Watching the young man, Chelina nodded slightly, straightened up, and stood by the bed.

"By the way, where are the two of them?"

"They're waiting in the living room for you to wake up and join them for a meal. If you want to sleep in a bit more, I'll go inform them."

To be honest, Lin Guang did feel like staying in bed a little longer. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered something and opened the panel for a look.

[Star Shards: 9]

[Star Shard Progress Bar: 99%].

"Let's leave it here."

In an instant, a sense of anticipation surged from his heart. The young man deftly took off his pajamas, revealing a well-proportioned upper body with faint muscular lines and clear abs, and changed into a shirt under Chelina's unwavering gaze: "I'll add a dish for you guys, just in time, the reward from the education bureau arrived yesterday afternoon and I want to give it a try."

What he was referring to was the reward for handing over the Divine Heart Association's server.

The human experiment data inside was of no interest to Kong Guofeng, but other data—the list of public servants and even officials colluding with the Divine Heart Association—was what he valued. After all, the strongest fortresses always collapse from the inside.

Coincidentally, Lin Guang couldn't think of a new menu and wanted everyone to eat better, so he requested a "Great Xia Pot" from Director Kong, made from the materials of a Tier Five Blue Elite Spirit Beast [Pill Capturing Furnace]—this kind of spirit beast seems to come from a world focused on the Immortal Cultivation System and is quite compatible with various special flames.

Using the furnace body of the Pill Capturing Furnace as the material, and with a forging method specifically aimed at increasing deliciousness, the constructed pot can further enhance the special nature of the flame and add flavor to the food inside the pot.

Ten minutes later.

The four of them sat together enjoying a sumptuous, colorful, aromatic, and tasty breakfast.

Watching the young man's handsome face with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, Lisa and Vishdair's slightly tense faces also relaxed considerably these past few days.

It must be said that this mysterious Great Xia Pot (named by Lin Guang) is indeed more suitable for the Samadhi True Fire than ordinary cookware, and it brought out the effect even better, even elevating the taste of the simplest fried egg.

The long-lost wolfing down returned to the dining table, and everyone ate at a faster pace, soon finishing everything off.

Then, Lin Guang heard a long-forgotten sound.

[You fed your partners, and the Star Shard progress bar increased.]

[Star Shard progress bar 100%, you earned 1 Star Shard.]

At this moment, the semi-transparent crystal floating in front of Lin Guang, surrounded by ten shining star points, appeared.

—Ah damn, why is this system so bad!

After the tutorial phase, it took a month and a half to accumulate one Starlight. In the past, in the overall process flow of Spirit Battle Chronicles on the computer, which often took several years or even more than ten years, it didn't feel like it. But experiencing it in reality felt just like being in prison.

Finally, I can unlock [True Understanding of Needle Dao] and Level Two Hand of Full Mastery!

The wait was almost numb!

Lin Guang swallowed the egg in his mouth, joy spreading across his face.

Suddenly, a slender hand reached over and poked his cheek with fingers adorned with bright red nails.

"So happy, what good thing happened?"

"Hmm."

Instead of being annoyed, Lin Guang leisurely reached out and poked Vishdair's cheek in return.

Soft, unlike her personality at all.

"My ability can be upgraded again."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the silver-haired girl paused slightly, then suddenly grabbed his hand, stared at him with cross-star-like pupils, displaying a somewhat dangerous expression: "Since there's been progress, you should be able to calm down a bit these days, right?"

Lisa and Chelina also looked at him.

Although they didn't speak, it was obvious... they agreed with what the silver-haired girl meant.

"..."

Lin Guang was dumbfounded under the three gazes: "Okay, okay, I'll rest well these days..."

Only then did Vishdair release his hand, snorting lightly in annoyance: "Hmph, if I catch you getting up at night to meditate again, I'll throw away your stupid badge!"

Thanks to the Samadhi True Fire and the mysterious Great Xia Pot, there were no leftovers this morning, and Lin Guang and Chelina cleaned up the kitchen and dining table together, preparing to concentrate and welcome the arrival of the second Level Two core talent according to the original plan.

Just as he walked into his room, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

He took it out and his eyebrows raised slightly.

—It was from Lei Wanting.

[Junior, you've been in the Spirit Alliance for a while now. I happen to have a task on hand, do you want to see if you're interested? The rewards are generous.]

...A task?

Lin Guang couldn't resist making a joke: [Looks like you're showing your true colors, huh, didn't they say there were no compulsory tasks.]

[Sigh, seems like we really did join a den of thieves.]

Though he said that.

It's a lie to say that Lin Guang is not interested in this mysterious organization that can even produce Divine Objects and Inheritances. Not to mention, to win him over, they even offered a redemption right equivalent to a Tier Six Spiritual Material, essentially giving Vishdair's evolution heart for free.

So Lin Guang did develop a bit of interest in the task Lei Wanting mentioned.

What kind of task would make her specifically mention it to him?

As expected, Lei Wanting exclaimed: [Oh, I don't have such great sway to force a highly regarded big genius like you into doing a task.]

[I just mentioned it because the task is related to you, so I thought to let you know and see if you could help.]

Lin Guang raised an eyebrow: [What's the deal, senior?]

Lei Wanting: [Do you know who 'Mu Shunying' is?]

Hmm?

Lin Guang did have an impression.

This slightly gender-neutral name belongs to a man.

He's a frequent guest on TV, and Vishdair often sees him participating in various variety shows while channel surfing. You can also often see advertisements he's endorsing on the tall buildings outside, but Lin Guang doesn't know much about what kind of person he is.

Lin Guang: [I remember he's a very popular idol, right? What about him?]

Lei Wanting: [Want to guess? No prize if you get it right.]

"..."

With nothing urgent to handle, Lin Guang opened his phone and did an online search.

On Blue Star, Spirit Masters are revered, and all entertainment activities are more or less linked to them. Naturally, idols are no exception.

To become an idol in this world, whether or not you have a handsome face and other talents is indeed important, but the most crucial factor is whether your spirit beast looks good and is strong enough.

In short, idols are Spirit Masters who go on stage with their contractual partners and explore the entertainment circle together.

Essentially it's about strength, but a significant part of that strength comes from the aspect of "beauty."

It's not just about appearances but also the synergy with your spirit beast, the splendor of skills, level of control, somewhat similar to the Gorgeous Contest in Pocket Monsters, not entirely superficial, but rather a profession that requires quite a bit of skill.

And Mu Shunying turned out to be one of the top idols in Zhen Sheng City.

He's an artist under Haiyi Film and Television Media Co., Ltd. in Zhen Sheng City, over forty years old, but due to taking the Face Stabilizing Pill, his outward appearance is like someone in their twenties.

In the online photos, this man is exceedingly handsome, nearly on par with Lin Guang as a handsome guy, and the aura he exudes when coordinating with his spirit beast is quite unique. In the photos, there always seems to be a sense of time passing and history imbued.

Along with his early use of the Face Stabilizing Pill, bringing youth with a slightly androgynous appearance's contrast, and those spirit beasts' lavishly stunning looks and performances, it's no wonder that so many people are infatuated.

Lei Wanting, being an impatient sort, quickly sent another message: [You must have searched it, right? I won't waste any more time then.]

[This Mu Shunying is a Four-Star Spirit Master with a Purple Talent, supposedly the lowest in the rank, at position 1024 with the [Power of Beauty], as described, the ability is the more beautiful and elegant the contracted spirit beast is, the greater the enhancement of the spirit beast's power by the talent.]

A Purple Talent going to become an idol, it sounds a bit funny, but in reality, not everyone and not every family can accept the casualty and mortality rate of Combat Spirit Masters, and this talent seems specifically born for idols. Many spirit beasts have beautiful appearances but lack much strength, and this talent just makes up for that shortfall.

[But actually, these are all just covers, sharp as you are, you must have noticed something wrong with him already.]

[Mu Shunying's contracted spirit beasts are too many.]

Lin Guang nodded and sent a "indeed" emoji.
