âIs that what your brain is always thinking about?â
Lu Ming sighed.
âThere is no other option,â Zhang Xiaopang said shyly, âI am young and energetic and full of vigor.â
Lu Ming: âHehe.â
Those few words had nothing to do with you.
âI am talking about abilities.
It is best that it is a Summoner or another related profession who can summon fish.â Lu Ming said.
The Game Card that he wanted to create this time would be more complex. It required some preparatory work. Of course, if it was successful, the benefits would be impressive.
âDo you want to create a new card?â
Zhang Xiaopangâs eyes lit up.
He remembered how sensational it was when Lu Ming created the first card.
âYes,â Lu Ming confirmed.
âCan I join?â
Zhang Xiaopang was excited.
âOf course.â
Lu Ming smiled. âBut the illusion will only take up a small part. You can come over after you completed your advanced studies. If you want to join, hurry and get me the person that I want.â
âNo problem.â
Zhang Xiaopang patted his chest. âI will find you one right now.â
Upon finishing his sentenceâŠ
He hung up the phone immediately. Lu Ming was between laughter and tears. When it came to money, this guy was very efficient.
Three minutes later.
Zhang Xiaopang made a call back.
âBrother Lu, itâs done.â
Zhang Xiaopang was full of confidence.
âHave you found him?â
Lu Ming was shocked.
âWell, itâs the third oldest brother of my friend. He is a professional Summoner who summons fish. I have asked him and he is free right now. Shall we take a look now?â
Zhang Xiaopang took up the position of the assistant naturally.
âOkay,â Lu Ming agreed.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
He could hear faint penning sounds beside him.
Lu Ming turned to see that Xiaobai was working hard at creating the cards. Since when was there a stack of Energy Cards next to her!
Sigh?
Wait a minuteâŠ
Energy Card?
Lu Ming rubbed his head.
These days, he had been studying techniques. He had no time to check on Xiaobaiâs learning progress. However, as far as he knew, Little Lu Ming spent a few months before he learned how to create an Energy Card?!
Furthermore, he gave Xiaobai the task of creating the optimized lines that were of a higher difficulty!
And she had already finished them?!
âWhen did you learn these lines?â
Lu Ming was surprised.
âI learned them on the first day,â Xiaobai replied earnestly. âIt is very simple.â
Fortunately, he did not show off to the little girl that day.
Seriously.
He was no longer proud of himself. He had an elder sister who was formidable and now there was Xiaobai who overtook him naturally. There was no place for him!
Hahahaha.
The damn talent!
âWork hard on learning the lines first,â Lu Ming thought before saying. âAfter you master this, I will teach you new things.â
âOkay.â
Xiaobai nodded.
âI will go out for a moment. You will stay in the shop. I have switched on the surveillance camera. If thereâs anything, remember to call the police.â
Lu Ming told her.
âOkay, Master.â
Xiaobai was very obedient and sensible.
After giving his orders, Lu Ming left the shop.
He met Zhang Xiaopang.
HoweverâŠ
When Lu Ming reached his destination half an hour later, his face turned green when he saw the scene in front of him. He finally knew why the âthird oldest brotherâ had time now!
ThisâŠ
WasâŠ
The so calledâŠ
Professional in summoning fish and related creatures?
âLook!â
The third oldest brother explained enthusiastically.
Shush!
The energy surged in his hands and a fish appeared. He looked serious as he used an iron stick to poke through the fish and hang it on the shelf right in front of them. âThis fish has a high nutritional value. It is flavorful and it takes a short time to grill, making it suitable for barbecues.â
Whoosh!
The energy surged in his hands and another fish appeared.
âAs for this fish, its meat is tender, but it will not be as tasty when grilled or stir-fried. Therefore, it is more suitable for steamingâŠâ
Whoosh!
Another fish appeared.
âThis fishâŠâ
He continued on and on.
He even flipped the fish that was grilling.
Damn, he was someone who dealt with fish!
Was this the Summoner of fish that Zhang Xiaopang was talking about?
Yes. That was right. The third oldest brother of the friend was a boss at the barbecue shop! He would set up his shop to sell barbecued food whenever it was meal time!
âLet me check.â
Zhang Xiaopang was furious as well, he went to check with his friend.
Moments later.
He was back.
The person right in front of him was indeed a Summoner.
There was once when he went outdoors on an adventure and he was hungry. He barbecued the fish that he summoned. An idea came to him and he quit school to join the food industry, creating his brand of barbecued fish.
âWhat can this be used for?â
Zhang Xiaopang was helpless as well.
âWhat do you say?â
Lu Ming sneered.
Can you throw food while in a fight?
It was crazy!
HoweverâŠ
It was just nice that Lu Ming could answer some of his doubts.
âIs the price of the fish related to the energy consumption?â
Lu Ming pointed to the price board.
Grilled small yellow croakerâFifty yuan.
Grilled big snakehead fishâEighty yuan.
Grilled red carpâNinety-eight yuan.
Grilled green carpâNinety-nine yuan.
âOf course.â
The third oldest brother smiled, not forgetting to flip the fish and to sprinkle some cumin. âThe more expensive the fish, the more energy is required to summon it.â
âIs the energy consumption fixed?â
Lu Ming was curious.
âGenerally yes.â
The third oldest brother felt embarrassed. âThere are those who can summon anything irregardless of the energy. But I am not at that level. I am afraid that I canât help you.â
âThank you.â
Lu Ming was thankful.
It was good that he was willing to help him to answer his questions.
It was just that he was left with no other choice for the Game card. In the end, he could only make do with Fish Leap. Although the effect would be weaker, it was still feasible.
âIf youâre grateful, do buy a grilled fish.â
The third oldest brother was shy. âItâs very tasty.â
He was indeed a businessman!
âBrother Lu, my rewardâŠâ
Zhang Xiaopang came up to him unabashedly.
âScram!â
Lu Ming felt angry at the sight of him. âDidnât you promise that you will provide free service last time?â
Last time?
Zhang Xiaopang suddenly remembered what happened at the tent and felt dejected.
Damn it, he had forgotten about that!
âHowever⊠â
Lu Ming thought about it. âCan you do something for me tomorrow? I will give you some money as well as a small gift.â
âSeriously?â
Zhang Xiaopangâs eyes lit up.
âOf course.â
Lu Ming gave him a brief introduction about what he needed to do tomorrow. Zhang Xiaopang agreed to it without hesitation.
âI will go back to study.
I will finish my homework today so that I can make some time tomorrow.â
Zhang Xiaopang felt energetic at the mention of money.
âSure.â
After saying goodbye to him, Lu Ming went back as well.
Oh, by the way he had a grilled fish in his hands.
The third oldest brother was too warm, Lu Ming could not reject him and bought a grilled fish from him. Although it was being summoned, it was quite delicious.
âI will bring it back for Xiaobai to try.â
That was what Lu Ming had in mind.
However, the journey back was quite far. By the time he reached, he had finished the grilled fish.
âWellâŠâ
Lu Ming thought for a moment and felt at ease. âThe child is still growing. Grilled fish is too oily, itâs better not to have too many of them.â
PS: Guess what the second card was?
