The Hunter System
Chapter 35 - Sales Results
After all the extraction was completed, the team from the Processing Center called Alvin and his colleagues into a room to discuss and sign some of the purchase documents they made.
.........
“Please see Mr. Rufino,” said the marketing manager to Alvin, while submitting the sale and purchase documents of the raid to him.
Alvin was a bit confused when the man spoke to him instead of talking and handing over his documents to Raymond, even though Raymond was the captain of their team.
Raymond could understand the look of Alvin. He then nodded slowly, then allowed Alvin to check it out. After all, he knew that they would not succeed in closing the gate without Alvin's help.
Alvin finally opened the document.
After reading all the contents of the document, he looked at the marketing manager again with frowning brows.
“Why are those monsters so cheap? Aren't they C rank monsters?”
The manager scratched behind his ear. That's what he really wants to talk about.
At that moment, Jack Paul happened to come and join them.
Jack who had just returned from the processing room to check the results of the absorption of the Mana monster core that the team of scientists had done, already understood why the manager looked agitated.
Jack eventually took the initiative to replace the manager to explain what happened.
"Mr Rufino, I just came back from the processing room and looked at the data that the team of scientists got after they performed the absorption on the Mana core."
"Is something wrong?"
"Yes. I think this is the first time this has happened in 25 years."
"What's that?"
"Those monsters don't have Mana cores."
Alvin was surprised. However he immediately hid his surprised expression as he instantly realized something.
'System. Was it when I killed the monsters, Rimi instantly absorbed the slain monster Mana core to serve as my experience point?'
["You're right. You also feel that Mana energy is absorbed into your body every time you kill a monster, right?"]
'Yes. That's why I asked.'
.........
Alvin rubbed one of his palms against his face as he occasionally glanced at Raymond and his comrades who were puzzled to hear what Jack had said just now.
They have agreed to sell the results of experience point extracts to get a greater profit. Alvin had already said that they would benefit greatly if they were to transport all the corpses of monsters out of the Dungeon.
"Dead me," Inner Alvin.
Alvin then looked at Jack while laughing awkwardly.
"I think I can beat them easily. It turns out that they don't have a Mana core huh...?"
"That's impossible. The Mana energy in their skin, bones and flesh was still there. They won't be able to have it if they don't have a Mana core" Jack said.
"You're a jerk, Jack! Why are you even making it clear?!" alvin in the Heart. He then turned to Raymond, who was looking at him with a suspicious look, "Ah., he must have known I was lying because he was almost killed by the lizardman," thought Alvin.
"Not to think about. Well, what's the total payment of all the results of the raid?" alvin asked, flipping through the documents in his hand.
“Both all the corpses of monsters and magic crystals, after the processing fee cut, you and the team will receive 45,000 dollars," said the manager.
Alvin nodded softly as he handed the documents in his hands to Raymond and his friends.
'Mana essence turned out to be very expensive. We should have received 200,000 dollars, right?'
["Yes. So take good care of your body. From now on you'll be a walking money factory."]
'I'm not talking to you!'
["I'm just humming."]
'...'
"alright. Will we accept cash?"
The manager immediately handed Alvin a box of electronic money.
"This is the payment, Mr. Rufino."
"Thank you" said Alvin, taking the box and handing it to Raymond.
.........
"Isn't that a strange thing, Mr Paul?" ask the marketing manager to Jack, who is still staring at the door of the room that Alvin just closed.
"Yes. It's impossible for a monster without possessing Mana energy" Jack said in a flat voice.
"Have they absorbed his Mana core in a private processing plant before bringing the bodies here?"
Jack knew that it was impossible because he had been with them since the corpses had been removed from the Dungeon.
Jack turned and stood facing the manager. He also patted the marketing manager's shoulder gently while smiling meaningfully.
"Please keep this a secret from anyone. I've also asked the head of the team for the same thing" asked Jack, who then left the manager after getting a quick nod from him.
......................
"Bro, what's really going on?" asked Raymond who was walking beside Alvin, while his six colleagues walked behind them while still reading the contents of the sales document.
"I don't know. But, aren't you guys going to get 35,000 dollars beyond the price of all the magic crystals? Wasn't it worth the price of transporting the corpses of monsters? You take all that 45,000 dollars. This time I'm just helping."
Raymond laughed awkwardly while scratching his head. That's a lot more than the work he does. He felt surprised just because he had imagined the things that were not with his colleagues when calculating that they would at least get 80,000 dollars from the raid after sharing with Alvin.
"Y-yes... That's actually a lot.., thanks for your help."
"Well, I guess there's nothing to argue about, right?"
"You're right..."
["You're evil."]
'Which part is evil? I killed those monsters all by myself. And again I said that we would at least get 75,000 dollars, right? Well, suppose I take 30,000 dollars from my 50% share%. Aren't they still lucky?'
["You suddenly become smart when it comes to money."]
'Everybody would be smart when it comes to money.'
["All right.."]
'... What do you mean by well that?'
["Stop."]
'You want to say I'm actually stupid if it's not about the money, right?!'
["You said it."]
'You...'
Alvin suddenly fell silent as he sensed the magic aura from the huge Mana energy that was coming towards him.
He then gazed to the end of the corridor, at a curvaceous woman in her late 20s and was walking with a confident step as a woman walked towards them.
Behind the woman, there were dozens of hunters still wearing full armor, with a lot of blood and sweat all over their bodies, as if they had just returned home from a heavy battleground.
.........
"Bro, you better pull over" said Raymond quietly, pulling Alvin's arm over to the corridor wall.
Alvin. He had no problem succumbing just to a public street to anyone, except those from the Lewis family whom he hated so much.
Alvin, Raymond and his six companions immediately lowered their heads slightly, replying to the female hunter's greeting who had first lowered his head while smiling kindly at them.
"According to the news of the birds and many people mentioned in the media. He's the only strong hunter who's very friendly" said Raymond quietly, admiring the woman.
"Hey, don't look at him too long. Know it? It's rude to stare at a woman like that for too long" said a male hunter who walked in the back row.
"Sorry, Mr. Garin," said Raymond quickly, knowing who reprimanded him.
Joey Garin grinned broadly at the sight of Raymond looking terrified. However, his grin instantly disappeared upon seeing the tall, thin man standing beside Raymond, staring at him sharply.
"Suckers. Just startle me!" joey said in his heart, he was surprised when he saw the gaze of Alvin who was like an eagle was stalking its prey.
"Why are you staring at me like... I..Tu...?" Joey paused for a moment before finally realizing who the man standing before him was, "You're Alvin Rufino? Fugitive of the S City Association, right?!"
Hearing what Joey said aloud, everyone who had walked ahead of him turned and stared at them.
