122 Reunion With Fatty (1/2)

”Don’t tell anyone that I told you this. Although the Substitute Life Seed of the Vile Marionette doesn’t seem that powerful, once I’m level up to a transcendent, this skill from this Life Seed will evolve into a secret skill that can save your life. I suggest you choose the same Life Seed as I do when you are leveling up to bronze-level in the future. I heard this from my bro who comes from royalty; it’s a solid piece of information!” Fatty intentionally lowered his voice as he said this to Lin Huang.

Lin Huang figured if he went to Fog Canyon with Fatty and leveled to bronze-level, Fatty would definitely feel weird because he could not hide his tremendous level-up speed.

”Nevermind, I’ll wait for him to level up and convince him to leave me while I stay in Fog Canyon to level up…” Lin Huang thought.

”This piece of information did not come by easily, I’m telling you because you’re my bro. Aren’t I the best?” Fatty boasted.

”Alright, I’ll help you to finish your task. Once it’s completed, you can leave while I stay on to settle some stuff.” Lin Huang suggested.

”That sounds like a plan! Send me your contact details. I’ll book the spaceship ticket to Baqi City for you. We will meet in Baqi City a day before.” Fatty paid for Lin Huang’s ticket since he asked for his help.

”It’s alright, I’ll book the ticket on my own, even if I’m not helping you, I would have to go there in a couple of days anyway.” Lin Huang declined Fatty’s generosity.

”I’ll take you to a good meal once we’re there then.” Fatty wanted to repay Lin Huang’s kindness.

”Sure, I’ll see you next week.” Lin Huang hung up the call.

”Brother, who is that whom you were talking to just now?” Lin Xin was picking up a parcel downstairs and saw Lin Huang on a video-call.

”He’s a friend, he’s asking me to join him in Fog Canyon next week.”

”Is it far?” Lin Xin had never heard of the place before.

”It would take more than 20 days. He’s leveling up to bronze-level and needs my help. I have something to settle in the same area as well so I agreed.”

”Oh…” Lin Xin seemed upset.

”I’ll send you the money for food and daily necessities; I will be back end of September. Whatever you need to buy, don’t worry about the money.” Lin Huang then transferred a million credit points to her.

”One million?!” Lin Xin shrieked, ”That’s too much!”

”Not at all. I’m a hunter now, an iron-level monster carcass is selling for more than 10,000 credits and I can get at least 100,000 credits for a bronze-level monster carcass. I can make one million within minutes strolling through the wild zone.” Credit points were no longer a concern to Lin Huang ever since he became a hunter. His concern was now Life Crystals, one million credit points were equivalent to 10 years’ worth of Life Crystals.

”Is it a lucrative job to be a hunter?!” Although Lin Xin knew hunters made good money, she was not too clear about the occupation itself. Now, she finally understood why all hunters were so rich. ”I want to be a hunter too when I grow up!”

”Why are you so competitive? You should focus on your studies for now. If you graduate from a prestigious school, you could have a better life than me.” Lin Huang patted her head.

”I’m going back to my room to train my gun skills!”

”Go then. Rest up when you need to. Do everything in moderation for the best efficiency.” Lin Huang reminded her.

”Okay!” Lin Xin shouted while she made her way upstairs.

Three days passed and Lin Xin’s summer break came to an end. She had officially joined the graduation class of Hunter Reserve College. As planned, Lin Huang headed to Baqi City a day earlier before venturing into Fog Canyon. He checked into a hotel near the central plaza and called Yin Hangyi.

”I’m here, where are you?” He called Fatty.

”I’ve arrived since yesterday!” Fatty sounded lazy, ”I just woke up from a nap. Was just thinking of calling to check and see when you'll be arriving. Come to my hotel, I still have an empty room in my suite.”

”I just checked into a hotel.” Lin Huang did not want to sleep in the same room with the chatterbox.

”So fast? Which hotel are you staying in?” Fatty asked.

”I’m at Yun Man Hotel, what about you?”

”Oh that’s such a coincidence; I’m staying at Yun Man Hotel too!” Fatty was excited.

”There are only three hotels around the central plaza that hunters would usually opt for.” Lin Huang was not surprised at all.

”Which floor are you on?” Fatty asked.

”I'm o the 17th floor, what are you trying to do?”

”I’m going to visit you of course! I’m still on the 29th floor. Wait for me, I’m coming to you!” Fatty then asked, ”Which room number?”

”Room 1721…” Lin Huang knew very well that if he did not tell him his room number, Fatty would definitely knock on each room to look for him.
