After Andre went through a lot of hardships in the cultivation plane, he returned from that mysterious place and hurried back home.
"Andre, you are back, why are you here so early today?" Ms. Elizabeth heard the door open and asked from inside the house, her eyes full of concern.
"Mother, the business in the store has been quite quiet recently." Andre responded while walking to the sink to wash his hands obediently, and then sat down at the quaint and elegant dining table, ready to enjoy dinner, but his mind was still elsewhere, secretly thinking about whether to tell his family that he had awakened to become a bard. After all, such things are like the flame hidden behind the paper, which will sooner or later break through the cover and be exposed to everyone.
Not long after, several steaming dishes were brought to Andre by Ms. Elizabeth. Seeing the meat in the food, Andre couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Didn't my sister eat it?" With the help of the star power vortex gathered upstairs, Andre knew that his sister had returned home a long time ago, but now there was still meat in the food left for him, which really surprised him, like a small miracle appeared in an ordinary day.
Seeing that Andre was still thinking about his sister, Ms. Elizabeth smiled with relief, "Your sister has already eaten, this is another one I specially left for you."
Andre suddenly realized and understood the reason in his heart.
"Mother." Andre hesitated for a moment, and was about to muster up the courage to tell the story of his awakening, but the words just came to his mouth.
"Mother." A crisp voice came from the stairs, and Andre's words were instantly stuck in his throat, as if he was pulled back by an invisible hand.
Then, a burst of hurried footsteps came along the stairs. Isabella quickly came to the dining table and saw the food on the table. She asked in surprise: "Mother, didn't I finish all the food? Where did this come from?"
When Andre heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, and he sighed in his heart: He ate it thoroughly, it was really cruel!
Ms. Elizabeth smiled and explained: "I made this separately."
Isabella's mouth flattened slightly when she heard it, as if she was a little dissatisfied, but soon returned to her usual indifferent look. She glanced at Andre casually, with a little curiosity and inquiry in her tone, "Why did you come back so early today? It's still early to close the store, right?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Andre responded unhappily, feeling quite impatient with his sister's slightly provocative question.
"Hmm?" Isabella raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking to herself: This guy actually dared to talk to me like this, could it be that he felt that he had grown wings and was bolder?
She sat down slowly and said casually, "It seems that I haven't exercised for a long time recently." There was a different meaning in her words, as if she was secretly declaring war.
Andre seemed not to notice the "murderous intent" hidden in these words, and asked back with a puzzled look: "Aren't you participating in the competition recently? You haven't exercised enough? Are you hiding behind and cheering, relying on your pet to fight for you?"
As soon as the voice fell, the dining table shook slightly, and the iron spoon in Isabella's hand was slightly bent unconsciously, showing that she was already a little angry.
"Hehe." Isabella smiled slightly, showing her white teeth, and stretched her fingers gently. The originally bent iron spoon unexpectedly returned to straightness inadvertently, as if nothing had happened, but behind that smile was an unspeakable meaning of competition.
"Hehe." Andre also smiled back, and then ate his meal while laughing, not wanting to lose in this verbal confrontation.
Isabella smiled and stared at Andre for a while, then retracted her gaze, stood up and said to Ms. Elizabeth: "Mother, I'm going to take a bath first."
"Well, the water heater should have been heated up." Ms. Elizabeth nodded and said, "You go first, I'll send you a change of clothes later."
"Thank you, mother." Isabella thanked her and turned to walk towards the bathroom.
Watching Isabella's figure gradually disappear, Andre hurriedly finished his meal, thinking that while his trouble-making sister was away, he could implement his plan. After thinking for a moment, he said to Ms. Elizabeth, "Mother, I have some business tonight and need to go out. I may not be back until later." In fact, Andre knew that he would probably not be able to come back tonight, but at this moment he could only say this and leave home first, just as if he had done it first and asked for permission later.
"Something? What is it?" Ms. Elizabeth was stunned when she heard it, her eyes full of worry and confusion.
"It's about the pet store. A customer asked me to go to the store to check it out..." Andre had thought of this excuse in his mind long ago, and it was quite natural and smooth when he said it now.
Seeing that it was a matter of the store, Ms. Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slightly and said: "Then you must pay attention to safety and try to come back as early as possible."
"Okay, mother." Andre responded, and sat down to rest for a while after dinner, so that he would not look so hurried and anxious, and then left home before Isabella came out of the shower, so as not to disrupt his plan.
...
...
Under the shade of the roadside trees on a remote street in Vienna's new city, a black SUV was parked, and the body of the car exuded a mysterious and cold luster under the moonlight. Two figures leaned against the car door, one of whom was smoking leisurely, and the lingering smoke slowly rose in the night sky, as if adding a hazy atmosphere to this quiet night.
"Felix, is the man you mentioned really as powerful as you said? He could easily break your arm. With such strength, he must be on par with the captain, right?" The smoking man asked curiously, his eyes full of inquiry and doubt, trying to learn more about the mysterious man from Felix.
The young man in ripped jeans and a black T-shirt, Felix, shrugged slightly and responded, "I guess it's about the same, but this man is a gifted genius. He is still young and may even become an admired knight in the future!" There was an indescribable feeling in his tone. After all, who can predict the future? Just like the twinkling stars in the night sky, they are bright but full of variables.
"No way, so powerful?" The smoking man heard this and couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise. He became more and more curious about the mysterious man he had never met.
At this moment, Felix glanced at him and said, "Here we are."
The two looked and saw a slender figure walking towards them from the end of the street. He was wearing casual clothes and looked quite relaxed and comfortable under the moonlight. As he walked towards them, the smoking man was observing him carefully without making any noise. He soon found that he was just as Felix said, very young and restrained. He was like a deep lake, mysterious and unpredictable.
"Andre, I've been waiting for a long time." Andre saw the eye-catching black SUV under the shade of the tree and Felix in front of the car from a distance. In addition, there was another strange man beside him. The man had a strong star power. Andre guessed that this man was probably Felix's comrade-in-arms.
"We just arrived not long ago." Felix responded with a smile. Seeing that Andre didn't seem to be carrying any weapons, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. After all, for a bard, the strongest weapon is the pet he has contracted. As for other hot weapons, they are not lacking in their pioneer base, but few people will use them.
"Mr. Andre, this is my comrade, Li Ying." Felix enthusiastically introduced the smoking man next to Andre.
Upon hearing this, Li Ying quickly put away his cigarette butt and greeted Andre with a warm smile: "Mr. Andre, I have heard of your name for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today."
"Andre is also honored to meet you." Andre responded politely, and then went straight to the point and asked: "How is the situation over there? Is it daytime?" There was a trace of anxiety and concern in his eyes. After all, this is related to whether this pioneering trip can be carried out smoothly.
Felix's face became a little more serious, and he sighed helplessly, "It's not here yet."
Andre frowned slightly when he heard this, but this situation was within his expectations. After thinking for a moment, he said firmly, "Then let's go."
"Okay." Felix responded and stepped forward to open the back door for Andre.
"Mr. Andre, I'll just sit in the passenger seat." Andre said, and then he walked around the front of the car and calmly sat in the passenger seat from the other side.
Felix didn't care too much, and then sat in the driver's seat. After Li Ying got in the car, he immediately started the off-road vehicle. The car was like a vigorous black panther, galloping out in the night and rushing towards the destination.
"Mr. Andre, I heard that you run a pet store. I think the pet you contracted must be extraordinary, right?" Li Ying, who was sitting in the back seat, took the initiative to bring up the topic, with a bit of tentative meaning in his words. Although he trusted Felix very much, pioneering was no small matter after all. If he was not careful, his life would be in danger, so he was eager to learn more about Andre's strength.
Andre glanced at Li Ying through the rearview mirror in the car and said in a flat tone: "It's barely okay."
Li Ying smiled and continued: "Mr. Andre, you are too modest. What is your full name?"
"Andre." Felix, who was driving, also knew Andre's full name for the first time at this moment, and hurriedly remembered it silently in his heart. After all, it is always good to know more about the partner who is about to go on an adventure together.
"Mr. Andre, I think you are in your early twenties. At this age, most bards are still practicing hard in the academy. Did you graduate early?" Li Ying became more and more curious. After all, on this continent, most bards are systematically trained in the academy. It is rare to see someone like Andre who seems to be a "wild man".
Andre just laughed and did not respond to Li Ying's question. He thought in his heart that he was just going to carry out a mission, and he didn't want to be questioned and probed about his background.
Felix next to him noticed Andre's displeasure and hurriedly laughed and said, "Mr. Andre, our pioneering base is not close to here. If you feel tired, you can rest for a while."
Andre rolled his eyes at him and thought: If I am tired, how can I accompany you to this pioneering? It's really nonsense.
"Mr. Andre, please tell us about this pioneering work." Andre said, "I have never been there before, and I want to know more about it."
Felix was surprised when he heard this. With Andre's strength, he had never been to the pioneering work before? But since he could notice such a professional problem as the time difference before, it was really puzzling. However, since Andre said so, he could not question it any more, and could only patiently introduce: "The starry sky crack this time is in the No. 38 wasteland outside our Vienna New City. Our team is currently stationed in the pioneering base there."
Andre and Felix rushed towards the No. 38 wasteland. What kind of dangers and opportunities are hidden in the wasteland? Can Andre's pet, which has never been fully revealed, help him escape danger in this dangerous pioneering journey? And can their goal this time - finding the lost pet, really be successfully achieved? Everything is like an unknown journey shrouded in fog, which makes people full of endless imagination and expectations about the subsequent plot.
