The Mutated Puffersword finally advancing to dark gold-quality left Zhang Che feeling a surge of emotions.
It was his first beast card weapon, and had achieved many merits for him in his early days.
Alas, as he grew stronger, the Mutated Puffersword was gradually neglected, with almost no opportunities to be useful to him.
After three whole months, this fellow finally advanced in quality, becoming a dark gold-quality beast card weapon.
Regrettably, it still wasn’t useful to him…
Even though the Mutated Puffersword’s abilities had an all-around upgrade, it was still too weak for the current Zhang Che.
If its advancement had provided anything beneficial to Zhang Che, it was letting him know how long it took for gold-quality cards to rise to dark gold-quality.
Before dark gold-quality, advancing a beast card’s quality was twice the amount of time it took for its previous rank. It was only during the advance from gold to dark gold-quality that the time needed more than doubled.
In the end, Zhang Che guessed that this was a threshold, and might need three to four times the amount of time.
From the looks of it, it wasn’t too bad; needing only three times the amount of time.
Three months’ time was all it took for a beast card to advance from gold to dark gold. If he spread this information, perhaps some people would die from shock!
If it wasn’t for the limited number of slots available in his spiritual sea, Zhang Che could very well dabble in business on this front, buying a bunch of gold-quality beast cards and earning several times the profit after three months. How great would that be!?
Of course, Zhang Che was only fantasizing about it.
“Hmm, I can let Tielan use this Mutated Puffersword.”
Recalling the weapon Miss Tienan used was still that one-star gold-quality Mutated Puffersword, Zhang Che couldn’t help but blame himself.
He wasn’t really a good boyfriend to her.
During his first trip to the beast world, Miss Tienan gave him her only silver-quality beast card. Fast forward to present, the best beast card he gave her was only the three-star gold-quality Maneater Leech King card, which had his unspeakable motives behind the decision.
“What a pity, she was never willing to wear it and show me! Ah, the road is still long and tedious!”
Shaking his head, Zhang Che shut his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep, hoping he would dream of Miss Tienan wearing that incredibly tight-fitting soft armor. Alas, he didn’t even dream of anything that night.

The next morning, Zhang Che woke up and had breakfast at his great-aunt’s place. However, he still didn’t get to meet his uncle, Xi Wenshan.
During their meal, Sun Shaoying showed a helpless look whenever this son of hers, who was in his twenties, was mentioned.
After hearing what Sun Shaoying had to say about him, Zhang Che couldn’t help but be interested in this uncle, wanting to meet him.
The man was a talent. He lived a sloppy life into his twenties, and was only a Tier Three beastmaster, which he attained by acc.u.mulating kills on the weaker exotic beasts around the safety zone. He was a prime example of a coward, not daring to venture any deeper into the beast world to hunt stronger exotic beasts.
However, it was only human nature. Zhang Che could understand that. After all, there were too many dangers in the depths of the beast world. Not everyone had the courage to explore.
What amazed him the most was that although this uncle of his didn’t achieve much, the girlfriend he found had a rather impressive background. She was actually the only daughter of a beast world material business owner in Tian Xing City.
Zhang Che could well imagine that her family must be against their relations.h.i.+p, and would try all methods possible to thwart it.
If it wasn’t for the fear of hurting her daughter’s heart, that business owner might even think of killing Xi Wenshan!
Recently, Xi Wenshan seemed to be in talks with his girlfriend regarding operating a business, wanting to make a career for himself in order to change his future father-in-law’s opinion of him. It was why he didn’t go to the airport to receive Zhang Che and Sun Lan.
Zhang Che couldn’t help but sympathize with this, not having had to go through such matters of the girl’s family making things hard for him.
Thinking about that, he realized how lovable his father-in-law was. Not only did he not interfere with his and Miss Tienan’s matters, Huang Juyun even treated him like his own son. He was simply the number one father-in-law in Hua Xia!
This puffed-up guy didn’t even consider that if he hadn’t displayed his shocking potential and luck, would Huang Juyun really be so easygoing?
——-
After finis.h.i.+ng his breakfast, Zhang Che took the initiative to call Luo Wenjun, informing him of his decision.
“You agreed to it? Hahaha, that’s great! I’ll get my men to start preparing; we’ll set off later!” On the other end of the line, Luo Wenjun nearly jumped up from excitement.
However, Zhang Che said plainly, “Brother Luo, let’s hold it off until tomorrow. I have some private matters to attend to today. I might not make it in time.”
“Ugh… that’s fine. Just one day wouldn’t make any difference. All that matters is that you’ve agreed! Haha, then I’ll prepare the things first. We’ll set off tomorrow morning. How about it?”
Luo Wenjun was already very happy that Zhang Che had agreed to his request. He didn’t mind waiting for one more day.
After ending his call with Luo Wenjun, Zhang Che immediately called Liu Gang and the others.
He was going to enter the beast world with Luo Wenjun, and he didn’t know how long it would be before he returned. He definitely needed people to protect his mother while she stayed here, and hence it was necessary to have them come over.
As for whether doing so would implicate his great-aunt’s family? Zhang Che wasn’t worried about that.
If it wasn’t because of his mother, he and his great-aunt’s family really couldn’t be considered close. If the Miyazaki clan didn’t have s.h.i.+t for brains, they would definitely not choose to kidnap his great-aunt’s family to deal with him.
According to common sense, doing so would only incur Zhang Che’s desire for revenge, and not achieve anything else.
If they wanted to control or threaten someone through kidnapping, it might only work if they targeted his immediate family.It would only have a chance of working because some people could even abandon their parents, spouses, and children to save their own skins.

After breakfast, Sun Shaoying’s family brought them to visit Sun Lan’s paternal grandparents’ graves. During which, they spoke about Sun Lan’s parents, and everyone lamented.
Zhang Che then suggested moving his maternal grandparents’ graves to Tian Xing City when an opportunity arose. It could be considered bringing them back to their hometown.
This suggestion received unanimous support from the others.
Sun Lan even expressed wanting to move Zhang Che’s father’s grave here, too. Otherwise, she was afraid that he would feel lonely being in Qian Wei City alone.

After paying respects to Zhang Che’s maternal great-grandparents, the group went sightseeing in Tian Xing City.
Lin Xin’er, the little girl, still remembered Zhang Che hadn’t given her any presents yet. In the end, Zhang Che directly bought her a bunch of toys before she finally smiled.
In the afternoon, Liu Gang’s squad arrived at Tian Xing City safely, sparing Zhang Che any worries while he was gone.
Tomorrow morning, he could set off to hunt that epic-quality exotic beast without worries!
Zhang Che felt his blood boiling just thinking about it. Indeed, an adventurous spirit was hidden deep in his genes!
That night, Zhang Che was nearly unable to fall asleep. He witnessed the Golden Elephorse King Hanxue’s advance in quality.
When he thought back about it, it was time!
