Chapter 48: Invitation for a Meal, Chance Reunion With Classmates

Ling Tianci had mixed emotions.

When his son awakened his Arcana, he knew that his son would embark on a completely different life path from him.

However, he never expected his son’s path to be so bright.

He had gotten first place in the trial assessment...

He had gotten an A+ contract in advance...

He had made 5 billion during his first trip to the wilderness...

Now he had even become a Level 4 Arcanist, and he was about to become Pangu’s Assistant General Manager.

Each accomplishment was far greater than this father had ever accomplished!

“Son, you’re all grown up!”

Ling Tianci’s eyes were red. “The proudest thing that I, Ling Tianci have accomplished in my life is to have you as a son. You are my greatest pride!”

“Brother, you’re awesome!”

Ling Xiaotong looked at her brother with adoration, her eyes full of pride.

“Save the pride for a bit later!” Ling Jiu smiled bitterly.

“The second option that the company has offered me is to leave Lantian Base City and join the super training camp!”

“Leave the base city?”

“Join a training camp?”

Ling Tianci and Ling Xiaotong’s expressions suddenly changed, and Ling Xiaotong anxiously asked, “Brother, are you leaving?”

“Son, what the hell is going on?!” Ling Tianci also asked.

“It’s like this!”

Ling Jiu explained the super training camp in detail and finally added, “I don’t want to leave you two either, but the super training camp is a rare opportunity, and it would be a pity if I didn’t go!

“You know, the people who participate in this camp will go up two levels. I am now a Level 4 Arcanist, so a two-level promotion means that I’ll be a Level 6 Arcanist!”

“A Level 6 Arcanist!”

Ling Tianci shuddered. He did not know what a Level 6 Arcanist represented, but he knew one thing: the strongest Arcanist in Lantian Base City was no more than Level 5, and if his son were to become a Level 6 Arcanist...

“Go! Of course, you must go!”

Ling Tianci looked at Ling Jiu. “This opportunity is not to be missed. You never know when the next one will come. It will be an absolute shame if you miss an opportunity as good as the super training camp!”

“Dad...”

Xiaotong was dissatisfied but Ling Tianci gave her a stern look. “The super training camp is related to your brother’s future. Now is not the time for you to throw temper tantrums!”

Xiaotong pouted and stopped talking.

“Dad, you’re supporting me to go?”

“Of course. You have your own pursuits, so do not let me or Xiaotong affect your decision-making. No matter what you decide to do, we will support you unconditionally!” Ling Tianci said earnestly.

Although he did not want his son to leave, he understood that an eagle would always grow up and leave its nest one day as it challenged the vast skies.

The same was true for children. Parents could not allow their children to miss out on the opportunity to grow up independently just because the parents did not want to see them leave.

Furthermore, even he would feel sorry for Ling Jiu if an opportunity like the super training camp was missed.

“Thanks, Dad!”

Ling Jiu thanked him sincerely.

“What’s with the pleasantries!”

Ling Tianci laughed and admonished at the same time before he said, “Although I support your decision, your dad also has some requests. You may only leave after you agree to them!”

“Just say it, Dad!” Ling Jiu said earnestly.

“Firstly, no matter where you go, please take care of yourself. You have to remember that you are the pillar of the family now. You need to make sure that nothing happens to you!”

Ling Tianci’s expression was serious.

“Understood!” Ling Jiu nodded.

“Secondly, before you head off to the HQ, try not to go into the wilderness. Stay at home with us!” Ling Tianci continued.

“Understood!”

...

The night passed without another word.

The next morning, his father and sister left home in succession after breakfast. After cleaning up, Ling Jiu was about to prepare for training when his phone rang, and the caller ID was of an unknown number.

“Hello, who is this...”

“Hello, Mr. Ling, we met yesterday!” There was a hearty laugh from the other side of the phone.

“Ah, it’s you, Sir. Is there anything?” Ling Jiu asked with a smile. Staff Officer Liu Jiang was one of the military district’s heads, and he had met the latter after he defeated the Beast Tide.

“It’s like this Mr. Ling, all of the Direbeasts killed during the Beast Tide belong to the Arcanist. Mr. Ling, you killed many Direbeasts yesterday and also helped to kill the Bloodgorger Bat, so you deserve all of it!”

Liu Jiang smiled and said, “We have prepared the Direbeast carcasses for you, and we can send it over to you now or you can pick it up in person.”

“Ah, I see!”

Ling Jiu suddenly realized it and immediately laughed. “Ah well, it’s okay, I don’t want the Direbeasts from yesterday’s hunt. You can keep them!”

“Take it as a treat for the brothers of the military district. After all, you guys have been defending Lantian Base City all this while. Maintaining the security of the base city is hard work!”

“Mr. Ling, how could we—”

“That’s that!”

“All right then!”

Liu Jiang had to agree. In fact, such a thing was not without precedent. Every time after a Beast Tide, many Arcanists could not be bothered to take away the carcasses of the slain Direbeasts. They would leave the army to deal with them in the name of donation.

“There’s one more thing!”

Liu Jiang continued, “Mr. Ling, since you helped us a great deal yesterday, our Chief Wang would like to invite you to dinner as an expression of our gratitude!”

Ling Jiu smiled bitterly. “That’s really kind of him, but I didn’t do much at all yesterday!”

“Hahaha, Brother Ling, you may think that you didn’t do much, but to the military district and the entire base city, it was a matter of life and death!”

Wang Chao’s bold voice came from the phone. “Brother Ling, don’t refuse. Give me some face and come out for a drink or two, yeah?”

“Since you’ve said so, it’d be bad manners for me to continue to refuse!” Ling Jiu smiled and said. “When and where?”

“Might as well just go with the flow, how about tonight? The place is at Wanhua Plaza. The environment there is good, and the food is also great. What do you think?”

“Okay!”

At six o’clock in the evening, Ling Jiu rode the maglev motorcycle to Wanhua Plaza. Later, he kept the bike in his dimensional pocket as he walked to the building.

“Ol’ Ling, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t be coming to the reunion? Why are you here?”
