Chapter 312: 312
Edited by Aelryinth
By the time they returned to the Huang family’s ancestral house again, it was close to midnight .
Zhang Che was resting in the guest room, wondering if Miss Tienan would visit him in the middle of the night .
-Mhm, that’s impossible . Not even in my dreams!-
As he expected, he had a good night’s sleep, only dreaming of himself sitting on a mountain of purple-gold crystals, smiling stupidly to himself . It left him very unsatisfied when he woke up .
However, in the next moment, he couldn’t help but show a faint smile .
That five-star silver-quality Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly had advanced to gold-quality, as he anticipated!
[Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly]
Level: Five Star (Level 50)
Quality: Gold
Type: Original Combat Body
Characteristics: Able to Disperse Hallucination Powder, Causing Those Affected to Become Mentally Confused

Innate Attribute: Amplified Confusion . The Effects of the Hallucination-Inducing Poisonous Powders are Greatly Amplified .
Skill: Enchant . Allows Temporary Control of Three Targets at Maximum After Activation, Obeying Any and All Commands . Lasts 20 Minutes, Cooldown Time: 30 Minutes . (Note: Skill is Ineffective Against Six-Star Dark Gold-Quality and Above Beasts, and Effect is Increasingly Stronger Against Weaker Beasts . Has Terrifying Effects on Humans . Non-High-Tier Beastmasters are Unable to Resist When Caught Unguarded . )
Potential: B Rank
However, after checking the beast card’s attributes, Zhang Che couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed .
Its basic attributes weren’t very different than before . Compared to the two-star gold-quality version, the five-star gold-quality Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly mainly had better skill effects .
The number of targets it could control increased from one to three, and the duration was now twenty minutes . Also, it had certain effects against exotic beasts at six-star dark gold-quality or below .
However, what Zhang Che looked forward to the most was its effect against humans . There weren’t any changes; it was still unable to do anything against high-tier beastmasters .
Thinking about it, however, the effects were already very terrifying . It was only at gold-quality . When it rose to dark gold-quality in the future, it might have a qualitative increase in abilities .
Wouldn’t it be a little too overpowered if he could control high-tier beastmasters now?
“Time to wake up, Zhang Xiaoche!”
Just as Zhang Che was thinking about all these things, Huang Tielan’s voice suddenly rang out from outside .
“Alright . Let me wash my face first . ”
Zhang Che put on his clothes and crawled out of bed . He went to wash up in a hurry . When he walked out, he saw Miss Tienan standing at the corridor outside in a cheerful mood, with the millstone-sized Demonic Rainbow Spider Caihong behind her, and the Four-winged White Tiger cub, Xiaobai, in her arms . His big cat-sized head was laying comfortably on Huang Tielan’s chest, drawing jealousy from Zhang Che .
The most infuriating thing was, that little fellow opened his eyes and bared his fangs at Zhang Che when he saw the latter walking out . It seemed the cub was still unfamiliar with him .

-Hm, when did I offend this little thing, to show me an attitude the moment we met?- Zhang Che was depressed .
The Demonic Rainbow Crystal seemed very dissatisfied that the Four-winged White Tiger had stolen his “motherly love” from him . Seeing Zhang Che walking out, he immediately crawled forward and up along Zhang Che’s clothes, and into his arms .
Zhang Che’s expression immediately stiffened .
This freaking thing was filled with lethal poison everywhere . What should Zhang Che do if the baby spider accidentally bit him?
Moreover, Zhang Che hadn’t liked such furry insects since he was a kid . He immediately felt uncomfortable all over . However, Miss Tienan was looking at the side, smiling . He could only summon his courage and extended his arms, holding onto this really pretty, but extremely dangerous Demonic Rainbow Spider, and headed to the living hall with Huang Tielan .
When they arrived at the living hall, the two Huang elders and Huang Juyun were sitting around a table, with exquisite breakfast sets spread out before them .
“Quickly, we’re just waiting for you kids,” the granny beckoned them over with a smile .
Zhang Che didn’t dare to take it slow . He walked over and greeted them accordingly in a respectful manner, then sat beside Huang Juyun . The whole family then started on their breakfast .
After breakfast, Huang Tielan went to school to continue her pre-school term training, while Zhang Che was called on by Huang Juyun . The two directly took a car and headed to the City Administration building in Bei Du .
“The personal terminal you’re using now isn’t very safe . I applied an encrypted special model for you; this way, you won’t have to worry about your calls being spied on in the future . Mhm, there’s also one for your mother . I applied for one for her, too . Just grab them both when we’re at the city administration building later . ”
Zhang Che was greatly moved . This father-in-law had really thought of everything!
Seeing the agitation on Zhang Che’s face, Huang Juyun hurriedly raised his hand and stopped him from saying the words that were already at the tip of his tongue, “No need for thanks . Like I said, we’re family . Don’t bother about this kind of stuff . ”

When they arrived at Bei Du City’s City Administrative building, the two were guided by a staffer and they directly received Zhang Che and Huang Tielan’s special model personal terminals . From now on, they didn’t need to worry about people with ulterior motives spying on them .
{TLN: Maybe it’s a typo by the author? Or perhaps Huang Juyun applied one for Huang Tielan too . Not sure . }
When they returned to the car, Huang Juyun suddenly pointed at Zhang Che’s personal terminal and said, “Right, go open your account . I opened up a purple crystal account for you . I’ll transfer the money over to you now . ”
-So efficient!-
As expected of a large house with great influence in the army! Goods worth a few dozen million purple crystal points were settled in one night!
Zhang Che nodded . He raised his left hand and opened the new special model personal terminal . He found his bank account and indeed, he realized there was another row for his encrypted purple crystal account .
Huang Juyun opened up his personal terminal, too . He sent a transfer request to Zhang Che, and quickly completed the funds transfer .
Zhang Che opened his purple crystal account to take a look . He was so shocked that his jaw went loose .
A number three was at the front, followed by a string of zeros . Counting them carefully, the total balance was thirty million points!
In other words, Huang Juyun had already used the remaining few million purple crystal points to equip Liu Gang’s squad . The balance was rounded and transferred to Zhang Che .
In that case, his father-in-law didn’t even take any “commission” from him!
“Uncle Huang, I don’t need that much by himself . It’s better that you…”
Huang Juyun directly interrupted him with a wave of his hand, “No need . You risked your life for all this in the secret plane . Why would I take what’s yours? Although, I won’t be taking responsibility for any of Lanlan’s expenditure from now on . You’ll handle that all by yourself . ”

Zhang Che nodded heavily . “Rest assured, Uncle Huang . I’ll buy whatever Tielan wants!”
Huang Juyun burst out in laughter, “What if she wants the stars in the sky? Can you get that for her too?”
Zhang Che: …
Taking a “not-on-the-way” ride on Huang Juyun’s car back to the villa district in central Bei Du, Zhang Che walked back to his home after saying goodbye to his father-in-law .
“Mom, I’m back!”
When he returned home, Zhang Che took out the special model personal terminal Huang Juyun got for him through his connections, and had Sun Lan activate it . From now on, they didn’t have to worry about their calls and location being found out by others .
Well, at the very least, Zhen Manting’s Tri Special Intelligence Bureau wouldn’t be able to find out…
After activating the new personal terminal, their core chip on the old one was automatically destroyed . They only needed to dump it into the trash can .
As for why she needed to change to a new personal terminal, Zhang Che didn’t explain to his mother about the troubles he had caused . He didn’t want her to worry, only saying that Huang Juyun applied for the personal terminals for them specially, to prevent some unwanted incidents .
Through this trivial matter, Sun Lan finally felt the extent of the Huang family’s influence . She couldn’t help but remind Zhang Che, “Xiaoche, Lanlan’s family treats us so well; you mustn’t let her down . Understand?”
Zhang Che nodded with a smile, “Don’t worry, mom . I won’t be able to find a second girl as good as Tielan . I won’t be that silly to let her down!”
“That’s good, then . Mom is at ease now . ”
Zhang Che noticed his mother’s complexion seemed a little off . A hint of worry seemed to cloud her face . His heart tightened uncontrollably, and he hurriedly asked, “Mom, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
Although the Unicorn had fully treated Sun Lan’s illness, Zhang Che couldn’t help but worry about her seeing her looking like this .
Sun Lan shook her head . Afterwards, her expression changed slightly a few times, before she finally sighed and asked, “Xiaoche, can you ask the Huang family to help mom with something? Uhm, it’s a very small matter . It shouldn’t be very troublesome . ”
