Swallowed Star - Chapter 93 The Effect of 100 Billion
Humans can be controlled by money, and a gigantic amount of it can make one go mad.
100 billion!
âPretty cruelâ Li Kan couldnât help but to take in a deep breath.
âEven Iâm affectedâ sighed Wang Tong as he shook his head, âJust what youâd expect from the director of the Huaxia sector, blood sister of one of the nine familiesâ Paulinus familyâs director. The rich are always going to be richâ. Even around the entire world, not many advanced level wargods have such wealth.
Yes, hunting horde leader level monsters and selling them is good money, but are horde leader monsters that stupid?
They have intelligence equal to that of a humanâs. Once they sense danger and feel like they have no chance of winning, theyâll choose to run away! Once a horde leader level monster decides to run away, itâll definitely command thousands of thousands of monsters to obstruct the wargodâs pathâŠâŠ even if they canât obstruct the wargod, itâll definitely slow them down.
So killing a horde leader level monster is extremely difficult! The stronger they are, the harder it becomes. So the usual situation is, âan advanced level wargod hunts a medium level horde leaderâ, âan intermediate level wargod hunts a low level horde leaderâ, and âa beginner level wargod hunts a high level commanderâ. The chances of success are higher this way.
For example, Wang Tong and Li Kanâs attempt to hunt the âsteel armored dragonâ ended in failure.
And the amount of monsters isnât limitless. The stronger the monster, the fewer there are! For example, when Luo Feng and the others of the fire hammer squad were in that small sector and hunted large amounts of commander level monsters, it became significantly harder to find them laterâŠ.. because the amount of commander level monsters in that area lowered. But this isnât the worst part, the worst part isÒ»Ò» youâll attract the attention of the commander level monstersâ leader, the âhorde leaderâ. The fighters are usually able to discover the danger after killing a lot, so theyâll run away. However, this also proves the point that killing monsters to earn money is no easy task. Most importantlyâŠâŠ wargods also have to spend tons of money. Things like weapons and battle uniforms, which one of these things doesnât cost a gigantic amount? A top tier instruction manual also costs so much that itâs frightening! Many wargods even have to borrow money from the bank.
Thereâs no helping it, wargods need to spend too much money.
For example, if an advanced level wargod fights against a âhigh level horde leaderâ, then heâll have to buy a âSS grade battle uniform setâ to be safe, since a Q series (S rank) battle uniform can only defend against most S rank horde leadersâ attacks, but not all of them.
SS grade battle uniform set, SS grade weapon, which one doesnât cost a fortune?
A SS grade instruction manual and even ultimate instruction manuals like the ïżœïżœNine Stage Thunder Bladeïżœïżœ are just as expensive! To fully equip yourself with the perfect gear, how many âmedium level horde leadersâ will you have to kill? This is something that most advanced level wargods wonât be able to achieve.
And donât even mention the special treasures available in the âPalace of Wargodsâ: those treasures are even more expensive.
It is no lie that many wargods on the entire earth have to borrow money from the bank! Of course, an extremely small amount of wargods are an exception. For example, wargods with special abilities like wargod level âspirit readersâ or wargods with extraordinary skills, or wargods with a huge background! Itâll be easy for the sons and daughters of âHongâ to get money, simply because of the influence of âHongâ.
The HR alliance is the worldâs top financial group. They control over half of the worldâs economy and have control in virtually every field.
Their wealth is also just as astonishing.
VeninaïżœïżœPaulinus is the director of the HR alliance in China and is the blood sister of the man who is both the head of the Paulinus family and a top executive of the HR alliance. Does anyone even need to ask about her wealth? Her wealth mainly comes from her family and the HR alliance, and not from hunting monsters. Even her husband, Li Yao, canât compare to her.

Jiang-Nan headquarter city, Limit Hall.
Zhu Ge Tao was wearing a black dojo uniform and sitting cross legged in a training room. As time flowed, the morning light slowly started to shine into the room.
âHuâ Zhu Ge Tao opened his eyes.
âOpenâ as Zhu Ge Tao spoke, the projector projected some light which formed a gigantic display onto the wall. Zhu Ge Tao has a habit: every morning, heâll check the news on T.V to figure out whatâs going on around the world.
The reporterâs voice echoed around the training room.
âWhat?â Zhu Ge Tao froze as he stared at what the morning news was describing on the display.
â100 billion?â Zhu Ge Tao blinked twice.
100 billion!!! Zhu Ge Tao fiercely stood up as his heart rate increased. This amount of money is too crazy. He, one of the Big Four of Jiang-Nan cityâs dojo of Limits headquarters, couldnât even control his surprisement.
âVulture and Scorpion, so itâs that couple! Well, makes sense. What kind of normal wargod can bring out 100 billion!â Zhu Ge Tao was amazed, âAnd this news broadcast was directed at the entire population in the country. In other wordsâŠ.. not only fighters, but regular people will know about this too. The HR allianceâs influence is sure great, being able to bring out this news on Chinaâs television channelâ
100 billion, even Zhu Ge Tao is affected! It seems like that he, Zhu Ge Tao, frequently offers some geniuses and powerful fighters many benefits. However, he does most of that with his special privileges in the dojo, so he barely has to take out his own money.
âEnter the Home of Limits, wargod fighter discussion sectionâ commanded Zhu Ge Tao.
The display suddenly and quickly changed as it entered the wargod fighterâs discussion section.
As an advanced level warlord, he doesnât have the rights. But as his identity as a chief instructor, heâs granted access to the section.
âHmhm, the entire discussion section has indeed become lively. It looks like fighters from South America, North America, Europe, Africa, and other places all have their blood boilingâ laughed Zhu Ge Tao, âHowever, this case happened in China, so this gigantic sum of money will probably end up in the hands of a Chineseâ
â100 billion is just like throwing a fat sheep into a pack of wolvesâ
Indeed, the entire world has been stirred up by this gigantic sum. Even existences surpassing the wargod level have to sigh at this. Since wargods are so moved by thisâŠâŠ donât even mention a regular citizen! Regular citizens are toiling just for their rent; even 100 million is an astronomical number for them. Donât even mention 100 billion.
Stirred! The entire world is stirred up! Virtually every information network couldnât help but to start investigating this case: find this person! #023 city was a huge city that contained hundreds of millions of people. #023 city is high risk high reward, so many fighters are attracted there.

On the eighth floor of some 12 story residential building in the western section of an old city.
âHuhuâ
The crazed winds howled and the snowflakes danced. The chilly air charged into the house incessantly, and the floor of the room was absolutely freezing. Luo Feng sat cross legged on a torn cushion as he lightly polished his throwing knives. The only thing in his mind was the astonishing news his tactical communications watch just received: the news of the astronomical bounty.
âI canât believe theyâre spending so much money on my bounty. Even I feel like reporting myselfâ Luo Feng lightly placed his throwing knife onto the ground, took out another knife, and started polishing it, â100 billion. However, the parents of Li Wei arenât fools. Theyâll only give the money to someone who can bring clear and absolute evidenceâ
Evidence?
Luo Feng doesnât think that thereâs anyone on this earth who has evidence of him killing Li Wei! Back then, to prevent himself from being caught by the satellite, he rushed straight into the fields after killing Li Wei and the others.
âUnless my luck is really that horrible. So horrible that there just happened to be someone hiding next to the highway and happened to record my face and my actionsâ but Luo Feng thought that the chance of this is no higher than the chance of fishing up a needle in the sea. Actually, the only thing Luo Feng is afraid of isâŠ..
His fire hammer squad comrades!
âThis bounty described the identity and skill of the other three people who died with Li Wei. And the bounty even said that the murderer is most likely either someone with the power of a wargod level fighter, or a spirit readerâ Luo Fengâs face sank, âIf the captain, Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and brother Chen see this, theyâll probably connect this to me!â
Without a doubt, the other four members of the fire hammer squad easily connected this bounty with Luo Feng! First, Luo Feng stayed in #003 city to kill the tiger fang squad. And one of the four people that died was the tiger fang captain, âPan Yaâ.
Next, the bounty itself said that the murderer is either someone with the power of a wargod or a spirit reader! And everyone in the squad knows that heâs a spirit reader. Extrapolating with the two points above is indeed very easy.
As a matter of fact, this was exactly the case. When this astronomical bounty was revealed, the other four members of the fire hammer squad were stunned as they guessed it was Luo Feng.
âJust because they can guess, doesnât mean they have evidence!â Luo Feng shook his head.
The fire hammer squad guessed it was Luo Feng.
And a few wargods guessed that the murderer was a wargod who had a grudge with the Vulture, Scorpion couple! Anyway, all of these are just groundless accusations: not one person had sufficient evidence.
âWhen Li Wei encountered danger last time, Li Weiâs parents instantly found the two closest wargods and asked them for helpâ frowned Luo Feng, âIn other words, Li Weiâs parents have enough power to instantly find the fighters in a location. If they can find wargods, then warlords and warriors would be even easier to findâ
From Luo Fengâs point of viewâŠ..
Locating wargods is much more difficult than locating warlords and warriors!
âTheyâll probably find out that I wasnât too far from the scene at the timeâ frowned Luo Feng.
This point is extremely disadvantageous! Actually, Luo Feng didnât know that wargods can locate other wargods through a system in the palace of wargods. Most wargods definitely canât locate other warlords and warriors. However, Luo Fengâs blind guess hit the mark, since Li Weiâs parents did indeed locate the hundreds of people around the area.
And he, Luo Feng, was one of them!
âIâm probably one of the suspects, but since Iâm weak, the chances of being caught should be quite lowâ frowned Luo Feng, âHowever, captain, brother Tie, brother Qing, and brother Chen⊠if one of them reveals the fact that I stayed in #003 city to kill the tiger fang squad and the fact that Iâm a spirit readerâŠ.. then, even though itâs not pure evidence, Li Weiâs parents will definitely make me into the ânumber one suspect'â
Suddenly, Luo Feng felt a vibration on his wrist.
He lowered his head and looked at the display on his tactical communications watch.
âA phone call from captain Gao Feng?â Luo Feng slightly frowned.
