Divine Beast Adventures Chapter 111 – Our Lanlan Has a Good Eye For People

After Zhang Che crossed into the beast world and left the safety zone, he chose not to explore in the same direction as he had the previous couple of times. Instead, he chose to head southeast, and was in no hurry to switch identities, either.

Actually, he already had a guess on what was happening earlier. He wouldn’t have said what he did otherwise.

Although the two batches of men who boarded the coach earlier didn’t speak a word, Zhang Che could tell that they were soldiers from the way they sat and the disciplined way in which they “ran for their lives”.

As for that driver, Zhang Che had initially thought that he was indeed an ordinary driver. However, after he went up to the front of the vehicle and observed the fellow, he realized that the driver’s acting was a little exaggerated.

Despite his realistic portrayal of fear, Zhang Che didn’t notice any uneasiness on his body. His limbs weren’t shaking, his breathing was stable, and his heartbeat was also normal. What else could it be, if it wasn’t acting?

Without a doubt, the driver was in on it together with the soldiers.

Now, Zhang Che hadn’t offended anyone from the army. Who would cause such a situation to observe, or even make a fool out of him?

There was only one answer: Huang Tielan’s father.

Although Huang Tielan had never revealed her background to Zhang Che, from what he had seen so far, he was able to make a guess at it.

During his first entrance to the beast world, Tielan was able to pass on a backpack to him silently through the army’s security checkpoint. That wasn’t something any commoner could do.

Moreover, Huang Tielan had also received news that Bei Du University’s Professor Sun Qilong had successfully cultivated a gold-quality beast recently. That was even less likely for a common girl to learn about.

There were also many other small details, like the sword art demonstration video Huang Tielan sent him, and so forth. All of this had shown that this chubby girl’s background was not simple.

As for this situation that Huang Tielan’s father had fabricated, Zhang Che could totally understand why.

If he had a daughter whose heart was stolen by some random guy, he would surely test him, or even make him suffer a little.

The group of soldiers today had actually been quite friendly. Their original plan was probably to have him partake in a brutal fight against the group of Sharp-Clawed Hounds, but they didn’t expect him to own a gold-quality weapon-type beast card with a wide-area attack, leading to the whole observation operation ending in such a shoddy manner.

Even so, Zhang Che didn’t dare to be careless at all. What if Huang Tielan’s father had something else up his sleeve waiting for him?

Therefore, in order to not expose his dual identities, as well as his true strength, he kept heading southeast after leaving the safety zone. He only transformed into his previous life’s appearance after confirming that there was no one tailing him, and began his search for three-star gold-quality beasts.

——

A certain office in Qian Wei City’s military camp…

The camp’s second-in-charge, Major General Huang Juyun, was standing upright in front of a topographical map with his hands behind him. He had a square face, and a tall, muscular figure, emitting a mighty presence.

There was a knock on the door. “Come in.”

Huang Juyun turned to look, and saw his adjutant, Song Yuanhang, walking in with an amused smile.

“Xiaosong, you really went and did it?”

Song Yuanhang lowered his head slightly, smiling in embarrassment, “Sir, I just can’t stop worrying, so I went to check out what kind of a guy that kid is.”

Huang Juyun smiled slightly, pointing at his trusted assistant helplessly, asking, “So how was it? How do you feel about him?”

“Ugh, that kid saw through the masquerade.” Song Yuanhang’s expression became even more amused as he continued, “I really didn’t expect this kid to be hiding so well; he’s completely exceeded my expectations.”

After saying that, he recounted the entire event, and lamented in the end, “Who would’ve thought that this kid was the same guy that relied on a one-star silver-quality card Young Miss gifted him during his first exploration into the beast world? He actually grew to this extent in one month’s time, and wields a two-star gold-quality weapon-type beast card!”

“Our Lanlan has a good eye for people. She resembles me in this aspect,” Huang Juyun chuckled, showing an interested look. He continued, “However, this kid is really a little surprising, to have grown this fast. In times to come, he might even be a cornerstone of our Hua Xia region’s beastmasters.”

Song Yuanhang couldn’t help but be slightly surprised at Huang Juyun’s expectations for Zhang Che.

“Isn’t that a little too much, Sir? Although I admit that this kid’s potential is not bad, it’s not easy reaching that height. There are many dangers on that path; it’s not that easy to overcome them.”

Huang Juyun chuckled again. He pointed at Song Yuanhang, tapping the air, “I said that our Lanlan has a good eye for people. Trust me!”

He started pacing back and forth in the spacious office, and suddenly looked at Song Yuanhang, saying, “Did you think that that two-star gold-quality beast card is that kid’s final ace?”

“Ah? How is that possible?!” Song Yuanhang’s expression finally changed. “How long has it been since he became a beastmaster? He’s already considered to be a very talented guy, to have a gold-quality weapon-type beast card. How could it be possible that he has an even better card… You’re saying, he’s actually not a Tier Two beastmaster, but Tier Three?”

Huang Yujun nodded with a slight smile, then shook his head, explaining, “He’s a Tier Three beastmaster for sure. No doubt about it. What I meant was, this kid should have an even better subdued beast in his hands. At least, it’s stronger than the gold-quality weapon he has. Otherwise, why would he take it out so easily? Take you, for example; would you expose your hand so easily if you weren’t in mortal danger?”

Huang Juyun didn’t mention to Song Yuanhang that Zhang Che had gifted a similar weapon-type beast card to his daughter previously. Although there was a difference of a star tier, their quality was the same.

Not only that, this kid brought out his weapon-type beast card without hesitation today during Song Yuanhang’s crude test. Naturally he had something better, Huang Juyun’s instincts told him.

He was also sure that Zhang Che had become a Tier Three beastmaster.

With such a powerful beast card on him, it was impossible for a youngster who was both hardworking and lucky to be only at Tier Two after battling in the beast world for nearly a whole month.

Song Yuanhang was immediately stupefied after hearing Huang Juyun’s analysis.

His arbitrary testing of Zhang Che today didn’t have any effect at all. Instead, he might have even made a fool of himself before that kid!

-Tsk tsk, the youngsters nowadays are really becoming more and more incredible!-
