Chapter 45 A Lesson in Colors

"Spellwood is the closest town to the Alternate Dimension." Suddenly, Ava remembered something and said cautiously, "You must not cause any trouble. These soldiers have the authority to kill."

As the most important area of the country, the Alternate Dimension absolutely did not allow anyone to break the rules.

John nodded and looked at the buildings in the small town.

Unlike the city, the buildings in the small town were extremely retro, even simple and dilapidated, as if they were just meant to provide a place to stay.

Most of them were storefronts, which didn't look impressive at all. However, any entity that could establish a shop in Spellwood was undoubtedly a top-tier force in the country.

Despite spending countless Stellar Coins, SourceLife Pharmaceuticals still couldn't secure the right to run a shop in Spellwood town.

There were many Beast Guards who made a fortune in the Alternate Dimension, but the materials they gathered would first be partially purchased by the government and then bought by the town's shops. As a result, the resources that eventually made it to the market could have been more extensive.

Caspar said, "Let's stay at a hotel for the night and head to Enigma Woods in the morning!"

As the leader, Caspar made the decision, and the group arrived at a small hotel in the town.

Although the town's facilities were simple, the flow of people was not low.

Everyone was in a hurry, and compared to the residents of the city, they seemed more vigilant.

Caspar asked, "John, you don't mind bunking with others, do you? Sharing a room with others?"

John was taken aback, then nodded. "No problem at all."

The group checked in. The hotels in Spellwood were doing good business and were expensive, so there was no need for one room per person. After putting their luggage away, they left the hotel. It was now three in the afternoon, and they were very hungry after driving all the way. Everyone except for John, who had been snacking the whole way.

The group then went to a restaurant.

Caspar looked at the menu and generously ordered several signature dishes, "Sir, give me some of your signature dishes."

"What is all this?"

John looked confused and then asked in shock, "Are these ingredients all from fierce beasts?"

Morris explained, "Of course, the town is close to Enigma Woods, so fierce beast ingredients aren't expensive. It's a local specialty."

In the Alternate Dimension, the most precious things were various herbs, minerals, etc. Special parts of fierce beasts were also very valuable, but the meat of fierce beasts could be more valuable.

Only Beast Guards with small harvests would choose to bring back fierce beast meat, which was difficult to preserve and would be sold to the town's restaurants.

"Isn't this the famous Beast Tamer Caspar?"

Suddenly, a group of people walked into the restaurant, led by a burly man in black.

His eyes were fierce, and he was clearly not a good person. The others were also full of hostility.

Obviously, the two Beast Guards had a grudge.

In the Alternate Dimension, without the constraints of law, one could fully exert the power of their contract spirit. Conflicts were bound to arise due to resource competition.

Caspar shook the coffee in his hand and sneered, "Leonard, you lost to me last time. Are you feeling dissatisfied? That mutated Ice Hare has greatly enhanced my Beast-Taming power."

Upon hearing this, Leonard glared angrily, and the people behind him were also furious, instantly increasing the tension.

With a teasing expression on his face, Caspar challenged, "If you want to fight with us, then come on."

"You're dead!"

Instantly, a young man, filled with rage, wanted to rush forward.

"Croft, come back!"

As the leader, Leonard shouted, and even with great anger, he had to restrain himself.

This was Spellwood. If you dared to cause trouble, soldiers had the right to shoot you on the spot. No matter how strong a Beast Tamer was, they couldn't break the law.

Going against the military was asking for trouble.

Leonard glared at everyone and then found a table to sit down at.

At this moment, options appeared before John's eyes again.

[Option 1: Summon the golden Slime and fight them directly! Reward: Promotion to Iron-level Beast Tamer. Additional reward: An international flight ticket.]

[Option 2: Eat quietly. Reward: Contract spirit's appetite increases by 5%.]

[Option 3: Show Leonard and his men some color. Reward: Slime's defense increases by 10%.]

John was startled and almost instinctively wanted to choose the first option.

Directly promoting from a Level 5 Beast Tamer to an Iron-level Beast Tamer was a qualitative leap.

Not only could he awaken a second contract spirit, but it would also allow the golden Slime to undergo a bloodline evolution.

If he became an Iron-level Beast Tamer, the Quantum Academy of Techno-Magic would immediately process his admission.

There was a huge gap between a Level 9 Beast Tamer and an Iron-level Beast Tamer, and very few people could break through before going to college.

But the system's additional reward made him hesitate.

An international flight ticket meant he would have to prepare to flee the country!

The price was too high to become an Iron-level Beast Tamer.

John asked in a low voice, "Mr. Kane, what would happen if I attacked them with my contract spirit now?"

Caspar's body shook, and he tightly held John's hand, saying, "John, don't be impulsive!"

Morris seriously explained, "We would be sentenced, and you would be wanted and then shot."

John's mouth twitched, feeling scared.

It seemed the first option was out of the question.

As for the second option, the reward was too poor.

He was just an intern Beast Tamer, and his contract spirit's level was also low. The energy in the Beast Taming space could keep the Slime alive. Only by becoming an Iron-level Beast Tamer would the contract spirit start to pay attention to food.

However, the third option would also lead to conflict. Even without summoning the contract spirit, they would likely fight, attracting soldiers. He didn't want to be hunted down.

John's eyes turned, and he seemed to think of something.

He whispered, "Mr. Kane, I'll go show them some colors."

As soon as he finished speaking, John took out something strange from his pocket, stood up, and walked towards Leonard's table.

Caspar wanted to stop him but was a step too late and could only watch John go to the other table.

Leonard squinted his eyes and said, "What do you want?"

The others also looked unfriendly and full of pressure.

John, however, was all smiles. "I'm here to add some color to the mix."

Leonard slammed the table with his right hand and angrily said, "I want to see what you want to do."

The others also stood up, looking provocative but not making the first move.

Whoever struck first would likely be seen as causing trouble.

"I knew it, this rascal's a constant worry." Caspar shook his head, ready to bring John back.

But the next moment, Caspar's eyes widened, staring blankly at John.

The others were also dumbfounded, their minds blank.

John had a bunch of cards in his hand. He picked up a card and said to Leonard, "Look, this is red."

Then he took out various cards.

John said, "This is yellow. What color is this? Yes, it's green."

Everyone was speechless.

Caspar and his companions were very shocked.

Caspar thought, 'You really are showing them colors!'
