Chapter 118: The loot!
'Noah, how come I got so much experience from killing this beast?' Marvin internally asked, 'I only got 300 Experience points when I killed the 3-meter tall metal wolf.'
?It's simple. The alpha metal wolves normally have around 300-500 essence of life, but this one must have devoured a special treasure or unique magical herbs that must have increased his lifespan. Thus, the gamer got 800 experience points?
"Interesting!" Marvin nodded, understanding. The amount of experience he gains isn't determined by the opponent's strength. Rather, it is determined wholly by the amount of essence of life presence in their body. That means he might kill a seemingly weak opponent, but end up earning thousands of experience points.
At the side, his wives and Fatty Liam were baffled by the opponent. They had read that the defense of the alpha metal wolf is so incredible that even the attacks of a 3rd stage ability manipulator won't seriously wound it. Normally, an entire group of ability manipulators or magical beings would fight the alpha wolf. However, Marvin, who was only at the peak of the first layer of the mana channel opening realm easily killed it!
"Guys, stop standing there like a statue and help me loot the treasures out of these wolves!" Marvin said with a smile.
"Ah, okay, I am coming."
"You were amazing!"
"You both also did well. I didn't think that a magic body would be so powerful."
Leilani and Bai Yue made their way towards Marvin and pinched his cheeks. Fatty Liam followed after them.
"Bro, are you really at the first stage of mana channel opening realm?" Fatty Liam asked.
"I think so. I only have opened up a single mana channel, but I am not sure about my power level." Marvin replied. He was not sure if he could even be classified under the realms of the Earth federation.
He was awfully strong and that was all because of the stats.
"Anyways, what do we need to do?"
"Cut their heads and bellies and search for their cores, and I think collecting their metallic fangs will also be beneficial." Marvin said, "And yeah, don't forget to get the elemental heart. Their hearts can be used to create metal-type inscriptions!"
"Their hides are also extremely coveted. They can be used for crafting powerful defensive tools. Especially the hide of this alpha metal wolf. This one is twenty years old, so the magical defensive item created by using its hide will provide excellent defense." Fatty Liam added.
He had purchased the information about these wolves and read all of it. Thus, he was the most knowledgeable about these wolves. And he shared his knowledge with the others.
"That's disgusting!"
"I don't think we will be able to do it."
Bai Yue and Leilani weren't butchers. Unlike Marvin, they both have lived a comfortable life. Thus, they found it almost impossible to open the heads and bellies of the wolves and search inside their bodies for magical cores.
"Then, you both can just sit back and let us do all the work."
Marvin didn't force them. He respected their decision. He also understands that most people were offended and disgusted by such work. Nevertheless, before he became powerful, he earned money by baiting magical beasts for ability users and searching their insides for loot. Thus, it wasn't hard for him to do what's hard for others.
"All right, hurry up."
"We will be resting here,"
The two enchanting beauties jumped up and sat on the nearest tree trunk. Bai Yue said elegantly with her back resting against the tree and Leilani sat with her legs crossed and a lazy look that would seduce even the most innocent of soul enchanted her face.
"Let's talk. How did you first meet Marvin?"
"It was a long time ago, but I still clearly remember it."
Bai Yue and Leilani started to share their cherished memories. Most of it was related to Marvin, about how they met him, what he meant to the both of them and how he won their hearts.
"Bro, how could you fist them without wearing protective gloves?"
"Your words sound kinda weird. Besides, you can't see it but my hands are protected by magic power. I won't get any bacteria from impaling my hands inside their bodies to search for magical beast cores." Marvin replied, but he continued with taking out the Alpha wolf heart and he also got a metal core. It was four times bigger compared to a rank-10 core.
Fatty Liam was momentarily stunned as he saw Marvin skillfully skinning the alpha wolf. However, he was shocked out of his wits when he saw Marvin opening the wolf guts to search their insides with bare hands.
"Magic power can be used in such a way?" Fatty Liam said, "Can you teach me?"
"Hmm, it's kinda like an ability but I am not sure. Maybe I can teach you or maybe I can't." Marvin replied.
"What do you mean?"
"I think if you understand and follow what I said, then maybe you can also use magic power to empower and strengthen your body."
The Magic Empowered Martial Arts was an upgraded version of the military martial arts his father taught him. Thus, he wasn't certain whether another person can learn it or not, but he can use Fatty Liam's help to find out.
"So then, when are you gonna teach me?" Fatty asked like an excited child.
"After we return to the stronghold. Probably when I have free time on my hands. For now, focus on the task at hand."
"All right!"
Fatty wore protective gloves that are specially made to search the insides of magical beasts, and he then started to loot the treasures out of the wolves' corpses littered in their surrounding. Nevertheless, Marvin was two times faster at skinning wolves and looting their corpse.
"I only searched four of them, but how did you skin and loot all twenty of them in 20 minutes?" Fatty said with a baffled expression.
"Experience, Little Ball. When you were lazily eating laws chips, I was working my butt off in the fields. That's when I learned all of this." Marvin replied to Fatty Liam.
"Well, I got two partially damaged hides and two elemental hearts as the other two were beaten beyond redemption and no treasure can be found in this messy meat paste. And I also got a magical core" Fatty Liam said, "How about you?"
"Ah, I skinned them all. Beside their elemental hearts and hides, I got five magical cores, and one of them belonged to the twenty year old aloha. It must be worth a lot." Marvin said before he turned to stare at the two enchantresses with a gentle gaze. "Come on, we are done."
"Umm, we won't be coming down unless you promise to catch us! Am I right, sister?"
"Yup. Don't keep us waiting!"
Bai Yue and Leilani said playfully.
Naughty cats! They want to be punished, Marvin thought when Fatty Liam pushed him towards them.
"Don't just stand here. Are you dense or what? They are trying to be romantic."
"Okay, jump down!" Marvin said once he stood beneath the tree trunk.
Leilani was the first one to jump down and Marvin caught her in his hands, and he then nibbled the long ears of his little hamster before she couldn't endure it anymore, but her petite hands lacked the strength to push him away. Furthermore, her slender body couldn't break free from his grasp.
