Chapter 27

If it were a regular young person, they would definitely be swayed by the shop owner's smooth talk. But fortunately, Wang Ge is not a regular young person.

He smiled and shook his head slightly, "While theoretically that's true, it's impossible to complete all these tasks simultaneously. Perhaps the dog-like creatures' teeth can be preserved, but their exoskeletons will become brittle within a day after death. If not handled promptly, they will crumble by the next morning.

"The meat of the dog-like creatures is already quite tough and hard to chew when fresh. If left overnight, it will have the texture of a belt, and who would want to eat that?

"If the puppies of the dog-like creatures are not sold in time, raising them would be a problem. If they are left in a pet store for sale, the store is not responsible if they die. And if the puppies are successfully raised and sold, the pet store will charge a significant fee for their care.

"The three thousand or more sun coins you mentioned, I estimate that the actual profit would be at most between ten thousand and twenty thousand. But in comparison, fighting in underground boxing matches is easier to earn more, and facing two dog-like creatures alone is no less dangerous than a B-level boxing match."

Before coming, Wang Ge had, of course, done his research. He kept the existence of the white, slippery, egg-like object he named "albumen" a secret. Since it couldn't be found online, he decided to keep it as his own secret.

One "albumen" could save him over ten thousand in medical expenses, and with other tasks, Wang Ge felt this deal was worth it.

On the other hand, Usagi Tsukino's task was far too unsuitable. For the price of one thousand sun coins, the reward was not insignificant, but facing the threat of insect beasts, any injury would cost more than the reward. For an experienced hunter, avoiding the threats of insect beasts and mutant beasts would be easy, making the task a freebie. But for Wang Ge, even if he had the confidence to kill a dog-like creature one-on-one, the task was not cost-effective.

"Ah, hehehe..." The shop owner awkwardly withdrew his hand and rubbed his chubby chin, "While that's true, the durability of the Adamantine Dagger is long-lasting. For fifteen thousand sun coins, you can buy an Adamantine Dagger that will last a lifetime if properly maintained! You won't only hunt one dog-like creature in your lifetime, right?"

"That's true, but it's too expensive," Wang Ge regretfully shook his head. Although he could afford fifteen thousand sun coins, it felt like a heartache.

"Alright, how about this? If you know a boxer, you can ask your boxer friend to buy it for you, and I can give you a discount, say twelve thousand sun coins?" The shop owner deliberately stood on Wang Ge's side to help him make the decision.

"I am a boxer myself, but twelve thousand sun coins is still too expensive," Wang Ge thought with a troubled expression, "How about ten thousand sun coins, to make it a round number?"

"Really? Even if it's synthetic, it's still of diamond quality!" The shop owner began to haggle. After a series of negotiations, the shop owner finally gave in, and Wang Ge got the Adamantine Dagger for ten thousand sun coins.

The shop owner's three chins trembled as he decided to make up for the loss in other ways. He took out a vest that looked like a bulletproof vest and handed it to Wang Ge, "The Air Soft Armor, when worn, feels as light as air but has extraordinary defensive capabilities!

"Not even the claws of insect beasts or ordinary bullets can penetrate it! Such excellent Air Soft Armor, only ten thousand sun coins, young man, what's most important in hunting insect beasts? Safety! The Air Soft Armor, you deserve to have it!"

"..." Wang Ge was speechless, but he thought the shop owner had a point.

Safety is the most important thing; it would be tragic to earn money but not have the life to spend it. So, the Air Soft Armor, he definitely needed to buy it, but the price...

After another round of haggling, Wang Ge finally paid fifteen thousand sun coins and took away the Air Soft Armor and the Adamantine Dagger. There was no way around it; a poor person's child knows how to manage their money.

The shop owner's face was trembling with fat as he watched Wang Ge's back and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: It was a close call, almost a loss...

Wang Ge walked out of the shop with his backpack, thinking that since he was here, he might as well visit Quanmao.

At this time, if Quanmao wasn't practicing, he would definitely be in the boxer's lounge.

The independent boxer's lounge, with B-level and above, was luxuriously decorated, with various snacks and drinks available, and equipped with massage therapists, nutritionists, and more, making it very comfortable.

Wang Ge had just reached the B-level boxer's lounge floor when he stepped out of the iron frame elevator and saw a burly one-eyed man walking towards him, it was Er Hui!

Er Hui's face was dark, and as he walked alone, he exuded a strong sense of hatred, like a lone hungry wolf in the wilderness.

When he saw Wang Ge, the single eye of Er Hui suddenly flared with venomous killing intent, and he shouted, "Hey!"

As he shouted, Er Hui unleashed his full speed, running like a car accelerating from a standstill, and in a gust of wind, he rushed to Wang Ge. When he was three meters away, Er Hui used the momentum to jump up, his legs swinging like a windmill.

His left leg was curled, and all his strength was concentrated on his right leg, like an arrow about to be released.

The tightly stretched heel of his right leg was the arrowhead, piercing the air with a sonic boom, and it aimed to nail Wang Ge's chest.

Wang Ge's face changed, but despite the suddenness, he remained calm. He slightly bowed his body, and with his hands in front of his chest, he waited for Er Hui's kick. When Er Hui's foot came, Wang Ge quickly twisted his arms, which were held vertically, into a cross.

The crossed arms formed a cross, blocking Er Hui's leg from below and pushing it upward with a swift motion!

"Ugh..." Wang Ge's arms sank, and although he redirected the force of Er Hui's kick, he still felt a strong pain in his arms.

Er Hui was pushed back, and his powerful kick turned into a high shot.

As a B-level boxer, Er Hui reacted quickly. When his right foot missed, he quickly shifted his center of gravity, leaned back, and kicked with his left leg, a heart-stomping kick.

After five years of training, Wang Ge had seen countless boxers.

He had already anticipated Er Hui's follow-up move. After blocking Er Hui's leg with his crossed arms, he immediately stepped forward, turned his body sideways, and just in time avoided Er Hui's heart-stomping kick. Then, like a charging bull, he rammed into Er Hui with his shoulder!

Er Hui, in mid-air, had no support and was instantly sent flying.

But his reaction was also quick. When Wang Ge hit him, Er Hui immediately grabbed Wang Ge with both hands and, as he was thrown back, dragged Wang Ge along with him.

Wang Ge had anticipated this move and tried to dodge, but it was too late. At such close range, and with Er Hui's Level 8 life force, his speed completely overpowered Wang Ge.

But Wang Ge also used the momentum to push his elbows forward into Er Hui's chest, forcing Er Hui to change his plan and throw Wang Ge to the side with a horizontal swing of his arms.

"Bang—"

Before hitting the wall, Wang Ge adjusted his body to a slight angle, and when he hit, he quickly rolled to cushion the impact.

Although there was a dull thud and a large piece of the wall was scraped off, Wang Ge was not injured, only his exposed arm was slightly scratched.

Er Hui, before landing, used his hands to brace himself on the ground, twisted his waist, and performed a forward flip to dissipate the force.

In a flash, the two had completed a round of combat, all offensive moves, and rapid changes, like a spectacular martial arts performance.

Before Er Hui's feet touched the ground, his legs were already bent, like a coiled spring. As soon as he landed, he sprang up to continue his attack on Wang Ge. Suddenly, he felt a fierce wind from behind and turned to see Quanmao's iron fist already coming!

"Bang!"

In a hurry, Er Hui twisted his body in mid-air and kicked at Quanmao. This forced change of direction was weak, and Er Hui didn't intend to kill Quanmao, only to force him back.

But Quanmao didn't dodge or avoid, completely ignoring Er Hui's kick, and delivered a powerful punch to Er Hui's abdomen, causing Er Hui's body to curl up like a shrimp.

"Spit—"

Er Hui's body curled up and hung in the air for a moment, and he spat out a mouthful of old blood, which included fragments of internal organs.

Quanmao, on the other hand, was hit by Er Hui's kick on his shoulder, causing a bone to crack.

But he seemed to feel no pain, and with a quick step forward, he swung his leg like a soccer kick, aiming at the curled-up Er Hui on the ground.

But the seemingly lifeless Er Hui suddenly sprang up, not only avoiding the kick but also delivering a powerful elbow to Quanmao's knee!

At that moment, Wang Ge, with perfect timing, delivered a sweeping kick, hitting Er Hui's chin just before he could strike Quanmao!

"Bang—"

Er Hui was instantly sent flying, spewing blood, and crashed into the wall!

Quanmao, who was about to break Er Hui's knee to exchange for a double ear strike, quickly retracted his move to avoid hitting Wang Ge. He and Er Hui were evenly matched, and the winner would be the one who was more ruthless, but even if he won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.

But Wang Ge's timely intervention resolved his crisis, and Quanmao quickly retracted his move to avoid hitting Wang Ge.

Wang Ge, having already calculated his move, rotated his body after the kick and nimbly avoided Quanmao's iron fist.

At that moment, a stern voice echoed in the corridor, like a thunderclap, making the entire corridor buzz.

"Stop! Or die!"

It was Water Brother's voice, but he didn't appear. He had seen the fight between Er Hui, Wang Ge, and Quanmao through the surveillance and used the intercom to issue a stern warning.
