Zhang Che finally walked out of the beast world together with Chen Lishan and the others.

The moment he stepped out of the spatial gateway, Zhang Che felt a surge of relief in his heart. -I’m finally out!-

Although he was over a hundred thousand kilometers away from Hua Xia, when all was said and done, he was finally back to Mercury, wasn’t he?

Just as he was about to open up his personal terminal to contact Sun Lan, it turned out that the Caucasian chicks were even more anxious than he was.

Monica pulled at his arm, saying excitedly, “Sun, hurry up and open up your personal terminal; I’ll transfer the funds to you immediately!”

Mmm, Monica was obviously not the persistent type. After Zhang Che turned her down tactfully, she no longer had any thoughts of getting together with him. Now, she only wanted to quickly pay Zhang Che his commission, and the beast cards she fancied would finally belong to her officially.

With the help of Chen Lishan translating for him in real time, Zhang Che smiled and didn’t reject her. He directly opened up his personal terminal…

However, what surprised Zhang Che was that his personal terminal was unresponsive. -What the heck! Why can’t I boot it up?-

He instantly thought of the time when he was in the endless tunnel. Could it be that his personal terminal got damaged in there?

Zhang Che’s complexion immediately grew ugly.

“Oh? What’s wrong, Sun?” Monica hurriedly asked seeing the strange look on Zhang Che’s face.

The other three women looked over at the same time.

Zhang Che shook his head dejectedly, “Damn it, my personal terminal seems to be broken.”

The women were surprised; even a personal terminal could break? This was the Alliance’s state-of-the-art technology. It would only break if subjected to devastating force.

Although… the personal terminal was usually carried on the user all the time. Why was the person still fine if even their personal terminal broke down?

Towards Chen Lishan and the others’ suspicious gazes, Zhang Che naturally couldn’t say that he went through an unimaginably strange experience, and that his personal terminal probably broke down then?

He could only shrug helplessly, “That, I’m not sure either. It probably broke by accident when I encountered the terrifying exotic beast and ran for my life?”

Chen Lishan and the others were completely stunned. -You broke it accidentally? You must be using imitation goods!-

“Alright, it’s fine. Don’t worry, we’ll pay you for sure,” Monica shrugged innocently.

Zhang Che almost wept in his heart. -Money is not the problem here…-

With his personal terminal damaged, he had no way to contact his mother, Huang Tielan, and the others. He had to keep them worrying then… really…

“Hey, brother, don’t worry. We’re trustworthy people. We won’t run from payment just because your personal terminal is broken.”

Seeing Zhang Che looking like he just lost his mother, Jenny walked up and slapped down hard on his shoulder. However, Zhang Che didn’t flinch at all.

“Do you see this beautiful lady here?” Jenny rubbed her palm, then pointed at Angelina. She continued, “Such trivial matters are no problem to her at all. She’ll fix it for you for sure. It’s no problem even if it can’t be fixed; she’ll help you apply for another one.”

-Really!?- Zhang Che looked at Angelina with a curious gaze. This black-haired Caucasian lady immediately nodded politely.

-There’s no problem then!- Zhang Che couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

“Hey, brother, come to my house for a party, how about it? To celebrate us returning alive!” Monica invited. Gods knew whether she was having thoughts on Zhang Che again, or if it was purely in celebration of their escape from death.

“No, it’s better to come my place. I can also help Sun with his personal terminal there,” the quiet Angelina suddenly spoke up.

“Oh ho ho, this is the first time Angelina has invited a guy to her place! Sun, you can’t say no to this! Perhaps you might even get to spend a lovely night with our beautiful Miss Angelina!” Jenny immediately winked at Zhang Che.

Zhang Che immediately felt a mountain of pressure pressing down on him. -Foreign girls are really open! (Although this world had set up the so-called Mercury Alliance, from Zhang Che’s view, basically each region were doing their own things.) I’m just a pure-hearted virgin boy; it’s really becoming a little too much for me!-

The few of them immediately came to a decision: they’d have a party at Angelina’s place tonight.

After that, Jenny and the others brought Zhang Che to the carpark at the side of the military camp, and started up a rather fierce-looking car.

“Si…” Zhang Che couldn’t help but felt speechless. One look and he could tell that it was not ordinary stuff. It must not be cheap.

“Hey, we’re going, Sun. Get in!” Monica patted Zhang Che. She directly pushed him into the opened car door, leaving him unable to help but suspect that these three Caucasian women might be kidnapping him and going to do whatever they wished to him.

Although, that shouldn’t be the case, right?

At the very least, Miss Chen Lishan was likely, probably, perhaps, maybe, not someone like that…

————-

The car sped off, and soon left the spatial gateway behind. They travelled close to fifty kilometers through the countryside before finally reaching San Diego’s city area.

During their drive, they came across a few low-tier exotic beast, who came to harass them. Just as Zhang Che was about to Summon his subdued beasts to take care of them, he was stopped by Jenny and the others.

“Hey, it’s fine, Sun. You don’t have to worry about this trash.”

In the end, the car just drove right through. Although the exotic beasts weren’t powerful, they were enough to cause a car accident, but they were sent flying just like that, while Angelina’s car was undamaged.

Zhang Che’s horizons were widened, thinking that this could be a new-generation car that incorporated the use of rare minerals found in beast world. Perhaps the material of the car body had added in rare metals, like the purple-gold crystal.

—

After they entered San Diego, the car continued driving through the streets for another half an hour and arrived at the underground carpark of a large building.

Zhang Che found it strange. -Could Angelina’s home be here?-

“Let’s go settle the matter about your personal terminal first, then we’ll go to the party at my place,” Angelina turned to look at Zhang Che and said. Afterwards, she opened the driver’s door and walked out.

After entering the building, Zhang Che realized that this was actually San Diego’s city administration building. There were many units here, of which included the department that handled problems on personal terminals.

A staffer checked through Zhang Che’s personal terminal very closely and shrugged at him apologetically, “I’m very sorry, your personal terminal suffered an unknown malfunction and it’s not possible to fix it. You have to reapply for one.” Afterwards, the staffer looked towards Angelina at the side.

“Then we’ll just apply for another one,” Angelina nodded calmly.

“Alright, mister, please register your personal information.”

The staffer quickly registered Zhang Che’s personal information. Afterwards, a brand new personal terminal was handed to him just like that, without even verifying the authenticity of his personal details.

-Looks like Angelina’s family is really influential!- Zhang Che lamented inwardly. Afterwards, he nearly cried out.

Although he already got a new personal terminal, he still had no way to contact his family. It wasn’t like his previous world, the Earth, where you could remember your home phone number or whatever. All the information to contact others was transmitted through scanning.

-It doesn’t matter now. With a new identity, I can take the sky shuttle directly back to Hua Xia. I’ll just let mom and the others wait another day or two.-

Thinking about it in another perspective, this was as good as him having a new legal identity. If he needed to do something inconvenient in the future, it couldn’t get any more convenient for him!

Thinking of this, Zhang Che’s lips curled up into a faint smile…
