The white-haired school beauty sighs every day, yet he keeps getting stronger.

The gift box was opened.

The contents inside were immediately revealed to me.

It turned out to be a grayish-white release device, about the size of a mobile phone.

Its design is exquisite and unique, resembling a wrist guard.

It has a cool, metallic sheen and looks very high-quality.

A prominent symbol, 【?】, is engraved in the center of the release device.

"This is... a release device manufactured by the Dream Company?"

Zhang Ziyang recognized him at a glance.

The Wangjiang Release Device that Principal Zhao gifted him was developed by Huanmeng Company.

As a well-known large group in the country, Huanmeng's reputation is almost as good as, or even better than, that of Yaoyanling in its previous life.

Huangfu Ji picked up the cup on the coffee table, took a sip of water, and then explained:

"That's right, this is the classic Darkwarrior series launched by Dream Company last year. It is not only easy to carry, but also sturdy and lightweight, and can be used as arm armor in battle."

"In addition, this release device is equipped with a smart chip developed by Huanmeng itself, which can communicate remotely in the rift and scan and identify demon information within a certain distance to inform them of weaknesses, making it very useful for beginners."

"I also selected a few general-purpose cards, which are in the bottom layer of the box. Let's open them together and take a look!"

Only after his uncle pointed it out did Zhang Ziyang realize that the gift box was double-layered.

On top was a release device; peeling back the cardboard revealed a crystal core charger and several cards sealed in a transparent bag on the bottom.

It is clear that this Black Warrior Release Device is powered by crystal cores.

The instruction manual states that a single attribute-less first-order crystal core is sufficient to sustain the power supply of the device for one month.

There are three foreign cards in the bag.

Each wildcard has a star marked on the corner.

This means that these cards were made using materials from Tier 1 monsters.

The three wild cards are:

1. [Water Healing Technique]: It can quickly stop bleeding and accelerate wound healing.

It works very well for treating minor external injuries, but it is helpless against more serious injuries such as comminuted fractures, internal bleeding, and organ damage.

The card is predominantly blue and features numerous blue bubbles. Its main material is the first-tier water-type monster, the Bubble Fish.

2. [Interference Fog]: Quickly creates a white mist that can conceal one's figure and slightly obscure mental detection, with a maximum coverage area of ​​sixty square meters.

It does no damage and only serves to obstruct the enemy's line of sight, and is usually only used for escaping or ambushing.

The card is off-white with a hazy white mist design, and its main material is a first-tier monster, the Mist Spirit.

3. [Reinforced Spider Silk]: Can spray a white reinforced spider silk that can be up to 100 meters long from the wrist. The spider silk has extremely strong adhesiveness and can withstand a weight of up to 300 kilograms.

It is highly functional and suitable for various application scenarios such as climbing high places, binding enemies, and pulling heavy objects.

The card depicts a strange red and blue spider, and its main crafting material is a first-tier monster, the Earth Spider.

……

None of the three wild cards are directly combat-oriented; they are all versatile and applicable cards.

Huangfu Ji smiled:

"When you're out and about, safety is the most important thing. These three wildcards can't help you fight enemies head-on, but they can greatly enhance your ability to survive."

Looking at the Black Warrior Release Device and the three wild cards in his hand, Zhang Ziyang was deeply moved.

This whole setup would cost at least several hundred thousand.

Clearly, Uncle has gone all out.

Although he already possessed the King's Release Instrument.

"Uncle, I...thanks!"

Zhang Ziyang opened his mouth, but ultimately accepted the valuable gift.

"I won't bother with formalities. I promise I'll use them wisely and try to kill as many monsters as possible!"

"Hahaha, that's right, good lad!"

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Ji burst into laughter, raised his hand, and patted the boy's shoulder forcefully, appearing very pleased.

Time flies!

The kid who wasn't even as tall as him back then is now taller than him.

Old Zhang, Caiyun, you've raised a wonderful son!

At that moment, Zhao Rouyun's voice rang out.

"It's time to eat!"

……

My uncle rarely comes home, but the atmosphere at dinner wasn't very harmonious.

After the meal was served, Huangfu Yue kept a cold face and didn't say a word, just silently picked up food and ate.

She gives off an increasingly aloof and cold feeling, like a fairy in the moon palace, making people hesitant to approach her.

Sitting next to her, Zhang Ziyang felt like he was next to an air conditioner that was constantly blowing out cold air; half of his body was about to freeze.

During the journey, Huangfu Ji tried to strike up a conversation several times, but was deterred by his own daughter's glares.

Caught in the middle, Zhao Rouyun had no choice but to turn to Zhang Ziyang for help.

Helpless, Zhang Ziyang had no choice but to do everything he could to liven up the atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, Huangfu Yue was the first to finish eating. She stood up, said, "I'm full, you can eat slowly," and then put away her bowl and chopsticks and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that she's still angry with her father.

Huangfu Ji's eyes were somewhat dejected, but he was at a loss for what to do.

Ultimately, it's my own fault as a father. I haven't been able to take the time to spend with my daughter properly. I'm always busy, busy, busy, and that's how I ended up like this.

Seeing Huangfu Yue come out of the kitchen, she knew she was about to go upstairs and close the door if she didn't say anything.

Zhang Ziyang quickly nudged his uncle with his elbow, then deliberately shouted loudly:

"Uncle, didn't you buy a gift specifically for Huangfu Yue? Why haven't you taken it out yet?"

Huangfu Ji was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening and quickly stood up.

"Oh, right, right, look at my memory! Yueyue, wait a minute, Daddy has a present for you!"

The white-haired girl stopped and subconsciously turned her head to look at him.

Then Huangfu Ji reached into the release device at his waist and took out a beautifully packaged gift box.

Huangfu Ji presented the gift box to his daughter with both hands:

"Yueyue, congratulations on awakening your golden soul card and being successfully admitted to Jinghua University. This is a congratulatory gift that I specially picked out for you at Liuyunxuan."

The middle-aged man's voice was soft, and his usually stern and resolute face, which was usually stern and unyielding in front of the prisoners, was now full of a warm smile.

Huangfu Yue didn't reach out to take it. She gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and her slender arms, placed at her sides, trembled slightly.

what is this?

Do you still think of her as a three-year-old who can be easily appeased with a gift?

Huangfu Yue raised her head, intending to say something sarcastic.

What came into view was her father's slightly weathered face.

My hairline is receding, my skin is tanned, and I have very heavy eye bags. It seems like I haven't had a good night's sleep lately.

This was far removed from the spirited and seemingly omnipotent father she remembered from her childhood; he even seemed somewhat unfamiliar to her.

Looking at the few noticeable white hairs at the temples of the middle-aged man, Huangfu Yue suddenly realized something—her father was getting old…

Thinking of this, the dissatisfaction that had just risen to his throat immediately stopped.

"no need."

Huangfu Yue abruptly threw down those words, turned around, and quickly ran upstairs.

Then a loud door slammed shut came from the second floor.

Huangfu Ji lowered his hand and sighed.

Zhao Rouyun walked over and gently patted her husband's back, saying softly, "Take it slow. So many years of absence can't be made up for in a day or two. After all, you brought this mess on yourself."

Huangfu Ji gave a wry smile and nodded.

He hadn't expected to resolve the estrangement in his daughter's heart so easily.

This matter needs to be handled gradually; we can't rush it.

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

"Uncle, how about I deliver the gift for you?"

The couple immediately turned around, both showing expressions of joy.

"Ziyang, do you have a solution?"

"Well, I can only say I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee it will succeed."

Zhang Ziyang scratched the back of his head, not daring to make a guarantee.

After all, they had just received a gift.

As the saying goes, one who eats the food of another is grateful and one who receives the favor of another is soft-hearted.

It's really not fair to just stand by and watch without contributing anything...
