Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 62 - 60: Artist

Saturn is huge.

After the federation incorporated Saturn into its territory, for ease of orientation, they named the four largest landmasses on Saturn as East, South, West, and North.

East Forest, West Sand, South Sea, North Hill.

Among them, the East Forest Continent is known for having relatively better environmental and economic conditions.

Many wealthy Saturn residents are willing to purchase property and start families in the East Forest Continent.

In a small city near the seaside of the East Forest Continent, there is a painting studio named Falling Phoenix Pavilion.

The owner of the studio is a young person with a slender build, wearing plain glasses, exuding a scholarly air.

Many residents living around Falling Phoenix Pavilion send their children here to learn painting under the guidance of the owner.

The owner’s surname is Chang, affectionately called Teacher Chang or Mr. Chang by the kids.

However, today, the children who arrived at the studio on time found the main entrance firmly shut.

On the sliding glass door hung a piece of artwork with an artistic flair.

"Family emergency, will return shortly."

At this moment, Chang Feng was sitting in the waiting hall of the bus station with an easel on his back.

He was the person Wang Lihe had contacted—the artist.

A person with charisma is always well-received wherever they go.

In the 20 minutes of waiting for the bus, three girls of appropriate age had already approached him with snacks or drinks, asking where Chang Feng was headed.

Each time, Chang Feng politely replied that he was going out for some inspiration gathering, without a fixed destination.

A simple plain white crewneck T-shirt, paired with Chang Feng’s slightly overgrown hairstyle, exuded an aura of an artist from him.

His destination this time was only Green City!

...

Lu Lin’s expression changed dramatically as he watched the screen his mom was playing.

It was a video of him fighting with someone at night.

It even included the scene where he used an iron spike to cut off four of Zhang Haibo’s fingers.

He was in trouble!

There were many people watching at the barbecue stall, and Lu Lin forgot that people could easily use personal terminals to record videos and upload them online.

Looks like he needs to find a place with no one around for future fights.

To avoid worrying dad and mom.

"Speak."

"Smile."

"Weren’t you quite capable? At night, didn’t you say you were going out to eat?"

"Who is the person in the video?"

Meng Yu’s voice carried a stern tone.

"Tell me, is that you?"

Lu Ping hurriedly chimed in, winking at Lu Lin to quickly apologize to mom.

"Mom, I’m sorry, I won’t let you worry about seeing me fight again next time."

"What?!!!"

Meng Yu sprang up from the sofa.

What kind of words are those? Does that mean you still plan to go out fighting in the future?

Facing mom’s eyes, expression, and actions.

Lu Lin couldn’t retreat.

He could only brace himself.

"Mom."

’Your son is a Star Core Warrior; what’s the big deal about fighting a few bad guys in the future.’

"I still have to enter the exotic battlefield and fight life and death battles."

"Otherwise, mom, why do you think Star Core Warriors hold such a high status? Isn’t it earned through blood and sacrifice?"

"I know you and dad worry about me, I’m your only son."

"But being a Star Core Warrior, not heading to alien planets, not going to the exotic battlefield, can I be at peace?"

"Besides, there’s the five-deployment three-adjustment mandate from the federation, compelling Star Core Warriors down this path."

"Mom, dad."

Lu Lin earnestly looked at his parents.

"I am a Star Core Warrior, and heading to the exotic battlefield is my duty."

"Now, our human living environment is so stable, isn’t it due to human martial artists sacrificing their lives on the battlefield?"

"You remember forty-two years ago, when aliens invaded the Solar System, they slaughtered over a billion people in a short period."

"I know... I know..."

Listening along, Meng Yu began to cry.

"But each year, so many Star Core Warriors awaken, why must it be you?"

"Son, your parents have only one child in their lifetime, what will we do if anything happens to you?"

"Of course, you’ll continue living."

Lu Lin walked over and gently hugged his mom, patting her back as if comforting a child.

"Mom, there’s something else I haven’t told you yet."

Lu Lin asked dad and mom to sit down, explaining to them how he had prepared a house for them on Blue Star, handled their household registration and jobs, and obtained tickets from Saturn to Blue Star.

"How did you get these things?"

"Rewards, of course."

Lu Lin replied nonchalantly, "Mom, don’t you know your son is a genius, the number-one Star Martial Arts University in the federation and the Alien Academy of Iron and Blood practically called me three times a day, inviting me to further my studies."

"Tongyuan’s City Guard, Song Qianjun, frequently sends his secretary to invite me for drinks. Look, this is a photo of me with City Lord Song Qianjun at the Governor’s Mansion."

"And Tongyuan’s City Defense Army officer Zuo Zhenyu; he’s also the father of my good friend Zuo Yiming. Their family is a prominent clan on Blue Star, with three elders in the Seventh Level Golden Body Realm."

"And this person here, ranked eleventh among Blue Star’s Star Skill Instructors, Master Jiang Yueming, is my teacher. Since awakening on June first, I’ve already become an official Star Skill Instructor."

"These are photos with principals from many high schools in Tongyuan. This is Chairman Jiang Ye of the Tongyuan Star Skill Instructor Association; these are pictures of me guiding students with Star Skills at other high schools."

"These only demonstrate my talent and potential that has been recognized by others; what I forgot to mention this morning is my true strength: my talent."

"Mom and Dad, please sit still, wait a moment for me."

Lu Lin walked to the kitchen, taking out a kitchen knife.

Amidst Lu Ping and Meng Yu’s puzzled expressions, Lu Lin picked up the kitchen knife to chop at his own arm.

"No!"

"Son!"

The couple jumped up like mad and hurried to Lu Lin’s side.

"Mom, Dad, I’m fine."

Lu Lin held up his arm, virtually presenting it to their eyes.

"See, see, nothing happened!"

"This is one of the two Star Skills I’ve learned, Stone Skin."

"Skin tougher than stone, our regular kitchen knife nor bullets could harm it."

"Dad, where’s your pistol? Give me a shot."

"Get lost, using up a bullet just to waste it on you? No way!"

Lu Ping promptly refused.

For whatever reason, he would never be willing to waste a bullet from his beloved handgun.

"Alright, alright, just kidding, look how anxious you are."

Lu Lin pushed dad and mom to sit back on the sofa again.

"So, you understand now. Talent, potential, your son sees it more clearly than anyone else. No matter how strong, that’s for the future, it’s useless now."

"So, I developed a life-saving Star Skill, Stone Skin."

"No matter where I go in the future, ensuring my safety is the priority."

"Rest assured, your son is afraid of death too."

Lu Lin laughed.

At this point, dad and mom couldn’t say much either.

After all, Lu Lin, to prove himself, even hacked his arm with a kitchen knife, what else could they do?

Dad nodded at Lu Lin in satisfaction, ready to let him go.

Mom turned away, snorted coldly, "I don’t care, tomorrow you have to fix the wall at home."

"As you command, mom!"

Lu Lin straightened his body with a snap and gave mom a military salute.
