Chapter 90
Translated and Edited by: La0o9
Half an hour later .
Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao were standing in front of a row of buildings .
“You know” Gu Qing Shan pointed at the buildings and said: “I would have been able to find this place myself”
They were standing in front of a huge technology skyscraper, the sign on it says “Confederate Department of Technology”
The Confederate Department of Technology is one of the most well-guarded places in the entire Confederate, as many of the cutting edge breakthrough in technology are being experimented on and protected here .
There were at least 20 Martial Eminence guarding this place .
An orbital satellite is on surveillance 24/7, as well as two squads of Mech Fighters on periodic patrols .
6 Interstellar Warships are patrolling the airspace back and forth .
And Impartial Goddess herself is always paying attention here .
Zhang Ying Hao looked up at the patrolling Warship, then said: “That’s right, this place certainly does have space monster parts, my black cat isn’t wrong”
“But the price to get in is too high” Gu Qing Shan said .
“You’re also right” Zhang Ying Hao squats down again, softly speaking: “Hey precious, this place won’t do, can you choose a different one please?”
The black cat listened, then looked at the two of them, and at the Confederate Department of Technology building, then meow in disdain .
--------scaredy cats, the place is right there and you can’t even enter .
The black cat then turns around and went another direction .
“Let’s go”
“Ok”
They followed it .
Another hour later .

A casino .
An extremely crowded casino .
As Zhang Ying Hao arrived, he looked at it in surprise .
“What’s wrong?” Gu Qing Shan asked .
“They even have space monster parts now?” Zhang Ying Hao spoke in disbelief .
“You know this place?”
“I do, but not very well, this used to be a place to exchange information”
“Seems like they’ve begun a different business now”
As they were talking, the black cat dove down into the ground and disappeared .
“The skill’s time ran out, so it must be here” Zhang Ying Hao said, then asked: “Do you have Merit? To enter the core facilities, you’ll need to exchange Merit for betting chips”
“I might not have much else, but Merit I never lack”
When he heard about Merit, Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt a bit more confident .
As he used Merits to exchange for a large amount of betting chips, a servant arrived and respectfully led them to the elevator .
There were about 20 elevators in the main lobby, and the elevators only allow one group of customers to enter at a time .
As the servant entered one of them, he asked: “So what do you want to enjoy, dear customers?”
“We -------“ Zhang Ying Hao glanced at Gu Qing Shan .
“The more special the better” Gu Qing Shan smiled at the servant .
The servant took a look at their betting chip box .
The chip box was filled to the brim with the highest valued red chips .
Then he showed them a smile: “Dear distinguished customers, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed”

Then he pushed a button on the elevator .
-70th floor .
The elevator quickly moved and only started to slow down after a few minutes .
Ting!
The clear sound of the bell .
Doors opened .
What appeared in front of them was an impressively large lake .
“An underground lake?” Zhang Ying Hao .
Getting off the elevator, they were led by the servant to a high VIP boxed seat near the lake .
Along the lake, many other VIP boxed seats were already filled with customers .
The boxed seats are all reinforced, there were even weapons prepared on the side that faces the lake .
After the servant took out an intercom to ask below, he addressed them: “The previous round has ended, so the next round will start shortly, please wait for a bit”
Some excellent dishes as well as famous wine were served .
As the two of them didn’t care for the food and drinks, they only sat silently, waiting until the servant said: “It’s starting”
A figure flew towards the center of the lake .
As the lake was too large, he only made it halfway before he started to fall down .
But then he suddenly stepped on the air, gained more force and continued to fly forward .
Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao exchanged looks .
To borrow power from the air, this is a Martial Eminence .
A Grandmaster that wants to reach this level would need resource, talent and luck, not even one factor could be lacking .

As the Martial Eminence made it to the wooden dinghy in the middle of the lake, he dropped something down from his shoulder .
It was an unconscious man .
As he put the man down, the Martial Eminence flew off the dinghy and out of the underground lake .
Then, the man started to move again as he regained consciousness .
It was now that the servant said: “You can make your bets now”
“How do I bet?” Zhang Ying Hao asked .
The servant: “From 0 seconds being the lowest, you can bet how long he’ll survive, the longest you can go is 3 minutes ----------as the man will be considered to have won if he survives for 3 minutes .
“There is a total of 3 rounds today, the person who wins the most today will also get the lucky grand prize”
“What is the lucky grand prize?” Zhang Ying Hao asked .
“It’s different every day, but today it’s either a space monster part, or a strange person” the servant replied .
They looked at each other .
Gu Qing Shan spoke in a low voice: “Your God's Chosen Skill isn’t too bad”
Zhang Ying Hao shrugged: “I use it to make a living after all”
Gu Qing Shan looked down at the lake, asking: “What’s in the lake?”
They could only see a large shadow swimming under the lake .
“An extinct ancient beast, revived using genetic modification, it’s been left hungry for 2 days” the servant smiled .
At the same time, on a VIP boxed seat to the right of Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao .
A middle-aged man laughed as he stood up and tossed a glass full of red liquid at the lake .
His throwing strength is quite good, as the glass fell right near the middle of the lake .
The red liquid flowed outward and quickly spread .
You could see the shadow under the lake become more agitated .
Zhang Ying Hao’s noise twitched a bit, muttering: “That’s blood”
“There’s no problem with him doing that?” Gu Qing Shan asked the servant .
“You can’t directly kill the person in the middle of the lake, but aside from that, you can do as you please” the servant smiled and replied .
On the right boxed seats, the middle-aged man spoke like he was showing off to his companion: “Look, this giant thing is really good with his mouth, last time he only took one bite to shear a person in half”
The woman sitting next to him yawned, uninterestedly answered: “Is that right? How scary”
The woman casually looked away, glancing at the other boxed seats to see Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao .
Those two are quite good looking .
She was a bit surprised, then decided to lean over to look at them carefully .
The woman’s eyes lit up .
Zhang Ying Hao’s figure is only decent, but from many years of good education and living a fulfilling life, he naturally exudes an aura of high Aristocracy .
Gu Qing Shan was a bit younger, but he had a handsome, youthful face, as he elegantly sat there, he carried a clean air, emitting an unknown aura that draws you in and leave you unconsciously satisfied as you watch .
As they’re both her type, she held nothing back staring at them .
This type of blatant staring, how could it not draw the two’s attention?
Zhang Ying Hao is still fine . Since he has been in and out a lot during the last few years, he’s already used to being stared at by both men and women . Thus he only took notice before ignoring the woman entirely .
But Gu Qing Shan isn’t the same . As soon as his spirit sense felt someone watching him, he immediately reacted and looked .
Who? What do they want?
He saw the woman right away .
As the woman was hit by his sight, her entire body couldn’t help but instinctively tense up and freeze solid .
In a single moment, her entire mind was blank, unable to think .
This feeling was just like the time when she was 6 years old, when she slipped and fell into the predator den at the zoo . The same feeling as when she was seen by the lions there, slowly walking forward as they prepared to lunge and strike .
