Chapter 35 Talent Upgrade Card
"Is this a Black-Maned Lion Cub?!"
Zhao Feiyu's voice suddenly rose two octaves, his face filled with shock. "How did you get it?"
"Its mother was A-rank 4 Black-Maned Lion King that was killed by the Night Owl Squad, so I brought it back," Chu Han explained.
"What about the Night Owl Squad then?" Zhao Feiyu asked in surprise.
In Chu Han's simple sentence, there seemed to be many things he didn't know.
"Night Owl and the Black-Maned Lion King both suffered heavy losses, so I killed them," Chu Han smiled.
Zhao Feiyu didn't believe things were as simple as Chu Han said. While he was busy cultivating, Chu Han had actually done something so major.
However, he didn't press further. Instead, he reached out to take the small beast from Chu Han's backpack and held it in his arms to examine it.
"Eh, it really is a Black-Maned Lion Cub, and its Bloodline seems to have mutated."
Zhao Feiyu let out a sound of surprise and immediately held his breath, a faint purple glow appearing in his eyes.
This was a special ability of his Mad Lion Bloodline, allowing him to sense the Bloodline purity and potential of similar exotic beasts.
He sent a trace of subtle elemental energy through his fingertips into the cub's body. After a moment, he said, "I'm certain this cub's Bloodline has mutated! Look at the fur on its neck; there are faint dark-gold patterns. This isn't a characteristic of a Black-Maned Lion."
Chu Han leaned in to look, and indeed, beneath the cub's jet-black fur, he found several strands of almost invisible dark-gold fine hair.
"Will a mutated Black-Maned Lion be more powerful?" Chu Han inquired.
"Of course. This cub's potential is very high, and it's extremely likely to grow into A-rank 5 exotic beast! If nurtured well, even becoming Rank 6 is possible!"
Chu Han's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Then its value should be higher too, right?"
"Naturally," Zhao Feiyu asked again, "Brother Han, are you planning to sell it?"
Chu Han nodded. "I don't have the conditions to raise such an exotic beast, and I don't have any talent for beast taming."
He looked at Zhao Feiyu and said, "Feiyu, I plan to sell it to a knowledgeable buyer who won't mistreat it and will raise it well. Your talent is related to lion-type exotic beasts; do you know any buyers who might need it?"
Zhao Feiyu thought for a moment and said, "My family does often use lion-type exotic beast Materials for cultivation, like lion blood and lion bones, but no one has ever bought a cub. However, I can keep an eye out for relevant buyers for you. If there's any news, I'll notify you immediately."
"Alright then, I'll wait for your news."
Chu Han wasn't in a hurry to sell it, but he would have to raise this little guy for now.
The two of them started a fire at the cave entrance and then took some food out of their storage spaces.
At this time, the Black-Maned Lion Cub seemed to smell the scent and struggled to look over.
At the same time, it kept waving its claws, making "wuya, wuya" sounds from its mouth.
"This little guy must be hungry."
Chu Han took the cub in his hands, looked at the dried meat laid out on the ground, and took a piece to feed it.
The cub used its claws to push the dried meat into its mouth and chewed hard, but it was very difficult.
Having just been born, its teeth hadn't developed well; normally, it should still be nursing.
Seeing this, Zhao Feiyu smiled and took a bottle from his spatial bracelet that had the words 'Energy Nutrient Solution' written on it.
"Give it this to drink."
He unscrewed the cap, poured the milky-white nutrient solution into a lunch box, and handed it to the cub's mouth.
The cub sniffed it and immediately leaned over, its small tongue quickly licking it up, almost burying its entire head in the nutrient solution.
"It looks like I'll have to buy some nutrient solution to feed it in the future," Chu Han laughed.
After feeding the cub, the two of them also ate some food.
Then Chu Han placed the cub in his arms and closed his eyes to rest.
In the early morning of the next day, Chu Han woke up first while Zhao Feiyu and the Black-Maned Lion Cub were still fast asleep.
He entered the Lottery Space to conduct today's draw.
The rainbow wheel spun rapidly and finally came to a stop.
【Congratulations! You have obtained one "talent upgrade card"】
【talent upgrade card: Can upgrade a talent to A-rank.】
"talent upgrade card!"
Chu Han's heart pounded wildly; this was good stuff!
It could forcibly upgrade a talent to A-rank. For his current E-rank Talent, this was a leap-like improvement!
He suppressed the urge to use it immediately and left the card in the Lottery Space.
Zhao Feiyu was still there, so it wasn't convenient to use it directly.
Just then, Zhao Feiyu also woke up, rubbing his eyes as he asked, "Brother Han, you're up so early. When do we set off?"
"We'll leave after breakfast and head back to the wilderness supply base first."
Chu Han replied.
The two then ate some food, fed the cub some nutrient solution, and set off on the road back to the base.
Four hours later, the two finally returned to the base.
"Brother Han, I'll head back first. I'll notify you when there's news of a buyer." Zhao Feiyu was in a hurry to return to the city, so he parted ways with Chu Han.
Chu Han still had some things to sell, so he went directly to the Trading Center and contacted Du Kun.
As soon as Du Kun heard that Chu Han had arrived, he hurried out to greet him personally with great enthusiasm. "Mr. Chu! I wonder what good things you've brought this time?"
"Manager Du, I've brought some items this time and would like to trouble you to help me with an appraisal, but it doesn't seem very convenient here," Chu Han said with a smile.
Du Kun's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he quickly invited him, "Come, let's talk in the Trading Room!"
Chu Han and Du Kun arrived at the same Trading Room as last time. Without wasting words, he took out the carcasses of the Arrow-tailed Lions and the Black-Maned Lions from his space ring and placed them on the floor.
"Arrow-tailed Lion carcasses, and even Rank 2 ones, and they're all nearly complete!"
When Du Kun saw the several Arrow-tailed Lion carcasses, his eyes instantly glowed.
But immediately following that, the carcass of A-rank 3 Black-Maned Lion was brought out.
"This is a Black-Maned Lion! A-rank 3 exotic beast!"
Du Kun could no longer remain calm.
Chu Han being able to kill Rank 1 and Rank 2 Arrow-tailed Lions was within his expectations, but this Rank 3 Black-Maned Lion far exceeded them.
"There's more."
As Chu Han's voice came, Du Kun saw an even larger Black-Maned Lion carcass appear on top.
"This... this is actually A-rank 4 Black-Maned Lion King! This is simply incredible!"
Just like the last time he received Chu Han, the shock Chu Han brought him this time was not a bit less than before.
How many days had it been? Had Chu Han's strength grown to this extent already?
Du Kun hardly dared to imagine it. He had seen many super geniuses, but compared to Chu Han, they all fell short by more than just a little.
"And more."
At this moment, Chu Han's voice came again.
Following that, he took out some more exotic beast Materials, some of which Chu Han didn't even recognize.
As well as the weapons and equipment obtained from the Night Owl Squad: long sabers, sharp arrows, spears, great hammers, daggers, armor, and various other equipment. The most valuable was Night Owl's sword.
As for the E-rank spatial necklace, Chu Han kept it for himself.
He also didn't sell the few Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill books.
"Mr. Chu is truly generous."
Du Kun calmed his excited emotions and began to tally these Materials and equipment.
Rank 1 Arrow-tailed Lion carcass, 50,000 federal currency.
Rank 2 Arrow-tailed Lion carcass, 100,000 federal currency.
Rank 3 Black-Maned Lion carcass, 800,000 federal currency.
Rank 4 Black-Maned Lion King carcass, 6,000,000 federal currency.
Weapons and equipment combined, totaling 3,000,000 federal currency.
Among them, Night Owl's sword was a Thunder Attribute weapon, the most expensive, costing over 2 million federal currency.
But what surprised Chu Han a little was that the material price for the Rank 3 Black-Maned Lion carcass was only 800,000, far less than that Rank 2 Red-Scaled Python from last time.
The price of the Rank 4 Black-Maned Lion King was only 3 million more expensive than the Red-Scaled Python.
According to Du Kun, the Red-Scaled Python was massive and had more Materials on its body, so it was more expensive.
This Rank 4 Black-Maned Lion King only reached 6 million because it had grown scales.
