BXBX NOVEL Chapter 8 - Lin Yu
With that, he bowed slightly to Qin Xian and respectfully withdrew.
Qin Xian looked at the somewhat shy Su Keqing beside him and immediately understood Jiang Song’s intention. This was a gift prepared for him.
In truth, Qin Xian wasn’t particularly lustful. With his status, what kind of woman couldn’t he find? At a certain level, beauty is the cheapest resource….
However, Qin Xian didn’t refuse. He knew that Su Keqing was a Star Singer, and her profession’s trait, Intimacy Aura, could increase experience gain speed by 10%.
This might not seem important in the early stages. But at higher levels, especially after Level 40, each level requires a massive amount of experience.
This buff that increases experience gain speed becomes incredibly valuable. His subordinates had indeed put some thought into this gift…
Looking at the delicate beauty before him, Qin Xian smiled slightly and accepted the gift.
…
Lin Feng returned home, feeling inexplicably irritable after parting with Su Keqing, unable to calm down.
“How did your job awakening go?” His adoptive father, Lin Yu, had already returned and asked directly.
Lin Yu wore a white vest, looking like an ordinary middle-aged man, unremarkable. In the eyes of outsiders, he was just a butcher—a common meat shop owner.
But Lin Feng knew that his adoptive father was definitely not simple! After being adopted by Lin Yu, he had been continuously trained and taken by his adoptive father to the suburbs outside the city to venture into dungeons alone.
So although Lin Feng was only a Level 1 Non-Specialist, his attribute points were comparable to a Level 5 professional!
Lin Feng had even witnessed a Level 30 dangerous elite monster being killed in an instant by Lin Yu with a single finger, then cooked by Lin Yu for Lin Feng to eat.
Such strength could make someone a city lord. Yet his adoptive father Lin Yu was still willing to be just a butcher.
However, Lin Yu never talked about his past, and Lin Feng never asked because he felt that once his adoptive father was willing to tell him, he would naturally say so. Otherwise, asking would be pointless.
Lin Feng shook his head, still bearing resentment on his face: “I failed the job change.”
“Failed the career change?” Lin Yu looked surprised at his adopted son: “Is it even possible to fail?”
Lin Feng gritted his teeth: “My awakening ceremony was disrupted; a spiritual powered plane descended on Donghai City today!”
Lin Yu’s expression immediately became serious: “What did your school say?”
“The principal made a call, but it was useless. That person seems to have a complicated background! But I will definitely get revenge!”
Hearing that even the principal’s call was ineffective, Lin Yu’s expression grew more cautious. Since His Majesty the Emperor’s disappearance, the Empire’s elites have become increasingly lawless.
But cases of openly violating Imperial laws are still rare, especially on the day of the awakening ceremony. This unusual situation immediately made Lin Yu vigilant because he knew that over the years, the Qin family had been searching for him!
However, Lin Yu’s biggest regret was Lin Feng’s failed job change. Over the years, he had poured countless efforts into cultivating Lin Feng!
As long as Lin Feng could successfully transition, he would absolutely soar to great heights!
“So you’re a Non-Specialist?”
Lin Feng exhaled a long breath, bitterly saying: “An SS-level Non-Specialist…”
“What!? An SS-level Non-Specialist!?” Upon hearing this, Lin Yu’s expression changed dramatically. He stood stunned for a long time before sighing, “Fate, could this be fate….”
“Old man, what are you talking about?” Lin Feng looked at his adoptive father suspiciously, wondering if he was so shocked by his failed career change that he had lost his senses.
Lin Yu came back to himself, giving Lin Feng a deep look before saying, “Come with me.”
Lin Yu led Lin Feng into his bedroom, his expression becoming solemn. He looked at Lin Feng and suddenly asked, “How long have I been your adoptive father?”
“Ten years. You adopted me from the orphanage when I was eight.”
Lin Yu nodded, then fell silent for a while, seeming to make a great decision. “You’ve always been curious about my past, haven’t you? Now that you’ve come of age, it’s time I tell you some things.”
Lin Yu’s aura suddenly changed from an ordinary middle-aged man to one of majesty and solemnity, like a war god!
“I am a former Imperial Major General, a Level 52 Crimson Lotus Knight, and once His Majesty the Emperor’s guard.”
Lin Feng was shocked, his mouth agape. He had never imagined that his adoptive father had such a prestigious background! A former Imperial Major General and once a confidant of the Emperor!?
“Then how did you end up like this, old man?”
Lin Yu said blandly, “You’ve heard of the K77 Catastrophe, right?”
Lin Feng nodded; every citizen of the Empire knew about the K77 Catastrophe, one of the greatest defeats suffered by the Empire’s military at the Void Frontline.
In the K77 area of the Void Frontline, the Empire’s military was attacked by Void creatures. Thirteen legions were completely wiped out, and 22 Level 50 powerhouses perished, crippling the main force of the Empire’s Northern Army.
At that time, the entire nation was shaken, leading to the mass resignation of all commanding officers in the military operations office.
To this day, the Empire holds annual commemorations to honor the heroic souls who sacrificed themselves for humanity….
Lin Yu remained expressionless, but his eyes flashed with a deep-seated hatred.
“What if I told you that the destruction of the thirteen legions in the K77 Catastrophe wasn’t due to the Void creatures or an accident? But was man-made?”
“What!?” Lin Feng was stunned, feeling his scalp tingle: “You mean someone orchestrated the K77 Catastrophe? Who could be so audacious! Aren’t they afraid of exposure?”
“Exposure?” Lin Yu sneered: “They control the Cardinal Council. Who dares investigate them?”
