A New Start
A long stillness took over the office room. The commander who was still smiling and Lifeng who was starring him with a solemn look on his face didn't even make a sound. At last Lifeng broke the ice and spoke: " I know you are curious about how did I survive or how I was back to health so soon?"
"Hahaha, It's not like I'm forcing you, It's just I am a bit curious and..."
"It's alright, I really don't mind to tell ya." Lifeng spoked in a lazy tone.
"It's ok If you wanna tell me about it, huh! you will tell me." The commander startled.
"Oh! you want me to keep it secret then." There was no change in Lifeng tone as he spoke.
"No, of course, I want to learn about it, its just I was a little shocked to hear your response. I thought you want to keep your secret hidden." Commander Ben explained.
"Secret hmm! Well is not like I can keep it secret forever. Oh, if you want me to tell you why I was being targeted, or who was the one caused this incident then I don't know about it."
The commander didn't reply and waited for Lifeng to speak again.
"Well you know it's impossible for any Soldier rank to survive that fall even if it was at Senior peak stage, but all the story got different if he has a soul pet." Lifeng smiled.
Commander suddenly stood up and spoke in an aggressive tone:
"What! Its impossible for a soldier tier to have soul-contract with a beast and you want me to believe that you a Beginner peak stage already bounded a beast with the contract."
There was no change in Lifeng expression, and he looked calm, but inwardly he was shocked after hearing the commander.
'System if this is true then why I am able to to do so.' Lifeng asked system in his mind.
[User don't forget you have commander tier level soul]
'I see.'
Both of them stared at each other and then Lifeng sighed.
"Ping," Lifeng spoke.
"what are you sa... huh!" he didn't finish his words before a white light appeared in the room.
Commander Ben shocked again after seeing a small multicolor caterpillar laying next to Lifeng.
Lifeng patted its head.
Caterpiller: piu (*≧▽≦)
"No way it's real." Commander was still in shock.
Wait, let me get this confirmed. This is your soul pet, and you only early staged of soldier tier right." (commander)
"That's right." (Lifeng)
Commander sat on the chair again.
"hahaha, Amazing boy, you are simply amazing. With this everything is cleared."
"I know its rude but can you tell me about your soul beast, I can feel it is not anything normal. Commander picked up a glass full of water to drink.
"I also not know anything special about it, the only thing I can tell you is its a space attribute beast." (Lifeng)
"Puushhhht, cough, cough," Commander coughed out all the water from his mouth after hearing Lifeng.
"Boy, do you want to give me heart-attack today." He felt the shocked that he received today were more than he received in all the life.
'System why is he reacting like that' Lifeng asked system.
[User doesn't know, but the space element is one of the most mysterious element, and there is almost no other than you who have a pet with this mysterious element]. Same mechanical voice of system rang in his mind.
'What but you didn't tell me before.' (Lifeng)
[You didn't ask before] (System)
There was a calm expression on Lifeng face, but on inside he freaked out, ' What if the military sent him to the lab as an experimental rat.'
"You really trust me this much boy, what if I am your enemy," Commander asked in a serious tone.
'What ... What should I do... ok play cool here,' Lifeng mind was really messed up, but outside expression didn't change at all.
"Well If you did something to hurt me, then I guess it's my shortcoming to judge a person's character," Lifeng replied Lazily.
The air felt heavy in the room and the aura or spiritual pressure, which was leaking from Commander, increasing as time was passing on.
Then the whole pressure disappeared.
"Hahaha, you are an interesting person, I like your guts. Commander complimented him.
'Saaafe.' thought Lifeng.
" What's your planning for future." (Commander)
"Sigh, Do you know about my family circumstances." (Lifeng)
"More or less, I read Your profile." (Commander)
"Well I don't have anything to do with family, so I think Firstly have to do something about my security and next I will take the exam for beginner forger.. " (Lifeng)
"Hmmm ' beginner forger' are you ready to take the exam, what I know, its only been three months that pass novice exam for forgers." Commander Ben was staring Lifeng in amazement.
"I think, I will be ok." Lifeng gave a smile.
" If you passed the exam then come look for me, I will give you a helping hand in easing your burden." (Commander)
"Then I give you my thanks in advance." (Lifeng)☻
"Oh yeah, you didn't register your soul pet in records, so you should do it to avoid more trouble." (Commander)
"Trouble?" (Lifeng)
"If a person didn't register his soul pet then his pet was an illegal existence and was not allowed in cities or any populated place where law exit,"
Commander stood up and walked towards shelf at the corner of the room.
He took a football size crystal ball from it and placed it in front of Lifeng.
"I thought it will be hard for you to register, so why not I help you with it."
Said, commander.
"Why are you helping me so much." Lifeng didn't understand why a person who only met him one time helped him so much.
"Hahaha, you can think it as a future investment, because I saw your worth and decided to do so." He replied.
Lifeng: "..."
"So, How to use it." Lifeng looked the crystal ball.
"Dropped a drop of your and your pet blood on it." (commander)
"Ok."
"Ping can you help," Lifeng said as he pierced his finger.
"piu." Caterpiller responded as he understood what Lifeng meant.
Ping walked towards the crystal ball, and a drop of blood appeared on him as he touched it on the ball.
Lifeng also dropped the blood on it.
It shined brightly before returning back to normal.
"Is it done," Lifeng asked.
"Yes, now you and pet are registered as a partner," Commander replied.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the exact time when Lifeng register him and ping on the crystal, far away at the central continent, a very important place for mankind, Two old men were playing chess under a big flat mountain.
If a person watched this mountain, he would be surprised to find out that names were appearing and disappearing from time to time.
This flat mountain was a very important place for mankind because it was linked with crystal balls like the one Lifeng used to register.
It held every record about a soul pet and its owner.
"Old Chen You are sneaky as always." One of the old men spoke.
"Not as you old fox." the old man named Chen spoke.
Just then A named appeared on the mountain, Its was written in golden shining words while black color flames surrounded it.
Both of old men got startled after seeing such a Grand and flashy name.
"It's been years since a grand name appeared on it." Old man Chen spoke.
"But not as grand and majesty as this one." The other one spoke in a daze.
✹☯Lifeng and Ping✹
They both stared at it till it disappeared.
"We have to report." Both spoke at the same moment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lifeng didn't know anything about it, he was walking towards the dorms. 'beginner forger exam will be a piece of cake with this app.' thought Lifeng.
Lifeng was thinking about the 『Artifact forging app』that he received from the special gift of the system.
When he was still in the hospital, he checked the remaining items in his storage
and 『Artifact forging app』was really too eye-catching, so he asked system.
"System what is this app for?" (Lifeng)
[It will help the user to forge any type of artifact you want] (System)
"Then How to use it?"
*Ding*
[Do you want to install the app]
[YES/NO]
"Yes."
[Installing in progress]
[1...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100]
[installing complete]
[Do you want to open the app]
[YES/NO]
"yes."
Then a holographic screen opened in front of Lifeng. There were different text and images on the screen.
There was a hammer, heat management, material list and guide genie option on it.
[With enough material, soul power and spirit you can make any weapon or artifact you want] System explained about App.
