As they approached the base, the eighth-rank Magical Corpse Beast attracted more attention. Seven or eight missiles and laser cannons locked onto the Magical Corpse Beast, ready to fire at any moment.
When the scouts on the watchtower saw them riding on the Magical Corpse Beasts, they knew that they were allies. But before they entered the city, the guards at the gate checked their badges to make sure that they weren't some high-rank beasts that had taken over their brains, enslaved them, and snuck into the base.
This kind of thing had happened before. Some were beast kings, while others were parasites. Since the base was the second line of defense outside the base city, the inspection was strictly enforced.
After the inspection, the guards couldn't help but take a few more glances at Su Ping and the others. They were impressed. With an eighth-rank Magical Corpse Beast as a mount, there was no doubt that this was a strong team!
"Sorry, large pets are not allowed in the base. Please put them back in your contract space." One of the guards said to Ye Chenshan politely. He recognized Ye Chenshan as a member of the top team, "Beichen."
Ye Chenshan cleared his throat, embarrassed. Ignoring the guard, he turned to Su Ping and said, "Brother SU, this is indeed the rule of the base. Why don't you leave your puppet mount outside the base for now?"
The guard and the other guards were stunned. Only then did they notice the unfamiliar and young Su Ping. They had thought that this young man was a student who had come with the team to gain experience and broaden his horizons. They didn't know that this horrifying mount belonged to him.
A rich kid?
But even a rich kid wouldn't be able to summon an eighth-rank mount unless he was strong enough.
"No need." Su Ping shook his head. "I'm going to turn this thing in and exchange it for merit points."
The Magical Corpse Beast was Little Skeleton's puppet. He couldn't put it in his contract space, and there was nowhere to put it back in the base city. Besides, large pets were not allowed in the base city. For him, the Magical Corpse Beast was useless except as a temporary means of transportation.
In terms of combat strength, the upper position of the seventh rank was strong, but with the Little Skeleton in his hand, one more wouldn't make a difference.
Moreover, he was here to complete the system's mission. He wouldn't come here often to fight, so there was no need for him to stay.
Furthermore, even if he needed to come back in the future, as long as he had the corpses of high-level Demonic Beasts, he could still make them into puppets.
Hearing Su Ping's words, the few of them were somewhat astonished. He actually exchanged for such a powerful mount? How prestigious would it be if he rode it out? Most people wouldn't even have the chance to ride it. How could he bear to do that?!
Fan Ganglie couldn't bear to part with the Nether Rock, so he tried to persuade Su Ping. However, Su Ping had already made up his mind. He ordered the Magical Corpse Beast to put the Nether Rock on the ground, then had Little Skeleton deactivate the puppet ability.
Whoosh.
The Magical Corpse Beast's undead energy was sucked dry, and it was reduced to a pile of bones.
The majestic mount had turned into a corpse at the moment. Fan Ganglie and the others were speechless. They felt regret and heartache. It was a pity that the mount was not theirs. They could only watch Su Ping ruin it, but there was nothing they could do.
The corpse of the Magical Corpse Beast could be transported into the base. Fan Ganglie found a transport team for Su Ping and transported both the Nether Rock and the corpse of the Magical Corpse Beast into the base.
"What a waste, what a waste," Fan Ganglie muttered along the way.
Fan Yujing and Li Ying smiled bitterly. Fan Yujing could understand Su Ping's thoughts. He knew that Su Ping was different from them. He wouldn't spend much time in the wastelands. Since he had no use for the Magical Corpse Beast in the base city, selling it was the right choice.
The corpse of the Magical Corpse Beast was transported to the resource exchange center, but it would take some time. While waiting, Ye Chenshan said to Su Ping, "Everyone, since we are back in the base, we should report back to the team."
"Okay." Fan Ganglie and Li Ying nodded. They respected Ye Chenshan very much. "See you again."
Su Ping nodded. "Bye."
"About the compensation, I'll contact you when I have time," Ye Chenshan said to Fan Ganglie and the others.
Fan Ganglie nodded. He believed that Ye Chenshan wouldn't go back on his word.
Before they left, Ye Chenshan and Luo Guxue exchanged contact information with Su Ping and Fan Ganglie.
"This is my address and identity in the base city. If you are interested, I hope you can come to our academy. With your strength and understanding of battle, I believe that you can teach a group of excellent battle pet warriors. They are our future," Luo Guxue said sincerely to Su Ping.
Su Ping took a small card from her. When he saw the name of the academy, he felt that it was familiar. It seemed to be … his sister's academy?
He looked at Luo Guxue's identity and found that she was an advanced teacher in this academy.
"I'll think about it." He put away the card.
Luo Guxue bowed again and thanked everyone for their help. Then she left with Ye Chenshan.
Soon, the reward for the Magical Corpse Beast came out. It was 1.6 million merit points!
Su Ping had learned from Fan Ganglie about the rewards and the value of merit points. 1.6 million merit points … was a huge number!
Killing a low-level first-rank Astral Pet would give 10 merit points, a second-rank Astral Pet would give 50 merit points, and a third-rank Astral Pet would give 100 merit points.
The fourth rank would give 1,000 merit points, the fifth rank would give 10,000 merit points, and the sixth rank would give 100,000 merit points!
The seventh rank would give 500,000 merit points!
The Magical Corpse Beast was an eighth-rank monster, so it was reasonable to give 1.6 million merit points. The average Magical Corpse Beast was at the intermediate position of the eighth rank.
"This is for the average Magical Corpse Beast." Fan Ganglie's face darkened when he saw the merit points.
The Magical Corpse Beast they had encountered was extremely talented, and it had learned a ninth-rank pet skill, "Death and Oblivion." It was reasonable to give two or three million merit points!
Fan Yujing and Li Ying were also frustrated. They had transported a corpse back, which had no power, so they couldn't prove how good the Magical Corpse Beast was.
Fan Ganglie was angry and unwilling, but he knew that it was useless to complain to the higher-ups. He could only admit that he was unlucky.
Su Ping didn't care. The merit points were enough for him to buy a lot of things.
Apart from the merit points, the hunter of the Magical Corpse Beast was also put under Su Ping's name under the recommendation of Fan Ganglie and the pioneer points that were the same as the merit points. In an instant, Su Ping jumped from an ordinary pioneer to a pioneer with a million silver merit points!
Above them would be the five million gold medal pioneers.
Above gold merit points were the honorary pioneers who killed ninth-rank monsters worth tens of millions of points and merit points.
