In the early morning, the Meteorite Desert reflected a red glow under the sunlight. It was as if they were in a red ocean.
In the red ocean, six Megalodon Wolves were walking in a line. They looked like six boats that were swimming slowly in the ocean.
Looking closer, there was a person on each of the Megalodon Wolves' back. There were five men and one woman, and they all looked young.
The leader was a man who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He had a strong build and a head full of spirited short hair.
"Brother Du, this is just the outskirts of the Meteorite Desert. There's no need to be so cautious. Why are the Megalodon Wolves running so slowly? We set off from the entrance of the desert at five o 'clock. It's been more than three hours now, and we've only gone less than 200 kilometers deep … "A skinny young man who looked to be in his early twenties chased the Megalodon Wolf to the leading man and shouted at him.
"What do you know?" Du Feng immediately turned around and scolded him, "What do you think the Meteorite Desert is? This is a moderate danger zone, not an ordinary wild zone! "
"When I was still a silver-level, I followed a gold-level team into this place. I saw a team of 20 gold-level rank-3 members being swallowed by a Transcendent monster. That scene is still deeply imprinted in my mind, and it's hard to erase it. "
"You kids think you're invincible when you've just leveled up to gold-level rank-1. I brought all of you to the Meteorite Desert to let you know that there are many monsters in this world that are beyond your imagination. There's a reason why the danger zone is called a danger zone. This is not a place for kids to play … "
"Brother Du, over there …" The skinny young man suddenly pointed in a direction not far away.
The rest of the young men looked in that direction in confusion.
"What's over there? Don't interrupt when the leader is talking!" Du Feng immediately scolded them.
"That looks like a Gun Mechanic Master's gaming cabin, right?" The only female member of the team whispered to another young man beside her.
"That's right, it's a gaming pod. It looks like an outdoor deluxe version, "the young man next to her replied softly.
Seeing the rest of the team whispering to each other, Du Feng finally looked in the direction they were looking at. He was stunned.
What the hell? Playing as a Gun Master in the Meteorite Desert? Was this person here to be funny?!
Lin Huang woke up at eight in the morning. After washing up, he immediately activated the game capsule.
But he didn't immediately enter the game cabin. Instead, he ate breakfast.
He did not expect that a Hunter Squad would pass by on the second day after he entered the Meteorite Desert.
Seeing the six people riding on the Megalodon Wolves not far away, Lin Huang did not pay much attention to them. After taking out the grill, he started to heat up breakfast.
He had only eaten dry rations for lunch and dinner the previous day, so he planned to improve his diet in the morning.
In just a moment, the aroma from the oven wafted out.
"It smells so good!" Several people in the six-man team exclaimed at the same time.
"It smells like cake!"
"It's Luoxi City's specialty — frozen cake. I've eaten it before and I still remember the taste." A young man quickly said, "This kind of cake is quick-frozen after it's made. You can eat it cold or put it in the oven to defrost before eating. No matter which way you eat it, it tastes great. "
"Look at how others are living. Why do we have to eat dry rations?" The only girl in the group said with an aggrieved expression.
"Why don't we … freeload some. The smallest size of this kind of cake is ten inches, he definitely can't finish it alone. We don't need everyone to be full, just treat it as breakfast. "The young man who had eaten the quick-frozen cake before suggested.
"I don't think that's a good idea …" The girl was shy, she blushed when she heard about freeloading.
"There's nothing wrong with it, we can just pay him ten times the credit points. This kind of cake is cheap anyway, it's less than five hundred credit points each, ten times the price would only be five thousand credit points. "One of them suggested.
"What if he only has one cake and doesn't want to sell it?" The girl was still hesitant.
"If he doesn't want to sell it, we can't force him, right? We can only eat dry rations." The skinny young man spread his hands and said.
"Alright then …" The girl finally agreed.
"Hey, do you guys think I don't exist?" Du Feng did not expect the few of them to completely ignore him for the sake of food.
"Brother Du …" The few of them just remembered that the leader of the team had not expressed his opinion.
"Let me tell you guys, when you're outside, you have to be alert at all times. That guy over there, he's weird no matter how I look at him. He's only a silver-level rank-3 but he dares to eat his cake in such a moderate danger zone. He's even playing games as if he's on vacation. He doesn't have any sense of danger at all. There must be something wrong with him … "
While Du Feng was speaking, Lin Huang had already cut a piece of cake and whistled. "That's right.
The Magic Poisontail Scorpion came out from the sand and Lin Huang placed the remaining piece of cake in front of it.
Taking out a chair from his storage space, Lin Huang slowly ate the cake and drank his drink. He really looked like he was on vacation.
"I thought it was just a small sand dune, it's a scorpion! If it doesn't come out on its own, it'll be hard to notice it. "One of them exclaimed.
"A gold-level rank-2 Magic Poisontail Scorpion, he's an Imperial Censor …" Du Feng was afraid.
An Imperial Censor could summon monsters that were of a higher rank. Although the young man was a silver-level rank-3, he could only control gold-level rank-3 monsters. Moreover, he might be able to summon more than one monster. Du Feng could not help but be afraid. Du Feng finally understood why he dared to treat the desert as a vacation.
"It's such a waste to feed such a good cake to the scorpion!" The girl next to him was still staring at the cake in Lin Huang's hand.
"Do you guys really want to eat it?" Du Feng frowned and asked the rest of them.
They immediately nodded.
"Alright, you guys wait here. I'll go and ask." Du Feng decided to compromise.
He rode on the Megalodon Wolf and headed towards where Lin Huang was. The rest of them stopped and waited where they were.
Lin Huang sat on the chair and was surprised when he saw the person approaching.
The Magic Poisontail Scorpion raised its tail as it saw the person approaching. It was ready to attack.
"Come back, he means no harm." Lin Huang saw that the person was alone and knew that he meant no harm. He then asked the Magic Poisontail Scorpion to come back.
Du Feng got off the Megalodon Wolf and walked towards Lin Huang slowly.
"What's the matter?" Lin Huang did not know what the person's purpose was.
"That … Brother, do you still have more of the cake that you just ate?" Du Feng blushed and asked.
"Oh, I do. Didn't you guys have breakfast?" Lin Huang just realized that the group of people must have smelled the cake. He immediately nodded with a smile.
"Actually, we brought some food with us. However, the few of them smelled the cake and got greedy. So … "Du Feng told the truth.
"It's okay. I brought a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have wasted it to feed the scorpion." Lin Huang nodded and took out two cakes. "There are six of you. Two should be enough to fill your stomach."
"One is enough," Du Feng quickly said.
"There are two ways to eat this kind of cake. One is to defrost it and the other is to eat it directly. You guys should try one so that you won't have any regrets, "Lin Huang explained with a smile.
Du Feng could not refuse anymore.
After putting one cake into the oven, Lin Huang took out a table and put the undefrosted cake on it.
He then used the cake knife to cut the undefrosted cake into six equal pieces. His knife skills were as smooth as flowing water.
Du Feng was also an expert with a knife. His eyes lit up when he saw Lin Huang's skill.
"Brother, are you a knife practitioner?" Du Feng quickly asked.
"Yes, I'm a knife practitioner." Lin Huang smiled and nodded. In fact, when Du Feng got off the Megalodon Wolf, Lin Huang already knew that he was a knife practitioner as well.
"So you're not an Imperial Censor? That scorpion wasn't a summoned beast? "Du Feng asked in confusion.
"I'm a knife practitioner as well as an Imperial Censor," Lin Huang explained with a smile.
"Oh, I forgot that many powerful Imperial Censors have other professions too." Du Feng could not wrap his head around it just now.
On the other side of the oven, the sound of the defrosting was heard. Lin Huang immediately took out the defrosted cake and put it on the table. He then cut the cake into six equal pieces.
"You can take it away or you can ask them to come over." Lin Huang could tell that Du Feng came alone because he was afraid of him.
"I'll ask them to come over." Du Feng hesitated for a while and made the decision. As a knife practitioner as well, he could sense that Lin Huang did not mean any harm.
He turned around and waved at the others.
They immediately rode on the Megalodon Wolf and rushed over.
Lin Huang took out a few chairs and placed them on the table. He then returned to his chair and continued to drink.
As soon as the young men arrived, the area around the tent became lively.
"Brother Du, look at how nice this brother is. I told you that you're overthinking." A young man smiled at Du Feng.
Du Feng stared at him and said, "Eat your cake!"
"Brother Du, did you cut it? The cutting skill is so neat. The six pieces are exactly the same size as if they were measured with a ruler. "The young man immediately flattered him.
"I didn't cut it." Du Feng stared at him again.
The young man immediately shut up when he realized that his flattery had backfired.
The rest of them looked at Lin Huang curiously.
Du Feng did not eat the cake. He moved a chair and sat near Lin Huang. He then started to eat his food.
Lin Huang glanced at the food in his hand and smiled without saying a word.
"Don't misunderstand me. I'm not used to eating sweets since I was young." Du Feng quickly explained.
"Actually, I don't like sweets either. It's okay to eat a piece of cake occasionally but I'll get sick of it if I eat too much." Lin Huang nodded to show that he understood. He did not really care if Du Feng did not like sweets or not.
Both of them fell into silence.
After a while, Du Feng could not help but ask, "Why did you play the Gun Master game here? Is it some kind of performance art? "
"Of course not." Lin Huang smiled and shook his head as he explained, "I'm waiting for a monster to appear. I'll be staying here for a while but it's boring to be alone. That's why I'm playing this game."
"Is that so …" Du Feng didn't ask any more details because it would be a private matter if he asked any more.
"What are you guys doing here? Training? " Lin Huang could see that apart from Du Feng who was gold-level rank-3, the rest of them had just leveled up to gold-level rank-1 not long ago.
"You can say that. I brought them to the Meteorite Desert to broaden their horizons." Du Feng nodded.
The two of them casually chatted for a while, and the five youths at the table had already finished their respective portions of cake. There were only two pieces left for Du Feng.
"Leader, we've saved two pieces for you. Come and eat them now!" The female member of the team turned around and shouted at Du Feng.
"You guys know that I don't like sweets. You guys can eat them." Du Feng waved his hand.
The rest of them shook their heads and smiled. They then packed the two pieces of cake in a Fresh-Keeping Bag.
"Oh yeah, we've been chatting for a long time. I still don't know your name." Du Feng stood up as he saw that they had finished their food.
"My name is Ye Xiu." Lin Huang stood up as well.
"Thank you for your hospitality. My name is Du Feng." Du Feng extended his hand.
Lin Huang extended his hand and shook her hand.
After retracting his hand, Du Feng took out a Life Crystal and passed it to Lin Huang. "Take this as a token of appreciation for entertaining us."
"It's alright. It's my treat. The cake is very cheap. I don't even have change for one Life Crystal. "Lin Huang pushed Du Feng's hand away." If there's a chance in the future, please treat me. "
"Alright then. Let's exchange numbers. We'll keep in touch." Du Feng knew that the Hunter did not care about the credit points. He did not want to owe Lin Huang a favor. He would have to find a chance to treat him.
"Sure." Lin Huang did not reject Du Feng's request to add him as a contact.
After adding each other as friends, Du Feng asked a few young men to clean up the mess that they had eaten. Then, he left with his companions.
To Lin Huang, the appearance of Du Feng and his friends was just a small interlude in his journey.
After sending Du Feng and his friends off, Lin Huang entered the Gun Master's gaming cabin and continued practicing his gunfighting skills …
