Seeing his father-in-law taking out the two epic-quality beast cards, Zhang Che didn’t show any change in expression. Instead, he was thinking to himself, -Looks like Miss Tienan really didn’t say anything about my secret. Mhm, not bad, not bad. This is what you call a good wife! She’s worthy of my trust!-

-This brat does have hidden trumps on him indeed! He actually didn’t show any surprise when he saw the two epic-quality beast cards. Heavens knows exactly what good stuff he has on him…- Huang Juyun guessed inside as he pushed the two beast cards in front of Zhang Che. He said, “Xiaoche, get yourself familiar with the two subdued beasts’ attributes in the next two days. We’ll set the date to three days from now.”

Zhang Che thought inwardly, -What’s there to familiarize with? I can see the comprehensive attributes of these two cards with a glance and directly display their fullest strength!-

Naturally he wouldn’t voice those thoughts out loud. He nodded and smiled, “Thank you, Uncle Huang. I’ll go back and familiarize myself with them.”

“Mhm, go on. Prepare yourself well. We can’t afford to lose this arena deathmatch,” Huang Juyun sighed. After sending Zhang Che out, a cloud of darkness fell over his face.

Although he believed that Zhang Che had a powerful hidden ace, how could the Zhen family not have their own if they dared to initiate the arena deathmatch?

Thinking about all this now was useless. He could only pray that Zhang Che’s ace was stronger than his opponent’s. No accidents would happen then.

——

After leaving the Huang family’s ancestral house, the captain who drove him there continued playing the part and sent him home. After being absent close to a month, Zhang Che finally saw his mother Sun Lan again.

Over this period of time, Sun Lan’s complexion had deteriorated by quite a bit. After all, she had heard that the Zhen family was an extremely powerful clan in Bei Du. Her son had killed their descendent, and the arena deathmatch was sure to be extremely dangerous. It was impossible for her to not worry.

“Xiaoche, are you confident about this?” Sun Lan immediately asked, her face full of worry when she saw Zhang Che return.

Zhang Che smiled faintly, showing a nonchalant look and replied, “Rest assured, mom. Your son will surely be the final victor.”

After assuring his worried mother, Zhang Che returned to his room and took out the two beast cards Huang Juyun had given him, studying their attributes closely.

Both of the epic-quality beast cards were six-stars, and each of them had their own False Domains. They should be considered decent among mid-tier epic-quality subdued beasts. It was no wonder Huang Juyun had paid a huge price for them.

In order to buy the two beast cards, close to one-tenth of the spiritual jade Zhang Che brought back was cut off. It was worth tens of millions of purple crystal points.

“Although it’s a little expensive, they were epic-quality beast cards, after all. Usually, I might not be able to buy them even if I had the money,” Zhang Che shook his head, smiling. He didn’t mind it.

========

“Hmm? It doesn’t have a Potential attribute?”

Zhang Che was rather satisfied with the Winged Dragon Wind God’s attributes. Although only one of its two skills were offensive, its False Domain was pretty good. At the very least, it could greatly affect his enemies’ movements.

Also, this fellow’s False Domain could work together with the Earthen Rock Demon’s Gravity Field, further restricting his enemies’ mobility!

If he was up against epic-quality exotic beasts that weren’t considered very powerful, under the double restriction of the two subdued beasts’ False Domains, they would probably only be passively taking hits. This simply had too great of an effect towards the end results!

The only thing that left Zhang Che a little dissatisfied was that the Winged Dragon Wind God no longer had any room for development. Its current level and quality were already at the limit.

“But, even so, this fellow’s value is not low!”

Zhang Che already had a bunch of babies with great potential. He wasn’t demanding the Winged Dragon Wind God break through into high-tier and divine-quality.

For a long part of the foreseeable future, this subdued beast would be very useful to him! Zhang Che truly didn’t have anything he wasn’t satisfied with.

========

“This Jade-Shelled Mystic Tortoise is pretty interesting. Its attack and defense is very well-balanced.” Zhang Che was a tiny bit surprised after he saw the second epic-quality beast card’s attributes. Putting its attacking power aside for now, this fellow’s life-saving ability was very decent.

However, the Jade-Shelled Mystic Tortoise’s False Domain had forced Zhang Che to take a second look. It was actually able to affect the water molecules in its enemies’ bodies and attack them with that. It truly gave him the chills.

Regrettably, this fellow was also about to hit the limits of its potential. At the most, it could reach the level of seven-star divine-quality. Not only that, in order for it to advance to divine-quality, first it had to breakthrough to seven-stars.

For a beast card of this level to rank up, the ingredients needed to concoct its cultivating fluid would be very difficult to assemble. Heavens knew how long it would take to do so…

“Ah, what a headache! I wouldn’t be so troubled if the rainbow crystal could increase my subdued beasts and pets’ level too!,” Zhang Che shook his head, not thinking about this matter for now.

In any case, with these two epic-quality subdued beasts, in addition to the Earthen Rock Demon, Zhang Che owned three epic-quality subdued beasts. Zhang Che was much more confident of obtaining the final victory in this arena deathmatch.

After checking the two beast cards’ attributes, Zhang Che informed his mother and left the house, driving to his beast card shop.

This time, not only did he advance to Tier Six beastmaster in the beast world, he also reaped abundant harvests. The beast cards were stacked into a small hill inside the Meso Worm storage equipment, replenishing what the shop had sold.

There were also the twenty-some Nirvana Snake beast cards. They could be used as the Premium House’s signature product to attract a large number of potential customers here.

“A pity the amount is too little. Even if I set the prices higher, it wouldn’t be long before they’re all sold out…” Zhang Che shook his head as he drove. He thought to himself, -It’s better if I don’t sell these twenty-some Nirvana Snake cards singly. I should set a barrier, like every customer will have to reach a certain amount of spending before they’re eligible to purchase a Nirvana Snake card.

-That way, I should be able to avoid selling out those beast cards that are sure to be very popular too soon, and bring up the Premium House’s sales to the largest degree.-

When Zhang Che arrived at the shop, he took out all the beast cards and told his Uncle and Auntie about his idea, which was immediately met with Xi Muyun and Xi Wenshan’s approval.

Afterwards, Zhang Che let the siblings decide the specifics regarding how much spending the customers had to achieve before they were eligible to purchase a Nirvana Snake card. In any case, he had not come to the shop once since the opening of the store. Naturally his understanding of the business wasn’t as good as theirs.

After handing all the beast cards to them, Zhang Che shopped around outside, wanting to observe how his shop’s business was doing.

In the end, Zhang Che was very satisfied with the results. The quality of the beast cards he left behind the last time were very decent. Although it wasn’t like the shop was filled with customers, at the very least it wouldn’t be empty at any point in time.

However, this didn’t stir any emotion from Zhang Che. After all, Zhang Che didn’t care about that little bit of sales, even if the business wasn’t doing well.

Out front, he had unintentionally overheard the conversations between a few customers. His eyes widened so much they nearly fell out of their sockets.

“Damn, my odds are actually so high!”

It was only now that Zhang Che realized the outside world was actually thinking so little of him in the upcoming arena deathmatch. The odds of him winning had exceeded four to one!

“This is the Bei Du’s masses trying to give me money! I can’t not accept it!”

Zhang Che didn’t think he would lose. Since that was so, why not place a heavy bet on himself, and earn a fortune from it?

Mhm, first, he had to check his assets.

In his purple crystal account were nearly thirty million purple crystal points. If he bet it all on himself, it shouldn’t affect the odds too much. That would be over a hundred million purple crystal points of income!

Zhang Che naturally wasn’t satisfied with that.

He then looked inside his spatial storage equipment. He realized the fifteen tons of scarlet meteorite were still unsold. Calculating according to the market price, that was another twenty-five million purple crystal points.

The miscellaneous objects weren’t worth much. Zhang Che couldn’t be bothered with them. He directly found a large beast world minerals trading center and sold all the scarlet meteorite.

As such, his purple crystal account suddenly exceeded fifty-five million purple crystal points!

With such a large sum, Zhang Che was afraid that a single lottery company wouldn’t be able to accept his bet. He split it into four portions and placed his bets at the four largest lottery companies.

“Huhuhahaha, I’m finally going to strike a windfall!”

According to the current odds, with his bets, Zhang Che would earn over two hundred million purple crystal points, not including his capital!

When he thought of that astronomical sum about to fall into his purple crystal account, Zhang Che couldn’t help but burst out in laughter, his eyes narrowed into slits.

From a certain perspective, the Zhen family initiating the arena deathmatch was really them doing him a huge favor!
