Watching the old couple play with the just-awakened Thunder Pattern Snow Fox, Chu Tian spoke, "This is a Thunder Pattern Snow Fox, a snow fox with the talent of thunder. You see, isn't it better to give it a name? Actually, it's quite inconvenient for me to take it along on missions."
Hearing Chu Tian's complaint, the Thunder Pattern Snow Fox whined at him, trying to break free from Shen Lan's embrace. It shook its snowy white fur, emitted a few sparks, and then exhaustedly lay down on the ground.
Although the Thunder Pattern Snow Fox naturally possessed considerable talent abilities, its physical strength and spirit energy were too low in its juvenile stage.
After resting at home for a day, Chu Tian left. Under his mother's numerous reminders and cautions, he remembered the Elf's Tears he had left in the system space and handed them to Shen Lan.
"This is an Elf's Tear. Keep it," Chu Tian said.
He then explained the various uses and precautions of the Elf's Tears before leaving home and heading towards the mercenary base.
With the New Elite Martial Arts Competition starting in fifteen days, Chu Tian knew that many warriors with rare talents would appear. He decided to level up in the ten days he had before the competition, giving himself a buffer to train.
With this in mind, instead of going to the mission hall, Chu Tian headed straight to the spaceport.
Approaching the mercenary base's spaceport, he saw Kleysa nearby, enthusiastically persuading passersby to forge weapons and equipment.
"Kleysa," Chu Tian greeted her.
But Kleysa ignored him as if he were air.
Chu Tian then said with a smile, "Sis, I want to go to the Shore of Death."
"Huh! Are you on a mission?" Kleysa asked indifferently, but then she looked up at Chu Tian with wide eyes, "What? You want to go to the Shore of Death? Do you know what kind of place that is? Who assigned you this mission? Isn't this sending you to your death?"
"I want to go on my own, no mission," Chu Tian said with a slight smile, seeing that his friend still cared about him.
But Kleysa shook her head.
"No, you can't. You've just advanced to a C-level talent warrior. Going to the Shore of Death is like seeking death. Do you know that the weakest beasts there are C-level?" Kleysa refused outright.
"I know you're concerned about me. Besides, don't you know my talents? If I can't beat them, I can run," Chu Tian said, looking at Kleysa with a pleading gaze.
Kleysa hesitated, knowing that missions to the Shore of Death were usually undertaken by A-level or at least B-level talent warriors. Chu Tian, who had just advanced to C-level, was clearly not qualified.
Moreover, Chu Tian was considered a potential future asset for Base No.3, and even his family had started paying attention to him. If something happened to him, it would be impossible to find another talent like Chu Tian.
The Skexen family had many outstanding young talents, but none of them were expected to reach the heights that Chu Tian could achieve.
Base No.3 was gradually being isolated by the Federation, and families from other regions had risen in power over the centuries, now rivaling the Skexen family.
After much thought, Kleysa finally said, "I can recommend other places for you. Just give up on the Shore of Death."
"Why?" Chu Tian knew that even as a C-level, he could survive in the Shore of Death as long as he didn't act recklessly.
"Human and beast talent warriors at the same C-level are always weaker than beasts. Humans are simply too fragile compared to beasts," Kleysa said, shaking her head in disagreement.
"I'll just stay on the outskirts, how about that?" Chu Tian assured her.
Finally, after a lot of persuasion and promises from Chu Tian, Kleysa reluctantly agreed.
Whether Chu Tian would keep his word was another matter.
The spacecraft slowly ascended and then flew off into the distance with a sonic boom.
The Shore of Death was originally a coastal town and one of the most prosperous trade coasts in the Huaxia region. However, with the resurgence of spiritual energy, awakened beasts from the sea attacked the city, turning it into ruins.
Over hundreds of years, the beasts here evolved, making it a place where ordinary humans could not survive. Even the weakest beasts in the Shore of Death had C-level strength, so it became a dead zone near Base No.3. Only B-level or above talent warriors usually took missions here.
Chu Tian stepped off the spacecraft, which then quickly ascended, returning like a cannonball.
However, fourteen days later, at 2 p.m., the spacecraft would come back to pick up Chu Tian.
Many mission points had spacecraft stations and flight bases
