Who said this card is outrageous?

Zhu Yunge, looking pained, pushed a box in front of Zhang Che.

"Look, I know nothing else catches your eye, and you've almost scavenged all the rare materials in the guild." Zhu Yunge's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

Although Zhu Yunge's acceptance of credit for capturing the masked man will certainly bring him considerable trouble, as mentioned before, Blue Star is ultimately the territory of the Federation, and organizations like the Eye of Truth will not openly retaliate against Zhu Yunge for the time being.

Moreover, as the president of the Adventurers' Guild, Zhu Yunge herself is quite powerful.

Without intervention from higher-level transcendents, it would be very difficult for an ordinary sixth-tier transcendent to kill or capture Zhu Yunge.

As someone ranked high on the Federation's blacklist, his contribution in capturing a fifth-tier transcendent being with the Eye of Truth was immense.

At the very least, thanks to this achievement, Zhu Yunge and the Adventurers' Guild of Hezhou City have gained a lot of benefits, which is also the source of his confidence in fighting against sixth-tier superhumans.

However, as a family member, Zhu Yunge knew exactly where these benefits came from, so she naturally wouldn't let Zhang Che suffer a loss.

"The things I gave you before were from the Federation. The things inside are my and the Adventurers' Guild's thank-you gift to you." With that, Zhu Yunge opened the box, revealing a rectangular plaque that had been polished to a very neat finish.

The material of the sign resembled jade, but when Zhang Che touched it, he found it also had a metallic feel.

"What's this? Is it also a material for making cards?"

Zhang Che asked curiously, and was then glared at by Zhu Yunge in an annoyed manner.

"It can certainly be used as a card-making material, but with your current abilities, you probably can't handle high-level extraordinary materials."

"A high-level transcendent being! It?"

Zhang Che looked at the jade pendant with envy, thinking to himself that this was the first time he had ever come into contact with such a high-end item.

However, Zhu Yunge's voice quickly drew his attention back: "Alright, stop thinking about the materials for now. Let me tell you about the function of this hunting jade token."

Zhang Che quickly perked up his ears to listen.

When discussing hunting jade tokens, one must mention a special type of resource-based fissure.

As mentioned before, many of the subspaces that rifts lead to are actually stripped from some high-level transcendent worlds, and some high-level rifts even lead directly to another world.

Different levels of rifts will produce different levels of extraordinary resources.

Because some of the subspaces were not stripped away for too long, they still retain many high-level extraordinary resources inherited from the original world.

Meanwhile, due to the incomplete rules in the subspace, the high-level extraordinary beings living there either cannot tolerate the changes in the rules and die, or they hide in certain places to eke out a living, not daring to show themselves easily.

As for the remaining, weaker superhuman beings, they will be unable to advance to a higher level due to the incomplete rules in the subspace.

Just like the Void Rift that Zhang Che explored for the first time, due to the limitations of the rules, the extraordinary creatures born inside could never advance to the fourth rank.

Even with the blessing of spatial power, this rule still cannot be broken.

Such special fissures, where the danger and the reward are vastly different, are called resource-type fissures.

The Kongming Rift can barely be considered a resource-type rift at the lowest level, which is why Binhai City treats it like a treasure.

And to prolong its existence as much as possible.

However, thinking of the Echoing Rift, Zhang Che suddenly remembered that he also had a portion of the profits from the sea area connected to the other entrance of the Echoing Rift. He wondered how the development there was going.

Getting back to the main point, the hunting jade token that Zhu Yunge gave Zhang Che qualified him to explore any level 5 resource-type rift controlled by any adventurer guild.

Level 5 means that the highest level of extraordinary resources discovered there is roughly at the fifth rank standard, while the extraordinary creatures living there are mostly no stronger than the fourth rank.

"I remember there are several level 5 resource-type fissures in the provincial capital. I'll take my time to pick and choose, and see if I can find a suitable one. Consider it a good workout."

Zhu Yunge was not worried about Zhang Che's strength at all, after all, the masked man's strength was almost the same as hers before.

Zhang Che was able to capture his opponent alive with almost no injuries, which shows that his strength is undeniable.

Chapter 223 Being Watched

"Of course, if you really don't want to take the risk, you can sell this jade token to someone else, preferably the city guards or a university. The benefits you can get in return will definitely be more than with the Adventurers' Guild," Zhu Yunge reminded her at the end.

"Hmm." Zhang Che nodded, but he was already thinking about what to do with the treasure.

Actually, if possible, Zhang Che would really like to go into the rift himself, because only in this way can the value of this token be maximized.

If he sells it to someone else, the profit he can get will be greatly reduced.

After all, the difficulty of obtaining mid-level extraordinary materials on Earth will only increase. If Zhang Che wants to ensure the efficiency of card production in the future, he must consider the issue of raw materials in advance.

Zhang Che's biggest problem right now is that each card carrying special information requires three or more ordinary cards as fusion materials, which leads to his increasing demand for card-making materials.

Given the current situation on Blue Star, unless he joins a major power, he will have to personally enter the rift to collect materials once he reaches the sixth rank.

……

With all those he was supposed to say goodbye to gone, Zhang Che had no other thoughts left in this city.

It's time to leave and head to the next destination.

Compared to his quiet arrival, Zhang Che left without realizing it, having formed connections with many people in the city.

Without much sentimentality or tears, Chang Cheh, just like when he arrived, sat in the alchemy cart with another person, embarking on a new journey under the watchful eyes of his relatives and friends.

The only difference was that the old man in the back seat had been replaced by a beautiful young woman.

Pan Tingting studied the structure of the alchemy vehicle the whole way, and it seemed that in addition to card making, the little girl also had some knowledge of alchemy.

Although card makers should strictly be considered a branch of alchemists, after so many years of development, the two professions have become clearly distinct, with virtually no overlap.

"Um, Mr. Zhang Che..." When Pan Tingting addressed Zhang Che in this way for the fifth time, the latter finally said with some helplessness that they were already acquaintances, and there was no need to always address him so politely; he could just call him by his name.

"Okay, sure." The little girl smiled even more happily.

"So, Zhang Che, what do you plan to do after you get to the provincial capital?" Pan Tingting asked curiously.

Even the most powerful superhumans need to eat and sleep, not to mention Zhang Che is a card maker, so his requirements for his living environment would naturally be higher, so as not to be disturbed when making cards.

Seeing that Zhang Che remained silent for a while, Pan Tingting directly stated her purpose, saying that if she went to the provincial capital this time, she would stay in the house her family had purchased there.

If Zhang Che doesn't mind, he can move in and live with her.

"That house is actually quite big, and I feel a little uneasy living there by myself. It's definitely not because I meant anything by it," Pan Tingting added, trying to cover up her misunderstanding.

"Let's forget about it." Zhang Che ultimately chose to politely decline the young girl's offer. "After you go to the provincial capital, you should focus on advancing to the intermediate-level extraordinary realm as soon as possible."

"During this time, I will also try my best to study the notes left by your grandfather, and try to master the basic techniques of rubbing before you finish your studies."

However, Pan Tingting seemed to misunderstand something after hearing these words, and immediately said that she would definitely work hard to advance to the middle-level extraordinary level and would never hold Zhang Che back!

Zhang Che: ...

Never mind, whatever makes you happy.

……

The road to the provincial capital wasn't all deserted wilderness; you could still encounter some cities along the way.

However, none of them are large in scale, at most about the same size as the former Hezhou City.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to rest and recuperate in the city, Pan Tingting also made sure to tidy herself up from head to toe.

To be fair, despite being pampered since childhood, this girl didn't complain once during her time living in the wild, which made Zhang Che look at her with new respect.

Moreover, they encountered several attacks from extraordinary creatures along the way, but they were all at the lower level of extraordinary beings. Zhang Che was too lazy to take action and left them all to Pan Tingting to handle.

This will also increase her practical experience.

Unfortunately, while the idea was wonderful, the girl's "coordination" trait provided an overwhelming boost to actual combat.

Pan Tingting can basically activate two cards at will, and then "coordinate" them, and she can take down several Tier 3 extraordinary creatures as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

If we could reliably summon [Silver Wind] and [Armor Wings], and then coordinate them...

Just thinking about it is terrifying!

……

After entering the city, Zhang Che found a place to have dinner and was about to return to his lodgings to rest when he suddenly noticed several unusual auras entering his perception range.

If he remembered correctly, several people had appeared near them in recent years when he and Pan Tingting first came to the city.

It was obvious that he was being watched.

Zhang Che's first thought was the Eye of Truth. After all, he had killed and captured three mid-level transcendents from their family. They wouldn't dare to provoke Zhu Yunge, who was at the fifth rank, but he was an easy target to try.

Otherwise, if they suffer such severe losses in Hezhou City and then remain silent, it wouldn't be a good thing for the Eye of Truth.

Of course, there was also the most important reason—he sensed the familiar metallic scent emanating from those guys.

Although he had lost his "sixth sense," he would never forget that strange spiritual power.

"So this city has also been infiltrated by the Eye of Truth? Those guys really don't discriminate." Zhang Che thought to himself, but quickened his pace and, taking advantage of the people coming and going on the street, quickly shook off the few informants.

Regardless of whether they are from the Eye of Truth or not, it is not a good thing to rashly start a conflict in the city, after all, the safety of ordinary people must be considered.

Zhang Che hurried back to his residence and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Pan Tingting was safe and sound.

I'm not afraid of those guys targeting me, but I'm afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

If something were to happen to this girl, he would truly be too ashamed to face Pan Yue.

"Get some rest. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning. We might be being watched by the Eye of Truth." Zhang Che didn't hide anything and briefly explained the situation.

"The Eye of Truth!" Upon hearing this name, Pan Tingting instinctively shrank back.

Pan Yue and Zhao Lanzhi both belonged to the Federation. Although they hadn't known each other for long, they had a fairly good relationship.

This indirectly led to a good relationship between Pan Tingting and Zhao Lanzhi. However, after learning about Zhao Lanzhi's true identity and that all her past memories might have been a facade, Pan Tingting suffered a significant blow.

I had finally calmed down a bit, but unexpectedly, the Eye of Truth suddenly appeared and activated me again.

"Zhang Che, if possible, when we really encounter someone with the Eye of Truth, could you let me handle it?" Pan Tingting took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination.

“Of course, no problem, as long as they have the guts to show up in front of us…” Zhang Che smiled gently, which made Pan Tingting feel extremely reassured.

At six o'clock the next morning, Zhang Che and his companion had already left the city and once again entered the perilous wilderness.

Chapter 224 The Girl's First Battle

Pan Tingting did not get the chance to demonstrate her fighting prowess as she had hoped.

Perhaps because those guys from the Eye of Truth were too cautious, Zhang Che hasn't found any trace of them since he left the city.

"Zhang Che, are they planning to stay in the city and cause trouble?" Pan Tingting was clearly worried.
