Chapter 421 - Family Business: Part 2

    <h4>Chapter 421: Family Business: Part 2</h4>


    After approving all the needed chores, Lin Sheng gave home a call.


    Satellite signals were still essible in most areas. There were only a few ces where the interference was too great for it to be used.


    So even when all transportation to Henriqcal had been severed, that did not mean it was totally cut off from the rest of the world.


    Nowadays, most of the major cities around the world had taken to establishing fortress cities simr to Henriqcal.


    Theirmunications were reliant on mobile phones while the traffic was guarded by people with special powers.


    The status of powerful wielders of special powers became higher and higher in the city, and they were getting more popr as well as they slowly became the mainstream upation admired by the masses. The bigger cities were better off, but many other smaller ces did not have it easy.


    As many of the townscked defenses, they had to all move to closer to the big cities to rebuild their homes. As the cost and qualifications of living within a big city were extremely prohibitive, not many could afford them.


    That created a circle of small satellite cities around major cities.


    After having his breakfast, Lin Sheng made a long-distance call home while everyone else was praying and meditating.


    Two beepster, the line was connected.


    “Hello, Chenchen?” The voice from the phone belonged to his mother, Gu Wanqiu.


    “It’s me, Mom. How’s everything at hometely? Not having any difficulties I hope?” Lin Sheng still remembered the character that he portrayed; an excellent young man who was studying abroad in Miga, who was hardworking as well as thrifty and got along well with his ssmates and friends.


    The impression he gave to his family was that he had extensive connections and rtionships, not only his work earned him enough money to pay his tuition fees, he had enough to send back home.


    “It’s the usual at home. Your sister is still the same, while your dad had been going to learn some prayers or meditation thing. Wasn’t there an official promotion of the Holy Sanctum? Your dad, too, has gone to have his aptitude checked.”


    “Huh?” Lin Sheng was rather speechless because he never thought that his father would be interested in this. “And what’re the results?”


    While he already knew the answer, he still had to y coy.


    “What else? They said he has a good aptitude and just needed to buy a couple of boxes of Hercules-brand holy water, saying that drinking it will improve his physique, and increase the chances of his holy power awakening.”


    To think that the promotion had gotten to his own father...


    Lin Sheng was the progenitor of the holy power, and whether something could improve one’s aptitude, he knew best.


    So that Hercules-brand holy power wasplete hogwash.


    Forget it. He would just leave him alone for the time being. After this, he’ll destroy this salespany, and then do it in every other simrpany as well. That way his father would not be cheated again.


    He then put the matter to rest and instead he asked what was going on in Xylond.


    The two chatted for a moment before Gu Wanqiu suddenly brought something up.


    “Chenchen, I have something to tell you. You see if it’s convenient for you or not, if it’s not, I’ll decline it.”


    “What is it, Mom? Let’s hear it.” Lin Sheng was curious, as his family very rarely asked him for help.


    On one hand, it was because they had no idea who he really was, secondly, it was because they did not want to disturb his studies here.


    “Well, it’s like this. Mom has an old ssmate that I’m good friends with, and she has a daughter that is studying in Miga. She may being to Henriqcal City in a bit, and if it is convenient for you, help me to look after her, rent a ce for her or something. After all, she’s just a girl alone outside, and with how chaotic things are, it’s very easy to run into trouble.”


    “When is sheing? Don’t worry, it’s a small matter, I can handle it.” Lin Sheng agreed.


    “That’s good then.” Gu Wanqiu was relieved. That was because that old ssmate was a person she had an excellent rtionship with, and also the other party had helped her plenty before.


    In one casual reunion, the other side said that her daughter was studying in Miga as well, and ording to her, she was going to live in Henriqcal City. So the matter was brought up, and her friend pleaded and pleaded, and even gave her gifts, so Gu Wanqiu had a mind to bring the matter up to her son.


    “Rx, Mom. Henriqcal is currently one of the safest ces in Miga. There’s absolutely no problem with thew and order there. Nothing will happen.”


    Lin Sheng then started to describe to his mother what had happened to the monster before, from the time it appeared to the time it was eliminated took less than a minute.


    There were no casualties aside from a few cleaners who had fainted from the shock.


    After chatting for a while more and ensuring that there were no more problems at home and only after Lin Sheng had received the other party’s daughter’s contact details, did he hang up.


    After meditating in the Holy Sanctum for a moment, Lin Sheng felt that ever since he had broken through the rank of a Ptinate, his body too had broken through a new limit, and was starting to strengthen again.


    While the Tidal Gate was closed, there were tiny strands of chaotic souls that seeped out of it. And those chaotic souls was like a cluster of iron sand that constantly ground against Lin Sheng’s already tough body and made it even stronger and more powerful.


    With the continuous tempering by the souls, Lin Sheng’s body was getting stronger, and the capacity of both dark and holy powers had expanded too. They were increasing.


    So, he continued to train his dark powers, and his dark powers amount was already more than sixty thousand.


    That was already the level of an Oppressor-ss.


    There was a huge gulf that an Oppressor-ss Darksider would need to cross, and among which were ordinary Oppressors whose strength was just middling.


    They had just stepped into this level and had not yet mastered the many mysteries and techniques avable, so theirbat prowess was just slightly stronger than a Three-winger.


    As these Oppressor-ss Darksiders obtained various powerful hidden techniques, only then would they be able to start training the powerful hidden arts that they were previously not qualified to learn.


    The gulf was pulled apart at this stage, as this was the level where a Darksider went through explosive growth.


    A truly powerful Oppressor-ss’s dark power amount could even reach a hundred of thousands, or even two hundred thousand!


    It was because of the dark powers at this stage was no longer relied on absorbing the negative power of the soul, but it could also absorb the negative power from the outside world and transform it for the Darksider’s own use.


    After training, Lin Sheng had lunch and chatted with Madin and the others for a bit to get a measure on the situation over at Baine University.


    Only then did he realized that many people from the surrounding towns had rushed over to enter Henriqcal.


    After the establishment of the Holy Defense Line in Henriqcal City, it had attracted many people from the surrounding farms.


    In a situation where the monsters from the cktide could appear at any moment, many ordinary peoplecked the sense of security, and many even suffered from mental illness, with some going insane altogether.


    Yet, at this Holy Defense Line, it was different from the other cities.


    It was said that once they entered that defensive line, everything would be fine.


    Not only was the sun was bright there, but it also was peaceful, and even the soil was clean and the air was sweet, even the toilets were fragrant.


    It was also said that there were powerful warriors patrolling every day, and any evil was dealt with the moment they appeared. It was as safe as it could be.


    That slightly exaggerated rumor made getting a ce in Henriqcal all the more prohibitive.


    Lin Sheng frowned as he gave the order to curb this nonsense, and whoever that was behind it would be captured and dealt with.


    He proimed that the Holy Sanctum was not an organization for selfish gains, rather it was a faith of salvation that had appeared for the sake of all mankind, and to save the world, to protect thest remaining sanctuary for humanity, and it shall not suffer any desecration or vilification by people with ulterior motives. All of the Sanctum’s upper hierarchy members concurred.
