Chapter 166: Mr. FuTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the next day, Lin Huang checked out of the hotel early in the morning. From what the head examiner said earlier, he could guess that the location of the third a.s.sessment would not be in Beixuan City. After breakfast, Lin Huang arrived at the Hunter a.s.sociation near the plaza at around 7:40 a.m.
Lin Huang looked around but he did not see Bai Yan. Lin Huang was sure that Bai Yan had dismissed himself from the a.s.sessment. However, he saw Xia Y and she saw him too, but she turned her head to the other side and pretended not to see him. Lin Huang smirked, “Do you think I"d let you go just like that?…”
Soon, it was 8 a.m. n.o.body was late this time, all the partic.i.p.ants who pa.s.sed the second a.s.sessment had arrived. A Demonic Crystal s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p landed from the sky which was puzzling because the plaza in front of the Hunter a.s.sociation was not the official docking point for the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. Seeing the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p arrive, it was clear that the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was being chartered exclusively by the Hunter a.s.sociation for transportation.
“The Hunter a.s.sociation is so generous to the point that they would get a Demonic Crystal s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p to pick us up.”
“This is not a common Demonic Crystal s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, but the latest Red Devil from the MEA Group. Each division is only limited to 100 of these and the price of each of them is equivalent to the price of three five-star relics. There are attack and defense systems on it that are on the same level as relics. I heard that even if the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p encountered transcendent monsters, it would be able to defeat them.” A young man who was quite knowledgeable about the Demonic Crystal s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p said in excitement.
A gigantic red s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p landed on the plaza at the entrance of the Hunter a.s.sociation. A short, old man with white beard walked down from the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. The two head examiners, Xu Jinpeng and Zhuo Lin rushed to greet the old man, they said respectfully, “Mr. Fu.”
The old man laughed and nodded.
“Why are you here, Mr. Fu?” Xu Jinpeng asked. Mr. Fu was a transcendent with many other apprentices who were also transcendents. He was a highly respected person here in Division7.
“I just bought this Red Devil, is it wrong for me to show it off a little?” Mr. Fu laughed and Xu Jinpeng did not know what to say.
Zhuo Lin jumped in and said, “Seems like you took good care of your s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, Mr. Fu.”
“Of course, it arrived just yesterday.” What Mr. Fu said made them speechless again.
The both of them did not say anything but laugh along with the old man.
“Alright, I shall stop fooling around with you guys. I just bought this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p but l need to use it in order for me to test it out. I heard you guys needed a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p so this is my chance to try it out.” Mr. Fu said and looked at the partic.i.p.ants, his gaze stopping at the direction of Lin Huang and a few other partic.i.p.ants.
“There is some great potential here.”
Xu Jinpeng and Zhuo Lin were glad to hear that, they knew that Mr. Fu had a unique observation skill which was why all his apprentices were terrifyingly powerful. Since he saw great potential here, there was bound to be some partic.i.p.ants who were worth training by the Hunter a.s.sociation.
“Alright kids, scan your ident.i.ty? You should board the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p now!” After chatting with the two head examiners, Mr. Fu then waved to the partic.i.p.ants. A bunch of them rushed to board the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. Once all of them boarded the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, Mr. Fu waved at both head examiners and returned to the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
“Please find yourselves a room, we"ll only arrive at our destination tomorrow morning.” Mr. Fu said to the partic.i.p.ants and headed to the c.o.c.kpit. The partic.i.p.ants were wondering who he was.
“Who is this Mr. Fu?”
“How can he afford this Demonic Crystal s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p on his own? He must be a transcendent.”
Aside from the speculation of Mr. Fu being a transcendent, none of them knew who Mr. Fu really was. Even a couple of young men from royal families had no idea. Lin Huang stood on the deck and watched the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p depart. He saw Xia Yu from the corner of his eye. She was standing at the side of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, looking down at the Beixuan City beneath them with a frown. She seemed to be troubled. Noticing that Lin Huang was watching her, she looked at his direction but Lin Huang had looked away. She then proceeded to look outside once again. Lin Huang did not care what she was thinking about as he walked towards the residential area.
Many of them were trying to get into the VIP area on the top floor but Lin Huang randomly picked a room on the second floor. The reason why he chose the second floor was simple; he did not want to share the elevator with the others. It was convenient for him to get downstairs and more importantly, it was quiet. The s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p had outstanding soundproofing but the sound of people walking in the corridor could still be heard in the rooms.
Although the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was luxurious, it was empty as there were no other crew members on board. There were no kitchenware, plates, or alcohol in the restaurant on the first floor except the equipment. The only entertainment on the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was the swimming pool on the top floor which could only be used with Mr. Fu"s permission.
As the sun began to set, the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p began descending as well and startled quite a few people.
“Please do not panic, I wanted to try out the sailing function of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p at night. Just rest on the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p as usual. I"ll send all of you to the a.s.sessment location tomorrow morning.” Mr. Fu"s voice was heard on the loudspeaker. The red Demonic Crystal s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p landed on the ocean. Usually, most Demonic Crystal s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps came with the ability to sail float on water or even dive.
As it began to slowly sail on the ocean, Mr. Fu grabbed a fis.h.i.+ng rod and walked out of the c.o.c.ktail and headed to the side of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p with a smile. Many were concerned if they could make it to the a.s.sessment location on time because the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was moving slowly. They approached Mr. Fu to confirm if they would make it and Mr. Fu waved his hand, “Don"t worry, if I don"t make it on time, I"ll get the Hunter a.s.sociation to give you your licenses immediately.”
What he said rea.s.sured the partic.i.p.ants. Mr. Fu then walked to the side of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p and took up a tall chair from his storage s.p.a.ce. There was no bait on his hook but he sat on the chair and tossed the hook into the sea. He proceeded to smoke a pipe but seemed like he was falling asleep.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang was watching the sunset on the balcony. He saw Mr. Fu fis.h.i.+ng and used his Emperor"s Heart Ring to take photos of the scenery. The pictures came out good. An old man sitting by the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, fis.h.i.+ng with an orange sun next to him. The view was quite breathtaking.
Lin Huang then returned to his room and ate some snacks. When the sun was beginning to set, he walked to the balcony again. Mr. Fu did not catch any fish but he did seem relaxed. Lin Huang thought to himself that since he had nothing to do, he might as well accompany the old man. Perhaps he could even grill the fish if the old man managed to catch one.
Lin Huang headed directly to Mr. Fu after he got to the first floor. He stopped beside Mr. Fu and asked, “Mr. Fu, do you have any more fis.h.i.+ng rods?”
Mr. Fu looked at him in doubt and asked, “Do you know how to fish?”
“I have tried fis.h.i.+ng before but it was a long time ago.” What Lin Huang said was the truth. When he was on earth, he had a customer who loved fis.h.i.+ng. He learned many things about fis.h.i.+ng from him as he would occasionally fish with the customer. That was how he learned how to fish.
Mr. Fu did not say anything but pa.s.sed Lin Huang a fis.h.i.+ng rod and a tall chair like the one he was sitting on. Lin Huang took the fis.h.i.+ng rod and noticed that there was no bait so he put his snack on the hook. He then sat on the chair and tossed the hook into the sea. Mr. Fu could see that Lin Huang really did know how to fish so he gave him a nod and continued smoking.
Soon, the bait hooked a fis.h.!.+
“Not bad.” Mr. Fu complimented and pa.s.sed Lin Huang a net. After Lin Huang got the fish on board, he used the net to capture the fish while he took out a pail he brought from his storage s.p.a.ce. He cut open the top of the pail and tossed the fish in. The fish was quite small at only one catty but this was definitely a good start!
After the first fish, Lin Huang was getting luckier. Within half an hour, he managed to catch more than 10 fishes and the biggest one was almost 10 catties. Meanwhile, Mr. Fu still hasn"t caught one. However, he did not appear to be worried. Lin Huang, on the other hand, felt awkward.
“Mr. Fu, why don"t you try using my snack as bait.” Lin Huang suggested.
“Don"t worry, it"s about time.” Mr. Fu looked at the sky, it was getting dark.
Lin Huang did not understand but did not ask further either. As the sky got darker, he noticed that was something under the water. There seemed to be a small, glowing red snake under Mr. Fu"s fis.h.i.+ng rod. Lin Huang then activatedBoundless Vision to look and he realized that it was a red snake formed completely from Life Power. It was moving beneath the waters and could not be seen clearly during the day but now that it was dark, its red glow became obvious.
“That"s a terrifying mastery of Life Power… He is able to use his Life Power to create a lifeform that can move.” Lin Huang suddenly realized that fis.h.i.+ng was part of training for Mr. Fu. Suddenly, a gigantic shadow approached his bait at lightning speed. Mr. Fu smirked and a strong power pulled on his fis.h.i.+ng rod halfway into the ocean.
“Up!”
Mr. Fu smirked and shouted, his right hand pulling up a gigantic black fish that was almost 100 meters long. The fish landed hard on the deck behind the both of them. The entire s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p shook and many who saw what had happened were shocked.
“This is… A sea queen! A gold-level Goldenink Grouper!” Some of the people watching exclaimed in excitement.
