Mu Tianxing, the peerless guild
Ghost was completely focused on fishing.
The few fishing enthusiasts beside him were extremely surprised.
“Whose Summoned Beast is this Little Skeleton?”
Cui Xianglong put his fishing rod aside, stopped fishing, and watched Ghost with great interest.
“Someone actually still chooses the Summoner profession these days. Commendable courage.”
“Don't mention it, this little guy has great luck; it actually has a Third Rank Bloodline.”
“If his second Summoned Beast is also cultivated to the Third Rank, he might actually be able to pass the First Class Promotion Mission.”
Lin Yandong, as the President of the Professionals Association,
naturally knew who the owner of the Little Skeleton was.
He had only just awakened yesterday, and relying on a Third Rank Shield Guard, he soloed the Nightmare difficulty Golden Tooth Ruins.
This morning, he even instantly killed the Nightmare difficulty Examination Robot,
and obtained the Black Pass.
Before noon, he had already soloed the Nightmare Difficulty Skeleton Graveyard.
Even the donkey on the production team wasn't this efficient.
The Tianfeng City Professional Forum was in chaos because of this young man.
Lin Yandong pointed at the Little Skeleton and said to Cui Xianglong,
“Weren't you just curious who soloed the Nightmare Difficulty Skeleton Graveyard?”
“It's him.”
“Or rather, his owner.”
“What!” Cui Xianglong suddenly stood up, carefully scrutinizing Ghost.
“A Summoner, soloed the Nightmare Difficulty Skeleton Graveyard.”
“Awesome.”
A universally recognized Trash-tier profession,
actually soloed a Level 15 nightmare Dungeon, which ranks among the top three most difficult Dungeons in Tianfeng City.
Other than ‘awesome,’ Cui Xianglong couldn't think of any other adjective.
“President Mu, what are your thoughts?”
Lin Yandong looked at the old man wearing a security uniform.
The old man's name was Mu Tianxing, and he was the President of the Peerless Guild.
He was a Level 60 Paladin, just one step away from advancing to a Third-Turn Judgment Knight.
Although Mu Tianxing currently looked like an old man, his true age was only 36.
He had transformed into this appearance because he was afflicted by the Curse of Senescence.
Three months ago,
in order to help Mu Tianxing complete his Third-Turn mission,
Xia Kingdom assembled 25 powerful Professionals to enter the Level 60 Regional Dungeon: Nightmare difficulty Cursed Temple.
The difficulty of a Nightmare difficulty Regional Dungeon was beyond imagination.
The Final Boss was a Sixth Rank Lord-level Lich.
Lord-level Bosses possess Aura skills,
making them very difficult to deal with.
The Final Boss of the Cursed Temple had an Aura ability of Senescence.
As the battle time increased, the Professionals' bodies would undergo irreversible Senescence.
It was extremely terrifying.
Although the Lich was powerful, Xia Kingdom's Professionals were all top-tier experts,
and they ultimately eliminated the Lich.
However, Mu Tianxing still underestimated the cunning of the Lord Boss.
Just before the Lich died,
it used its Phylactery as a medium,
casting an SS-rank Curse Spell to integrate the Phylactery into Mu Tianxing's body.
The Lich was dead, yet it was equivalent to not being dead.
This resulted in Mu Tianxing's Third-Turn mission only being half-completed.
If Mu Tianxing can wear down the curse power,
his strength will not only recover to its former peak,
but he will also become the first Professional on Blue Star to achieve Third-Turn.
If Mu Tianxing dies first,
then the Lich will use Mu Tianxing's body to resurrect on the spot.
All in all, Mu Tianxing's life safety is crucial to Blue Star.
If the Dark Knight Guild, that group of madmen who only know destruction, were to learn Mu Tianxing's whereabouts,
the entire Tianfeng City would likely face danger.
“President Lin, are you suggesting he join the Peerless Guild?” Mu Tianxing shifted into a more comfortable position.
“Soloing a nightmare Dungeon certainly meets the requirements for joining the Peerless Guild.”
“However, I must meet him personally. I won't accept anyone with poor character.”
Mu Tianxing's words received unanimous approval from the others.
If the equipment is lacking, they can slowly farm for it; if the level is low, they can slowly grind,
but if the character is flawed, there's nothing that can be done.
They couldn't spend time, money, and effort nurturing someone only to end up raising an ungrateful wretch.
Furthermore, being able to join the Peerless Guild meant entering the secret core of Xia Kingdom,
mastering many secrets.
If they were to become a traitor,
the loss would be immense.
Therefore, Mu Tianxing had to meet the owner of the Little Skeleton.
Alas,
What's the old saying?
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
Lin Yuan, rolling up his sleeves, walked towards Ghost.
“I told you to get two fish, and you're here fishing instead.”
“How many have you caught?”
Lin Yuan squatted down and glanced at the box beside Ghost.
It was completely empty.
“Got the air force?”
For some reason, hearing the word 'air force,'
Ghost felt as if a sword had pierced his heart.
air force!
air force!
At this moment, Ghost secretly swore,
that he would never again be called 'air force.'
“It's been an hour, and you haven't caught a single fish. We could have gone to the market and bought fish already.”
“Let's go. Don't disturb these older brothers... these grandpas fishing.”
Ghost reluctantly followed Lin Yuan away.
Once they were far away, Lin Yandong gave Mu Tianxing a meaningful look.
“You've seen him. What do you think?”
Mu Tianxing was speechless. "We barely exchanged two sentences. What am I supposed to figure out?"
Putting down his fishing rod, Mu Tianxing stood up and picked up the water tank at his feet.
“Didn't he want fish? I'll bring him a few.”
Cui Xianglong chuckled, also picking up two fish, and stood up.
Walking up to Lin Yandong, he glanced at the water tank at his feet.
“Yo, President Lin, got the air force.”
Veins bulged on Lin Yandong's forehead. “Get lost.”
Passing by the swan flock, Lin Yandong felt a bit confused.
Why did his little darlings seem to be acting strangely today?
Could it be mating season?
...Returning to the stove, Lin Yuan sighed.
“Ghost is disappointing, he didn't catch any fish, so let's eat the big goose today.”
Sun Xu had already prepared the fire for grilling fish, but hearing there was no fish,
he turned around to look at Lin Yuan, or rather, Ghost behind Lin Yuan.
“An Undead-type Summoned Beast.”
Ghost saw Sun Xu and waved at him, “Jie jie jie jie~”
Well, now Sun Xu knew why Lin Yuan had named him Ghost.
That laughter,
was truly haunting.
The heat was about right, and Sun Xu lifted the lid of the iron pot.
The aroma was overwhelming,
making the gluttonous worms in people's stomachs wriggle wildly.
The fragrant iron pot stewed goose was served.
Lin Yuan picked up a goose leg and took a bite.
The goose meat was firm yet tender, with just the right amount of chewiness,
incredibly delicious.
After chewing the bone,
even the marrow tasted fragrant.
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. “It's superb!”
As the two ate happily, Cui Xianglong walked over, sniffing hard.
“Fragrant, so fragrant,”
Cui Xianglong placed the two fish aside and sat down boldly.
“Do you two young brothers mind if we join you?”
Lin Yuan looked at the three men.
He smiled brightly.
“Look at you, it's just a matter of a few extra pairs of chopsticks.”
“Don't be polite, please sit.”
Mu Tianxing put down the fish.
“I heard you mention grilling fish earlier. I caught quite a few, so I'll give them to you.”
“That's wonderful.” Sun Xu's eyes lit up, and he immediately skewered the fish and started grilling them.
With more people, the big goose on the table quickly ran out.
Sun Xu then brought out roast goose.
“Try my exclusive secret recipe.”
The skin of the roast goose was golden and crispy; biting into it resulted in a “crunch” sound, and the aroma filled the air.
“Ah, excellent. It's better than what many master chefs make.”
Everyone gave a thumbs up.
Lin Yandong ate the most happily. After finishing half a roast goose, he let out a burp.
“Where did you buy this goose? It tastes really good.”
