BXBX NOVEL 15 Chapter 15
There was nothing else that happened for the rest of the day, so after taking the new pets out of the shadow cultivation realm and storing them in the special cages, Lin Fan closed the store early.
When he got home, he went looking for his parents to ask about Luo Qing\'s dad, but when he entered the living room, he saw his parents looking quite worried over something.
Lin Fan asked, "Did something happen? What are you guys worrying about?"
His parents turned to look at him in a daze before slowly saying, "We\'ve just heard some news about your Uncle Zhang."
Uncle Zhang?
Lin Fan searched through the memories of the original owner of the body before finally finding what he was looking for.
This Uncle Zhang was in his dad\'s group when he was still a seeker, he was one of his dad\'s closest friends.
Lin Fan asked, "What happened to Uncle Zhang?"
His dad said, "Your Uncle Zhang went into a planar crack with his party, but there\'s been no contact since. It\'s been a big case for the local government, there\'s been plenty of parties that have gone missing in this one particular crack."
Lin Fan quickly went through his memories again.
In this world that he had transmigrated into, this Blue Star Planet hadn\'t always been a world of cultivation. It had originally been a normal world like earth, but that changed with the appearance of the planar cracks.
These planar cracks were a method of invasion by the Beast Clan, which relied on creating a tunnel into this world to send soldiers to invade it.
Of course, this attracted the attention of the Human Clan\'s interstellar government, which brought them down to incorporate the Blue Star Planet into their circle.
After the Blue Star Planet was integrated, they were offered various cultivation resources and were given experts to guard the Blue Star Planet as it developed.
Of course, the interstellar government wouldn\'t do something that they didn\'t profit from. By incorporating the Blue Star Planet into their circle, it allowed them to inject new blood into their organization, which came in the form of talent.
As the Blue Star Planet continued to cultivate, there were some individuals who showed talent for cultivation and were brought off world for further training.
They were eager to go since the Blue Star Planet was only a lower tier world, which meant that the limit to their cultivation was in the Legendary Realm.
The Beast Clan wasn\'t willing to give up on this world, so they continued invading with various planar cracks and the interstellar government wasn\'t willing to completely seal off this world, so they just made sure the locals were strong enough to deal with these planar cracks.
These planar cracks formed small worlds which were filled with resources, so human seekers would frequently go in to find their fortunes and possibly ways to increase their own cultivations.
Of course, these planar cracks were still ways of invasion, so they were closely monitored and the government made sure to clear them before they fully formed, allowing the invaders to arrive on their planet.
Now that there was a planar crack that no seekers returned from, the government would definitely send stronger people in to investigate the situation.
Lin Fan knew that since there was no contact, the situation didn\'t seem good for his Uncle Zhang, but he still tried comforting his parents, "I\'m sure that Uncle Zhang is fine. The government will send in experts to investigate soon and I\'m sure they\'ll find him."
His dad just said in a low spirited voice, "I hope so."
Lin Fan saw how worried his new parents were and he fell into thought.
After saying a few words of comfort to them, he went up to his room to make a call.
However, before he could make a call, there was a sudden prompt that came from the system.
"Host, you have activated a special mission."
"Find the Qilin Bone located in planar crack 1314 and retrive it. The position of the bone has been marked on the map."
Planar crack 1314, this seemed familiar...Wait, it was the crack that his Uncle Zhang had gone into!
"System, could it be that you…" Lin Fan said in a touched voice.
"Host, please stop making speculations. This mission only came about because you activated the conditions for unlocking it."
Lin Fan couldn\'t help teasing, "System, there\'s no need to be shy…"
"Shameful behaviour, first warning."
Lin Fan quickly stopped, "Alright, alright, you win, you bashful system."
"Shameful behaviour, second warning."
Lin Fan knew better to push his luck, so he ignored the system.
After dealing with the system, he went back to his call.
It was a good thing that the laws of this world required him to get the phone number and the personal information of his customers, otherwise he really wouldn\'t know how to contact him.
Yang Xin had bragged about being a Silver Ranked seeker that afternoon in the store, so Lin Fan was certain that he would be chosen by the city government to explore planar crack 1314.
It took him two tries before Yang Xin finally picked up the call.
Yang Xin had been hesitant since it was an unknown number, but the moment he heard Lin Fan\'s voice, he was very surprised.
Yang Xin asked, "Brother Lin, is there a problem?"
The only thing that Yang Xin could imagine Lin Fan contacting him for was that there was something wrong with what he had bought this afternoon, but he was surprised to hear what Lin Fan wanted to talk about.
"Do you know about planar crack 1314?" Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Yang Xin was silent for a bit before saying, "Brother Lin, why are you asking about that? That\'s not something that the public should know about."
Lin Fan just continued in his calm voice, "I have an acquaintance who is lost in there and I wanted to see if you could bring me in with you."
Yang Xin immediately began to worry, "Brother Lin, the planar crack is a very dangerous place, it isn\'t a place you can go as you wish. It\'s a place where you might not be able to ever come back from."
Lin Fan just calmly shut him down, "But I\'m stronger than you, I\'ll be fine."
Yang Xin was completely silent since there was no way for him to refute this. Even if he did, the memory of being beaten this morning couldn\'t be erased.
After taking a while to get over this sadness, Yang Xin said, "Well, Brother Lin, my team is one of the teams chosen to go in and investigate and we are allowed to bring in helpers, so I\'m sure that someone of Brother Lin\'s level will definitely be able to help."
After thinking it through, Yang Xin realized that there was no downside to helping Lin Fan.
First, he was doing him a favour and second, with Lin Fan\'s strength, he might be able to save them when they were in danger.
"Good, tell me when you\'re going in."
Now that he had thought it through, Yang Xin excitedly said, "We\'re scheduled to head in tomorrow, so I\'ll come by the store in the morning to pick you up."
Lin Fan just said, "Alright, see you tomorrow. I\'ll owe you one."
That was all Yang Xin needed to hear!
To receive a favour from the disciple of a noble, that was something that all normal people dreamed of!
After hanging up, Lin Fan went online to do some shopping.
Since he was heading into the planar crack tomorrow, he needed to buy some provisions, otherwise he would be in trouble.
It took him an hour going through various suppliers until he was sure that he had found the best equipment, but the most important thing was that it was also the cheapest!
The system had taken away most of the money he had earned, so Lin Fan had no choice but to save where he could.
Once he was done buying everything, Lin Fan sat cross legged on his bed and entered his state of cultivation.
He didn\'t know what he would face, but no matter what, it was better to be as strong as possible when facing them.
