Chapter 9 The Lin Family Has a "Mine"

He Feng stood on the podium and said to the students, "That's all for today. Those preparing for the advanced academy promotion, get ready. Three days from now, report to the Investigation Division of the Martial Arts Bureau. For these three days, adjust your condition. Once at the Investigation Division, hunting traitors of the Ten Thousand Races Church will be a life-and-death battle. You must prioritize your own safety. I hope everyone who goes returns, not a single one less.

The rest of the students will go to the Academic Affairs Office after lunch to collect your team information. Although the danger level is relatively low within the academy, you must still pay attention to safety. Students, everything for the human race. Class dismissed."

All students in Class 9 of Year Three responded loudly, "Everything for the human race."

He Feng said to Lin Zhan, "Let's go, oh great Lin. Come with me to find the Dean."

The two arrived at the Dean's office and met Li Zhenshan.

He Feng spoke, "Dean, Lin Zhan also wants to participate in the advanced academy entrance exam. But he only promoted to Bronze a few days ago, and his level doesn't meet the standard."

Li Zhenshan looked at Lin Zhan, "Are you that confident? Little Golden is about to promote. Have you succeeded?"

"It's only about three to five days away. Moreover, I need to fight. Only by fighting and coordinating with my spiritual pet frequently can I continuously improve the compatibility between the spiritual pet and the master, thereby increasing the Beast Master's contract level," Lin Zhan replied.

Li Zhenshan turned to He Feng and said, "This kid has successfully contracted the Little Golden Dragon Python and has become a Beast Master. Furthermore, the Little Golden Dragon Python is about to level up. The spiritual pet leveling up will provide feedback to the master, promoting the master to also level up. Lin Zhan will soon be at the intermediate Bronze stage. You can register him."

"The Little Golden Dragon Python, is it Linglong's child? Lin Zhan is truly lucky. Linglong and Jin Jiao's bloodline is very pure. Their child has the potential to be promoted to a Lord-class Golden Dragon!"

"Dean, I understand. I'll go register Lin Zhan now," He Feng agreed.

Lin Zhan bid farewell to Li Zhenshan, "Thank you, Dean. I'll go prepare as well."

"Be sure to pay attention to safety," Li Zhenshan cautioned.

Lin Zhan bid farewell to Li Zhenshan and He Feng.

He then took out his phone and walked towards the main gate. Due to the influence of the Myriad Races Space, all technological powers had become ineffective. To facilitate their lives, humans researched energy technology using ferocious beast cores as energy carriers. In terms of weaponry, aside from large energy cannons, small energy weapons did not possess the damage of arrows or javelins shot by Bronze-grade martial artists. Moreover, they were too costly and not cost-effective. It was more sensible to conserve resources and cultivate more martial artists. Most of the energy technology had been repurposed for serving the people's lives, just like the phone Lin Zhan was using, which was a type of quantum communication developed using energy technology.

"Zhan'er, I've reached the main gate," Lin Shanhe's voice came from Lin Zhan's phone.

Seeing his father waiting at the main gate, Lin Zhan cheerfully walked over.

"Dad, is everything ready?" Lin Zhan asked as he walked back towards the academy with his father.

"It's ready. Two sets of throwing knives, 16 in each set. The two rows of 12 knives below are made from the fangs of Golden-grade Ghost Wolves. Following Old Man Li's advice, tungsten steel was added. The four knives inserted horizontally above are made from Platinum-grade Ghost Wolf fangs, with significantly better penetration than the golden ones.

I've also prepared 20 Platinum-grade, 15 Golden-grade, and 5 Silver-grade ferocious beast cores for you. The Bronze and Silver-grade beast cores are too low in level, I didn't keep any. These 5 Silver-grade ones are snake beast cores containing Flood Dragon bloodlines, which I kept when Linglong was Silver-grade, intending to give them to her as snacks.

Can you even use so many Platinum-grade beast cores? Aren't they of low level?"

Lin Zhan's eyes gleamed upon seeing the beast cores his father brought. This dad was too awesome, he didn't realize he was such a tycoon.

"Dad, where did you get so many Platinum-grade beast cores? Do we still have some at home?,"

"I killed them when I was guarding the Taotie battlefield. We don't have low-level ones at home anymore. Only 3 Diamond-peak and 1 Diamond-initial stage Taotie beast cores remain. Oh, and 2 Lord-class beast cores your grandfather killed. These were originally kept by your grandfather for me to use when I reached Lord-class, but since I couldn't use them after he died, I'll keep them for you," Lin Shanhe said to his son, his eyes carrying a hint of killing intent as he recalled the battlefield and his father.

"Dad, give me a moment. What kind of family is this? Do we have a mine? You call beast cores below Diamond-grade 'low-level beast cores'."

"You mentioning it, I just remembered. Ancestor Di Xin killed a King-grade One-Eyed beast and obtained a spiritual-type King Core. This was originally for your grandfather to advance to King-grade, but after your grandfather died, this King Core remained in our family. As a Beast Master, it will definitely be very useful to you in the future."

Lin Zhan...: I've seen wealthy people, but never this wealthy.

Lin Shanhe continued, "Don't worry about the beast cores. Your mother has contacted your maternal grandfather and your two uncles, and told them about your situation. Your maternal grandfather has stated that each of them will provide no less than 30 Platinum-grade beast cores. Your maternal grandfather will also prepare 5 Diamond-grade beast cores for you.

Son, you must work hard. With so many resources, even a pig could be raised to Lord-class. Don't disgrace our Lin family!"

Lin Zhan...: This is truly my biological father. If I were a pig, what would that make you?

After parting ways with his father, Lin Zhan went to the academy's training room alone.

"System, query exchangeable beast cores."

"Discovered exchangeable beast cores. Platinum-peak beast cores, 10, exchangeable for 500,000 Evolution Points.

Platinum-high-level beast cores, 10, exchangeable for 300,000 Evolution Points.

Golden-peak beast cores, 15, exchangeable for 75,000 Evolution Points.

Silver-peak beast cores, 5, exchangeable for 2,500 Evolution Points. Host, do you wish to proceed with the exchange?"

"System, you're not scamming me this time, are you? What's this exchange rate?" Lin Zhan said suspiciously to the system, this system didn't seem like a good person.

"Silver-grade beast cores: initial stage 100 Evolution Points, middle stage 200, high stage 300, peak 500. Golden starts at 1000 Evolution Points, Platinum starts at 10,000 Evolution Points, and so on. The ratio is the same.

Friendly reminder to Host, using beast cores with the same bloodline can be directly fed to the spiritual pet. This is better than directly using Evolution Points to evolve the spiritual pet.

Most of the Host's beast cores are Taotie ferocious beast cores, which can be directly fed to Little Golden. The downside is that it requires a lot of time to absorb the beast core energy, but the Host can use Evolution Points to speed up Little Golden's absorption."

Lin Zhan calculated and said to the system, "Exchange 10 Golden-grade beast cores and 10 Platinum-high-level beast cores."

"Ding, exchange complete. Received 350,000 Evolution Points."

"Accelerate Little Golden's evolution process."

"Spent 300 Evolution Points to accelerate the evolution process of spiritual pet Little Golden. Acceleration complete.

Spiritual pet has successfully evolved. Please summon it, Host."
