"A- rank..."
Upon hearing Sam's voice, the The receptionist's expression shifted, and she turned her gaze toward the head of the Mutated Beast.
"Excuse me, sir, how good is this Mutated Beast's corpse?"
After determining the approximate rank of the Mutated Beast, the The receptionist inquired of Sam.
"Aside from the head, there is no damage to other parts." After speaking, Sam pointed toward the lobby. "Your lobby here can barely fit it, but it's not spacious enough."
"I see, I understand the situation. A-rank Mutated Beast corpses are very rare; I need to consult with my superiors first. My apologies, sir."
After saying this, the The receptionist took out a personal terminal and began dialing a number.
The call was quickly connected, and she began reporting the current situation.
Not long after, the The receptionist put down the terminal and then said to Sam and the others:
"Sir, Miss, please come with me."
With that, the The receptionist walked out and headed toward the elevator on the side of the lobby.
The two followed the The receptionist into the elevator, and before long, the elevator reached the eleventh floor.
Just as they stepped out of the elevator, a lady was already standing at the door waiting for their arrival.
"Hello, I am Lux, the Vice President of the Grenource branch of the Mercenary Association. Lisa, you may head back now; I will receive them."
"Alright, I'll be going down then."
The young lady from the front desk, referred to as Lisa, bowed to the three of them after receiving the instruction and then turned to step back into the elevator.
"You all are here to sell an A-rank Mutated Beast corpse, correct?"
Seeing lisa leave, Lux turned to look at Sam and the others as she asked.
Hearing this question, Firefly did not answer directly. Instead, after glancing around, she said slowly:
"It seems even smaller here than the lobby on the first floor. Where do you intend to store the corpse of this Mutated Beast?"
Although she hadn't answered Lux question directly, this sentence was enough of a clear response.
"You don't need to worry about that."
After Lu Jianyi spoke, she picked up something resembling a remote control.
After pressing a button, a door emitting a faint blue-purple light opened up.
"This room is a Compressed Space. It can create a vast space within a limited area. You can place the Mutated Beast's corpse inside here, and then we will send professional personnel to conduct a value assessment."
Having said that, Lux took a step inside first.
'Space compression technology? I only ever saw it in games in my past life; I wonder what it's like in reality.'
With a sense of curiosity, Firefly led Yui into the room emitting the faint blue-purple light.
After passing through the barrier composed of blue-purple light, Firefly was somewhat stunned by the scene before her eyes.
Clearly, from the outside, the room should have been about the size of an ordinary room, but after entering, Firefly saw a very empty place, similar to a training ground.
By her estimation, it was at least the size of a football field and over twenty meters high; the area was simply unbelievably large.
It was hard to imagine that this was actually the internal structure of what looked like a small room.
"Ugh..."
However, before Firefly could recover from her astonishment, a retching sound interrupted her thoughts.
The sound came from beside her. She looked down at her side and saw Yui, whose complexion looked a bit poor.
"It seems your friend is entering a Compressed Space for the first time."
Seeing this, Lux, standing in front, gave a light chuckle and then continued:
"Due to the special nature of Compressed Space, basically everyone who comes here for the first time will experience dizziness and nausea because their brain can't adapt to the sudden spatial change. This feeling causes even A+ rank powerhouses some slight discomfort, so your friend's current condition is perfectly normal."
'So that's it. However, I didn't feel the discomfort she mentioned at all. As expected, as long as one is strong enough, many unpleasant things can be avoided.'
Hearing Lux's explanation, Firefly thought while feeling the power within her body. Then, she shifted her gaze away from Yui and moved to an open space, taking out the head and body of the Giant Spider and placing them on the ground.
"This is the corpse of the Mutated Beast."
After setting it down, Firefly pointed at the Giant Spider, which was over ten meters tall.
"Alright, please wait a moment, sir."
Upon seeing the Giant Spider, Lux nodded in understanding.
Immediately following, under Lux's direction, a hovering robot floated up from one part of the training ground.
The robot moved above the spider, and then blue light began to emanate from its eyes, scanning the spider's entire body from top to bottom.
Soon, a projection was cast onto the wall, and a mechanical reporting voice emanated from the robot's body.
"Giant Mutated Spider, strength at A- rank. Due to an unknown beneficial mutation in the exoskeleton, this Mutated Beast can significantly mitigate damage from both lightning and fire attributes. The quality is extremely rare, and both the spider legs and exoskeleton are perfectly preserved, allowing for further processing. The overall value is very high. The current appraisal is over 1.4 million credit points. Including the A-rank Aberrant Crystal Core, the total value can reach 2.4 million credit points. Note: This is a brief description; please refer to the analysis report for details."
'2.4 million credit points? That much?!'
After listening to the robot's description, Firefly's eyes widened in disbelief. However, because she was inside Sam, to outsiders, Sam still appeared completely unfazed.
She had originally thought that around a million would be a lot; she hadn't expected it to jump directly to over two million.
As expected! Her choice to kill it in one punch back then was the right one. If she had accidentally destroyed the Giant Spider's body, she would have lost so much money!
"Sir, would you like to proceed with the sale?"
Lux's voice pulled her out of her 'money, money, money' train of thought.
Firefly nodded, indicating her desire to sell.
"Alright." Lux's smiled and then took out her terminal. "I'll add your terminal and then transfer the credit points over."
Next came the process of adding the contact and transferring the money. Soon, another massive sum of 2.4 million was added to the terminal.
"Alright, please accept this."
After completing the series of transactions, Lux handed a platinum-colored card to Sam.
"This is our Mercenary Association's Platinum Membership Card. When holding this card, you will receive a twenty percent discount on purchases here. Furthermore, all processing fees for selling items or posting commissions here will be waived. Additionally, this card comes with a free annual credit limit of 100,000 credit points, which you can spend as you wish."
"Good."
After responding, Firefly took the card.
Seeing that her first objective for coming here had been achieved, Firefly stated her second purpose for being there:
"If I want to take on commissions here, what are the requirements?"
