When the two returned to the lab, Huang Tielan looked inside the petri dish. The fluid inside had already turned colorless and transparent, and the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander card that originally had only three hexagrams on it had gained another one.

“See, like I said, success has come to save his mother!” Zhang Che smiled, talking more nonsense.

“Tch, if it wasn’t for your foul mouth, I’d have succeeded the first time, okay?!” Huang Tielan rolled her eyes at him. She quickly removed the petri dish cover and took out the beast card, feeling incredibly excited.

This was the first time she had ever leveled up a dark gold-quality beast card! The sense of accomplishment was naturally incomparable to anything she had experienced before.

After Huang Tielan picked up the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander card and handed it to Zhang Che, he rebranded it with his spiritual imprint and immediately noticed the card was absorbing the rainbow crystal’s energy much faster now.

-Indeed, my calculations from before are right. Advancing from dark gold-quality to legend-quality takes twice the time of going from gold to dark gold-quality; half a year!-

At that thought, Zhang Che hurriedly put the beast card away in his spiritual sea, waiting for it to automatically upgrade.

“Hmm? Why did you put it away already? Let me take a longer look at it; it won’t revert back to three stars, okay?” Huang Tielan rolled her eyes at Zhang Che seeing him stashing the beast card impatiently, not understanding the real situation.

Naturally Zhang Che had no way to explain his secret. He could only change the topic, saying, “It’s upgraded, and that’s that. What’s there to see? You can look at it for as long as you want when you can level up legend, or even epic-quality beast cards. Oh, right, it’s late now. Why don’t we continue to work on the next card tomorrow?”

Due to their prior failure, they spent close to three hours to level up the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander card. It was close to 11 PM now. If they continued, they might be busy until 1 AM, and that was assuming everything went well with no accidents.

However, Miss Tienan wasn’t afraid of hard work. She directly rejected Zhang Che’s suggestion. “Nah, I’d better finish all the work in one go while I’m in good form!”

She promptly tidied up the table and got ready to concoct the cultivation fluid for the Purple Jade Condor card.

Zhang Che didn’t try to persuade her otherwise after her insistence. He retreated to the side and kept quiet.

Although Zhang Che knew nothing about the concoction of cultivation fluid for beast cards, watching Miss Tienan working seriously was an inexplicable enjoyment.

-Although I don’t understand what I’m seeing, looking at it from another angle, isn’t this pretty nice?-

Time passed by just like that, quickly approaching midnight and crossing to the next day.

This time, concocting the cultivation fluid for the Purple Jade Condor went unexpectedly smoothly. Huang Tielan succeeded on her first try, her serious face lighting up into a radiant flower.

“Hah, Zhang Xiaoche, your foul mouth didn’t work on me. I did it on the first try!”

Zhang Che was about to share the joy with Huang Tielan, but when he heard that, he immediately lost all enthusiasm. “Say, can you not be such a downer? Although I do admit I have an unlucky mouth, it didn’t come into effect tonight. You could forget about succeeding otherwise. All your attempts would have ended in failure and you would have wasted all the ingredients!”

Those words came from the bottom of his heart. Zhang Che was aware of his foul mouth attribute. Its effectiveness simply left one wanting to cry, but no tears would come out.

“The beast card will take some time to absorb the cultivation fluid. Let’s go have some midnight snacks first. I’m a little hungry after working for a few hours.” Huang Tielan smiled after hearing Zhang Che’s words. She pulled him and walked out of the lab, walking into the villa’s kitchen.

Since Liu Gang’s squad was living here permanently, there were all kinds of foods in the kitchen. There was no need to worry that they wouldn’t find anything to eat.

“Ah, that’s right. I almost forgot about the good stuff I brought for you.” Zhang Che slapped his head when the topic shifted over to midnight snacks. He stopped Huang Tielan from taking food from the refrigerator, and quickly took out a pile of seafood from his spatial storage.

These were his gains from the beach at Jingzhou from a few days ago. Zhang Che intentionally kept a portion of it, weighing hundreds of kilograms in total, and brought it back for Miss Tienan and his family to try.

“Woah, Zhang Xiaoche, you think I’m too skinny, huh? You’re actually suggesting we eat seafood in the middle of the night!”

Huang Tielan was aware she put on weight very easily. She didn’t dare to eat so thoughtlessly. What would she do if she couldn’t keep herself in check and quickly put on weight again? She was rather afraid at the thought of her old appearance!

Zhang Che smiled and said, “No worries. You can’t get fat from eating this, no matter how much you eat.”

If ordinary people ate exotic beast meat, they would indeed grow fat with the accumulation of nutrition and energy. However, the energy and nutrition contained in the exotic beast wouldn’t turn into fat for beastmasters.

Huang Tielan immediately understood when he said that. Her eyes lit up, and she asked, “These are from water-based exotic beasts?”

When she saw Zhang Che nodding in response, Huang Tielan immediately grew excited and quickly moved all the meat into the kitchen, busying herself.

She knew how fresh and delicious the exotic beast meats that could be categorized as seafood were. They were so tasty one could even swallow their tongues!

This seafood supper left Huang Tielan gasping in amazement. In the end, she decided to stuff the large refrigerator in this villa full of the seafood exotic beast meats Zhang Che brought back, storing a few hundred kilograms of them.

Miss Tienan might come to the lab to concoct cultivation fluid at any time. Preparing more delicious foods was a pretty good enjoyment, wasn’t it?

Seeing the seafood exotic beast meat he brought back being so popular, Zhang Che couldn’t help but think that he should bring back more seafood the next time he went to the seashore.

After their supper, the two returned to the lab once more. Unsurprisingly, the Purple Jade Condor card had also risen to four-stars successfully!

“I knew it; we succeeded again!” Zhang Che praised, smiling faintly. Huang Tielan quickly came forward and took the Purple Jade Condor card out from the petri dish.

With prior experience, Zhang Che knew this was going to happen. He didn’t immediately rebrand the card with his spiritual imprint. Instead, he let Huang Tielan play around with the card for a while and satisfy her sense of accomplishment before stashing the card in his spiritual sea.

Afterwards, the two said their goodbyes intimately. They didn’t return to the villa next door. Instead, they each found an empty bedroom to rest for the night.

——

Laying on the bed, Zhang Che focused his mind inside his spiritual sea.

The Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander had completed its transformation. The card turned from dark gold to five-colored, successfully advancing to legend-quality.

Meanwhile, the Purple Jade Condor card Zhang Che had just put away inside his spiritual sea was quickly devouring the surrounding rainbow energy and turning into a dark golden cocoon of light, entering the state of transformation.

“Nice, another two legend-quality exotic beasts, and they were nurtured by myself, to boot!” Zhang Che sighed in praise, rubbing his palms together and feeling very excited.
