Who says I can't become a Grand Master?

Chapter 70 My brother has become a scumbag.

"I'm telling the truth," Xia Qiwei replied.

The two women glanced at each other and exchanged a quick look.

"OK! I'll write 'normal' in the record then," Luo Jingjing said.

"Yes! That's normal," Xia Qiwei replied.

Zhang Qingzhe shook his head helplessly.

It seems these two women had been tacitly in sync for a long time.

Then, Luo Jingjing looked at Zhang Qingzhe, like an older sister, and said with some concern:

"Junior, you need to learn to be careful when working with Professor Xia."

"Oh! Thank you, senior, I know."

As Zhang Qingzhe answered, he took out a monster crystal core.

After carefully counting, Luo Jingjing put the items into a sealed box:

"The 'Witch Tax' only costs ten coins. Should we exchange the extra five for cash?"

Xia Qiwei looked at Zhang Qingzhe, indicating that he should make the decision.

"How much is one?" Zhang Qingzhe asked curiously.

"At market price, it's 1,000 yuan a piece."

Zhang Qingzhe blinked in surprise.

It turns out that a single monster crystal core can be exchanged for a high-end blind box.

It seems that making a living by collecting crystal cores is a good way to earn money.

However, considering the dangers involved, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Although the [Dragon Disaster Zone] is divided into danger levels, [high-level magical beasts] can still wander into the [low danger zone].

For example: the "Steel-boned Bull" I encountered today—

If it weren't for the "Great Witch" by his side, he probably would have been smashed into a pulp long ago.

-----------------

Although Xia Qiwei was very tired today, she was in an exceptionally happy mood.

Seeing that it was getting late, she took Zhang Qingzhe home directly.

A neighborhood "intelligence bureau" composed of several middle-aged women is holding a high-level joint meeting.

The important topic of today's meeting is—although the Zhang siblings are good-looking, they don't seem to have many friends!

They can't compare to the children of opinion leaders, who often manage to gather a group of cronies.

At that moment, the brightly colored Porsche stopped, the scissor doors slowly opened, and Zhang Qingzhe got out of the car.

"Today was so great!" Xia Qiwei stroked her long hair, which fluttered gently in the wind.

"It's just too dangerous."

Zhang Qingzhe felt a little apprehensive when he first entered the [Dragon Disaster Zone].

"Hehe! You'll like this feeling later."

Xia Qiwei waved and left, satisfied.

As he passed by the group of middle-aged women, Zhang Qingzhe nodded in greeting.

The women's expressions were complex; though they still protested verbally, they had to admit in their hearts:

Being handsome really does have its advantages; he actually managed to hook up with a rich woman.

Zhang Qingzhe heard it from afar, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Anyway, all middle-aged women in any world are pretty much the same.

When I got home—

Zhang Qingzhe saw that his younger sister had returned early and was lying on the sofa quietly playing on her phone.

"Didn't you buy any blind boxes today?" Zhang Qingzhe asked casually.

"We're barely able to afford food, how could I possibly dare to buy blind boxes?"

The younger sister pouted and said sullenly.

"Don't worry, your brother won't let you go hungry."

"Brother, you seem to be in a good mood?"

My sister sat up.

Only then did she look up at her brother, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.

"Brother, what happened to you? Your clothes are all dirty."

A lot happened today.

Zhang Qingzhe touched his card pack and pulled out the "Steel Bone Bull" card.

My younger sister glanced at it and exclaimed, "Huh! Why were we demoted...?"

My sister complained at first, but the moment she saw the name on the card, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Steel-boned Oxen?! Isn't that a specialty of the high-risk Dragon Plague Zone?"

"Yeah, this thing is really hard to catch," Zhang Qingzhe said smugly.

The younger sister suddenly jumped up and angrily grabbed her brother's hand:

"Didn't I tell you not to go to the [Dragon Plague Zone]!"

"Don't worry, Professor Xia is with us."

"Then I'm even more worried! Didn't I tell you not to get too close to the [Great Witch]?"

"But I think Professor Xia is a really nice person; she helped me catch this [Steelbow Bull]."

The younger sister stared at her brother's face and suddenly had a premonition that there was no going back.

A trace of sorrow and desolation flashed across her pretty little face.

It was as if she could only watch helplessly as her brother was about to be kidnapped by a bad woman.

Zhang Qingzhe didn't think anything of it and comfortingly ruffled his sister's hair:

"My brother isn't a child; he knows what he's doing."

The younger sister, however, looked distrustful.

"Brother, you don't even have common sense, what kind of sense do you have..."

"Well... okay, okay, we'll talk about that later. I forgot to buy groceries today, let's eat out."

"Brother, are you not going to make a living? Where are we going to get any money?"

"I've borrowed money from your brother, so we can eat meat as usual from now on."

"They'll have to pay it back sooner or later!"

"They don't charge interest, nor do they care about the repayment date."

"What kind of good thing is this? Could it be that the 'Great Witch' lent it to you again?"

"No, I borrowed it from a female classmate."

The younger sister frowned again. "A new girlfriend?"

"No, just friends."

"How much did you borrow?"

Two hundred thousand.

"Two hundred thousand?!" The younger sister's pupils shrank in surprise.

I thought to myself: Brother, you're really slow on the uptake... Can a girl who can lend you 200,000 yuan be just an ordinary friend?

"Let's go! I saw a restaurant offering couples' discounts on my way home, let's go grab those deals!"

Zhang Qingzhe casually took off his dirty clothes, revealing his clearly defined eight-pack abs.

The younger sister sighed inwardly. She had originally wanted to have her brother all to herself, but she never expected that her brother, this "succubus," had unknowingly turned into a "scumbag."

Zhang Qingzhe fed his younger sister and then patiently soothed her.

He didn't get back to work until he put his sister to bed.

In addition to continuing to practice making cards to earn money for living and studying.

He also consulted some materials on the Necromancer School, which deepened his understanding of Summoning cards.

He picked up the [Steel Bone Bull Card], examined it carefully for a while, and felt a little itchy, wanting to try injecting magic essence into it.

But in the end, he held back.

If it gets out of control, this steel-boned bull might go berserk and raze the entire neighborhood to the ground.

In that case, he would probably be burdened with hundreds of millions of yuan in debt and would have no choice but to sell himself to Gu Xintong and become her slave.

Just then, Zhang Qingzhe suddenly felt the World Card in his Card Pack pulsating slightly.

He slowly drew the World Card, vaguely sensing a kind of attraction between the two cards.

After hesitating for a moment, he gently affixed the [Steel Bone Bull Card] to the [World Card].

But to Zhang Qingzhe's surprise, the [Steel Bone Bull Card] was not absorbed.

Instead, it pulled out a few faintly visible strands of [magic essence].

"What is this?" Zhang Qingzhe asked in confusion.
