“What did I remember wrongly?” Zhang Che asked, confused. Afterwards, when he saw Miss Tienan looking at the beast card in his hand, he finally came to a realization and said, “Oh, you’re talking about the beast card?”

Immediately after, with a thought from Zhang Che, the two-star gold-quality beast card in his hand turned into a mass of light and fell. The Fiery Scorpion’s large body promptly appeared in the narrow lab.

“Eh? It’s really the Fiery Scorpion!” Huang Tielan’s bright and beautiful round eyes lit up. Afterwards, she stared at Zhang Che with a burning gaze and asked, “You’re not that stupid to have told others about your psychic ability and had them raise its level and quality, did you?”

Zhang Che rolled his eyes back. He said, dumbfounded, “Am I that stupid? If it wasn’t that I’m afraid you would surely suspect me in the future, I wouldn’t... alright, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s my fault. I won’t hide it from you... The Fiery Scorpion leveled up in battles. I don’t have the capability to concoct the cultivation fluid myself. Well, of course, this fellow also ate quite a few good stuff. That’s why both its level and quality rose.”

Zhang Che naturally wouldn’t say that the Fiery Scorpion’s increase in quality was all thanks to the big boss rainbow crystal. That was too important of a secret; he would never reveal it.

Even if he exposed the data eye’s abilities, there wouldn’t be too many problems. If others were to learn of the rainbow crystal’s existence, however, hehehe... Unless Zhang Che immediately changed his appearance and lived out his life with another identity, every important figure in the world would come entice or threaten him to hand it over, or even directly kill him.

As the saying went, the man himself bore no sin, but the sin lay with his possession. This was the truth no matter which world it was.

After hearing Zhang Che’s explanation, Huang Tielan nodded and said regretfully, “How much good stuff did this fellow have to eat to upgrade both its level and quality? Since you had this ability, why didn’t you tell me earlier? We could have concocted cultivation fluid to level it up; how much treasure would be saved...”

This time, Zhang Che didn’t reply immediately. He was afraid of speaking thoughtlessly, leading to future headaches. If Miss Tienan really became angry, he could forget about even touching her hand!

“Uh-hrm... Wasn’t it because you haven’t become a beast card cultivator yet? Telling you wouldn’t have changed anything. Hmm, now the time is just right.”

“Hur hur!” Huang Tielan laughed inexplicably. Afterwards, she started to organize the ingredients on the experiment table. While doing so, she looked closely at the recipe Zhang Che wrote down, totally ignoring him.

Zhang Che: -I didn’t say anything wrong, did I? Hmm, I probably shouldn’t bring up this topic anymore.-

As such, Zhang Che smiled weakly and changed the topic, saying, “Tielan, I feel like you should wear that soft armor. After all, the concoction this time mostly consists of poisonous ingredients. You should be prepared in case anything goes wrong.”

Huang Tielan rolled her eyes at him, saying, “Do you think I have no idea what you’re thinking? Hur hur, you already wrote down the recipe so clearly; if I make any mistakes here, I can forget about working in this field and look for another career path.”

After a short pause, she suddenly turned around and asked seductively, “Zhang Xiaoche, you really want to see it?”

Zhang Che was stunned for a moment, then nodded profusely.

“Wait until the day we get married. I’ll wear it and show you then.”

Zhang Che was speechless. -Can there be a little bit of trust between people...-

In the end, Miss Tienan cited that Zhang Che’s presence would affect her performance and drove him out of the lab, leaving her alone to do whatever she had to do.

Zhang Che looked to the skies speechlessly. In the end, he opened up his personal terminal and started learning Japanese.

He had already made up his mind to head for Japan in the near future and keep the Miyazaki Clan busy, preventing them from always finding trouble with him.

As the saying went, always be the thief. Since when was there the logic of always guarding against a thief?

The best solution was to create chaos for the Miyazaki Clan, leaving them too busy to bother with him. For example, maybe they wouldn’t keep looking for him if a few important figures of the clan died?

Hmm, at that time, he could even disguise himself as whatever ethnicity and let them notice him “by accident”. With that, the Miyazaki Clan would surely have a great headache wondering what was going on.

When he thought of that, Zhang Che worked even harder to learn Japanese, so much so that he was even more focused than when watching adult videos in his previous life!

——

When someone was learning seriously, time passed by incredibly quickly. Zhang Che felt like only a short while had passed when he suddenly heard the lab’s door being pulled open. Miss Tienan’s excited laughter poured out.

“Zhang Xiaoche, I succeeded. It really works!”

Miss Tienan came running out like the wind. The golden beast card in her hand now had three hexagrams instead of two.

She ran up to Zhang Che with a happy look and said in suppressed voice, “Zhang Xiaoche, your ability really works!”

Zhang Che took the opportunity and hugged her tightly, chuckling by her ear, “Then I should congratulate my Miss Tienan for finally becoming an official beast card cultivator!”

“Go away. This is all because of the precise recipe. I couldn’t have discovered the method to concoct it myself,” Huang Tielan giggled. She squirmed her way out of Zhang Che’s embrace and said excitedly, “But, from today on, I can research the attributes of beast cards and try formulating a recipe, then use your ability to check the correct answer. That way, I can have another reference and learn many more things.”

Zhang Che came to a sudden realization when he heard what Huang Tielan said. It could be used this way!

That’s right! There were countless variations of beast cards in the world. If ordinary beast card cultivators wanted to improve, they could only figure things out on their own. The amount of knowledge they could learn from others was almost negligible.

After all, even the best beast card cultivator wouldn’t have a very high success rate; only relatively better than the others.

However, with Zhang Che’s data eyes, Huang Tielan could be sure of the exact recipe to concoct the cultivation fluid for every beast card from now on. Before that, she just had to study the attributes of the beast cards and try to come up with the recipe on her own, then refer to the correct formula afterwards. Naturally she would learn much more that way.

It was like two students holding onto the same difficult test papers. One of them could only try to figure it out on their own, without knowing whether their answer was right or wrong. The other student, however, could try thinking of countless answers, then compare with the model answer.

It was obvious how much each of them would learn.

Zhang Che’s eyes lit up. “In that case, wouldn’t you become a real beast card cultivation master very quickly? And your achievements in the future wouldn’t be little, either!”

Huang Tielan nodded confidently, “Of course. I’m destined to become the number one beast card cultivator in the world!”

“Mhm, then I’ll be the number one beastmaster in the world. With this husband-and-wife duo combining our strengths, we’ll be invincible!” Zhang Che went along with her with a cheap smile.

Huang Tielan raised her hand and pushed Zhang Che’s face away, “Ew, you’re disgusting...”
