"Ding! Loot collected: 11.58 million Spirit Coins ×1, lowest-grade alloy weapons ×6, low-grade alloy weapons ×14, beginner-grade alloy weapons ×3, Rock Dissolving Ice ×3, Thunder Ghost Mushroom ×5…"
Less than ten seconds after Su Xiaobai issued the counterattack order, a series of system notifications sounded in his mind.
Soon after, a pile of loot dropped out of nowhere at the location Su Xiaobai had designated.
"What the heck? Loot?!"
Su Xiaobai was startled but quickly understood what was happening.
It turned out that the shadow not only obtained materials and treasures by killing monsters but could also directly plunder a person's entire fortune by killing them!
A massive haul of Spirit Coins, weapons, medicines, rare treasures, and supplies…
Judging from the loot list, it was clear that more than one person had ambushed the shadow—likely a team of wilderness warriors. The group must have been quite large and of significant strength!
"11 million… Damn, now I understand why those wilderness warrior teams like to rob and kill others… This is way faster than hunting beasts for materials!"
Su Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh.
Initially, he had only intended for the shadow to fight back to avoid getting destroyed, which would trigger a cooldown period, leaving him with no earnings for a day.
Who could have predicted that the shadow not only counterattacked but annihilated an entire warrior team? And it delivered all their resources and wealth as his loot!
The thrill of getting unexpected windfalls was indescribable.
No wonder wilderness warrior teams are in such constant chaos.
Killing an opponent means seizing all their spoils.
This kind of operation is far more lucrative than any other way of making money!
"Eleven million Spirit Coins—I've hit the jackpot!"
"System, upgrade auto-hunting for me, now!" Su Xiaobai eagerly shouted.
Faced with such a stroke of luck, Su Xiaobai wasn't about to waste it. He immediately decided to fully capitalize on the resources brought to him by these "supply transporters."
Without waiting for the system to prompt him, Su Xiaobai ordered an upgrade to the auto-hunting feature.
The system notification came through, and in the auto-hunting space, another shadow materialized.
"Deploy automatically!"
Skipping any complex prompts, Su Xiaobai gave the order directly.
"Automatic deployment successful!"
The shadow disappeared from its original location, teleported by the system to the designated monster-hunting area.
Su Xiaobai felt utterly refreshed.
Three shadows mean triple the earnings!
And if some clueless warrior dares to attack the shadows, a simple counter-kill will bring another wave of wealth rolling in. Just the thought of it is exhilarating!
"With the shadows now operating in new hunting grounds, my weekly earnings should increase by at least one to two times. Adding in the extra shadow, that's a three-to-fourfold boost in revenue!"
"By this calculation, I could be looking at nearly 20 million Spirit Coins in a week!"
Doing some rough math, Su Xiaobai could almost see mountains of gold shining before him.
"Ding! Dear host, it has been detected that all three of your system functions have reached Level 4. The system has prepared a new function for you—One-Click Alchemy!"
"For just 800,000, you can activate the One-Click Alchemy space!"
The system's sales pitch came again.
"One-Click Alchemy?!"
Su Xiaobai was taken aback before his eyes widened. "System, when you say One-Click Alchemy, are you referring to making Golden Creation Pills, Marrow Cleansing Pills, Spirit Enhancement Pills, Bone Regeneration Pills… that kind of alchemy?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel★fire.net
In this era, alchemy was even rarer than martial arts prowess!
Due to the limitations of spiritual energy, modern bio-pharmaceutical technology couldn't compare to the efficacy of pills.
Some pills could cleanse a warrior's meridians, facilitating transformation.
Others could heal wounds, no matter how severe, with incredible speed.
Some could restore stamina rapidly, enabling prolonged battles against monsters…
The value of pills in this warrior-dominated world was unimaginable! They were essential resources for every warrior.
And the ability to make pills was limited to an extremely rare group—alchemists.
Becoming an alchemist required innate aptitude for alchemy, a mysterious concept often described as elemental affinity.
Su Xiaobai didn't fully understand it himself.
In short, it was a rare and inexplicable talent that allowed one to resonate with elements like gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Those with this aptitude had the potential to become alchemists.
Because of its rarity, alchemists were extremely scarce, and their value immense.
Every alchemist was cherished by influential families.
Moreover, alchemists were not judged by martial cultivation levels.
Even an advanced quasi-warrior who was an alchemist could command tremendous respect because you never knew what kind of formidable force might back such an individual!
Su Xiaobai had never dealt with pills before.
He didn't need to hunt monsters outside the base or use resources to cultivate.
But that didn't change one key fact—alchemy was highly profitable!
Even a basic Golden Creation Pill cost 10,000 Spirit Coins.
For a slightly more advanced Spirit Boosting Pill, the price started at 50,000.
And a meridian-cleansing Essence Cleansing Pill? Invaluable!
Most importantly, some pills were so rare that no amount of money could buy them!
This made every alchemist a walking money tree. Who wouldn't want to cling to one?
"Yes, dear host, exactly that!"
"The One-Click Alchemy space allows you to produce pills 24/7 without interruption. You don't have to do anything manually. Just input the required materials and select a recipe, then wait for the pills to be ready!"
