123 Lin Huang’s Ambition (1/2)

It was a sunny day on the 2nd of September in Baqi City. The Demonic Crystal Spaceship landed on the central plaza at 10 in the morning. Other Demonic Crystal Spaceships that took different routes docked at the same place too.

After scanning their tickets, Lin Huang and Yin Hangyi boarded the spaceship. They were staying on different floors, Lin Huang on the sixth floor while Yin Hangyi was on the eighth floor. However, Fatty loved Lin Huang’s company. Besides sleeping, he spent most of the time in Lin Huang’s room.

”Hey Fatty, have you ever thought of inheriting your dad’s hotel one day?” Lin Huang was annoyed.

”The food ordinary chefs are allowed to handle is limited. If I become a Food Hunter, I'll make even more delicious food. That’s my desire in the food industry.” Fatty explained, ”Besides, I hope that I could do even better than my dad which is why he supports me fully in becoming a Food Hunter.”

”What about you, why do you want to be a hunter?” Fatty asked him back.

”I’m not a fan of placing my fate in someone else’s hands. It’s not 100% safe in the foothold, even C-grade ones that have a transcendent as their guardian. After all, transcendent are still human beings, they too make mistakes, they too could die in battles. Instead of putting my life in a transcendent’s hand, I would rather take control of my own life. That’s why I aspire to be stronger so that I could protect myself as well as the people around me.” Lin Huang spoke with passion and then thought again. There was a deeper reason why he desired to be strong.

”It’s not all about insecurity. I would love to see how big this world is. Before I become a transcendent, I am confined to explore the world within the safety zone. Not only I would like to discover other safe zones, I would also like to see the world outside those safety zones, those areas yet to be explored by humans since the new epoch…”

”What’s wrong with you, I’d rather spend all my life in the safety zone than to go anywhere chaotic. About exploring the yet to be discovered, I would let someone else do it.” Fatty crossed his hands.

Lin Huang laughed and thought that what he said made him look ambitious.

It took them 11 days to travel in the Demonic Crystal Spaceship and finally, they arrived at their destination - foothold No.7C29, Fog City. Fog City was 1,200 kilometers from the Fog Canyon, which was the nearest foothold with people from the canyon. It was September 13th at four o’clock in the afternoon when the Demonic Crystal Spaceship in Fog City. Lin Huang and Yin Hangyi got off the spaceship and checked into a hotel together.

”There’s a level-3 wild zone along the way to the Fog Canyon. It would be dangerous if just the both of us went, I will get a team from Adventurer Paradise.” Fatty said this after completing the hotel registration but Lin Huang did not say anything. He could just get the Alexandrian Eagle to bring the both of them there but he did not want to reveal his true ability. The reason the silver-level and gold-level adventurers in Adventurer Paradise were willing to bring people along with them was not because of money. It was a service provided by the Adventurer Paradise that every now and then they could bring other hunters of lower level along on their missions to give them good exposure as part of their recruitment drive, hoping that they will consider joining the club in future.

10 minutes later, Fatty called Lin Huang on his communication device. Lin Huang picked up thinking it was strange, ”What’s wrong?”

”I have found a team, they are departing now. They are in a rush, come and meet us at the east gate!” Fatty hung up the phone without waiting for Lin Huang to respond. He thought it was strange as there was no need for Fatty to rush since there were a couple of adventurers who would team up with other people into the Fog Canyon every day. The sun was setting, if they were to depart now, the both of them would have to stay a night in Fog Canyon on their own.

Lin Huang got out of the hotel right away and rode on the Viridian Wolf to the east gate. When he arrived, he saw fatty and three other silver-level adventurers from afar riding on their mounts while Fatty was standing. He did not look too good.

”What is this about, Fatty?” Lin Huang frowned and asked.

Hearing Lin Huang’s voice, all of them turned around and looked at him.

”You sure are slow, can we leave now?” The leader was dark and skinny. He glared at Lin Huang then pulled the rope on his monster and left. The other two adventurers followed him. The one in the was slightly bald while the last adventurer looked younger. He had a goatee, he then yelled at Fatty, ”Since your friend has a mount, you don’t have to share with us anymore.”

Lin Huang pulled Fatty onto the Viridian Wolf and asked while frowning, ”What exactly happened?”

”Stop asking, let’s go.” Fatty sat behind Lin Huang, he shook his head helplessly.

Lin Huang then patted Viridian Wolf and chased after the adventurers. Three of them were silver-level adventurers riding on ground rhino, a bronze-level monster. It was a common mount, it was not too fast but it was quite resilient.

The three adventurers were riding a cheap mount as the price of a Ground Rhino was much cheaper than a Viridian Wolf. They were probably jealous and left right after they saw Lin Huang on a Viridian Wolf.

”You said you were poor, then how did you afford a Viridian Wolf as your mount! The price of this mount is comparable with silver-level equipment.” Fatty finally got over being mad at Lin Huang.
