The sky was already bright when Lin Huang got out of Kelly's dimensional space.
Lin Huang was not sure if the chaos had ended, but at least he did not hear any more fighting noises. It meant that the area was safe.
Lin Huang was frustrated as he looked at his and Hong Zhuang's destroyed house. However, he was relieved when he thought about the three items that he got from the man in the black robe with the Plunder Card.
"So be it. I'm the one who got the better end of the deal."
It was already 5.30 am Lin Huang walked out of the academy after looking at the time.
There was a delicious soup dumpling stall at the east gate of the college. It would usually be crowded at 7 am and all the soup dumplings would be sold out before 8 am In addition to that, it was not open for business during the school holidays. Lin Huang had only eaten there a few times.
The shop was owned by a middle-aged couple. It was said that their son was a student of the Martial Arts Academy. They bought the shop the year their son enrolled in the academy and had been doing it for seven years. Their son became a hunter after he graduated. The couple was not short of money, but they continued to make a living as there were too many students who liked to eat it. They were happy doing it.
The owner and his wife had just arrived when Lin Huang arrived. They were kneading the dough and preparing the minced meat.
The buns in the shop were made in the morning. Since there was a limited number of customers, there was only a limited supply. After selling all the buns past 8 am, the couple would pack up and leave the shop. After that, it was their break time. They actually worked less than three hours a day, but they had to wake up early. It was actually quite easy for them since they were used to waking up early.
Before their son became a hunter, they would cook lunch and dinner at noon and at night to earn money. They would work more than 15 hours a day. However, it was much easier now that they were only cooking breakfast.
Seeing that they were busy, Lin Huang did not disturb them. He walked into the shop and sat down on a chair.
"You're early!" The Lady Boss greeted him warmly. Lin Huang hadn't been here many times, so she didn't know him very well. However, judging from his age, he seemed to be a student of the Martial Arts Academy.
Lin Huang smiled and nodded. He was too lazy to correct the other party's way of addressing him. "Usually, I can't get your soup dumplings. Since I couldn't sleep today, I came over early to take a look. I thought you guys wouldn't open so early."
"We usually leave at around five o 'clock, so it's about 5: 20 when we get here." The Lady Boss chatted with Lin Huang as she busied herself. Her hands were as nimble as ever. "But you're a little early. The boiler has just been turned on, and the water hasn't boiled yet. I think you'll have to wait for at least another twenty minutes."
"Don't worry, I can wait for a while." Lin Huang had nothing to do anyway, so he started reading the news on the Heart Network.
The Heart Network did not mention anything about the monster horde in the White Capital. Clearly, they were afraid that the people would panic if they knew about it. One must know that the White Capital was the No. 1 foothold in Division7. If the White Capital was attacked by a monster horde, it meant that none of the other footholds in Division7 were safe.
"There's no news on the Heart Network … So, what's the Coalition government's explanation?" Just when Lin Huang was puzzled, a title popped up. It was' The White Capital's Thunderous Phenomenon at Midnight '.
Lin Huang clicked on it and roughly read it.
The article made up a story. It said that the explosion at midnight in the White Capital was called the Thunderous Phenomenon. It had happened in a few footholds throughout the hundreds of years. It also said that such a phenomenon usually happened in the wild zones. It was a normal weather phenomenon that would cause strong winds to blow and the ground to shake.
"That's a good story. I would've believed it if I didn't know the truth." Lin Huang did not know whether to laugh or cry after reading the article.
He looked up the term 'Thunderous Phenomenon' on the Heart Network and found out that it was true that the few footholds mentioned in the article had experienced the same thing. However, as he thought about it, he realized that the Union Government had used the same excuse. The actual situation in the other footholds was most probably that the same powerhouse battle had happened.
"People will believe the lie if it's repeated a few times …" Lin Huang smiled helplessly.
However, it was not a bad thing for people to not know about it. Just like the husband and wife who sold buns, their lives were not affected by the incident and they were at peace. Lin Huang knew that the rest must be like them. Although they were kept in the dark, they could enjoy the peace of lying.
Although there was no news about it on the Heart Network, there were many people discussing it on the Hunter Forum. However, most of them were not talking about the Thunderous Phenomenon in the White Capital. Instead, they were talking about the monster horde that happened at the southern border.
Some of the people at the post in Lianshan County described the scene when Lin Huang used the Destruction Card. A white glow shot up into the sky and penetrated the clouds like the sun, radiating a dazzling white glow. Some of them even posted a picture of Lin Huang dressed as a woman. They said that the lady in the white dress appeared at the spot where the white light shot into the sky and she was most probably the one who killed the monster horde.
However, there were two different opinions on whether the lady in the white dress was the one who killed the monster horde.
Some of them thought that the lady in the white dress was the one who killed the monster horde as she was the only one who saw her at the scene. Moreover, she left as soon as she was discovered. If she was the first person who arrived at the scene, there was no need for her to hide from the people who came later.
Some of them thought that the lady in the white dress might have noticed the anomaly in the area when she was on her way to the post in Lianshan, so she happened to check it out. As for why she left the battlefield, it was because the monster horde had ended and there was no need for her to stay. Moreover, it was normal for a lady to leave when she saw so many men looking at her.
On the forum, the two parties had been arguing endlessly over this issue, and the forum had been boiling since three o 'clock in the morning. Moreover, as the hunters from other footholds heard about the monster horde in the White Capital, the problem was getting worse.
"Fortunately, I used the Disguise Card …" Lin Huang was glad that he did not use his real face. Otherwise, his picture would be everywhere.
"Hey, your buns are ready." While he was reading the arguments on the Hunter Forum, the lady boss's voice was heard. She brought a tray of buns to Lin Huang's table.
"Thank you, lady boss." Lin Huang then closed the page on his Emperor's Heart Ring and focused on eating the buns. It was a habit that he had developed for a long time. He did not want to be distracted while eating.
There were 12 buns in the tray, which was just enough for an ordinary person. It was past six when Lin Huang was done eating. There were more customers in the shop. Just when he paid and walked out of the shop, he bumped into two of his students.
"Sir Lin, you're early." The two girls greeted Lin Huang immediately.
"Morning." Lin Huang smiled and nodded. The two girls took the opportunity to ask him questions about Sword Dao, and Lin Huang answered them patiently. "Alright, you'll have to queue up if you don't go in for breakfast."
The two girls then recalled their original intention. After bidding farewell to Lin Huang, they went into the shop and sat down at the last empty table.
Lin Huang then turned around and left.
As his house was destroyed, Lin Huang had nowhere else to go. He went to the library that was open 24 hours a day.
