Chapter 1079 Zong Ze’s Concern

This time, it was not a call but a group video call.

Lin Yuan groggily picked up the call and saw Zon Ze, Gu Lang, Gao Feng, Long Tao, Sun Ningxiang, and Li Xuan’s smiling faces.

Liu Jie had not been able to participate in the previous video call because he had been using the Insect Queen to control the insect-species carcinoma fey.

But now, he was present in the mansion and in the video call. However, he was wearing the Spirit Guards’ standard mask.

Lin Yuan perked up and sat up cross-legged on the bed.

He shook his head to force himself to wake up.

Zong Ze, Gu Lang, Long Tao, Li Xuan, and even Liu Jie were stunned to see Lin Yuan in such a state.

Even after living with Lin Yuan for so long, this was the first time Liu Jie was seeing Lin Yuan in such a groggy and sluggish state.

Lin Yuan currently resembled a cheerful but sleepy boy. He made for a very endearing sight.

To the rest of the world, he had a perfect image. As such, seeing him in such a state made the other people in the group feel closer to him.

During dinner, Liu Jie had noticed that Lin Yuan seemed listless. Liu Jie rarely saw Lin Yuan so completely wrung out of energy, and he had been worried that something had happened to Lin Yuan’s body.

Just when Liu Jie was about to ask how Lin Yuan was, he realized that someone had spoken in unison with him.

Both Liu Jie and Zong Ze had spoken simultaneously. “Lin Yuan, are you feeling unwell?”

Liu Jie and Zong Ze shot each other a look and darted their eyes away.

Lin Yuan had chased the waves of sleep away and was rubbing his eyes as he replied, “I’m fine. I just didn’t sleep well yesterday and was feeling sleepy after dinner.”

Lin Yuan wondered whether Liu Jie had become addicted to wearing a mask.

Liu Jie had even asked his Master to create a mask for him that had 1,000 different mechanisms.

Although this mask seemed no different from the regular Spirit Guards mask, the mechanisms would change and move with Liu Jie’s different facial expressions.

Liu Jie could even eat and drink while wearing the mask.

Hu Quan had been utterly amazed when Liu Jie first brought the mask home.

After carefully studying the mask for a day, Hu Quan sadly admitted that he would not be able to replicate it.

For the first time in his life, Hu Quan was frustrated by his skills as a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman. At the same time, he was motivated to improve his skills again.

Perhaps it was due to this setback that Hu Quan had taken the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with him and sealed himself off to work.

Lin Yuan looked forward to seeing the string of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls that Hu Quan would eventually create.

Gao Feng said, “Brother, don’t burn the midnight oil if you can help it. It’s not good for your body! When we meet tomorrow, I’ll bring you some deep-sea fish brains that come from Platinum fish-species feys. They are very effective in alleviating exhaustion from one’s body.”

Lin Yuan could not help but roll his eyes.

He remembered Gao Feng saying in a previous call that he always pretended to sleep when his family nagged at him to sleep before secretly using his Star Web card to log into Star Web.

Yet, Gao Feng was nagging him to sleep early! This meant that tonight’s call was probably meant for discussing tomorrow’s gathering. Since this group had formed a faction together to venture into the abyssal world, they had become close.

Long Tao already knew that Lin Yuan was Black.

Hence, Lin Yuan did not hold back when he spoke.

Lin Yuan asked, “Gao Feng, you mentioned that you want to find a guild club to participate in the S Tournament. Have you found one?”

Gao Feng pursed his lips and said with annoyance, “Before I became Master Cicada Song’s disciple, I was rejected by many B-level guild clubs. I heard that White Devil Lordess left Extreme Guild Club and went to try my luck there too. However, even that guild club that’s barely B-level anymore was all snobby and demanding.”
