Chapter 103 - It Ex... ploded... (2/2)
Thus, she went to look for her father, Huang Juyun, this afternoon, the second-in-charge of Qian Wei City’s military, and came to the military’s operating base.
Since she was only practicing, Huang Tielan chose to work on an ordinary one-star black iron-quality card, the Sharp-Clawed Hound.
These were the same trash beasts used by Qian Wei City Number Two Secondary School to let their students undergo their beastmaster aptitude test.
This kind of exotic beast gathered in large groups in a certain area behind the spatial gateway in the suburbs of Qian Wei City. They were as abundant as fishes in the sea, and were one of the most common species of exotic beasts in Qian Wei City.
The local beastmasters had the deepest understanding of this exotic beast. In a nutshell, they had several recipes for concocting the cultivating fluid that were more well-developed, with a very high chance of allowing the Sharp Clawed Hound to increase a tier in level.
As for raising the Sharp Clawed Hound’s quality?
It was non-existent. Everyone knew that this exotic beast was trash. Being able to raise a tier in level was the limit; how was it possible to increase its quality?
——
It wasn’t Huang Tielan’s first time in Qian Wei City’s military zone. However, this was the first time she was entering the research base.
Although none of the personnel in the research base had seen Huang Tielan before, everyone knew that General Huang Juyun had a princess chubby. Moreover, someone already gave them a heads-up. Therefore, they were all showing friendly smiles on their faces when Huang Tielan showed up.
Although it was impossible to gain favor with General Huang by pleasing his little princess, as long as they weren’t sick in the head, no one would be dumb enough to greet this princess chubby with a stern face, would they?
General Huang Juyun might not give you any problem for that, but it was hard to guarantee that your fellow colleagues wouldn’t do anything to you in the dark!
Even so, Huang Tielan didn’t care if these people were being sincere or otherwise. She came to a lab in the research base under the guidance of a manager, and focused on concocting the cultivating fluid.
Despite using the cheapest recipe available, since these ingredients could only be gathered in the beast worlds, even the ingredients used to concoct the cultivating fluid for a trash beast like the Sharp Clawed Hound was not cheap, costing nearly five thousand dollars, more than the price of the beast itself.
Huang Tielan didn’t dare to be careless at all, strictly following every step of the instructions to concoct the fluid, with all her senses focused. She didn’t even dare blink her eyes.
However, about a quarter hour after she entered the lab, the people outside suddenly heard an explosion in the lab, followed by the sharp cries of Huang Tielan.
Everyone was shocked; why would there be a freaking explosion?
This was bad. If anything happened to this little princess, every one of them would be in for trouble!
Everyone ran into the lab one after another, and saw a desolate scene. The lab tools were blown to pieces, glass shards were everywhere. A strange-colored, unfinished cultivating fluid was splashed onto the lab’s walls, tables, and chairs.
“Oh crap, that little princess wouldn’t be disfigured from the explosion, would she?”
Everyone felt a chill, and their hearts tightened.
Although given the medical standards nowadays, any kind of disfigurement could be treated, no one would want to suffer such an accident. None of them would live in peace if General Huang investigated this matter and punished them!
Everyone started searching around, and to their surprises, saw Huang Tielan standing up from behind a sturdy lab table, her face a mask of confusion. She asked the few beast card cultivators within the group of people, “That, er, why didn’t anyone told me that explosions might occur during the concocting of cultivating fluid!?”
