The pterosaur flew over a lake, slowed down, and then landed.

Looking down, Zhou Chen saw a huge dragon-headed fish carcass by the lake, surrounded by five card creatures of different shapes.

Several people were sitting or standing behind the card creature.

They immediately smiled when they saw the pterosaur.

"You've finally arrived."

"A lucky star has descended; I wonder if it will bless us."

"Jin Siyue! Come and greet your junior!"

"coming."

A short-haired young man scratched his scalp and greeted Zhou Chen as he lifted the Chow Chow off the pterosaur's back, saying, "Hello, junior Zhou Chen, I'm Jin Siye."

"Hello, Senior Jin..."

Zhou Chen looked at the tall young man in surprise. The other party was actually a member of the secret realm lord hunting team?

Yes.

Fat Dog mentioned it before.

Chapter 185: The Golden Legend

The hunted lord of the secret realm was named Savage Dragon Shark.

This is a ferocious beast that is over twenty meters long, as large as a blue whale, and has a huge dragon head.

"Junior, this lord is entrusted to you."

Jin Siye looked at Zhou Chen expectantly.

This was his first time teaming up with others to hunt monsters in the secret realm, and it took him a whole week. If possible, he hoped to successfully create the card.

This is undoubtedly a good omen.

People from the Secret Realm Academy place great importance on luck. They generally bathe and burn incense before each expedition. Some lord hunting teams even hold a departure ceremony to ensure that the subsequent actions and endings go smoothly.

Zhou Chen gave an OK sign.

"Let's begin."

The unicorn chow chow instructed from the side, "Take out the shark pearl and shark tendon, and that should be about it."

The shark pearl and shark tendon are the two most valuable materials on the Barbarian Dragon Shark. Taking only these two materials can ensure that the Barbarian Dragon Shark remains intact to the greatest extent possible.

Typically, the success rate of card production fluctuates depending on the material being removed.

Some card makers have found through extensive sample verification that intact corpses can provide about a 30% success rate in card production.

The average card production rate of monster corpses after important materials have been extracted is about 20%.

In other words, it can increase the overall card production probability by nearly 10%!

Don't underestimate this small percentage; the cumulative effect can be quite significant.

Upon hearing the words of the unicorn chow chow, Zhou Chen turned to ask Jin Siyue and the others around him, "Seniors... what materials does the senior need?"

The lord is someone else's prey; you can't just let him take whatever he wants.

"Just do what you think is best, we trust you."

The young man, who appeared to be the team leader, said, "You are the main character here now."

Zhou Chen looked at Ji Xue.

Ji Xue smiled and said, "Get ready. Ask me if you have any questions, and I'll teach you how to peel it."

"……Row."

Zhou Chen put on protective clothing, a mask, and gloves, picked up an electric pickaxe, and stabbed it into the lower abdomen of the giant shark, creating an opening.

Even though the lord of the secret realm is only at the Gold rank, his physical strength is far superior to that of ordinary monsters. As a novice card master, he had to use a lot of engineering equipment to successfully dissect him.

The whole process was extremely physically demanding, and even someone as top-tier as him, honed by dungeons, had to stop from time to time.

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Chen put down the peeler and took a towel from the Chow Chow to wipe his sweat.

The onlookers were all somewhat surprised. "Zhou Chen, you have good stamina. You dissected the secret realm lord so smoothly on your first try."

"really."

Where is the smoothness?

Zhou Chen secretly grumbled to himself, but it wasn't hard to tell from their words that messing with this thing was indeed very difficult.

Ji Xue praised, "Keep it up! You did a great job! You can be a little bolder with your cuts; the lord's body isn't so easily damaged."

"it is good."

Zhou Chen took a deep breath, pushed the internal organs aside, and buried his head in the fish's belly to search for the mermaid pearl. Fortunately, the thing could glow, so it wasn't hard to find.

Ji Xue followed him in and pointed out which areas of fascia were more resilient, reminding him to control his strength to avoid damaging the equipment.

After digging for more than twenty minutes, they finally managed to pull out the light blue oval pearl that had been stuck together by various mucous membranes.

This thing is about the size of a basketball and is estimated to weigh over 100 kilograms.

The hunting team members clapped in unison, "Not bad! Keep it up! You've got one more trick up your sleeve!"

"Shall we take a short break?"

"Indeed, the body of a secret realm lord will not decay for two or three years."

It's like coaxing a child.

Zhou Chen felt embarrassed and subconsciously looked at Jin Siye, who was holding the mermaid pearl and looking it over. Noticing his gaze, Jin Siye gave him a thumbs up and said, "Keep it up!"

The one-horned Chow Chow laughed, "Keep going, keep going!"

continue!

Zhou Chen took a deep breath and crawled into the blood-stained belly of the fish to find the tendon.

Ji Xue followed him into the fish's belly without any hesitation, and reached out to guide him to find the exact location of the shark's tendon. She explained that the Manlong Shark has three tendons, two located on the sides of its body and one inside.

Under her guidance, Zhou Chen quickly identified the target.

"Thank you, Teacher Ji."

"Take your time, don't rush."

After giving her warning, Ji Xue emerged from the fish's belly and looked at the waiting crowd beside her, "How was it?"

"Very good, it's a pity it's not from the Secret Realm Academy."

"Hey! We should have brought him in! He's a first-grader and he's already willing to do all this dirty and tiring work. He's got real talent. Even Jin Siye was all crying and fussing back then."

The members of the hunting team chuckled.

Jin Siye, who was mentioned, was embarrassed. "Don't tease me. Wasn't I just young and impetuous back then?"

The opportunity to extract materials from a Gold-tier Lord was certainly not unprecedented for Zhou Chen.

Any student who is valued by Ji Xue or Shang Zun will have the opportunity to experience the secret realm once.

Jin Siye initially had high hopes, thinking she could leave a good impression on the graduate students, but she didn't expect it to be so tiring. She almost cried from exhaustion halfway through.

He, a top genius from the prestigious Secret Realm Academy, is doing this kind of rough and tiring work...

Where did you achieve the purpose of exercise?

However, Jin Siye eventually finished the job. Coming from a commoner background, he had long understood that some things cannot be avoided simply because one is unwilling to do them.

If you're unwilling to go to places like the three major institutes, there are plenty of people who are!

Therefore, when he saw Zhou Chen, a talented, lucky, and well-connected junior, diligently doing such dirty and tiring work without ever complaining, he couldn't help but have a good initial impression.

A genius who is willing to work hard deserves to join my sect of myriad methods!

Two hours later.

Standing on the fish's back, Zhou Chen finally finished removing the three shark tendons, each as thick as a baby's forearm. This material is a special type of reinforced material with a wide range of uses, but its production is extremely limited.

This is a high-value material that must be retrieved regardless of whether the card production is successful or not.

For low-level monsters, spirit cards are often more valuable than materials, but for high-level monsters or secret realm lords, it's sometimes a different story.

Zhou Chen casually took a can of spinal fluid from the Manlong Shark, and with Ji Xue's help, cleaned his body before accepting the blank card from Jin Siye.

The meditating hunting team immediately turned their concerned gazes towards them.

Can it be successful?

Zhou Chen himself wasn't sure, because the last time he made the Lion King Ape, he failed and only got the reward in the end through settlement.

Since the battle couldn't be settled without his participation, the dragon shark's fate was sealed.

come on.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning.

If this is successful, I expect to be invited again next time.

Looking at the long term, he might be able to join the hunting team as a domain master in the future, without having to participate in the battle directly, but he can settle accounts with the corpses of the secret realm lords.

Wouldn't it be better to touch it and get a reward?

Zhou Chen has now begun to learn to take a long-term view.

The radiance flows and shifts.

Amidst the curious and expectant gazes of many, Zhou Chen slowly raised the shimmering gold card in his hand and smiled, "I have fulfilled my mission."

"good very good!"

"A great start! Hahaha!"

Everyone applauded, with Jin Siye's applause being the loudest.

This was Zhou Chen's first time helping someone make cards, and it was also Jin Siye's first time hunting a secret realm boss with someone.

Chapter 186: Dharma Name Hengzhen

One-star Gold-tier Spirit Card: Savage Dragon Shark.

The Shen Du Yuan roughly estimates the value of a single card at 18 million, with the top price for a super-star ordinary gold-tier card being 11 million.

However, its actual value is still much higher. Cards made by the Secret Realm Lord are extremely rare spirit cards, and no one would sell them for money, so it can only be roughly estimated at a mere 18 million.

An additional reward of 82 million credits, 2,000 academic credits, and 100 contribution points will be given as the main reward for the mission.

The five-person hunting team, after deducting the 20 million and 200 credits required for bidding, and the 10 million and 100 credits required to pay the array master, has 70 million, 1,700 credits and 100 contribution points remaining.

Zhou Chen received 10% of it, which was seven million, 170 academic credits, and ten contribution points.

Quite a lot!

It could even be described as a lot!

Don't be fooled by the 3,000 credits that the three colleges gave him as a welcoming gift. Keep in mind that Lu Qingning only gets 500 credits a year, and Mei Xian, who is ranked fiftieth overall, only gets 200 credits a year.

Of course, contribution points are more important than academic credits.

In a sense, the credits are a national subsidy distributed to gifted students at various universities, with 50% allocated by the Card Masters Association and the remaining 50% raised by the universities themselves.

It provides them with a platform to buy things that are unavailable elsewhere, while also intermittently granting them the wealth they need to make those purchases.

Once you truly enter the Myriad Laws Sect, contribution points become what high-level card masters genuinely pursue.

Don't underestimate the mere 100 contribution points for hunting down a Gold-tier Secret Realm Lord; it's enough to make many hunting teams fight tooth and nail for it.

Zhou Chen never expected that he would be allocated contribution points.

"It's too valuable..."

"Hey! We agreed on a 10% cut of the profits from a successful card production, so it's 10%!"

The squad leader said cheerfully, "Once you've grown up, we'll have plenty of opportunities to work together!"
