Elf: I, the Lord of Ghosts, lead the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts

Compared to the only requirement of "When China is in trouble, we must fight on the front line of danger without hesitation", Xia Chan was instantly excited by the benefits of enjoying resources and privileges without being too constrained. She wished she could immediately join the Liaoyuan Spark Plan that Zhan Xiongfei mentioned.

"After my observation and assessment, you are indeed qualified to join the Liaoyuan Spark Plan and become a [Spark]." Facing Xia Chan's eager and excited eyes, Zhan Xiongfei said.

"Spark?" Xia Chan was slightly stunned when he heard this familiar yet unfamiliar word.

What does it mean? Decepticons or Autobots...

"Spark is another name for the younger generation of trainers in the Prairie Spark Project." Zhan Xiongfei was unaware of Xia Chan's wild thoughts, and immediately explained when he saw Xia Chan was confused about this.

"I see. Thank you then—"

"Don't thank me yet, I haven't finished speaking yet." Zhan Xiongfei interrupted Xia Chan's thanks and added:

"In my opinion, you are indeed qualified to become a [Spark], but I do not have the authority to allow you to become a [Spark] directly."

"I was blinded by temptation..."

Xia Chan calmed down instantly when she heard what Zhan Xiongfei said.

Now that he thinks about it, he was just in high spirits and completely concerned about some logical issues.

The most prominent point is "Why?"

If there was no falsehood in what Zhan Xiongfei said, then even the younger generation of the prominent families in Kyoto, Magic City, and Ancient Capital would definitely try their best to become the [Spark].

Xia Chan never denied his excellence, but he was just a teenager from a small seaside town, and his greatest achievement so far was just winning a local competition. With his identity and current achievements, how could he become a [Fire Seed] so easily...

But if it had nothing to do with him, why would Zhan Xiongfei go to so much trouble to mention the existence of the Liaoyuan Spark Project to him?

After changing his mind, Xia Chan, who had originally felt a little lost, felt a fire of hope rekindle in his heart.

"But you don't have to be discouraged." At this moment, Zhan Xiongfei, who had been observing Xia Chan's reaction, spoke again:

"Although I don't have the authority to directly set up a [Fire Seed], I do have a recommendation for a [Reserve Fire Seed]."

Xia Chan was shocked when he heard this, and then he couldn't wait to ask: "You mean, you want to recommend me as the [Preparing Fire]?"

Although he didn't know what [Preparatory Spark] was exactly, but as the name suggested, it must be a way to become a [Spark].

"That's right." Zhan Xiongfei nodded and added:

"A [Preparatory Fire Seed] only has the possibility of becoming a [Fire Seed], and cannot enjoy the many conveniences that a [Fire Seed] has. If you want to become a [Fire Seed], you still need to pass a strict assessment."

Xia Chan nodded heavily upon hearing this. Even if Zhan Xiongfei didn't say it, he knew that it would definitely not be an easy task to go from a [preliminary fire] to a real [fire]. He was mentally prepared for this.

At the same time, Xia Chan was not overwhelmed by joy. In his longing for the [Fire Seed], he thought of a key question. Zhan Xiongfei and he had no blood relationship, nor close friends, so why would the other party be willing to give him the only [Reserve Fire Seed] recommendation quota in his hand? Or what was he thinking just now?

After a flash of thought, Xia Chan directly told Zhan Xiongfei about his doubts:

"Uncle Zhan, why did you give me this precious recommendation spot?"

"Because you call me uncle, I feel very close to you." Zhan Xiongfei replied without hesitation.

"Uncle Zhan, I'm a child, but not a fool." Xia Chan smiled helplessly.

"I am optimistic about your potential." This time Zhan Xiongfei said after thinking for a moment.

Then, without waiting for Xia Chan to say anything else, Zhan Xiongfei said, "The investigation on you has ended, but I have something else to do, so I won't send you off. You can go back by yourself."

"By the way, the latest [Preparatory Fire] test will be held soon. I will sign you up. The specific time and location of the test will be notified to you on the Lingjian software. Please pay attention to it."

"Okay. Uncle Zhan, thank you for your recommendation!" Xia Chan heard the other party's words that meant he wanted to see him off, so she didn't stay for long. After expressing her sincere gratitude, she turned around and left.

At the entrance of the villa, Zhan Xiongfei looked at Xia Chan's blurry back in the night, muttering to himself: "The bloodline of the Xia family..."

Xia Chan possesses five senses that are stronger than those of ordinary people, but he had already walked a long way and did not hear Zhan Xiongfei's incomprehensible mumblings.

The area of ​​the Seven Islands Capital is not too large. Although the villa is located in a relatively remote place, Xia Chan successfully got a taxi after walking for more than ten minutes and returned to the hostel room smoothly at nearly midnight.

After a busy day, Xia Chan felt very tired. Returning to his room, he simply washed up and lay down on the bed. As it was already very late, he did not chat with anyone or reply to messages. After buying a boat ticket back to Jincheng the next morning at the ticketing platform, he put down his phone and fell asleep in a few breaths.

"Just because you..."

The next morning, Xia Chan woke up to the familiar sound of the alarm clock. After quickly washing up, he packed up all his belongings and went to the hostel front desk to check out.

The hostel staff were very efficient and it didn't take long for Xia Chan to check out, walk out of the hostel, and take the island's maglev bus to the ferry port.

On the way, Xia Chan used spiritual letters to inform relatives and friends such as Wang Ting, Lin Qing, and Ling Shu of the news that she would return to Jincheng today, and replied to the messages sent by He Wuyin and Yan Qianrong last night.

When Xia Chan arrived at the port, there were only a few minutes left before the ferry arrived. There was no need to wait in the waiting room in such a short time. Xia Chan followed the signs in the port and went directly to the corresponding port to wait for the ferry to arrive.

Woohoo——

A few minutes later, a whistle sounded from not far away, and the ferry that Xia Chan was going to take this time arrived at the branch port on time.

With the experience of boarding the ship several times before, Xia Chan queued up to board the ship with ease and came to the standard room corresponding to the ticket.

"Please take your belongings with you..."

The journey was smooth and peaceful. Xia Chan took a nap and browsed Lingbo for a while before hearing the reminder sound that the ferry was about to arrive at Jincheng Port.

“What a comfortable sea breeze~”

Stepping off the ferry, the summer cicada stretched its body, enjoying the sea breeze, breathing in the familiar smell, and all the fatigue brought by the journey dissipated.

This is what it feels like to be home.

Following the dense flow of people, Xia Chan quickly walked out of the port.

Outside the port, Xia Chan did not rush to take a bus home, but called Wang Ting first. It was a great joy that he had obtained the qualification of [Preparatory Fire], and he must share it with Wang Ting.

At the same time, he also wanted to hear the other person's thoughts and opinions. No matter how mature he was mentally, he was still just a teenager. He did not have much experience and knowledge, so it was inevitable that he would miss something when thinking about a problem. At this time, he really needed a reliable elder to provide advice.

But for Xia Chan, Wang Ting is a very reliable elder.

"Beep...Xiao Chan, are you getting off the boat?" Shortly after the call was connected, Wang Ting's voice sounded from the receiver.

"Just got off the boat. Uncle Wang, where are you now?" Xia Chan said.

"I'm handling some things at work." Wang Ting replied immediately.

"Uncle Wang, do you have time after you finish your work?" Xia Chan was not surprised to hear that Wang Ting was still working overtime on the weekend.

"I have time." Wang Ting pondered for a moment and said after confirming.

"Then I'll go directly to your house and wait for you. I have something to tell you." Xia Chan thought about it and decided not to go through all the trouble and go directly to Wang Ting's house. He also had the key anyway.

"Okay, I just happen to have something to tell you. There's plenty of ingredients in the fridge, so if you're hungry you can make it yourself."

Before Wang Ting finished speaking, the other end of the phone became noisy.

"Uncle Wang, you go ahead and do your work. I'm hanging up now. See you later." Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Xia Chan took the initiative to hang up.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Chan came to a bus stop not far from the port and took a bus to her destination - Wang Ting's home.
