“I…” Zhang Che nearly died from anger after hearing what the elemental queen said.
-What do you mean by having an affair!?
-She’s only a friend! And where did you learn that word!?-
“Are you still watching those stupid dramas behind my back?” Zhang Che shot an annoyed glance at her, but was actually secretly impressed with her. She could actually multitask, watching television and playing chess, and she had even managed to improve her Go skills at a rapid pace, quickly surpassing him. She was indeed inhuman!
The elemental queen had an innocent look on her face, shaking her head and saying, “I’m not! I haven’t watched television since Master taught me how to play Go. This was all learned previously.”
“You’re learning all the bad things!” Zhang Che glared at her again. He continued, “What affair? She’s a friend I got to know in the past. You’ve seen the unicorn before; it’s all thanks to this friend that I got it! That’s why I have to accept her invitation to her birthday gathering. Understand?”
The elemental queen was unmoved. She asked, “Master, is that woman beautiful?”
-Oh my god, what are these questions you’re focusing on?- Zhang Che was about to go crazy. He simply answered “not as beautiful as you” in an irritated manner and no longer paid any heed to the elemental queen, sitting in the driver’s seat and thinking of a present to get for her.
Zhang Che had no experience in giving gifts to girls except for Miss Tienan. So, he was feeling a bit of a headache about what to gift her.
Beast cards or whatnot were obviously not suitable. This was a birthday gift, for goodness sake! Going to a jewellery store to buy some jewellery for her seemed even less suitable…
So, what should he give her? Clothing? Or a handbag?
Zhang Che shook his head again. He felt like giving those things to her wasn’t meaningful, and didn’t suit his identity.
He was the most outstanding beastmaster of the younger generation in Hua Xia, and also the most outstanding mid-tier beastmaster. His gifts mustn’t be too unpresentable!
“Right, I wonder if Chen Lishan pays attention to current affairs. If she keeps herself up to date on current affairs, perhaps she has already guessed my true identity…”
After all, he had exposed the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and the Purple Crystal Tortoise in front of Chen Lishan before. If she had taken notice of the hot news for the past few months, she’d probably have a vague idea that Sun Che was actually Zhang Che!
In this world, there wouldn’t be two people with identical powerful subdued beasts, let alone having more than one of the same kind!
Unbeknownst to Zhang Che, since Chen Lishan didn’t socialize much, so she wasn’t interested in keeping up with news related to beastmasters. She had only heard a little about matters regarding Zhang Che, and didn’t go actively read up on the news.
As a result, she had no idea at all that Sun Che was Zhang Che!
After thinking for a while, Zhang Che finally thought of a present to give her. His complicated mood immediately relaxed.
There was still some time before noon. Zhang Che wasn’t in a hurry to go to Chen Lishan’s apartment. Instead, he remained in his car and surfed the internet on his personal terminal, reading up on some news.
Suddenly, Zhang Che raised his eyebrows slightly, noticing a rather surprising piece of news. “Hmm? Evil cults seemed to have popped up around the world?”
In the article, it mentioned many evil cults were appearing all across the globe, attracting countless mid and low-tier beastmasters with neither strength nor status. At the same time, they had caused some incidents across the globe that were neither too minor nor major.
However, due to those evil cults hiding themselves deep, as of now the alliance government had yet to find out more information on them…
“Really, all kinds of nonsense are coming out. Looks like the world will become unstable in the future,” Zhang Che sighed, shaking his head.
The fifth beast swarm was nearly upon them, and the demon world had suddenly connected a tunnel to Mercury. Now, even the people of Mercury were forming evil cults. Things were truly getting worse!
Hopefully the latter two wouldn’t add on to the chaos during the outbreak of the fifth beast swarm. Otherwise, heavens knew how great a loss humanity would have to suffer this time.
Zhang Che whiled away the time on the internet. The elemental queen at his side wasn’t idling, either. She was similarly on the web, immersed in an online chess game. A virtual screen was in front of her, showing a chess board. Black and white chess pieces intersected with one another, tangling in one area. She was obviously at a critical point in the game.
——
Before anyone realized it, it was already 11 AM.
Zhang Che got out of his driver’s seat and delved into the spacious back end, transforming his appearance and changing his clothes.
The elemental queen was shell-shocked when Zhang Che returned to the driver’s seat. If it wasn’t for the fact that she could sense his aura, she would have swung her hands at the unfamiliar figure, throwing flames at him and turning him into a roast pig!
“Master, since when were you able to transform!?”
Zhang Che, who now looked like he had in his past life, drew back his lips in a smile. “No need to freak out. Your Master has tons of capabilities. You’ll be able to see many more incredible things in the future.”
The elemental queen nodded silently, then said, “I understand now. That woman called Chen Lishan must be very pretty. Am I right, Master?”
Zhang Che suppressed his urge to punch someone. He stared fiercely at the elemental queen, warning her, “If you keep acting so mischievously, I’ll confiscate your personal terminal! See what you can do in the future!”
Once he pulled out this trick, the elemental queen immediately sat in place obediently, no longer speaking.
Seeing as he had finally kept this restless pet in check, Zhang Che looked for the address Chen Lishan sent him on the map and started the engine, driving over there.
—–
The apartment Chen Lishan lived in wasn’t far from Bei Du University. It was about ten minutes’ drive away, the local environment quite pleasant.
Of course, with Chen Lishan’s salary, it was obviously difficult to afford such an apartment. However, she was a Tier Three beastmaster. On her days off, she would join in on the hunts organized by the school to kill some low-tier exotic beasts in the beast world. She’d earn some extra money that way.
Moreover, she had the gold-quality beast cards Zhang Che gave her. Of the low-tier beastmasters, her strength was one of the highest. Her gains in the hunting operation were definitely not small!
This neighborhood wasn’t a low class one. The security was pretty good, too.
Outsiders couldn’t enter without an invitation from the residents in this area. Not only that, Zhang Che could clearly sense that this neighborhood actually had two teams of security, one in the open and one in the dark.
On the surface, the security team only consisted of low-tier beastmasters. They were obviously only in charge of the day-to-day security, as well as settling trivial matters.
In the dark, the auras were not weak at all, all of them at least mid-tier beastmasters. Two of them were actually high-tier beastmasters!
Although Zhang Che’s car wasn’t something ordinary people would have, he was stopped by the guards outside regardless, requesting he show an invitation from a resident.
Helpless about it, Zhang Che informed Chen Lishan of his situation and waited for her to talk to security. It was only then that Zhang Che was allowed to drive in.
After parking his car in the underground car park in the neighborhood, Zhang Che had the elemental queen remain in the car to surf the web, while he quickly walked over to the building Chen Lishan was staying in.
Chen Lishan lived on the twenty-fifth story, one of the higher levels. Zhang Che had no intention of taking the elevator, however. Given his current strength, he would be faster if he climbed the stairs instead, and even train his body at the same time. Why not?
