Chapter 167 - My Greenhorn Teammates (2/2)

Zhang Che was similarly uninterested in his beast cards. He only looked at him and asked, “You’re called Xiao Yi, not Xiao Yan?” {TLN: Reference to the main character of Battle Through The Heavens.}

Xiao Yi was confused. “Why do I have to be called Xiao Yan?”

“Nothing. It’s fine that you’re not Xiao Yan,” Zhang Che said, immediately feeling assured.

The youngsters thought to themselves, -Does Big Bro Zhang Che have a feud with a guy named Xiao Yan?-

However, Zhang Che started to feel a little uneasy, with two of them not bringing any scouting-type beast cards. He looked at the remaining two and asked, “Did anyone bring any scouting-type flying beast card with you?”

The remaining two shook their heads simultaneously.

They thought to themselves, -How expensive is a scouting-type flying beast? How could people like us who come from ordinary households and without much talent afford it?-

“Nevermind then, we’ll just try our best to hunt one if we can encounter those type of exotic beasts!”

Zhang Che was rather confident about this, now that he was equipped with the Fallen Star bow, whose effective range was over one thousand meters. Although he might miss shooting from such a far distance, there would still be a chance as long as they encountered quite a number of them.

After that, the remaining two continued their self-introductions.

The youngster with the darkest skin tone among them was small and skinny. His name was Sun Zhi, and came from southern Hua Xia. He only had two beast cards with them, both of them Ordinary Combat Body-type.

Zhang Che was a little baffled. -Didn’t they say everyone is allowed to bring one extra beast card into the beast world? And you can’t even hit the bare amount for your spiritual sea capacity? What is going on?-

A shade of red immediately mixed into Sun Zhi’s tanned face, turning it into cured meat. He said indistinctly, “I come from a poor family. My parents are both commoners, and I have two younger siblings…”

Zhang Che understood the situation now. He raised his hand and stopped Sun Zhi, saying, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to… But don’t worry! We’ll work hard together, and it’ll get better.”

Zheng Hongru, whose personality was obviously more cheerful, patted Sun Zhi’s shoulder with a smile and said, “Sun Zhi, do you have to worry about not having good beast cards after following Big Bro Sun Che? Let alone others, we’re sure to have huge gains just this trip to the exotic world.”

It was probably due to his accent, when Zheng Hongru said the words “Sun Zhi”, it was extremely easy to mistake it as Sun Zi, making everyone burst out into laughter. {TLN: Sun Zi is Sun Tzu, a Chinese general, military strategist, writer and philosopher.}

As for their last teammate, he didn’t look like a high schooler at all!

This young man, Li Da, came from northwestern Hua Xia. He had a rough appearance, his body muscular. He even had a full beard on his face. Luckily, he was still young; the color of his beard wasn’t very pronounced. Otherwise, he’d really look like someone from the Warring States Period.

The beast cards Li Da brought with them were barely enough to fully employ his maximum capacity as a beastmaster of three cards, just one more than Sun Zhi.

However, this young and “rough” man didn’t look like the kind who came from a poor family. There were likely other reasons why he didn’t bring extra beast cards.

However, after Zhang Che thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized that it was possible that most of the examinees only brought enough beast cards to fill up their capacity. After all, to most of the examinees, even a one-star bronze-quality beast card wasn’t cheap. It wasn’t like they could possibly have as many beast cards as they wanted.

Moreover, a Tier Two beastmaster could only employ three beast cards at a time. What use was there to have so many beast cards on you?

After their self-introductions, they could be considered as acquaintances. They were all youngsters; it was easy for them to get along. Just a while later, waves of joyful laughter rang out from the suite’s hall.

Zhang Che wasn’t worried about the examination from the start. On the other hand, Zheng Hongru and the others were confident of passing the test and getting a good placement after witnessing Zhang Che’s strength. As such, they quickly relaxed.
