Following that, Li Mochen and the others spent the entire day hunting down three dark creatures.
Although their numbers were fewer than before, they were all at the same level. Hence, their value was incomparable to before. The materials they had harvested this time could be sold for at least 650,000 gold duns. Li Mochen could get 48% of it, which was a little more than 310,000 gold duns. Compared to a week ago, their income had increased by leaps and bounds.
It was estimated that their income would increase by a lot the next day. Alisa had led them to a total of six targets today, and three of them had escaped.
These high-level dark creatures already possessed extremely high intelligence. After being shot by Li Mochen's sniper rifle, they would not foolishly stay where they were, nor would they rush over to fight them out of anger. They would use the terrain and their own abilities to find ways to escape.
However, this was caused by a lack of experience. Tomorrow's hunting should improve, so their income would increase as well.
However, that night, Li Mochen and the others had no choice but to camp in the wilderness.
There was actually no concept of night in the World of Darkness. There was no sun, moon, or stars in the sky. However, after midnight, a large number of Berserk Demon Waves would appear in this world until eight in the morning.
During this time, all the dark creatures would become abnormally violent. They would instinctively attack all non-dark creatures around them, and at the same time, their combat power would increase greatly. In serious cases, there would even be a Beast Wave. Hundreds of thousands or even millions of dark creatures would attack human settlements.
Hence, every day after eight in the evening, the professionals near Atlanta would gradually return to Specter City or the territories of the major families. They would not spend the night in the wilderness unless they had no other choice.
This time, when they were hunting a wild purple-scaled bull, they were delayed by more than half an hour. There was no way they could return to Specter City before midnight, so they could only temporarily spend the night in the wilderness.
Fortunately, apart from Li Mochen, the other five people here all had extremely rich demon hunting experience. Even if it was survival in the wild after midnight, they were all experts.
They quickly found a desolate ravine and temporarily opened up a sturdy cave. Using the formation plate that they had brought with them in advance, they built a temporary defensive formation in the cave. Then, they used their Teutonic Chariots to block the entrance.
"If you must spend the night in the wilderness, you must stay away from the herd of beasts. You must also ensure that there are no Magic Stones nearby. They also had to stay away from water sources. After all, if there was water, there would be living things. It was best to hide in a place like this where there were rock formations underground, which could isolate the threat from underground to a certain extent. Of course, if your strength is especially strong, comparable to a Demigod, then you don't need to care about this. "
Eliza and the others worked together to build the Zero Hour Residence. She even explained to Li Mochen all sorts of things to take note of, "The defensive array we brought with us is level-14. As long as we don't encounter a beast tide, we won't have a problem dealing with the surrounding dark creatures. Even if we were unlucky, there wouldn't be many dark creatures passing by the rugged terrain where we chose to set up camp. At this time, they will only follow their instincts and choose the easiest path. "
"I've read about these experiences in books."
As Li Mochen spoke, he was sending a piece of roasted wolf meat into the Dragon's Vein's mouth.
This fellow had just eaten a pot of Four Symbols Ten Treasures soup the day before yesterday and hadn't completely digested the vitality it had absorbed. It shouldn't have continued to eat meat like the Iron-Toothed Wolf meat. But there was no other way. He didn't bring much food this time, so this was all he could eat.
"Let's talk about you, Eliza. You should know that I won't be able to invest too much time in hunting dark creatures in the future, right? "
"Yes, I guessed it."
Eliza curled her lips. "Nathan Sports Group is doing their best to promote you. You're already very famous on the west coast of America. I estimate that in one or two months at most, there will be big companies looking for you to endorse. At that time, one or two endorsement contracts will bring you tens of millions of gold duns. Hunting dark creatures is dangerous for you and doesn't earn you money. I've already thought about it. We'll talk about the future in the future. Regardless of what happens in the future, let me make some money first. "
Li Mochen couldn't help but laugh. He had also learned about brand endorsements. He knew that endorsements for non-sporting products weren't prohibited by the NHSAA competition committee.
But the amount wasn't as exaggerated as Eliza said. At present, the top high school sports stars could only get an endorsement contract of three million gold duns a year at most.
This was related to the audience of high school sports stars. Most of their fans were students, and although the purchasing power of students was strong, it was limited to a limited number of products. The media's publicity for them was also far less than the superstars of the NMOSA League.
The NHSAA was indeed one of the most popular competitions in America, but its influence was shared among the various schools and divisions. The high school students in Atlanta wouldn't be interested in the high school sports stars of the east coast. Conversely, the students there wouldn't think that Li Mochen could be their idol.
Of course, Li Mochen could also take a few more contracts, but that would affect his studies and competitions. After taking the endorsement, he had to make time to participate in the filming of advertisements, and he couldn't be absent from activities organized by others. It was very troublesome.
Unlike the current sponsorship from Nathan Sports Group, because the contract didn't involve money, the Nathan Group's ability to restrict him was extremely limited.
For Li Mochen, if these endorsement contracts were too demanding, he might as well hunt for dark creatures in this world.
"I'll come here often in the future, but not as often as I do now. I think in two months at most, I'll reduce the number of times I come here. Even if I come, it might not be for hunting. But at that time, we can continue our cooperation in another way. "
Eliza raised her eyebrows with interest. "Continue. What kind of form?"
Deep down in her heart, she didn't want to be separated from Li Mochen just like that.
"Eliza, you can become an employee of our company."
Li Mochen extended the invitation with a serious expression. "In the near future, I'll hire a powerful outsider to be in charge of intelligence and security for our Xuri Company. I'd like to invite Eliza to be his deputy. "
"Employee?"
There was hesitation in Eliza's eyes.
"The salary will be generous. I can give you 600,000 gold duns a year. After you become an outsider, you can raise the price to 1,500,000 gold duns. "
Li Mochen knew that he couldn't be stingy with a professional like Eliza, who came from a prestigious family. In fact, Eliza Targaryen's abilities were close to the level of an outsider. She was a professional who was far more talented than William.
"The money is indeed less than what you'll earn here, but I'll still enter the world of darkness three to five days a month to hunt for dark creatures. We can still split the profits according to your contribution."
Eliza thought that the treatment was generous. She could probably earn four to five million gold duns a year. But for some reason, she subconsciously felt a little resistant. She always felt that after becoming Li Mochen's subordinate, she would lose some hope in certain aspects.
