When Sylvia arrived at the mercenary hall, she was met with a lot of bustling. Even though evening was the peak period when most mercenaries arrived from their hunts, the number of people at the mercenary hall this time was quite massive. It was so much that she could barely squeeze her way into the crowd. Forcing her way through, Sylvia finally arrived at the front desk, where Esme was working. “Phew.” She breathes out a sigh of relief. “Why are there so many people at the hall today?” Esme noticed Sylvia's appearance and greeted her. “Ah. Hello there, Sylvia. About the crowd, that's because of the hunting task issued on the mission board.” “The army needs more people at the front line to contend against the beasts, so most guilds are trying to sign up to farm more contribution points.” She explained. Suddenly, her eyes glanced across Sylvia's shoulder, as if searching for someone. “Where are Tyron and the others? Didn't they come along with you?” “No,” Sylvia shook her head. “We parted ways at the front line. Can you please exchange these materials for some contribution points for me?” She began to take out the materials she wanted to exchange from her ring. “Also, can I please see the beast cores that are available for purchase?” “Okay.” Esme instantly switched to business mode and began to sort out the materials on the table. Once she was done, she began to introduce the beast cores that were available to Sylvia. Sylvia looked at the screen and realized that there were only a few higher-rank beast cores displayed on the screen. Even the shops in the cities offer more higher-rank beast cores than this.Sylvia guessed that it must be due to the percentage share rule, as most mercenaries prefer to sell their hauls to private business owners, since selling them to the mercenary hall would only make them less money. Arriving at this, she could only tap on the cores she wanted and confirm her order. “That's all.” “Ah.” Esme's eyes widened in amazement when she saw the number of beast cores Sylvia wanted to order. However, knowing that the person in front of her was the renowned CEO of Creamery Creamer, she hurriedly shut her mouth and began to pack up the order. “Here is your order.” “Thank you.” Sylvia swiped her light brain over the payment terminal and then collected her order before turning to leave. When she finally emerged from the crowd, her hair and clothing were all ruffled from the push and shove. “Phew.” Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the box in her hand was intact. “Let's get going.” She lifted her foot, ready to head to the underground parking lot, where her car was parked. But before she could take a step, a loud roar came from the distance. “Move out of the way, everyone!” “Healer! Is there anyone with a healing ability around? We promised to reward you handsomely if you are one.” Sylvia paused her movement and turned her head in the direction the noise was coming from. In the distance, she sighted three men, all covered in blood. They seem to be lifting an injured person on the carrier behind them.The person on the carrier was still conscious and kept crying out loud. “My arm! Ah, my arm!” The faces of the three men were all gloomy, but there was nothing they could do to pacify the crying man. At least, what he had only lost was an arm. Unlike them, whose bodies were riddled with both external and internal injuries. What was even more devastating was the fact that they had just lost ten members of their team under the claws of the ferocious monsters. However, the crying man on the carrier only cares about his lost arm. 'Wait, why does that person look familiar?' Sylvia stared at the man who was being lifted on the carrier and suddenly realized why she felt that he looked very familiar. Isn't that Cedric and his men? Looking at the three men, who had a gloomy face all along, Sylvia could guess what had happened to the rest of the team. “Find me a healer right away, you bunch of losers.” Cedric cursed at the three men. “If you had all protected me from the beast tide, would I have lost an arm? I should have kicked you three into the mouth of the beasts and let you be their meals instead.” At his cunning words, the faces of the three men turned dark. Unfortunately, their expression was hidden under the bloodied face, which makes it undetectable. One of them clenched his fist, wishing he could punch Cedric in the face. Both he and his brother had been part of the Azulmeire guild. But who would have thought that to save this bastard, his brother would be used as a meat shield? His fist tightened harder, and sounds of bone cracking could be heard. However, Cedric, who was unaware of the danger coming at him, was still cursing nonstop. Sylvia felt like laughing out loud when she witnessed this scene. It looks like this is the last time a certain person will act so arrogantly. Sylvia lifted her foot and walked away. When she arrived at the parking lot, she sat in her car and opened the big box, revealing the dazzling cores lying inside. “Susu, are you there?” Sylvia waited for an answer, but there was no one. “Susu.” The only answer she got was silence. Thinking that something bad had happened to Susu, Sylvia's heart began to panic. But suddenly, the cores inside the box turned to white ashes. Sylvia felt relaxed when she saw this. “Susu.” She called again, wanting to confirm if the latter had woken up. [Host.] Susu's voice was weak, like someone who was just recovering from a sickness. “Are you feeling okay? Do you still need more cores?” Of course, there's no way the starving system would refuse the offer for more food. Although low, his voice seems to have regained some life. [Yes, host.] “Okay. The mercenary hall has no high-tier beast cores at this moment, so I will get it for you at the city mall.” [Okay, host.] Susu's voice was filled with excitement, and he started to hum happily.Knowing that the system was fine, Sylvia sank her consciousness into the contract space. There, she saw Sky sleeping peacefully under the hue of white light. Beside him was a dozing bee. It looks like the two have finally entered some sort of friendship. Seeing that the wolf king was still in its healing process, Sylvia withdrew her consciousness. She then started the car and put it in self-driving mode. - Which destination are you heading to?- The mechanical voice of the engine sounded in the car. “The Austens' Villa,” Sylvia answered, leaning her head against the headrest. Her mental energy was now exhausted, and all she wished for was to go home and have a fresh shower. -Destination, Austen's Villa. Beginning self-driving mode.- The hovercar began to elevate and soon drove out of the parking lot.
