Chapter 47: Beast Core

Suddenly.

Where the Rat King's corpse had just exploded.

A black object fell from the sky.

Qin Bei extended his hand.

Steadily catching the falling object.

A white, transparent crystal.

【Detected an item containing high-energy material. Do you wish to absorb it?】

The system's voice sounded.

A hint of confusion appeared in Qin Bei's eyes.

This thing actually has energy?

The system can absorb it?

If he remembered correctly before.

The chance to match a Knight Contract seemed to require energy as exchange.

"Can this thing be exchanged for a chance to match a Knight?"

Qin Bei asked curiously in his mind.

【Collecting 100 energy can be exchanged once; the current material can exchange for 1 energy.】

Qin Bei raised the crystal in his hand.

So, having 100 of these crystal stones would grant one exchange opportunity?

That's a bit difficult.

By the way, what exactly is this thing?

Qin Bei thought for a moment and walked toward Du Qianxue's location.

"Do you know what this stone is?"

Qin Bei extended his palm.

The crystal left behind by the Rat King's explosion lay in his hand.

Under the moonlight.

White light shimmered within it.

Du Qianxue's eyes looked strange.

Is this senior joking with him?

Doesn't she even know what a beast core is?

Although she was confused why this armored person in front of her was so ignorant.

But his strength was greater than hers, and he had also saved her life.

As long as it wasn't a question regarding secrets, she could answer for him.

"This is a beast core. Whether a martial artist, a beast tamer, or an extraordinary being, anyone can absorb the spiritual power within it."

"It has already absorbed from the air; scattered spiritual power is even faster."

"Senior, the one in your hand is a beast core from a beast approaching level 5 from level 4. The market price is around 1.5 million."

Du Qianxue answered honestly.

"I see."

Qin Bei touched his chin, lost in thought.

If that's the case.

Humans and fierce beasts seem like destined enemies.

Humans absorb the cores of fierce beasts to increase their strength.

And fierce beasts eat human flesh and blood to increase their strength.

No wonder they are mortal enemies.

"By the way, there shouldn't be any other fierce beasts in the settlement now, right?"

Qin Bei asked hurriedly.

He didn't want to be sleeping soundly in the middle of the night when a fierce beast suddenly jumped out and crawled to his bedside.

"I don't know. We can only do our utmost to protect this city and eliminate all abnormal creatures that sneak in."

Du Qianxue's eyes were complex; this was the fate of their Night Patrol Bureau.

Their duty was to ensure everyone could rest safely during the night.

"I understand, but right now you should hurry back, or I'm afraid you'll bleed to death."

Qin Bei glanced at Du Qianxue.

She had already become a person covered in blood.

Bright red blood stained her face.

If she didn't speak, who knows if her gender could even be identified.

"Thank you for your concern, senior,"

"Um... may I ask your name?"

Du Qianxue asked cautiously.

"Um... just call me Northwest Hammer King."

Qin Bei looked at the De Jia Heavy Hammer in his hand and became increasingly satisfied with the nickname he had just given.

"Alright... Senior Hammer King!"

Du Qianxue's face twisted.

Why would such a handsome senior

not only refuse to give his name,

but also have such a tacky nickname?

"Go back early to treat yourself; I won't see you off."

Qin Bei's expression remained normal.

He then turned his head to look at where his little yellow bike was.

He paused slightly in surprise.

The expression beneath his mask was slightly pained.

His little yellow bike, in the Yu Bo of the battle just fought,

was gone.

In that case, he would have to run outside the gathering place.

Heartache.
