Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

Opening the blind core requires sensing with the source card. After dispelling or absorbing the source power in the source core, the crystals on its surface will break on their own.

After a while.

Cheng Zhuo gazed at the breathing meditation card glowing with blue light in his hand and sighed softly:

"That was definitely wishful thinking."

The breathing meditation card in my hand is a premium-grade card, named "Savage Blood".

Meditation techniques enhance strength.

However, Cheng Zhuo had already expected not to get an epic item, so he wasn't too disappointed.

After all, his opening of a legendary source card was just a smokescreen. For a blind core like Lord Porcupine, it was already very lucky to open a premium-grade card.

According to his understanding, even a Lord-level Porcupine Blind Core...

The probability of getting a high-quality source card is only around 2%.

Especially since this "Brutal Blood" meditation skill is a power enhancement skill, it is one of the most popular meditation skills among melee-type card users, which can definitely be considered extremely lucky.

Conservatively speaking, it could sell for at least 70,000 to 80,000 city-state coins.

For those who desperately need these premium cards, it's not impossible for the price to exceed 100,000.

Cheng Zhuo glanced back at Ruan Qinghe, who was still asleep beside him.

On the girl's pure and beautiful face, there remained traces of the messiness after a night of tenderness, giving her an inexplicable fragility that evoked pity in one's heart.

She's going to register at Nebula Kashu Academy tomorrow.

Cheng Zhuo estimated that after paying tuition, she would have very little money left.

But she showed no intention of asking her husband for money, which suggests she was genuinely planning to work part-time while studying, and might even be considering taking out a student loan first.

Those who can afford to attend Kashu Academy generally come from relatively well-off families.

He couldn't let Ruan Qinghe repeat the mistakes of three years ago and be looked down upon again at the new school.

I promised I wouldn't let her be bullied or wronged again.

We must never break our promise.

With that in mind, Cheng Zhuo immediately opened a trading platform called Dangdang, which was Star Iron City's official platform specifically for trading source cards.

Take a photo and fill in the card information.

The "Brutal Blood" type of power enhancement is very common, and its price is relatively transparent. Cheng Zhuo chose to sell it directly, setting the price at 100,000 city-state coins.

The whole process took two minutes.

He then consigned the "Savage Blood" item in his hand to the auction house.

After doing all that, he took out the epic-level blind core that the system had rewarded him with.

Compared to the porcupine ...

"Amitabha."

"God bless."

Cheng Zhuo held his breath and began to sense...

After a while.

As expected, the source card I got was epic.

Unfortunately, this is a weapon card, an epic longbow, usable by players up to Tier 4.

Cheng Zhuo subconsciously thought of Anuo.

Her heroic and dashing appearance, holding a longbow, remains unforgettable.

However, given their relationship, Cheng Zhuo wouldn't give her such a valuable weapon card.

In terms of market value, this card is definitely worth more than one million city-state coins.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Zhuo decided to exchange a breathing meditation card that was suitable for the "healing" type for Ruan Qinghe's fusion.

The same applies to taking photos and uploading information.

He chose this one through auction.

Epic-level items are relatively rare, so he has to be careful in his selection.

After doing all this, he gently lay down again, gazing at Ruan Qinghe beside him with doting eyes.

A ray of sunlight slipped in through the gap in the curtains, casting a pale silver hue on her jade-like cheeks. It was unclear whether she had slept well or had sensed Cheng Zhuo's movement.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.

"Well……"

Upon seeing Cheng Zhuo, she seemed to remember something, and a blush rose to her cheeks.

After a brief moment of shyness, she nestled her head into Cheng Zhuo's arms and mumbled "Husband" in a daze.

"Are you still sleeping?" Cheng Zhuo brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead and asked.

"Would you like to get up and eat something?"

"it is good."

Ruan Qinghe responded softly, clutching her chest, and lazily sat up.

Her small hands could hardly cover the snow-capped peaks, and her languid, alluring appearance made Cheng Zhuo sigh heavily.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Qinghe asked curiously.

Cheng Zhuo leaned closer and pinched her smooth, jade-like chin:

"Don't blame me, it's your own fault for being too tempting."

"Ah...it's dawn..."

……

An hour later.

Ruan Qinghe stared at a pretty face as ripe as a peach, quietly eating breakfast at the dining table.

Summer cicadas rarely remain quiet.

He simply held Xia Mo's hand, his eyes filled with barely suppressed laughter.

Seeing Ruan Qinghe lower her head further and further, her face almost buried in the bowl, Cheng Zhuo said helplessly:

"Xia Mo, don't let Xiao Chanchan hold onto it, let her be blind."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chan pouted and feigned grievance, saying:

"Hmph, Brother Zhuo is so biased. He only knows how to dote on his first wife and bully his second wife. She didn't do anything. He won't let her speak, and he won't even let her look at him."

"Stop joking around, eat quickly, it's getting cold," Cheng Zhuo urged with a smile.

Xia Chan raised her eyebrows and said, "Let it cool down and then heat it up again. Anyway, it's already been heated up several times already, hehe."

Seeing her teasing so brazenly, Ruan Qinghe finally raised her flushed face and said angrily:

"Little Chanchan, are you laughing like that because you're planning to have me record a little movie for you tonight?"

He had intended to use this to threaten her, but unexpectedly, Xia Chan smiled and said playfully:

"Okay, okay!"

Ruan Qinghe: "..."

……

Cheng Zhuo did not tell Ruan Qinghe about his plan to become a wilderness hunter.

Given Ruan Qinghe's personality, he couldn't help but worry.

After having an ambiguous breakfast, Cheng Zhuo left the bridal chamber alone under the pretext of preparing equipment.

He planned to go to the largest market in the East District, the Pakka Street.

That area is a hub for buying and selling source cores and cards, as well as for acquiring intelligence and engaging in trade.

The official card trading center is also located there.

Both source cards consigned in the morning have found buyers, and Cheng Zhuo needs to go to the site in person to verify them.

In addition, he also planned to find some shops run by wilderness hunters to get a real understanding of the contract information for the town's lighthouse.

After all, it's difficult to distinguish between true and false information on the internet.

About half an hour later.

Cheng Zhuo took the subway, traversing most of the eastern district, and arrived at Baoka Street Station.

Following the flow of people out of the platform, a straight avenue paved with light gray tiles comes into view, at the end of which stands a pure white building, which stands out conspicuously among the rows of gray cement buildings in the outer city.

That's the card trading center in the outer city.

The glass cases of the shops along the road displayed faintly glowing source cards, and signs for "card repair," "source core acquisition," and "card customization" were everywhere.

Cheng Zhuo walked and looked around without stopping, and arrived at the trading center.

The hall, spanning over a thousand square meters, was already packed with people.

On the most prominent wall in the lobby hangs a huge LCD screen.

There is a large amount of transaction and acquisition information on it:

"Buying a high-quality fire-type breathing card for 100,000 city-state coins. Transfer immediately after card verification!"

"Unlimited purchase of Three-Eyed Jackal Cores, price negotiable."

"Custom Ice Attribute Sniper Weapon Card - Premium/Good quality available, budget negotiable, requires review of designer's past work"

"..."

When Cheng Zhuo consigned the item, he chose anonymity and smart escrow.

Although the commission will be higher, it saves the trouble of dealing with buyers.

Therefore, after entering the trading center, guided by the AI, he went directly into a closed verification room.
