violent maniac Alan

"Let me introduce you, this is Alan." Lin Yuan laughed it off. "There was a bit of an accident yesterday, you can advance next time."

The fishing rod in Ghost's hand clattered to the ground; he felt like he had missed out on a hundred million.

"So it's the Master's Summoned Beast. I thought it was some wild undead from somewhere." Alan smoothed its hair, its tone extremely gentle, forming a stark contrast to its appearance just moments ago when it was ready to transform into a War Ancient Tree at the drop of a hat.

Seeing the fish in the bucket, Alan's eyes lit up. "Master, you haven't eaten yet, right?"

"I'll go make breakfast for you all."

"Consider it an apology to Ghost."

At this moment, A Li walked over from a distance. He had gone out before dawn and returned after finishing his morning class.

Seeing the broken gate, A Li froze for a moment, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. His hand had already reached behind his back, touching his greatsword.

"A Li, you've come back just in time." Lin Yuan waved at A Li. "There was a bit of a misunderstanding just now, don't be nervous."

"Alan is currently making breakfast, let's go wait in the dining room."

Alan carried the fish into the kitchen. Lin Yuan, A Li, and Ghost went to the dining room and sat down. After waiting less than 10 minutes, Alan walked over carrying a large basin.

"Try the fish I made."

Looking closer, Lin Yuan felt sweat-drop. Four little black fish were swimming around in the basin, flipping over from time to time, looking damn comfortable.

Ghost turned his head, saw the basin on the dining table, and instinctively took out his fishing rod, emitting a "Jie Jie Jie" laugh. With a gentle cast, a little black fish took the bait—it actually took the bait!

"Ga Ga!" Ghost gave a smug laugh at Lin Yuan, as if to say: Look how amazing I am!

Hearing the laughter, Alan's expression changed instantly. It slapped Ghost on the head. "What are you laughing at!"

"Can you play with food!"

"Sit properly."

Ghost touched his head. Good heavens, the bone had actually cracked! How much strength must that have taken!

Ghost instantly cowered, immediately shut his mouth, and sat upright.

Alan turned its head, restoring its gentle appearance. "Master, why aren't you eating?"

"Fish is only delicious when it's fresh."

"Uh..." Lin Yuan was silent for a few seconds. "I don't eat seafood."

Fish is delicious when fresh, but you can't eat it raw.

"Do you usually eat this?" Lin Yuan asked Alan.

"Mm." Alan nodded. "It's only delicious when it's fresh."

"Don't eat it raw from now on." Lin Yuan stood up. "I'll cook you all a dish instead."

"Master can also cook." A look of admiration flashed in Alan's eyes. "So amazing!"

Lin Yuan chuckled. "Just wait."

Five minutes later, Lin Yuan brought up a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Honestly, it looked quite decent.

After the plate was set down, A Li immediately picked up his chopsticks. Lin Yuan wore a satisfied expression; even A Li couldn't resist digging in, so it seemed he had quite a talent for cooking.

A Li moved his chopsticks and picked out several pieces of eggshell of varying sizes from the plate.

After picking out the eggshells, A Li put his chopsticks down very elegantly.

Ghost's mouth opened and closed without making a sound. Lin Yuan reached out and smacked Ghost on the head hard. "Why are you laughing so loudly!"

"Don't you know you shouldn't talk while eating?"

Ghost touched his head, feeling a bit dazed. Was his laughter really that loud just now?

In the end, they didn't manage to eat breakfast at home. A Li had to go to school to be an instructor, Ghost went fishing, and Lin Yuan took Alan to a breakfast shop they often frequented.

Not long after they sat down, Lin Yuan's phone rang. He took it out and saw a broadcast message from the Law Enforcement Team.

[Urgent Notice: Three Tiao Ling Insects have infiltrated Tianfeng City. They must be found and killed within half an hour.]

"Tiao Ling Insect?" An image of an insect about half a meter long, looking similar to a puppy, appeared in Lin Yuan's mind.

"Has the bug nest fortress in Tianfeng City rioted too?"

"To think bugs could break through the fortress's defense line and enter Blue Star."

Lin Yuan picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering to himself. After finishing, Alan thoughtfully took a handkerchief and wiped Lin Yuan's mouth.

As they stood up to leave, Alan frowned. "Disgusting bugs."

Green fluorescence radiated from Alan's arms; it prepared to transform into an Ancient Tree and use Earth Tremor to crush those bugs.

Seeing that it was about to transform into a War Ancient Tree, Lin Yuan immediately reached out and pressed down on Alan. "Don't transform, whatever you do."

"You can't transform inside the city."

If Alan had transformed just now, the surroundings would have immediately turned into ruins, and the hundreds of ordinary people nearby would have been crushed to death.

"There are bugs, I want to crush them." This time, Alan's voice was not as gentle as before.

"Bugs?" Lin Yuan paused. Could it be the Tiao Ling Insects, or just common cockroaches? "Where are they?"

Before Lin Yuan finished speaking, Alan tapped its foot gently. A large crack suddenly opened in the ground thirty meters away, and three earth spikes, twenty centimeters thick and over ten meters long, shot out from underground. Each earth spike had a Tiao Ling Insect impaled on it.

"It really is the Tiao Ling Insects." Lin Yuan said in surprise.

Alan's actions attracted the attention of quite a few people. Lin Yuan had no choice but to take out his ID. "Law Enforcement Team on official business, bystanders stay away."

Hearing that it was the Law Enforcement Team, the people around scattered all at once. Lin Yuan called Tian Ye to inform him that the Tiao Ling Insects had been found.

5 minutes later, Tian Ye drove over with three Professionals. "The message was sent less than 2 minutes ago, and you've already found the Tiao Ling Insects."

"That's efficiency."

"Just lucky enough to run into them." Lin Yuan pointed at the Tiao Ling Insects skewered like candied haws. "Did something go wrong at the bug nest fortress?"

Tian Ye sighed. "You guessed right."

"Yesterday, a collapse occurred underground at the western wall of the bug fortress. The bug race took the opportunity to launch an attack, and many Professionals were killed or injured."

"But fortunately, the Demon Suppression Army relied on sufficient ammunition to forcefully repel the bug race's attack."

"Some bugs that can burrow underground escaped. We've already hunted down over thirty of them, only the last three remained unfound."

While Tian Ye was chatting with Lin Yuan, other members of the Law Enforcement Team arrived at the crack to check if there were any missed bug eggs. When these people saw the state of the dead Tiao Ling Insects, they all showed expressions of surprise.

"All killed in one blow, what a powerful earth spike."

"Isn't it said that Lin Yuan is a Summoner? How can he use earth spikes?"

"Yeah, his two Summoned Beasts, one is a swordsman holding a greatsword, and the other is a Skeleton Mage with a creepy laugh."

"Never heard of one that can use earth spikes."

Others whispered among themselves, while Tian Ye asked directly, "This is..."

"Let me introduce you, this is Alan." Lin Yuan admitted openly.

"An Ancient Tree Elf, my third partner."

Hearing the word 'partner', Alan's eyes narrowed, and it clasped its hands together, looking very happy.
