Chapter 110 - Youre Pretty Good, Kid (1/2)

If Zhang Che wanted to enroll into Bei Du University smoothly, he definitely couldn’t continue hiding his strength at Tier Two beastmaster.

Even if he had the gold-quality Mutated Puffersword, and a few other silver-quality beasts, it wouldn’t guarantee him good results, compared to the other young elites from all over the country.

Of course, he also couldn’t show his strength as a Tier Four beastmaster when the time came.

A Tier Four beastmaster would officially be among the ranks of mid-tier beastmasters. If an ordinary kid were to achieve that, wasn’t that as good as broadcasting to the world that he had some fortuitous encounter? Only those with deep backgrounds could possibly do such a thing, otherwise…

The most crucial point was that Zhang Che’s time as a beastmaster had been too short. If he was in his twenties, or even thirties, being a Tier Four beastmaster wouldn’t draw any attention from others at all.

Coming to a conclusion from all this, Zhang Che decided he could only display the strength of a Tier Three beastmaster.

Although him successfully advancing into Tier Three within two months would still draw a little attention, the feat wasn’t at the point of being unacceptable. After all, if one’s luck was good and they didn’t die in the beast world, there were many people who could advance to Tier Three in a short time.

Two-star beasts that were bronze quality or lower weren’t considered very difficult to handle. As long as one’s foundations were a little better, and they were hard working, even a poor kid had a chance of achieving Tier Three in that time frame.

As such, he expected that Tier Three beastmasters wouldn’t be few in number among the examinees. Zhang Che still had some preparations to make if he wished to enroll into Bei Du University smoothly.

——

Thus, he bade his mother farewell the next morning, ready to set off for the beast world once more.

“It’s a pity that silver-quality beasts and above are already considered rare, and it would be hard to find another one. Otherwise, I could just go to the trading hub and buy a few identical low-tier silver or even gold-quality beast cards, and fuse them into three-stars…”

In fact, Zhang Che had this idea long ago, but he could only accept reality after scouting around in the market a few times.

It made sense, thinking about it. If high-quality beast cards were as abundant as the low quality ones, silver-quality and above cards wouldn’t be sold for such high prices.

Helpless about it, Zhang Che could only choose to enter the beast world again.

The Purple Jade Condor was at dark gold quality and could help him enter Bei Du University easily, but the bird was a little too eye-catching.

It was a dark gold-quality beast! Let alone a poor chap, even those from influential clans wouldn’t be able to get one on their hands easily. Zhang Che didn’t want others to have any ideas on him because of it.

After comparing the pros and cons, gold-quality beast cards were just right for him. They could ensure that he enrolled into Bei Du University smoothly, yet wouldn’t draw too much attention.

Of course, before his departure, Zhang Che wasn’t spared from having to convince Sun Lan. He had to assure her that he wouldn’t venture too deep into the beast world, and that there wouldn’t be much danger, before she felt a little better about it.

Zhang Che didn’t tell her that he already owned a three-star dark gold-quality beast, or mention that he was not far away from reaching Tier Four, and that he even had two better beast cards lying in his backpack, waiting for him to reach Tier Four to use them.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t trust his own mother, but that some secrets were better kept to himself for safety reasons.

——

As usual, Zhang Che boarded an armored coach headed for the military camp in the suburb. He sat back against the seat and shut his eyes, resting, as he tried to recall the exotic herbs he had looked up last night. In the end, he realized that he truly didn’t have much talent in memorizing.

The number of exotic herbs he could remember didn’t even reach ten!

The coach was really empty today, with only a small handful of people on it. Could it be that every other beastmasters decided to take a rest today?

As he thought about this, the coach suddenly decelerated and stopped by the roadside.
