The next morning, Lin Fan told his parents that he might not be home for a few days because of a business deal he was handling for the store and that he would call them if he was going to be back.

Of course they were worried, but they still respected his privacy since he was an adult now. ​​

When Lin Fan arrived at the store, there were several packages waiting for him at the door. It was all the survival gear that he had ordered last night. Of course they weren't handled that well since he had ordered the cheapest delivery option.

After bringing everything in, Lin Fan headed into the store to get ready.

As Lin Fan was preparing, he suddenly remembered that there was Angela in the store.

When Lin Fan was about to ask Angela to go with him into the planar crack, the system blocked him.

"Host, this is a quest for the host, you may not bring along any help other than your pets."

While this did bring Lin Fan down, it didn't matter to him much since he was now much more confident in his own strength after his fight with Yang Xin yesterday.

So just like that, after he had prepared everything, Lin Fan sat down at the counter to wait for Yang Xin to arrive.

While he was waiting, there was a surprising customer that had arrived.

As Lin Fan was about to doze off, he heard the sound of the bell by the door ring, waking him up to see a familiar figure walking it.

The person who had walked in was Murong Quan, it was the boy who kept following Luo Qing around!

Lin Fan raised one brow in curiosity as he watched Murong Quan timidly walk over to the counter.

This time Murong Quan wasn't as arrogant as before, instead he was very polite when he spoke.

"Um, sir, may I ask if I can have you train my pet?" Murong Quan hesitantly asked.

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this from Murong Quan, but Murong Quan hadn't really done anything to him and he was desperate for customers, so he said with his usual smile, "Of course you can, what kind of pet do you want to train?"

Seeing that Lin Fan didn't straight out reject, Murong Quan let out a long sigh of relief.

Murong Quan had seen what kind of training Lin Fan was capable of, Luo Qing's Song Bird was the best proof of this. If he were to miss this opportunity, he would definitely want to kick himself.

Murong Quan quickly summoned his Flame Hound out, who the moment came out of the pet space and saw that it was back in this pet shop again, immediately went to hide behind Murong Quan's leg.

Murong Quan was embarrassed by this and tried to nudge it out, but it was shaking in fear as it clung to his leg.

To say that Lin Fan didn't hold a grudge at all wouldn't be truthful, of course he would be a bit annoyed at Murong Quan for grabbing his collar before, so he took a little bit of revenge now.

Instead of bringing the pet into the back himself like normal, he had Angela do it.

Angela normally wasn't in charge of taking care of the animals since she hadn't learned to control her aura yet. Whenever she approached a pet, it would always fall down in submission to her and this time wasn't an exception.

The moment Angela came over and stretched a hand out, the Flame Hound immediately fell to the ground and pretended to play dead, looking like a dead cockroach with all four legs sticking up in the air.

Murong Quan really wished he could find a hole to jump in to hide his embarrassment. He had once thought that his Flame Hound looked very cool, but now it just felt like a dumb puppy to him.

Angela dragged the Flame Hound that was playing dead away.

Lin Fan looked back at Murong Quan who was just awkwardly standing there and he said, "Are you going to pay or not?"

Murong Quan then realized that he was just standing there like an idiot and he quickly came forward to pay.

After paying for the training, Murong Quan tried to get Lin Fan's number like Yang Xin had, but he was kicked out just like Yang Xin.

Once peace came back to the store, Lin Fan went back to preparing himself for his journey.

…

Later that morning, Yang Xin finally arrived at the store in an armoured car.

Based on how thick the armour was on the car, it really didn't seem like it was cheap.

When Yang Xin walked into the store, he found Lin Fan fighting over some food with Angela. Seeing that they didn't stop when he came in, he just awkwardly stood on the side while waiting for them to finish.

In the end, Angela completely stomped Lin Fan since of course she was the Spirit Overlord, but she did show mercy since he was still technically her boss. On a side note, she found that it was much harder to beat Lin Fan compared to the first time they met. She really thought that it was strange, it was definitely the work of the master hiding in this store.

Lin Fan was rubbing his sore head before he finally noticed Yang Xin.

Seeing that Yang Xin was already here, Lin Fan picked up his bag and put the closed sign on the store before heading into Yang Xin's ride.

During his time in the store, Yang Xin hadn't said a single thing, he had just stood there watching them in a daze.

Lin Fan opened the window of the car and called to Yang Xin, "Hey, what are you waiting for?"

It was only then that Yang Xin came back to his senses and got into the driver seat of the car, driving it off to the base outside the planar crack.

When they arrived, Yang Xin led Lin Fan to his team.

Along the way, Yang Xin had explained a few things to Lin Fan. For example, Yang Xin explained the terrain of the planar crack which was reported to be a dense jungle. As well, Yang Xin had told Lin Fan about his team and that Lin Fan would have to register as a temporary seeker to join them in the planar crack.

When Yang Xin's team saw him bring over someone they were unfamiliar with, they knew that it was the helper that Yang Xin had brought for them.

Yang Xin waved at the team and called out, "Boss Gao, I'm here." Then he went on to introduce Lin Fan, "This is Brother Lin, the helper that I told you all about."

Yang Xin had told them that he had found a helper that was even stronger than him, but no matter how they looked at Lin Fan, he seemed like he was nothing more than a kid.

Boss Gao came over and with a smile, he raised his hand out to Lin Fan.

Of course, there was a part of him that didn't believe in Yang Xin, so when Lin Fan gripped his hand to shake, he began exerting pressure on Lin Fan.

But with Lin Fan's new physique, he didn't feel it at all.

Even though Lin Fan didn't feel it, Boss Gao felt like he was squeezing a block of steel, making his hand turn numb.

Boss Gao realized through his tests that Yang Xin wasn't kidding, this kid really was stronger than him, he might even be stronger than Boss Gao himself.

Realizing this, Boss Gao patted Lin Fan on the back and broke out in loud laughter, "Good kid, you really are as strong as Xiao Yang said you are. Come, let's take you to get that temporary license."

While they were walking towards the administration tent, Yang Xin came up beside Lin Fan and whispered, "Don't mind Boss Gao, he's a good guy."

Lin Fan knew that Boss Gao was doing what a good leader should do. He was responsible for their lives, so of course he had to make sure that everyone could do their part.

Yang Xin also said, "Actually, Boss Gao is quite the interesting guy. His real name is Gao Fu Shuai, his parents named him this in hopes he would turn out this way."

Gao Fu Shuai, tall, rich, and handsome. Boss Gao was a short and stumpy man with an ape like face, he was the farthest thing from this as possible.

The only thing that was matching was that he was rich to a certain extent since he was a Silver Realm seeker.

As they were walking along, Lin Fan couldn't stop his lips from twitching a few times as he forced himself to calm down, to avoid breaking out in laughter.

When they arrived at the main administration tent, there were a few people who weren't as friendly waiting there.
