Chapter 145 - Who Can Rival Me In These Mountains? (1/2)

This time, Zhang Che worked until the sky was completely dark outside before the new tunnel was connected.

Similar to the old cave entrance, Zhang Che did some work to the entrance of the old tunnel, not leaving any traces of it behind.

From now on, the treasure cavern would belong to only Zhang Che himself!

——

With a splash, Zhang Che crawled out of the pond. He took off the Swamp Crocodile King armor, revealing a bright smile.

“Although there’s no way to transport all the purple-gold crystals in the cavern out in the short-term, I’ll surely have a chance to get my hands on a spatial storage item in the future!”

Zhang Che had made up his mind. In the future, he’d remain here at the outskirts of the mountain range and hunt three-star and four-star exotic beasts. He could return home once he obtained one or two three-star gold-quality beast cards and raised his beastmaster tier to Tier Four.

Although the university enrollment test would take place in the latter half of June, Zhang Che had to get back a few days in advance. Otherwise, if there were any changes, Teacher Han wouldn’t be able to find him, and he might miss this opportunity.

Zhang Che had a large amount of purple-gold crystal ore on his hands now, and could cure his mother’s illness by setting up a reward, thus whether he enrolled into university wasn’t an issue. However, he felt that this method should only be used as a last resort.

After all, Zhang Che firmly believed in one principle: if you didn’t have the ability to protect what you had, you should try your best to not expose it, or you’d be fraught with trouble.

Back on Earth, he had read countless cases of businessmen having everything taken away from them. Although there might be some fake news in there, there was still a lesson to be learned from them!

This was a world where strength reigned supreme. The so-called law and justice were nothing but empty words to those who were high up in the hierarchy. If they discovered any great benefits they could take, did anyone really think they would play nice and abide by the so-called law?

Perhaps only kids would believe in that!

Therefore, the matter about him having purple-gold crystals must not be casually exposed, unless he had no other choices left. It might not be safe even after using the Myriad Transformation Lizard card to change his identity!

——

Coming out of the cave, the sky had turned completely dark long ago.

Fortunately, Zhang Che had made preparations earlier and prepared a gutted exotic beast. He only needed to start a bonfire outside the cave and he could start roasting it.

Considering that both the frisky monkey and the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon had huge appetites, and that his food supply was only a single exotic beast, Zhang Che had very selfishly kept his pets contained in his spiritual sea. He worked by himself for some time, roasting the bull-like exotic beast over the fire until it was cooked and started feasting on it, taking huge mouthfuls at a time.

Regrettably, there were not much salt left in his bag of spices after his unrestrained roasting over the past few days. The meat was considerably less tasty.

“It looks like I can’t let those two gluttons have any roasted meat for the next few days, either. This little bit of salt isn’t going to last.”

As such, Zhang Che began fantasizing about how long it would be before he finally obtained a spatial storage item beast card.

Even so, this was still something left up to chance. One could only imagine the rarity of a spatial storage beast card. It was comparable to that of a healing-type beast card. It might be even rarer than that!

“I can only take this one step at a time. At the most, I’ll order a super large-sized backpack. I have superhuman strength now, anyway; it’s not like I can’t carry it.”

——

It was another night of good sleep.

Considering that he had no way of bringing the purple-gold crystal mineral out to the real world, Zhang Che didn’t continue mining. The entire cavern was his, anyway. There would be plenty of time for that in the future.

The next morning, Zhang Che slept in until he woke up naturally. After he woke up, he had the frisky monkey carry the Falling Star Model X and follow behind him, as he equipped the Swamp Crocodile King armor and used the Rotten Ent Prowler whip to pull him through the tunnel.

“I’d better widen the tunnel when I have time in the future. It’s not really a solution to slide my way out everytime…”

Today was the tenth of June.
