Zhang Che had originally planned on setting off for the beast world once his birthday was over, striving to advance to Tier Four as soon as possible.

However, he had a change of mind after he watched the swordplay Huang Tielan had sent him closely.

Although his subdued beasts were strong, and the Scarlet Flame Drake was even more horrifyingly powerful when he could use it, Zhang Che still lacked a certain sense of security.

His personal strength was too weak, and was, after all, a huge vulnerability.

If he encountered too many exotic beasts in one go, and they were so strong that his subdued beasts weren’t able to effectively block them, he had to have the strength to protect himself when facing the attacks of the exotic beasts.

The Mutated Puffersword was very sharp; the ‘cuts metal like mud’ attribute could be considered first rate, and it even had the great area skill, Sonic Wave. There was almost no weakness to this weapon-type beast card.

However, he was unable to bring out the true strength of this weapon-type beast card.

He had never learned any sword techniques before. He would be helpless if he encountered too many enemies, or if his enemy was too agile.

No matter how sharp the sword was, it was useless if he couldn’t hit his target.

After watching the demonstration in the video closely, Zhang Che felt as if a window had opened for him; his instincts told him that he found a way to make himself stronger!

If he used a sword, he had to at least train himself to be at least proficient in it, then hone his reaction ability when he hunted exotic beasts in the beast world in the future. Once he achieved minor accomplishment in it, his survivability would be greatly increased.

Of course, Zhang Che didn’t think he had much talent in this area, and could become a swordsmanship expert, either. He only needed to not be helpless when facing his enemies!

Other than that, what made Zhang Che delay his entering the beast world was that he wanted to see how much longer it would take before his beast cards rose in quality.

Initially, the black iron-quality Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly took a week’s time to advance to bronze-quality. Then, how long would it take for a bronze-quality card to advance to silver-quality?

If he were to extrapolate it based on the usual circumstances, advancing from bronze to silver-quality would probably take around half a month?

He had spent over a week in the beast world. If his guess was right, then he only needed to rest about five or six days at home to learn the result.

In these few days at home, he could practice the sword art Huang Tielan had gifted him. Although there wouldn’t be too big of an effect in just a few days’ time, at the very least Zhang Che could dissect the few basic movements and practice them.

Before this, however, Zhang Che felt that there was something more important he had to do...

——

“What, you said we’re going to move houses?” Sun Lan looked at Zhang Che in shock after hearing his suggestion, “But Xiaoche, where do we find so much money?”

Zhang Che had a faint smile on his face, consoling, “Don’t worry, Mom. I obtained quite a few beast cards in the beast world over the past few days. Now I have nearly three million dollars in my account. Even after deducting the money for your medicine, we can totally move into a better house.”

The important matter Zhang Che had to address was moving out of this poor neighborhood, and buying a better house downtown. This would be more convenient for his mother when she was alone at home.

After all, the facilities in this poor neighborhood was too lousy, and she was far away from the hospital and malls. Even the security around here was bad.

If Zhang Che wanted to make a living in the beast world for extended periods of time searching for a healing-type beast, he wouldn’t feel safe letting his mother live in such a place all by herself.

He didn’t have the means back then; now that his total assets amounted to nearly twenty million dollars, there was no reason not to find a better place!

——

In the end, Sun Lan was successfully convinced by Zhang Che. They spent half a day searching, and finally bought a three-room apartment over a hundred square meters in size in the northeast section of Qian Wei City.

Zhang Che originally wanted to move immediately, but Sun Lan wanted to stay in their old apartment until his eighteenth birthday was over.

Zhang Che naturally agreed to his mother’s request, and postponed the matter to the day after his birthday.

Moving was a simple matter; weren’t there professional moving companies? Zhang Che only had to watch from the side.

Zhang Che’s original intent was that the furnitures and appliances in his house were too old and they didn’t need to move them all to the new place. However, Sun Lan’s opinion was that she had already grown attached to those. Other than some miscellaneous appliances that were given away to their neighbors, large appliances, furnitures, and even kitchenware was moved onto the truck.

During their first dinner at their new abode, an unexpected guest came to Zhang Che’s place.

When he saw Huang Tielan standing outside with a bunch of gifts in tow, smiling, Zhang Che only wanted to sigh out loud to the heavens, -Mom, I know you have taken a liking to Tienan (Ironman), but today is our housewarming celebration; what do you plan on doing by inviting her over?-

However, Huang Tielan was already here; he couldn’t possibly drive her away.

“You’re here, so be it. Why bring so many things? Come in and take a seat. My mom’s cooking.”

For some unknown reasons, Zhang Che felt that Huang Tielan seemed to be more pleasant to the eyes recently. Although it was unlikely that he’d fall in love with a girl taller and stronger than him, at least the two of them could be considered as close friends now.

-Mm, it’s normal for a close friend to attend my housewarming party.-

——

The next few days went by very comfortably for Zhang Che.

Every day he went to sleep, woke up, and ate on time. He also kept practicing the basic moves of the sword art in the training room of his new house, and would accompany his mother to take a walk in the neighborhood when he was tired.

The facilities in this neighborhood were really not bad, and eco-friendly. It was like talking a walk in the park.

Of course, with such good conditions, the price of the houses here were high enough to cause others to flinch. That hundred-odd square meters three-room apartment Zhang Che bought cost him over a million dollars.

——

Time passed day after day. On the sixth day after Zhang Che returned to the real world, his spiritual sea finally experienced changes again.

“My guess was on the spot! The amount of time required to advance a beast card from bronze to silver-quality was indeed around twice that of advancing from black iron to bronze-quality!”

In the skies within his spiritual sea, the two bronze-quality cards, the Wind Shadow Wolf and Myriad Transformation Lizard, floated up and stopped under the rainbow crystal. They turned into two vortexes and started sucking in the multi-hued fog crazily.

Hanxue, feeling his food being snatched away, immediately wanted to come out from Zhang Che’s spiritual sea, but was fortunately stopped.

Zhang Che was currently having a meal with his mother; if this fellow came out, wouldn’t he mess up the living room?

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhang Che held on until he was done with dinner and helped Sun Lan clean up, before returning to his room to check on the two newly-upgraded beast cards, to see what changes there were in their attributes.
