Ren Zhong nodded calmly, "The new mining site in Chongyi County, huh? Half a month? That’s quite a while."
"You should sign the contract with the company today. When Lin Wang returns, I will personally speak on your behalf, asking you to give him the commission he should have earned during his half-month absence. This way, he can save face, both inside and out."
Ren Zhong: "Mm! A very good arrangement!"
"From now on, you’ll be colleagues. For my sake, he won’t easily give you any trouble. How does that sound?"
Ren Zhong was overjoyed, "Thank you, Mr. Yang! I will never forget your kindness!"
Yang Bingzhong finally smiled, "Alright, go ahead, the contract is next door. Stick with me, and I naturally won’t treat you unfairly. Your life... won’t be confined to the small place of Starfire Town. There is a vast sky waiting for you outside. With your abilities, it’s not impossible to become a Citizen again in five or six years. Go ahead."
"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Yang!"
As he stepped out of the room, Ren Zhong paused briefly, then glanced back with a grateful look at the tightly closed door of Yang Bingzhong’s office, before heading next door.
That glance was full of drama.
Is this the so-called way the superior governs subordinates?
If Yang Bingzhong’s mediation really works, then great.
In that case, he would at least have half a month.
Ren Zhong slightly clenched his fists.
No matter what, taking that risk was not in vain, everything is developing in a good direction.
Fifteen minutes later, Ren Zhong and Zheng Tian stood shoulder to shoulder in front of the sales platform’s control panel, watching as the female staff member, who voluntarily worked overtime, entered prices one by one, her eyes widening.
With so many people around and listening, Ren Zhong hadn’t mentioned to Zheng Tian the switch to the Second Level contract, only reminding the staff member to use his account instead.
Leaving aside Level Four Ruined Beasts, let’s first talk about the second and third levels.
Normally, a Crystal Chip from a Second Level Ruined Beast could fetch a value fluctuating between 15~30 points.
This time the team brought back a total of 42 pieces, with a calculated total price of 1218 points, an average price of 29 points, earning 135.33 points more than usual.
This 10% difference might not seem significant normally, but when it comes to tallying the totals, you realize how much has been siphoned off without notice.
The discrepancy was even bigger with the Third Level Ruined Beasts.
A total of 21 Third Level Crystal Chips sold for 1911 points, earning 212.33 points more.
Additionally, there were three Third Level Crystalized Pangolin carcasses, which fetched a price that gave both of them a shock.
Previously, the normal price for a Third Level Ruined Beast’s carcass was 40 points.
But this time, Starfire Resources offered a reward of 150 points each, totaling 450, with 10% tax deducted, bringing back 405 points.
The price increase for the Level Four Crystalized Pangolin carcass decreased slightly, valued at 600, with the Crystal Chip valued at 1200, totaling 1800, bringing back 1620 after tax.
When the final price for the Dream Weaving Maze Stink Bug was revealed, Zheng Tian was completely stunned.
The procurement price for the Crystal Chip and carcass was 1500 each, adding up to 3000, bringing back 2700 points after tax.
The team’s total income for the day was a whopping 7854 points, nearly equal to Zheng Tian’s previous team’s income for half a year.
Even when all costs were deducted, there were still 6600 points of profit.
Zheng Tian was so shocked her lips trembled, her mind went blank.
Ren Zhong’s performance was much better, after all, he was once a "god-tier wealthy" with thirty thousand in hand.
A mere few thousand points was nothing to make a fuss about.
He was even able to converse with the female staff member, curiously asking, "I know that Level Four Ruined Beasts have a wide range in Energy Level Index, so the prices vary greatly. But it seems your offer is somewhat high. Why is the price for the Crystalized Pangolin and the Dream Weaving Bug so much higher than that of ordinary Level Four Ruined Beasts?"
The girl was already familiar with Ren Zhong, and now that his status had risen, she became even more enthusiastic.
Her original profession was a Demolition Master, and now she works here as a procurement officer, having seen a lot and naturally understanding a lot.
She explained with a smile, "This is what makes the abandoned mining pit unique. Although there are no valuable rich ores in the abandoned mining pit now, the soil and rocks still contain a large amount of ionic metals and elements. These things definitely have an effect on the Ruined Beasts. The Ruined Beasts produced in the abandoned mining pit, compared to those outside, even with similar Energy Level Index, have body structure and Crystal Chip performance that are somewhat superior."
Ren Zhong: "Is that the only reason?"
"Of course, what else could it be? Take the Crystalized Pangolin, for instance. Its shell, internal circulation system performance, tongue toughness, and flexibility are much stronger than those of the ordinary Crystalized Pangolin outside. And the Dream Weaving Maze Stink Bug is a specialty of the abandoned mining pit. Just look at the poison sac at its rear, which produces and releases particles that can interfere with human thought processes. It’s a true specialty, exclusive to the abandoned mining pit; how could it not be valuable?"
