Chapter 25: Returning home

Lin Fan returned to the cave and saw that many of the prisoners had divided into groups based on their seeker groups. They had found most of their watches thrown in a pile on the side, so they had taken out most of the supplies they brought in with them.

When Lin Fan came in, there were a few people who had a snuck a greedy look at him, but they quickly went back to what they were doing.

Lin Fan of course noticed them all, but he ignored them since he couldn't take care of them now. That didn't mean he didn't make a mental note for later.

He walked over to where Boss Gao's group was and he saw that his Uncle Zhang was also there, but he was currently digging a hole with a corpse beside it.

"Uncle Zhang, what are you doing?" Lin Fan asked.

Uncle Zhang turned when he heard Lin Fan's voice before turning back to continue digging while saying, "Not everyone was spared for our team, I thought that I could at least give them a proper burial."

Lin Fan looked over at the corpse and it was a young girl who seemed to be around the same age as him. In this world, most students graduated at the age of eighteen and if they didn't have any special backing or were extremely talented, they were mostly thrown into the working world.

This girl was clearly someone who had just graduated from her basic education and was thrown into this dangerous line of business since she had no other choice. But in the middle of it, she had fallen to the plot of someone stronger and more influential than her, causing her death.

Lin Fan couldn't help shaking his head as he looked at the corpse with pity.

After that, Lin Fan took a shovel out of his watch and began helping Uncle Zhang dig.

Uncle Zhang could see him digging, so he worked with him to quickly finish digging the holes.

After they finished the holes, Lin Fan helped Uncle Zhang lift the bodies in before burying them again.

Once they were done, Lin Fan pulled Uncle Zhang to the side to have a secret conversation with him, "Uncle Zhang, you can't tell my parents about me coming here."

Uncle Zhang was surprised by this.

He could clearly tell that Lin Fan was a genius based on how Boss Gao treated him. Boss Gao's team was a rather well known silver team, one that even Uncle Zhang looked up to, but Boss Gao was actually treating Lin Fan this respectfully, it wasn't normal.

For Boss Gao to be this respectful to Lin Fan, it meant that Lin Fan was at least as powerful as him, which meant that Lin Fan was at the top of the Silver Realm!

This was even higher than what his father had been at back in the day!

The old saying really was true, the apple really didn't fall far from the tree.

But now Lin Fan was actually asking him to keep this a secret? Why?

"Your talent isn't something that you should hide, you might even be able to catch the eye of the Union Government with your level of cultivation." Uncle Zhang tried persuading him.

The Union Government was the biggest organization on this planet, being able to work for them was the dream of countless people since the Union Government was also linked to higher worlds. As long as they continued climbing the ranks of the Union Government, they might even have a chance to get off this lowly planet and reach a whole new realm of strength.

But none of that mattered for Lin Fan since he had a little something called the system.

The system could bring him to countless different higher worlds and he wouldn't be restricted like in those various organizations.

"Uncle Zhang, I have my own plans." Lin Fan said in a resolute voice.

Seeing that Lin Fan had made up his mind, Uncle Zhang could only respect it and agree, "Alright, I won't tell your parents about this, but I really think it's a waste of your talent. That's right, who is your master? Also, what are you doing now?"

Lin Fan honestly said, "My master is someone who wishes to keep his identity a secret and I'm running my parents' pet shop right now."

Uncle Zhang was shocked, "You're wasting your talent at the pet shop? Are you worried about your little sister? Are you hiding your talent to make it easier for your parents?"

Lin Fan once again said in a resolute voice, "Uncle Zhang, I really do have my own plans."

Uncle Zhang knew that there was nothing more that he could say to convince Lin Fan, so he just shook his head and gave a sigh, "It really is a waste."

The night quickly passed without any incidents and soon they were on their way out of the planar crack.

It was much harder to transport all prisoners, but it was a good thing that Boss Gao had called the other teams to have them gather with them last night.

Once morning came, all the other teams arrived with their vehicles.

When they heard the real story, they couldn't believe it at first, but once Lin Fan took out the ten Gold Realm beast carcasses, they had no choice but to believe.

They had felt sorry for Ao Jian at first seeing his state, but after learning of his betrayal to humanity, there was no pity left for him at all. There were even a few people who wanted to execute him, but Boss Gao stopped them.

With the extra vehicles, they smoothly made their way out of the planar crack and came back to the base outside.

They had stabilized everyone during their time in the planar crack, but there were still those that needed medical attention, like Hou Zi. After his medical exam, the doctors said that he would be fine and would be back to adventuring in no time, so everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Once again, the Seeker Guild couldn't believe it when they heard the story, but they had no choice once they saw the ten Gold Realm beast carcasses. When the story was over, there were many people who looked at Lin Fan like he was a monster.

When they had first arrived at the base camp, Xiao Zi hadn't believed in Lin Fan's strength, but hearing the story now, she even began flirting with him once she learned that he hadn't been taken yet. She even secretly asked Yang Xin for the location of Lin Fan's pet shop because she was already hatching her plan to seduce him.

There were many people that noted down the location of Lin Fan's pet shop. He had trained three pets that could fight multiple Gold Realm beasts, it clearly wasn't a normal pet shop.

The Seeker Union asked Lin Fan if they could buy the Gold Realm beast corpses from him and he agreed to it right away since he still needed the Golden Honey. In total, the Seeker Union bought all the Gold Realm beast corpses for a hundred million points.

Eight of the Gold Realm beast corpses were worth one million points each, one was at a higher level, so it was priced at two million points, and then there was the special mutated beast corpse of Lord Yu.

Since it was mostly intact, Lord Yu's corpse had fetched quite a high price, going for ninety million points and that was only because Lin Fan was too lazy to bargain, so he sold it cheap.

With these hundred million points, Lin Fan easily exchanged for Golden Honey. He also wanted to find something to help his father's leg, but he couldn't find anything with the Gold Realm access that he had.

Since he had all these points, he also exchanged for a few artifacts, a few cultivation techniques, and a few spiritual skills since these were all things that he lacked.

There was no need to mention the artifacts since he could clearly use them directly, but he found that he really was lacking in spiritual skills since most of his attacks were just straight punches after gathering his life energy in his fists.

As for the cultivation techniques, he wanted to compare how this planet's cultivation techniques compared to his God Tier Cultivation Technique.

During this time, the Seeker Guild had reported this matter to the Union Government who had decided to send a Legendary Realm Expert down to close this planar crack, as well as a Platinum Realm Expert to destroy the Ao Family.

As for Ao Jian, he was held in temporary custody by the Seeker Guild until the Union Government came to pick him up.

But none of that mattered to Lin Fan.

Though, there was one important thing that came out of this adventure.

After they arrived at the camp, Boss Gao knew exactly what he should do and confessed to Mei Rou.

She was willing to give her life to die with him, if he didn't step up as a man now, he would never be able to face her.

And just like that, the two of them started going out. Lin Fan was happy for them, but he also didn't forget to curse them as normies secretly.

After everything had been taken care of, Lin Fan made Yang Xin drive him and Uncle Zhang back to his home.
