The artifacts made from ferocious beasts are described in just a few simple words, but their value is difficult to measure.

For example, the beast belt won from Montes Steel can enhance the absorption of blood serum. For some efficiency seekers, this is an invaluable item, attracting the most elite young people in Western Capital City to pursue it.

The more they stand at the forefront of their peers, the more ambitious they become. As long as the effort is assessed to bring sufficient returns, many people will queue up to use the Beast Belt, even if it means taking out a loan.

However, the beast belt is useless to ordinary people; wearing it around the waist feels no different from a three-dollar imitation leather belt.

The value of these artifacts made from ferocious beasts clearly varies from person to person at different levels.

Zhang Xuezhou not only needs a reputable trading partner, but also someone who can appreciate the value of a product.

Chimon Haig, standing at the restaurant entrance, stared at the feather in Zhang Xuezhou's hand for more than ten seconds.

"What is the use of this beast artifact?" Chimmon Hagrid asked cautiously.

"The artifacts made from ferocious beasts are extremely valuable and involve highly confidential information. Your question warrants a special service," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"It's definitely worth it!"

Chimmon Hagrid pondered for a few seconds before nodding.

"Zhou Xin is staying at my hotel temporarily. He's searching for fuel and other supplies and will be back this evening," Chimon Haig replied. "But a fireball appeared today, so I'm not sure if he's heading towards it or if he'll still be back on time!"

"This feather has the ability to propel you into flight; it's a prize from our Scarlet Alliance State's competition for ranks, but it's useless to you!"

Zhang Xuezhou gestured with his hand, then tucked the beast feather back into his clothes.

This made Chimman Hagrid almost want to curse.

He stumped the other party with a question, and in the blink of an eye, the other party had already broken the deadlock.

Chimon Haig suffered no losses, and neither did the other side.

If the beast's feathers had the effect as Zhang Xuezhou said, then they were indeed useless to him; at most, they broadened his knowledge a little.

If it's a treasure that's of great use to him, Qimeng Haig won't care about reputation at all; he'll just take it without hesitation, since there are no laws here in Qinmeng.

However, Zhang Xuezhou's monster artifacts were indeed ineffective against him.

Chimmon Hagrid had never seen such useless beast artifacts, so it's no wonder they were given to the younger generation as prizes in the Ordinal Scale.

"Is it really only capable of boosting flight?" Chimman Hagrid asked, still unconvinced.

"After jumping, the boost is about half a meter high. If you can Crane Soaring, the boost will be slightly stronger," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"That's utterly useless!"

Chimmon Hagrid muttered a complaint.

What Zhang Xuezhou showed off was indeed useless; it was nothing but a title.

These ferocious beast artifacts are more suitable as collectibles, and they can also be useful to certain Sequence Holder.

However, for most people, this feathered beast artifact has no real use.

If this wasn't a feather that could be placed close to the body, but rather had some weight, then this beast feather would be completely useless.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't even need to worry about these beast-themed artifacts being stolen.

"Young men, you have a little money, you can come here for a bite to eat and a drink," Chimmon Hagrid finally said dejectedly. "You can borrow a stool to sit on while waiting during the day, no charge!"

Thank you!

Zhang Xuezhou bowed politely and thanked him.

He entered Qin Meng's small restaurant with an open and generous manner, sat down at a simple stainless steel table, and looked around at the unassuming restaurant with its strong metallic style.

Setting up a restaurant at Huli Port was not only to welcome guests, but also to facilitate escape.

Many stainless steel products are designed to protect against potential impacts such as animal tides and also facilitate post-disaster reconstruction.

In the small restaurant, some old metal cups were pitted and worn, and some metal stools had been reduced from four legs to three, with the seat replaced by a wooden board, clearly having weathered many storms.

If anyone knows Qin Meng's situation best, Qimeng Haige is certainly one of them.

"Brother Zhou, how come there are so many Seventh Sequence individuals in the Aomeijia Alliance?"

Zhang Xuezhou is a person who communicates easily and freely, and this is someone Wang Li repeatedly wanted to ask but found difficult to do.

He glanced at Chimon Haig not far away, then thought about the Aomeijia Alliance and the Scarlet Alliance State, and realized that the number of top-level Sequence Holder on both sides was not at the same level.

"The Seventh Sequence is limited by the type of ferocious beast; this level depends on luck, and the people of Aomeijia were just lucky," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If you look at the Sixth Sequence, Fifth Sequence, and Fourth Sequence, you'll find that the differences in population among the major powers aren't that significant."

"I really crave higher sequences!"

Wang Li sighed softly.

He has plenty of assets thanks to his businesses in various industries, but he lacks the necessary resources.

With the Zhou Household blocking his way, Wang Li wouldn't get any blood serum related to the Black Armor Combat Technique; he'd have to snatch even the scraps.

Unless Wang Li can hunt down exotic beasts such as the Xuan Turtle or the Armored Turtle, he will have no chance of obtaining medium to high-grade blood potions.

Wang Li now only hopes for the possibility of hunting and waits for Zhang Xuezhou and others to make progress at the North Rehe Laboratory.

Once Zhang Xuezhou can hunt down the corresponding exotic beasts and tame them, and then wait for the North Rehe Laboratory to produce the blood serum he needs, this chain of steps will complete the process.

It takes extremely good luck to complete the entire development.

For now, Wang Li can only honestly work as a driver.

"High sequence, so what?" Chimmon Hagrid scoffed. "Are you planning to kill a few more monsters, or are you going to use your high sequence to plunder other people's resources?"

"I didn't think that way," Wang Li said, speechless.

"Then what's the difference between being in a high sequence and a low sequence?" Chimmon Hagrid retorted. "You don't even understand the meaning of becoming stronger. If you don't understand that, then there's no need for you to become stronger!"

"But this is a normal person's pursuit of progress!" Wang Li argued softly.

"Your thinking is no different from those kids in school who only know how to go to class on time but don't know why they're studying," Chimmon Hagrid said. "If your thinking remains at this immature stage, you are not suitable to become a high- Sequence Holder Sequence Holder, nor is it possible for you to become one. In the end, you can only become a mediocre member of the Sequence Holder!"

"What you're referring to, Mr. Chimon Haig, is belief," Zhang Xuezhou pointed out. "Without a strong belief in becoming stronger, it's difficult for one's spirit and energy to unite, thus hindering the possibility of achieving high-level sequences. This should be a basic requirement for the Fourth Sequence. A sufficiently strong belief can also drive the progress of the first three sequences, just like when we helped you advance your sequencing capabilities. Once you persevered, a new world opened up for you, and at that time you should have been able to perceive your own belief in becoming stronger!"

"Back then, I just wanted to find a glimmer of opportunity in the sequence," Wang Li thought about the beatings he had suffered in the past for rapidly advancing his fighting techniques. He paused for two seconds before saying, "Does a person have to be constantly immersed in this kind of emotion to move forward?"

"No need," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said, "But if you can adjust to this state when you advance the sequence hierarchy, that should be somewhat beneficial to you."

"I understand!"

Wang Li nodded.

Chimmon Hagrid was amazed, thinking that the ordinary Wang Li had encountered an extraordinary guide.

Even in casual conversation, the other person can immediately pinpoint the most fundamental issue.

If one can provide guidance along the way, even mediocre people can be continuously led upwards.

To Chimon Haig's surprise, Zhang Xuezhou's strength seemed weak, yet he could easily and casually engage in equal conversation with him.

"Turns out he's a theoretical genius!"

He pondered for a moment and felt that he had figured out Zhang Xuezhou's background.

Zhang Xuezhou has no shortage of theory or conviction; what he lacks is physical fitness.

If I'm not mistaken, the young man in front of me either has weak genes or his body has been adjusted after a blood transfusion, and his body's sequence is stuck at a low stage, not even reaching the Third Sequence.

Chimman Hagrid thought this might also relate to the reason why the other party was looking for Zhou Xin.

"I have a little bit of research on weak genes, and I even have some finished products. Would you like to trade that feather for mine?"

Chimmon Hagrid thought about it for a moment and decided that exchanging scrap for scrap was a perfectly reasonable solution.

If what he gets in exchange is even slightly better, then he considers it a profit.

This prompted him to quickly propose a deal to Zhang Xuezhou.
