Chapter 5 (2/2)

The combat suit was the latest invention of the Alliance. It was made using some tough materials harvested from the corpses of exotic Beasts, and provided impressive defense. Ordinary steel weapons were unable to penetrate it.

The foot long knife was no ordinary object, either. It was similarly mixed with materials harvested from the corpses of Beasts. Not only was it much sharper than traditional weapons, it was also much tougher and more durable.

Just these two objects combined were worth at least a hundred thousand Alliance dollars. It showed just how much Huang Tielan cared about Zhang Che.

Zhang Che sighed. Since he had already accepted them, he shouldn’t let Huang Tielan’s good intentions go to waste. It was best to equip them first; it was, after all, another layer of safety.

To his surprise, the moment he unfolded the combat suit, he saw a silver colored beast card fall out from the suit.

“Damn! This girl is really willing to spend!”

Zhang Che was thoroughly speechless. He didn’t expect Huang Tielan to even contribute her beast card. What was he supposed to say?

A one starred silver beast card was worth a hundred thousand Alliance dollars on the market at the very least! The better ones could even sell for several hundred thousand dollars!

This favor was truly too much, causing Zhang Che to feel apprehensive.

-Even if I sold myself off, I wouldn’t be able to afford a silver beast card!-

That wasn’t right. If Zhang Che wished to sell himself, Huang Tielan would gladly buy him for sure!

“Although it’s said that one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but I just… Forget it. I’ll just find a better beast card and gift it to her as repayment. It’s impossible for me to betray my body.”

Shaking his head, Zhang Che put on the combat suit and picked up the silver beast card on the ground. The card’s data flashed before his eyes.

Zhang Che was nearly moved to tears. This one starred silver-tier Fiery Scorpion could sell for at least two hundred thousand alliance dollars!

The problem was, the better the items he got, the bigger the favor he owed…

This was truly a blissful trouble…

Zhang Che simply dropped all thoughts on how to face Huang Tielan in the future. He closed his eyes and focused his mind, holding the silver card between his palms. A ray of light gradually shone on his palms, indicating his successful triggering of the spiritual resonance.

In the next moment, the silver card suddenly disappeared from his palm. It appeared in Zhang Che’s spiritual sea, becoming a beast card he could call upon at will.

If a beastmaster wished to make use of a beast card, they had to first trigger spiritual resonance with the card and store it in their spiritual sea, before branding them with their Spiritual Imprint.

Similarly, if a beastmaster wished to gift or sell their beast card to others, they had to first remove their spiritual imprint. Otherwise, even if the opposing party had the card in hand, they wouldn’t be able to use it at all.

After successfully leaving his spiritual imprint, Zhang Che called forth the beast card once more. With a focus of his will, it turned into a streak of light and fell down before him.

This was a huge scorpion, with a length of approximately 1.5m. Its carapace was deep red in color, and it had a big pair of sharp pincers at its front. One could tell that it was strong just by the looks of it. It also had a tail curving to the front, with a stinger about fifteen cm long, flashing with a chilling red glow.

-What a beast! The Large Tusk Boar there pales in comparison to this Fiery Scorpion!-

“Let’s set off!” Zhang Che said in high spirits. He waved his hand, moving out towards the mountain forest in front of him, along with his two beasts.
