killed the second Scavenger and returned to look, he noticed the change in the Scavengers.
At this point, Su Yuan himself felt troubled.
He pondered for a moment and thought of his fishing Dominator Artifact.
He retreated some distance again, then cast out his fishing rod.
Because the distance was very close, the Mysterious Fishing Rod could directly lock onto the target’s location without needing to fish randomly.
Within the Scavenger formation, a thirty-seventh tier Scavenger at the very rear suddenly discovered a conspicuous fishing hook appearing out of thin air before it.
On the hook was a dense mass of Chaos Origin energy, causing the Scavenger to frown involuntarily.
“Eliminate target!”
This Scavenger directly released a strand of Nothingness energy, annihilating this mass of Chaos Origin.
The fishing hook, after appearing, had already locked onto this Scavenger.
The hook caught it and began dragging it back.
In just the blink of an eye, this Scavenger was fished up by Su Yuan.
Su Yuan lifted the fishing rod and saw a Scavenger appear before him, fresh and glistening.
This Scavenger immediately began to resist.
Su Yuan responded with a backhanded palm strike, slamming down heavily.
The Scavenger, who had just laid eyes on Su Yuan, didn’t have time to figure out what was happening before being annihilated by Su Yuan’s palm!
Terrifying destructive power instantly ground the Scavenger’s body before him to nothing, leaving only a complete will crystal floating in place.
Waves of will impact emanated from the will crystal but were easily withstood by Su Yuan.
“This will crystal is actually purple!”
A thought occurred to Su Yuan. “Could it be that the Purple Vein Stone Pillars are constructed using these will crystals?”
Su Yuan had a conjecture. He sealed this will crystal in place and stored it within the interior of his Nine Stars Land.
