The most fearful thing about adventuring in the wild was encountering perilous situations. The combat-class spirit qi professionals’ feys might damage their roots, something that healing-type spirit qi professionals could not help with. Only a Creation Master could heal them.
Even though only a Class 2 Creation Master could fully heal a fey with damaged roots, a Class 1 Creation Master could only take measures immediately. That could also ease the feys with damaged roots, so not much of their combat power would be weakened due to it. They could continue on their journey until they returned to the city and found a Class 2 Creation Master to heal their feys.
It was not hard for Creation Masters to do wild harvesting, so there was naturally no reason to reject Lin Yuan.
Xin Ying replied with a nod, “In that case, there is no problem at all. Since you’re a Creation Master, you’ll be of great help to the team. I’ll raise your remuneration from 30% to 35%, but before this, I want to verify your healing ability.”
Naturally, Lin Yuan would not refuse Xin Ying’s suggestion, as this was a responsibility toward all her teammates from a certain aspect.
At that moment, Zhang Xiaobai started yelling, “F*ck! Heartless! Xin Ying, you’re not going to test it on me again, right?”
Xin Ying looked at Zhang Xiaobai as though he were a fool and nodded. “Who else would it be besides you?”
Zhang Xiaobai looked around and spat out his tongue as he resigned to his fate.
He was the only defense-type spirit qi professional on the team. Xin Ying and Tan Ran were power offense-type spirit qi professionals, while Lu Pinru was a support-type spirit qi professional. He was still the most suitable one to test Lin Yuan’s healing ability, after all.
Tan Ran, who had not been talking much, suddenly stepped forward and said seriously, “I can also try it. I’ll test the healing ability on behalf of Big Brother Zhang.”
Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiaobai hurriedly walked to Xin Ying’s side and said, “I’ll do it. Your body isn’t strong. Why do you have to try?”
Zhang Xiaobai, who could imagine Xin Ying beating himself up, could not help but gnash his teeth and look at her before saying, “Do it lightly.”
Xin Ying clenched her fist, and a sudden surge of energy rushed to her hand, creating a golden flare on her fist.
Lin Yuan sensed that this energy’s attribute was metal and speculated that she should have a metal-type fey.
Xin Ying had attached the energy of her contracted metal-type fey to herself. However, a contractor using one’s own fey’s ability like this was much weaker than summoning the fey itself to do so.
She looked at her fist and then at Zhang Xiaobai before she went through her backpack on the seat. “Should I hit you with my katar, so you’ll sustain more serious injuries? You can test the healing ability better that way.”
Zhang Xiaobai covered his face and groaned. “What kind of horrible life am I living? Xin Ying, let me tell you, you won’t be able to get married like this.”
While Xin Ying raised her fist and smashed it toward Zhang Xiaobai’s chest, Lin Yuan could clearly feel she had withheld her force.
When her fist smashed on Zhang Xiaobai’s chest, it sent him flying three meters away. He struggled for a while before getting up as he put his hand on his chest with a pale face.
Zhang Xiaobai was about to take a deep breath when Xin Ying said, “I will be able to get married. If I can’t, I’ll look for you. I’ve beaten you, so you’ll have to be responsible for me.”
Zhang Xiaobai was taking a deep breath when he choked and coughed as he put his hand on his chest.
After coughing for a long time, he responded, “I’m coughing so badly. It seems that I have internal bleeding.” Then, he looked at Lin Yuan. “Brother, I’m depending on you. If you can’t heal me, I will have been beaten up in vain.”
As soon as Lin Yuan raised his hand, a beam of serene emerald green luster enveloped Zhang Xiaobai. When this emerald green flare circled Zhang Xiaobai, Lin Yuan stopped his actions and withdrew his hand.
After Zhang Xiaobai felt his body condition, he patted his chest, where he had been hit, and said, “I’m completely healed. Brother, you’re really something. Your healing ability is at Silver.”
Actually, when Xin Ying had made her move earlier, she had particularly controlled her force to the limit of what a Silver healing ability could heal.
Zhang Xiaobai felt his body condition and was sure that Lin Yuan’s casual healing ability was at the level of mid-stage Silver.
He was very pleased with Lin Yuan’s ability. The healing ability of his summoned feys would at least be at pinnacle Silver. When such a powerful healing-type spirit qi professional was adventuring in the wild, he would undoubtedly give the whole team a peace of mind.
After some tests, Lin Yuan was considered a part of the team.
Zhang Xiaobai smacked his lips and said, “We have formed our team. Let’s invite him to a meal so that we can get to know each other. After lunch, we’ll head toward the Endless Forest.”
When he arrived at the eating area, Zhang Xiaobai used his Star Web Card to connect to this restaurant’s private room radio.
After fiddling for a long time, he finally found a channel and said to everyone as though he was offering some treasure, “Guys, listen. This channel is interesting.”
Soon, Lin Yuan heard the contents of the channel Zhang Xiaobai had found.
“On the night of September 4, a jobless Mr. Wang invited his online friend Mr. Zhou to his rented house to have a drink. During that period, Mr. Wang lamented that there were too many rich people and suggested they should go out and earn some money, to which Mr. Zhou agreed. The surveillance cameras on Jianghe Road showed that they set up their breakfast stall at 5:16 a.m. on September 5.”
Zhang Xiaobai laughed.
“At 5:26 a.m., a black van stopped in front of the stall, and a few robust men got off the vehicle. They walked toward Mr. Zhou and ordered four bowls of egg noodles with fried dough fritters.”
Zhang Xiaobai laughed.
“At 5:28 a.m., Mr. Wang pulled out a sharp kitchen knife under the breakfast stall and cut scallions while they were chatting.”
Zhang Xiaobai laughed.
Then, he realized that nobody was laughing, and they were looking at him instead. He could not help but grin and cautiously ask, “Not funny?”
Xin Ying felt that her fists needed Zhang Xiaobai to stop them from itching.
Ever since Lu Pinru had entered the private room, she had asked for a basin of water from the service staff and had always been wiping her closet.
She calmly glanced at Zhang Xiaobai and sighed helplessly. “Zhang Xiaobai, when will you be decent?”
Zhang Xiaobai felt like he had been greatly insulted. “I’ve been superior since a young age, so how do you expect me to be decent?”
Then, he glanced at Tan Ran, who had not spoken much.
Tan Ran looked at Zhang Xiaobai’s encouraging gaze, gnashed his teeth, clapped, and said with a chuckle, “It’s so funny! You’re too awesome, Brother Zhang.”
