Chapter 87: Man, I've Got My Eye on You!
In front of the United Army Department.
Gu Xing was still a bit dazed at this moment.
Qin Chuxue's advice kept echoing in his mind.
"The Extraordinary Level is the foundation for breaking through to Commander Level. The stronger the foundation, the further you can go!"
"Before breaking through to Commander Level, you must push all your attributes to the limit!"
"Only then will the Domain you awaken upon reaching Commander Level be even stronger!"
Qin Chuxue also told him,
If you break through to Commander Level with all attributes above 1000, you're an ordinary Commander-level Beast Master.
If you break through to Commander Level with all attributes above 1500, you're an elite Commander-level Beast Master.
If you break through to Commander Level with all attributes above 2000, you're a top Commander-level Beast Master.
As for herself, she had even reached the very limit of the Human Race…
All attributes at 2500 points!
She had once tried to break past that limit, but when she failed, she reluctantly broke through to Commander Level.
Gu Xing rubbed his temples.
He wasn't worried about reaching 2500 attribute points himself.
But rather…
Those two bandit-like Talents!
Every time he absorbed Star Stone energy, they would loot most of it.
To get his attributes up to 2500, how many Star Stones would he have to burn?
Still, there was some good news!
Because he leapfrogged in rank at Extraordinary Level and killed a Commander-level demon in the Demon Realm, Qin Chuxue had personally granted him a special Secret Realm entry.
This special Secret Realm can only be entered once per person!
If you clear this Secret Realm, you can massively boost your attributes.
This is also the most crucial step in pushing Extraordinary Level attributes to their absolute limit.
If you can't clear this Secret Realm…
Most people could never max out their attributes in their entire lives!
In addition, Qin Chuxue also rewarded him with a million points.
Originally, other members of the United Military Department had some complaints about Qin Chuxue favoring him like this.
But under the pressure of her Monarch-level aura, they all obediently shut up.
Thinking of this, Gu Xing silently put away the Secret Realm Pass into his Beast Taming Space, making a note of Qin Chuxue's kindness in his heart.
The Secret Realm would open in two days. For now, he needed to head to the redemption center and exchange star stones to boost his attributes first!
Thinking of this, he immediately brought his two guardian beasts and rushed toward the City of Chaos Redemption Center.
He didn't notice that on the street corner, a pink-clad figure was pacing back and forth, restless.
Fei Yue hugged her arms, biting her cherry lips:
"Should I just say my big sister wants to make a contract with you?"
No way, no way!
Fei Yue immediately shook that idea out of her head.
Way too blunt!
That would make it look like her sister was practically throwing herself at this human for a contract.
Seeing Gu Xing walk into the redemption hall…
"No way!"
Fei Yue stamped her foot, steeling her gaze.
Whatever!
I'll just go straight for it.
No more hesitation!
Steeling herself, she strode into the redemption hall.
Inside the redemption hall.
This time, the staff member who greeted Gu Xing happened to be the same one from last time.
When the staff member looked up and saw who it was, he completely froze.
His eyes went wide, and his pen dropped to the desk with a "clatter."
He remembered this Extraordinary Tier One Beast Master very well.
Last time during registration, he'd even felt regret for this young life.
But he never expected…
He'd actually come back alive.
"You… you… you actually…."
Gu Xing saw his reaction and naturally understood what he was thinking.
Still, he wouldn't trouble a staff member over this.
"Hello, I'd like to exchange for some Star Stones!"
He took out his Token from his Beast Taming Space and gently placed it on the counter.
The staff accepted the Token mechanically. When his eyes landed on the numbers, it was as if he'd been struck by lightning.
"Th… three million five hundred thousand?!"
He rubbed his eyes hard, then blinked repeatedly, worrying that he'd read it wrong.
Five zeros.
With trembling fingers, he counted each zero, one by one.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
After confirming several times, his Adam's apple rolled with difficulty as he looked at Gu Xing in disbelief.
"Sir, are you… are you sure you want to exchange all your points for Star Stones?"
Gu Xing nodded calmly: "All of them."
Three million five hundred thousand points!
One million of that was Qin Chuxue's reward, while the remaining 2.5 million…
That was the result of his record against the extraordinary-level demon race in the Demon Realm!
The crowd around noticed what was happening and then exploded…
"How much? Three and a half million?! Did I hear that right?!"
"One person? Extraordinary Level? How is that possible?!"
"Wait… I think I've seen him before! Isn't he that Extraordinary Tier One Beast Master from before?!"
"He came back alive from the Demon Realm and brought back three and a half million points?! The world's gone mad!"
Facing all the chatter, Gu Xing remained calm.
Soon, the staff member, hands trembling, handed over a delicate jade box, neatly packed with 35 high-level Star Stones.
Star Stones come in three levels: Low-level (10 points), Intermediate (1,000 points), High-level (100,000 points).
1 Intermediate = 100 low-level Star Stones' worth of energy.
1 High-level = 100 Intermediate Star Stones' energy!
Now, he had 35 high-level Star Stones in his possession!
He didn't believe it…
Those two bandit Talents can't possibly eat up all that energy!
After finishing his exchange, Gu Xing was just about to turn and leave.
But then…
Suddenly, a pink figure blocked his way.
When he saw the figure clearly, Gu Xing was a little confused.
This was a girl, around sixteen or seventeen years old.
Most striking was the single horn on her forehead.
He didn't think he knew this guardian beast!
On instinct, he checked her information.
[Ghost Race (Fei Yue)]
[Level: Extraordinary Tier Ninth]
[Status: Innate Defect]
[Talent: Myth One Star]
[Power: 100]
[Constitution: 100]
[Spirit: 100]
[Speed: 100]
[Skills: Void]
Seeing these stats, even Gu Xing couldn't help letting his jaw drop.
Not because this beast's attributes were strong, but because…
She was too weird!
A Myth-level Talent beast, but all her attributes were only 100?
And under Skills, she had just the single "Void" skill!
With stats like that, she wasn't even as good as an ordinary Excellent-ranked beast!
"Could it be, like Liu Li back then, it's because of the Innate Defect?"
Gu Xing instinctively thought of his first guardian beast.
But after a closer look, he realized—no!
According to the system, even if she was cured of the defect, apparently…
Her attribute values wouldn't increase.
Her attributes were stuck at 100—across the board!
As Gu Xing drifted into thought, Fei Yue stood there, frozen.
Though she acted confident and open, any time she interacted with someone these years, Qing Shuang had been present.
But this time…
Her big sister wasn't here!
With so many people watching, she grew more flustered.
In a panic, she stomped her foot and blurted out:
"M-man… Sis has her eye on you!"
The moment she said it, every eye in the room snapped toward her.
But even scarier…
Two dagger-like gazes locked onto Fei Yue at the same time!
This beast wanted to snatch their master?!
And right in front of them?!
Courageous, aren't we…
