Although Agumon couldn't understand why its master was so agitated, it obediently followed orders and called out again, "Ah-Xing..."

"Oh my god! Agumon, you can really talk! That's so cool!"

Fu Xing hugged Agumon tightly, jumping and skipping around like a nineteen-year-old child.

Agumon was struggling to breathe from being choked, and cried out, "Ah Xing, let me go!" but Fu Xing didn't hear him at all.

The commotion naturally attracted the attention of the other two.

They might not have heard Agumon's first words clearly, but they heard everything he said after he was lifted up by Fu Xing.

Then both of them were stunned.

What confused Yu Renjia was that, according to his understanding, for alchemical summons in summoning cards to speak human language, they would need to be at least Tier 4. Only at this stage could card makers create humanoid or humanoid cards, thus endowing them with a higher level of intelligence.

But now a second-tier blue card can speak human language, and Yu Renjia feels like his worldview is about to explode.

Zhang Che's situation wasn't much better—the [Tidal Sea Spirit] he created earlier didn't speak human language like the hero character in his memory, so he subconsciously assumed that [Agumon] would be the same, without even confirming it beforehand.

But now that I think about it, speaking human language is actually an instinct of digital life forms like Digimon. They can basically control it on their own once they reach the Baby II stage, not to mention Agumon, which is in its Rookie stage.

Although the Agumon in front of us isn't a true Digimon, it was created based on its information and therefore naturally possesses the underlying code to speak human language.

Of course, Chang Cheh couldn't let his guard down, so he quickly put on a shocked expression, his face full of disbelief, his mouth slightly open, his eyes wide, and he almost believed it himself.

With the two people staring at him like that, Fu Xing slowly came back to his senses from his initial excitement.

He hugged Agumon tightly, took two steps back, and said weakly, "Um, I've already mentally bound myself to Agumon, you can't take it away from me..."

Fu Xing's words made Zhang Che and Yu Renjia unable to hold back their laughter.

"Don't worry, we won't steal from you," Zhang Che waved his hand.

“Exactly, who cares about your pathetic lizard?” Yu Renjia rolled his eyes.

"It's not a broken lizard!" Fu Xing immediately retorted. "It's called Agumon! And it can talk!"

Yu Renjia simply ignored him.

Because of Zhang Che's feigned ignorance, Yu Renjia and Fu Xing didn't get any useful information from him. Furthermore, since they had also received a favor from Zhang Che, they couldn't press him further and could only tacitly accept Agumon as a beautiful accident.

However, just to be on the safe side, Zhang Che still reminded Fu Xing not to reveal Agumon's special abilities to outsiders. Otherwise, they might get into big trouble.

Fu Xing's expression turned serious, and he quickly nodded: "I understand."

He paused, then weakly raised his hand: "Um... can Sister Qing say?"

Yu Renjia didn't respond, but Zhang Che directly handed the decision over to Fu Xing: "You decide for yourself."

Then Fu Xing hugged Agumon and fell into deep thought.

While he was standing there in a daze, Yu Renjia approached Zhang Che again, saying that he wanted to buy a card for someone else this time.

"Who?" Zhang Che asked.

“Lin Xiaoyi, the senior who teamed up with me for quests before,” Yu Renjia said. “I promised to introduce you to her, but because of the Fishman Disaster, I haven’t had a chance to come. This is a good opportunity to ask her for her.”

Zhang Che nodded. He was happy to have a middleman help him sell cards, which would save him from dealing with too many strangers.

What are her requirements?

"Someone who can deal with fish-men attacks like Six-Tailed Fox would be best if she were also a fluffy and cute type, since she likes cute things." Yu Renjia thought for a moment and then stated some of Lin Xiaoyi's requirements.

"Of course, not all conditions need to be met," he quickly added.

Upon hearing this, a card immediately flashed through Zhang Che's mind. He turned around, rummaged through his studio, and handed it to Yu Renjia.

"Here, a wood-attribute summon, which is very effective against water-attribute extraordinary creatures. Plus, it's the fluffy and cute type, which should meet your senior's requirements."

Yu Renjia took the card and looked down at it.

Card Name: New Leaf Cat (Wood)

Type: Summoning Card

Level: Tier 2

Grade: Blue

Skills: Magic Leaf, Quick Attack

Talent: Lush

(Note: They can be really fierce when they fight!)

The picture shows a small green cat covered in light green fur, with pointed ears and a tender leaf at the end of its tail. It is tilting its head, looking out of the picture with its big amber eyes, with an innocent expression.

Chapter 38 [Ibrahimovic]; Something's not right with you, kid.

Yu Renjia stared at the card for a few seconds, then looked up at Zhang Che and couldn't help but ask, "Just how many strange things are in your head?"

Zhang Che smiled but did not answer.

The second-tier blue card corresponds perfectly to Lin Xiaoyi's current strength level, and since wood counters water, it will be very useful in the current war against the fishmen.

"How much?" Yu Renjia asked.

"Eighty thousand star coins." Zhang Che quoted a number. Lin Xiaoyi wasn't an acquaintance of his, so there was no discount.

Yu Renjia nodded. This price was a bit higher than that of blue cards of the same level on the market, but considering that Zhang Che's cards always exceeded expectations, 80,000 was not expensive.

"Senior Lin is still on the front lines. Once I bring the card over, she'll check it and, if everything is okay, transfer the money directly to your account."

"Row."

Yu Renjia carefully put away [New Leaf Cat], but showed no intention of leaving.

Zhang Che glanced at him: "Is there anything else?"

"Yeah, I'm still buying cards for someone else." Yu Renjia gave a wry smile and explained, "There's nothing I can do about it; the advertising for [Tidal Ocean Spirit] is just too effective."

Zhang Che raised an eyebrow: "Who?"

"It's the female officer from the city guard who recently led me on a mission; her name is Zhu Yingqi."

What kind of card does she want?

Although the city guard's signboard was quite intimidating, Zhang Che saw them as just ordinary buyers.

Yu Renjia organized his thoughts: "Sister Yingqi said she's been under a lot of pressure lately and wants to buy a sentient summon to keep her company, but she doesn't care about its combat power."

The advantage of card summons is that they are not afraid of dying and can be recycled at any time, so you don't have to worry about them getting into trouble on the battlefield.

These words were conveyed by Yu Renjia, but Zhang Che could tell that the female officer must have experienced similar painful past events, which was why her request was so specific.

“Of course, no problem.” Zhang Che went back into the studio and soon handed a card to Yu Renjia.

Card Name: Ibrahimovic

Type: Summoning Card

Level: Tier 2

Grade: Blue

Skills: Guard, Quick Attack

Talent: Danger Foresight

(Note: Its future is full of uncertainties.)

The card depicts a small, fluffy brown animal, about the size of a cat, with large ears and a bushy tail. Its eyes are round and bright, and its expression is gentle; it certainly looks like it would be a perfect pet.

“Since Commander Zhu wants to be on the front lines, this [Eevee] is perfect for her,” Zhang Che explained with a smile. “While its overall strength is relatively weak among second-tier blue cards, it has three advantages—”

Zhang Che began to introduce Eevee's various abilities: Quick Attack allows for rapid movement to provide support; Protect creates a protective shield to save lives in critical moments; and Premonition allows Eevee to sense dangers in the surroundings in advance.

This card is perfect for a commander-type character.

Yu Renjia looked at the Eevee on the card and found the little guy more and more lovable.

"And—" Zhang Che lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Eevee has unlimited potential for growth, and there might be some extra surprises in the future."

Yu Renjia was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed." Zhang Che waved his hand, his face enigmatic.

That being said, he himself was not sure whether these cards would retain the evolutionary capabilities of their original counterparts.

The main reason was that Agumon's performance just now reminded Zhang Che that these cards, which were made up of information he brought from his previous life, were not simply alchemical creations.

They seem to possess inherent characteristics that transcend ordinary cards, such as speaking human language, having independent consciousness, or perhaps...

It may possess the ability to evolve.

However, Zhang Che himself hadn't figured these things out yet, so he didn't dare to say much. He could only hope that the owners of these cards would bring him some surprises.

……

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to talk, Yu Renjia did not press the matter.

Zhang Che originally thought that his transaction with Zhu Yingqi would be like his transaction with Lin Xiaoyi, where money was exchanged for goods. However, the next second he saw Yu Renjia pull out a bank card with the city guard's exclusive mark and the three words "Zhu Yingqi" clearly printed on it.

“This is…” Zhang Che looked up at Yu Renjia.

“Sister Yingqi gave it to me,” Yu Renjia said. “She said the money for the card would be deducted directly from this account, and if it’s not enough, she can make up the difference later.”

Zhang Che took the bank card and examined it carefully, turning it over and over in his hand. This was the first time he had ever seen a bank card specifically for the city guards.

"Okay." He found the POS machine his master had left behind, inserted the card, and made a few operations. "It's also 80,000, no problem, right?"

"no problem."

The transaction was completed, and Yu Renjia had just put away his bank card. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he felt two burning gazes staring at him.

Fu Xing had somehow gotten close, still holding Agumon in his arms, with a mischievous grin on his face; Zhang Che, on the other hand, was leaning back on the sofa with his arms crossed, his face full of gossip.

"I've been listening to you calling her 'Sister Yingqi' all this time," Fu Xing said, narrowing his eyes. "Hurry up and tell me the truth!"

"Explain what?" Yu Renjia asked innocently.

"What exactly is your relationship with that female officer?" Fu Xing pressed on, "You even said you're 'under a lot of pressure and want to get a pet for company'—do you believe that?"

Zhang Che nodded in agreement with Fu Xing's point of view.

Yu Renjia looked helpless: "Yingqi and I are completely innocent. It's just a simple camaraderie between comrades-in-arms. At most, we just got along a little better."
