Another World Mall-Chapter 685: Smooth Progress

Clovis smiled. "Isn't this quite convenient? This cleaning stuff."

Kanaria nodded. "Yes. Even when I haven't joined the group, the cleaning group is quite important. After all, the essence is not the only thing that can be extracted for money. However, not many can create a successful cleaning group.

"First of all, the cleaning group rarely goes to the battlefield to extract all these corpses. After all, it's an extremely risky operation. The higher the risk, the higher the cost.

"Hence, most of the time, the people only send out trucks to bring back the bodies for them to be dismantled.

"Of course, it has to be done as quickly as possible. The rotten ones can't be extracted anymore, so no time can be wasted.

"The reason we didn't use them this whole time was simply due to how our group usually operated. We went to a high-level danger zone, which no one really wanted to enter. As a result, they couldn't really send a cleaning group. Even if they can do it, the fee will be much higher.

"However, now that we have both Hana's OpenSky Company and the government's support, we can utilize both of them. Of course, we have to ensure the safety of the operation. Still, it's much easier to do this. After all, most of the time, even though we're able to extract those materials, there's no buyer for them.

"On the other hand, the OpenSky Company and the government definitely have their own channels for these materials.

"In addition, by relying on the government, they will think we are not doing anything crazy, such as betraying them or something. That's why I suggest asking for the government's help," explained Kanaria.

"I see." Clovis nodded in understanding. "In that case, we will clean up this tower and try to set up the base down there." Then we'll ask the cleaning team for this tower while we clean up the underground base."

"I think that's fair enough." Kanaria agreed. "With the first cleaning process, they should be able to trust us if we tell them it's safe."

"At the same time, it's good to make your agent feel they're special." Christina grinned. "My grandfather used this trick so that he would go through fire or water whenever he asked. Creating an image that you're reliable is that useful."

Clovis nodded. "In that case, let's continue, shall we?"

Melody reported, "Yes. It's been a while since we began descending. However, according to our calculation, we will need a day or two to reach the bottom.

"This tower has a spiral-shaped tunnel inside. The angle is one degree and has a diameter of forty meters.

"With all these beasts and the calculation of distance, we need all that time to reach the bottom."

"Normally, it will take the Sky Lift about 15 minutes to reach the bottom, but to think it would take us this long to reach the bottom."

…

As Melody said, they needed a lot of time to descend the tower. The entire way, there was a lack of light, so they had to rely on night vision the whole time. It was quite hard to descend, especially as the floor became slippery due to all the blood spilled above. The blood continued to flow down, sometimes alerting other beasts.

As a result, their descent was much more arduous than they originally expected.

Still, with the Libation Fiesta's combat ability, they skillfully continued their progress. Even though it was a bit slower, it only took them two days before they reached the bottom of the tower.

During that time, Christina continued her evolution progress, approaching the Tier 6. In fact, it shouldn't take her too long before she could reach Tier 6. On the other hand, Lucifania became a Tier 5 human one day before their arrival in the underground city.

Melody and Ragna were close to Tier 5 as well. According to their pace, they could become Tier 5 after absorbing the essence from the beasts in the underground city. In addition, Clovis was also helping them with the food from Another World Mall. Hence, it might be faster than they expected.

The most concerned one was actually Reolf. He was still stuck at Tier 3. Even though Clovis had been giving him the food from Another World Mall, he hadn't evolved yet, so they could only wait for him.

Still, if all these people managed to evolve, the Libation Fiesta would have four Tier 4, five Tier 5, and one Tier 6 human. Although they would stretch a bit, Clovis believed it was enough to take down a Tier 7 beast as long as they played their cards right. In the end, it wouldn't be a raid similar to what they did in another country.

The beasts inside the underground city would be less compared to a huge field, and the tower suppressed their strength to a certain degree.

Nevertheless, Clovis was preparing his team to go against a Tier 7 beast.

…

Meanwhile, Rena and the cleaning crews were still surprised by how many beasts were actually living inside the city.

"We've been dismantling them for two days, but there's still a mountain of them…" One of them looked at the mountain, terrified. "How many beasts have they actually killed?"

Rena checked the logs in her skyphone. "There were 1,965 beasts according to their calculation."

"That many? Isn't it normal for a city like this to only have less than a thousand beasts inside?"

"Apparently, that was supposed to be the case, but this city had a lot of tall buildings and it was also prone to storms, so the sewer was big enough for the beasts. That's why the number is higher.

"Besides, they're asking for our help to take care of the tower cleaning as well. It seems they've reached the underground city," explained Rena.

"Seriously? We're going to die at this rate."

"Don't complain. Apparently, he's planning to give 20% for the fee and 10% for the bonus."

"10%? Seriously? All these materials alone can get a total of a few hundred million union dollars, right?"

Rena nodded. "Yes. If we also include the tower and the underground city, it won't be weird to get more than a billion. 10% alone is already over a hundred million. So just work hard for a while. It's not easy to get a job like this."

"It's not easy? There's basically no job like this."

"Anyway, go to work." Rena waved her hand. "I will help as well."
