Chapter 663: Chapter 496: Becoming Thrifty_2

Zheng Yichen shook his head, "Just like that, huh? It’s better to settle your affairs sooner."

As he spoke, he took an extra look at Klakauska. He hadn’t mentioned to anyone his heightened perception of abnormal mental states, but he could sense that the fire dragon’s mental state was gradually tilting toward ’abnormal’, making him restless and uneasy.

Zheng Yichen guessed that if this revenge attempt were to fail, Klakauska might completely go off the deep end.

The fire dragon now knew the Dragon Devour Secret Technique.

In subsequent actions, the fire dragon spoke much less and efficiency was greatly improved. By nightfall, they had returned to Landen City.

Katrina, dressed in the attire of this world, gave Zheng Yichen a big hug. She grasped his right hand, and upon seeing his arm was almost fully healed, she breathed a sigh of relief, "You’re completely recovered now, right?"

"There’s a tiny, tiny flaw, but it doesn’t affect my performance anymore," Zheng Yichen said as he took out a large chest, "These are some recent spoils, help yourselves."

Ahn Ke took off her gloves and approached, first asking, "Can I touch it directly with my hands?"

"Hmm, better not touch the black, red, and blue ones directly," Zheng Yichen glanced at the items in the chest, identifying them as magic cores of varying attributes: black for darkness, red for fire, blue for ice. All were from high-level magical beasts, and those without sufficient strength could be injured by direct contact.

Ahn Ke nodded, fetched a pair of protective gloves, picked up a magic core, and examined it before placing it aside to inspect another, "Are these things from inside a living body?"

Although magic cores were smooth, their surfaces bore some residue, akin to capillary traces. Ahn Ke was all too familiar with such matters.

"They’re magic cores from inside magical beasts. Are you interested in them?"

"Of course, I’m always interested in things that come from inside a living creature."

Ahn Ke then picked up a test tube and inspected the blood sealed within. She nodded after gently shaking it, "I’m going to be quite busy for the next while."

In Zheng Yichen’s absence, she had been quite idle. The money was sufficient, but it didn’t stretch to cover the things she wanted. At most, she could only experiment with low-level magical beast materials. Meanwhile, Katrina and Eileena were exceedingly busy.

They only rested late into the night. The Magic Fundamentals Supplementary Class may have been cramming-style teaching, but the content was comprehensive and immensely helpful for them. Ahn Ke was contemplating giving it a try until Zheng Yichen returned with something even better, immediately extinguishing that thought.

"I’ve heard there’s a famous ’mercenary’ ’Dragon Slayer’ lately. Is that you?"

"That’s me," Zheng Yichen pulled out the Dragon Tribe Chamber of Commerce’s gold card, "I’ll go register a subcard later at the Dragon Tribe Chamber of Commerce. You can just use this thing for purchases; I don’t even know how to spend all the money inside..."

In the world of magic, as long as you have the strength, it’s easy to make money quickly, but Zheng Yichen won’t stay here for long. His current trip was made possible by hitching a free ride with Klakauska, an entitlement from Klakauska’s homecoming benefits as a Dusk mercenary. Zheng Yichen wouldn’t enjoy such privileges when he returned.

So this money...

"You find spending money difficult?" Ahn Ke looked at Zheng Yichen somewhat puzzled, "I personally think if you have a lot of money, you should make good use of it. This is an advanced world and shouldn’t be underestimated."

If the Ahn family’s ’Ascension Plan’ encounters difficulties down the road, such a world would be an ideal choice for them, with the presence of gods who, despite their whimsical behavior, face no substantial restrictions in their movements.

There were many demigod powerful experts, and extraordinary forces infiltrated everyday professions, allowing the powerful to live easily for a long time... Ahn Ke believed such a world to be one of the potential candidates for the Ascension Plan.

However, the Ahn family wanted to immediately enter the top-level family strata upon arrival, something their current resources were insufficient for. Yet, it wouldn’t be difficult to acquire more from this world. The Ahn family also had other Dusk mercenaries, and Klakauska had an agreement with the hunters group.

They would later serve as beacons to facilitate the Ahn family’s Dusk mercenaries’ positioning. However, this direct form of interaction wouldn’t allow them to learn from Zheng Yichen, as it wasn’t easy for regular Dusk mercenaries to earn merit points.

"Actually, I have a new idea that, if successful, might be a great help to you."

Zheng Yichen became interested, "Let’s hear it."

The tables had turned from the days when the Ahn family invested in him. Now, with his increased strength, it was the Ahn family that needed his investment. But judging from the returns on his previous investments, they were well worth it. While most of the Ahn family’s research outputs were of no use to him, whatever was useful played a significant role.

Take for instance, the Essence of Life on his person!

Obtaining the Essence of Life had directly increased Zheng Yichen’s stamina and health bar by more than tenfold. With continued advancement and accumulation, this boost would become even more exaggerated.

Just this aspect alone was worth the prior investment, making him the one who profited in the end.

"It’s related to Life Preservation Technology. For the average person, it’s like having an extra Life disk, which allows them to be revived from death as a life seed by an ally, as long as the Life disk is preserved."
