Chapter 64 (2/2)
Fortunately, the beast cards Zhang Che needed had trash attributes. That was why he was able to find at least two cards of the same species, level, and quality. Otherwise, the Fusion skill wouldn’t work.
Zhang Che picked out two identical beast cards and held them between his palms, activating the Fusion skill. Following a glow of light, they turned into a brand new beast card. Its quality remained unchanged, but its level had miraculously increased by a rank.
“Very good, I gained an experience point!” A hint of excitement shone in Zhang Che’s eyes. He threw the combined beast card aside, and picked out another two identical cards, mechanically activating the Fusion skill.
This process was much faster than purchasing the beast cards. In just over ten minutes, there were only two beast cards left on the table, and Fusion’s experience was at 99/100.
“Now, here comes the time to witness a miracle!” Forcefully suppressing his excitement, Zhang Che picked up the last two cards with trembling hands and activated Fusion.
==[Fusion: Level 2 (Experience 0/100), Combines two beast cards of same species and level into a beast card of 1 level higher. Limited to beast cards under 4 stars. (Unable to gain experience from combining beast cards under 3 stars.)]==
Following the experience value being maxed out, the Fusion skill rose to level 2 as expected. Now he could combine three-star beast cards into a four-star beast card.
Even so, the bracketed notes at the end of the skill description still left Zhang Che slightly dejected.
“I knew it; I estimated that after leveling up, perhaps combining one-star cards wouldn’t yield experience points anymore. It turned out to be true, after all.”
As such, wanting to level up the Fusion skill in the future would be a huge problem. It was impossible to replicate the method of bulk purchasing beast cards any more.
If Zhang Che really did that, he would surely be noticed by others with unknown intentions. Even if he changed identities, it wouldn’t guarantee his safety.
“So, I can only hunt exotic beasts honestly from now on to level it up?”
Zhang Che wasn’t worried, however. When his beastmaster tier rose up to Tier Four in the future, he could employ the dark gold-quality Scarlet Flame Drake. It really wasn’t difficult to hunt low-quality exotic beasts.
The only problem was, for higher-levelled exotic beasts, situations of them gathering in packs would be greatly reduced. There was still a certain difficulty in obtaining at least two similar beast cards. He could only depend on luck.
At that moment, Sun Lan was done preparing dinner and called out to Zhang Che from the living room to eat. “It’s time to eat, Xiaoche.”
“Alright, Mom!” Zhang Che replied. He gathered all of the beast cards into a bag and stuffed it into his closet, then opened the door and walked out.
After eating dinner, Zhang Che took on the duty of washing the dishes without any prompting, leaving Sun Lan feeling gratified. -It seems like my son has really grown up.-

“Mmm? I almost forgot to get a closer look at the video Tienan (Iron man) sent me.” As he prepared to go to bed, Zhang Che remembered about the video Huang Tielan sent him. He opened up his personal terminal and keyed in the password once more, watching the video.
Zhang Che’s face couldn’t help, but gradually turn serious as he viewed the video.
He knew that his assessment towards a beastmaster’s personal combat ability might be a little off.
According to the extraordinariness of the swordplay the instructor showed in the video, as long as he trained in it and attained minor accomplishments, along with a certain amount of actual combat experience, his combat ability would definitely rise by quite a large margin.
Also, if he could obtain a powerful weapon-type beast card, it would be akin to adding wings to a tiger.
“It seems that Huang Tielan is indeed very generous! If I could attain minor accomplishment in this art, with the sharpness of the Mutated Puffersword, I could totally go solo against three-star exotic beasts without long-distance elemental attacks!”
