"Don't overthink it, kid." Zheng Mingguang immediately saw through Jiang Chu's thoughts and said leisurely, "Although he's crippled and his overall combat strength has plummeted to 3900, some things in his talent can't be changed. I think it's easy for me to see through you, you little rascal."
Jiang Chu chuckled: "Master Guang, you are wise!"
"Stop farting, kid," Zheng Mingguang chuckled.
"I'm here to redeem my mission rewards," Jiang Chu said.
There are four types of missions: military missions, legion missions, college missions, and bounty missions.
Jiang Chu's previous ordinary missions were all military missions, while the missions to kill the new type of lord zombies were all bounty missions with extremely generous rewards.
The experience and KP rewards for these missions have been distributed in a timely manner, but physical rewards can generally be redeemed at outposts, supply depots, and arms shops.
Jiang Chu chose the arms store in order to get closer to Zheng Mingguang.
This is not flattery, but simply a humble attempt to learn more from the elderly.
Zheng Mingguang was naturally very happy and couldn't help but say, "With your abilities, you should be able to complete one or two D-level missions."
Jiang Chu chuckled, then opened the mission system on his military watch and began to connect with Zheng Mingguang.
"Wow! You're pretty good, kid! Five top-tier D-rank missions and four top-tier C-rank missions!" Zheng Mingguang was slightly taken aback, then laughed, "You must have had some expert guidance!"
"Yes, Sister Lin Han took me there on the subway yesterday," Jiang Chu said frankly.
"No wonder Lin Han doesn't like taking newcomers on adventures; she's afraid she won't be able to protect them."
"Yeah, in the second half of the game, Sister Lin Han persuaded me to quit."
"That's pretty good. Being able to participate in the battle against the mutated lord is quite an achievement for a newcomer!" Zheng Mingguang said.
"By the way, Uncle Guang, do you have any of the bones and tendons of the Day Demon Loran, or the short blades of the Day Demon, that you can buy?" Jiang Chu asked.
"Yes, we can recycle everything here," Zheng Mingguang said. "How about this, Xiao Chu, I'll give you the highest recycling price for everything, consider it a reward for the newcomer!"
"Uncle Guang, you're the best!" Jiang Chu said.
"You're just like Little Pumpkin, a master of flattery!" Zheng Mingguang laughed heartily. "Alright, let's get down to business first!"
Zheng Mingguang immediately settled accounts with Jiang Chu.
The KP gained in battles is different from the KP gained by Jiang's parents from their mining business.
Jiang's parents' KP (Knowledge Points) are not counted towards their military rank, so they do not help with promotions.
But Jiang Chu could.
At this moment, Jiang Chu discovered that his KP had reached a full 1 million. He was looking forward to seeing how high his military rank would be after joining the company.
"Uncle Guang, I always feel like I'm missing something," Jiang Chu said. "Do you have any suggestions?"
Zheng Mingguang nodded slightly: "Please wait a moment."
Xiao Hong was off work today, so Uncle Guang was watching the shop alone. However, he knew the shop very well. After rummaging through the storeroom, he took out an equipment box.
“You have two options: trade with KP, or trade with the C-grade alloy you have,” Zheng Mingguang said. “The price of this equipment is 1.8 million KP.”
"..." Jiang Chu's liver trembled upon hearing this. "Made of gold! So expensive?"
"Ha, is gold as valuable as this treasure?" Zheng Mingguang scoffed. "Kid, who do you think you are? I can only give you a 10% discount on this, that's the highest I can do."
Of the five D-level missions Jiang Chu completed, three were missions where he was first recommended to the lord. The rewards for being first recommended to the lord were very generous, so he accumulated a total of 15 kilograms of C-level alloy.
Currently, the exchange rate for C-grade alloy is 100,000 KP per kilogram, so 15 kilograms would be 1,500,000 KP.
From an exchange perspective, alloys are actually no different from KP; both are considered hard currencies.
Therefore, Jiang Chu said without hesitation, "Uncle, I'll trade all my C-grade alloys and a little bit of B-grade alloys for you!"
"Grade C is fine, but don't waste Grade B."
Zheng Mingguang said, "I suggest you save all 20 kilograms of Grade B alloy you obtained from completing the mission. We recently lost Damo City, and the area around Damo City is an important high-level mining area for us. The price of Grade B alloy is bound to skyrocket. You will need Grade B alloy for many things in the future, so you can keep it to make equipment for yourself."
"As for Grade C, you won't have many uses for it anymore." Zheng Mingguang pointed to Jiang Chu's equipment and said, "If you change your equipment again, you'll be going for a full set of Grade B. You've been improving pretty fast lately."
"Then we'll do it your way!" Jiang Chu nodded happily.
"Silly boy, open it and check the goods first, see if it's worth it," Zheng Mingguang said. "If you don't think it's worth it, you don't have to buy it."
“How could Uncle Guang’s choice be wrong?” Jiang Chu said.
"Sigh, you sycophant, even your apprentice is like you, a sycophant too," Zheng Mingguang sighed.
"My apprentice came by?" Jiang Chu asked as he opened the equipment box.
"Yeah, that kid came by. He kept apologizing to me after he arrived, saying he was blind and had no taste. He was so sweet-talking! But to be honest, that kid has made a lot of progress. He's a freshman at Tiannan Military University, but after going to the wilderness with you, a new recruit, his intelligence increased by 7 points." Zheng Mingguang sighed.
"I have a good way of teaching people," Jiang Chu said seriously.
"Go away and play somewhere else," Zheng Mingguang laughed and scolded. "You're just bragging!"
Jiang Chu smiled and opened the box.
