Chapter 456 - Is It Because of Love? (1/2)
Counting the days, it had indeed been three months since the Fiery Scorpion advanced to gold-quality.
“Time, oh, time…” Zhang Che sighed for no reason, coming to a realization. It had only been half a year or so since he became a beastmaster. Not much time had passed; what was there to sigh about?
Although the Fiery Scorpion was completely useless to Zhang Che, it was a gift from Miss Tienan back in the day, after all, and it had helped him earn his first bucket of gold. This subdued beast was deeply sentimental to him.
Now, this originally one-star silver-quality beat card was about to break through to three-star dark gold-quality. Zhang Che wondered: if the Fiery Scorpion was at dark gold-quality to begin with, would his development have been even faster?
Random thoughts popped up in his mind, one after another, leaving him with no mood to read anymore.
In fact, Zhang Che had barely read any books since his arrival in this world, not even books like novels or whatnot that were meant to waste time.
It couldn’t be helped. As someone who had been baptized by the many mind-blowing webnovels, how could he possibly enjoy traditional novels anymore?
Zhang Che remembered in his previous life, he almost couldn’t stand reading traditional literature after he came into contact with web novels, except for some ancient poetry and literary classics.
Admittedly, the ancient Hua Xia culture was truly something worth being proud of. No matter how uncultured someone was, or how much they disliked reading, anyone could see the beauty in some universally appreciated poetry.
While waiting for the Fiery Scorpion to finish its advancement, Zhang Che was bored out of his mind. He turned to look at the elemental queen at the side, and he realized she had already tossed the book aside and closed her eyes to sleep.
It seemed like the elemental queen really had no love for books…
“Forget it. She likes watching television, so be it. It’s not really considered a bad habit anyway. It’s much better than smoking, drinking, or gambling.”
——
The time passed in boredom. Before he realized it, the Fiery Scorpion had completed its advancement.
Zhang Che immediately summoned it out from his spiritual sea. The newly-advanced dark gold-quality Fiery Scorpion was a size bigger than before, exceeding three meters in length with its tail, and standing close to a meter tall on all fours. The color of its carapace had turned bloody red, lustrous and shiny, looking like it was a sculpture crafted from the finest ruby.
“Tsk, tsk. The appearance is pretty cool! Too bad it’s limited by its potential and had grown to the height of its ability,” Zhang Che shook his head. The Fiery Scorpion’s attributes really didn’t interest him at all. After breaking through to dark gold quality, there wasn’t much change to its stats: its basic attributes only grew a little stronger, and it didn’t have a Halo, either. Indeed, its potential was a little too low…
