It was a sunny day on the 18th of March.
It was early spring, and the temperature in Emperor City had begun to warm up. People removed their thick down jackets and cotton-padded jackets and began to regain their vitality.
The sun had just risen in the morning. The sky was clear and blue without any clouds.
The sun shone on their bodies, giving them a faint warmth.
Lin Huang brought a bunch of his old friends to Mrs. Fatty's soup dumplings early in the morning.
In reality, there were professional Food Hunters in Dynasty who took turns to make breakfast every day. Lin Huang liked coming to Mrs. Fatty's house not entirely because of the delicious soup dumplings. In terms of taste, the Food Hunters' soup dumplings would definitely taste better. The main reason why he liked coming to Mrs. Fatty's house for breakfast was that it was very down-to-earth. Such a sense of life was actually the daily life of most ordinary people in this gravel world. It was such a realistic daily life that made Lin Huang realize clearly that he was actually just an ordinary human.
They combined two tables into one big table at Mrs. Fatty's house and sat around it.
Brother Fatty served the dumplings while chuckling.
"They're fresh out of the steamer. Eat them while they're hot!"
Little Fatso and Yin Hangyi were the first to pick up their chopsticks. They could not stop praising the deliciousness after taking a bite.
The rest began eating one after another.
"His cooking skills are amazing!" Fatso commented after finishing the steamer of dumplings. "The skin and filling of the dumplings are almost perfect. The heat is just right too."
"Master said that his dumplings are almost as perfect as ordinary people can make them. Many Food Hunters might not be able to make them better with the same ingredients, "Lin Huang repeated what Mr. Fu said while smiling.
After breakfast, Lin Huang acted as a tour guide and brought them to a few famous attractions in Emperor City. They ate, drank, and had fun along the way.
Ever since Lin Huang traveled to this world, he had only experienced such a relaxing state a few times in the past four years.
Lin Huang only brought them back to Dynasty's headquarters when it was time for dinner in the afternoon.
He invited all of his friends into the Emperor Palace. Naturally, apart from them, Lin Xin, Mr. Fu, and Xiao Mo were there too.
In front of a large dining table, a group of people sat in a circle.
Lin Huang sat at the head of the table with Mr. Fu on his left and Lin Xin on his right.
To make it easier for them to talk, Mr. Fu set up a sound barrier around the dining table to prevent any sound from leaking out.
The chefs busied themselves excitedly in the kitchen of the Human Emperor Palace. This was their first time entering the Human Emperor Palace.
Before the dishes were served, the bartender began to mix the drinks everyone wanted to drink according to their tastes.
When everyone's wine glasses were filled, Lin Huang picked up the wine glass in front of him.
"Among all of you, I've known you the earliest for almost four years. The shortest time was about three years. Some fought against the monster horde with me, some cleared the ruins with me, some grew up with me, some provided me with help and love, some went through life and death situations with me … "
"I think I'm lucky to be able to meet all of you and have such a fate with all of you …"
"Lin Huang, you're making me embarrassed," Little Fatso said shamelessly while rubbing the back of his head.
"I think I have no regrets in my life to be able to witness your rise," Yi Zheng said in all seriousness.
"I knew you'd definitely be successful, but I didn't expect you to grow so much in less than four years," Yi Yeyu said emotionally. Lin Huang was only her student back then.
"You've saved my life twice," Leng Yuexin said while smiling calmly, "I'm the luckier one."
"You're the one who gave me my life," Xiao Mo patted his chest.
Chan Dou said while smiling, "You said I took care of you before, but I don't remember. I only remember that you took me in when I lost my memory. "
Li Lang, who was dressed in a white suit as if he was getting married, raised his glass high. "We've fought side by side more than once. We've been through life and death situations together. Let's skip the pretentious words and drink! "
Looking at the lively dining table, Liu Ming smiled and said to Mr. Fu through voice transmission, "You're all good kids."
Mr. Fu smiled and nodded. He picked up his glass and finished it in one gulp.
Besides Lin Huang and the rest, even Lin Xin who had never touched alcohol picked up her glass of fruit wine and finished it in one gulp.
"I invited everyone to this gathering to bid farewell to all of you."
Lin Huang only spoke slowly after finishing his glass of wine.
"I'll leave the gravel world in two days and head to the great world to find a way to solve the gravel world's disaster."
Apart from Mr. Fu, almost everyone was stunned as soon as Lin Huang said that.
"You're going to enter the virtual zone?" Liu Ming was the first to react and asked immediately. Subsequently, he turned his head and peeped at Mr. Fu. He seemed to be wondering why Mr. Fu did not stop Lin Huang from committing suicide.
"Do we have to enter the virtual zone?" Yi Zheng asked while frowning slightly.
Lin Huang nodded lightly. "For now, the virtual zone is the only way to the great world that I know of."
"I heard that no one who entered the virtual zone ever came back alive …" Yi Yeyu was a little worried.
"In reality, not everyone who entered the virtual zone died. As far as I know, two of them survived. " Lin Huang explained, "One of them is the God Bless's Master God. He's a native of our gravel world and went to the great world through the virtual zone. The other one is the demigod Qi Muxiong. I found out from his inherited memory that he entered the virtual zone before. "
"The reason why no one has returned from the Void Domain alive is because not everyone who entered the Void Domain has died. It's more likely that the virtual zone is a one-way road. As soon as you enter, you might not be able to return. "
"If that's the case, even if you pass through the virtual zone alive and go to the great world, how are you going to return?" Leng Yuexin could not help but ask.
"What I'm thinking now is to find another way to come back. That's the second thing I need to do apart from finding the source of the catastrophe after entering the great world. I must return before the catastrophe arrives! "
"In reality, I think we might be able to get through this catastrophe if you stay and develop the alliance between Dynasty and the Coalition government in the next one or two years," Liu Ming suggested.
"I've thought about what you said, but it's only a temporary solution. Our civilization in the gravel world has been destroyed over and over again because the catastrophe has come again and again. To solve the problem from the root, we can only go to the great world to find the source of the problem. The world that we're in can only be truly safe if we solve the source of the problem. "Lin Huang thought further.
"Grandpa Fu, can't you seal the crack in the Abyss Brink one more time?" Lin Xin could not help but ask softly.
"Girl, it's not as simple as you think." Mr. Fu shook his head while forcing a smile and told her the truth.
"In reality, the seal on the crack isn't used to seal the crack. I can't seal the crack with my current Virtual God rank-9 combat strength. We announced that the seal was useful to reassure the people. The actual purpose of the seal is to prevent some weak monsters from entering our world through the crack. It's the world will of our gravel world that's defending against the invasion of the outside world. When the world will can't stop the crack from expanding, the True Gods from the outside world can invade through the crack. How can we seal them? "
In reality, Lin Huang had learned the truth about the crack from Wu Mo. Mr. Fu aside, even some of the True Gods from the ancient epoch could not do anything to the crack even if they worked together to seal it.
"I'm going to the great world this time to find out why the crack appeared. Only by finding out the cause of the crack can we find a way to eliminate it. "
"But there are too many uncertainties. We're not even sure if the virtual zone can lead to the great world. Even if we get to the great world, it's a problem how we'll get back. Also, we don't know if we can find out the cause of the crack's formation, or if the crack can be eliminated. "Liu Ming raised more questions.
"If no one explores these unknowns, they'll remain unknowns forever."
As soon as Lin Huang said this, everyone present fell into a long silence.
Someone had to take the first step in exploring the unknown. Even if it was not Lin Huang, there would always be someone else in the future.
"Actually, there's another main reason why I want to go to the great world." Lin Huang added, "My cultivation method is rather special. It's very difficult for my combat strength to be elevated in the gravel world. If I stay in the gravel world, I might not even be able to elevate a small level in a year. However, in the great world, a year might be enough for me to elevate to virtual god-level. "
At that moment, Mr. Fu finally spoke to smooth things over.
"A man's ambition is to travel far. I agree that Lin Huang should go to the great world to explore. This gravel world is too small for him. A True Dragon can't be raised in shallow water. I think the great world is Lin Huang's stage. I also believe that he can make a name for himself in the great world! "
"I think so too," Lin Huang said with a cheeky smile, "Alright, let's not talk about me. Let's talk about something else."
As soon as the master-apprentice pair said this, the originally solemn atmosphere dissipated significantly.
Although the atmosphere was not as good as it had been at the beginning of the banquet, it was much better than before. Everyone began to chat casually.
When the banquet ended, it was almost 8: 30 p.m.
The chef and bartender had already left the Emperor Palace more than half an hour ago.
Seeing that the dishes on the table were basically swept clean, Lin Huang picked up his wine glass and stood up.
"This is the last glass. After drinking, I have a gift for everyone."
Everyone stood up, raised their wine glasses, and downed them in one gulp.
The banquet finally came to an official end.
"Alright, I'll give all of you your gifts now," Lin Huang said and was the first to walk to Yi Zheng. He pointed a finger at his forehead.
Almost at the same time, he communicated with Xiao Hei through his mind. "Use a Flawless Card. Target Yi Zheng."
As the Flawless Card turned into a golden glow and entered Yi Zheng's body, Yi Zheng immediately felt the changes in his body. He immediately sat down with his legs crossed.
Everyone looked at Yi Zheng in shock. They could not see the golden glow that the Flawless Card turned into. All they saw was Lin Huang pointing a finger at Yi Zheng's forehead.
Subsequently, Lin Huang walked to Yi Yeyu and pointed a finger at her forehead again. He used a second Flawless Card.
Subsequently, Lin Huang used a Flawless Card on Leng Yuexin, Li Lang, Liu Ming, Chan Dou, Xiao Mo, Yin Hangyi, and Lin Xin.
In the Emperor's Palace, apart from Lin Huang and Mr. Fu, the rest sat with their legs crossed, feeling the changes in their bodies.
When it was around midnight, Chan Dou and the rest only woke up one after another. They looked at Lin Huang in shock.
"Lin Huang, what did you do? I can feel that my talent and potential have improved tremendously! "Yi Yeyu asked with her eyes wide open.
"It's nothing. It's just a little trick. I can only use it once." Naturally, Lin Huang did not want to explain further.
"All of you are on immortal-level. It's just nice that you can cultivate ancient methods." Lin Huang said to Yi Yeyu and the rest, "I'll evaluate the most suitable cultivation direction for all of you in the next two days. I'll teach you the methods by then."
Lin Huang had informed Mr. Fu a few days ago and shared the methods that he obtained and Bloody's research with Mr. Fu.
"Xiao Mo, although your physique has been modified by the Crow Gods and you're close to perfect-stage demigod-level and you're on imperial-level purple gold-rank, you haven't consolidated a Life Palace in your body. You'll be able to build your foundation if you continue cultivating the methods that I gave you earlier. "
"As for Boss Chan, you seem to have elevated to imperial-level using the ancient methods that I gave you back then. I think you performed the methods subconsciously when you lost consciousness in God Bless. Given that you have a rich foundation, you naturally completed your foundation and elevated to imperial-level. You'll be able to continue cultivating this method. You don't have to cultivate other ancient methods. "
"What about me? I feel like my talent is much better now, "Little Fatso said immediately after seeing that Lin Huang had made arrangements for the rest.
"It depends on what path you want to take." Lin Huang turned around and looked at Yin Hangyi. "You can cultivate with me if you want to. You can open a shop in Emperor City if you want to be a Food Hunter. "
"No matter what choice you make, I'd personally suggest that you stay in Emperor City. The old lady can stay here as well. You can bring aunty and the rest over. Sell the shop. Baqi City is just a C-grade foothold after all. It can't be compared to Emperor City. Keep the house in your hometown. You can stay there if you want to visit in the future. As for the other properties, you can deal with whatever you need to. "
Fatso was a little moved when he heard that, but he was still a little hesitant. "Give me some time. I'll think about it."
In reality, Lin Huang knew that Fatso was hesitating because he was worried about his grandmother.
However, he knew the old lady very well. She would definitely not do anything that would burden Yin Hangyi. She might even ask Fatso to stay.
After making arrangements for his friends, Lin Huang walked to Lin Xin.
"Girl, follow me and cultivate well. Read more books and don't play around. "
"Okay." Lin Xin had tears in her eyes. "Brother, you must come back!"
"I'll definitely come back within a year!" Lin Huang patted Lin Xin's head while smiling. "I can't bear to leave such a cute sister behind."
