120: Longming's request

Lin Chuan had no objections. Although Long Ming didn't state his purpose, Lin Chuan could guess quite a bit.

What could a mere Silver Rank Beast Tamer like him have that was worth plotting for?

It was nothing more than his rank fruits.

He didn't think that with a mere shake of his body, various Demon Kings would flock to him.

When someone you've just met is inexplicably kind to you, it's best to clearly understand your value to them; otherwise, you yourself might be their 'value'.

Lin Chuan discovered that the higher the Rank of the Yao Beast, the more obvious the effect of the rank fruit on them.

At lower Ranks, the rank fruit at most served the same purpose as a potion.

After reaching higher Ranks, it often had the effect of breaking through a point and hitting the nail on the head.

This was something countless potions couldn't compare to.

Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Chuan wouldn't take them out.

Currently, among the high-Rank Yao Beasts, only Qin Yan's Ice Crystal Demon Python, White Moon, and Long Ming had tasted them.

As for Elder Kong, he probably just found the wine delicious and it didn't necessarily have any special effect.

Lin Chuan casually picked a few fruits from a tree and barely filled his stomach; he hadn't eaten anything for the past dozen hours.

Not long after, there was movement on the water again.

A huge wave rushed towards the small island, and then a large number of fish were thrown onto the island.

“...”

Lin Chuan looked at the 'fish rain' falling before him, utterly speechless.

“Please, don't be shy.”

Long Ming said in a booming voice.

“Uh... thank you for the hospitality!”

What else could Lin Chuan say?

He called out to Old Hei, and they began to end the lives of these Elite Rank and Commander Rank fish.

To keep them fresh, Long Ming had only stunned them.

Even Commander Rank fish had no ability to resist once on land.

Lin Chuan obviously couldn't eat so many fish. After absorbing the Commander Rank Yao Beasts, Lin Chuan lit a bonfire and began to roast fish.

“Senior, uh... I wonder what you wanted to see me about?”

Old Hei called Long Ming 'Big Brother', and Lin Chuan called him 'Senior', which felt a bit strange to Lin Chuan.

“If you don't mind, you can also call me Big Brother. In my Legacy memories, my Long Ming Clan has no enmity with the Human Race.”

“Okay, Big Brother.”

Lin Chuan naturally didn't mind! A Monarch Rank powerhouse, why wouldn't he embrace such a connection?!

“Haha... Big Brother didn't prepare much, so consider this a meeting gift!”

Long Ming laughed heartily.

Then, two Monarch Rank crystal cores were spewed from Long Ming's mouth, landing in Lin Chuan's hand.

“Thank you, Big Brother.”

Lin Chuan naturally wouldn't be polite; he liked big shots who gave gifts without much preamble.

“I did call you here because I have a request. My Long Ming Clan has a long lifespan, and correspondingly, our advancement cycle is also very long. The rank fruits you traded with me can shorten my advancement time without affecting my Foundation.

Now, a great change is about to begin. My kin in the eastern sea are calling me, and time is pressing. So, I hope you can trade more with me.”

The eastern sea?

Near Azure Dragon City?

What is this 'great change about to begin'?

Lin Chuan was confused, but connecting it to the recent attack and the movements of the Yao Beasts outside the city, it indeed seemed like the calm before a storm.

“Big Brother, are you talking about this?”

Saying that, Lin Chuan took out one green and one red rank fruit.

“That's right. If I eat ten of each, it can shorten my time by one month.”

Ten?

Lin Chuan turned to look at White Moon.

White Moon vanished with a whoosh.

Tsk tsk... As expected of Black Moon, she's too damn cunning... Lin Chuan had given White Moon 1000 of each, fearing it wouldn't be enough.

Yet, she only gave the other party ten, ten!!

Such a hundredfold difference in profit would make even the most ruthless capitalist shed tears.

At this moment, Lin Chuan felt that he was definitely going to befriend this Big Brother!

“Big Brother, how much longer do you need to complete your advancement?”

Lin Chuan asked curiously.

“A maximum of a hundred years.”

Long Ming said in a booming voice, sounding a little proud, somehow?

Perhaps, for the Long Ming Clan, it wasn't considered long.

However, a hundred years in the Secret Realm meant twenty years had passed in the outside world.

By then, everything would be over, no wonder he was anxious.

“Hmm...”

Lin Chuan silently calculated in his mind.

A hundred years would mean twelve thousand of each type of rank fruit.

He had enough green rank fruits, but only a little over three thousand red ones remained, which was far from enough.

“Does this matter trouble you?”

Long Ming asked.

“It's not troubling, but I don't have enough quantity on hand right now. Refining them requires a large number of Yao Beast crystal cores.”

“Only Yao Beast crystal cores?”

Saying that, Long Ming opened his huge mouth and sprayed.

Immediately, a 'crystal core rain' began to fall around Lin Chuan.

Soon, various crystal cores piled up into a small mountain.

Lin Chuan: “...”

“These low-Rank crystal cores are hard to digest if you eat too many. I usually collect them incidentally. See if it's enough.”

Lin Chuan was silent, completely stunned.

“If it's not enough, I'll go hunt some more Commander Rank ones. It's a pity there are too few Monarch Rank ones; I've eaten them all.”

Saying that, without waiting for Lin Chuan's reply, Long Ming dived down again to catch fish.

How could this not be enough? It was more than enough!

With a wave of his hand, the small mountain of crystal cores directly disappeared.

The red rank fruits directly surged to over fifty thousand.

In between, there were also many Commander Rank ones, which were absorbed and converted into Commander Rank [rank fruits].

Including the previously absorbed Commander Rank fish, Lin Chuan's immunity to Commander Rank suppression had increased from the previous 56% to an astonishing 80%.

He could almost ignore it.

If he encountered Commander Rank Yao Beasts again, Old Hei's skills could almost be fully utilized, directly driving them to despair.

The two Monarch Rank crystal cores given by Long Ming were also converted into 8% Monarch Rank [rank fruits], and his Monarch Rank immunity reached 30%... Lin Chuan didn't expect Long Ming to be gone for two and a half days.

He couldn't remove the Restriction on his wristband, otherwise, he would be directly teleported out, and that would be the end of it.

Finally, a familiar sound came from the island's edge again.

Long Ming returned and directly threw Lin Chuan a Monarch Rank crystal core and more than ten Commander Rank ones.

“Big Brother, that's enough, that's enough.”

This was too honest; Lin Chuan felt embarrassed to take any more.

Lin Chuan felt he should learn from Black Moon, who could exploit others without batting an eyelid.

“Good. If it's not enough, I'll go hunt in a more distant place.”

Lin Chuan: ... “Big Brother, when do we start?”

“I'm ready anytime. Call me when you're prepared.”

“No problem.” Lin Chuan thought for a moment and decided he still needed to make a show of preparing, at least to make the other party feel their money was well spent.

“If this succeeds, you will be the closest ally and brother of my Long Ming Clan. I swear by the Heavenly Dao that I will not reveal your secret, nor will I be your enemy!”

Long Ming said firmly in a booming voice.

Vaguely, a flash of lightning and a Dragon roar streaked across the sky.

“Don't worry, Big Brother.”

After speaking, Lin Chuan turned and walked towards the center of the island.

In the last bit of time, he needed to check if there were any usable resources. Long Ming's advancement might cause some changes.

His original plan for grinding monsters might fall through.

However, it didn't matter.

He never expected that meeting Long Ming in the end would be his biggest gain from this College Entrance Examination.

The Commander Rank suppression immunity finally reached 100%, and Monarch Rank reached 35%.

It must be said that keeping White Moon happy and pleased was effective.

Unknowingly, he stumbled upon great fortune.

Unlike that elder from the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, who inexplicably met his end.
