Foothold No.7A28 was also known as Anning City.
Grade-A super-large footholds had a population of more than 100 million.
Anning City was no exception. It had a permanent population of 800 million. Including the floating population, the total population was about 400 million.
Anning City was naturally not small as it was able to accommodate so many people. It was more than eight million square kilometers. If such a foothold was placed on Earth, it would be considered a big country.
Before Lin Huang arrived at the Grade-A foothold, he had imagined how it would look like. However, when he arrived at Anning City, he realized that it was different from what he had imagined.
He had thought that Grade-A footholds would be filled with all sorts of skyscrapers and modern buildings.
However, most of the buildings in Anning City were ancient buildings. There were very few modern buildings. Ancient buildings, ancient towers, and ancient city walls could be seen everywhere. Most of the buildings had a sense of history.
Even the houses of the ordinary residents were mostly of the same style. They were made of red bricks and green tiles. The tallest houses were only two or three stories high.
The entire city had a sense of history in its prosperity, which made Lin Huang feel even more emotional.
The hotel that Lin Huang had booked was a high-rise building in the center of the foothold. Seeing the real scene of the city, Lin Huang wanted to change hotels. However, he decided against it after thinking about it.
He checked in at the hotel. His room was on the 81st floor.
He took the elevator upstairs and found his room number 081029. Lin Huang swiped his card and entered the hotel room.
The room was very spacious. The wall facing the south of the living room was completely made of transparent bone plates. It was a special artificial bone material. Its transparency was similar to crystal, but its strength and toughness were much higher.
Through the transparent bone plates, Lin Huang could clearly see the area dozens of kilometers to the south of the hotel.
"It seems that living high up has its benefits." Looking at the panoramic view below, Lin Huang's original plan to change hotels finally disappeared.
After entering the master bedroom, he saw a large balcony facing the south with a set of tables and chairs. Lin Huang was in a better mood. He liked this kind of house with a balcony.
He sat on the balcony for a while and enjoyed the breeze before returning to his room.
"Overall, this hotel feels pretty good." After walking around the room, Lin Huang nodded with satisfaction.
Back in the living room, Lin Huang sat on the sofa and began to plan his schedule for the next few days.
Previously, he had booked the long-distance teleportation ticket for thirty-three days later. Now that twelve days had passed, he still had to stay in An Ning City for twenty-one days.
During these 21 days, Lin Huang did not plan to slack off. After finding out that there were three levels above gold-level, he had a clearer idea of his goal.
After cleaning up the living room of the hotel room, he began practicing Wildfire's sword skill again.
For several days in a row, he started practicing from eight in the morning until eleven at night. Excluding breakfast and dinner, he practiced for about fourteen and a half hours every day.
The accumulation of sword skill pieces in his body was also increasing.
Finally, on the sixth day, he had accumulated 1,000 Wildfire Skill Fragments in his body.
Xiao Hei's notification finally came.
"Detected that you have Wildfire sword skill pieces x1000. They can be integrated into a Rare sword skill card. Would you like to integrate them?"
"Integrate them." Lin Huang immediately nodded his head.
Under normal circumstances, a Rare sword skill would only require 300 card pieces to be integrated into a Skill Card. However, for Wildfire, the notification only came when he had accumulated 1,000 card pieces.
"Consuming Wildfire sword skill pieces x1000."
"Congratulations, you have obtained a Rare sword skill, Wildfire."
Lin Huang immediately looked at the Skill Card.
"Skill Card"
"Skill Name: Wildfire"
"Rarity: Rare"
"Type of Skill: Sword"
"Skill Level: Unknown"
"Status: Available"
"Card Remarks: Passable"
"Since the skill level is unknown, it means that this sword skill has surpassed gold-level combat skills. It can be used even when one is a Transcendent." After spending some time familiarizing himself with Xiao Hei, he knew what Xiao Hei meant when it was vague.
"Xiao Hei, I remember you saying that as long as I accumulate enough card pieces, I don't need an Advance Card to upgrade Wildfire to an epic-level skill. Now that I have a complete set of Skill Cards, does that mean that I can get a card piece for each of my sword skills? "Lin Huang asked in doubt. He felt that things were not as simple as he thought.
"You won't be able to get new card pieces if you use Wildfire directly. You'll have to develop a new skill based on Wildfire. If the new skill can pass the evaluation, you'll get new card pieces. "
"What's the evaluation criteria?" Lin Huang immediately asked.
"The evaluation criteria is whether or not it matches Wildfire's sword realm. If it matches, you'll pass the evaluation. If it doesn't, you won't pass the evaluation. "
"Sword Dao will …" Lin Huang thought that the term sounded a little mysterious.
He then looked at the term on the Heart Network. It sounded mysterious on the network but there was no accurate conclusion. Lin Huang was even more confused when he looked at it.
He wanted to call Yi Zheng to ask about it. However, he thought about it carefully. Since he had changed his Emperor's Heart Ring, calling him would only expose his second identity. He suppressed this thought and began to practice his saber again.
The afternoon passed quickly. Lin Huang did not get any more card pieces.
"What the hell is sword realm?" With that in mind, he sat on the sofa and thought about it carefully. He held his chin and thought for a long time. All of a sudden, an idea flashed through his mind. "To upgrade a Rare sword skill to Epic level, I need Sword Dao. Since the Great Sword Scripture that I've mastered is epic-level, it should contain sword realm as well … "
Lin Huang got up from the sofa and started practicing his sword again. However, he was not practicing Wildfire but the Great Sword Scripture.
As he performed the Great Sword Scripture, a mysterious feeling flowed through his skills. That feeling was very special. It was as if he could clearly feel every minute detail of the move. Even when he was performing this set of sword skills, he could cut every speck of dust in the air into halves as long as he wanted to cut it.
After practicing the Great Sword Scripture three times, Lin Huang roughly knew what he wanted to do.
Next, he practiced Flowing Fire over and over again. He began to study every single detail of the sword skill.
A few hours passed. When Lin Huang came back to his senses, it was already past midnight.
He had accumulated more than ten Wildfire card pieces in his body. He finally knew that he was on the right track.
Looking at the time, Lin Huang realized that it was already late at night. His stomach was growling. He had only eaten breakfast at seven in the morning. It had been 17 hours, so it was normal for him to feel hungry.
"It's already so late. I'm so hungry … I wonder if there's anything to eat at this time." Lin Huang lowered his head and looked through the transparent bone plate. Most of the lights were off but Lin Huang saw that there was a small area not far away that was still lit. There were people coming and going. It seemed like a night market.
Initially, he thought that if there was nothing to eat, he would simply go downstairs to buy something to fill his stomach. However, now that he had found a night market, he naturally wanted to eat to his heart's content.
After showering for a few minutes, he changed into a new set of clothes and went downstairs.
After leaving the hotel, he went straight to the night market.
Although it was already midnight, the night market was still brightly lit. There were people everywhere.
"It seems that no matter which world it is, there are many foodies who like to come out in the middle of the night to look for food …" Lin Huang could not help but shake his head and laugh when he saw the crowd at the entrance of the night market.
Following the smell, Lin Huang quickly found a barbecue stall.
The stall owner was an old man in his sixties. He was short and fat and his face was glowing. He was not sure if it was because of the charcoal or because he was born this way.
On the barbecue rack, there were a few pieces of meat the size of an adult's palm that were sizzling.
Lin Huang could not help but swallow his saliva when he smelled the aroma.
"Boss, what meat is this? Why is it so fragrant?" A customer next to him could not help but ask.
The rest of the people, including Lin Huang, immediately pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"This is called the Fragrant Pig Meat. It's a new breed that was bred from the cross between the Swine Beast and the Fragrant Dolphin. It's only been in the market for the past two years and it's considered a new ingredient. Therefore, the price is slightly higher because of the high price of the ingredients. Please forgive me … "The boss explained in detail.
The group of people's appetite was aroused by the aroma and they nodded in agreement.
In an A-grade foothold like An Ning City, there were many hunters. Many of those who came out to look for food in the middle of the night were hunters who had been busy the whole day. As long as the food was delicious, they naturally did not care about how much credit points they spent. To them, credit points were just a number.
On the barbecue rack, the aroma of the meat was getting stronger and stronger. The sizzling sound of the grease also stimulated everyone's appetite.
The fat boss picked up a pair of tongs and started to flip the ribs over.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past and a piece of meat on the barbecue rack suddenly disappeared.
Lin Huang saw it clearly. It was a child who stretched out his hand to steal the steak. He thought that the child must have been extremely hungry to steal food, so he did not stop him.
However, a hunter next to him seemed to be annoyed by the child's behavior. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the child's collar.
The child fell and looked warily at the hunter who had pulled his collar just now. However, his hands held the steak tightly and refused to let go, afraid that someone would snatch it away from him.
"Little beggar, stealing in front of so many people, do you think we're all blind?" The hunter stretched out his hand to teach the child a lesson but was stopped by Lin Huang.
"He must be extremely hungry to steal food." Lin Huang shook his head and smiled. "Boss, I'll pay for his steak."
After swiping his credit points to pay, Lin Huang walked to the child and squatted down. "Stealing is not a good thing. Where are your parents? Did they get lost? "
The child did not look like a beggar. Although there were some stains on his clothes and face, they looked like they had been stained not too long ago instead of being stained for a long time.
Hearing Lin Huang's question, he hesitated for a moment but still nodded.
"Alright then, I'll bring you to the entrance of the night market to wait for them after we finish eating. They'll definitely pass by there on their way home. " Lin Huang stretched out his hand and pulled him up. He looked at the slightly dirty steak in his hand. "You don't have to eat the one in your hand. I'll ask the boss to grill another one for you."
