Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 73 - 71: Zheng Yulong’s Secret

By noon, Lu Lin had reported all the necessary information and finally left the ward to have a meal with his parents.

After carefully examining Lu Lin’s arm and shoulder to ensure there were no wounds, Meng Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This assassination attempt by the artist made Meng Yu and Lu Ping realize that Lu Lin was different.

He was no longer the little child running around behind them.

However, they were somewhat worried; he had just awakened his abilities, yet it was already so dangerous. When he goes to alien worlds or even enters the Exotic Battlefield, wouldn’t the dangers be a hundred times scarier than now?

"Son, mom is somewhat regretful now."

"Mom would rather you not awaken, like Da Xiang and Wang Juan, and steadily stay by our side, get married, have children, rather than living such a life filled with battles and crises."

"Son, can this talent of yours be shut off?"

Lu Lin shook his head.

"Mom, don’t worry, this was just an accident."

"It’s impossible for all my future encounters to be as dangerous as yesterday’s."

"Besides, when I go to university, I will first learn and improve, and strive to secure a position as a teacher. Then, I’d just teach students in school, very safe."

"At that time, I might bring you to the alien world, maybe you’ll naturally awaken too."

"No, we’ve had a good life on Saturn. We won’t go to alien worlds nor Blue Star,"

Meng Yu refused.

This decision was reached after a long discussion between the couple.

They had grown up on Saturn, familiar with every blade of grass, neighbors, and the environment here.

Rushing off to Blue Star, they wouldn’t be used to life or residence there.

Also, why would the Tongyuan City Guard House give Lu Lin so many benefits? Surely they will need him in the future.

Though the couple hadn’t seen the wider world, they knew at least this much.

He who takes must repay.

Now that we’ve accepted others’ offerings, in the future, they will present conditions you can’t refuse, forcing you to serve them.

"Alright, if you don’t want to go, then you won’t!"

"However, your son now has money, so let’s pay off the loans, get a bigger house, buy dad a car, and let him take mom traveling in the future."

"The federation is so vast; there are countless beautiful sceneries to visit. If I had enough money, I’d buy you a travel-dedicated starship, so you can fly around and travel yourselves."

"No, no, no, don’t waste money on that. Your dad and I are just ordinary people; we’re content living a regular working life,"

Meng Yu repeatedly refused.

"Son, let’s leave it at that. You’re grown-up now, and should choose your own path for the future."

"But we hope you’ll always remember that here on Saturn, in Bei Qiu, in Green City, in Lishui Bay, your dad and I are always waiting for you."

"Mm."

...

"What? My second brother is in prison?"

"Why? Who arrested him? My second brother knows the Lord of Green City; the director of Green City Detective Office is a good brother of his. Why arrest my second brother?"

In the top floor of Jin Hao Group, after a long night without getting through to Wang Lihe, Wang Liping rushed to Jin Hao Group early in the morning.

However, she received news that her second brother, Wang Lihe, had been arrested.

"No, I am going to the City Guard House to lodge a complaint. How can the federation’s authorities act so lawlessly, disregarding human lives? We won’t comply."

Wang Liping tugged on Zheng Yulong’s arm, took him downstairs.

"Yu Long, let’s go straight to the City Guard House, your class reunion is tomorrow. I’ve specially invited people over, now that your uncle is caught, he must be wronged; we’ve got to get him out quickly."

"Mom, no need to go."

Previously obedient Zheng Yulong stood before the car, but refused to open the door.

"Why?"

"Yu Long, your uncle, he’s your real uncle, isn’t he? This car is a gift he sent you when he heard you got into university, you haven’t forgotten, right?"

"I haven’t forgotten."

Zheng Yulong calmly looked at his mother, his gaze so unfamiliar that Wang Liping hardly recognized her own son.

"This time the situation is major; let’s just inquire at the Detective Department, uncle definitely won’t return."

Wang Liping was stunned.

"But, but, tomorrow is your promotion banquet; your uncle promised me..."

"Never mind, mom, forget about the promotion banquet."

Zheng Yulong pulled Wang Liping into the car and left the Jin Hao Building.

He already had information that nothing else should be added to the matter at this point.

"Leak of intelligence, The God of Black Shark is everlasting."

...

Lu Lin left the hospital after lunch.

His body was completely recovered, and he had provided full information to the Star Investigation Office; staying in hospital any longer would be wasteful.

Zhao Lei and the others also parted ways; there’s plenty left to do on Saturn, they wouldn’t dare waste a minute.

As they left, Xiao Yan assured Lu Lin’s mom he’d attend Lu Lin’s promotion banquet in Green City.

Lu Lin couldn’t help but smile bitterly; this classmate Xiao Yan kept challenging him despite being no match for him.

On the taxi ride home, Lu Lin felt like he had forgotten something.

Upon spotting a crowded lottery station by the roadside, he suddenly recalled.

Damn!

He’d promised Wan Fugang yesterday to go to Green City Guide Association, but ended up unconscious for the entire day and night.

Wan Fugang would surely be furious with him.

"Mom, you go home first, I have some matters to attend to."

"Mm, take care."

Meng Yu didn’t comment further, agreeing to Lu Lin’s departure.

Lu Lin got off and ran all the way to the Star Skill Instructor Subdivision, where Uncle Wan Fugang looked up, about to speak, but froze.

"You! You’re... Lu Lin, right?"

"You’ve really put me in a bind; I called you all day yesterday, but you didn’t show up. Just a word would’ve sufficed; why didn’t you answer my calls?"

"Got me scolded by the president for half an hour."

"Wait here; the president will return soon, explain the situation to him."

"Young man, it’s essential to give others an explanation."

Seeing Lu Lin, Wan Fugang spoke non-stop, and Lu Lin repeatedly apologized, explaining how he wasn’t avoiding attending, and that he was unexpectedly attacked, then fell unconscious for a day and a night, only waking up that day.

Wan Fugang showed disbelief.

What a joke, although you’re a genius instructor, you’ve just graduated high school.

An assassination?

You’re probably suffering from delusions.

Wan Fugang looked unconvinced but said no more, simply telling Lu Lin the president would return soon and he should wait.

Lu Lin considered; although the mishap was unavoidable, he’d inconvenienced others by not showing.

Clearing things up would solve it, and he still hoped to guide star skills to enhance his Star Vein Refinement Degree.

The battle with the artist was won,

but he realized a shortfall.

Lacking strong offensive star skill to deliver a decisive blow.

Earlier star skills inscribed on the eyes were basics learned by newly awakened students; abundant, yet insufficient quality.

If given the chance to acquire higher-level ones, ideally First Level to Third Level, Lu Lin could have another trump card next time.

So he waited.

Hoping the subdivision president was reasonable.
