章節 50: Late Night Encounter
--- Chapter 50 ---
Two weeks passed, and all guests arrived at Java Island to attend the Dragon Auction Event. They are amazed by the experience Dragon Nest gives them because Java Island is more like a holiday spot than a gathering place.
Melati Hotel.
Every representative was gathered in a conference room and greeted by Liu Mei like usual. She wore a summer dress and straw hat while introducing someone from the Dragon Nest to them.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to the Dean of Dragon Nest's Academy, Hao Xie." Liu Mei said with a smile on her face.
Beside her was a gentle-looking woman with silky rose hair and warm brown eyes. Hao Xie was in her early thirties. She wore a clean white robe adorned by several flower petals and Dragon Nest's symbol on the chest area.
"Nice to meet all of you here." Hao Xie said while lowering her robe politely. "As Liu Mei has said, My name is Hao Xie, and the Dean of the Dragon Nest's Academy."
"My purpose in gathering all of you here is to offer an interesting idea regarding the new generation. And Dragon Nest's Leader has agreed with this. I want to offer every academy on the Douluo Continent a student exchange program to the Dragon Nest's Academy."
"We'll provide every student with care and enough resources for one year. You can read the documents on the table to know more about Dragon Nest's Academy way of teaching."
Yan Shaozhe picked the document and was surprised when reading the content. Dragon Nest's Academy provides a way to improve students' ability and martial soul regardless of innate talent. Each student "completely." was gifted with resources based on their progress and improvement per semester.
"What's this complimentary 50.000 School Points?" Yan Shaozhe questioned while pointing at the single line on the document.
Hao Xie giggled and replied, "School Points are the currency used within the Dragon Nest's Academy. It allowed the student to buy extra resources they needed for training, with examples like pills or potions."
"Of course, 50.000 School Points won't last forever, so they have to earn more by showing progress in their studies."
Jing Hongchen flipped the document gently and read through everything with a solemn look on his face. He coughed and lifted his hand to catch Hao Xie's attention. "I'm curious about the training grounds Dragon Nest's Academy has. It stated that students could access them to improve their overall strengths."
"Mei." Hao Xie gave the Dragon Nest's Secretary a delightful look. "Show them the gravity domain and elemental area."
Liu Mei nodded naturally and pressed the button on her tablet, showcasing an area with several youngsters meditating. The air seemed to be trembling on the video, which caused some people to frown.
"This is the Gravity Domain. One of the training grounds used to nurture the young generation in the Dragon Nest, and we used the gravitational pressure to refine physical force."
"As for the next one." Liu Mei followed by swiping her finger across the tablet, showing several areas with rich flora and fauna.
"Elemental Areas are places with rich elements within Dragon Nest's territory. They are suitable for spirit masters to cultivate and become closer with their Martial Soul's origin."
Jing Hongchen pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is Dragon Nest's Academy? From these recordings, they aren't part of the Douluo Continent, right?"
"Unfortunately, I can't share that piece of information with you guys." Hao Xie responded by shaking her head lightly. "You can contact your supervisor about this matter and think about it deeply because this was a rare chance. I'll wait for the response until the Dragon Auction Event is over."
"Any question?" She watched over the guest with a polite smile on her face.
A young representative from the Star Luo Empire raised her hand and questioned, "Um, you said the Dragon Nest's Leader agreed with this idea. Can you tell us about this important person?"
"After all, Dragon Nest's Leader had never shown himself/herself in public."
Hao Xie was about to answer, but Liu Mei quickly stopped her by covering her mouth. "Well, That's confidential information as well. However, one thing was sure, Dragon Nest's Leader was a kind and passionate individual." She answered, which left everyone confused.
The meeting was over with unanswered questions, and the representative quit the room with apparent curiosity. Liu Mei sighed because Hao Xie would start fangirling at that very moment. Thank God, she was fast enough to stop her incoming one-hour speech about Huo Yuhao's greatness.
The Dragon Nest's Secretary fixed her glasses and said, "I know you're part of the cult, but control yourself, Xie."
"My bad." Hao Xie replied with a chuckle. "I can't help myself, you know? Young lord's greatness was like God sent to this world. No, he's a Deity that descends to this world."
Liu Mei gently flicked the Dragon Nest Academy's Dean on the forehead and continued, "That wise mind of yours is beyond me."
"Whatever, since the young lord agreed with the idea. There shouldn't be a problem."
...
...
Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun'er arrived at Java Island through the warp gate in the underground palace. They walked out of the circular white portal and "immediately." were greeted by Dragon Nest's guards.
"Welcome, Young leader!"
"Welcome, Mistress."
"How are you?" Huo Yuhao responded while patting one of the guards.
"Everything is alright, young leader. No one has entered this place besides our members so far. All guests actually were placed in the Melati Hotel with some distraction in the two weeks." The guard answered. "As for us, we are eating well."
Huo Yuhao smiled and added, "I see... Good work."
"I'll be seeing you guys again later."
As Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun'er walked through a secret passage to Java City's center, the mother chuckled and grasped her beloved son's hand.
"Hehe~! It's time for our date~!" Huo Yun'er hummed while cheerfully
"Yeah." Huo Yuhao kissed her on the cheek. "We haven't gone outside for a while, so why don't we go to Java Island to take a breather and attend the Auction Event."
They entered a lift and moved up to the ground level, where a few people were busy running around to prepare for the Dragon Auction Event. Huo Yuhao placed White Ogre Mask over his face and pulled Huo Yun'er outside.
"Let's go, Mom." He said gently.
Huo Yun'er nodded lightly, "Mm~!"
Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun'er explored Java Island for the whole evening. It was rare for them to have time to do something like this because they were always busy. And sometimes, they even forget to relax.
"This is refreshing." Huo Yun'er commented while walking beside her son on the sandy beach. The gentle ocean breeze makes her pinkish-blonde hair flutter, flowing brilliantly with dim sunlight.
Huo Yuhao gently caressed Huo Yun'er hair and placed a fox-shaped hairpin to stop the breeze from messing it. He noticed a blush on her face and chuckled because she was adorable.
"Wanna rest somewhere? We haven't eaten anything today." He said while looking around the beach. There aren't many people here because people are busy preparing for the Dragon Auction Event.
"Let's go to the nearest restaurant." Huo Yun'er replied while touching her new hairpin. She likes it a lot because Huo Yuhao gifted it to her.
They went to a restaurant named Sand Castle and sat at the outside table to view Java Island's scenery. Huo Yun'er leaned on the wall and saw her grown son with a proud look. He has become such a good-looking young man in six years.
Huo Yuhao lifted his mask slightly and told the waiter to serve some seafood for them. "Oh, don't forget to bring some bottles of wine for us." He said, to which the waiter responded with a nod.
"Your order will come in a few minutes, young lord." The waiter bowed and walked to the kitchen. He told the chef to serve the best seafood because the Young Lord was visiting their restaurant.
Unknown to Huo Yuhao, his presence caused the kitchen to burn with spirit to create the best food in the world. He closed his eyes and felt someone patting him. "I'm not a child anymore, Mom." A chuckle escaped his mouth.
"You're always my beloved son no matter what, Hao'er." Huo Yun'er returned unaffectedly. "My precious and handsome Hao'er~!"
...
They finished the dinner in a giddy mood and walked out with a satisfied look. Huo Yuhao wanted to pay with contribution points, but the owner refused by saying they owed him more than some dishes and a couple of wine bottles. And the day has become night.
"Hmm?" Huo Yuhao glanced at Huo Yun'er and saw her face had subtle redness. They were drinking a few bottles, but she seemed more intoxicated than him. "Are you okay?"
"I'm okay..." Huo Yun'er mumbled while hugging him from behind.
Huo Yuhao shook his head and replied, "You're drunk. Let's go to the hotel."
Huo Yuhao walked through the alley with Huo Yun'er purring on his back. And someone suddenly crashed into him. He was fine, but the other person fell to the ground.
"Damn. What was that? An iron wall?" Yan Shaozhe brushed his clothes.
"Pfft-!" Sin Lin'er laughed on the side.
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment because he recognized these people. They are representatives from Shrek Academy and were quite famous in the past.
"Uh, here." He offered his left hand to the Shrek Academy's Dean.
Yan Shaozhe lifted his head slowly and saw a young man with a weird-looking white mask. He sighed inside because Dragon Nest has such a bizarre member. And he grabbed the young man's hand and noticed how firm yet powerful it was.
"Thank you." Yan Shaozhe said with a weak smile.
Huo Yuhao pulled the man up and replied, "No, It was my fault for not paying attention on the street. As you can see, I have someone on my back."
"Hoho, it's nice to be young." Yan Shaozhe laughed while staring at Huo Yun'er on Huo Yuhao's back. "What's your name, kid? Mine is Yan Shaozhe."
Huo Yuhao smirked behind his mask and replied, "My name is Yun Long. Nice to meet you."
