Chapter 154 - Its Not The First Time, Anyway (1/2)

At the outskirts of Qian Wei City, in the business district of the military camp where the spatial gateway was…

At the entrance of the Ding Feng Corporation’s mall, the manager who brought the purple crystal card to Zhang Che was all smiles, sending Zhang Che to the door. “Take care, Mr Sun. Are you returning to the city? Should we arrange a vehicle for you?”

He had no choice but to act so politely. Zhang Yujie, their eldest young master, had instructed him to treat Sun Che with utmost respect whenever he appeared. This time, the amount of beast cards this mysterious expert took out was truly a little shocking.

Let alone bronze-quality cards, there were over twenty silver-quality cards!

Although there weren’t any mid-tier cards among them, the purchasing power of Qian Wei City’s citizens was only around this level. Low-tier yet high-quality cards were easier to sell instead, giving a higher profit margin.

Zhang Che smiled faintly and waved his hand, “No need. I have other matters to attend to.”

After refusing the other party’s kind intentions, Zhang Che walked straight out of the military camp.

He had sold off the majority of the beast cards he had obtained in the beast world to the Ding Feng Corporation. The balance in his purple crystal card rocketed to tens of millions of dollars.

This was under the pretext that the dozen or so four-star silver-quality beast cards weren’t taken out for sale. Otherwise, the balance in his purple crystal card would have nine digits!

Alliance dollars were now merely numbers to Zhang Che. He only needed to make sure that he had enough to spend. There was no need to sell the best cards he had.

After returning to the city and swapping his identity, Zhang Che immediately gave his mother a call, telling her that he had returned. Then, he contacted his homeroom teacher, Han Sheqing, and learned that the beastmaster examination would be held collectively at Bei Du City on the twenty-fourth of June.

Qian Wei City was located in the south central area of the Hua Xia region, nearly fifteen thousand kilometers away from Bei Du City. As such, the city government office had decided to gather all the senior high schoolers who had applied for the beastmaster major on the twentieth of June and send them to Bei Du City with the army’s airplanes.

The reasons why the army was responsible for sending them over were very simple. First, it was safer that way. There would be a convoy of fighter planes accompanying their journey. There wouldn’t be any danger unless they encountered some terrifyingly powerful flying beasts.

Moreover, after the incessant hunting over the last few years, the number of high-tier exotic beasts around human settlements in Mercury was incredibly low. They were basically driven off to uninhabited lands.

Second, the number of high school seniors who were Tier Two beastmasters or higher was really not that high. Combining the dozen or so schools, there were only two hundred or so of them. Only four airplanes at most was needed to send them all to Bei Du City.

After all, most students around their age had only become beastmasters a short time ago. They still had to learn other subjects in school; it was impossible for them to have had many chances to practice actual combat, which led to only a small number of people achieving Tier Two or higher.

Of course, you had to exclude the young masters and princesses from rich households. It was very simple for them to advance in beastmaster tier initially. They could get an expert within their family, or hire one, to severely injure large amounts of low-tier exotic beasts and let them deal the final strike.

This was a common method of the rich or influential to nurture their youths, as it could prevent many accidents, reducing casualties.

“Then, Teacher Han, how many of them are from our school?” Feeling curious, Zhang Che couldn’t resist asking. He wasn’t sure of other classes, but their Class Three only had three people, including him!

“Thirty-six. Our school, Number One, and Number Three schools had larger populations, therefore our numbers are greater. The other schools only had a dozen or so, with some sending only a handful.”

As expected of a small city. A small population would naturally produce a pitiful amount of teenagers that met the requirements.
