With a thought, Gu He summoned a purple-gold card adorned with seven intricate patterns, identical to the one held by the Little Fairy Doctor.
At first glance, the two cards appeared indistinguishable. However, as Gu He focused his consciousness on the card, detailed information about it surfaced in his mind.
[Unlimited Gold Card]
[Maximum Capacity: 2000 million gold coins]
[Balance: 220 billion]
[Ability: Automatically replenishes gold coins]
Holding the seven-patterned purple-gold card, Gu He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He now understood the purpose of this card, and what excited him most was the staggering sum of 220 billion gold coins it contained.
220 billion!
Gu He was utterly astounded. With this card, he had achieved complete financial freedom.
Whether engaging in commerce across the land or participating in auctions, he could spend lavishly without hesitation, purchasing whatever he desired. This was the privilege of the wealthy.
What surprised and relieved him even more was the card's unique feature.
While it appeared to hold only 2000 million gold coins upon inspection, once that amount was spent, the card would automatically replenish itself.
This function would persist until all 220 billion gold coins were spent.
Gu He couldn't help but marvel at the system's thoughtfulness.
This ability spared him from countless potential troubles. After all, if anyone were to discover a purple-gold card holding 220 billion gold coins, they would undoubtedly find it unbelievable, perhaps even suspecting it to be counterfeit.
The unlimited gold coin feature elegantly resolved this issue, making it incredibly convenient.
"Teacher, are you alright?"
The Little Fairy Doctor's voice pulled Gu He from his reverie. She had noticed him standing there, holding the purple-gold card with a dazed expression, and called out cautiously.
Hearing her voice, Gu He quickly regained his composure. Reflecting on his earlier behavior, he felt a twinge of embarrassment. However, with his strong mental fortitude, he maintained a calm exterior. After all, as long as he didn't feel embarrassed, it was others who would feel awkward.
Adhering to this principle, Gu He stored the card in his spatial ring, cleared his throat lightly, and turned to the Little Fairy Doctor. "Now, I will bestow upon you the second reward," he announced.
With a wave of his hand, a blue magical beast egg materialized in his palm.
"Is this... a magical beast egg?" the Little Fairy Doctor gasped, her eyes widening in astonishment.
Gu He nodded with a smile. "Indeed, this is a Rank 5 magical beast egg, and it is the second reward I am giving you."
"A Rank 5 magical beast egg!" The Little Fairy Doctor's face lit up with joy. The value of such an egg was no less than the purple-gold card he had just given her.
Since childhood, she had always dreamed of having a magical beast companion.
Back in Qingshan Town, she had befriended a blue eagle that would occasionally take her soaring through the skies. However, she knew the eagle was not truly her pet—it had its own life and could not always be by her side. Their bond was more akin to friendship.
Now, with the prospect of having a Rank 5 magical beast as her pet, the Little Fairy Doctor was overjoyed.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she asked, "Teacher, what kind of magical beast is this Rank 5 egg?"
Gu He smiled gently. "This is the egg of a Rank 5 Iron-Winged Giant Eagle."
"An Iron-Winged Giant Eagle? A flying beast!" The Little Fairy Doctor's excitement was palpable, and she nearly danced with delight.
She had always dreamed of having a flying Magical beast as a pet, one that could carry her through the skies without restraint.
"Do you like it?" Gu He asked, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"I love it, Teacher! I truly do!" she replied without hesitation, nodding vigorously.
In her heart, she was already imagining returning to Qingshan Town to introduce her new pet to Xiao Lan, the blue eagle. This new companion would be a true partner, always by her side.
Just as the Little Fairy Doctor was lost in her excitement, a system notification echoed in Gu He's mind.
[Ding! Detected that the host has granted the second disciple, Little Fairy Doctor, a Rank 5 Iron-Winged Giant Eagle magical beast egg.]
[Congratulations to the host for triggering a four-thousand eight hundred fold return!]
[You have obtained an Rank 8 Golden Feather Giant Eagle magical beast egg!]
[The Rank 8 Golden Feather Giant Eagle magical beast egg has been stored into the system space. Please check it at your convenience.]
Gu He's heart raced. A four-thousand eight hundred! An Rank 8 Golden Feather Giant Eagle egg in exchange for a Rank 5 one! He could hardly contain his joy.
While the Little Fairy Doctor cradled the Iron-Winged Giant Eagle egg, still immersed in her excitement, Gu He focused his mind and entered the system space.
There, suspended in the void, was a massive golden egg, its surface adorned with intricate, glowing runes. The egg radiated a dazzling golden light, exuding an aura of immense power.
'Is this the egg of an Rank 8 Magical beast? It's truly extraordinary!' Gu He thought, awestruck.
[Ding! Would the host like to sign a master-servant contract with the Golden Feather Giant Eagle?]
Gu He hesitated for a moment, recalling the Little Fairy Doctor waiting outside.
He decisively declined the system's prompt. However, as his consciousness brushed against the golden egg, detailed information about the Golden Feather Giant Eagle flooded his mind.
The Golden Feather Giant Eagle, an Rank 8 Magical beast, was a colossal creature. When fully grown, its wingspan could blot out the sky.
Among Rank 8 Magical beasts, it was renowned for its unparalleled speed. Additionally, as a metallic beast, its bones were as hard as diamonds, granting it unmatched defensive capabilities.
It could also unleash golden sword dou qi, making it a formidable combatant.
Gu He was nearly overcome with excitement.
This was a true treasure! The Golden Feather Giant Eagle was an all-around companion—capable of defense, combat, and swift travel. Moreover, as an Rank 8 Magical beast, once hatched, it would possess strength equivalent to a Nine-Star Dou Emperor in human terms.
This time, he had truly struck gold.
